Air Force Will Make Attempt to Pluck Nose Cone of Discoverer V in Descent

ism. On the next pass, the satel- lite, repositioned by compressed gas jets, will tilt 6O'degrees down ward
 At the designated moment, ex- plosive springs and bolts will sep arate the capsule from it's vehicle, the 1,7OO-pound, automobile-size second stage of the rocket which bore it into space. The vehicle is expected to continue orbiting for about 10 days.
 The capsule will be slowed down by a retro-rocket. A switch operated by forces of deceleration will release a parachute
 Guided by radio signals from the descending capsule, the flying boxcars will move in to try to grab the parachute with trapeze apara- tus suspended from the planes.
 They have about 10 minutes to make a catch.
 If they fail, the Military Sea Transportation Service ships Ha- waii Victory and Dalton Victory will attempt to pluck the capsule from the sea.
 Scientists want to probe it's in struments for information which can be used in the forthcoming Project Mercury, intended to send man into space and bring him back.

What If Japan had Won wv. III -- :?

TOKYO, LR nm Fourteen years ago Saturday World War II ended with the surrender of Japan. What would have happened to America if Japan had won?
 The United States reduced to it's original states?
 Alaska returned to the Soviet Union?
 California taken over by Japan?
 Execution of American war leaders?
 These and other possibilities were explored in the Japanese magazine Shukan Bunshun this week in what it said was a re- print of an article that originally appeared in the magazine Senden three months before the fighting ended in 1945. Shukan Bunshun, one of Japan's most popular pub ications with a circulation of 6O0,- 900, called the article foolish WILLIE.
 The author of the 1945 article, whose identity was not disclosed, had titled his article, "A proposal for the punishment of America" :" It was written shortly after the death of President Roosevelt and during the great B-29 fire bomb raids on Japanese cities.
 There isn't one among us who doesn't long for the day when Japanese planes too will be bomb ing the American mainland" the article said.
 Japan should bring America to it's knees and then impose nu- merous reforms, it continued, and predicted: 'U. s. presidents will not be allowed to remain in office more than two consecutive terms. Those like Roosevelt, who was elected four times, should be pun ished. But since Roosevelt is dead, his family will be punished instead.
 America will compensate for damage inflicted on Japan :. iron, oil, flour, shrimp :. lumber for homes in Tokyo to be rebuilt" :"

Stiff Curbs on Labor Passed In House Action

WASHINGTON, LB - The House today passed and sent to the Sen ate a bill to curb racketeering and abuses in labor management relations.
 The vote stamping House ap- proval on the controversial bill was 303-125.
 The House action capped a ma jor legislative victory for Presi- dent Eisenhower, who made a personal appeal to the nation for strong. labor controls legislation.
 The House vote on passage sWamped northern and eastern Democrats who had backed less stringent labor curbs than the President asked.
 The House-passed bill now goes back to the Senate for compro- mise with the differing version passed there last April.

Salmon Pack Equals Three-Fifths of 1858

JUNEAU, (R m The canned salmon pack for Alaska this year was running at roughly three fifths of the 1858 total as of Aug ust g. 1,427,O1O cases were packed up to the end of last week, com pared with 2,517,648 at the same time last year.
 Again the Western Alaska pack at 456,966 cases was the only one that exceeded the 1858 total, being up approximately 36,OOO cases.
 Only in Western Alaska, too, did this years red pack exceed that of the parent cycle, but the Southeastern Alaska pink pack was alone in topping the parent cycle of that species, according to figures released by the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Miss Universe Returns
 Home; Challenges Very Rude Doctor for Proof

TOKYO, Rt-Miss Universe re- turned to her native Japan today on the tail of a typhoon and in the midst of another storm about her bust.
 "Very rude," snapped Akiko Kijima in denying report of a Tokyo surgeon that he had in jected her with a cupful of plastic to enlarge her bust and help her to a 37-23-38 figure.
 "I would like to confront that doctor in front of everyone in this room," declared the 22-year- old fashion model.

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif., tR - A fantastic game of catch will be played thousands of feet above the Pa cific today if all goes well with satellite Discoverer V.
 The object: To snare the satel- lite's ejected 3OO-pound nose capsule.
 The purpose: To test the pro- ject's intricate electronic system, which someday may help propel man through space. An aerial catch also allows the least pos sibility of damage to the cap sule's contents.
 Discoverer V blasted off it's launching pad at noon Thursday. It is circling the earth every 94 minutes, sending back loud, clear signals.
 Eight C-119 Flying Boxcars are poised on Hawaii for the attempt to catch the instrument-packed capsule as it floats down under a parachute near the islands. One Chance In Thousand
 The Air Force says the chance of success is about one in 1000.
 Here is how it proposes to snatch the capsule out of the air:
 As Discoverer V makes it's 18th pass, a tracking station in Alaska will trigger the election mechan-

New Highway g Section Soon to be Up for Bid

Bids will be advertised soon for the construction of the Kuzitrin- Coffee Creek portion of Highway 97, according to Joe Kroninger, chairman of the NW.A Chamber of Commerce Road Committee. Kroninger said he received this information Thursday from Wm. Meme, regional engineer for the Bureau of Public Roads.
 This project was delayed be- cause a field review made in June disclosed that the location of mat erial sites previously selected had to be changed.
 MT. Meme said that the Penny River to-Sinuk portion of the Nome-Teller road would not be advertised this year as the route surveyed in 1857 does not meet with his approval and he has re- commended that a new route be selected An aerial survey will be made this fall to select the route to be used.
 MT. Meme also revealed that under statehood, the final selec- ton of programs is made by the Alaska Department of P u ub l i c Works
 The. funds to be used for the Kuzitrin-Coffee Creek construc- tion are from moneys allocated previous to appropriations for ifs cal 1860. All 1860 funds have been frozen by the State to be used for maintenance and reconstruc- ton only.

Area Defenders
 Learned Valuable Lessons in Exercise

The tactical military exercise 7 which has been underway all week in the foothills, was com pleted early this morning, and, according to those in charge, was a highly successful training mis- sion.
 The "Warfare" extended about IS miles into the hills and to Nome River on the east, with fox holes throughout the area, which it is reported, were calmly ac- cepted by the berry pickers camp ing in the area.
 Both aggressors and defenders in the mission were from the 1st Battle Group of the 9th ManchW Infantry. This group gets it's name for it's early work in China during the Boxer Rebellion, and is now stationed at Eielson AFB, where it is getting considerable exper- fence in northern Alaska terrain, both winter and summer.
 Col D. J. Richardson, com mander of the 1st Battle group of the 9th Infantry, was in charge of the operation here, and was assisted by Major Blakeley, USAF Mission commander.
 Commander of A Company was It. Albert Smith, while 1st It. Clore, with a small force from the 1st platoon of B Company repre- sented a larger force spread out in the hills.
 Maj. Sheldon Mendelson, oper- ations officer and spokesman, said the First Scout Battalion, Alaska National Guard, headed by Capt. James O'Rourke, made a valuable contribution to the training mis- sion, as well as to the joint operation.
 He said "ThiS exercise was high ly successful, and a valuable con- tribution to prepare the battle group for it's mission in Alaska. Soldiers are happiest when on a project such as this, and all were pleased with the terrain, which was ideal for the purpose"
 The soldiers and their officers will return to their Eielson base starting early tomorrow morning.
 This evening King Island Es- kimos plan special dance in their honor. using some of the dances not generally performed for the public.
 This afternoon two new ve- hicles were on display on Front Street. They were the M-59, ar mored personnel carrier, and the M-76, the Otter"
 Heard on the street, about the Otter, Boy, what a rig to go fishing in!'
 High praise was expressed for the fine work of Capt: L. Flana- gan and his staff of the U. s. Army Advisory Group in coor- dinating the venture.

NEWS OF MUSIC
Horo Novissimo'
ThriIIingIy Done

this is exactly Mr.. Frager'i
forte.
If the Bach G minor Toccats
was romantic and noble, the
Haydn was the sheerest delight
looking backward to the SEN
timent of a C. P. E. Bach and
forward to the strength of a
Beethoven. And the Chopin
was played with a wonderful
sense of pacing, as if newly
born in the heart and mind
of the player. Mr.. Ffager is
one Of the rare instrumentalists
who combines, in individual
fashion, heart and head.
Only in the Chopin Fantaisie
did he hint at the awe-inspir-
ing power in his fingers, a
power which he projected with
positively frightening virtuoSity
in a performance of the Proko-
fieff A major Sonata which
defleS mere words. It has to
be heard in order to be believed.
The effect was compounded

Evening star., 1959-12-11

If you were at Howard Uni
versity last night, you heard a
great artist at work-and you
know it.
For the marvellous gift of
young Malcolm Frager, who
was heard there in an extraor-
dinary recital, is so plahl that
it takes you by the shoulders
and shakes you. The mark of
genius is on this lad.
This was the sort of concert
which leaves a poor music re-
viewer'at a loss for adjectives.
On paper, the program did
not look especially exciting
sonatas by Haydn and Proko-
f1eff, some customary Chopin
and a good Bach piece. In
practice, it was nothing less
than sensational.
During the entire first half
of the affair, Mr.. Frager un-
derplayed his towering vir-
tuosity. establishing beyond
the shadow of doubt his trans
cendental musicianship. Who
nowadays features a Haydn
sonata and moreover this neg
lected gem in E fiat? In order
to play it, one must understand
music from the inside out, and
