Pravda Gives

MOSCOW, Aug. 1s (AP).-
The trial of Francis Gary Pow

lines in Pravda today but court
room testimony got a full page
inside.
The lead story in the organ
OF the Soviet Communist Party
was an editorial on the role of
unions in increasing produc-
ttion. The No. 2 story was a
report of a gala reception given
in the Indonesian Embassy last
night.
The Powers story appeared
under a two-column headline

said the headline.
Other Soviet newspapers gave
approximately the same treat
ment to the case. which never
theless was the biggest subject
OF conversation among Mus

For the first time the So
Wet press mentioned the ques-
tion of brainwashing. A re-
port of President Eisenhower's
news conference quoted the
President as saying the testi-
mony showed that Powers had
not been brainwashed.
The Tass report from WASH

BY SYLVIA PORTER

What's missing from the
economy in this February of
1860? Fever"
Or. if you wish to choose
another synonym, you might
say that what's missing is
oomph. zip, exuberance, bounce,
buoyancy.
Certainly by any reasonable
yardstick, we are living in q
month of overall prosperity
with profits. production, in
comes, retail trade climbing to-
ward the highest levels ever.
But the vital point is that our
overall prosperity is not a bub-
bly, boom. Most experts expect
ed we'd be in a hectic upsurge
during these first poSt-steel
strike months. There has been
a perceptible change in the
mood of consumers and busi-
nesSmen.
Startling Contrasts
Spotted through the economy
are some startling contrasts
Consider
l. Corporate profits are rising
and stock dividends are being
declared left and right. Yet,
= as you are well aware, the stock
market went into nosedive in
January-early February and
the speed of the slump shocked
even those who expected and
wanted stock prices to decline.
Do even those who anticipated
and wanted the drop approve
what has happened? No.
They're wondering whether the
market trend indicates that re-
cession is a lot closer than
thought likely.
2. The steel industry has
shown an extraordinary capac-
ity to produce rapidly and ef-
f1clently with the result that
there's no longer any threat of
prolonged period of Scarcities.
This means the end of premi
um-priced steel, the end OF
tension in the steel market, a
powerful restraint on infla-
tionary steel price increases. Is
this hailed as healthy for the
economy? No. 1t has added
to the general confusion about
the economy's prospects.
3. Auto sales are ell per
cent ahead of 1859 and the re-
ceptlon to the new 1860 COM
pacts has been superb. But at
the start of 1860, automakers
predicted auto sales would be
IL per cent ahead of 1859.
Imitation Fears Recede
4. The Presidents projection
OF a $4.2 billion surplus rests on
the premise of a highly pros
porous economy, for only a
prosperous nation can create
enough taxes to cover govern
ment spending and produce the
surplus. A balanced budget also
is a massive anti-inflation
weapon. Is industry unanimous

pense The site, they point out, lies in
the faraway state of Goias, so that work
men and materials had to be brought
in by air to get the first phase of con-
struction under way. Construction of
the buildings as we'll as the highways,
railroads, dams, power lines and other
facilities required to support major
modern capital have drained the coun-
try's stock of building supplies.
Furthermore, the critics argue, the
site is in barren, termite-ridden area
lacking in supporting farm regions and
without cultural and recreational
facilities. Workmen employed on the
project have had to live mainly in shack
towns several miles from the heart of
the new capital.
Designed by world-renowned Bra
lillian architect Oscar Niemeyer, the
Federal buildings of Brasilia take
several leaps into the future from the
architectural point of view. In each of
the three component structures

chambers and the legislative Offices
Niemeyer has attempted to express its
essential character in concrete form.

DRESIDENT EISENHOWER'S good
= will tour of Latin America will
include a visit to brand-new city which,
for architectural daring and material
extravaganza, may 60 down in history
as a project to rival the pyramids of
ancient Egypt
Scheduled for dedication April 81,
Brasilia, as the new capital of Brazil
is called, has had to overcome stagger-
ing series of natural and man-made
obstacles. Some 10000 workmen have
been laboring day and night to finish
the city by its dedication date-before
the expiration of President Juscelino
Kubitschek's term of office. Should they
lose the race, Brasilia might be scrapped,
as has been threatened by opposition
political parties.
The brainchild of President Kubit-
schek, the new capital figures to cost the
government some $5OO,OOO. Expendi-
lures of private companies and indi-
viduals for headquarters and living
space are expected to total an additional
ST. billion.
For Americans whose knowledge OF
Brazil is limited to coffee, the carioca
and the Amazon River, switching the
capital from beautiful Rio de Janeiro to
isolated Brasilia may seem to make
about as much sense as moving our

palace, conceived in monumental and
noble spirit that must stamp it." To
achieve the dignified yet exalted effect,
the architect designed special frontal
pillars which seem to give the building
floating appearance that is enhanced by
a spacious pool in front of the structure.
Similar considerations have affected the
design of the other Federal buildings.
If the headaches of constructing
Brasilia have proved wearing on Brazil,
the headaches of occupation may prove
even more exhausting. 1t is argued by
some that the 10000 government work
ers who now live in luxurious Rio de
Janeiro will be loath to exchange their
gay seaside paradise for the doubtful
pleasures and distinctions of a city
that is essentially pioneer town, though
an architecturally modern one. High
government officials, however, declare
the change will do the country good,
claiming that the soft and easy life of
Rio makes for Incidence and admins
trative inefficiency. In Brasilia, they say,
civil servants will have a chance to
perform dedicated service.
Whether or not Brasilia succeeds,
the scope of its conception and the scale
of its execution will certainly make it

Government from Washington to, say, the
Colorado Desert. According to hackers
of the project, however, the reasoning
goes like this:
Brazil occupies an area of 3.3 mil
hon square miles Slightly larger than
the U. S., but only a small segment
along the Atlantic Coast is densely
settled. With population of more than
60 million and a birth rate that will sky
rocket the number to more than 100 mil
lion by 1880, Brazil must spread its
people into the interior
To stimulate the development of the
vast and potentially rich hinterland, an
inland city of some importance is
deemed necessary. What better kind
of city, argue supporters of President
Kubitschek, than the capital itself?
BY seating the government more nearly
in the center of the country some 600
miles northwest of Rio-the whole ma
tion is expected to benefit from the
growth of new communities, develop
ment of highways and railroads, and
exploitation of resources in under
developed areas
Not to be talked down by dreams of
a brilliant Brasilia-based future, oppon-
ents of the project snipe away with some
solid ammunition. The big question, as
they see it, is whether the Brazilian

Britain Backs us.
Proposals AT Law
OF Seas Talks

GENEVA, R = Britain yester-
day threw its weight behind an
American proposal to recognize
traditional foreign fishing rights
inside universal 12-mile boun-
Diary for national fishing waters.
John Hare, British Minister of
Agriculture and Fisheries, told the
U.N. Law of the Sea Conference
Britain fully supports the Amer
lean proposal because ''it aims to
resolve in fair way the interests
of the coastal and the fishery
states"
The American formula would
set a universal emile limit for
territorial waters and an ada
cent emile belt in which the coas-
tai state would have exclusive
fishing rights.
The coastal state would, how
ever, be bound to admit those for
eign fishing vessels which had
operated regularly in the outer
smile zone from 1853 to 1858 or a
like number from the particular
country.
Hare said Britain prefers the
American proposal to a rival Ca
madam 6-plus miles proposal
which insists on exclusive coastal
fishing rights out to IL miles and
opposes establishing the principle
of Historic" foreign fishing rights
in coastal waters.
Hare said, however, that British
support of the American compro-
mise formula involves heavy
sacrifice for Britain.
SIT means abandoning the s.
mile territorial sea-" he said. "It
means accepting not only the ex-
elusive right of coastal states to
fish up to miles, but also giving
them a further 6 miles of exclu-
sive fishing, subject only to the
requirement that this contiguous
zone should be shared = to a
limited extent = by other nations
who have had full legal right to
fish in those waters, many of them
from time immemorial."

More Halibut
Fishers Will Try
Boring Sea Waters

SEATTLE, Up = More Seattle
halibut boats will be fishing in
the Boring Sea and other areas
west of the Shumagin Islands this
year than ever before.
Likewise, more Canadians will
be in those far-Western waters.
Halibut fishing by American
and Canadian boats in the North
Pacific will begin Friday with
the opening of what is known as
Area 3B, including all waters west
of the Shumagins.
Fishing in other Alaska waters
and areas to the eastward will
not begin until May l.
Thirty-nine American boats,
mostly from Seattle, and 80 Cana
dian vessels are expected to fish in
Area 3B.
This is just about double the
number which fished there last
year, when the fleet included II
American and "a Canadian boats.
The Boring Sea halibut fishery
is comparatively new; this is only
the third year that it has been
major fishery.
The presence of extensive hall
but resources in the Boring Sea
wasn't known until 1856. In that
year Seattle vessel, the Polaris,
which was doing research work
under charter to the International
Commission, discovered large
quantities of halibut.
A few boats fished the area
the next year, and in 1858 the
Boring Sea became a major hall
but fishery with about Is boats
in operation.
In addition to last years sue
cesses, the increased fleet this
year results from a minor factor
which illustrates how events in
one part of the world can affect
seemingly unrelated fishing OPP
erations far away.
Peruvian boats fishing off
South America have had such
success in catching fish used for
fish-meal purposes that they have
been able to invade markets sup
piled by the Japanese, the tradi-
tional low-cost producers.
The Peruvian successes have af-
fected the entire world market for
fish meal, and one result has been
the closing of the British Column
bia herring fishery.
So Canadian boats, no longer
fishing for halibut, are going to
the Boring Sea for halibut.
While Russia has a large fish
ing fleet in the Boring Sea, re-
ports indicate that the Russians
are fishing for other species, ra-
ther than halibut.

Senate Passes Tax
Hike on Fuels

JUNEAU, M - The Senate COM
pleted legislative action on two
fuel tax bills Friday and whisked
the new laws along to Gov. Egan,
who had requested the tax in
creases called for in the measures.
One of the bills would boost the
highway motor fuel tax from five
to seven cents gallon. The other
measure would increase the tax
on fuel for boats from two to
three cents gallon. Both in
creases would become effective
April l..
The new boat fuel tax increase
was designed to raise $4,000 a
year in additional revenue.
The two-cent increase in the
highway fuel tax was designed to
raise $950,000 year and Sen. Al
Owen of Uganik Bay indicated the
money would be used for the con-
struction of pioneer roads.
The Senate also approved a
House-passed bill to require the
use of at least 80 per cent Alas
kans on projects under contract
to any state, municipal, borough,
or school agency in the state.
The provision, approved by
1871 vote, would apply to any
jobs on which 10 or less people
are employed.
If more than 10 workers are in
volved, at least IS per cent of
them would have to be Alaskans.
Sen. Howard Bradshaw of Sitka

labor leader, said it was vitality
