Claim Freeze
In Antarctica
II Other Nations
Will Be Invited
To Treuty TuIks
BY EARL II. VOSS
star stan Writer


A treaty freezing the politi-
cal-territorial status quo in
Antarctica is expected TO be
proposed by the United States
tomorrow.
The American Government is
expected to invite IL other ma
tions to a conference to write
the treaty and work out details
Of an extension Of scientific CO.
operation in the Antarctic be-
yond the December 81 expira-
ton of the International Geo.
physical Year.
For economy reasons. the
United States is already cur
failing its operations in the
Antarctic. Two of its bases,
at Ellsworth and Wilkes, are to
be turned over temporarily to
other countries.
Arrangements for Australia
to take over the Wilkes base
are already well along. Argen-
tina and Britain are now nego-
tiating with the State Depart
ment for Ellsworth.
Time, Place Undecided
Time and place of the con-
ference are understood to be
left for the participating ma
tions to decide. Soundings by
the State Department in recent
weeks have established that
most of the present IL partici-
pating. nations would like to
continue their scientific CO.
operation beyond the end of the
ICY.
The conference should be
held soon if adequate prepara-
tionS are to be made for an
other summer seasons explora-
tions on the cold continent. The
season opens in December and
logiStic problems in Antarctica
take months to work out.
The IL nations the United
States is expected to invite are
the United Kingdom, France,
Australia, New Zealand, Union
of South Africa, Soviet Union,
Argentina. Chile, Belgium, Nor
way and Japan.
Russia, Australia. Britain,
France. Norway. Argentina,
Chile, Spain and New Zealand,
all have made claims to terri
tory in Antarctica previously.
Japan and Germany made pre-
war claims. and Japan is par
ticipating in the scientific ex-
plorations there during the
ICY.
Gentlemen'S Agreement
During the l8-month period
of the ICY there has been a
gentlemen's agreement among
the disputants that no terri
torial claims will be pressed.
Because the cooperative ex-
plorations and scientific studies
have been so useful. most ma
tionS want to continue them
beyond 1858. But operations
would be difficult if political
haggling were to break out
again over which nation is SOW
eregin in which sector of the
South Pole area.
Duration of the proposed
treaty freezing" the status quo
in Antarctica presumably would
be a matter for negotiations
at the conference.
1t would be expected to last
as long as the scientific Coop

ficials would not comment
about the expected announce
ment tomorrow. 1t is to be

House or the State Department,

AsGirnnlick
U. N. Told Plan
Would Help U. S.
Get Military Dutu

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
May 2 R.-The Soviet Union
today denounced the Eisen-
hover Arctic inspection plan as
a "gimmick" TO get military in
telligence in Soviet territory.
A Soviet diplomat said a veto
was evident.
Soviet Delegate Arkady A.
Sobolev told the United Nations
Security Council that Russia's
position had remained un-
changed despite the appeal of
u. N. Secretary General Dag
Hammarskjold.
He took a slap at the secre-
tary general for getting into the
fight and made it clear that Mr..
Hammarskjold's relations with
the Soviet Union had been
harmed.
Charge Tossed Back
In effect Mr.. Sobolev tossed
back at President Eisenhower
the latter's charge that the
Soviet announcement on the
suspension Of nuclear tests was
q gimmick.
Mr.. Eisenhower told a news
conference on April 2 that he
viewed the Soviet statement as
"just q side issue. I think it is
a gimmick and / don't think it
is to be taken seriously"
Mr.. Sobolev did not say spe-
ciflcally how he would vote on
the pending United States pro-
posal for immediate technical
talks on Arctic inspection, but
he rejected the plan with such
vigor an abstention appeared
improbable.
He insisted that the whole
idea must be referred to a
summit conference without pre-
lminary discussion.
He repeated Soviet charges
that the Arctic inspection pro-
posal was intended primarily
as a measure to gain military
intelligence from Soviet ter
ritory.
NATO Chorus" Cited
Support in the U. N. Security
Council, ne said. was by a
friendly chorus of NATO mem
bers.
"The joining of the secre-
tary general in this chorus"
he said, did not change the
nature of the United States
maneuver or make it more at
tractive. This did not con-
tribute to the strengthening of
the authority of the secretary
general but to the contrary. -
Mr.. Sobolev addressed the
11-nation Council after Chief
United States Delegate Henry
Cabot Lodge had accepted a
Swedish compromise proposal
in an effort to avert a Soviet
veto. The move, however,
apparently failed.
The Soviet delegate declared
he could not accept the Swedish
amendment which inserted into
the original United States
resolution a reference to even
tual discussion of the inSpec-
ton plan at a summit meeting.
Presses Summit Action
Russia had insisted on the
whole issue going to a summit
conference without preliminary
discussions. He again pressed
for this idea.
The American proposal asks
the Council to call for imme-
diate discussions by the nations
with Arctic territory on tech
nical arrangements for aerial
inspections against surprise at
tack. The United States reso-
luton was pronfpted by a So
Wet complaint that flights
toward the Soviet Unions Arctic
frontier by United States
bombers armed with nuclear
weapons threatened to touch
off another world war.
The Soviets at a Council
meeting earlier this week de-
manded that the Arctic Situa-
ton be taken up at a summit
conference. not in lower-level
technical discussions.

ence probably will be less than
it was during the first quarter
Of 1858.
The forecast, released to-
day, envisioned continuing
large supplies of food through
the spring and summer, al
though somewhat smaller than
last year. Meat supplies are
likely to be under last years
high level, but about as much
better grade beef will go to
market.
More chickens will be avail
able than last spring and early
summer, but fewer eggs and
turkeys. The supply of dairy
products will be a little larger.
Processed fruits and vege-
tables, according to the Agricul-
ture Department seers. will be
a little less than the heavy
supplies of last year. Supplies
of fresh fruits and vegetables
will increase as summer ap-
proacheS.

A very large crop of peaches

cause of winter freezes.

problems. We feel paterna1ly obligated to give them guidance and leadership for Alaska now on two basic grounds"
 First, Alaska is not ready for Statehood because it does not have a self-sustained economy and cannot afford to support the added costs of statehood.
 Second, and of paramount social importance, the Consti- tuition that has been written for Alaska in preparation for state hood is not an instrument of democracy but one of oligarchy that would impose a vicious slavery on the rank and file of politically naive and immature Alaskan citizens"
 Darling asked that Smith have a thorough study made of the proposed state constitution-which he called an 'invidious instru- ment''-before the Rules Commit tee acts on the statehood bill.
 The proposed state constitution was drafted by 55-member constitutional convention auth orized by the Alaska legislature in 1855. It was approved by Alas kan voters on April 24,1956, by better than two to one mar gin, 17,073 to 8,060.

the cross for the Son and the dove for the Holy Spirit.
 Over a hundred LutheranS came from Fairbanks. Anchorage, and Seward including pastors; Glen o. Groth of Spenard and A. H. Mjorud of the Central Lutheran Church in Anchorage.
 The guests were housed through the cooperation of the tourist committee of the Chamber of Commerce.
 Among the special guests were Helen Frost, better known to res idents of Northern Alaska as Sister Helen who came from Sit ka where she now works with young people, but who spent many years in Teller and Marys Igloo; Bertha Stedje who has worked in Nome but now sta toned in Teller; Noreen Paul. son of Juneau and formerly of Teller Mission.
 The visitors brought their own choirs which blended with the local choir into an ensemble of voices that filled the church with inspiring music.
 Dr. Foss said "We are very pleased with the work and the progress of the church here under the ministry of Rev. T. Knudson and have high hope of soon being able to complete the construction of parsonage, educational unit and social rooms"
 "The Evangelical Lutheran Church expresses sincere thanks to the people of Nome, the Cham Der of Commerce, the press, all Churches in the community for all the help they have given us"

Our Savior's Lutheran Church which opened it's doors last Oc- tober twas formally dedicated Sunday with an inspiring ser vice which started at eleven in the morning and lasted until the middle of the afternoon.
 Dr. Fredrik Schiotz, president of the Evangelical Lutheran Church and outstanding Lutheran leader in many fields, gave the dedication address with Dr. H. l.. Foss, president of the Pacific Dis trict assisting in the rite of ded- ication.
 Rev. Thomas Knudson, local pastor who was assisted in the ser vice by Rev. Norval Hogland of Teller who it will be remem- bered was marooned at Sinnok for a couple of days with his plane. Rev. John Maakestad, pas tor of the Shismaref church who was to have participated in the ceremony but was delayed by weather made dramatic en- trance late in the afternoon near the close of the ceremony, bear ing gifts for the distinguished guests from the Shishmaref church.
 Six handmade sealskin plaques were presented to become part of the permanent background of the sanctuary and were made by the women of the Shishmaref, Teller and Nome churches. They represent six Christian symbols; Holy baptism, Lords Supper, Word of God (open bible) and the Trinity represented by hand, palm downward for the father,

WASHINGTON, R " Alaska statehood legislation was down" on the agenda of the House Rules Committee today-way down.
 The statehood bill, which chair man Howard Smith D-Va is frank to admit he's filibustering, was listed sixth and last on the committees program for today's consideration at morning and afternoon sessions.
 The Alaska bill went to the Rules Committee last June but gathered dust until late March when the committee held half hour hearing. Another session was held last Thursday.
 In the two sessions the commit tee heard only two witnesses.
 Chairman Engle D-CaliH of the House Interior Committee ac- cused the bills opponents last week of "stalling" in an effort to postpone House consideration until too late to obtain Senate action at this session.
 Meanwhile, news media in the nations capitol received over the weekend copy of a letter sent to Smith by o. E. Darling, head of Seward commercial company and a leading advocate of Com monwealth status for Alaska.
 In it, Darling said the firm which he now heads has writer off more than a quarter million dollars worth of accounts re ceivable during it's life in the territory because it would not stand by and see Alaskans go hungry and cold"
 He continued:
 <iMany thousands of veteran Alaskans and their issue now scattered widely over the entire territory remember and appreciate this and look to us for guidance on Alaska's economic and social

Half Million
 Workers Exhaust E. s. C. Benefits

WASHINGTON, LR - Secre- tary of Labor Mitchell says more than 5OO,OOO workers have ex- hausted their unemployment compensation benefits. He urged speedy enactment of an admin istration plan for extra pay ments ''so these workers may have money to live on."
 Mitchell's statement was issued as the Labor Departments Bur- eau of Employment Security re- ported that during the week end- ed April 12 unemployment among workers insured for jobless bene- fits rose by 49,OOO. to record 3,363, 200.
 This report showed the rate of unemployment among insured workers rose that week to rec ord 8.1 per cent. Some 43 mil lion workers, about two-thirds of the nations labor force, are covered by unemployment com pensation.
 The total of insured unemploy- ment-representing workers on the sidelines at least a week-was about 100000 bigger in mid-April than in mid-March.
 This data indicated the over all unemployment total for April probably will be close to the 5,200,000 level of March. Nor mally at this time of the year un- employment drops sharply as outdoor work picks up.

Eisenhower Again Proposes Aerial
 Inspection to Reds

AUGUSTA, Ga.,R Presi- dent Eisenhower called on Sov- jet Premier Khrushchev today to join the western allies in an Arctic region aerial inspection program against massive sur prise attack.
 The President, in brief new note to the Kremlin leader, also appealed for Soviet Union re- consideration of the Eisenhower April 8 proposal for study of nuclear test. ban controls by technical experts. Russia last rejected that proposal.
 In calling on the Soviet Union to join western allies in an Arc tic area aerial inspection program, the President pointed out to Khrushchev that the United States already has announced its in- tention of bringing up the matter in the United Nations Security Council tomorrow.
 T am sure," Eisenhower wrote Khrushchev, "that with the grow ing capabilities in the Soviet Union and the United States of massive surprise attack, it is necessary to establish measures to allay fears"
 Eisenhower said agreement on such an inspection program would be a significant first step toward disarmament.

Federal Subsidies Proposed For
 Copper, Lead, Zinc

WASHINGTON, R-The Eisen hover administration today pro posed federal subsidies for do- mestic producers of copper, lead, zinc, acid-grade fluorspar and tungsten.
 Secretary of the Interior Fred Seaton told a Senate Interior Mining Subcommittee President Eisenhower had endorsed the stabilization payment plan for depressed mining industries. He said proposed legislation to carry out the five year plan will be sent to Congress soon.
 The payment program would cost $161, 100000 the first year, Seaton estimated. The cost would drop after the first year "as pro- duction responds to demand and as our economy resumes it's long term health and vigor," he said.
 Under the plan the government would pay producers the differ ence between the domestic mar ket price and stabilization price specified for each mineral.
