Communists Fail in Attempt to Poison Free Radio Crew

MUNICH, Germany, R-Radio Free Europe said today agents of a foreign Communist power have attempted mass poisoning of it's employees.
 Most of the employees of this privately financed, American sta tion are refugees from Iron Cur tain countries.
 Erik Hazelhoff, of Mount Kisco, N. Y, Radio Free Europe's Euro pean director, said poison was found November 21 in a number of saltshakers at the stations caf- eteria. The cafeteria is frequented by 1,200 employees, who often bring their families.
 The director said the substance was analysed by U. s. Army med ican authorities and was found to be a poisonous drug derived from the deadly nightshade plant.
 Hazelhoff said the poisoning attempt was disclosed by a Radio Free Europe employe "who al- though ostensibly used by a for eign Communist power for sab otage purposes" has been cooper ating with American authorities from the time he was first con- tacted by the Reds.
 'He also revealed the identity of the person who planned the act as being a Communist diplomat stationed in Western Europe act ing on the instructions of his government" Hazelhoff continued
 The cafeteria was closed

Opinions Aired at
 Boundary Hearing

The Boundary Commission hearing on borough boundaries for this part of Alaska was held yesterday afternoon at the Fed eral Building.
 The commission holding the hearing had dwindled to two members, Robert Scott and Bob Fleener, due to inclement wealth CT in other parts of the State, which has caused delays and dis rupted schedules.
 Appearing before the Commis- sion with recommendations were Russ Hermann for the Chamber of Commerce, Mayor Steffen An dersen for the city, and George Bayer for the Nome School Board, each of whom recommended that the Northwestern District be held in one unit as an organized bor- ough until such time as the State Legislature defines rules and reg ulations governing boroughs.
 Recommendations were pre- sented by Judge Hubert Gilbert, who suggested that these boun- dary lines might be extended to include some of the area directly south and east of the Northwest ern District because of ethnic and economical similarity. It is easier to reduce the boundaries than to try and extend them at later time, he advised.
 Dick Gallaher voiced the opin- ion that Nome should be inter ested only in the immediate area around Nome, and not try to in- clude the Arctic or Unalakleet areas at all.
 Some of the responsibilities and duties which might be placed on the borough by the Legislature were discussed by other persons present.
 Mrs. Blodgett of Teller, and Art Johnson of Unalakleet, voiced opinions that from what they had heard at the meeting, their com munities would probably be in accord with the Nome Chambers recommendation for an morgan ized borough

Newsnen Barred From CanaveraI sIn Error

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla, R Major General Donald N. Yates, who ordered newsmen barred from missile launchings because of news service story, lifted the ban Tuesday.
 The commander of the Missile Test Center said his action in effect 25 hours - was based on a misunderstanding.
 Resembling of the ban by Yates came after strongly worded tele- gram from Lyle Wilson, vice pres ident of United Press Interna- tional in Washington, denying Yates charge that a UPI story Saturday violated an agreement not to pinpoint the date of fu- ture space probe.
 Wilson said the story was based on information from independent sources in Washington, not on briefings at the test center.
 The story, carrying a Wash ington dateline, told of plans to send a rocket to the vicinity of the planet Venus and into orbit around the sun. It said the firing would be Tuesday.
 After the story appeared, the launching was postponed for tech nical reasons.
 The Air Force general told re- porters Monday at his weekly news briefing that the news serv- ice had violated an agreement not 10 release the launching date.
 As a result, Yates said, for the time being he would not brief reporters on future military 1aunchings nor allow them to cover such launchings from the press site here.
 Wilson's telegram to Yates said the UPI would accept reasonable regulations of news coverage at the test center but i've will not for moment submit to nor permit long to endure your interference in news coverage here in Wash ington."

First Army Firing Of EielsOn Missile Is Self-DestrOyed

FAIRBANKS, R - The Army tried it's first operational firing of a Nike-Hercules missile last night The weapon exploded only 20 seconds after launching.
 The Army said the 40-foot, five ton missiles mechanism failed to function properly. It destroyed it. self more than 47 miles from its target.
 The target area was 50 miles from the launching site near Eiel- son Air Force Base. If the firing had gone according to plan, the Nike-Hercules would have ex- ploded near enough to a theoret- ical target to destroy it.
 The temperature was 20 de- grees below zero as members of the End Missile aBttalion fired the big weapon into the dusk There was a shower of sparks and flames after it dropped it's booster rocket and exploded.

Senators Say AZ Buddy Plan May Be Abridgement

WASHINGTON, tR Three Senators say they'll look into a buddy system" at a Kansas Air Force base, in which squad lead CTS are designated to keep tabs on the off-duty life of their fellow airmen.
 "I think this is carrying the spirit of togetherness a little bit too far," said Senator Mike Mans field O-MonD. "This would tend to lower morale, which is not too high as it is"
 The buddy system was dis closed at Forbes Air Force Base, Topeka, Kans. The Strategic Air Command headquarters in Oma- ha said the system has improved morale, reduced unfavorable incl dents and boosted re-enliStment rates.
 At Forbes, Brigadier General Ariel S. Nielsen had each squad ron divided into small groups headed by non-commiSsiOned officer. These leaders, he said, should learn details of each mans family history, his financial sta- tus, whether he owns a car and his driving habits, what he does with off duty time, and with whom he associates.
 Senator Thomas Jennings Jr. O-Mo, chairman of the Senate Constitutional Rights Committee, demanded a full report from the Secretary of the Air Force. An aide said Henniligs is concerned that the system might abridge the constitutional safeguards of airmen."
 SAC headquarters said some forms of the buddy system have been used since 1856. It said the system had a two-fold aim to retain good men in the Air Force through re-enliStment, and to eli minate undeSirableS.
 At Topeka, General Nelson said today any idea that the sys- tenn will mean policing an air mans activities around the clock is completely wrong.
 He said the new program only means there will be careful coun- selling and guidance.
 ."It is only what any father would be doing for his son."

ALASKA AIR FORCE RESERVE OFFICERS TO BE ORGANIZED

WASHINGTON, R-An active Reserve program for Air Force officers in Alaska is expected to be set up in the near future, Sen ator Bob Bartlett said yesterday.
 The Reservist program was first proposed in 1856, but at that time there were not enough Air Force reservists in Alaska to war rant a program, Bartlett said.
 The Air Force now feels a Re servist program for officers in Alaska ''is not only feasible, but desirable," Bartlett said.

Drama Critic of The Star

I don't really know how
I got to Denver. I suspect
it relates vaguely to the last
few years during which I
have been identified with
two types Of projects con-
cerned with culture and its
exchange.
One Of these is represent
ing this country at the
phenomenon called the film
festival. This began in 1857
when I went to Berlin as
The American juror. In 1858.
I was designated delegate to
the Cannes film festival. This
past summer, I returned to
Berlin as an observer.
That is one aspect Of my
identification with culture.
Another is that I do a
monthly broadcast for Voice
Of America on the state Of
theater and film art in this
country.
Dim But Promising
It is from this background
that I have been sprung-I
can think of no more precise
word-as a panelist here
today
First, I should like to men
ton that there is in Wash
ington today a kind of cul-
tural ferment. Washington's
main business, of course, is
government, the instrument
of which rather too often
seems to be politics.
Nevertheless, there is a
consciousness among those
who govern in the course of
playing politics that there
may be today a perilous diff
