Profitable Future Seen for Eklutna HydrOelectric

WASHINGTON, R - Alaska's lone hydoelectric project, the cost of which exceeded estimates, now appears to have a profitable future, Senator Bartlett said yes terday.
 Bartlett said the Eklutna project near Anchorage is expected to pay back the federal investment, with interest in A. years and earn a surplus by the time the 50- year planned repayment period is up.
 The project cost 30 million dol lars, 10 million more than origi- nally estimated, but results of the first three fiscal years of actual operation show Uncle Sam made a very sound investment, Bartlett said.
 Figures given Bartlett by the Bureau of Reclamation's power division showed that after 50 years the Eklutna project should earn a surplus of more than eight million dollars.

Interior Department Is Strong Opponent of Bill Doubling Oil-Gas Holdings

WASHINGTON, LR - Secre- tary of the Interior Fred A. Sea ton yesterday repeated the Inter for Department opposition to legis- lation to iberalize acreage lini- tations on oil and gas leases in Alaska.
 Before the President is a bill that would raise the limit on oil and gas leasing in Alaska from the present 100000 to 6OO,0OO acres.
 Seaton declined to say at a news conference whether he would recommend that the Pres ident veto the bill, sponsored by Alaska's Congressional delega- ton.
 Seaton said that, among other things, the measure would allow huge concentrations of lease holdings and that the inevitable result of such concentration would be a deterrent to explora- tion and development of oil and gas"

US. Puts Fourth Explorer Satellite Into Earth Orbit

WASHINGTON, LR - Explorer VI satellite is in orbit and will remain aloft for more than a year, the Space Administration announced this afternoon.
 The 142-pound "Paddlewheel' satellite was launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla, at 9:23 am. It will reach a peak altitude of 23,0GO miles at 3 pm, directly over South Africa, the National Aero nautics and Space Adiminstra ton announced.
 It will reach it's low point 140 miles above the earth at 8:30 o'clock tonight.
 The space agency had not cal culated the point over the earth which the satellite will reach at that hour.
 The satellite will take about II hours to complete each of it's elon- gated orbits. That is very close lO
 The satellite had been aimed to climb to 23,OOO miles and come back as close to ,earth as 16O miles.
 A spokesman for NASA said the small kick rocket attached tc the satellite, to provide added speed is necessary at the perigee or low point of the orbit, has not yet been fired.
 The new space traveller con- tained a flying laboratory to in vestigate many mysteries of space It was hurled aloft by a Thor Able rocket.
 Fifteen major experiment de vices were crammed into the spheroid-shaped satellite which is 26 inches in diameter and 2e inches long. Its main mission was to study the radiation belts that surround the earth. Knowledge of it's potentially deadly radiation is key to manned space travel
 The satellite was called a pad dlewheel because of four solar vanes designed to pop out from it's sides.
 These paddles were designed tc convert the suns rays into cleo trical energy to power radio trans hitter batteries. If successful flu ture deep space probe rockets will employ this device to send information back from millions of miles in space.

escape which would soon be
torn into shreds by rulings of
our appellate courts on review"
The Judge said. however. that
the factual situation in this
case is practically identical
with that Of the Orlean Parish
School Board case in which the
United States district court in
New Orleans. La. enjoined
school authorities from operat-
ing segregated schools.
That decision directed school
officials to proceed with inte-
grafton with all deliberate
speed" 1t allowed sufficient
time to make arrangements for
admission of children on a
racially discriminatory ba-
sis, Judge Hooper said.
THE tentative ruling here
made does not mean that this
court in this case will order
immediate indignation of the
Atlanta public schols to the
end that Atlanta's public
schools must be integrated or
else closed by September, 1859"
he added.
This indicates the judge
would follow the Orleans Par
ish ruling in allowing officials
sufficient time to plan for in
tegration.
Even though the Atlanta
Schol Board. defendant in the
case, might have several
months or even a year to set
up integrated schools. the
board could never operate
them on that basis. Under
State law, schools ordered in
tegrated lose their State APP
preparations. Moreover, the
Governor can order closed any
school when he deems 1t neces-
sary to preserve peace and good
order.
