High Praise Given
To Ray Decker
NUM- Always Pilot

Gene Morris, State Police Of
ficer, can't find enough words
of praise for NUM- pilot, Ray
Decker and the way he handled
the plane in which he was flying
last Tuesday which was forced
down at Spruce Creek enroute to
Nome from White Mountain.
Morris relates how the oil line
broke and oil sprayed the wind
shield of the plane so that Decker
only had side window, through
which he sought a landing that
had a suitable shelter. He made
perfect landing looking only out
the side window, near the Spruce
Creek cabin of Charlie Moon.
Decker was unable to raise
Nome on the radio, but a Una
lakeet listener picked up their
call and relayed it to Nome.
In the meantime Morris with a
prisoner from White Mountain
hustled wood and soon had a fire
going in the stove and broke out
the planes rations.
AS the weather here made is
impossible for planes to 60 to
their relief, Roy Snyder Of FAA
in Weasel and accompanied by
Frank Ahnangnatoguk made the
trip to Spruce Creek with oil and
food arriving there on Wednes-
day evening and returning to
Nome about 200 a. m. Thursday
with the three men.
Snyder and Ahnangnatoguk ran
into a blizzard between Solomon
and Spruce Creek but were able
to keep on their course to the
disabled plane.
Morris observed that he had
never thought much of canned
rations but they really tasted
mighty good on this trip.

Mans First Rocket
Ride Set for
Early Spring

WASHINGTON (R - The first
American manned rocket ride is
set for early spring if a large
ape survives the jolt of a blast
off from Cape Canaveral early
in 1861.
The House Committee on Sci
ence and Astronautics made this
prediction in a man-in-space re-
port Friday.
Despite setbacks in recent tests,
Chairman Overton Brooks, Ola,
pictures the U. S. standing "on
the threshold of a major flight
test program of short and long
range ballistic flights, leading
first to unnamed, and later on
to manned orbital flight late in
1861, if all goes we'll"
The report, based on informa-
ton supplied by the Defense De-
partment and the National Aero
nautics and Space Administration,
NASA set next March or April
as the date for the first manned
rocket ride. One of the Mercury
Astronauts will be strapped in a
capsule and shot well over 100
miles up by an Army Redstone
Missile.
This first space ride will last
a matter of minutes. Ships will be
ready to fish the capsule from
the Atlantic Ocean.
An earlier trial, using the same
kind of rocket and capsule, will
have chimpanzee as passenger.
If all goes well with the first
manned space probes, the pay
off will come next fall, when the
first attempt will be made to put
a man into a satellite in space,
and keep him there long enough
to complete several orbits of the
earth.

New Years Message

Gov. Egan issued a message to-
day which he is grateful for
the opportunity to extend
every good wish to Alaskans
everywhere for a Happy New
Year. AS 1860 becomes history,
it is fittinv that we assess the &C.
complishments of the past twelve
months and approach the New Year
hopefully and confidently.
"This will be another three-day
holiday for most Alaskans. In
clement weather in some areas
of our state continues to create
hazardous d ri wing conditions.
Once again I caution motorists
to drive with care and thereby
insure that we maintain the rec
ord of no traffic fatalities which
was achieved in our state over
the Christmas holidays"

Okay Has to be Given
Before First Nuclear Ship
Starts Its Power Plant

WASHINGTON R-The Atomic
Energy Commission said safety
aspects of the Savannah, the
worlds first nuclear-powered
merchant ship, would be consider
ed at public hearing before any
okay is given to start its nuclear
power plant.
Acc also released report
which concluded that, in general,
the Savannah's reactor could be
operated without undue hazard
to the health and safety of the
public provided certain restric-
tons are imposed.
One of the restrictions listed
was that the reactor be operated
at no more than 10 per cent of
full power in the planned start
up at Camden, N. j., where the
ship is docked at the yards of its
builder, the New York Shipbuild-
ing Corp.
The committee suggested this
as a means of avoiding "a risk,
however SMALL" from accidental
release of radioactivity in the
highly populated Camden area.

Nixon Turns Down
Invite to TV Show
Praising Ike

WASHINGTON u Vice Pres
ident Nixon has turned down an
invitation to participate in "Tri-
butte to a Patriot" TV show prais-
ing President Eisenhower.
Nixon's Press Secretary Herbert
G. Klein, said there were two
reasons Nixon declined the invi-
tation:
"The key time when they want
ed him to tape a part of the pro-
gram came when he had to be
out of town.
"In addition he has adopted a
policy not to go on television for
a while. This is not permanent,
but he thinks that in Difference to
Mr.. Kennedy he should not for
the time being do anything public
ly in the way Of television appear
ances, news conferences or the
like. He has turned down other
shows beside this one."
Klein added, "as for anything
between himself and the Presi-
dent-of course he has saluted the
President many times in the past
and will do so many times in
the future. It isn't necessary that
he do it on any one particular TV
show"
The NBC program will portray
Eisenhower's career from boy
hood to the Presidency. 1t is
scheduled for Jan. 10.

Father LlOrente
Sends Resignation
From State House
BY Ward Sims
R Staff Writer

JUNEAU LH1 - A Roman CdCn-
Ollie priest from Alakanuk who
was elected to the State House
of Representatives by written
votes Nov. has written letter
resigning from the House, the
Associated Press learned today.
The letter of resignation au-
thored by Father Segundo Lilo
rente, S. j., missionary of Is
years standing in Alaska, has not
reached Juneau. 1t was halted at
Fairbanks.
While Father Llorente has not
disclosed his reasons for writing
the letter of resignation, there
were unconfirmed reports in Ju-
neau and in Anchorage that pres
sure had been applied from an I'M
known source to force the resig-
nation.
In Juneau, there were also I'M
confirmed reports that the resig-
nation was tied in some manner
to fish-buying activities in the
Yukon Delta area where Father
Llorente lives.
During the campaign, litera-
ture was mailed to residents of
the area urging voters to write in
Father Llorente's name on the
Nov. 8 ballot. The literature was
mailed from Seattle. 1t was sign
ed only Committee for Good
Government" .
The letter of resignation was
sent to Bishop Francis Gleeson
of Fairbanks, Roman Catholic
Bishop from Northern Alaska,
along with 4ote requesting him
to forward tt e resignation to Gov.
Egan if he, Bishop Gleason, felt
the resignation should be sent on.
Bishop Gleeson told the Asso-
ciated Press in a telephone in
terview he had advised the Ala
kanuk priest that he should be
the one to make the final de-
cision on whether to resign.
Father Llorente said in the note
which accompanied the resigna-
ton, Bishop Gleason said, Of
several reasons why there would
be difficulties if he did go to
Juneau"
The Bishop declined to divulge
the nature of the reasons adj
vanced by Father Llorente, say
ing he "would rather not have
them discussed in the press"
Father Llorente was one of two
ministers elected to the House of
Representatives on Nov. 8. The
other was Kenneth Garrison, a
Lay Minister in the Church of
God, who was also elected by
written votes. Garrison will repre-
sent the Goth District.
Born in Leon, Spain, Father
Llorente came to the U. S. as a
Jesuit student in 1880. He was
ordained into the priesthood in
Kansas in 1884.
He came to Alaska a year later
as missionary at Kotzebue. In
succeeding years he served at
Bethel, Akulurak, Kwiguk, Shell
dons Point and at Alakanuk.

Year 1860 Ends;
1901 Begins
Time Is a IHeartbeat
BY John O. B. Wallace

oy S0AAA ~ IL w oAAoNS
NEW YORK Up - Late tonight
the hands of the clock will merge
precisely. Midnight!
Time, as measured by man.
will die for flashing instant. And
instantly it will be reborn.
The year 1860 ends: 1861 be-
gins.
But time, in this brief void, can
not be measured by man as he
would measure a meadow - in
rods. Nor as he would measure
an ocean - in miles.
Time, in this instant, is a
heartbeat and can be found in
the hearts of men - some heavy
with anguish, some light with
hope.
Pope John XIII, at his special
New Years audience for diplo-
mats, spoke of the anxiety in his
heart.
But he also said he was search
ing on the dawn of this New Year
"to find in the uncertainty of an
agitated world, some glimmer
promising serenity"
AS the 79-year-old head of the
Roman Catholic Church spoke,
man fought man on the continents
of Europe, Asia and Africa.
In Asia, it was the blood bath
in Laos.
In Europe, it was rioting in Bel
GUM.
In Africa, it was war between
opposing factions in the Congo,
and racial tension further to the
south.
So, on the first day Of the
New Year, the head of the worlds
peace organization, United Ma
tons Secretary General Dag Ham,
marskjold, will be flying to some
of these trouble spots, seeking
peace.
Hammarskjold will talk with
Congo President Joseph Kasa-
vubu in an effort to avoid pos
sible civil war between followers
of Kasavubu and his leading
rival, Patrice Lumurnba, former
Congolese Premier now impri-
soned by Kasavubu's army.
Then iHammarskjold will jour-
ney to South Africa to discuss
steps aimed at easing the tension
caused by South Africa's racial
segregation policies.
Hammarskjold also will visit
Canal Abdel Nasser, President
of the United Arab Republic, and
Prime Minister Nehru of India.
On the home front, 1861 prom
ised to be an eventful year for
Americans.
On Jan. 20, a new President,
John Fitzgerald Kennedy, will as
sumo the heavy cares of the most
important public office in the
free western world.
President Dwight D. Eisen-
hover on that day will retire from
eight years of the same heavy
cares, a period of constant world
turmoil.
Government economists closed
their books on the old year and
expressed cautious optimi S m
about the new.
They said they expected the
American economy to pick up no
later than spring months although
unemployment was likely to con-
tinue heavy for the next few
