Freezing Rains Create Traffic Hazards In
 Eastern Section of U. $.
(By The Associated Press)

Millions of Midwest motorists and pedestrians slipped helpless ly today on ce spread by extensive freezing rains.
 Subzero temperatures gripped the northeast and northern plains and the mercury skidded to freez- ing as wintry weather belted southern California.
 The ice slick extended from Kansas and Nebraska to southern Michigan and northern Ohio - along the border between a deep cold air mass and northward pressing warm rain clouds.
 Traffic was snarled and footing was treacherous for metropolitan workers in the morning rush hours. Hundreds of accidents were reported, with police switchboards damned, and hospital emergency rooms taxed by boom business in arm fractures from falls on ice.

WASHINGTON, R nm Whether the Atomic Energy Commission goes ahead with plans to blast out an Arctic harbor near Cape Thompson, probably will depend in large part on Alaskans' reaction to the idea.
 This is the view of Senator Bob Bartlett after consultation with AEC Commissioner Willard F. Libby and other representatives of the commission and it's Liver more, Calif., test laboratory.
 Blasting out the Arctic harbor was proposed by the federal agen- cy some months ago as a demon stration of the peaceful uses of nuclear energy.
 Bartlett said the AEC represen- tative expressed belief the project offers "great possibilities" and could be carried out with negli- gible, if any, after effects from radioactivity.
 While the AEC's originalpro- posal contemplated carrying out the project during the 1859 sum- mer, Bartlett said his conferences indicate the blast may be put off until 1860.
 One reason for this could be to provide time for the ''very inten- sive tests by biologists which he said are planned to minimize any dangers to human, animal, marine or bird life from radioactivity.
 Representatives of the Liver more Laboratory, he said, are ex-

Wash. State Solons Have Cordial
 Session in Juneau

JUNEAU, R - Cordiality and goodwill appeared to have reigned over the conferences - both for mal and informal - of Washing ton and Alaska State Legislators here Saturday.
 The Alaskans, in the midst of setting up their first state govern ment asked most of the questions.
 The Washingtonians, who came here after hurried arrangements last week in Olympia, were ready with answers on "hoW we do it."
 The expected big issue, recopro- cal licensing arrangement for the two states commercial fisheries, never came to the foreground.
 ''I think our job was just to come here and have ready answers for questions the Alaskans might ask" said Senator Dan Talley.
 We had a good session." said Representative Carl King, chair man of the House Fisheries Com mittee in the Washington Legisla- ture. He said the question of re- ciprocal licensing was not touched on because they (the Alaskans) aren't ready to discuss the sub- ject up here yet. After all, they don't even have control of their own fisheries"
 Tt was all very cordial but we really didn't learn anything new" said Senator James Nolan D- WrangelD.

JUNEAU, lR - Like old wine served in new bottles, the House passed the same legislative pay proposal in a new form Saturday.
 The representatives passed two new bills to provide legislative pay for Alaska's first state law makers. Salary and expense pro- visions were the same as set in a single bill passed earlier.
 One measure fixed the pay of Alaska's 60 lawmakers at $3,000 a year and expenses of $40 a day during sessions. The second bill would appropriate $225,550 to cover legislative salary and ex- pense costs until the end of the fiscal year, ending June 30. An other appropriation would be needed for the next fiscal year.
 Although the salary and ex- pense figures were the same, the two bills corrected a majer de- feet of the original measure in sep arting the salary scale from the appropriation and putting costs on a fiscal year basis.
 Acting Governor Hugh Wade had held the first measure legally defective and returned it to the Legislature with a long statement suggesting that the salary scale be cut to ease the financial burden of the new state.
 Both bills passed 29-9, with two members absent. Two Democrats and six Republicans opposed the measures and a third Democrat - Majority Leader Peter J. Kala- marides of Anchorage - cast a negative vote with the announced

SEATTLE. LR - A time cap sule message from Alaska's Gov ernor William A. Egan is being taken to Washington, D. C., by a Juneau high school girl, in con- nection with the dedication to- morrow of the new National Edu- cation Association Building.
 She is Sarah Pasma, president of Alaska's Future Teacher Asso- ciation, who stopped off to visit the Governor, recovering from an operation in Virginia Mason Hos pital in Seattle. The message states:
 "We know that Alaska's future is great. Its real greatness lies in it's youth - the next generation and the next. They are the ones who will see this budding young state blossom and flourish. They will make our dream a reality"

Russian Fishing
 Vessel Captured In
 Norwegian Waters

Aalesund, Norway, tR - A So- viet fishing vessel was brought into this west coast town by Nor wegian prize crew after having been arrested while fishing in Nor wegian territorial waters.
 The 100-foot craft was placed under police guard immediately on landing.
 West coast naval headquarters in Bergen earlier had issued a communique saying the vessel was caught shortly before noon while fishing two miles inside the Norwegian four-mile ifs h CT y limit.
 A big Russian fishing fleet - one estimate placed the number of ships at 300 - began trolling in the herring grounds off the Nor W6gian coast Friday. Several of the vessels crossed the four-mile limit then but were chased out by a Norwegian patrol boat.
 The Norwegian vessel Otra put on board a prize crew of five men. The Russian skipper protested the arrest and maintained he was not inside the territorial limit Cross sightings and radar readings con- vinced him, however, and he let the prize crew take the ship into Aalesund without further protest.

Alaska House Sends Through Two
 New Bills With Same Pay Provisions

purpose of being eligible to serve on a conference committee if there are amendments to the bill by the Senate There were II attempts to amend the bills At one point, Mi nority Leader Bruce Kendall of Valdez objected to "gag rulings" from the chair, but later withdrew his comment.
 Most efforts to amend the bill were aimed at cutting salaries or expenses. Only one, by Russ Mee- kins, Anchorage Democrat, pro- posed a boost in the pay scale, suggesting salary of S4,000 a year.
 The chairman of the House Fiji nance Committee, Eirl Hillstrand of Anchorage, said, You can't guarantee quality merely by pay ing money" He said integrity, courage and dedication could not be bought.
 11l1lOll dl1O o1IO 1|OI O o " SSAANJ VI Juneau were the only Democrats voting against the bills.
 Passage of the pay bills by the Senate could not come before Tuesday. Last week, Senators ap- proved the original pay bill in one day and the quick action ruined any chance it had of ad- ministrative approval.
 There has been little indication what action Wade may take on the pay bills. His suggestions for trimming were ignored, but any veto would stand a good chance of being overridden by the heavily Democratic controlled Legislature

Wild BilI Donovan Dies Of Heart Attack

WASHINGTON. R - Major General William CWild Bib D0no- van, who directed the govern ments daring intelligence opera tions during World War II, died yesterday. He was 76.
 Death of the former director of the Office of Strategic Services was attributed to a heart ailment. He had been in Walter Reed Army Hospital here for some time.
 Donovan won the Medal of Hon. or for leading the famed Fight ing 18th Regiment of the Rain bow Division in World War I. His fighting prowess became a leg end of the war.
 His nickname of "Wild Bill" stemmed from the exacting meth ods he used in training his men and the aggressive example of spirit and vigor he set for them.
 The OSS operations Donovan headed during World War II were worldwide in scope. The organi- zation conducted important re- search at home and daring exploits abroad, many of them behind en- emy lines.

Alaskans to be Consulted on Reaction
 To Plans For Atomic Blasted Harbor

pected to go to Alaska again to confer with various groups, in cluding possibly the Legislature and University of Alaska person. nel, prior to reaching any decision on the blast.
 The need for further public dis cussion was indicated last week in a letter Bartlett received from the Rev. William Mcintyre, presi- dent of the Arctic Circle Chamber of Commerce at Kotzebue. He said the Jesuit priest reported residents of that area uncertain in their re- actions to the proposal as the re- suit of lack of information as to it's effect upon them.
 While some Alaskans have sug- gested other Alaskan sites for the blast on grounds they would offer more economic benefits than the isolated Cape Thompson region, Bartlett said AEC spokesmen have indicated they prefer to undertake the Arctic blast first.
 From an economic basis, the re- sulting harbor at Cape Thompson could serve to spur the develop ment of coal and other resources in the adjacent area.
 Other suggested projects in clude the possible blasting of a ship channel across the Alaska Peninsula into Bristol Bay, or the construction of a harbor on the Gulf of Alaska for use in con- nection with possible Japanese de- velopment of the Bering River coal deposits

Radio MOnitOring Proved How Russ Shot Down Plane
By ELTON C. FAY

WASHINGTON, LR - Although officials won't talk much about it, radio monitoring by one nation to the military conversations of an- other has been going on since the early days of World War II.
 The United States announce ment of transcription which it said showed Soviet fighters shot down an American transport fo- cused new interest in the subject.
 Russia has accused this country of sensational farce in produc- ing the recording.
 Improved equipment in radio monitoring techniques has been developed since the first wartime use. Today the systems are vir- tually worldwide, presumably used by all major powers.
 The Defense and State Depart ments decline to say how this country recorded the interplane talk of the Soviet fighter pilots who, the United States declares shot down an American military transport near the Turkish-Rus- sian border.
 However, it may be assumed that area, like all other common borders between the East and West, is covered by a segment of the monitoring network.
 Radio listening posts are inn portant adjuncts to the Early Warning Radar System in Alas ka. Both American and Russian stations listen in on the radio traf- fife of their opposites.
 A story is told in Alaska in tended to point out this system - and to illustrate the whimsy of the SoViets.
 According to this story, an American transport plane was en- route between two points in west ern Alaska when it ran into bad weather. The plane sought to ra- dio the base for which it was headed, to ask for weather infor- nation and location.
 But the tricky atmospherics of the far north prevented the base from hearing the plane. However, the Soviet station across Boring Strait heard the plane, and re- layed the message to the base. These were the same Russians who normally send fighter planes screaming aloft to watch for stray American aircraft.
