Auto Workers May Not Ask Raise In Pay

DETROIT, LR - Walter P. Reuther faced a tough decision Thursday.
 The United Auto Workers Union president re-entered con- tract talks with General Motors for the first time since they got under way more than two months ago.
 Reuther had to decide before midnight Thursday whether to accept GM's proposal to extend the 1855 contract another two years or comply with GM's terms for operating without contract.
 GM, the worlds largest man. ufacturing firm, Wednesday night spelled out it's own terms for keeping it's plants in the United States open if there is no set clement when the contract runs out.
 The terms include abandon ment of the union shop and checkoff of union dues-the life blood of the powerful industrial union.
 GM a month ago set Thurs day nights showdown by can ceiling it's contract with the union instead of as in the past, waiting for the union to set the date.
 Ford and Chrysler are expected to set the same terms in event the union fails to reach an agree ment with them by contract termination time Sunday mid night.
 Reuther has sheathed his strike weapon because he says it would be insane to strike the car makers in a recession year when there is a huge inventory of un- sold cars.

ly because of the racial issue and threats of southern filibuster.
 The 208-166 vote by which the bill was passed found TIT Demo crats and 91 Republicans voting to make Alaska the 18th state In opposition were 81 Democrats aid 85 Republicans, including House Republican leader Joseph w. Martin Jr. of Massachusetts and other veteran Republicans.
 Adopted by the House, but not in the Senate bill, are pro- visions to tll require a separate vote by Alaskans on whether they favor immediate statehood and t2J to retain federal control over Alaska's fish and wildlife until the proposed state enacts legislation which the Secretary of the Interior believes would guar antee management of the re- sources in the interests of con- servation
 Opposition in the Senate is ex- pected to hinge on the same points raised by opponents in the House that Alaska's admission would be a precedent for similar action toward Hawaii and other offshore areas, that it's two sen ators would dilute the Senate representation of more populous states, and that land grants un- der the bill would constitute a '.giveaway' of natural resources now belonging to all the United States.

National Guard and Reserves May Operate BOmarc Missile Sites

FORT WORTH, Tex, R - The Air Force disclosed tentative plans Thursday to operate Bo- marc guided missile sites with Air National Guard or Air Force Reserve units.
 It. Gen. William E. Hall, chief of the Continental Air Command which supervises reserve activ- ities, said the character of in terceptor missiles may be such that the sites could best be manned by reservists and re- ulars.
 Hall said, in a report prepared for delivery to the Aviation Writers Assn. annual meeting, that interceptor missiles such as the new 40O-mile Bomarc actually may never have to be fired. Thus he said, the essential part of manning the sites may become one of maintenance periods of months or years.
 Tt is entirely possible that there will be psychological fac tors concerning such operation that can better be met by re- servists than by members of the active force," Hall said.

Eskimos Report Best Walrus Hunting
 Season In Years

This has been the best walrus hunting year for the Eskimos in many seasons, it is reported by the hunters who have been com ing in with many boatloads of walrus meat.
 One boat alone headed by Paul Tuilana has caught 50 walrus. He stated that the walrus herds are all around King Island this year and the natural cold stor- age on the island is being filled with many tons of meat. He arrived Thursday bringing "old chief Olaranna.
 Tuilana says that this means the carvers will have plenty of ivory this year and can do plen- ty of carving.
 Chief Olaranna said this morn ing q have seen thousands and thousands of walrus this spring. People say that the walrus are getting less, but to tell the truth, what I have seen when we went out hunting this spring is un- believable. There are thousands of walrus on the floating ice for miles and miles,"
 "The walrus meat is our main food at King Island. When we get back to Nome for the summer we carve the ivory from the walrus. What has happened this spring is a wonderful thing in our lives"
 Chief Claranna stated that he would not be going back to hunt because his eyes are so poor.
