Federal Reserve
 Board Tigghtens g Interest Rate

WASHINGTON, tR - The Fed eral Reserve Board, showing deep ening concern over the threat of imitation, has reversed it's re- cession policy and moved toward tightening the money supply.
 The change in direction-the first since last November-came with the announcement that ef- fective today the discount rate at the San Francisco sReserve Bank would go up from 134 per cent to 2 per cent.
 The discount rate represents the interest charged Federal Re- serve member banks borrowing money from the reserve system. A boost in discount rates nor mally goes hand in hand with a general increase in interest charges.
 Thus, the reserve board action yesterday held broad implica- tions for anyone planning to go into debt to buy a factory, an automobile or a living room rug.
 The general feeling in finan- cial circles was that only a worsening of the economic pie ture could make it cheaper to borrow money.

cheechako alike recognize him as the fellow who for fourteen years was non-voting delegate to Con gress and all those fourteen years worked for Statehood.
 As a candidate to the US. Sen ate, he is hoping to be able to cast his vote along with the repre- sentatives of the other 48 states.
 This trip, he stated, is more in the interest of Statehood than a political tour, however.
 Actually" Bartlett said, "this trip is being made solely in the interests of doing my best to as sist in rolling up a big vote for statehood at the August 26 refer endum. The general election will provide opportunity for can didates of both parties to present partisan viewpoints. Now those of us who believe in statehood, Democrats and Republicans alike, have a mission to perform in ex- blaming statehood and correct ing erroneous statements which have been made. am con- vinced that statehood will be ap- proved on Tuesday of the week after next by a mighty flood of votes"
 Delegate Bartlett leaves tomor- row morning on the "49th State Express" a non-political flight originating here, going to Unala- kleet, Kotzebue, Barrow, Gam bell and possibly McGrath al- ready scheduled to take advan- tage of this marvellous opportun- ity to see all the high points in Northwestern Alaska are: Bob Bartlett, Hugh Wade, Olaf Hal verson, Dr. and Mrs. w.

Alaska Statehood Not Altering Plans Of The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico

SAN JUAN, P.R., R - State hood for Alaska is not altering the plans or aspirations of Gov. Luis Munoz Marin for Puerto Rico.
 ''We're not on that road at all, '" Munoz says. "In our status of Commonwealth, we are a unique creation within the American system.
 "The people here, by their voting, prefer this. Our common wealth can be improved. Noth- ing is perfect. But our position is not way station toward statehood or independence"
 Interviewed in his office in historic La Fortaleza, oldest executive mansion the western hemisphere, Munoz spoke opti- mistically of the future of his island homeland.

matter is too ridiculous for any further comment"
 But even as the furore ragged in Congress there was no solid con- firnation that the Pentagon was undertaking any special sur render study. A spokesman would only say that it was stand ard military practice to consider all eventualities, even those un- likely to arise.
 The rumors apparently traced back to a study by the Rand Corp, an independent, nonprofit organization which engages in national security research. Rands which has a contract with the Air Force, analysed the ways in which other countries have sur rendered in the past.
 The study, completed last year, was recently published in book form with the title Strategic Surrender, The Politics of Vic tory and Defeat"
 But Rand denied that the study dealt with any possible American setback.

dustrial economy with ever riS- ing per capita income.
 Munoz admits the current re- cession has been felt in Puerto Rico, but mot as much as on the United States mainland"
 Having lured much light in dustry to the sunny island in recent years, Munoz said the tendency now is toward heavier industry to provide more jobs to balance the economy and fight the poverty of bygone years.
 Does Puerto Rico, with it's exemption from the federal in come tax and its tax exemptions for industry, steal industry from the mainland?
 The governor contends it does not. Islanders pay a common wealth income tax.
 As for plants deserting the United States and moving to Puerto Rico, he says:
 ''We have a deliberate policy that no tax exemption will be granted to a plant moving out | of another location"

Statehood Will Bring New Era For Alaska Natives

"The advent of Statehood will usher in a new era for the Native people of Alaska, as it will for all Alaskans," MT. James E. flaw kins, Area Director of the Alas ka Native Service, announced.
 3Rumors have been circulating throughout Alaska concerning the adverse treatment of Natives af- ter Statehood is achieved. An especially vicious runor is that the Native people will be re- quired to leave their homes to live on reservations. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The Alaskan Native will be full citizen of the State of Alaska and will enjoy the same rights, privi- leges and responsibilities that any other citizen enjoys. Indeed, the Native Alaskan will enjoy a freedom and voice which was inn possible under Territorial status" MT. Hawkins said.
 "The very nature of the Alas ka Constitution guarantees the Native people voice in the State Legislature unknown before this time Legislators will be lected from Bristol Bay, the Low CT Yukon, the Aleutians, and other outlying regions which have never before been repre- sented in our Legislature. A goodly number of these legis- lators probably will be Natives serving proudly beside their fel- low citizens from other parts of 
 Section 4 of the Statehood Act passed by Congress guaran- tees and protects the rights and interests to any lands or other property Gncluding fishing rights) which may be held by any Native, or which is held by the United States in trust for any Native.
 "The services rendered by the Native Service will be unchanged by Statehood" MT. Hawkins added. All of the pro- grams now administered by the service will continue, with closer ties being sought with the new state government. Indeed, the teamwork of the Native Service and the state government can bring a new era of progress and prosperity to the Native people of Alaska" Hawkins concluded.

Reds Say Nautilus Voyage Was In
 Preparing for War

LONDON, R - The Soviet Army newspaper Red Sta r charged today that the United States sent the atomic submarine under the Arctic ice as part of its war preparations against the Soviet Union.
 In an article broadcast by Mos COW radio, Red Star referred to s'the big propaganda hullabaloo set up by the US. press in it's attempts to depict the trip of the Nautilus as Americas answer to the satellite"
 The paper questioned official American statements that the aim of the transpolar voyage was to open up a sea route for nuclear- powered freight submarines be- tween the worlds two main oceans.
 "No, the U.S.A. was not in terested in scientific problems or a peaceful study of the Arctic, " Red Star declared.
 "The nuclear-powered, rocket armed submarines are meant for war against the U.S.SR."

WASHINGTON, R Presi- dent Eisenhower today described as ridiculous nonsense any thought that the United States might surrender to an enemy in the event of atomic war.
 Reacting to published reports of such study, Eisenhower authorized his press secretary. James C. Hagerty, to say:
 "As far as the President is concerned all this talk about surrender is nonsense"
 The whole subject was heated ly debated in the Senate last night, with chairman Richard Russell D-G0 of the Armed Services Committee leading a fight against voting any funds for possible surrender study purposes.
 Hagerty said Eisenhower, after approving the prepared state ment, authorized him to say in addition;
 Even if he tEisenhower) were given money for this purpose it would not be spent. The whole
