.Vapor Trails Over Canada Assumed
 To be Russ Planes

OTTAWA, R - Vapor trails of high-flying mystery planes have led to a general assumption here that Soviets occasionally make reconnaissance flights over north ern Canada and Alaska.
 The Canadian press, however, said that as far as can be learned there has never been a positive identification of a Soviet plane flying over north Canada.
 As a rule, all that has been sighted have been vapor trails, due to condensation, from planes so high that they themselves could not be seen.
 These vapor trails have been seen over the Queen Elizabeth Is- lands-Canada's North Archipel- ago-at time when it was known that no Canadian or US. planes were in the area.
 Authorities here have said they believe the only purpose of such Highs would apparently be to take high-level photographs of airfields connected with the DEW Line.
 It is said that Soviet recon naissance flights over the Can adian north began at least as early as 1854.

Bartlett Appalled, By RumOrs of Cutback In Alaska Military Strength

WASHINGTON, R- Sen. Bob Bartlett said today it is appalling to even consider a cutback in Alaska-based military strength, in view of the Russian situation.
 Bartlett said he cut short trip to Alaska last weekend after hearing rumors about plans to re- duce air fighter strength at Ladd Air Force Base.
 The Alaska congressional dele gation is trying to arrange meet ing with Defense officials, to get the facts," Bartlett said.
 "It is appalling, absolutely" Bartlett said, "that plahs are being made that might cut further the forces in being in Alaska.
 "That this is even being con- sidered at time when our rela- tionship with Russia has not fun damentally altered, when Alaska remains as strategically important as ever, is beyond comprehension" !"

 State Republicans, ending a three = day convention, pledged Alaska delegates to Nixon on the first ballot at the Chicago con- clave. Alaska Republicans took no action to endorse by resolu- tion a possible Vice Presidential nominee.
 Walter Hickel, an Anchorage contractor, and Tillie Reeve, wife of an Anchorage airline owner, were reelected as members of the Republican National Committee from Alaska.
 w. w. Laws of Nome was named as one of the delegates, and Mrs. Vesta Sundstrom was named an alternate.

Bill Beltz' Condition
 Satisfactory After 5-Hour Brain Operation Friday

ANCHORAGE, R-Alaska Sen ate President William E. Beltz is in satisfactory condition after un- dergoing a five-hour brain opera ton Friday at the Alaska Native Hospital here.
 He was placed on the hospitals seriously ill list Friday, although the operation was successful.
 His wife is in Anchorage and remained at the hospital during the operation.
 Beltz entered the hospital about a week ago for examination. Shortly before the end of the last legislative session at Juneau he collapsed on the Senate floor and was forced to take a rest from his duties.
 There was no indication when he would leave the hospital. How ever, most patients leave hos pital about two weeks after sim liar operation, if there are no complications.

 The Governor told reporters he had visited Distant Early Warn ing station in northern Alaska and watched as DEW line crews track ed flights in the air in the north ern sky.

President Calls
 Special Security Advisers Meeting

WASHINGTON, R- President Eisenhower arranged an unusual meeting of his top strategy ad- visers for today amid continuing worldwide clamor over the Am erican spy-plane incident.
 The National Security Council, headed by Eisenhower, usually meets on Thursday. White House press secretary Hagerty told news men that shifting the weekly ses- sion to today had "no connection whatever" with the plane episode.
 However, it seemed entirely un- likely that the Council--the na- tion's top security planning unit would meet without some discus sion of the shooting down of an American plane and pilot by the Russians.
 In a sensational development over the weekend, the United States confessed that the plane was on spy mission.
 Hagerty said the Council meet ing was moved ahead from Thurs day because Eisenhower will be leaving Saturday for Paris to at tend the summit conference open ing week from today.
 Eisenhower was reported plan ming to follow up the incident by calling on Soviet Premier Khrush- chev at the Paris meeting to join in scrapping military secrecy.
 That move was understood to stem from determination not to take a defensive attitude on the matter when Eisenhower meets with the government chiefs of Britain, France and the Soviet Union.
 On another front, Walter Reu- ther, president of the United Auto Workers Union, told the AFL-CIO Industrial Union Department that the revelation represents "the most stupid blunder" in American history.
 Reuther said he was not pass ing judgment on what steps Am erican intelligence felt are neces- sary. But he said the changing story was an incredible bunder that gave the Russians a chance to challenge our credibility be- fore the world on everything else"
 The President is represented as feeling that the plane incident dramatizes the US. view that the "iron curtain" system of conceal ment is major foundation of the worlds tension and fear of war.
 The US. statement disavowed and personal responsibility of the President or any other Washing ton authority for the espionage mission. It said that an investi- gation ordered by the President showed that insofar is the au- thorities in Washington are con- cerned there was no authorization for any such flight as described by MT. Khurshchev."
 Officials would not go beyond that in reporting what the in- quiry had shown about who was responsible. The implication was that some lower official outside Washington ordered the flight.

SOviets ClOat Over Shooting Down of U. s. Spy Plane

MOSCOW, R - Pravda, the Communist party newspaper, to- day called Francis G. Powers jet flight over Soviet territory fur ther proof of the necessity for the highest Soviet vigilance against 
 Though officials gloated over the shooting down of the Ameri- can spy plane, some citizens seem- ed disturbed that it managed to get so deep into Soviet territory.
 Pravda denounced the U. s. State Departments explanation as and cynical and denied that other nations engaged in aerial espionage.
 "It is certainly no secret that.
 given the state of the world to-
 day. intelligence collection act
 ivities are practiced by all
 countries. and postwar history
 certainly reveals that the Soviet
 Union has not been tagging be-
 hind in this field" the U. s.
 statement said.
 Premier Khrushchev announced that the plane, before it was rock eted down, reached Sverdlovsk. some 1,400 miles northwest of the Pakistani border over which it crossed. The average Soviet re- acted like Americans would at news Soviet plane had been in- tercepted over Kansas.
 Anger and uneasiness were heightened by the suspicion that other American high-level planes had penetrated Soviet air space without being intercepted.
 In an attempt to reassure the people of the invincibility of the Soviet armed forces, the top mili- tary brass blanketed the papers with articles proclaiming the na- tion's ability to crush any aggres- Sor.
 The Soviet press poured out fresh details of the capture of pilot Francis G. Powers and lam pooned the United States in car toons and articles.
 The papers told how workers on state farm near Sverdlovsk came to Powers aid when he para chuted from his plane on May Day but turned him over to the authorities when they found he carried a pistol with silencer, dag ger, Soviet Union map, Soviet and foreign money, gold watches and women's gold rings, survival kit, fishing net, pliers and a saw edged knife.
 Khrushchev has indicated that Powers will be tried and said he might hold news conference on the case. US. Embassy officials said so far Ambassador Lewellyn Thompson had not tried to see Powers.
 Powers, a former US. Air Force lieutenant from Pound, Va, be- came a test pilot for Lockheed in 1856. His U2 jet, which was based in Adana, Turkey, was one of a fleet ostensibly used in weather research by the National Aero nautics and Space Adiministra- tlon. Apparently Powers actually was an agent of the US. Central Intelligence Agency.

A capacity crowd turned out for the Jaycee banquet Saturday evening at the Seaview Room, with the first president of the group, Barrow Morgan as toast master. He announced that there were 26 charter members with State Director being Conrad Pot ter; George Bell, vice president; Stan Harhut, secretary; Stan Mol itor, treasurer, and John Stolpe, member at large.

 Mayor Steffen Andersen, speak ing for the community, congratu- lated the group and outlined how vitally important they can be if they dedicate themselves to serv-- ing civically. He outlined the fol- lowing projects which the city needs help on as suggestions for worthy projects:
 l-An adequate swimming pool for the children, utilizing the warm water from the U.S.S.R. & M. Co. power plant.
 2-Making the cemetery some thing which the community can look upon with pride rather than shame. "Fourteen years ago, when I was on the council, we talked about fixing up the cemetery par ticularly because it is on the ap- preach from the airport The city is willing to help but we need young men to dol the planning and carry the project through"
 3-Library and museum build ing. "This needs study and plan ming as there are funds for this type of thing if you know where to look for it Nome has a colorful history which should be preserved"
 4-Picnic grounds east of the seawall. "This is beautiful stretch of beach where pople with out transportation could take chill dren during the day if it were cleaned up and all rubbish and cans removed"
