Challenges Raised on Three State Appointments Recommended by Egan

Fairbanks had asked that Miller not be confirmed.
 The Legislature approved the appointment, however, by roll call vote of 22-18 for the House and 10-8 for the Senate.
 The reappointment of Henry Camarot of Fairbanks to five year term on the Local Boundary Commission also drew some fire from central and southcentral dis trict lawmakers before it was ap- proved by a vote of 12-6 of the Senate and 23-17 of the House.
 The opposition centered around Camarot's role in the annexation of the Fairview Public Utility District by the city of Anchorage, despite the objections of some B. 900 residents of the district.
 Coghill also objected to Cam arot's views on the proposed bor- ough system.
 "I think we need new and bet ter direction,' Coghill said.
 Other appointments confirmed without objection included:
 Hospital Advisory Council: Mrs. George Bayer, Nome; DurWood Huls, Valdez.
 Board of Pharmacy: Francis C.. Bowden, Anchorage; Boyd E. liar wood, Nome.

It's Possible Mir. k Is Enjoying COexistence Now
By J. M. Roberts Associated Press NeDs Analyst

Associated Press Neps Analyst
 The United States and her allies are constantly running assays to determine just what Premier Khrushchev means by peaceful CO., existence.
 There's a good chance that he has what he wants right now
 Under this theory, Khrushchev is proceeding at home with his effort to equal the United States in agricultural and industrial power, trying to convince newly emerging nations by example that Communism offers the best possi- bilities for rapid economic ad- vancement.
 Abroad, the Soviets are putti'7 2 on the pressure designed to show that the United Nations, and the free world alliances which operate under permission of its charter, do offer the best bulwark behind which former colonial areas may pursue independence and self reliance.
 Having formally eschewed nor ality, any form of pressure, any form of lie, comes handy to the Communist grist mill.
 One trouble Khrushchev has is trying to juggle the long-term CO., existence with the necessity of taking advantage of current op- portunities, as in Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia.
 Recognizing that he overplayed his hand in his latest attempt to undercut the United Nations, he is now making new approach to the uncommitted nations which refused to back him on the that point. He seems to play on their new sense of importance and their desires for peace by suggesting they themselves take over in the Congo.
 In this he relies on recognition Already shown by the Easterr | Powers which as individuals have kept out of the Congo mess, that the Congolese will deal most readily With kinfolk. And the So- viet Union has made some pro- gress in influencing some of those kinfolk.
 The key nation among those un- committed is India. Prime Minis. ter Nehru has believed for years that neutral India would event ually earn important profit as 2 peacemaker. The Soviet Unior would very much like to play or this hope now.
 But Nehru has learned a great deal about Soviet intentions in the last few years, and about how tc pursue his own policies without getting tangled in other peoples strings.
 The neutrals are now a strong force in the United Nations. They give indications of recognizing the Soviet will-o-the-whiSp when they see it, although they are not talk. ing out loud about their discover | ies. eff. .n9. 70. =.
 Individually, they squirm only when the finger of non-peacefu coexistence points directly a them, as it will if peaceful CO existence gives Khrus h c he1 enough time.

JUNEAU R = Serious chal- lengeS were raised on a joint ses- sion of the Senate and the House Friday to three of 34 state ap- pointments recommended by Gov. Egan.
 The list of names sent to the Legislature by Egan for confir- nation included appointments to Is various state boards, commits sions and agencies.
 Heading the list was the ap- pointment of Bjorn (GiD Johnson as State Commissioner of Labor. That sailed through without a challenge.
 Such was not the case, however, when Senate Majority Leader Me Nealy asked unanimous consent for the confirmation of Dr. Ar thur J. Schaible of Fairbanks to an eight year term on the Board of Regents of the University of Alaska.
 Sen. Howard Pollock objected and said that while he had noth- ing against Schaible personally, he felt that A. Leslie Nerland of Fairbanks should have been re- appointed to the position.
 Nerland, a Republican, is the son of one of the founders of the university.
 q have no intent to create dis sention on the board" Pollock said, "but I certainly feel that Nerland should have been con- sidered for reappointment to the board"
 McNealy said Schaible, physi- clan and a Democrat, was "emi- nently qualified" for the position.
 Senate President Frank Pera- trovich ordered a roll call and Dr. Schaible's appointment was con- firmed by count of 15-3 for the Senate and 26-14 for the House.
 The second major challenge came on the governors recom- mended appointment of Eugene V. Miller of Fairbanks to one year term on the State Board of Fish and Game, succeeding Art Hayr of Fairbanks, who resigned.
 Rep. Forbes L. Baker produced a court document which he said showed that Miller had been fined $50 for a game violation by U. s. Commissioner Hugh Connolly of Fairbanks.
 ''No board is better than it's members" Baker said. Any per- son who shows disregard for the field in which he is making the laws is not qualified to serve on such a board"
 House Speaker Warren Taylor stepped down from the rostrum to defend Miller. He said that the violation involved was Miller's shooting grouse along the side of the road"
 Taylor added that Miller had been a partner in his law firm for many years and that Taylor considered Miller highly quail fled.
 Sen. Paul Greimann also ob- jected to Miller's appointment. He said the Sportsmen's Assn. of

After The Horse, The PloW

THE pillow, according to an agricultural
engineer employed by the United
States Department of Agriculture, may
go the way of horse - out.
The expert, working at Iowa State
University, produced an excellent stand
of corn this year without aid of pillow,
disk or harrow before or after planting
He's convinced conventional tillage
methods are wasted motion. He pre-
pared the seeded through application
of newly developed chemicals at plant
ing time, using planter attachment
to get the seed in the ground through
the surface mulch. A new, potent con-
troll chemical kept down the weeds.
The new system leaves this problem,
if successful: What are the world S
swords to be beaten into # there's no
use for plowshares?

in San Francisco against the Cnamer-

Do YOU wonder Castro boasts
the proposed move against him

understatement, l would say.
Such is the record.
One can't help casting back

President, last April 20: Should
it ever appear that the Inter-
American doctrine of noninter-

cuss a policy of nonaction: if

Pride, patriotism and pathos
are all blended in this question,
which the Communists cold war
causes Americans everywhere
to ask: What can do?H
In this twilight zone between
war and peace, Americans are
frustrated and fretful. They
krow that all is not well with
the world, and that bad temper
at high levels-or bad luck at
low levels-might plunge the
United States into war. They
know too, that, within the United
States itself, forces are at work
which are bent on the nation S
destruction.
Yet, knowing these things,
Americans find singularly little
opportunity to do anything about
the situation-and the sensation
is uncomfortable. So the ques-
ton goes out: What can I do?'
There are those in Washington
who say: Leave these problems
10 us, and we in our wisdom
will solve them.
But Americans have seer

And there are those Who band
ogether in militant groups to
5ound clarion alarms of dangers
which to them are clear and
resent.
But they sometimes defeat
heir own purposes by lmpungn-
ng the motives and questioning
he allegiance of everyone who
as been in public service.
And there are the bitter little
clques who single out religious
Or racial. or ethnlc groups for
vituperation and abuse in
the name Of anti-Communism

Disease Doesn't Go Away

There are people who hope

In the first place, Cuba is in

is a Communist government and
that means it is in fact conduct

We can't understand why experienced
reporters for the New York Times, the
greatest newspaper in the nation,
should have been fooled by Castro. Or
were they?
We don't understand why a COM
mittee. the Internal Security Committee,
should withhold information about con-
ditions because such knowledge would
lead to "some killings" Certainly the
rise of Castro has led to many thousands
Of killings as we'll as great embarrass-
ment to the United States and a loss of

the killings would have been of Ameri-
cans who had betrayed this nation, it
would have been we'll justified. The rise
of Castro and his communist govern
ment may lead to much bloodshed I'M
less curbed soon, and this could be
American blood.
1t is not comfortable to have a COM
munist dictator within 60 miles Of the
American coast, who is directing COM
munist movement throughout South
America among our neighbors whose
freedom is guaranteed by the U. S., and
whose support in time of war is Of
prime importance.
Let's bring some of these things out
into the open and do something about
them - even if it takes a few killings
of our enemies, either foreign or native.
For how long can this government
and this nation remain naive.
