Senate Votes to Tax Illegal Slot Machines $25O A Year

JUNEAU, R-The Alaska Sen ate voted yesterday to slap a $250 annual license fee on slot ma chimes, which are illegal under state law.
 The bill, which provides fees of $50 to $125 for other kinds of coin-operated amusement devices, now goes to the House. A fee for penny gum machines was stricken out
 The Senate debated a bill to continue the veterans loan pro- gram, but did not reach a vote. The House passed the bill earlier The $1,200,O00 veterans loan fund was created in 1949.
 Sen. R. J. McNealy told the Senate he felt the act "had pretty well served its purpose" Sen. Seaborn J. Buckalew said there was "no rhyme nor reason why veterans shouldn't be readjusted by now"
 Sen. Irene Ryan said she felt the program fills a need. She called attention to another House bill which would extend loan privil- eges to veterans who entered the service from other states but have lived in Alaska for 10 years.
 A proposal that funds be ap- propriated to publish the full pro- ceedings of Alaska's 1955-56 Con- stitutional Convention met objec- tions from the Senate Finance Committee. The committee recom- mended that the bill, introduced earlier this week, be scrapped. Estimates of the cost ran around $50,O00.

JUNEAU, R-The Atomic En- ergy Commissions Project Cha riot''-a plan to make a huge ex- cavation on the Arctic coast with an atomic blast will be under study for at least another year.
 Representatives of the commits sion arrived here Thursday on their way to a tour of villages in northwest Alaska.
 The three-man team planned to talk with village councils from Kotzebue to Barrow. Their hope is to allay fears, expressed by some of the predominantly native population, that the project might be dangerous to life in the re- mote, sparsely populated Arctic.
 The project is part of Opera ton Plowshare," the AEC's pro- gram for peaceful use of nuclear energy.
 New Engineering Tool
 The proposed blast, near Cape Thompson on the Chukchi Sea north of Kotzebue, was described by the AEC delegation as a study to find a thew engineering tool"
 They said the object will be to learn whether nuclear materials can be used effectively in "crater- ing" An original plan to blast out a usable harbor in the area has been abandoned as unfeasible.
 R. L. Southwick said the AEC Committee on Environmental Stu dies for the project has deter mined further studies are needed of radiation and other factors connected with the proposed blast.
 Accordingly, plans are under way for about 50 scientists and technicians from universities, re- search institutions and federal agencies to participate in research work next summer. A similar pro- gram was carried out last sum- mer.
 Southwick was accompanied by Russell H. Ball and Charles l.. Weaver. Dr. Robert Rausch of the Arctic Health Research Center is

Decision to Deactivate Whittier Base Not Final

WASHINGTON, R = No final decision on deactivation of the Army-owned and operated Whit tier, Alaska, port facilities has been made, Sen. Bartlett said yes- terday.
 Bartlett said he was informed by Gen. Lemnitzer, Army Chief of Staff, that the two top mili- tary commanders in Alaska have endorsed an Army shutdown at Whittier.
 ''There have been proposals from the Alaska Railroad, the state and private interests who might wish to take over the ice-free, deep water port" Bartlett said.
 Lemnitzer told Bartlett the pro- poSalS are under study.

Atomic Energy Commission Team Arrives In Alaska to Visit Villages
 To Allay Fears of ''Chariot' Blast

scheduled to join the three on their tour of NV. Alaska com munities after a meeting at An chorage.
 Their itinerary includes Nome, Kotzebue, Noatak, Kivalina, Point Hope, Point Lay, Barrow and Shishmaref.
 Change in Plans
 The AEC team announced change in the type of explosion which would be detonated. The new plans call for five simultan- eous detonations-one charge of 200-kiloton intensity and four of 20 kilotons.
 Originally, the plan called for two 200-kiloton explosions and three of the 20-kiloton variety.
 In any case, the blast would be the largest ever conducted for the peaceful use of atomic energy.
 Southwick said the new plan will permit study of the pos sible use of atomic materials to blast long, narrow excavations such as canals.
 About 90 per cent of the radio activity from the explosions is virtually guaranteed" to be con- tained in the earth. The detona- tions will occur several hundred feet under the earth's surface, the visitors said. That, they added, will assure wide safety margin on the dispersion of radioactive debris.
 Southwick said the projects en- vironmental studies committee has recommended the detonation be made in the spring, in March or April. The committee found that season best because few birds are in the area, most small animals and plants are under snow cover and weather and day. light conditions good. Moreover, the committee determined radio active debris from the blast would be flushed from the frozen land scape by the spring runoff if the blast is detonated in March or April.

Psychiatrist Says Alaska Program Going Backward

ANCHORAGE, tR - Alaska's state government is more con- cerned with the spells system than with care of its mental pa- tients, Dr. J. Ray Langdon, state psyhiatrist in Anchorage, charged in letter of resignation to Paul Winsor, Commissioner of Health and Welfare.
 q have attempted since 1 have been in Alaska to point out and discuss these difficulties on nu- merous occasions within the de- partment but have met with re- peated rebuffs so that it is evil dent that I can be of little further assistance in the mental health program" wrote Langdon yester- day.
 He worked with Alaska's men, tai patients at Morningside Hos pital in Portland, Ore, for nearly two years before coming to An chorage two years ago.
 "When I left Morningside Hos pital to come to Alaska it was with the hope and anticipation that a forward looking mental health program was under way !. unfortunately instead of pro gress there seems little evidence that the mental health situation in Alaska is doing anything but going backward"
 Mistakes "seem to be taking place not through sheer lack of knowledge but from cynical dis regard for the needs of the pa tients in favor of spells system type of operation" he declared.
 He also censured the division of mental health for refusing to keep the general public in- formed"
 An example of this, said Lang don, ''is the failure to notify the public of our inability to activate the contract for use of the psy- chiatric unit in the Anchorage ANS Hospital"
 ''It is my feeling that the lead ership in the state government and within the division of mental health is largely unconcerned with the needs of Alaska's men, tally ill and that within a few years if the present policies con- tinue Alaska will be notorious for it's mishandling of it's mental health program" he declared.

Fire Destroys Big Fish Cannery Near SeldOyia

SELDOVIA, R = A fire that ragged unchecked throughout the afternoon and into the night de- stroyed the big Seldovia Port Graham Consolidated Fish Can nery, one of Alaska's oldest can- neries, today.
 Vance Sutter, president of the Fidalgo Island Packing Co. said in Seattle that from reports he re- ceived from the scene he esti- mated damage would run be- tween $500,000 and $750,000.
 Sutter said the entire cannery, including warehouses and out buildings, was valued at about million dollars. He said "sub- stantial" amount of the loss would be covered by insurance.
 It was not known how the fire started.
 The cannery was built in 1912 and operated every year since.
 Port Graham, an Indian village of some 250 persons during the off season but bustling com munity during the fishing season, lies at the tip of the Kenai Pen insula, 150 miles southwest of An chorage.

New York City In Grip of Winters
 Most Vicious Storm

NEW YORK, R-Winter's most vicious storm-the wort in many years for some areas-piled up mountainous snowdrifts and stag gered the activities of millions in the northeastern states today.
 As it swept through the north east with the same fury previous ly unleashed on much of the country, it left trail of at least 94 deaths across the country.
 Thousands of schools were closed. Hundreds of businesses were forced to shut down. Auto, bus, rail and air travel was hit hard. Stalled cars, many buried under mounting drifts, dotted roads and highways and made snowplow work difficult
 The storm began to let up around dawn today after a 24- hour siege in the New York City area, one of the hardest hit. But millions of New Workers, who went through grim struggle to get home from work late yester- day, faced almost equal troubles trying to get back on the job today.
 Crowds far greater than could be handled sought to board buses and subways. To add to the diff culties, parts of all three New York subways were out of oper- ation during the morning rush hours.

Bronson Suggests Guns Keep Reds Out of Boring Sea

JUNEAU, R-A resolution ask ing that the United States patrol it's continental shelf with armed vessels to keep Russian fishing ships away was introduced in the Alaska Legislature yesterday.
 The memorial by Sen. Lester Bronson would declare the shelf of limits to all nations.
 Were American fishermen to fish as close to Russian territory as Soviet fishermen do to Alaskan territory" said Bronson, "they would be summari1y inferred by the Soviet Union without further ado"
 The memorial said American fisheries "are in danger of serious depletion through uncontrolled exploitation by Soviet high seas fishing fleets"

Lucille and Dezi, Married l9 Years, File for Divorce

HOLLYWOOD, R-Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, television's most popular married couple, are in the divorce courts today.
 The red haired comedienne, often called the greatest feminine clown, sued her Cuban tycoon in nearby Santa Monica yesterday. Her charge was the usual Holly wood complaint-mental cruelty.
 Her action confirmed a fact which had been well known in the movie colony for months. In her suit, she said the couple sep arated Feb. 26, 1859, after 19 years and three months of mar ried life.
 During the year of separation, the two denied any rift in the marriage. One close friend ex- plained why:
 "The Desilu television empire is so vast that it's taken a team of Philadelphia lawyers year to work out settlement. There was nothing else they could do but deny that there was a break-up."
 The two even filmed several q Love Lucy" shows together in that time.
 Arnaz, at 43, five years young CT than his wife, has been living in Palm Springs. Miss Ball has been living in the couples Bever- ly Hills mansion with their two children.

Senate Continues Consideration Of Egan's ESC Bill

JUNEAU, R-A renewed drive to levy unemployment compensa- ton taxes on total wages was foreseen today as the Alaska Sen ate continued consideration of jobless pay.
 The Senate was expected to re- sume consideration of amend ments to Gov. Egan's Employ ment Security bill. Various pro- poses changes were mashed over in an open caucus yesterday.
 The caucus was called after the upper house voted yesterday to accept the Egan bill as start ing point toward curing the states ailing jobless insurance fund.
 Put aside by the Senate was a proposed committee substitute for the Egan bill. The Egan bill puts $7,200 ceiling on taxable wages, while the substitute called for taxation of total wages.
 Henry Hedberg of Anchorage, a spokesman for the State Fedora tion of Labor, released letter to eight senators yesterday renew ing the Federation's support of the total-wage provision.
 Sentiment in the caucus ap- peared generally opposed to the governors proposal that the max imum payment to out-of-state claimants be reduced to $15 from the $25 limit now applying to all claimants.

Suggest Nome As Port of Entry For Russian Planes

An invitation to the people of Russia to enter North America the easiest and shortest way, has been suggested by City Clerk Bob Scott, and is now under consider ation by civic bodies in the con- munity.
 Although Americans are not al- lowed to cross the Iron Curtain into Siberia or Russia via Alaska, there is not believed to be any re- striction that could stop Russian planes from landing at Nome to discharge passengers who then could leave here daily by Wien or Alaska Airlines for any place in the world.
 It is planned to send the invita- ton directly to Nikita s. Khrush- chev, premier of the Supreme Soviet Republic, suggesting that he be among the first to inaugu- rate the new route from Russia and see for himself the economic value of the plan.
