Native Fishermen Oppose State Ban On Fish Traps

JUNEAU, R - Governor Egan and the residents of three South eastern Alaska communities have reached an impasse in regard to fish trap laws. The Governor says he intends to enforce Alaska's law against fish traps; the natives say they intend to continue using the traps.
 Egan visited the Indian villages of Metlakatla and Rake Saturday in an attempt to resolve an appar- ent conflict between federal fish ing regulations and state law. Federal law permits operations of fish traps at the two villages and at Angoon, a village Egan was prevented from visiting be- cause of bad weather. State law bans fish traps in all the state waters.
 You are under no obliga- ton to operate traps," Egan told the natives, while I am sworn to uphold the Constitution and state law which forbids traps.
 Egan, who is resuming his duties after a 25-day absence during which he underwent surgery at Seattle, said he made his state ment not as a threat, "but in a spirit of friendship"
 There are a total of II traps sites involved in the dispute.

Frightened g Horse Charges Queen
 In London Parade

LONDON, LR - A caValryman fought with his frightened horse Saturday to keep it from charging into Queen Elizabeth II during her official birthday celebration.
 The cheers of thousands of spec tators froze into one great gasp as the big black horse reared and plunged toward the Queen, only 10 yards away.
 The cavalryman, in glittering silver breastplate and flowing plumeda helmet, was in the last row of the mounted escort. Just behind was the Queen riding side saddle on a chestnut police horse.
 Dressed in close fitting scarlet jacket, blue sash and black tri- corner hat, the Queen rode out of Buckingham Palace and into the wide, tree-lined mall.
 About 10000 spectators cheered her. The roar frightened the cav alryman's horse. It shied and reared. As the big horse twisted and turned toward the Queen, the grim-faced cavalryman strug- gled to regain control. The Queen just looked straight ahead. Not a royal eyelid blinked.

West Holds Little Hope for Progress At Geneva Talks
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER

GENEVA, LR - American off cials said Saturday prospects ap- pear dim for the Soviet Union and Western powers reaching any agreement on Berlin and Germany at the current Big Four foreign ministers conference.
 Advisers of Secretary of State Christian A. Herter expect the SovietS to launch a propaganda offensive blaming the West for failure of the talks and marshall ing world pressure for a summit conference anyway.
 There is a possibility the West ern foreign ministers may seek a recess of their conference and leave the way open to get together again.
 PrSident Eisenhower has made plain that he has no intention of meeting Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev unless the foreign ministers show enough progress to justify heads-of-go government conference.
