Panl's Gratitude

Paul's Gratitude
Paul S gratitude was a constant
quality: every day for him was
a day of THANKSGIVING. He was
grateful for many things. but we
most often find him giving
thanks to God for these:
~ For Christian people and
his fellowship with them; % For
love especially the love which
he saw Christian people render
ing to one another and in which
he himself had share. and 80
For faith. without which there
could be no Christian love. There
is a love without Christian faith
but 1t cannot begin to compare
in quality with Christian love.
In order that we may appreci
ate the concreteness of Paul's
spirit OF thanksgiving we need tc
recall an incident from one Of
the great moments of his life.
AS prisoner in the custody Of
soldiers who were taking him tC
Rome for trial before Caesar, he
was travelling On a ship that was
caught in a Wintry Mediter

Senate Labor Committee Approves Setting Up a
 Youth Conservative Corps

WASHINGTON lR - The Sen ate Labor Committee yesterday approved far-reaching bills to set up a 50,000-member Youth Con- servative Corps and establish CT education program for veterans serving since 1855.
 The Youth Corps bill sent to the Senate floor far exceeds the recommendations of Pres d Kennedy. His administration ac- lively opposed the other measure, dubbed the "cold war" veterans CT bill.
 Both proposals were cleared by voice votes with strong support from Democrats on the commit tee. Republicans indicated solid opposition to the Youth Corps measure. Some COP committee members also opposed the vet erans bill.
 The Youth Corps bill, sponsored by Sen. Humphrey, D-Minn0, ), would create a corps 25 times the 6,000-member pilot project pro- posed by Kennedy.
 Enrollees would work on proj- ects sponsored by Government Conservation, Park, Forest and Wildlife Agencies similar to the tasks of the old Civil Conserva- ton Corps of the 1930s.
 The veterans bill, sponsored by Sen. Marlborough, O-Tex0, would give veterans discharged since Jan. 31, 1855, college education and other benefits similar to those received by World War II and Korean War servicemen.
 The Veterans Administration, in opposing the legislation, said the education costs alone could exceed $2 billion.

harmed and they wanted to know if the proposed explosion would harm the bird cliffs at Cape Thompson"
 Haworth said he answered that studies were still being conducted and that the proposed shot would not take place unless the AEC were absolutely convinced that there would be no danger to the residents and animals of the area.
 HaWorth said he would be surprised if the nuclear explo- sion could be set off before 1864 even if the decision to proceed were made immediately"
 HaWorth said planned conven- tional explosive blasts at the Cape Thompson site would be designed to test how explosives perform in permafrost.
 ''From these conventional ex- plosive blasts" Haworth said. i've will be able to predict ac- curately what an atomic explo- sion would do."
 HaWorth was accompanied on his inspection trip by James E. Reeves, manager of Projec Chariot and assistant manager for testing of the AEC's Albuquerque Operations Office; John s.

 want to emphasize that these studies are not preparations for an atomic shot, but only studies of the feasibility of such a show,' Dr. Leland J. Haworth, who just returned from a visit to the Cape Thompson area, said at a news conference.
 "There has been no decision to go ahead with the proposed proj- ect Chariot nuclear shot and, des bite all rumors to the contrary, we are not operating on a sched- ule."
 HaWorth was also emphatic in describing his trip to Alaska as a routine inspection trip.
 The AEC is studying the pos sibility of carving a harbor at Ogotoruk Creek on Cape Thomp- son, on Alaska's northwest coast 260 miles north of Nome, with five simultaneous nuclear ex- plosions.
 Haworth, enroute back to Wash ington, D. C., met with residents of Kivalina and Pt. Hope, two Arctic Eskimo villages, and visited the site of the proposed explo- sion.
 He said some 15-20 people were present at the Kivalina meeting.
 "They didn't seem to be much concerned one way or the other" HaWorth said.
 At Pt. Hope, some 125 people showed up to hear Haworth ex- plain what the AEC proposed to do at Cape Thompson and to ask questions of the AEC Commits sioner.
 "The younger people asked some very penetrating questions" HaWorth said
 'They wanted substantive in- formation about radiation and fallout and they wanted to know what effect an atomic explosion might have on the animals they use for food.
 "For example, they wanted to know if the caribou would be

New Civil Defense Plan Could Save Millions of Lives in Event of Attack

WASHINGTON R - The ad- ministration's new civil defense plan could save at least 10 to IS million lives in the event of a thermonuclear attack, Secretary of Defense McNamara said yester- day.
 He told the House Military Operations Subcommittee that the program calls for shelter space to give "a reasonably adequate protection" for about one-quar- ter of the population.
 McNamara testified that no fi- nancially practicable progra m could save an estimated 50 mil lion Americans who might be killed and some 20 million more who could be seriously injured by a massive hydrogen bomb attack.
 President Kennedy has given McNamara supervision over stepped-up program Of providing fallout shelters and developing other civil defense measures.

It's Very Disappointing

ACCOMPANIES FEEL like motherless child, is
 O popular tune which could we'll be Nome's theme song this past week with the many dis tinguished visitors in the State making three point landings (Juneau, Anchorage and Fairbanks) in this four district state.
 Alaska has four districts because it is very large It has four each dstanty different in eli matic economic and development problems Each is equally important Although the Second District is farther west than Honouu 1t is less than two hours away from Fairbanks so it is not far away that it be crossed off from itineraries of persons who should know about ALL of the State of Alaska.
 Nome disappointed in being bypassed by Dr. Leland Haworth, of the five Atomic Energy Commissioners, as this community has championed Project Chariot and is keeny interested in the re- sults as it would mean development in the way of harbors on other parts of the northern coast.
 Nome disappointed that Karl Landstrom, Director of Land Management, on his first visit here since his appointment, could not see for himself the terrain which his department has much control especially the reindeer grazing area
 Nome disappointed that Stephen Allies, Un- dersecretary of the Army did not insist on including at least aerial view of the defenseess coaslne of northern Alaska for himself He might have both boats and planes of foreign nation mighty close to St. Lawrence Island and realized more fully the for defenses on this coast
 It costs lot money than time for these visitors who come from Washington, D. C.. to visit Alaska and takes very little extra of either to n clude the Second District while in the State.

Atomic FuIIout Sessions

Vapaa, the county agricultural
agent, who is charged with getting
civil defense information to four
groups.
No one need be concerned about
preparations at ground zero in the
event of an attack. But much
larger area would be effected by
nuclear radiation and this is easy
TO defend against provided one
knows what 10 do. adds Mr.. Va
paa.
Many take a gloomy outlook at
the prospect of spending up TO two
weeks in a shelter. But sailors
have remained underwater in sub
marines at sea for months at
time, and the trick would seem TO
keep busy at diverting tasks. In
any event. few will bubble at
keeping under cover in an atomic
emergency.
The atomic age has brought
many changes which in turn de-
mand adjustments. A comparison
might be the changes in living
habits brought by the automobile.
We must discipline ourselves TO
prepare for these adjustments
because we might well get only
one chance. concludes Mr.. Vapaa.
