U. s. Chides Reds For Resuming Nuclear Tests

WASHINGTON, R - The United States, chiding the Soviet Union for resuming nuclear wea- pons tests, says it will go through with plans for a one-year U. S. test suspension if the Soviets will follow suit.
 The State Department issued that announcement Tuesday night a short time after the Atomic Energy Commission reported the Soviet Union had terminated it's much-heralded but short-lived test suspension with at least two new blasts.
 The department described the Soviet tests as confirmation of U. s. suspicious that the Soviet test suspension. announcement last March 31 was just propa- ganda.
 The AEC announcement of the new Soviet tests backed up re- ports earlier in the day from Tokyo that blast waves from the direction of the Soviet Union had been detected.
 "Two detonations were de- tected," the AEC said. "Both took place north of the Arctic Circle and were of moderate to high yield"
 In announcing the United States hopes to adhere to its own suspension plans, the State Department noted that talks ini- tiated by this country are sched- uled to begin in Geneva October 31, on means of reaching agree ment on policing worldwide test suspension.

President Calls On All Americans
 To Comply With Integration Ruling

WASHINGTON, R - President Eisenhower today called on all Americans to comply with the Supreme Courts school integra- ton rulings lest there be grave consequences" to the nation.
 Eisenhower sounded the call - to both public officials and pri- vate citizens alike - at news conference.
 He was asked whether, in the light of the courts decisions, Ar kansas and Virginia should re- open their closed schools on an integrated basis without being forced into it by the federal gov ernment.
 Eisenhower had anticipated such questions. He pulled out a prepared statement and read it.
 "The Supreme Court, in it's opinion rendered Monday, once again has spoken with unanimity on the matter of equality in the nations public schools. It is en- cumbent upon all Americans, pub lie officials and private citizens alike, to recognize their duty of complying with the rulings of the highest court in the land. Any other course, as I have said be- fore, would be fraught with grave consequences to our nation," it said.
 Americans have always been proud that their institutions rest on the concept of equal justice under law. We must never forget that the rights of all of us depend upon respect for the lawfully de- termined rights of each of us. As one nation, we must assure to all of our people, whatever their col !

 Grassi was sentenced to hang Monday after a sanity hearing in Grays Harbor County Superior Court found him mentally capa- ble. The sentence was mandatory since the aged Italian was con- victed in 1923 of staying three Aberdeen men. At that time he was judged insane and committed to the Washington State Peni- tentiary.
 Now, Grassi wants to be free to return to Italy. The 'sanity hearing was the first. step. A pe- tition for communication of the hanging sentence and a pardon from the governor are barriers yet to be hurdled.

Bop of Blue Lites-' What Was It?

The sound of an explosion in the air raised the birds, such as geese, ducks, and many smaller birds, from where they had settled for the night on Friday evening at the Nook, it is reported. The explosion in the sky was followed by brilliant blue light with a tail, which streaked through the sky for few brief seconds, and disappeared in the southeast.
 The same sight was witnessed at Koyuk, at King Island, and by four persons out on the Sunset road, from where Harriet Brown reported the same blue light with tail. The time has been estab- lished at 3 minutes to 8 o'clock on Friday evening.
 Sunday afternoon another un- usual light flashed across the southern sky from west to east, travelling very fast, and ending with an explosion. This was re- ported by several people.

 Neither did correspondent for an Alaska newspaper, who questioned the President at to- days news conference. She asked whether he planned a personal visit to Alaska to welcome the new State.

Moose Increase In Alaska Despite Increase In Forest Fires

SALT LAKE CITY, LR - John l.. Buckley of the Bureau of Sports Fisheries and Wildlife at Washington told the Society of American ForeSters convention yesterday that there has been a substantial increase in areas burned in Alaska this century.
 Since 1940," he said, the an nual area burned has averaged nearly a million and quarter acres"
 In his paper Buckley said the fire "has undoubtedly reduced several species of wildlife in Alaska. With other species, such as moose, the result has been quite the opposite.
 Ut is highly unlikely that there kave ever before been so many moose in Alaska as there are today"

Canadian Ships Catch 774 Whales During Season

VANCOUVER, B. C., R - The B. C. Packers limited whaling fleet of six vessels caught 774 whales during the six month sea- son this year, compared with 635 in 1857.
 The whalers operate out ot Winter Harbor, near the north end of Vancouver Island. The sea- son, from April l to Sept. 3Gth, wound up two weeks early this year because of bad weather off the west coast.
 Chief feature of the season was the preponderance of baleen whales caught, compared with sperms. This was blamed on a shift in ocean currents which also affected Pacific Coast sal mon runs this year.
 Total of 560 baleen whales, which are plankton feeders, were caught. Sperm whales are bot tom feeders.
 Baleen wnales have low oil content and the carcasses are used chiefly for mink feed and fertilizer, for which there is a steady market. The world price Tor sperm oil is low at present
 The B. c. fleet is the only one on the North American Pacific Coast north of San Francisco.

Two Nuclear Power Plants To
 Be Built At Alaska Defense Sites

ANCHORAGE, H1 - PlanS TOT construction of two nuclear power plants to be built at government installations in Alaska were re- vealed Tuesday by Washington's Governor Albert Rosellini.
 Here on a good will tour, the governor told a Chamber of Con- merce luncheon his information came from unofficial but ''thor- oughly reliable" sources. He said the information was not classified but that location of the plants was secret.
 The Governor said the plants would be used to displace diesel oil generators now used at the defense installations.
 "I understand it costs about 30 cents a gallon to fly oil to the bases, making it economically feasible to build nuclear power plants" Rosellini said.
 "It is very fitting that the. atom should become the new work horse of the Arctic" the gover- nor added. "This is a decade of great scientific achievements. Many of these advances will speed the development of Alaska tremendously"
 The Governor renewed his pleas for a high level conference on water resources.
 f'The development of known dam sites on the Alaska-British Columbia border would produce a power source greater than that of the Columbia River," Rosellini declared.
 Rosellini pumped for a more direct highway between Wash ington, Oregon and Alaska, and said such a highway should have "a connection to the panhandle area of southwestern Alaska.
 "Who would have thought a few years ago." Rosellini said, "that an atomic power plant would soon be producing power on the frozen tundra = power to defend our nation and to open vistas of production form the vast wealth of natural resources in Alaska"
 Earlier Tuesday, Frank E. Je- rome, chairman of the Alaska Washington Development Commit tee and president of the Seattle First National Bank, said he has received numerous inquiries from large national concerns about Alaskan development.
