Maj. Gen. Zierath Says Alaska Defense Adequate But Not Balanced

SEATTLE LP Mai. Gen. Frederick R. Zierath, who has as sumed command of the Army Corps at Ft. LaWton, says he thinks the military defense struc- ture of Alaska is adequate, but not balanced for the ability to counterpunch.
 Maj. Gen. Zierath. 50, was Chief of Staff for the Alaska Con- mand Headquarters at Elmendorf Air Force Base, near Anchorage before coming here last week.
 "We have to retain our strength" he said. Strength be- gets respect.
 "We have never been an ag- gressor or overbearing nation, and I think the world realizes that and respects us for it.'
 He declined to say whether he thinks the United States and Rus sia will eventually go to war
 "HoWever, Pm an optimist,' he said. Our problems are not mili- tary but sociological. What we need is feeling of mutual trust and confidence between our peoples and our governments.
 "One day, the reasonableness of man will prevail. It may not be in our time or our children's time, but one day"

ArnnstrOngg-Jones Says It's Definitely For the Birds
By Eddie Gilmore

LONDON LR - Antony Arm strong-Jones disclosed at his first ever news conference what he's been up to since his honeymoon he's beein designing a bird cage
 It is not for his wife, Princess Margaret, or for himself. It's for the London Zoo.
 "I did it in the evenings and at Weekends," he told reporters.
 Answering questions at the zoo, he denied he planned a career as a bird home architect and added:
 "I don't want to be known as an aviary man."
 The huge, super-modernistic bird cage will house between 50 and so fluttery inmates. For weeks, Armstrong-Jones has been hard at work on the model.
 q used an old razor blade to carve out the base of the model" he said. 'It was made of balsa wood. I used picture wire for the superstructure."
 His ideas-avant garde when com pare d with conventional cages - have flowed from his desk at Kensington Palace Gar dens since he moved in with his royal bride on July 12. Collabor- ating with him have been two London architects, Cedric Price and Frank NeWby
 "In the design for this aviary we have tried to achieve an ex- citing design in architecture as well as allowing the birds as much light and freedom as possible" said ArmStrOng-J who has been connected with the Council of Industrial Design since Janu- ary.
 It's exciting, all right.
 From it's floor sprouts a tall bare tree, below a roof of brist- ling geometrical design of angles and points. And there are two waterfalls. The finished aviary will be 150 long, 63 feet wide and 80 feet high. Visitors will be able to walk through the center pro- Iected by wire netting.
 Tony said it was specifically designed for ibises, lesser flamin- gos, perching ducks and wading birds. It definitely is for the birds.

Us. To Help
Gh0no Build
voIfu Power Dam

Washington (ANP) - President
Kennedy has surprised Russia by
promising to help Ghana build a
dam that should spur industrializ-
alton of West Africa, it was learn
ed last week.
A diplomatic source said the
soWets had expected the United
States to back out of the Ghana
project as it did with Egypt's
Aswan Dam in 1856. After the
us. withdrawal, Russia moved in
to help Egypt build the dam.
President Kennedy has rushed a
note to Ghana President Kwame
NkrImah pledging U. 8. help on
the $16S million hydroelectric pro-
ject on the Volta River.
The note was sent now so that
Nkrumah could announce the con-
ditional agreement before making
a Moscow visit later this month
The Soviets plan to finance and
build another section OF the Volta
River dam complex.

subject was, Strangers in Africa"
Howe succintly stated the in

q. the policy of using a large

African jobs is dangerous for all
concerned - the employer, the
usually discontented or disenchant-

And Howe Immediately puts the
clincher on this conclusion by
pointing to the long practice Of
missionary bodies. The us. Pro-
testant missions, who live with
their tribes and know them better
than British or French colonial ad-
illustrators, have never encour-
