security program, the commit
tee emphasized that there is
no reasonable alternative as an
instrument of United States
foreign policy.
THE only alternative pre-
sented by any of the witnesses
at hearings on the authorize
ton bill was higher defense
spending at home" the COM
mittee said. This committee
does not comment here on the
adequacies of the administra-
tons defense budget. But
whatever the needs Of our ma
tional defense may be. meeting
those needs for defense will do
nothing to promote our politi-
cal and economic interests in
Asia, Africa and Latin Amer
ica."
The committee commented
that it is puzzled by a paradox
in assessing the foreign aid
program. 1t noted that the
program has been supported by
every President and Congress
since its inception and by nu-
merous private or Semipublic
groups.
"All of this would seem to in
dicate overwhelming public
support" the committee said,
yet there is unmistakable evi-
dence that the program is mis-
understood and disliked by
large numbers OF the American
people. A part of the explana-
ton for this paradox undoubt-
edly lies in faulty administra-
ton of the program.
The task involved is per-
haps the most difficult admin
istrative job of our times. And
progress has been made. In
the meantime, nothing is to be
gained and a great deal is to be
lost by abandoning or emascu-
lating the enterprise"
Committee officials said the
Senate probably will take up
the authorization bill within
two weeks. The House last
Thursday approved a $4,038,-
100000 authorization measure.
This total was about $107 mil
lion less than the Senate COM
mittee'S recommended total
and approximately $137 million
under the administrators re-
quest.

City Police Will Enforce State Laws Outside of Cities

PETERSBURG = Police Chief H. D. Speed" Hoff and his of ficers are authorized to enforce state laws outside the corporate limits of the Town of Petersburg, it was ascertained recently. In fact, they can enforce the law any place in Alaska.
 When the Petersburg Council requested the Department of Pub lie Safety to deputize Hoff to make his authority more definite in coping with law enforcement problems - particularly juvenile liquor problemS-outside the city limits, a return letter pointed out that he already had unquestioned authority to make arrests and to enforce state laws outside of the area of municipal limits
 CD He has the authority as a citizen.
 (2) He has the authority of a peace officer as defined in the State Rules of Criminal Proceed ure.
 These rules authorize any peace officer (which by definition in cludes police officers appointed by municipal authorities) to make arrests and serve criminal process issued by the state court system anywhere in Alaska.
 The letter from the office of Commissioner Martin Underwood further stated that Our law is unusual in this respect and un- doubtedly was founded on the premise, extremely valid in the past and only slightly less so at the present time, that there are not enough policemen to go around"
 Commenting on the above, Petersburg Mayor Lew Williams added that this does not mean that the Petersburg police depart ment is doing to do exensive pat rol outside town. "The primary mission of the city police depart ment is to protect the lives and property of the taxpayers of the city. However, in the past it has become necessary for Police Chief Hoff to go outside town to make arrests or secure information to more effectively protect the lives and property of city taxpayers. It may be necessary to do it again on occasions"

BEHIND THE SIT-INS

movement like this there is
the danger of the wrong kind

out. But she believes CORE
has been successful in MAIN

"philosophically grounded"
While CORE has supplied
bail for students in two or
three Southern towns, its
principle role ends once a sit
