Bartlett Charges Alaska Has Only Paper Defense

FAIRBANKS, R-Alaska has a paper defense that threatens the security of the entire nation, Sen. Bob Bartlett charged Friday.
 q am going to find out what has happened to those back in the Pentagon charged with pro- viding defense not only for Al aska but for the entire nation" !" Bartlett said.
 The senator, straying from his prepared talk before the Assn. of Local Transport Airlines, refer red several times to a speech made Wednesday in Anchorage by It. Gen. Frank A. Armstrong, commander of Alaskan military forces.
 Gen. Armstrong charged that two enemy lbombers could i'm mobilize Alaska's defenses and lead the way to destruction of West Coast cities.
 Tt was shocking to learn that Alaska has what amounts to no defense at all after we have spent millions of dollars maintaining what we believed to be a reason ably adequate defense," Bartlett said.
 T intend to return to Con- gress and bring the attention of the entire nation to this alarming situation from the floor of the United States Senate"

By WILLIAM A. TOBIN

JUNEAU, tR - A single smoke flare, saved for use at just the right moment, brought rescue yes terday to two men marooned seven nights and days high on the barren face of an Alaska glacier.
 The flare was sighted by a heli- copter pilot participating in a Week-old sea and air search over the mountains and through the valleys and inlets of rugged Gla- cier Bay National Monument.
 Although the two were saved, the body of a third man remained with the wreckage of a helicopter in which they crashed last Sun day at the 5,800-foot level on Gil- man Glacier.
 Dead was Robert Baldwin of Ridgefield, Conn, a geophysicist for the Newmcnt Exploration Co.,, of New York City. He was fatally injured in the crash.
 Bearded and weary, bruised but otherwise not seriously hurt, were Robert Sheldon and Melvin Guer- rera. They survived through chill ing temperatures and heavy rain with the aid of sleeping bag and emergency food rationS.
 Wanted Baths
 "The first thing they wanted were baths," said Dr. Joseph O.. Rude of Juneau, who treated the men after their arrival at Ju- neau's St. Ann's Hospital.
 There's no ing seriously wrong," he said. Nothing a few days rest and good food won't fix"
 Sheldon, a Newmint geologist from Spokane, was working with Baldwin at an oil exploration camp at Brady Glacier in the Ma tional Monument area. Guerrero. 28, formerly of Reno, is a pilot for Petroleum Helicopters of Laf- ayette, La, working on a charter for the NeWmont firm.
 Adverse winds on the flight over the glacier a week ago Sun day apparently led to the hei- copter crash, the U. s. Coast Guard rescue center here said.
 Dr. Rude quoted the survivors as saying the 'copter "slid down the ice and turned over"

Eisenhower and khrushchey will Swap Autumn Visits for Informal Confabs

the meeting with reporters devel- oped also:
 l. Before meeting with Khrush-- chev here, Eisenhower will go to Europe later this month to con- fer with British Prime Minister MacMillan, French President De Gaulle and West Germany's Chan cellor Adenauer.
 2. Exchanges on the question of Khrushchev - Eisenhower visits have been going on for some time; they were initiated well before Vice President Nixon went to the Soviet Union.
 Eisenhower said he told Nixon on the day the Vice President left that negitiations in written form were in progress looking toward an exchange of visits be- tween Khrushchev and himself.
 Eisenhower said he told Nixon not to open the subject of the exchange visits, but that there was no prohibition in him dis cussing the matter once the sub ject was opened up.
 In telling of his plans to go to Europe to confer with the heads of state of Great Britain, France and West Germany, Eisenhower said coordination between the all lied powers has been good
 As to whether all this may lead to a summit conference of East and West, Eisenhower said such a conference was absolutely i'm practical unless there were ad- vance indications of positive re- suits.
 But with the prospective col lapse of the Geneva foreign min isters conference, it was obvious that there was opening up now a new, higher level of exchanges which the Western Allies hope may bring some alteration in So- viet positions on the great issues between the East and West.
 First reaction in Congress to the forthcoming Eisenhower-Khrush- chev visits was favorable, though not unanimously so.
 Senator Dirksen of Illinois, Re publican leader, said the talks if successful could "enshrine the President as the boldest and most determined peacemaker in many generations.
 But Senator Caphart R-InO protested that it looks like we're again being taken in by the Russians"
 Khrushchev is expected to visit Washington for two or three days to engage in, as the announce ment put it. informal talks with the President.
 Plans are for the Soviet leader to put in another 10 days or so in travel about the United States.
 The hope obviously is that these travels may change some of Khrushchev's ideas about the strength and character of this country and it's people.
 Khrushchev has been throwing out hints for months that he was ready and willing to accept an invitation to visit the United States.
 Until today, the public White House reaction has been cautious
 Obviously educated speculation that Nixon would recommend an invitation began to appear in dis patches by accompanying news men soon after Nixon reached Moscow.
 Eisenhower told his news con- ference that he initiated formal discussions early in July leading

as other dairymen farther down-county.
He made is clear that while the pro-
portions of assessments are about Identical
with those in Montgomery County, the
tax rate is significantly lower in Fred
erick County, The overall tax rate in
Montgomery County is $2.48 while in
Frederick County, the rate is $1.70.
The rates are even lower in the states
Eastern Shore counties. Those rates and
other factors were responsible for Edmund
and George Fry leaving Montgomery
County for Cecil County. Another brother,
Fred Fry, has moved to Frederick County.
AS an instance of the wide disparity
between taxes in Montgomery County and
elsewhere, King said that that 1908 acres
he is considering in West Virginia. And
that is wonderful farm acreage" he said
is taxed at less than $780, That is $38
more than his daughter, Mrs. James
Jacobs, pays on her home in Gaithersburg,
King said.
It's the same tax story with Allie
Messer. He said his taxes have more than
tripled since he started dairy farming 20
years ago.
He called for a realistic tax assess
ment that would take into account farms
productive value rather than its market
sale value.
He said that if spectators bent on
subdividing large tracts of farm land con-
tinue to buy in Montgomery County, they
will create kind of no-man's land. The
held acreage, he said, will be too expensive
to farm and too expensive to build on.
He said the steady outward progress
from Washington should be stopped Good
farms close to Washington are credit to
the city, he said, while fallow land is a
detriment.
Although Messer has purchased a
farm in Urbana, right across the Fred
erick Montgomery County line, he will
have to continue to operate his Montgom
cry County farm for another four years
according to a contract He expects to
leave for his new farm no later than next
April and he will take his prize herd with
him. ?

contained in the 1854 Census of Agricul-
ture compiled by the U. S. Department of
Commerce.
The survey showed that there were
$50 farms reporting in 1949 but only 294
in 1854. Mobley estimates that there are
about 260 dairy farms in the county today.
There were 784 milk cows on farms
that reported in 1854 while there were 988
four years earlier, the census showed.
recent decision by the Howard
County Circuit Court also has the dairy
farmers of Montgomery County and
Maryland, holding their breaths.
The court ruled that Maryland's
farm tax bill" that gives tax break to
ton, actually was "class legislation" and
was unconstitutional. The decision will be
appealed.
Should the Howard County court rul-
ing be upheld, all farmers, including dairy
men, will have to pay substantially higher
"Dairymen are paying as much in taxes
now as they can possibly afford. They
are against the wall"
King, former director of the Second
Farm Credit District of the Farm Credit
Association said many Montgomery Coun-
ty dairy farmers "have about borrowed
their limit" and some aren't paying their
bills. ITS all many of them can do to
] just get along" he said.
He also said that while wage earners
have counted pay increases, farmers have
suffered losses in income. Farm labor
costs have risen while the labor supply has
fallen off, he added.
Dairy farmers in Montgomery Coun-
tv are drawn to the lower tax rates in
other counties. William D. Pyles, of Sell
: nan, said that while Frederick County
may assess taxes on COW barn at SIS,
that same barn across the line in Mont
gonery County may be taxed $500.
Pyles has farrned 300 acres for the
past 20 years and because he is far up

viders are rife, he is not as hard pressed

Council Asks
Reese for
Housing Code

A housing code that would set
standards OF health, safety
nd welfare for Montgomery
spunty homes has been ordered
by The County Council.
The admittedly long and con-
troversial task was turned over
to County Manager Melvin L.
Reese who said at least a year
and many public hearings would
be required before the code
would approach workability.
Basic goal will be to deter.
mine a buildings potential &C.
cupancy under existing health,
police and fire codes. Apart.
ments as well as houses will
come under scrutiny, Reese said.
A completed housing code will
goa long way toward establish,
