Will Preserve
StdtusQuo for
6 or 8 Months
Promises to Wait
Until New Summit
Has Chance to Act
BY PRESTON GROVER
Associated Press Stan Writer

BERLIN, May 20.-Nikita S.
Khrushchev promised today to
preserve the status quo in
Germany until another summit
conference in six or eight
months has chance to settle
the problem.
The Soviet Premier vowed to
do nothing to bring back the
worst times of the cold war"
But he said there was a hidden
struggle among various United
States circles which makes us
fear serious developments"
I'VE believe" he told a fran
tically cheering East German
audience, that although re-
dictionary powers blew up the
summit conference in Paris, the
next summit conference will
take place in six or eight
months.
Under these circumstances
it is sensible to wait a bit and
try by common efforts of all
the victorious powers to seek a
solution of the question of the
signature of a treaty of peace
with the two German states
which actually exist"
Will Wait on Treaty
Mr.. Khrushchev has said
that if he is forced to sign a
separate treaty with Commu-
mist East Germany the Big
Three'S garrisons will lose their
rights to stay in Berlin.
1--WE do not let this subject
tof a treaty. out of our sight,"
he said. Let's wait a bit. 1t
will ripen better"
Repeatedly he leveled his
sights at President Eisenhower,
whom he denounced in Paris in
personal terms and blamed for
the collapse Of the summit
conference.
THE question is whether
reasonable coexistence or the
cold war will win the upper
hand" the Soviet Premier said.
President Eisenhower has
greater DIFFICULTIES than I. With
us, there exists complete unity
of our foreign and domestic
policy.
In the United States there
are strong and powerful forces
which are not interested in an
end to the cold war"
Responds to Greeting
There was a faint smile on
the Premier'S face as he re-
sponded to the greeting of 5000
East German Communists
packed in Werner Seelenbin-
derhall.
But he turned solemn as he
addressed a few words in Rus
sian to the crowd. Then he
stood silently while a trans
lator took over for him and
read his speech in German.
His accusation of struggle in
the United States reversed the
usual belief that there was a
hidden struggle going on in the
Kremlin which obliged the
Communist leader to take a
hard attitude toward his re-
pudiated friend, President Eli

Atlas Is Fired
1000 Miles
To Sea Target
Longest Missile Shot
On Record FuIIs
Into lndiun Ocean

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla,
May 20 (AP) A United States
Atlas missile streaked 5000
miles in 521a minutes today in
a record-smashing flight past
the tip of Africa to a chosen
target area in the Southern
Indian Ocean.
Satisfaction with the results
was apparent in an Air Force
announcement that first re-
ports indicated "all test OBJ
jectives were achieved"
The list of objectives in
cluded the 9,000-mile flight
far exceeding any previously
recorded missile shot, and i'm
pact in a target area small
enough to demonstrate the
accuracy required for military
effectiveness.
1t was the longest surface
to-surface missile fight or
record, surprising the 7,76C
miles claimed by the Russians
for a rocket they launched into
the Central Pacific last Janu-
ary 20. The longest previous
Atlas fight was 6,325 miles.
Near Prince Edward Isles
The mighty Atlas rose from
this missile test center at IL
am. An hour later the Ali
Force reported the rockeS had
successfully dropped its tacti-
cal-type nose cone in. the in
tended impact area 1000 miles
southeast of Capetown, South
Africa, and about 500 miles
northeast Of the British-owned
Prince Edward Islands.
An official said the Atlas was
aimed at a point exactly 5000
miles from Cape Canaveral.
An announcement said, "Pre-
liminary telemetry data indi-
Gates that all test objectives
were achieved.
Driven by 100000 pounds oi
thrust generated by three big
engines, the 85-foot, 120-tor
Atlas lifted smoothly from it:
pad.
Two United States planes
and one ship, all packed with
electronic detection and track
ing equipment, were stationed
in the impact zone to warn
shipping from the area and
track the nose cones blazing
re- ENTRY through the earth's
atmosphere. There was no plan
to recover the cone.
Part of Regular Program
The Air Force emphasized the
interocean shot was part of the
continuing Atlas research and
development program and not
a propaganda stunt to better
the distance achieved by the
Soviet super rocket"
1--WE want to subject the
componentS of the Atlas to ex-
treme conditions at maximum
range" an official said. This is
not a stripped-down missile,
but one carrying a full instru-
mentation load of about 1000
pounds. The fuel load has not
been increased. The extra dis
tance is achieved by increasing
the velocity of the missile and
firing it on a higher trajectory"
The missile carried a tactical
type nose cone weighted with
ballast to simulate the weight
Of a hydrogen warhead.

President Nixon, congressional
leaders and members of the
diplomatic corps.
After brief remarks at the
airport, Mr.. Eisenhower's mo-
torcade was to begin a leisurely
l5-mile trip to the White
House.
The crowds along the flag
draped route were swelled by
many Of the city's 117,000 pub
lie school children and $4,000
parochial students. who were
excused from classes early.
Thousands of District and
Federal Government employees
lined the streets in the bright
sunshine to pay tribute to Mr..
Eisenhower.

Washington in his orange-and-
silver jet plane from Lisbon,
Portugal.
Stress Common Cause
In a brief farewell speech at
Lisbon's Portela Airport, he
said his talks with Portuguese
President America Tomaz and
Premier Antonio Oliveira "once
again confirmed the spirit of
friendship and good will that
has always characterized the
relations between Portugal and
the United States"
Mr.. Eisenhower declared that
all Of US realize that we are
united in q common cause and
that each of US, in his own
way, shares a part Of the re-
sponsibility Of striving for a
peaceful and better world" the
Associated Press reported.
:. The President plans to report
to the Nation-probably early
next week-about his unsuc-
cessful efforts in Paris to re-
solve the issues dividing East
and West.
Unlike last Saturday when
the President left for the sum-
NIT without ceremony from
Andrews, a large reception had
been planned to welcome him
home.
The city took on a holiday
air, with pennants and flags
draping his route back to the
White House.
One Remark Typical
Typical of the thousands
who turned out to greet Mr..
Eisenhower was Mrs. Ada
Butcher of 2403 E street NE.
Mrs. Butcher, who stationed
herself near the curb in front
Of the White House, said:

what he did and I'm here to
welcome him"

In the 1905 with the coming
of the war, homeSteaders were
ordered off the islands, Sitkalidak
and the Aleutians. Jack McCord
made some trips back and forth
from Kodiak TO Sitkalidak, guided
through the mine fields, to slaugh-
ter the cattle herd he had pain
Stakingly built up. He spent some
of these years in the east; the
highlight of the year 1854 was his
initiation into the famed Explar-
er's Club at the invitation and
sponsorship OF Lowell Thomas,
Rex Beach and Karl Loman.
In 1947 the Subcommittee of
Territorial and Insular Posses
sions held hearings in Washington
on the practically of statehood
for Alaska. 1t was one of many
such hearings along the torturous
route to statehood and to it were
invited AlaSkans who had played
important parts in the accomplish
ed fact of development of the
territory. Jack McCord appeared
and presented unique and sound
ideas for the further settling of
the northland, and its economic
development.
The years passed, business ven-
tures, restocking his ranch, a mis-
sion in Mexico for the govern
ment, and finally in 1857, forty
two years after their first meeting,
his marriage in London to Grace
Doering, the lovely lady, who in
her own right is a prominant law
yer.
The marriage had all the fea-
lures of romantic tale. Here was
gentle women of note, then
President of the National Women
Lawyers of the United States,
their delegate to the American
Bar Associations Both. Annual
Conference, and the handsome adj
venturer-rancher from the North,
marrying amid the fury and pomp
of an international conference.
There was the Queens garden
party at Buckingham Palace, there
were receptions and dinners, a
banquet addressed by the Honor
able Winston Churchill himself,
and the wedding at Caxton Hall
with an honor guard of handsome
Marines and the American Ambas-
Sador to give the bride away.
Later that same year Jack Nc
Cord was back in Alaska, this time
looking into the possibilities of
OIL developments in the Arctic
should the government approve
opening up some 10000 acres adj
jacent to the Navy Oil reserve
lands. He pushed to get it done
and it was done, as well as the
scale to private investors of drill
ing equipment no longer needed
by the Navy.
This might be the end of the
story Gas told here it is only part
of the story but as long as Jack
McCord lives there will be some
thing doing, some star somewhere,
and a wagon that needs hitching.

)diak Island group.
There followed several years of
attempts to get the Aleutian Is
lands, which Mr.. McCord felt
should be opened up to homestead
ing, out from under a rule that
kept the chain for bird refuge
On the basis of knowledge gained
at the time of the round the world
flight, he went aboard the Unalga
on her annual summer cruise
through the Aleutians. On his re-
turn, in characteristic fashion, Jack
McCord took the matter to an in
formal meeting of the Cabinet and
to President Coolidge himself. The
decision was swift: the Aleutian
chain was freed for demonstrating.
But there was as yet no grazing
law to permit the McCord dream
of having Sitkalidak Island for fur
farming and ranching. Oddly
enough, in all the history of this
country there had never been a
grazing law of any sort though
one would surely have prevented
the bloody range wars of the early
West.
Jack McCord's efforts to get a
grazing lease bill through Con-
gress were finally realized; the
bill passed Congress on March 4th.,
1927.
Il had my own papers for Sitka-
lidak Island waiting on the land
Bureaus desk; it took little
while to get through but now
could settle there and raise foxes
and cattle and sheep as I'd hoped
and planned to do for so long"
Writers at the time gave Mr.. Nc
Cord full credit for pushing the
fur lease and grazing bills through
Congress. They were in his interest
but in the interest of all Alaskans,
and of the ranchers to the south
as we'll. In telling the story of this
legislation Mr.. McCord says, 81
think the reason Washington lis
tened to me was that have always
gone there on my own, and at my
own expense. / was never a lobby
ist in the sense that other interest
groups are because I was never
in anybody's pay; that's unusual
in Washington.
Sometimes" he said, 81 think
the difficulties in my life have
been the most fun-without diff
ficulties l would never have gone
to Washington, DC, or many of
the places I've gone, nor would I
have met so many of the people
I've known. 1t never ceases to
amaze me how a prospector and
rancher from the north can have
known presidents and cabinet
judges and senator's
all those famous people. It's been
an interesting world and lots of
fun"
In the years following Jack Nc
Cord spent most of his time build
ing his herds on Sitkalidak; he es-
tablished trading post and a post
office by the name of McCord on
his island, and to this day mail
addressed to him at McCord,
Alaska, will reach him, though
letter may not go by way of the
