West Notifies Reds
 Berlin High Flights Will be Resumed

BERLIN, R = The Soviet Elm bassy in East Berlin said yester- day resumption of high-altitude flights to Berlin by Western Big Three planes would be violating past practices.
 But an embassy spokesman de- clined to say whether Soviet fight CT planes would be sent up against U. S., British or French planes flying above the 10,000-foot ceiling imposed by the Soviet Union on isolated Berlin's air corridors.
 Soviet fighter planes buzzed but did not attack U. S. supply planes last April, when they defied the ceiling rule. None of the Big Three recognizes the ceiling.
 The United States halted the high altitude flights at the prompt ing of the British, who feared a serious incident. A report from Washington Monday said the AL lies are notifying Moscow of their intention to resume the high alti- tude flights.
 "If we can get something con- crete in the form of a note," the Soviet spokesman said, "then we can talk about it. Naturally, we would have to talk with our al- lies, especially the East Germans, about it.'
 He indicated that any high-al- titude flights would be considered a violation of East Germany's air space.
 The flights would have a double purpose: To demonstrate that giant C-130 cargo planes = which fly more efficiently at attitudes above 10000 feet - could be used 1 to supply West Berlin, and to show that the Allies would not allow Moscow to dictate to them on flight levels or anything else involving Berlin.

House Carries Through Longest Days Work with Action on II Items

JUNEAU, LR = Floor opposi- ton was expressed on only one bill Monday as the House handled it's longest calendar of the ses- sion, acting on II measures.
 Six bills, three resolutions and two memorials were approved.
 The opposition came when five lawmakers protested bill to re- fer a study of proposed state ferry system to the Legislative Council. Democrat Dora Sweeney of Juneau said she felt including a study of the feasibility of haul ing freight in the service might discourage private enterprise from offering such service.
 Two of the resolutions would:
 Direct the Legislative Council to make a comprehensive study of the States bounty system.
 Urge Warner Brothers Studio to hold it's World Premiere of the motion picture, "Ice Palace," in Alaska.
 The eighth and last Adminis- tration measure to set up Alaska $ penal system was passed. It would permit Alaska to be a party to the interstate compact on run away juveniles. The other seven measures were passed last week and sent to the Senate.
 Five other bills, just out of House committees, were also ap- proved. They would
 Give time off from jobs to vote
 Permit $200,000 transfer from the motor vehicle fund to the water and harbor facilities fund
 Bring the election of judges un. der the proposed state election code.
 Prohibit the accumulation of debris, as a safety measure.
 Clarify requirements for the annual assessment of labor on state mining claims.

Gov. Egan Proclaims Friday, March 4,
 World Day of Prayer

The Governor of Alaska, Will liam A. Egan, urges by proclama- tion that the World Day of Prayer. which is Friday, March 4, be ob- served throughout the state, as it is throughout the world, where humble people, regardless of race, color or creed, living against a background of international ten sion and uncertainty, bow their heads and lift up their hearts to the Almighty in prayer"
 The Governor urged that Our citizens, wherever possible, at tend World Day of Prayer serv- ices, or to pause for a minute of prayer at high noon, to ask the Almighty to give us, in all our humility, the guidance to meet and solve the problems of our times" !"
 The World Day of Prayer was started originally in 1887, when some Presbyterian women in the United States designed day of prayer for home missions. This grew, and different groups ap- pointed special days of prayer for special purposes. In 1941, the Uni ted Council of Church Women ac- cepted responsibility for planning and promoting the service. Now the day is observed in more than 125 geographical areas abroad, and in over 10000 communities in the United States
 The World Day of Prayer is observed all over the world, start ing on the Tonga Islands, where Queen Salote leads her devout subjects in prayer, and continues throughout the day, closing with the observance at St. Lawrence Island. As Nome is in the same time zone as St. Lawrence Is land, the evening service at the Community Methodist Church at 7:30 will probably be where the Day of Prayer ends.
 This service is held through the cooperation of six of the local Protestant churches: Methodist, Lutheran, Covenant, Nazarene, Assembly of God, and Nome Cos pei Home, under the sponsorship of the United Church Women of the National Council of Churches.
 The service will include organ music by Harriet Brown, vocal offertory music by the Covenant trio. Ushers will be Lutheran Women; altar decorations by the Nazarene women. programs by the Methodist Women, and bene- diction by Miss Maxine Book.
 Under the auspices of the Nome Ministerial Association, a noon service will be held at the Naza- rene from 12 to 1 pm, in which all seven Protestant churches will participate. This is open to the public.

Senate Passed Bill Gains Quicker
 School Tax Funds

JUNEAU, R - The Senate passed unanimously Monday a bill to require payment of the S10 annual school tax at the same time Alaska income taxes are paid.
 Sen. Al Owen, Uganik Bay Democrat who heads the Senate Finance Committee, said the bill is designed to bring in about $24O,000 a year in school tax pay ments that now go uncollected.
 Part of the money will go for pay increases for educators pro- vided in a bill which also passed the Senate Monday on 200 vote.
 The pay increases would total about 119 million dollars. Owen said $650,000 is expected to be absorbed by administrative steps designed to increase the average number of pupils per classroom without requiring the hiring of additional teachers.
 Even so, Owen said some $610,- 900 in new revenue will be needed in the coming year to finance the pay boosts.
 The Finance Committee will study methods of raising the money.
 The pay increases will mean a minimum of $100 year more in the pay of beginning teachers and up to S1,800 a year to experienced teachers in the highest classifica- tions who have been in the Alaska school system more than l2 years.
 Salaries of school superinten- dents would be increased from $l,000 to $1,900 year. School principals, who now receive $500 more annually than classroom teachers, would move up along with teachers in the various pay brackets.
 The bill would also establish graduation among teacher ranks Those with bachelor degrees and 20 semester hours of graduate study would receive S2O0 more than teachers with the same eX- perience ratings and bachelor de- grees, but lacking the 20 hours of additional study.
 Owen said there was no doubt the higher salary schedules would cost more money, but said they represented an investment in the youth of the state that could not be ignored.
 Both bills now go to the House where the salary increase measure may encounter some difficulty House passage of both measures, however, seems assured.

Mercy AirHft

The Army and the Air Force deserve
the highest commentator for the speed
and efficiency Of the mammoth airlift
which has carried medical relief to the
stricken coastal. regions of Chile. Vast
as it is, however, the movement of field
hospitals, water publication teams and
military housekeeping units can provide
only initial emergency measures. For
this is one of the worst natural cataS-
trophies of modern times, and every
news dispatch seems to increase the
degree of horror. 1t is now feared that
the toll of dead and missing from the
weeklong earthquakes and seismic sea
waves may approach 5000, with the
staggering number of million made
homeless.
Surely this country, in its abun-
dance, will want to open its, heart in
every way possible to the ChileanS.
Money will be needed, and the organiza-
tions of CARE and the American Red
Cross are prepared to channel such con-
tributions to the point where they will
do the greatest good. Other forms of re-
quired assistance should become evident
soon. Among them, it seems obvious
that the essentials of food, clothing and
shelter will be needed in tremendous
quantity to alleviate the numbing effects
of the devastation.

criticism Of Mr. Nasser, presumably
meaning press, radio and TV criticism,
it might be some consolation to him to
know that there is equally violent criti-
cism in the same media Of our own
public figures. 1t should also be pointed
out that the comparable media in the
U. A. r., controlled for the most part by
Mr. NaSSer'S own government, are often
guilty of outrageously irresponsible at
tackS on the United States.
Mr. Fulbright has attempted in the
past to find some constructive new ap-
proach to the problems of the Middle
East and our proper interest in them.
His visit to the area in this instance was
timely one. And although the summit
crisis in Paris, and the events leading up
to it, have plunged him into a different
problem, fuller exposition of his find-
ings and opinions on the Middle East
could be of great value. We hope he will
find an opportunity soon to deal with
this matter.

FuIbriqht Report

Chairman Fulbright of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, comment
ing on his recent trip to the Middle East,
reports that he found President NaSSer
OF the United Arab Republic reason
able man who has become extremely
sensitive" to certain actions and criti-
cismS in this country He found him
particularly "reSentful" toward the
amendment of the Mutual Security
Authorization Act recommending that
foreign aid be withheld from nations
that restrict the use of international
WaterWays-obviously directed at U. A. R.
controls over the Suez Canal-and the
recent maritime union boycott against
unloading an Arab ship in the Port of
New York
These are at least understandable
reactions. And for the record, Chairman
Fulbright and the State Department op-
posed both of these actions as unwise
efforts at coercion. The boycott has
been lifted. The mutual security amend
ment is not binding, although how or
whether it will be applied is not vet
known. AS for the nongovernmental

knew very well that Mr.. Kaul
would be in Virginia Beach at
the convention. 1t was en-
barraSsing to his constituents
for him not to appear at

ton is: Did he stay away be-
cause he had received a call
telling him representatives

Toss on the Job

The Washington bureau of Tass, the
official Soviet news agency, is not letting
any grass grow under its feet. Certainly
the man in charge-Mikhail R. Saga
telyan-haS shown splendid initiative in
connection with the Senate Foreign Re-
lationS Committee and it's inquiry into
the why's and whereforeS of the downing
OF our U-2 "Spy plane" deep inside
Russia.
At any rate, having heard of the
committees decision to publish censored
copies of the testimony before it, Mr..
Sagatelyan has lost not a minute in
ordering the official transcripts. These
promise to be highly informative, and
they should cost the Kremlin only
few dollars, relatively speaking. The
whole thing, obviously, will be tremen-
douS bargain in that sense-so much so
that Mr.. Sagatelyan, if he has the heart
OF sport, or is under instructions from
the blow-hot- -blow-cold Kremlin to ease
tensions temporarily in Washington,
ought to order drinks on the house for
everybody he happens to find in the
Press Club bar
Anyhow, an American correspondent
would do the same in Moscow If the
Kremlin served up little tidbits of infor-
nation about a similar investigation
intos Nikita KhruShchevs conduct of
affairs before, during and after the
abortive summit conference in Paris
Why can't we have this sort of reci-
procity? We pause for reply from Mos
COW, and also from Mr. sagatelyan right
here in our own home town.

Why Draft Him?

New York'S Governor Rockefeller
has said that while he doesn't expect the
lightning to strike, he is available if the
Republicans should decide to draft him
as their presidential candidate. Actually,
this is such long shot that it is little
hard to understand why the Governor
is taking this stand.
When he announced last December
that he would not be candidate for the
nomination he gave as reason his con-
cluSion that "the great majority of those
who will control the Republican conven-
ton stand opposed to any contest for
the nomination" This suggestion of a
boSSed convention was hardly calculated
to help G. o. P. chances this November.
Behind this reference to the party
bosses, however, lay the results Of care
ful soundings by the Governor, especially
in the Midwest These showed a no
table lack of enthusiasm for a Rookie
feller candidacy among the. Republican
rank and file as well as among those
who will control the convention.
Although conceding that Vice Pres
ident Nixon probably will be the Repub-
lican nominee, Mr. Rockefeller refused
to say anything good about him at
a press conference Wednesday. He
even refused to say fatty that he would
support Mr.. Nixon II he should be
nominated
In these circumstances, why should
there be any G. o. p move to draft Gov
ernor Rockefeller? We don't think there
will be. Presumably, the Governor is
banking on the uncertainties which
surround the collapse of the scheduled
summit meeting and the possible con-
sequences of that collapse. 1t is barely
conceivable that the international sit
uation could become so bad that the
convention might shy away from Mr..
Nixon and his close identification with
the Eisenhower foreign policies. But if
that should happen, and Mr.. Rockefeller
were to be drafted" in those circum-
stances for the nomination, it wouldn't
be worth much on election day.

ence. AS men of good will of
all nations recoil from his
pathological rawlings and lis
ten to the calm. clear counsel
of Foster Dulles, there is one
affirmation of holy writ. so
dear to the one who left us
a year ago, which is suggested
by even glance at the two
individuals and the social
systems for which they speak:
BY their fruits ye shall know
them!"
How glad I am now that,
when a few months before
his death he was standing so
firmly in the midst of un-
fair criticism, I wrote him a
note in which I said: Every
day we thank God for you in
these days of destiny. Times
without number I have felt
like throwing my hat as high
as the Washington Monu-
ment as, again and again, in
every trying crisis you have
refused to be flexible when
that policy would have meant
appeasement, and have re-
fused to be browbeaten by
the bullying tyrants of the
Kremlin."
Now, in the sacramental
volume to which We have re-
ferred, and which we urge
every American to get, the
soul and message Of this
great Secretary of State
go marching on. To our
baftled and troubled times
there was a man sent from
God whose name was John.
The message which burned
like fire in his bones was the
supremacy Of universal moral
law as that law is incarnated
and eXemplified in Jesus
Christ.
In the fulfillment of the
Masters formula, Love thy
neighbor as thyself." he saw
the healing of humanity's
open sores as that principle
girdS the needy earth. He
proclaimed that any attempt
to fence privilege in will re-
suit in disaster, inside the
fence and outside. To him,
atheiStic totalitarianism was
malignant because it violates
the dignity of the individual
man as a child of God. He
saw the true nature of its
threat mirrored in Shakes
peare'S phrase-"Like the
smiling flower and like the
serpent under it,"
We close with lines that I
sent to this man of Christian
faith as with unafraid eyes
he greeted the unseen with
a cheer:
OF mounds and sore defeat I
made my battle stdy:
Winged sandals for my feet I

OF bitterness and fear / made
