Star Stan Writer

Senator Humphrey, Demo-
crat of Minnesota, proposed to-
day that the United States
launch a grand design for
peace-a seven-year plan of our
own" to counter communism's
economic and theological bland
iShments.
He proposed this as "the
price of survival" in a cold war
that may be won or lost before
it reaches the shooting stage, in
making the keynote address at
the 18th annual convention Of
Americans for Democratic Ac-
ton.
Senator Humphrey, an ADA
vice chairman who is looked on
in liberal circles as a Demo-
cratic hopeful in 1860, criticized
the lack of leadership in the
White House in waging the
cold war, and said:
"Our national leaders warn
us of the evils of international
communism" he said. They
profess to recognize its dangers.
But when it comes to fighting
this war, they tell us we can
fight it with one arm tied be-
hind our backs. They propose
to fight the balance Of terror
with balanced budgets, with
buSiness-as-uSual, with politics.
aS-uSual."
Three Goals for U. S.
Senator Humphrey set three
goals which he said the United
States should pursue in the face
of a new seven-year Russian
program calling for stepped up
economic and industrial prog
resS. These goals were:
/. 1.-THE winning of a just and
durable peace" which he said
requires cool nerves, endless
patience and 1.-THE ability to
keep ourselves at peak strength

Will Study Entire
Highway Network
BY GEORGE BEvERIDGE
star stan writer

o1hE sum WAAhCA
The District Highway De-
partment does not intend to
recommend any action by the
Commissioners on the Wiscon-
sin avenue freeway controversy
until after an intensive study
Of the entire city highway net
work - perhaps lasting six
months or nSore.
City Highway Director H. L,
Aitken made this plain at a
press conference he called this
morning to discuss problems
he said face the District in
the argument.
Federal and area planners
voted Thursday to include a
Wisconsin freeway as part OF
the forthcoming Washington
Area Mass Transportation Sur
vey. They also asked the Com
missioners to reconsider their
opposition to it, which had
been reiterated Wednesday
night in a 2 to l vote.
Plans Drastic Changes
Mr.. Aitken, however, said he
felt it was impossible to con-
slider the hingle highway apart
from the rest of the system
and disclosed his intention tc
make drastic changes in the
freeway plan now approved
He suggested, for example
that plans to rebuild New York
avenue NE. as a Federal inter-
state freeway may be dropped
in order to make the 80 pei
cent of cost Federal aid the
Government pays on such roads
available for other freeways
Mr.. Aitken said the city's
highway financial plight is SC
serious he is not certain the
Wisconsin avenue freeway
should be approved even if is
found feasible from an engi-
neering viewpoint. Plans on the
books. for example, now cal
for $355 million worth of in
terstate system freeways in the
District alone with only IL pei
cent of the money needed tc
build them available or ir
sight, he said.
Questions Raised
The new highway chief, how.
ever, also raised a number Of
engineering questions about the
feasibility of an expressway
route proposed by the planners
This location would cut across
Rock Greek Park from Wiscon-
sin avenue, follow Irving street
to about Fourteenth NV. ther
drop south to connect with the
Districts inner loop freeway
near Florida avenue.
Among the points he noted
was a doubt that the inner loor
system could physically handle
the huge additional traffic vol
umes since it already is over
loaded" in design. He also
questioned whether it would bt
possible to build the truck free.

Mr.. Gromyko. first Of the
foreign ministers to reach here
for Mondays conference OPEN
ing. was greeted by a big turn
out Of Soviet bloc diplomats.
Stepping from a cleaning
white turboprop plane. at the
head of a l7-man delegation,
Mr.. Gromyko repeated Soviet
assertions that the most urgent
problems for the conference
were a peace treaty with Ger
many and liquidation Of the
allied occupation in Berlin.
Seeks Positive Solution
1T is for a positive solution
Iof these important questions
that the Soviet delegation has
arrived here" Mr.. Gromyko
said. "Our intentions are
serious. We shall make every
effort for this conference to be
crowned with success.
1.-THE Soviet government is
confident that at present there
exist the necessary conditions
to prevent war and insure a
lasting peace" The Com
lmunists appeared in a con-
hdent mood, and Western diplo-
matte sources were rather pes
simistic. Western sources eau
toned against raising high
hopes for success Of the confer
ence. They pointed to prospects
of contention at the outset on
such routine matters as
agenda and procedure.
The Western powers have
prepared a package plan. The
Russians want to give priority
to Berlin and a German peace
treaty and object to bringing
in Western plans for German
unification and European Sc
curity at the same time.
More argument may develop
on whether outside powers may
participate in the first Big Four
foreign ministers parley since
1855.

Tt has been frequently true in the past that the judge at Nome has been shared with the other di- visions when the Workload indi- cateS such an economy. This has also been the case of other mem bers of the court staff from time to time So far as I know, this factor has never ben considering when figures have been computed concerning the cost of the court at Nome.
 Tn addition to the economic consideration we must also con- sider the equitable and legal prin- ciples which the law serves. The cost of litigation to residents of this area will probably become prohibitive if a court is not main tained here. The due process clause of the Constitution says that every man is entitled to his day in court and we cannot serve this Constitutional right if we make the cost of justice pro- hibitiVe.
 c'Many recent decisions of the Supreme Court have heartily condemned delays in justice where individual liberty was involved. The attitude of the Court in this respect is that the cost of justice offers scant excuse for depriving a citizen of his constitutional rights. The Constitution and the American Flag must remain to- gether and cannot be separated by pecuniary reasons. The State of Alaska has a solemn obligation to afford due process of law to ALL of it's citizens on an equal basis"
 Northwestern Alaskan residents will have to get together and stand together in their demand for equality and justice. Individuals should indicate their feelings by letters to this paper, to the new Governor, and the Legislature, soon to meet.

 "As things are now, we have an enormous distance covered by two small eingle engine planes that are totally inadequate for the job If we had a DC-4 landing daily around here, these Advan- tages would follow:
 l. We would be sure of a good mail service.
 2. Travelling by air would be much cheaper; also freight rates which now are exhorbitant.
 3. Emergencies for the Bethel Hospital would be taken care of better. As it is now, often a pa tient can't be hospitalized in time
 4. As progress develops, so does the number of passengers who are now doomed to get stranded all along the line for lack of trans portation. Also more people would travel if they had the facilities. It is the roads that open up a country. As there are none here, we depend exclusively on the planes to move around.

 We will exchange our Library books with those books in MT. Draper's Sixth Grade for the sec ond semester. We received over a dozen new books this school year for our class. Some children have bought Arrowhead Book Club pocket books at a very reas- enable price.
 Our room had a visitor, Mr. Arthur Bleich, New York pho tographer, taking pictures for four magazines. He has about 5000 pictures of Alaska, and has tra- veled all over our State to take them. He gave us a very inter esting talk about the New York subways, cabs, gangs, and schools.

 "A court must be maintained at Nome by the State. The argument sometimes advanced is that it is not economical considering the size of the case load This argu- ment is not true and it is not a proper consideration to take con- corning the administration of justice.
 "The cost of transporting wit nesses, jurors and defendants to Fairbanks for criminal trials largely outweigh any economy made by not having a court at Nome It has been my experience that transportation of witnesses and jurors to Nome has been high enough to prove the fallacy of moving the court to an even more remote place. In addition to these expenses must be added the ex- pense the police department would incur in conferring with the states attorney relative to prosecution opinions and such. It has also been my experience that where it is possible to give swift justice the cost is generally much less than if matters became prolonged
