If it is at all possible, try
to get a preliminary criticism
Of the paper from your

presented Monday. to lower the
number Of inspections on the

Mr.. Tsarapkin had turned
down the Western concession
as Impractical, not conducive

After the Western negotia-

treaty language in today'S ses-

it again and said agreement is

Originally, Britain and the
United States had demanded 20

would cut this and agree to a
sliding scale of IL to 20 a year,

amount to a formal rejection of

ago, and for which the treaty
text was only tabled today
without your having had time
even to read what we presented.
I wish to express the intense re-
gret Of my government"
Conference sources said Sir
Michael told the Soviet delegate
that his reaction appeared to
be final and, ''if it is it can
hardly be a considered judg-

Highway Bulletin
 Receives Criticism From Sen. McNabb

JUNEAU Rl-A mimeographed information sheet designed for distribution to employees Of the State Division of Highways came in for some criticism on the floor of the Senate Thursday.
 Sen. George McNabb brought the attention of the Senate to the publication called 'qAlaska Highway Bulletin
 McNabb read portions of a letter from the boss,' written by the State Highways Chief T. D. Sherard, in which Sherard said:
 Through the news and infor- nation which will appear on it's pages in the months to come. we feel sure there will come about closer unity of purpose and direction and an increased aware ness of the importance of our work"
 After reading the passage, Me Nabb guided the Senate to page seven and two comments which appeared concerning personnel in the Valdez District Highway Off, flee.
 One of the comments concern ed new employe "who cuts mean (but exciting figure) both in the office and on the newly developed ski slopes"
 The other comment read:
 "Vital statistics of our division show that we've had no marriages, births, etc, but with the good looking unattached girls we are getting throughout the system the chances of wedding bells seems very likely"
 McNabb said he had no concep- tion of the amount of secretarial work which went into "this gar bage or how much it actually cost, but this hits an all-time low"
 The Fairbanks Democrat asked that the Senate appoint a com mittee to determine why this was done in the first place and how it can be prevented in the future"
 Sen. B. J. Logan O-Cordova took the floor to say that publi- cation of such House bulletins were not unusual, and then he added:
 And speaking of the pretty girl, Sen. McNabb, we all know, is the one person in the Senate who has an eye for beauty
 McNabb replied hastily:
 'sI knew if I stayed in this Senate long enough, someone would say something nice about me-"
 Senate President Frank Peratro- vich wrote an end to the dis cussion by appointing McNabb and Logan as a committee of two to look into the matter.

mostly white-spent the day
on Liberty Island, where the
Statute of Liberty stands.

park during the night. The
demonstrators had doughnuts
and coffee at a park snack
counter when the 24-hour
