Holiday Deadly, So
Is Average Weekend

This year 367 persons were kill
ed in traffic accidents over the
Memorial Day weekend, 442 over
the July 4th weekend, and Ais
over the Labor Day weekend. New
and frightening, statistics are COM
ing up for the Thanksgiving week
end.
But look out for the average"
weekend. Your chances of being
killed then are almost as good as
on one of the big national holidays.
On the weekend of June IL, for
example, the Associated Press re-
ported 348 traffic deaths across the
nation, just 19 fewer than on the
preceding Memorial Day weekend.
And the traffic toll on non-holiday
weekends is rising.
What can you do to protect your
life when you take to the road, on
a holiday or any other time? First
drive with all the care you can
exercise, observing all traffic reg
ulations and making allowances for
the dangerous mistakes other dri-
vers may make. Second, make GER
tain your car is in perfect safety
condition. Have a competent me-
chanic check steering, tires, lights
and especially brakes.
According to American Brake
biloxi, one of the country's largest
manufacturers of brake Innings for
cars and trucks, national surveys
show that one out of every four
| h. p r.
attention. Brakeblok safety en-
gineers have prepared the follow
ing simple, five-point test for mot
orists to find out whether or not
their brakes need attention:
1. Check the distance your brake
pedal moves when depressed. If
it comes within 1 IA" of the floor
board, you need to have your
brakes adjusted by good mechan-
| ic.
2. Does the pedal have "spongy
feel?" If it doesn't come to a
solid stopping point when depress-
ed, it probably indicates that there
is air in the hydraulic lines. Have
mechanic inspect your brakes.
8. Have your service station or
repair shop remove a wheel and
check the lining. If it's worn down
close to the rivet heads, or to ap-
proximately 1872" in thickness, a
refining job is needed.
4. Notice whether your car pulls
or swerves to left or right when
the brakes are applied. This dan
gerous condition can be caused by
serveral things: worn or improper
lining; a leak in the hydraulic
lines, causing the brakes on only
one side to be effective; grease,
hydraulic fluid, or other foreign
matter on the lining. In some
cases, it may be the worn con-
dition of the brake drums.
5. Does you car stop within rec
commended distances when the
brakes are applied 80 feet, from
the instant your foot hits the brake,
at 40 miles an hour; "a feet at
so mph?
If your car fails any of the above
tests, you're betting your life with
every mile until those brakes are
made safe.

Planning Report, Jobless Pay Will be First Major Work

JUNEAU, tR - The 1860 Legis- lature headed toward completion of it's first week today with two of the largest items likely to come before the session due for intro duction.
 They are Governor Egan's rec concentrations for solving the states ailing jobless insurance program and the capital expendi- lures recommendations of the Planning Commission.
 The jobless insurance program is now some nine million dollars in the red.
 The Governor last year vetoed a bill proposing amendments to the employment security meas ures passed by the 1859 session.
 The bill called for a tax for the employment security fund on total wages paid, instead of the present levy against a workers first S4,200 in wages.
 That provision of the bill, par ticularly, drew sharp opposition by spokesmen for state business interests.
 There has been no indication of what Egan's recommendations will be - or whether he will follow the proposals of the majority of a special committee he named to study the problem last year.
 That committees majority rec ommendation was for enactment of virtually the same bill that was vetoed in 1859.
 Yesterday the Finance Commit tees of the House and the Senate met jointly for the first time to take close look at the 3619-mil- ion-dollar general fund budget Egan presented to the Legislature Tuesday.
 Meeting with members of the two committees, in executive ses- sion, were members of the Gov ernor'ss Budget Review Con- mittee.

Trucking Executive Declares Interior Mail Would be Faster by Truck

SEATTLE, LR - A trucking company executive contended to- day that truck mail delivery to Alaska, although rejected by the Post Office Department, would be advantageous from standpoint of speed and frequency.
 Henry Jansen, president of Lyn- den Transfer Co. here, said his firms experience showed that mail would reach Alaska by truck from Seattle in 31s to days, with daily delivery.
 "Ratewise," he said, truck rates would be in line with what the government now is paying. The rates would be higher than by ship-rail but advantages of speed and frequency of delivery would more than outweigh that. !"
 Jansen said Interior Alaska would benefit particularly by truck delivery, especially through direct service to such points as Big Delta, Ft+ Greedy and Tok Junction, which are now served by redistribution from Fairbanks.
 A Post Office spokesman in Washington said yesterday a mail contract with the Alaska Steam ship Co. has been renewed for four years, effective January l.. He said use of truck mail was re- jected on the ground of higher cost and because road conditions for year-round operation were considered uncertain.

 The evidence now is that the Western powers and the Soviet Union are heading into period of strain and tension as they try to wiring concessions from each other.
 Since the Western powers have trouble agreeing among them- selves on when and how they should stand firm against Soviet pressures, the strain is sure to be much worse for them. Grim and Dangerous

FINANCIAL CRISIS LOOMS.' SAYS ALASKA PLANNING COMMISSION

incides witR leveling off in the economy as it changes from mill tary and construction orientation to a heavier reliance on natural resources.
 The result would be leveling off in state revenues at a time when more money is needed.
 The problem will be most cri- tical after 1864, when 28 million dollars in federal transitional grants expire.
 Transition Grants Aid ls60-6l
 ''The state will be able to meet the needs for the 1960-61 fiscal year by use of transitional grants and by drawing heavily on the accumulated general fund sur plus," the report stated.
 Thereafter, a serious deficit is indicated. This deficit may be so large that funds will not exist for capital improvements of any kind, allo available funds being used to operate the government and provide minimum services to the people"
 The Planning Commission re- port recommended against Alaska engaging in heavy bonding pro- gram to meet its capital improve ment needs. It said the state, at it's present level of operations, would have difficulty meeting bond service requirements.

By BERNIE MORRIS

JUNEAU, R - The State Plan ming Commission today presented the Legislature with long awaited capital improvement pro- gram and predicted "a financial crisis looms ahead" for Alaska.
 The report forecast deficit state spending starting with the next fiscal year if operational expenditures are maintained at the present level.
 The commission said the pres ent level of operational services alone will put the state more than 30 million dollars in the red by the end of 1866.
 The report outlined a 324 mill lion dollar capital improvement for the next six years. If the pro- gram is carried out, the report added, the combined total state deficit would reach $72, ,369, ,000 by fiscal 1866.
 30 Million From State Sources
 Only about 80 million dollars of the proposed capital improve ment program would come from state sources. Most of the 324 mil lion dollar total would come from federal funds, primarily for use in highway and airport con- struction.
 The financial crisis comes, the report said, at a critical period in the development of Alaska's econ- omy and government.

Insurgents Own
 Algiers Moslems Told to Sit Tight
By ANDREW BoRoWIEC

ALGIERS, R - French insur- gents virtually took over Algiers today in their battle to keep AL geria French.
 The Moslem rebel leadership, fighting for independence, mus tered it's forces for a showdown.
 In between the two contending forces, President Charles De Gaulle strove to make his pres ence felt and regain control of a situation that threatens his gov ernment and it's tenuous hold on this strategic North African area.
 The rebel government-in-exile called for Moslems in the 0,000- man French Army to desert to the nationalist guerrilla forces. It urged the nine million Moslem civilians, wooed by both De Gaulle and his rightist French foes, to sit tight for the present.
 At the same time, the national ist command, pursuing it's five year war for independence from France, ordered all rebel army units to remain vigilant "in case there is. need to protect the civil population of Algiers, or in case there is an attack by the insur- gents"
 But the insurgents were uncon- tested masters in Algiers, the cap itol, with the departure of De Gaulle's two key men in Algeria for a countryside command post to get away from the immediate pressure of the uprising.
 The representatives are Dele gate General Paul DeLouvrier, the civil administrator, and Gen. Maurice Challe, the military com mander in chief.
 Thursday night DeLouvrier called on the Moslems to rise and demonstrate their faith in De Gaulle and their support of his policy to let all Algerians even tually decide their own future.
 The insurgents, who insist that Algeria remain forever French, declared "We will fight until victory"

Capitol Site Changers Display Only Self-Interest, Declares ChaS. D. Jones

JUNEAU, tR - One of Alaska S first lawmakers wrote the states new legislators to express himself on one of the issues of the hour = whether the capitol should be relocated.
 The letter, read in the Senate Thursday, was from Charles D. Jones of Nome, 60-year resident of Alaska and a member of the Territorial House in the First Legislature in 1913.
 Jones, who last served as a lawmaker in the 1855 Territorial Senate, said his letter was ito express my extreme disapproval of the efforts of certain of our citizenry to remove the capitol from Juneau"
 Said Jones:
 "This move, to me, is the most glaring example of egregious self interest I have ever seen mani Tested. condemn it as to being in any degree or sense for the best interest of the citizenry of the state"
 The capitol move proposal, however, actually is not matter before the Legislature.
 As it stands, the proposal ap- pears likely to come up for a statewide vote later this year in an election ballot proposing en- actment of an initiative law to relocate the capitol by 1865.

L CONFUSION

Because of miSinformation con-
tanned in recent press releases,
Montanans are bewildered as to
just what color is designated for
state-owned vehicles.
The Montana Fish and Game
Department today pointed out that
under the session laws of 1853
(Section 5, Chapter 211) chrome
yellow was designated for all We
hicles excepting those of the Gov
ernor, the Highway Commission,
the Highway Patrol and those ex-
empted by the Governor for spec
ific reasons such as cars used for
law enforcement. Recent articles
have enormously indicated that
bright orange" was the required
color for fish and game department
vehicles.
y 6y written permission from the
Governor, colors of specific vehic-
les may vary from these color
codes, it was advised. Since the
law was enacted, vehicles used by
fish and game wardens for law en-
forcement work have been except
ed from being painted chrome yell

Geese And Swans
Descending On
F%reeze0ut Lake

The return of the Canadian
geese and whistling swans to the
north has begun, another sure sign
of spring in Montana. The first
migration of the majestic birds
are descending on Freezout Lake,
about 35 miles from Great Falls
and just north of Fairfield. The
birds will make the lake their
resting grounds before going fur
Their north to nest.
Dale Witt, Montana fish and
game department. project biologist
at the lake, reported that this first
migration is about two weeks
later than it has been in the past
two years. However, if the warm
weather continues, the peak of
later migratory species may catch
up with last years Witt said.
Montanans who are interested
should take advantage of the OPP
portunity to observe the specta-
cular sight of the thousands of
birds alghting on the lake.
After resting at Freezeout, the
birds start their flight north, some
even going as far as the Article
Circle. In the fall these same spec
les will alight on the lake in the
course of their flight southwark for
the winter. The Freezeout project,
constructed and maintained by the
fish and~game department, pro-
vides maximum resting and food
production areas for the water
fowl.
