Nome Fairbanks Road Proposed
 Officially Added to Highway System

JUNEAU tR - State Public Works Commissioner R h d Downing, in a report to the Legis- lature, proposed officially today that the Nome-Fairbanks Road be added in the future to the states highway system.
 The proposed 500-mile road would take off from the western terminus of Route S-680 at Panama and continue westerly via Birches, Kokrines, Dulbi River, Kateel River and Haycock to a junction with S-141 at Shelton.
 In a report outlining future problems of the states highway program and a tentative program to correct some of the problems, Downing proposed a revised state federal aid highway system of ap- proximately 4,012 miles.
 The system would consist of 2,434 miles of primary highway system roads, including the Nome Highway, and 3,954 miles of sec ondary "A" highway system roads, including 1886 miles involved in longrange plans.
 Some 933 miles of secondary "B" highway system roads now under the federal aid highway system would be dropped from the federal aid network.
 The primary system would in- clude the 351-mile ferry route between Ketchikan and Skagway to be traversed by the proposed Southeastern Alaska Ferry Sys- tenn.
 The secondary "B" system mile age dropped from the federal aid

GIVING UP AIR BASE WILL NOT AFFECT OIL SHIPMENTS

NEW YORK LR - King Saud's decision that the United States must give up it's air base rights at Dhahran next year will not have any effect on oil shipments from Saudi Arabia.
 This was the opinion today of oil experts who pointed out that oil has been shipped out Of Saudi Arabia by tanker and pipeline.
 One spokesman said since the decision appears aimed at mili- tary use of the airfield, it is like ly that the base will still be used for the transportation of civilian employees of oil firms"

JFK Borrows Green Tie From Irish Secretary

WASHINGTON R - President Kennedy, wearing borrowed green tie celebrated St. Patrick $ Day today by receiving a scroll with his family coat of arms em- bellished especially for him.
 Thomas J. Kiernan, Ambassa- dor of Ireland, presented it at a White House ceremony, which was almost pure Irish.
 Everyone wore something green except the ambassador. He wore a black suit and dotted blue tie.
 "I am green all over," Kiernan explained.
 The Kennedy coat of arms, as officially registered in Ireland, now shows at the top of the crest two olive branches surrounding an armored arm holding four ar rows. The emblem otherwise dis plays three helmets within a shield encircled by red and pale blue scroll work.
 Kennedy wore green tie deco rated by the emblem of an arm grasping a saber, but confessed he borrowed it from Kenneth O'Don- nell, his appointments secretary and, obviously, a wearer of the green.

Youth Authority Will Re-EstabIish Old ChilkOOt Trail

JUNEAU R - The old Chil- koot Trail, the man-killing route the prospectors used in their mad rush to the gold of the Yukon at the turn. of the century, is going to be reopened.
 The State Division of Youth and Adult Authority disclosed today it plans to send a team of some 10 boys from it's Wasilla Youth Camp to work on the old gold rush trail this summer and each summer thereafter.
 "The boys are going to clear away brush and landslides and build foot bridges so tourists can hike the trail and see the many points of interest which, until now, they've been unable to get to-" Charles Pfeiiffer, director of the division, said.
 "One of the points of interest is an old ghost town, another, as reminder, perhaps, that this was the area where Soapy Smith and his gang operated, is an old grave, marked only killed in the hills
 "The trail is a foot and half deep in some places, pounded down by the thousands of feet that moved over it during the gold rush. When the boys get through with their work, it will be a rough trail to follow, still, but you'll be able to hike it."
 Pfeiffer said the boys, 16 and IT years of age, will be accom- panied by counselor from the Wasilla Youth Camp. The group will drive to Haines in camp truck and then ferry to Skagway.
 "Once we open the trail to the border, we are hoping the Cana dians will do something on their side toward restoring the trail" Pfeiffer said.
