Defense Dept. Asks Approval For 5l Arctic ArmOries

WASHINGTON, R = The De- fense Department has asked the House and Senate Armed Services Committees to approve construc- ton of small armory-type build ings in 51 Arctic villages for use by Native Scout Battalions of the Alaska National Guard.
 Col. George N. Kibler, install lations branch chief of the Army's National Guard Bureau, said the buildings would cost roughly $2O,0OO each.
 He estimated committee accept ance or rejection of the request would not come for another three weeks and added no request would be made to the Budget Bureau for funds until after the committee acts.
 Kibler said the request requires only committee concurrence and not action by Congress. Money for construction, he said, would come from already appropriated funds.

MIKE TODD DIES IN CRASH IN NEW MEXICO

GRANTS, N. M., R = Heavy earth moving equipment churned into a muddy stream today to dig for clues to the cause of the crash which killed producer Mike Todd.
 'The plane hit at an awfully steep angle = practically straight down." said Phillip Goldstein, in vestigator in charge of the Santa Monica, Calif., office of the Civil Aeronautics Board.
 Unofficial theory blamed the crash on icing, which pilot Bill Werner, 45, had reported only a few minutes before the Saturday morning crash. Some pilots on the scene said it appeared only one engine was working when the Lockheed Lodestar IT "the Lucky Liz" = smashed into the ground and exploded.
 The plane, named for Todd's wife, actress Elizabeth Taylor, was scattered over half an acre. One engine and other portions were buried feet deep in the muddy soil in a fused mass.
 Identification of Todd's re- mains were made in telephone comparison of dental charts be- tween an Albuquerque dentist and Todd's New York dentist. The remains of screen writer Art Cohn, 45, were identified by a money clip he carried.
 An associate of pilot Werner and co-pilot Tom Barclay, 34, identified them.

 McNamara, former president of Detroit Local No. 636 of the Pipefitters Union, dissented also on some other scores, but he said he did agree with many things the majority stated.
 The committee singled out em- ployers in seven states for what was dscribed as "union busting" tactics. The employers were ac- cused of using Labor Consultant Nathan Shefferman's services for this purpose.
 McNamara said he didn't think the committee went far enough in it's probe of management mis- conduct. He suggested that in dustry should consider the AFL- CIO example of adopting a code of ethical practices.
 Without going into detail, the report urged Congress to consider legislation in five fields: CD to regulate and control pension, health and welfare funds; @ to regulate and control union funds,

FAIRBANKS, R-A 36-year- old Eskimo from Noorvik, a tiny village above the Arctic Circle on Alaska's west coast, won the North American Grand Cham pionship Sled Dog Races here yes terday on his eighth attempt.
 For the past seven years AL fred Wells has been trying for top spot in the three-day 70-mile race. He has always finished in the money, but never before in first place.

RickOver Scores
 U.S.'s Progressive Education System

WASHINGTON, R-Rear Adm. H. G. Rickover says the country soon may have to choose between better education or lower stand ard of living.
 Rickover, father of the atomic submarine, made the statement yesterday while voicing strong criticism of progressive educa- ton and the teachings of the late John Dewey.
 He said Dewey's ideas have led to the abandonment of academic subjects and the substitution of trivial, recreational and voca- tional subjects alleged to be of more practical value"
 Rickover said the replacement subjects "barely touch the mind, :" even for average pupils.
 Dewey, the acknowledged lead CT of the progressive education school, held schools are primar- fly social institutions and edu- cation is "a process of living and not preparation for future liv- ing"
 Rickover said the nation could assure a high standard of living for future generations by full util- ization of human resources.
 ''But it cannot be done with 180-day school years, drivers training courses and print shops in high school" he added.

 Plans RevitaliZe Mining Industry

WASHINGTON, R-A Senate Interior subcommittee today opened a hearing which Sen Murray D-Mont) said is aimed at replacing the Eisenhower admin istration's mining program with one that would "re-establish the mining industry upon sound ec- onomic foundation"
 Murray, chairman of the sub committees parent committee. said unemployment is more rampant in mining than any other general field"
 Hundreds upon hundreds of small mines have closed down completely in recent months," Murray said. Our larger mines those which employ hundreds and thousands of workers each-have been forced to curtail production.
 Dividends from mining opera tions are rapidly becoming only conversation topics that are re- called when there is discussion of the good old days"
 Murray said the "so-called long range minerals program submit ted by the administration last year proved to be fictional ra- ther than real" and industry spokesmen termed it an made quate program which would hurt rather than help domestic min ing"

Budget Bureau, Public Administration Service Work on Alaska Transition

 2 WASHINGTON, LR - A Budget Bureau spokesman said yesterday the bureau has established liaison with the Public Administration Service to work on problems of Alaska's transition to Statehood.
 A firm of private consultants| has been hired by the Territorial government and the Alaska State hood Commission to study needsI of the transition period froml Alaska's view. A federal study, ordered by President Eisenhower, will be coordinated by Haroldl Seidman in the Budget Bureau
 Seidman said today the bureaul and PAS has agreed to cooper ate the study, each calling to thea others attention any matter which it might uncover in the others. field of operation.
 The Budget Bureau now is await ing returns from the various fed. eral agencies and departments inl response to the Presidents direct tive that they spell out the effect Statehood will have on their in dividual programs.
 From these replies, due next week, Seidman says he expects to flush out the problems Be- cause of the growth of the fed. eral government since the admis- sion of the last two states in 1912, the transition problem in connec- ton with Alaska is without pre- cedent.
 It is further complicated at the present because - until Alaska's Nov 25 election - there is no official pr body to speak officially for the new State. Seidman ex- poets to go to Alaska after the election to confer with the elected governor on problems involving coordinated action by federal and state governments.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
 By OLAF HALVERSON

Astronomy is the oldest of the true sciences. Its early history is buried somewhere in the great depths of time, though we can definitely trace it back to about 5000 years ago.
 There is no doubt that the ris- ing and setting of the sun and moon must have caused wonder ment even at the very dawn of mankind. Ancient people must have been awed by the heavenly bodies which we see today.
 The earliest records known are those of the Chinese. Next come the records of the Babylonians and the Egyptians. It was not until the time of the Greeks that related astronomical observations were recorded. Much of what we know about the structure of the Universe is due to the study made by the Greeks.
 Copernicus, who hundreds of years later came up with the basic plan of the Solar System, gives credit to Pythagoras (569-470 B.C0 for the original idea that he made.
