Chou Sets Out On
Fence-Mending Tour

TOKYO, R-Premier Chou En-

nation south Asian tour designed
to mend fences damaged by Red
China's actions in Tibet and Dor
der disputes with her neighbors.
The 64-year-old Communist pre-
mier will need all of his sauve
charm on his visits to Burma,
India and Nepal.
Communist suppression of the
uprising in Tibet shocked many
Asians who formerly were apollo
gists for the Peiping regime.
Movement of Chinese troops into

Infatuated the Indians. News that
the Chinese now are claiming Mt.
Everest upset the Nepalese, who
take great pride that their little
kingdom is the home of the
worlds highest mountain.

talks next week in New Delhi be-
tween Chou and Indian Prime
Minister Nehru on their dispute
over $1,000 square miles of Hima-

Nehru already has put dam

doubt that it would lead to any
immediate solution of the dispute.
At stake are $4,000 square miles

Navigational
System Satellite

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla, R-
The forerunner of a us. satellite
navigation system planned to give
sailors and airmen a good posi-
ton fix any time in any weather
was hurled successfully into or
bit around the earth today.
The experimental space navi-
gator, named Transit I-B was
rocketed aloft from this missile
test center in test with OBJ
viously heavy bearing on long
range missile operations.
1t was Navy project with air
Force rocketry help. The spon-
sorship UNDERSIGNED its special ap-
plication to the Polaris missile
firing submarine whose officers
will have to know their own po-
sition precisely to zero in on a
target hundreds of miles away.
The information from Transit
I-B and its successors, however,
is to be given to all nations.
Some four hours after the satel-
lite went up Navy and civilian
scientists said in Washington that
it was in path little less than
400 miles up, with an orbit time
of around 81 minutes. They had
been shooting at a height of 400
500 miles.
On the basis of preliminary
tracking scientists said Transit
I-B was in an orbit reasonably
circular. The nearer they come to
perfect circle with such a de-
vice the closer the navigational
fix that can be made.
The 265-pound spherical pay
load was hoisted on the nose of
a giant Thor-Able-Star rocket
combination just after dawn.

Seward City Council
Will Settle Dispute With
Union Electricians

ANCHORAGE, R-The Seward
city council meets tonight in what
is expected to be the last round
of the battle between the city and
the International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers.
The council must act upon a
two-year contract drawn up Mon
day between Seward City Attor-
ney Burton C. Bliss of Anchorage
and union officials.
Contract terms call for no wage
increases the first year, but a
seven per cent hike for the second
year. It also establishes union
shop, which requires employees
hired by the city to join the union
within 80 days.
The issue was touched off Sat-
urday when union members walk
ed off work at 8 am. and turned
off the electricity. They were pro-
testing the hiring of non-union
help by the city.
An emergency council meeting
with union heads led to resump-
ton of power four hours later, but
contract terms were not finally
hammered out until the meeting
here Monday.

City Dedicates
$68,l88 Real Taxes
To The School

AT the City Council meeting on
Monday evening it was reported
that the new City Jail, which
started operating in February in
the Federal Building, taking care
of Federal and State prisoners,
is just about breaking even. This
is according to a report for the
two months of operation submit
ted by Herb jerks, who is in
charge of the operation.
Total billings for the two
months are $6,651, with total cost
of operation $6,48O.06.
Council IMcIver brought up the
matter of a relief patrolman so
that the present crew could have
a day off each week. The matter
was deferred for action by the
new council.
Following the council meeting
the Board of Equalization met.
The board denied the request of
the hospital administrator that
the doctors residence, purchased
last year by the hospital, be tax
exempt Valuation of the property
was set at $1,000.
The request of Radio Station
KICY that their station and the
homes of personnel be exempted,
was also denied. Valuation was
set at $4,000 and $3,097 for the
residences and $4,000 on the
studio building and station man
ayers residence.
Total assessed valuation of the
City of Nome has decreased by
$4,000 under last year due to the
closing out of the NC. Cat Shop
and also because stores are carry
ing less stock, depending on air
shipment for supplies.
The tax rate was set at Is mills.
This will bring in $68, 1878 in
real and personal property taxes
and this amount was dedicated to
the Nome School.
The tentative school budget eX-
ceeds this by about $4,000 but
help has been promised by the
Bureau of Indian Affairs in the
amount of $12,500 for this year
and 100000 each year for the next
two years. The BIA relief to the
school is due to the impact of
students from native villages
which has greatly increased the
school attendance and necessita-
ting the hiring of several addi-
tional teachers.

it had been reported that the

today.
A joint communique issued
by the U. N. Command in Elisa

eminent said the occupation
will begin Immediately.
Eventually all the important
centers in the entire northern
region of Katanga and parts Of
the central region will be gar

Katanga government forces
will continue to occupy their
present positions. but the ar
rangement is that they viii not
be allowed to go into action

cupation. Baluba tribesmen
who favor deposed Premier Pa

If the new plan succeeds, 1t

Don't think we are giving

Mr.. Tshombe told a news con-

wisest course for both the
Katanga government and the
United Nations to take.

Tshombe had agreed to start
paying taxes to the central
government again and chan
neling foreign exchange through
it. Katanga's mines and rich
farmlands make it the coun'
try's wealthiest province, but
the province has made no con-
tribution to the central admin
istration since Mr.. TShombe
proclaimed Katanga's inde-
pendence. AS q result, the cen
trail government has been badly
strapped.
Col. Mobutu also said he did
not consider Mr.. Tshombe q
secessionist. HE Is for unity
with diversity" the colonel said
He did not explain.
FavOrs Federation
Before making Q clean break
with Leopoldville, Mr.. Tshombe
had favored q loose federation
