SOVIET MOON SHOT ENHANCES KHRUSHCHEV PRESTIGE ON EVE OF HIS VISIT WITH EISENHOWER

There was no immediate reac- tion from President Eisenhower.
 But Saturday, after the Soviets announced the launching of their newest moon rocket, White House Press Secretary James C. flag erty said: 1t has been known for some time that both the Soviets and the United States have the capability for such shots, and this comes as no surprise"
 The Russians were clearly de- lighted about the success of this effort in the enhancement of So- viet prestige as Khrushchev pre- pared to start his exchange of visits with President Eisenhower
 Alexander Topchiev, vice presi- dent of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences said the moon shot pro- vided a vast amount of informa- tion that is now being processed- Preliminary reports indicated that all scientific instruments in the rocket functioned normally up to the moment of impact, he said. 236,l60 Miles Tn 35 Hours
 The Soviets did not disclose the exact time or site of the rocket launching, but newsmen esti- mated that it took off sometime early Saturday. They reckoned the capsule scared 236,160 miles to the moon in about 35 hours.
 The rocket carried pennants bearing the Soviet hammer and sickle emblem and an inscription 'fUnion of Soviet Socialist Repub- lies September 1959."
 Tass said special measures had been taken to make sure the pen nants bearing the emblem re- mained intact despite the terrific impact of the moon landing.
 The dramatic shot, sure to give Khrushchev's visit a sharp pres tige boost, marked the first time man has lobbed a missile thru space to hit celestial target.

Internal Labor Regulating Bill Becomes Law

WASHINGTON, R- President Eisenhower today signed into law the bill regulating internal af- fairs of labor unions and limiting their boycott and picketing ac- tiVitieS.
 The measure, a landmark of the 1859 session of Congress, repre- sents one of Eisenhower's most important legislative triumphs. It contains Taft-Hartley law amend ments he insisted were essential to any effective bill.
 The new law is designed to curb racketeering and other abuses in some unions spotlighted in congressional investigations.
 The law also puts new restric- tions on organizational picketing by unions and on secondary boy colts.
 A secondary boycott is one di- rected at an employer with whom the union has no direct quarrel.
 The AFL-CIO contends these Taft-Hartley changes will weaken labor's legitimate economic pow CTS. Employers argue that the boycott and picketing weapons were abused by the Teamsters and some other unions. The mea- sure was strongly opposed by or ganized labor in it's final form.
 The act contains the most far rewriting of the nations labor management relations law since the Taft-Hartley law was passed in 1947
 Eisenhower signed the bill with out any special ceremony. But two hours after the signing, Reps Robert Griffin R-Mich) and Phil Landrum D-Ga authors of the late-session bill, called on Eisen- hover at the White House to ex- press their thanks.
 The original bill was intro duced by Sen. John F. Kennedy O-Mass).

THE OUTLOOK FOR ALASKAN OIL

the petroleum wealth so far-has slacked off. Lease offers still being processed are comparatively few.
 Oil production and revenue fig ures obtained from the State De- partment of Natural Resources, from the 1857 discovery date to the end of August show:
 Alaska oil production h s amounted to 1O7,000 barrels, worth $335,OOO at the Bureau of Mines rate of $3.13 a barrel.
 The state received 90 per cent of the 5 per cent royalty, amount ing to about $15,O00. A one per cent state severance tax, applied after payment of royalties, has amounted to $3,200
 The production revenue comes mainly from the first two or three wells on the Kenai Peninsula. It does include,s however, a small amount from the third well which began production recently.
 President T.S. Petersen of Stan dard Oil of California, reported at Fairbanks two weeks ago that present production totals about $50 barrels day from the three wells.
 Mineral leasing is where oil, or the prospect of it, has paid off in Alaska thus far.

 Two juveniles have already been apprehended, confessed and petitions have been filed on them.

and gas lease receipts on rentals and bonuses from July l, 1857, through July 31 this year, have amounted to approximately $6,- 818,000.
 A little more than 3212 million acres of land in Alaska is under lease at the present time.
 The lease receipts largely have been based on the old rental rate of 25 cents an acre nm although some revenues have been received at the new 50-cents-an-acre rate.
 The ELM collects the rentals on federal lands, and refunds 90 per cent of the receipts to the state twice a year. The royalty payments-at per cent for the first 10 years and 1912 per cent thereafter-are made through the Geological Surveyat Los Angeles.
 Future royalties, of course, will depend on how much oil is pump ed from Alaska's wells.
 Future oil and gas lease reve- nues depend on a number of fac tors, including how much addi- tional land is claimed for possible exploration and how many of the existing leases are continued when the time comes for them to be renewed.
 Lease Applications Decline
 At Fairbanks, applications still are outstanding for 282,74O acres.

Reds Accuse India Of Sending Troops Into Chinese Area

TOKYO, LR - Red China ac- cused India Sunday of sending troops into an area which even Indian maps show as Chinese.
 Radio Peiping said Foreign Min ister and Deputy Premier Chen Vi made the charges before the closing session of the Standing Committee of the National Peo- ple's Congress.
 Chen said India was using two faced tactics" in her border dis pute with China. He rejected an Indian proposal that Red troops withdraw from Longju, a dis puted border post on the Tibetan frontier, but added that China was willing to discuss Longju.
 The outpost was overrun by Red Chinese troops Aug. 26 after a skirmish with an Indian border patrol. In a note to Peiping last Thursday, the Indian government proposed that Longju be made a temporary no-man's land while it's status is discussed
 But Chen said the post is de- finitely north even of the Mac Mahon Line, which India claims as the dividing line between northeast India and Tibet.

CARPENTERS RETURN TO WORK

The first raise of 30 cents an hour will be retroactive to last March IS. In 1860, the carpen- ters will receive a 25-cent-an- hour boost and in 1861 another increase of B cents an hour
 The contract would raise the journeyman rate from the pres ent $425 an hour to $5.03 an hour in 1861.
 Under the new contract, travel pay provisions will be subject to arbitration, to become effective March 15, 1861. All other terms are the same as those of a pre- vious agreement negotiated and rejected in July.
 Sundays balloting was the 4th time this year the carpenters had acted on a new agreement with the ACC. The last proposal, three weeks ago, was rejected by the union by a 32-vote margin.
 A strong favorable vote from Anchorage put the agreement over despite opposition from Fair banks.

ANCHORAGE

ANCHORAGE, The 78-day- old strike of Alaska carpenters has ended.
 Members of the union through out the state voted yesterday to accept a new three-year contract with the Associated General Con- tractors
 Unofficial returns from nine of 13 locals assured ratification of the new agreement.
 With only votes from four small locals still untabulated, the new contract had been approved by vote of 337 to 257.
 Carpenters have been on strike since June 27. Acceptance of the new contract will send about 1000 carpenters back to work starting today.
 In addition, another 2,000 mem bers of other craft unions af- fected by the carpenters strike also will go back on jobs.
 The new contract calls for wage increases amounting to 78 cents an hour, spread over three-year period.

By STANLEY JOHNSON

MOSCOW, LR Premier Nikita Khrushchev is flying to Washing ton Tuesday amid worldwide ac- claim for the Soviet feat of land ing a rocket on the moon.
 Congratulations streamed in to- day from the six continents for this development in the conquest of space.
 American scientists were among the first to hail the handling of the 860-pound lunar probe as remarkable job of scientific reck- oning and craftsmanship.
 The official reaction of the US. National Aeronautics and Space Administration was summed up in Washington by it's deputy ad- ministrator, pr. Hugh Dryden.
 We hope that the scien- tific data obtained in this flight will soon be available for study by the scientists of all countries"
 The Soviet news agency Tass picked up British story quoting Heinz Kaminsky, director of the Bochum Observatory in the Ruhr, as saying the feat could be com pared to a rifleman hitting the eye of a fly at distance of six miles.
 Raises Dust Cloud on Moon
 Radio Budapest said Hungarian scientists spotted a dust cloud raised on the moon when the rocket landed at 1902 am. A black ring was visible for more than an hour after the probes radio signals stopped on impact, it said, and the scientists ex- pressed belief this outlined new crater into the sand and rock of the moons uSrface.
 A leading Soviet astronomer said today the next step in the preparation for landing people on the moon is to set up robot ob- servatory there.
