Missile Expert Says US. Is
 Trying Too Hard

LOS ANGELES, tR - T h e United States is hog-tied in the satellite race because it is trying to produce an elaborate space ve- hicle too soon, says Dr. Werhner Von Braun.
 This country's leading missile expert last night criticized the "idolized weapons system con- cept" - the idea of integrating the vehicle, it's armament, navi- gational aids and supporting ground equipment before it is launched.
 Did the Wright Brothers op- crate under the weapons system concept?" Won Braun asked in addressing the Western Space Age Conference.
 Lets get a good, big rocket engine adequate to power a man. ned orbital rocket, even if the latter does not qualify as an inte- grated weapons system but is mo- thing but glorified test bed, !" he said
 We are literally hog-tied be- cause we cannot proceed without first satisfying all the small print specifications required under the idolized weapons system con- cept," said Von Braun, chief of
 
 the guided missile development at the Army's Redstone Arsenal at Huntsville, Ala.
 This concept is thoughtlessly applied to the United States fledgling steps into space, said Won Braun, adding:
 Tn fact, I am quite convinced it has already cost us serious de- lays"

A winters end snoWstorm slammed the northeastern sea- board today with a fury which at times eclipsed the devastating hurricanes of recent years. Life, property and services received shuddering blows.
 From Virginia to New England, gale force winds flung mountain ous heaps of snow onto the land- scape and sent high tides flashing at the shorelines as the first hours of spring arrived.
 Transportation was badly snar- led. Hundreds of thousands of homes, stores and offices were without electricity and telephone service Thousands of persons in heatless homes were evacuated. Schools by the hundreds were closed.

Shah of Iran SOrrowfuI
 Over His Divorce From Beautiful Queen SOraya

TERRAIN, Iran, lR IT The Shah of Iran, in a Moslem new year radio broadcast, told his people today he could not join in their celebrations because of his sor- row over his divorce from Queen Soraya. He called her "my dear wife who has been my faithful friend"
 The Shah divorced his beauti- full 26-year-old queen last week because she had not given him an heir. His advisers had urged that he take another wife who might give him a son so the throne could be passed from father to son.
 "This decision is one of the most difficult I have taken" the ruler said But I have always forgotten my personal affairs for the sake of the country since \ succeeded to the throne"

Warm Weather
 Noted At Nenana
By DON R. CLARK Nenana Ice Classic Manager

NENANA - The ice was mea- sured today under the Nenana Ice Classic tripod and is still the same thickness, AZ inches, so it has not changed from the mea- surement of last month.
 A hole has 'opened below the Nenana river in the Panama ap- proximately one mile below the tripod, so this unusually warm weather we are having must be having some effect on the ice in places.
 The wire will be strung from the tower on the bank to the tri- pod in midstream on Saturday. It will be marked with several diff ferent colored flags so that planes will not fly into it. Fred Mueller and William Monroe will do the rigging as they have done for many years.
 The Ice Classic clock is being sent to Heinz Orchard, jeweler at 503 Third Ave, Fairbanks for it's yearly check up.

Living Costs Still On Rise Despite
 Business Downturn

WASHINGTON, R - A new high for food costs sent the na- tion's living cost level to still another peak mark in mid-Feb- ruary.
 The official index rose two tenths of per cent between January and February, reaching 1925 per cent of the 1947 -49 av- craze. This is 3.2 per cent higher than year ago.
 The reason. living costs are not responding to the general busi- ness decline, but continuing up- ward on their own, is that most consumer cost items don't re- spond quickly to general econ omy conditions.
 Durables, such as autos, appli- ances and so on, and soft goods, such as gasoline, fuels and coth- ing, are responding somewhat to the general downturn.
 But food and service costs m haircuts, medical care, pubic transportation, rent, repair and cleaning charges m are still ris- ing.

Colombo Plan Conference Maps
 Better Life

SEATTLE, R III Visibly buoyed by five-point program for prog ress handed them by President Eisenhower, 200 delegates to the Colombo Plan conference grappled yesterday with the grim details of bringing about better life for one-third of the human race. The delegates II Asians in par ticular = expressed keen appre- citation of Eisenhower's attention to detail. They hailed his five spe- cific avenues toward improving living standards among south and southeast Asians as encouraging take off points for some stern work ahead. Spokesmen for the six donor countries, 12 recipient nations and three colonies, noted these points in their responses to the Presidents speech:
 l. Although progress continued this year in developing the coun- tries which the plan was created to help, the rate of progress slowed generally. How much was not stated. The meetings on the ministerial level are closed.
 2. Implicit in the whole Asian situation is the idea that time is short.
 The President himself noted that millions of people went to bed hungry, had never had enough to eat. Pakistan delegate Moham- med Ali underscored the idea with the warning that it is flu tile to talk to hungry nations of economic theories or the blessings of the democratic way of life. 7. . . In Asia, the people see no rhyme nor reason as to why they should remain ill fed and ill clad when Gods bounties have been bestowed for all mankind"
 The Ceylonese delegate R. s. S. Dunewardene, noted that trade and trade balances have fallen off, partly because of fear of an Amerz ican depression.
 Politely not mentioned, but well known to every man present, are four recent turnovers in Asian governments - all rooted in the slow rate of progress which their increasing populations have ex- pected since gaining freedom.

SeatOn Order
 Upsets Cook Inlet Fisheries Program

ANCHORAGE, R - The abo- lition of fish traps ordered by h. terior Secretary Fred Seaton will make necessary large-scale re- organization of the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries program in Cook Inlet, Johs Skerry, in charge of the fisheries office here said Monday.
 Removal of the traps could mean additional fishing time for area fishermen, Skerry indicated.
 There are 55 pile-driven and hand traps in the inlet. None are owned by Natives and this would come under the Seaton order.
 In the past, the units of fishing gear - nets - to be used in the inlet during the commercial sea- son have determined the length of the fishing week. Last Season, fishermen were allowed to fish two 24-hour days a week.
 Elimination of the hand and pile traps would reduce consider ably the number of fishing units in Cook Inlet. The end of traps, too, is seen by many conserva- tionists and fishermen as a move which will bring about increased net fishing in the future.
 Five firms operate most of the traps in the inlet m Fidalgo Is land Packing Co.,; Libby McNeill and Libby; Snug Harbor Packing Co.,; Pacific American Fisheries, and Alaska Year-Round Canneries Snug Harbor and Alaska Year round are Alaska companies. SUBSCRIBE TO THE NUGGET

&c Mayor Explains
Open Court Records

Tabor City Mayor Howard
HarrelSon said today that in
view of the complaints he and
'other town officials and employ
ees have been getting about
publication of the cases tried in
Mayors Court, that he should
clarity the situation.
Court records here and in all
other North Carolina Courts are
matters of public record and are
open To- any citizen at any time.
The Mayor, the Town Board, the
Police Department and the City
Clerk must show these court re-
cords To anyone requesting TO
see them. Mayor Harrclson said.
The results of cases tried in
Mayors Court are not sent TO
any newspaper or anyone else.
The newspaper exercises it's leg
al rights to take this informa-
ton off the court docket and to
publish II, which they have been
doing" he said.
The Mayor also pointed out
that some instances have arisen
IN which State Highway Patrol
men or other State or County
officers have lodged prisoners
In the town Jail over night and
then when results of these cases
dld not appear IN the town court
results, some people believed
that the case was deliberately
left off the docket and out OF
the newspaper.
Such is not the case" the
Mayor emphasized. these cases
are made by State Courts and
the cases are tried in Whitevillr
or elsewhere and is thus not a
part of the Mayors Court docket
from which the cases are pub
.lc.Z"d. However, cases in which
our local policemen make ar
rests, even for State violations.
are heard first in Mayors Court
and these do appear on the local
docket. These then go on to the
higher court in Whitevillc if
probable cause is found"
We simply want the public
to know that the court record
is open to everyone all the time
whether they are associated with
any newspaper or not" Mayor
lHarrclson said.
