Committee Probes GOldfine Adams. Case Drags On

WASHINGTON, lR - House investigators developed today that Bernard Goldfine was entertain ing a group of business asso- ciates at New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel in 1854 when Sher- man Adams was also his guest there.
 Goldfine, who was in trouble with the Federal Trade Commis- sion at the time, swore that Adams did not come to New York by pre- arrangement to meet with him and and his business associates.
 He said Adams, his close friend and No. 1 aide to President Eisen- hover, just happened to be in New York and accepted his hos pitality at the hotel.
 The Boston textile man was under questioning by the special House subcommittee exploring the kind of treatment he has received from federal regulatory agencies and the question of whether the agencies have been influenced by his friendship with Adams.
 Both Goldfine and Adams have denied there was ever any at tempt at influence or that Gold fine got preferred treatment.
 In explanation of a $1.600 bill he got from the Waldorf Astoria. part of it for entertaining Adams, Goldfine told the House group:
 q had invited about seven or eight people that do business with They were not in polit- ical life"
 '''They were my guests, and Gov. Adams and his wife hap pened to be in New York, and invited them to be my guests for dinner"

Bartlett Against Proposals To Legalize Gambling g

WASHINGTON, R - Delegate Bartlett says he's against any pro- posal to legalize gambling in Alaska now or in the future.
 He said he believes his feel ings are shared by a majority of Alaskans.
 "The proposal has never been taken seriously" Bartlett said in a radio broadcast.
 The suggestion that Alaska might resort to legalized gamb- ling, including parimutuel betting on dogsled racing, has been made in newspaper stories.
 Several senators have protested publicly in Senate speeches against any such proposal. The latest came Monday from Sen. Richard l.. Neuberger O-Ore). He said it would be an abysmal mistake.

 Pelly noted trade figures re- porting a Japanese catch of more than 41,OO0,OOO pounds equal to 100000 cases-of salmon as of June 10. Japanese fishermen, Pelly said, use nets not allowed American fishermen.

Canadian Parliament Applauds Ike

OTTAWA, R President Eisenhower told warmly ap- plauding parliament today that Canadian American pickering must not stand in the way of winning of the global struggle" against Communist imperialism.
 Members of the Senate and House of Commons, many of whom have been critical of U. s. policies, especially in the econom- ic field, beat their hands and desks.
 Both Eisenhower and Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, who introduced him, agreed that the Soviet economic and political menace is as great as the Russian military threat.
 Diefenbaker called for a free world offensive, "as new and challenging policy in the economic field designed to extend a mea- sure of prosperity everywhere"
 He presented the chief execu- tive as "a good neighbor and friend"
 The President conceded that there are frictions between the

Admission As State Will Not Greatly Change Effect of Jones Act On Transportation Costs To Alaska

WASHINGTON, LR - Alaska's S admission isn't expected to make any great change in the trans portation picture to and from the aspiring state.
 That's the opinion of spokesmen for government regulatory agen- cies. It's also the view shared by Delegate E. l.. Bartlett.
 This despite a section in the statehood act repeating, in effect, a provision of the 1920 Jones Act which prohibited the use of Canadian vessels in the movement of cargoes from the United States to Alaska.
 Bartlett said he believes the effect of the revision in itself will be minor-''it's not been the effect but the discrimination to which I've objected"
 But he does see in the change a chance for some reduction in transportation and wharfage costs as a result of the threat of Cana dian competition.
 Under the 1920 act, it wasn't possible for example to ship a cargo of flour from Minneapolis through Canada by rail and then on to Alaska by Canadian vessel. Delivery in Alaska had to be made by US. vessel.
 In the eyes of many Alaskans,
The Nome nugget., 1958-07-09

this provision-authored by for. mer Sen. Wesley Jones of Seattle
 gave Seattle shipping interests a built-in monopoly on the Alas kan trade resulting high rates.
 For the last several years, Con- gress has made a partial exemp- tion between points in southeast Alaska and the states.
 The revision in the statehood act, however, would be perma- nent and would extend the author ity for Canadian shipping to all parts of Alaska.
 While neither the Federal Mari time Board nor the Interstate Commerce Commission has had time to assess the effects of the statehood act, spokesmen are not inclined to look for any great change.
 An ICC spokesman said: "A railroad will not voluntarily es- tablish through routes and joint rates which will result in short hauling itself. And most of the railroads which come into posses sion of traffic for Alaska would desire to retain their long haul by transporting it to the west of the United States, rather than deliver it to Canadian railroad at some intermediate point"

Canadians Want Access Through Alaska Panhandle

VANCOUVER, B.C., R = Brit ish Columbia and Yukon mining men have asked Prime Minister Diefenbaker to discuss with President Eisenhower the ques- ton of Canadian accessways through the Alaska Panhandle.
 The request was made in wire sent Tuesday night to Diefenbak- CT by the B.C. and Yukon Cham Der of Mines.
 The chambers message asked that the matter be placed on the agenda of the two leaders talks in Ottawa.
 The chambers message said:
 Existence of the panhandle in present form covering .approxi- mately one-half British Colum- bias coastline is retarding min- ing development in the northern section of this province.
 Problem will become more serious during future years ano may have detrimental effect or normal friendly relations be tween the two countries"
 The message continued by say ing the creation of accessways will lay "solid and permanent foundation for future mining anc industrial development" of Nor. thern British Columbia, Yukor and Alaska.

two neighbors. He got a big hand when he expressed a belief that i've will find acceptable solutions"
 He said it will take understand ing, common sense and "a will ingness to give and take on both our parts"
 Ten times Parliament inter rupted the Eisenhower address with applause and the traditional desk humping.
 The house chamber and its galleries were filled. Mrs. Eisen- hover looked down from one gallery.
 The setting for the Presidential address was the great oak and stone chamber of the House of Commons in towering Parliament Building-a spot which has re- sounded more and more with criticism of the United States and its policies
 In awareness of such criticism, Eisenhower came to the Canadian capital yesterday to attempt to strengthen ties of friendship which have been slipping.

Admission of Alaska Upsets Abstract Statistics

WASHINGTON, lR - If Alaska comes in as the 18th state, the geographic heart of the United States may no longer be in the United States at all.
 It may be in Southwestern Canada-or even in the Pacific Ocean, somewhere off the coast of Washington State.
 These were preliminary guesses today of officials of the U. s. Geological Survey and the u. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey.
 One thing is certain: the geo. graphic center would shift from it's present position somewhere near Lebanon, Kan.
 The geographic center is de- fined as ''the spot at which the United States would balance if it were all the same thickness and were suspended on a pin point" ~
 One way of figuring it is sim ply to take map of the United States, paste it on cardboard and then find the center of grav- ity by placing your map on pinpoint.
 Sounds easy, but Alaska pre- sents complications for such stunt, because there is no con- tinuous land connection between Alaska and the rest of the United States. A portion of Canada pops up in between.
 A government expert told a reporter "you can figure it out mathematically by taking what we call coordinates of points all along various coastlines but that would take long time by ordinary mathematical methods, and might even take days and cost thou sands of dollars even with modern high-speed computing machines. !"
 Some observers said that per haps the easiest thing to do would be to settle for the present geo. graphic center of the entire North American continent. This lies in Pierce County, North Dakota, a few miles west of Devils Lake.
 Geographers stress that the geographic center either of the United States as a whole or of separate states is not an exact point, just an approximation.
 Admission of Alaska would also cause a switch in the pres ent population center of the United States. This center is calculated after the general cen sus is made each 10 years.
 As of 1850, the Census Bureau located it at approximately eight miles north-northwest of Olney in Richland County, Illinois.

New Military Pay
 Bill Puts Premium On Special Skills
By EDMOND LEBREToN

WASHINGTON, R-A top en- listed man in the US. armed ser vices could make more than $10,OO0 a year if Congress passes the military pay bill the House will consider Monday.
 An officer could make more than $31, 1000.
 These Woud be rare cases, but compensation of practically all career men in the armed services would be stepped up consider ably, and the raises would be heftiest in the top brackets of both enlisted and officer ranks. This is deliberate policy, to en- courage men to make their car eers in uniform.
 Moreover, the services would be authorized to give enlisted men special promotions, or extra pay up to $1,8OO a year, if they became proficient in skills need ed by the services.
 Disregarding scattered com plaints that the bill estimated to cost more than 500 million dollars a year was being rushed without much consideration, the House Armed Services and Rules Com mittees highballed the measure through yesterday.
 It was said the bill was ex- pected to produce a more stable, more efficient force for national defense"
 The services have been com- plaining they cannot keep highly, and expensively, trained techni- clans nor talented young officers, and that the cost of training new patches every year is oppressive.
 Officers and enlisted men with less than two years service-most of whom would be doing obi- gated service would get no raises.

Japanese Desire Meeting to Resolve Fishing Problems

SEATTLE, R- An official of the International Association of Machinists said that leaders of the Japanese Fishermen's Union want to meet with representatives of American unions in the fishing industry in an attempt to solve the North Pacific salmon crisis.
 Rudolph Faupl, who represents the Machinists in foreign affairs, said the Japanese union leaders believe they can, in a face-to-face meeting with their American counterparts, reach an under standing on the salmon problem.
 American fishermen hay e blamed fishing by Japan's high seas salmon fleet for serious decline in American and Alaskan salmon stocks. They have urged a drastic cutdown in US. imports of low-cost Japanese tuna and salmon.
 Faupl said such demands have been interpreted in Japan as evi- dence of anti Japanese feeling and have been exploited by Japa- nese Communists.
 Anything like an arbitrary tariff could upset the trade bal ance between the United States and Japan and throw Japan into the Communist orbit. And God help us if Russia ever gets the know-how and ability of Japan"

There are many ways in telling the world about Alaska and Opal Catlin, administrator for the hos pital has initiated a new method of spreading the information.
 Instead of answering inquiries from organizations seeking such information about Nome and the hospital with a letter, she has carefully prepared tapes with Is minutes programs for them which she sends complete with pictures of the hospital and it's staff.
 Communities receiving them are not only using them for club programs but in some cases have had them broadcast over radio stations as well.
 One interesting part of the broadcast pinpoints the fact that the MNGM Hospital is the farthest northwestern hospital on the coast of North America open tc all people, also that on it's staff are not only white nurses, but Eskimo, Lucie Okpealuk, gradu- ate nurse; Samoan, Faafouina Velegg, graduate nurse; Philip pine, Silvario Ruiz, cook, and re- tired US.
