Grueningg Assured Govt. Will Finance Alaska Mortgages
By FRITZ WITH

WASHINGTON, R = Sen. Err nest Gruening said Friday it ap- pears likely federal funds to buy home mortgage loans will be available in Alaska while the need exists.
 Gruening said he received a letter from Norman P Mason, ad- ministrator of the Housing and Home Finance Agency, saying he would recommend to the Presi- dent that additional special as- sistance funds be made available for purchase of Alaska mort gages by the Federal National Mortgage Assn.
 Late last year the President ap- proved 10 million dollars for this fund to buy Federal Housing Ad- ministration home mortgages in Alaska but indicated that would be the last allocation.
 There were protests from Alas kans, claiming there was virtually no private market there for FILA approved loans. They said that without federal mortgage funds, home building in the state would stop when the 10 million dollar allocation ran out about next June.
 Mason told Gruening that after reviewing a special report on the situation from Gov. William Egan, he decided to recommend to the President that additional federal funds be made available on the same basis as at present.
 Mason told Gruening he hopes satisfactory. private mortgage market will develop in Alaska because he said, special assistance funds under the EMMA program cannot continue indefinitely.
 However, Gruening said he was assured by Mason that until such market develops he will rec ommend that funds be allocated for the program in Alaska.

City Council Meeting Notes

The Nome City Council, at a special meeting on Friday eve ming met with the new attorney, Virgil Vochoska and conferred on several matters pending before the city at this time.
 A new contract was received from the State Juvenile Depart ment but was rejected inasmuch that Judge Hubert Gilbert has ruled the Federal Jail premises unfit for detention of juveniles.
 Correspondence was received from the Department of Revenue that the refunds from liquor lic- enses would not be as high as expected as the increase in the license fees would go to the State and not to the City.

Airlines Lawyers Battle Over Bush Routes Legislation

JUNEAU, R - The fate of a controversial bill dealing with intra-Alaska air carrier opera tions was in the hands of the Sen ate Judiciary Committee Satur- day after spirited public hearing.
 Representatives of nonsched- uled air carriers and the states certified carriers were present in force Friday when the Senate committee called a public hearing on the measure.
 Wendell Kay, an Alaska attor- ney representing a group calling itself the Committee to Restrict the Bush Operations of the States Certificated Air Carriers, said:
 The scheduled carriers do not want their routes tempered with. l think this thing has to go both ways"
 The scheduled airlines, in a brief signed by Juneau attorney Robert Annis, told the committee the proposals made by Kay's group, "could raise havoc with the existing air pattern in Alaska"
 Kay told the committee the bush operations of scheduled lines should be restricted to casual, occasional and infrequent' trips.
 Sen. John Coghill R-Nenana) asked Kay if members of his group might not fear competition from larger air contract carriers, who fly aircraft larger than other members of the group Kay rep resents. Kay said there was no concern in his group on that score.
 Annis said Kay's proposal would have the effect of creating special class of carrier involv- ing contract carriers who fly large planes.
 Under present Civil Aeronau- tics Board regulations, these large aircraft are restricted to either contract work or scheduled carrier operations.
 Annis said if the suggestions of Rays group were followed, a new class of contract carriers, "com- pletely without economic opera tion," would be created.
 He said both certificated air lines and air taxi operators would be affected by what he said would be special treatment of the contract pilots.
 Annis said he represented Alaska Airlines, Alaska Coastal Airlines, Cordova Airlines, Ellis Airlines, Pacific Northern Air lines, Northern Consolidated Air lines, Reeve Aleutian Airlines and Wien Alaska Airlines.

give him the Democratic presi-

forecast when Pennsylvania
swung the bulk of its 181 votes
to him and Sen. Hubert H. Hum
phrey released IS votes, most of
which are expected to go to the
Massachusetts, senator.
At a jam-packed news confer
ence, Kennedy declined to name
any preference for a vice presi-
dental running mate. However,
he listed number of potential
candidates he indicated would be
satisfactory to him.
Kenney said that if he is nomi-
mated he will consult with Senate

son, rival for the nomination,
and House Speaker Sam Rayburn
before announcing his choice Of
a new national chairman. Paul M,
Butler is retiring as party chair

neWsman with the delegation said
private conversations indicate
Kennedy has an edge over the
other candidates.
McCutcheon said: "The power
of our delegation lies in secrecy.
The longer it goes on the more
attention we will get. If we can
keep secret until shortly before
the roll call, we will have nation
al attention.
Alaska will be the most impor-
tant state in the union. Let the
pressure build up. When the final
moment comes, Alaska is going to
call the shot"
He said the secrecy strategy al
ready was paying off.
"We've got them (the candid
ates) coming to us" he said. THAT
never happened before

alternate, to vote for William E.

Moderate groups seeking or

The United States and Cuba
We'd today for international sup

Cuba asked for a meeting of
the UN Security Council to con-
slider the situation. Though details

ately, it presumably charged the
situation is a threat to interna-
tional peace. This is one Of the
conditions required by the U.N.
charter for Security Council ac-

Almost simultaneously with the
Cuban action in New York, Presi-
dent Eisenhower outlined at New

that will include Cuba only if Cas-
tro's regime moderates its course.
Eisenhower told a news confer

The President brushed aside a
hint by Cuban President Osvaldo
Dorticos that Cuba may demand
that the United States abandon
its perpetual lease on the Guam

Soviets Announce They Shot Down
US. B47 Missing Since July In Arctic

MOSCOW, Up = The Soviet
Union announced today it shot
down an American RB47 recon
Nuisance plane July l over So
Wet territory and that two crew
men parachuted to safety and
are being questioned.
This was the first word of the
plane since it disappeared July l
with six men aboard while on an
electromagnetic mapping flight
over waters north of Norway and
the Soviet Union.
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrea
Gromyko summoned us. Charge
d'Affaires Edward Freers and
handed him a note protesting VIC
lation of Soviet air space by the
plane.
Similar notes were given to
Britain and Norway because the
plane was temporarily based in
England and was expected to land
at a Norwegian air field.
A Soviet announcement said the

with full severity of Soviet law"
The two filters were 1t. John R.
McCone of Conganoxie, Kan, and
1t. Freeman B. Olmstead, Elmira,
NY.
The note did not mention the
fate of the other members of the
crew of six.
The note said the Soviet air
force picked up trace of the
plane while it was over the Bar
ents Sea proceeding toward So
Wet territory. When it reached
the Soviet border at the Kola
Peninsula, a fighter plane took
off and identified the plane by
its American Air Force markings.
The note said the Soviet pilot
ordered the American plane to
land but the pilot refused and
kept moving in over Soviet ter
ritory. When the refusal to land
continued, the note said, the So
VETS shot down the American
plane.
The U. S. Air Force said the
plane was mapping magnetic
fields in the extreme north Of the
world in a survey intended to pro-
vide information for more accu-
rate maps.
The missing plane, normally
based at Forbes Air Force Base
at Topeka, Kan, was about 1900
miles from the north pole when
it made its last radio report.
A Pentagon spokesman ex-
planned the magnetic force affect
ing conventional compasses varies
in direction over different parts
of the earth and at different
times. Navigation charts show
these variations in degrees along
curving lines, and corrections are
made from year to year.
Asst. Secretary of Defense Muir

plane made no deliberate attempt
to fly over the Soviet Union.
