Lou Costello,
 Famed Comic, Dies Of Heart Attack
By JAMES BACON A-P Motion Picture Writer

HOLLYWOOD, RADeath called the final cue for chubby comedian Lou Costello while by coincidence, Bud Abbott watched a TV movie of the teams famed "Who's on First?" routine.
 ''Tell me, why was watching that picture at that particular time? I never watch it. After all, I've seen it thousand times"
 Abbott, who had seen little of his old sidekick since their split up in 1857, cried as he told how he received the news of Costel- los death at 53.
 A heart attack - his second within a week - took CoStello'S life only minutes after he had sent his wife home from the hos pital with a wisecrack to cook dinner for the couples youngest child.
 He turned to nurse and said he wanted to be rolled over on his side.
 T think I'll be more comfort able," were his final words.
 Thus ended the comedy career of a modern day Pagliacci who clowned through personal life filled with illness and tragedy.
 In the decade from 1943 to 1853, Costello suffered six serious ill- nesses - four of them rheumatic fever attacks and the tragic drowning of his only son, infant Lou Costello Jr.
 Abbott and Costello performed their famous 'who's on first !" baseball routine five times for the late President Franklin Roosevelt, who told them it was his all-time comedy favorite.
 Costello, who was born in Pat erson, N. J., was a burlesque com ic when he teamed up with Ab- bolt in 1880. Abbott was drafted from the cashiers office when Costello's straight-man failed to show up.

 A motion yesterday by Rep. John Curtis of Kotzebue put over until today final action on the court bill An amendment by Rep. John Rader to raise the proposed pay of the eight superior court judges to $21, 800 from the $19,OOO in the Senate bill, passed 19 to 18.
 Then after a recess, Curtis, who had voted for the raise, moved for reconsideration, setting the stage for another roll call today.
 By narrow. votes, proposals to lower the pay approved by the Senate for supreme court justices by $1,00O were rejected.

WASHINGTON, R - Pioneer " streaked close to the level of the moon today in Americas most successful probe into the myster- ies of the farther reaches of space.
 The tracking station at Gold stone Dry Lake in the Mojave Desert re-established radio con- tact and reported the gold-plated cone 192,000 miles out, with it's speed down to 4,775 miles an hour
 Later, new contacts showed a distance of 198,323 miles and speed of 4,742 miles an hour.
 The probe was still on it's near miss course past the moon toward a predicted orbit around the sun where the Soviet Union claims it already has a satellite.
 Revised calculations indicated the space traveller would make its closest approach to the moon at 5:24 p.m., or about 37,000 miles away. Scientists gave themselves a plus or-minus allowance of

Legislature Asked To Back Fairbanks Airport Expansion Program

JUNEAU, R-Alaska state par ticipation, to the extent of IA million dollars, in lengthening the International Airport landing fa- cilities at Fairbanks, was asked of the Legislature yesterday.
 A resolution sponsored by Dem ocratic Sen. McNealy, Fairbanks, said the airport should be pre- pared for the coming of jet air transportation to Alaska. It should be able to handle the larg- est military and civilian airplanes, he said
 It is anticipated, McNealy said, that Congress will provide 101s million dollars for airport con- struction in the new state this next fiscal year. Part of this, he said, should be allocated to the Fairbanks field to make it an all ternate field for all types of air craft.

 In a letter to the Senate presi- dent and speaker of the House, he said his main objection was to the proposal to combine the pres ent Departments of Labor and Elm ployment Security with Com merce and related activities.
 Labor will undoubtedly be the greatest loser in this telescoping of the three departments into one," he said.
 Separation of those activities in to three departments had been the expressed viewpoint and desire of Governor Egan," he added.
 Sen. Lester Bronson phoned from Juneau this morning advis- ing that the judiciary bill, which had already passed the Senate, and which provides for a court at Nome, passed the House un- animously, 40 to o.
 It is also reported that this bill, as amended, leaves the Sec ond Division court district about the same as it is at present.

''59ers," Kenai Homestead Pioneers,
 Set Out on Long Trek from Michigan

DETROIT, R - Twenty fam flies who call themselves "The 59ers" will set out at dawn to- morrow in a motor caravan to pioneer new homes in the 49th State - Alaska.
 The men, who have grown boards to dramatize their deter imitation to make good as home steaders, planned to finish pack ing trucks and trailers today with a years food supply. They've heard prices are sky high in Alas ka and a hamburger sells for $1.85 along the route.
 The modern-day pioneers vowed they won't shave until they've cleared at least 20 acres of the 16O acres of land each family is stalking out on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula.
 A dozen children, from one to 14 years old, will accompany their parents.
 The caravan will include family cars and trailers, several bor- rowed station wagons and small trucks, and a moving van.
 Ronald Jacobowitz, a leader of the expedition, said the 1886 van is a gift from the Allied Moving Co. It has a 1946 engine. The vans top speed is 45 m.p.h., and that will set the pace of the motorcade

U. s. Space Probe Passing Close To Moon In Flight Toward Solar Orbit

2,OOO miles on the distance compu- tation.
 At that time the Pioneer should be 239,000 miles from earth. That is more than the distance to the moon itself because of the slight error in flight angle which will carry the Pioneer farther to one side of the moon than the scien- lists at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration had hoped. They had aimed at some thing inside of 10000 miles.
 Pioneer ", whose gold plate provides an antenna to relay ra- dio instrumentation back to earth, is 20 inches long and weighs 13 pounds.
 Powered by a four-stage Juno II rocket, the probe was hurtled aloft from Cape Canaveral, Fla, 1912 minutes after midnight, Mon- day, in a launching described "as near perfect as could be deter mined"

Council Ponders Paying for Planned Front St. Paving

The Nome City Council met in special session yesterday to de- termine how the city can pay it's share of the paving of Front Street next summer on such short notice.
 Frank Metcalf, Highway Com missioner, notified the city last week that Nome would have to pay 10 per cent of the paving cost within city limits. This was the first notification that the city had received officially that they were obligated.
 Due to the fact that they were not notified earlier, and funds were not allocated for this work during the present council year. The council has proposed that they would meet 50 per cent of the es- timated cost to the city, or $6,650 on July 31, 1859.
 The balance of the required 10 per cent of the actual cost of the project is planned for payment on July 31, 1860.
 Contracts are to be let very soon, and a decision had to be made immediately if the paving is to be done this year.

Futile To Stand Mobilized, Says U. 5. President

WASHINGTON, LR - President Eisenhower said today it would not only be futile but disastrous for the free world to have gen. eral mobilization against possible attack.
 Eisenhower told his news con- ference that the present 15-min- ute alert maintained by the Stra- tegic Air Command is completely appropriate for world conditions
 The President was asked if he believes the strategic bombing force should be put on an air alert with part of its planes air borne at all times.
 He replied airbirne bombers would be worse than useless against bombing attacks - that they are better off on the ground. But he said the day probably will come when it will be necessary to have some planes airborne at all times to counter possible mis- sile attacks.
 Eisenhower also was asked if he believes mobilization of NATO forces should be one of the steps to be taken to insure maintaining the Western worlds access to Berlin.
 He replied that general mobili- zation would mean that each na- ton in the free world would be- come a garrison state. Such mobil ization would mean keeping each nation on a basis of readiness all the time. This, he said, would drain civilian resources.
 It not only would be futile, but the most disastrous thing we could do.
 A reporter asked the President if there was any change in the tradition that the United States never strikes the first blow in warfare.
 Replying in the negative, the President said, however, that the matter of self-preservation comes into this picture. He said that if we know we are under the threat of attack from missiles or planes coming in our direction we will act as quickly as is humanly possible.

Eisenhower Optimistic In Light Of Soviet Note, Agreeing To Conference By MARVIN L, ARROWSMITH

WASHINGTON, LR - President Eisenhower said today Russia $ latest note on Germany indicates a lessening of rigidity of the So- viet position.
 The President told news con- ference the U. s. government is taking as optimistic a view as pos sible Of the outlook in the light of the Soviet note.
 In that note, delivered to the Western Allies earlier this week, Russia reluctantly agreed to a foreign ministers conference on the Berlin problem. But the Krem- lin specified its own terms regard ing what is to be included in the discussions.
 Eisenhower said, as he has be- fore, that this country always is willing to negotiate when there is evidence the other side is ready to bargain in good faith.
 As for Soviet propaganda, Els enhower cautioned Americans against being taken in whenever the Krernlin cries wolf. We must not allow ourselves to get fright ened when the Russian leaders make propaganda threats, he added.

Washington State Families Begin Kenai Migration

SNOHOMISH, Wash, R - Two families planning to homestead in Alaska began a 2,900-mile trip to the Kenai Peninsula today in two trucks that carried four adults, II children and assorted livestock and equipment.
 The families of MT. and Mrs. Edmund Meyer and MT. and Mrs. LeRoy H. Mcdonald expect to reach Kenai in about 12 days.

 Meyer and Mcdonald, 34, a truck driver, went to Alaska last fall and each filed on 160 acres near the town of Kenai
 We think that two families go- ing together like we are and help ing each other will make it much easier," said Mcdonald. "We'll share expenses and we'll share the work"

hence the spray need only be

BY w. II. YOUNGMAN
star Garden Editor

For many years the experts
have been advising the feeding
OF the lawn In the spring
(March) and in the fall (Sep-
tember) in order to maintain
vigorous growth. A few have
advocated a midsummer feed
ing to insure continuous growth,
All have agreed that 1t is es-
sential to feed the lawns If they
are to compete with the crab
grass and weeds as a well-fed
lawn is the best defense against
weeds. However, every now and
then someone comes up with
o new idea on the feeding Of
the lawn.
Last spring the Virginia
Polytechnic Institute suggested
that once the right degree of
soil alkalinity was reached
through lining and an ade-
quate supply Of phosphate and
potash made available, the
cheapest means Of feeding was
to supply nitrogen in the form
Of urea. They indicated that
about 8 pounds of urea per
900 square feet was adequate
for a bluegrass lawn for the
entire season and that it
should be spread, half in the
spring and half in the fall.
The Fall-Only Theory
More recently, DR.. Felix
Juska, in charge of the turf
grass work at the Department
Of Agriculture station at Belts
vile, has come up with a diff
ferent thought. He is con-
vinced that the heavy spring
feeding has much to do with
the increase in disease prob
lens Of our lawn grasses.
He thinks it advisable to
conflne the feeding Of the
lawn to the fall on the theory
that the plants will make Wig
orous growth and store up
enough energy to carry them
through the spring.
He recommends a rather
heavy feeding program for the
fall and also suggests we keep
the lawnmower bar at IL to 2
inches for all bluegrass and fes-
cue lawns.
Undoubtedly this will be
something Of a shock to those
who have followed the earlier
school of lawn management. On
the other hand the increase in
disease problems has many
wondering just how they can
afford to keep a lawn in good
condition. Regardless Of the re-
action to this change in ones
thinking 1t does point to the i'm
portance of a good lawn feed
ing at this season.
Choice of Materials
The choice Of materials and
method Of feeding may not be
too important as long as the
grass receives sufficient plant
food for good growth. The gar
dener may leave this up to the
companies which provide liquid
fertilizing service; he may or
der one of the nitrogen ferti-
lizerS, such as the urea men,
toned above. or he may select
a urea-form fertilizer, the con-
ventional mixture which may or
may not contain the slow-act-
ing, non-burning forms Of nj
trogen. OF these four or five
different ways Of feeding the
lawn. each has its special val
ues. The first assures plant food
service. The liquid feeding serv-
ice is a great convenience to
the home owner who lacks fer
tilizer equipment and who does
not understand the details of
feeding a lawn.
The nitrogen feeding, such as
that recommended by one of
the nearby stations, is econom-
ical and effective. Urea is a po-
