School Funds AIIocated In July Says pr. Norby

JUNEAU (P) = Alaska's incor- porated school districts were ad- vised July 29 how much state aid they would receive during the 1961- 62 school year, Dr. Theo J. Norby, education commissioner, has stated.
 Norby said the prorated amount each school district would receive in state aid was mailed at the same time the approved state budgets were mailed to the incorporated districts.
 The approved budget covers all allowable state aid under statute and regulation. Payment of the to- tai amount of aid provided for in the approved budget is dependent on the availability of funds.
 Norby said the approved budget for the 29 incorporated school dis tricts totaled $10,596,299.27. The districts had asked for state aid amounting to $10,691 ,207.O8.
 The amount of state funds act ually available, however, was only $9,640,615.
 Norby said the amount of state aid available to the incorporated districts during 1961-1962 had no relation to the teacher salary in crease voted by the 1861 Legisla. ture.

By The Associated Press

The Soviet Unions decision to re- sume the testing of nuclear weap- ons shocked unallied countries as well as the West but received firm backing from Communist China.
 Premier Khrushchev's Peiping ally, often at odds with him on de- tails of Communist philosophy, quickly took up his line that the re- sumption of testing is necessary in a world threatened with war. It blamed persistent machinations of the western powers to obstruct and sabotage an agreement on gen. eral disarmament"
 Wednesday night the Soviet gov ernment, in 6,000-word statement, ended negotiations and announced it was going ahead with the testing. More than that, Khrushchev told his scientists to proceed to. try out new weapons ranging up to bombs with force of 100 million tons of TINT. That is far beyond anything in the American arsenal and 5000 times more powerful than the bomb the United States used against Hiroshima in 1945.
 It seems most probable that the United States now will resume test ing too. President Kennedy de

If we don't learn anything else from Don Bevan's remarks which appear elsewhere in this issue ot the Mirror, it is easily seen that scientists in both countries are out for the same end results-to increase the productivity of the sea. to seek a more efficient means of utilizing the resources of the sea, and to determine the best methods of conserving these resources.
 The Russians are aiming at tremendous expansion in their fish cries, however, according to Bevan. The reason for this is largely be- cause they need the fish for their diet; because fish serves as lever in world trade; and also to stop i'm portation into their country of fish products as much as possible-all commendable objectives.
 Strangely enough, the consumer in Russia counts for little as fisher ies go, whereas in the US. the con- sumer is everything. His demand controls supply, controls prices, the overall effort.
 Bevan calls the Russian buyer the neglected consumer" He is able to buy only when the State has surplus export or other pr poses. But he is promised that sometime in the future things will be different. In the meantime,

Mirrored Reflections
By SIG DECREE

Bevan says ''the Russians not only fail to meet the consumers needs, but seem to be making deliberate attempt to make shopping difficult. A sellers market is constantly maintained; possibly this is a gov ernment policy, or it may be caused by difficulties in distribution.
 Dr. Bevan's next words are sig nificant: Being a sellers market, the producer is not required to pro- duce a first-class product that is packaged and prepared according to the consumers demands. In fact the consumer has no demands .. The fact that what he is getting now is better than what he was get ting before contributes to keeping him satisfied with goods of low standard.
 Of course, fish isn't the only com modity that comes high in Soviet Russia. Many of you have read the remarks of Capt. Jorge Navarro, a Cuban sea captain, who has sought refuge in the US. He said his ship delivered Cuban sugar to Russia. He said the Soviet government buys sugar at the equivalent of 2.5 cents a pound in Havana. It is sold at prices in excess of 40 cents per pound to the Soviet people.
 In the Baltic, the price of a pair

JFK Plans to
 Relocate Surplus Wheat in Alaska

JUNEAU R = President Ken nedy's plan to relocate the quan- titles of surplus wheat in or near Anchorage and Fairbanks as an emergency food source has been endorsed by Gov. Egan.
 Egan said today he had asked Agriculture Secretary Orviiie L. Freeman to make an additional allocation for southeastern Alaska.
 Egan said he had also pointed out that Alaska had no milling facilities and urged that Freeman give consideration to the provision of minimal milling facilities so the grain could be used more ef- ficientiy, should the need arise.
 Freeman was also asked to con- sider supplementing the wheat storage program with similar re- location of surplus stores of beans and rice, Egan said.
 Under Kennedy's proposal, 75,- 900 bushels of surplus wheat would be stored in or near Fair banks and 222 2 900 bushels would be stored in or near Anchorage.
 !" "Alaska's reliance on imports for day-to-day sustenance and the likelihood that supply lines would be cut in time of crisis, make the continued availability of adequate food stocks Of major concern for both the military and civilian populations" Egan said.

JUN. Secretary General Hammarskjold Dies in Tragic Plane Crash in Africa

midnight it checked in over the Ndola Airport for a landing and then mysteriously vanished. It had been given clearance to land, then radio contact was lost.
 This was the most tragic blow of it's kind to the JUN. executive staff since Count Folke Berna- dottee, Palestine Truce Commis- sioner, was shot dead on a Jeru- salem street 13 years ago = Sept. IT, 1948.
 Bernadotte, like Hammarskjold, was Swedish.
 The plane crashed between Ndola and Mufulira, a copper mining and smelling center near the Katanga frontier of 40 miles northwest of Ndola. This sugl gested that Hammarskjold' s Swedish pilot, Capt. Haaionquist, had for some reason circled back.
