Rev. Wartes Happy At News of Rescue

SEQUIM, Wash, R - No one was happier than the Rev: William Wartes at word young Presby- terian flying missionary and his Eskimo companion were safe after a night in the frigid Arctic wilderness.
 The Rev. John Chamber sue ceeded Rev. Wartes last July in serving the vast far north parish encompassing an area larger than the New England States.
 T told John before left that if he ever ran into trouble in the parish plane near Umiat to either turn back or land - and not con- tinue on toward the Brooks Noun tains," Rev. Wartes said today
 That's dangerous country, par ticularly at this time of the year, when winds shift suddenly and temperatures drop far below zero" !"
 Rev. Wartes, who spent seven years in the Arctic and now occu- pies the pulpit in this little north west Washington town, said he felt confident all along that Cham bers would make it all right" if the plane was not wrecked in the emergency landing.
 Wartes had flown the route countless times in helping bring Christianity to the Eskimo village at Anaktuvuk. He went through a number of similar experiences in forced landings, either from wea- ther or mechanical troubles, and during his services in the Arctic was frequently referred to as the most lost man in America" {"

Wade Promises A
 Balanced State Budget

JUNEAU, R-Acting Governor Hugh Wade has promised bal anced budget for the first fiscal year of the new state.
 The Governor said Monday he would send his executive budget message and a general fund ap- propriation bill covering the rec commended expenditures to the Legislature, probably Thursday.
 Specific amounts were not dis closed, but Wade said the budget would be balanced.
 Apparently this means the bud get will be something less than 26 million dollars, the states es- timated income between July 1, 1859, and June 30, 1860.

Mayor Brandt Will Not
 Accept Khrushchev Offer To Guard Free w. Berlin

BERLIN, R - Berlin's Mayor Willy Brandt rejected Soviet Pre- mier Khrushchev's proposal to station Soviet troops in West Ber- lin to help guarantee it's indepen- dence as a free city.
 Allied diplomats in Berlin also were cool to the plan. One called it a dangerous trap. Others said it was unacceptable in its pres ent form, but might be the basis of negotiations.
 Brandt told the city parliment that the proposal for Big Four garrison in West Berlin would merely serve to expand the So- viet area of occupation.
 Khrushchev proposed Monday night before an East Berlin rally that either neutral troops or Big Four troops be stationed in West Berlin to guarantee free city status.

Alaska Senate Approves House Amendments To State Courts Measure

JUNEAU, R-The Senate com pleted legislative action Monday on the bill to establish Alaska's first state courts.
 Senators quickly approved tech nical amendments offered by the House and sent the measure to the Governor.
 In other action, the senators second-guessed themselves con- corning bill to prohibit retail merchants from serving as local welfare agents.
 The House bill was passed, 11-9, at the morning session, but late in the afternoon Sen. John McNees moved to reconsider his earlier vote and others backed him.
 The bill already had been sent to the House for tranSmittal to the Governor, but was returned to the upper chamber where the Senate plans to give it another look. The senators will consider an amend ment which would permit the De- partment of Welfare, or it's suc- cessor, to allow a retail merchant to serve as a welfare agent under certain circumstances.
 Supporters of the amendment say the bill as written would eliminate many of the present 200 welfare agents who have been full filling their duties satisfactorily.

Morton Takes
He|mas
Strict Neutral
Committee Chiefs
Select Chicago
For go Convention
BY ]. A. OTEARY
Star stan Writer

ctar 6tAu WRITER
Senator Thruston B. Morton
of Kentucky began his career
as chairman Of the Republican
National Committee yesterday
with a promise to be neutral If
a race develops between Vice
President Nixon and New
York's Gov. Rockefeller for the
party's 1860 presidential nomi-
nation.
Senator Morton was named
to succeed retiring Chairman
Meade Alcorn yesterday morn
ing after the G. o. p. National
Committee picked Chicago as
its 1860 convention site and
July Is as the date. The Demo-
Gratis will begin their conven-
ton in Los Angeles on July H..
While conceding that he has
expressed a preference for Mr..
Nixon in the past, the Senator
assured reporters that he can
be absolutely neutral" in his
new position. He disclosed that.
through friends, he obtained
clearance as party chairman
from both Mr.. Nixon and Gov.
Rockefeller.
Won't Leave Senate
In his acceptance speech
Senator Morton made it clear
that he had no intention of
resigning from the Senate in
order to devote full time to his
party leadership job. He noted
that if he did resign, Ken
tucky's Democratic Governor
would be able to fill his seat by
appointment.
A highlight of yesterdays
National Committee meeting
was a hard-hitting speech in
which Senator Goldwater of
Arizona charged that the DEM
ocratic Party is dominated by
labor bosses. and bluntly told
his own party I've have got to
get into politics"
The only sign Of discord at
the two-day Republican gather
ing came when Senator Gold
water, in praising Mr.. Alcorn,
suggested that the Connecticut
lawyer took over about two
years ago, Eat a time when the
committee had been shorn Of
its power and was dictated to
by an individual in the White
House"
The Arizona Senator later
told a reporter his remark APP
piled partly to Sherman Adams,
former assistant to the Presi-
dent, but also to other king
makers" He said the situation
he referred to no longer pre-
walls.
AlcOrn Takes Issue
But a few moments later Mr..
Alcorn took issue with the SEN
ator. declaring that he had
"the most complete and willing
help from the White House
from the President down." He
said this cooperation came
from Sherman Adams as well
as others.
Senator Goldwater, while
praising Senator Morton, in
sisted that any elected official
taking over the national chair
manship should have a full
time professional assistant to
help run the party headquar-
tiers. He also urged the Ma
tional Committee to make it
clear to the White House that
it wants the national chairman
to attend Cabinet meetings, as
was once the case.
Senator Morton told a press
conference there would be GER
tain advantages to attending
Cabinet meetings, but be wants
to discuss it with the White
House before committing him
self.
AS to a full-time assistant,
the new chairman said he will
