 Committee Submit
 Teachers Pay Raise Bill

JUNEAU LR - The House Vel fare and Education Committee in trodueed it's version of a teachers pay raise bill.
 It calls for increases which would total out at a cost of about $1,500,000 for fiscal 1861, and S500,000 additional in fiscal 1862.
 The measure would start teach CTS with bachelors degrees and no teaching experience in Alaska at S6,000, and teachers with masters degrees at $6,200. Those with only three years of training would start at $4,800.
 Maximum wage in 1861 would be $5,400 for teachers with three years of training and four years experience in Alaska; $6,900 for holders of bachelors degrees with six years of Alaska teaching; and $7 400 for those with masters de- grees after eight years of teach ing in the state.
 In 1862, the maximum wage would scale upwards to $500 after four years for those with three years of training; $7,600 for those with bachelor degrees after eight years of teaching; and $8,20O for masters after 10 years of teaching here.
 The bill also provides for pay increases for principals, vice principals, head teachers, teach ers-in-charge, and superintend- ents.
 A $400 differential would be added to each step for teachers in the Southcentral District, and $700 for teachers in the Central and Northwestern Districts.

Another Soviet Dog Joins Pioneer Space Riders

MOSCOW R A five-ton space ship with dog aboard was launched into orbit yesterday and landed safely, the Soviet govern ment announced.
 The official News Agency Tass said the space ship landed some where in the Soviet Union on signal from the earth, duplicat- ing a feat announced last August
 Aboard the space ship in a special cabin was dog named Chernushka (brunette) land other biological objects" Tass said. 'The initial inspection of the landed vessel proved that the ex- perimental animal feels we'll"
 Chernushka thus joined the dogs Strelka (arrow) and Belka (squirreD as pioneer space vehi- cle riders.
 In their voyage last August, the Soviets said Strelka and Belka travelled about 435,0OO miles in orbit.
 The Tass announcement did not say how far Chernushka travelled, but the maximum height of the space ships orbit was given at 154.5 miles. The minimum height of the orbit was 1134 miles.
 A Tass announcement broad cast in Russian by Moscow radio said the aim of the new test lis the further adjustment of the de- sign of the space ship and of the systems on board so as to insure the necessary conditions for the flight of man."

You Can't Always Be Right

It was wise philosopher who said
that the mature person realizes that no
one can be right all of the time Such q
person allows for human error, he gives
himself the privilege of occasional mis-
takes and he isn't too hard on himself
when he goofs now and then.
One Of the chief causes of strain and
tension is the effort many of us make
to always be right. We have built a
mental picture of ouselves as always
doing the right things, never being
wrong and then when we slip, as every
one does now and then, we suffer untold
mental torture.
One must learn to do the best he can
and then with an inner quietness Of
spirit accept what comes. Even the
worlds champion archer doesn't hit the
bulls eye every time he releases an ar
row. Stop being SO severe with yourself.

Mailing Fulbright

GEN. Strom Thurmond displayed his
- customary independence and courage
in assailing Sen j. w. Fulbright for
his private memorandum to the De-
Tense Department asking for a crack
down on officers who hold conservative
views
For several months left-of-center
political journals have been sniping at
officers who obey National Security
Council directive to educate troops con-
corning communism. The Bulletin of
Atomic Scientists, The Reporter maya
zine, The Nation and The New York
Times = all have demanded that right
wing officers be muzzled. Sen. Full
bright, the darling of New York
liberals" dutifully sent memo back
ing up what they want. He even went
SO far as to ask that the National War
College revise its courses on commu-
nism and reconsider it's academic ties
with the Foreign Policy Research Insti-
tute Of Pennsylvania, distinguished
scholarly organization. In short, Sen
Fulbright wants to shut up the anti
communists.
We are not surprised. Only few
days ago Sen. Fulbright said Red Cuba
was bad, but suggested the U. S. could
live with the Red menace. AS follow
er OF the soft line in foreign policy, Sen.
Fulbright has no liking for tough-mind-
ed citizens in or out of uniform.
We are delighted that Sen. Thurmond
didn't let Sen. Fulbright's sneaky little
memo get by without vigorous protest.
We hope the full story gets to the peo-
pie of Arkansas. They will have a
chance to replace Sen. Fulbright with a
real anti-communist when he comes up
for reelection next year.

Khrushchev has no desire to force
the United States into an all-out atomic
war. Russian strategy has been plainly
outlined, namely, to infiltrate with the
communist doctrine, to force the United
States (capitalism) to spend itself into
bankruptcy, to breakdown the wills of
the people, and the United States will
fall like ripe fruit"
Nobody calls his hand, and he
busters along menacing the world. If
the President wants to call Mr. Khrush-
chevs bluff now, let's drop everything
and do the job.
Mr.. Khrushchev is no superman. He
has problems of his own. Standing
ready to turn on him and his oppressive
government Of the satellites are thou
sands of people VINO know firsthand
the meaning of Communism. These he
fears.
In other words, if the people of the
United States acting through the Con-
gress are now ready to begin the move
to bring peace in the world, let's nego-
tate from position of military
strength and begin now.
If that is what the President means

union corruption.
In 1852 he voted against a
Senate resolution urging Presi-
dent Truman to use the Taft
Hartley Act to stop a steel
strike. In 1859 he criticised
President Eisenhower for using
the Act.
This background must be
kept in mind in determining the
significance of Mr.. Kennedy S
order to Secretary Goldberg to
prepare for submission to the
Congress proposals for improv-
ing our mechanism of dealing
with national emergency stri-
keS."
Secretary Goldberg, too has a
background of hostility to the
Taft-Hartley Act. AS counsel for
the United SteelWorkers in 1859
he attacked-all the way to the
Supreme Confuse of the Taft
Hartley Act in conjunction with
a steel strike.
Hearings on labor legislation
in Congress would give industry
an opportunity to urge enact
ment of its program for curbing
labor's monopoly power. Among
the proposals advocated by in
dustry are these:
! /. Placing unions, like indus
try. under the antitrust laws.
2. Restoration of adequate
| state powers to deal with labor
disputes.
3. Banning the use of union
dues for political activities.
4. Providing for a secret strike
ballot.
/ 5. Imposing a ban on com
pulSory unionism.

About the only thing we got plen-
ty of is rain and trouble.
The advertising Of the Presi-
dents speech is worse'n the
speech my bet. They are either
stunning up a view crowd or
trying to get support for what
he wants from them solOns up
in Congress. First he has to
brief the Democrats. Always let
your gang in on what you are
going to do that spells
success. People are not as ex-
cuseable of their political party
as they used to be. They want
to know why things are being
done and that's why President
Kennedy goes to the party . +.
and to the people when he gets
into trouble.
He is in trouble NOW. There
are lot of unfortunate circum-
stance that nobody is really res
ponsible for but we cannot push
them aside. Our entire success
hangs upon this Administration.
We Democrats must do the job
and it better be good.

could take place during the pre-
sent session of Congress.
The fight would be over Presi-
dent Kennedy's proposals for
improvements" in the method
provided in the Taft-Hartley Act
for dealing with strikes creating
a national emergency.
Just what specific legislation
Mr.. Kennedy wants Congress to
enact is still under study by
Secretary of Labor Goldberg
but Mr.. Kennedy's proposals
along this line in the past have
been at charp variance with the
ideas of industry as to what IS
! needed.
Industry strongly advocates
legislation to curb the monopoly
power Of labor unions-a power
which has enabled them to force
inflationary wage increases, to
paralyze entire industries, and
to seriously damage the nation
economy by costly strikes.
Mr.. Kennedy has repeatedly
contended that Congress should
provide the President with an
arsenal of weapons" for deaH
ing with national emergency
strikes.
One Of the weapons he advo-
Gates would permit the govern
ment to seize and operate COM
panieS against which a strike has
been called by labor.
This obviously would give the
President life or death power
over industry. 1t is regarded in
business circles as one of the
most drastic and dangerous pro-
poSals ever to erlanate from the
White House.
President Truman shocked the
American people by selling the
nations steel plants against
which strike had been called.
But the Supreme Court ruled that
the secure violated the Constitu-
ton.
Another weapon Mr.. Kennedy
advocates is the appointment Of
fact-finding boards to make re-
Communications for settlq ment
of strikes.
Mr.. Truman also appointed
fact-finding boards in dealing
with a number Of major strikes.
To the surprise Of no one. these
Truman appointed boa I'd
always found that the facts"
sustained labor contentious.
A series of reports of this
nature during the Truman Ad-
ministration greatly stimulated
wage increase demands by labor
in excess Of productivity
which have continued to plague
the nations economy to this
day.
| Another wea pom which Mr..
Kennedy had advocated is re-
troactive pay orders. 1t is easy
to see how devastating this could
be.
Other weapons he has propos-
ed include mediation and fact
finding without public recon-
mendations.
Mr.. Kennedy's attitude toward
labor legislation during his en-
tire public career was described
as follows by the AFL-CIO Com
nittee on Political Education
COPE in its July Is, 1860,
publication:
1.-The Democratic nominee for
President, Senator John Ken
nedy, of Massachusetts. has a
perfect voting record, from or
ganized labor's point Of view,
on labor legislation.
Mr.. Kennedy was described as
having voted In the interests Of
trade unionists on 80 key labor
management issues since enter
ing Congress in 1947 - and
against them not once.
He voted against the Taft-Har
ley Act in l947 while a member
Of the House. In the Senate he
led the unsuccessful fight in 1859
against many Of the major pro
visions Of the Landrum- Griffin
Act, which was designed to curb

Brand new roads

No longer read
RIIRMA SHAVE

Thus. with a tip of the hat and
a moistened eye, we bid goodbye
to that refreshing gambit of out
door advertising the ubiqui-
tious Burma Shave sign.
The signs won't come tumbling
down in one fell swoop, but they
are on their way out. The dis
treSsing news comes by way of
a New York Times report docu-
menting the Burma Shave de-
cision to shift gradually into TV
advertising.
Our first impulse as long
time admirer of the roadside
lingleS was to rush out and buy
tube of Burma Shave, or what
ever it comes in. But that would
have been a tinselled gesture
since we've never done it before
(which may be part of the rea-
son for the shift in advertising)
So we face up to the pros
pect Of having one more item of
motoring Americana disappear
from the passing scene. And
there have been many standbys
of the automotive age which have
moved into limbo.
Gone are such things as rum
BILE seats and isinglass curtains.
The running boards which helped
the motorist step up into the car
have long since gone, and now
one steps DOWN to get in. The
"ooga-ooga" of the old Klaxon
horn is no more than faint
/ memory. Radiator caps have
ducked under the hood, leaving
the bow to be decorated by orna-
mentation which itself is fading
away.
The trusty old crank which
ground the motor into life when
the "self-starter" was on the
blink is thing of the past ~ and
now a dead battery means a
dead car.
And there was the old Model-T
Ford with its foot-controlled gear
box which some automotive
genealogist might credit with be-
ing a forebear of today's auto
matte transmissions. And there
after came the bear-shift in the
floor boards, only to be replaced
by gear-shift mounted on the
steering wheel. Sports cars. how
ever, are reversing that bit Of
progress, if progress it was, and
placing the gear-shift back where
it was to start with = protrud-
ing from the floor.
But the real nostalgia attaches
to some Of the old cars them
selves. One old-timer which hung
on for years was the air-cooled
Franklin, notable in its inception
for its sloping grill. Jack Benny
perpetuated the Maxwell for
years after the old buggy itself
had given up the ghost.
The obvious name-tag Of "mo-
bile now preserved in the
Oldsmobiel once was a part
of two other vehicles, the Hupp-
mobile and the Locomobile, which
gave a sense of automotive
aWareness if anything ever did
There was the massive Mar
mon, the prestigious Pierce Ar
row, the maneuverable little Es-
sex fbaby brother to the Hud-
SOM, the economical Star and

Gods Unprized Gift

Until its go he we Oft don't prize
The blessing Of good health;
But when we're Ill and suffer pain,
For it, we'd give all wealth.
When are we'll, from illness free,
And health within glows,
We Oft don't know how blessed we are
Until from US it goes.
The poorest man who has good health
Is better off by for
Than mIionoires whose health is poor,
Around our land nov ore
And they would gladly give their ALL
IT they could have once more
The health and strength they once enjoyed
In years long gone before.
For what is wealth, compared to health,
What value is it, proy
When oil the joys that good health brought,
From them has passed woy3
Whot stote here, know is true,
Because, my friends, you see,
Good health had in former years
Right now is qone from me-
But still pray and hope each day
While olive remon,
The Fotes once more will smile on me
And bring it back again.
