Alaska Land Board Decides Its Policy Regarding Oil x Gas Tidelands Leases

ANCHORAGE, tR U The Alas ka Land Board Friday had ten= tatively decided on a policy that would place all salt water tide lands in competitive bidding status for oli and gas leases.
 In reply to query near the conclusion of an executive ses- sion, Land Board Chairman Phil Holdsworth said the board prob ably would adopt the following policies:
 l. Place all tidelands = or "salt water bottoms" - up for competi- tive leasing.
 2. Conform with the federal regulations that limit companies or individuals to leases on 100000 acres and options on 200,0O acres, the same regulations that apply to federal leasing.
 3. Non-competitive biddin would be in effect on all areas not classified as known petroleum structures.
 Holdsworth said terms of the Alaska Land Act of 1857 spells out that leasing regulations should conform with the federal act as much as possible. The limitations of 100000 acres under lease and 100000 acres under option is open to special development agree ments with the Land Board.
 Land Boards policy action was taken after an all-day hearing Thursday in which major oil companies presented conflicting recommendations.
 Proposals voiced by companies urged extending the acreage limi- tations from 100000 acres to l. 500,0OO acres. Some firms recom- mended that all limitations be lifted.
 The Land Boards decision on policy would require competitive leases only on the Gubi Field, which is proven oil and gas field at this time.

COP. Platform: To Work For
 Hawaii Statehood

HONOLULU, R - Republicans of 12 western states and Hawaii asserted at their closing confer ence Friday night that Democrats stalled Statehood for the Terri tory at the last session of Con- gress.
 The conference adopted Hawaii statehood as it's only platform plank and invited the Democrats to help bring it about. The plat form committee said it would rec ommend a platform covering in- terests of the west at the 1859 conference, whih probably will be in California city.
 A call for the COP to begin now recruiting its most capable and ar ticulate candidates was issued by the key speaker, Secretary of In- terior Fred A. Seaton.
 For the Republicans to run and win - not just run - we must have good candidates = men such as Arizona's Senator Barry Gold water, reelected by 36,O00 votes; Nebraska's Senator Roman Hrus- ka, reelected by 47,0OO; Oregon's 36-year-old Mark Hatfield, who defeated a one-term Democratic governor by 60,O00 votes; Pennsylvania's Republican Sena- tor-elect Hugh Scott, winner by 117,000 votes, and Nelson Rocke- feller, who swamped New York's Governor AvereIl Hartman by more than a half million votes"
 ''There are others, of course" he added, 'fbut these will suffice for illustration"
 Seaton, who denied at a news conference a report that he in- tended to resign as Secretary of the Interior, said he is sick of talk that the party is hopelessly split, and added:
 "A split party is luxury only Democrats can occasionally af- ford. We Republicans can't afford it at all."

Union BOOkkeeper Testifies Beck Repaid Loans

TACOMA, Wash, R - Former Teamsters union president Dave Beck sent the Joint Council 28 Building Association a check for $200,000 in repayment of a loan that never appeared on the union books, an ex-bookkeeper for the Teamsters testified Friday.
 Donald Mcdonald told feder- al court jury hearing the $240, 1000 income tax evasion case against Beck that he received the check in August, 1854.
 Assistant U. s. Attorney John Obenour introduced into evidence an accord and satisfaction agree ment in which Beck acknowledged a $2O0,000 debt to the union. The agreement was made in July, 1854.
 Mcdonald said he received a note from Beck few months la ter in which the labor leader said he owed an additional $50,000. This, too, was paid, Mcdonald said.
 The former bookkeeper has been questioned on the stand for two days as to whether any of the different accounts he handled for the Teamsters showed any loans to Beck. Each time he has answered no.
 While government attorneys have been attempting to prove that Beck's income in 195O-55 was not reflected by his tax returns, the defense has contended his in creased income came from bor- rowed money and as such was not taxable.

Restoration Of Land In The Sitka Area

The Governors Office today an- nounced that Assistant Secretary of the Interior Rogert Erst has signed public land order partial ly revoking Public Land Order No. 842 of June 19, 1852.
 The revocation order will per- init Alaska to select approximate ly 1,073 acres near Sitka in con- nection with it's mental health program.

FULTON, MISSISSIPPI TIMES: You have heard it said that churches and newspapers rise and fall to- gether. In every land bent under a tyrants yoke, two things stand out CD controlled press and (2) an intimidated church. You may put it down for trusm that there cannot long be free church in a nation which has slave press By the token, free press will not endure alongside imprisoned church.
 "The two are thus dependent each other and complementary to each other. The press maintains freedom of the mind and the church preserves freedom of the spirit Both are necessary. Take away and the other is sorely distressed"

People WILL Read!

WE ARE ENCOURAGED to believe that the W printed word is here to stay - despite radio T-V, the movies sky-writing. In addition to the fact that the nations newspapers have circula tion than before book ''Of Lasting In terest," provides further confirmation.
 In this volume James Playsted Wood newspaper and college professor tells the story of De Witt Wallace and Lila Acheson Wallace and the most fabu- lous publishing operation of time The Readers Digest. MT. Wood relates how, in the course of 35 years this branchild of the Wallaces has gathered unto itself the remarkable devoted attention of more than 12 million American subscribers has prOlferated into 30 editions in 13 languages with total of 21 mil Eon global subscribers and estimated 79 million readers.
 Additionally, as the author points out there is the non-profit September -through-May Educational Edi- tion for high school students There Braille edi tions for the blind in English, Japanese Swedish, Spanish and German, and then there are transcrip tions of each issue paid for by the gifts of Digest readers and employees. Unsold newsstand copies are distributed to prisons, veterans and service hospitals youth centers and homes for the aged and needy.
 The facts require that story that began in base ment under Greenwish Village nightclub moved to the suburban garage and pony-shed of New York public relations man, thence outgrew the rentable, eatable parkable facilities of the town of Pleasant ville N Y, and established its own manytmes banded plant 80-acre tract in the countryside beyond must be somewhat in the Horatio Alger tra- dition
 But that fillip of denoument that every work of ar fact or fction must have is here, too From 1922 until 1855 it's devotees and critics alike were con- vinced that the sensational success of Readers Digest largely based it's emancipation from advertis- ing. But when the momentuous decision to accept advertising was made, the publishers not only swamped with far orders than they could fill, but still readers bought more copies and at higher price.
 s"The simple fact seems to be-" observes Mr. Wood, "that most Americans like advertising. 'They read it as news. They conscious of adver Using and look to it for excitement and novelty. Often the advertising provides much information and entertainment as some of the news stories, and always it is an accurate running commentary day-to-day life"

Delaware Fastest

Nation.
DeIaware's population has ap-
parently increased slightly more
than 40 per cent in eight years, the
Official Seventh Decennial Census
of 1850 having placed the states
population at 318, ,085. In early 1856,
the state passed the 100000 mark
for the first time, and, in 1857, the
population scared to an estimated
438. .0e9. The 1858 estimate indicates
gain of approximately 10000
since 1850.
The greatest population gains
since 1850 have apparently been
made in the areas outside of the
City of Wilmington, rejecting, ac-
cording to the Development De-
partment, nationwide trend to
suburban living. The population of
New Castle County, outside of tbe
City of Wilmington, is now esti-
mated at 184,043 as compared to
los, ,460 for the same area in 1850.
Wilmington, which had 110,356
residents in 1850, now is assumed
to have in excess of 115,000.
Substantial gains have also ap-
parently been made in Delaware's
lower counties: Kent County, which
had $3.50 people in 1850, is now
assumed to have about 10000 resi-
dents; and Sussex County, which
had 81, 1886 persons at the time of
the last Official Census, now has a
population estimated at "a 600.

Br0ilers Need
Room TO Grow

Today, efficiency is the by-word
of Delmarva's great broiler indus
try. But efficiency has to be coup
led to production of quality broil-
er with good finish to hold our
competitive position in the market
DPI's Keep Delmarva Growing
Committee points out that suffici-
ent feeder space is very important
in the production of this well fin
ished, high quality broiler. The
DPI Committee and extension
poultryrnen are recommending at
least 20 five-foot trough feeders per
1000 birds. The recommendation
also includes using the reels to
|reduce feed wastage. If the grow
er prefers round, hanging feeders,
the recommendation is 20 large, or
25 small, feeders of this type per
1000.
All feeders need to be we'll spa
ced IN the house SO a bird won't
have to walk more than 10 feet
to the feed source. Spacing also
is very important to the grower
using automatic feeders. When au-
tomato feeders are preferred, the
recommendation is to use one run
through the house for each 10 feet
of width.
Several reasons have been given
for supplying ample feeder space
tor the birds. It will increase feed
efficiency and in turn give better
feed conversion. Many growers be-
lieve that it decreases cannibalism
and bareback troubles.
In several instances where feed
er space has been increased, there
has been saving of several days
growing time with production of a
better quality broiler. Also, it is
reasonable to believe that at mar
ket time the flock is core uniform
due to less competition for feed
space.
The committee reminds all grow
ers that quality and finish is what
the buyer is locking for. Adequate
feeder space helps broilers grow;
helps keep Delmarva growing!
