United States officials cross

The United States does not
recognize the East German
regime or its authority in East
Berlin.
The border issue brought
United States and Soviet tanks
to within a few hundred yards
of each other late last week in

Kennedy Ride
Toad Wagner
By GARRETT ID. HORNER
Star Staff Writer

President Kennedy will fly to
New York tomorrow for a ride
into town with Mayor Robert
p. Wagner and a conference
with Arthur Dean, who was this
country's chief negotiator in
efforts to reach a nuclear test
ban agreement with Russia.
The White House carefully
refrained from saying that the
President hoped to help Mayor
Wagner's campaign for re-elec-
ton by his appearance with him
in New York. But there is no
question about Mr.. Kennedy's
supporting Mayor Wagner in
his fight against State Attorney
General Louis ]. LefkowitZ,
the Republican candidate for
mayor.
Apparently the White House
shyness in attributing a politi-
cal motive to the Presidents
trip reflected a desire to avoid
appearing to confirm some of
the things Mr.. Lefkowitz and
New York Gov. Nelson A. Rock
efeller have been saying.
Gov. Rockefeller said yester-
day that the Presidents sched-
uled appearance in New York
is "a sign Of growing nervous
ness" on Mayor Wagner's part.
Mr.. Lefkowitz said Mr.. Ken
needy is going to New York ito
give a shot in the arm to the
sagging Wagner campaign"
Mr.. Kennedy expects to take
off from Washington National
Airport at 1870 pm. tomorrow,
landing an hour later at La
Guardia Airport. where he will
be greeted by Mayor Wagner
The President and the Mayor
will ride together in a motor
cade to the Carlyle Hotel.
The White House said Mr.
Kennedy plans no speech or
statement in New York on the
mayoralty campaign.
Mr.. Dean, a member Of this
country's delegation to the
United Nations, is scheduled to
confer with the President at
the Carlyle. No other appoint
ments we're announced for the
visit to New York.
Mr.. Kennedy plans to take
off from La Guardia Airport
at 6:55 pm. for Trenton, N. j..
where he is scheduled about
$50 pm. at a rally for Judge
Richard J. Hughes, the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor
Of New Jersey.
Flying back to Washington
Immediately after the Trenton
rally, the President is expected
to land at National Airport
about 1890 pm.

now discussing more urgently
possible countermoves and
sanctions which may be ap-
piled If there is no improve
ment in the situation.
Russia's demand on Finland
for consultations on defense
measures and its related prop
uganda attacks on other Scan
dinavian countries are viewed
here as evidences of increasing
belligerency on the part of So
Wet leaders.
Called "Repugnant" Act
The State Department last
night denounced the, Soviet de-
mand on Finland as a "repug-
nant" act, designed to cover
RuSsia'S own aggressive poll
cies" and to obscure the fact
that "the Soviet Union is the
source Of present world ten
Sion."
Moscow's call for conSulta-
ton with Finland under a 1913
treaty was made in a note pub
lished Monday by the Soviet
news agency Tass.
United States officials see the
move as one which puts pres
sure not only on RusSia's small
northern neighbor with its long
standing policy of cold war
neutrality but also on the other
Scandinavian countries = neu-
trail Sweden and the NATO al
lies, Norway and Denmark.
The maneuver is also viewed
here as part of the larger stra-
tegy of terror which the Soviets
are employing, United States
officials Judge, in order to
brighten the Western powers
into yielding to Moscow's Ger
man and Berlin demands and
at the same time to brighten
the neutrals into putting pres
sure on the Western powers to
make concessions.
Possible Diplomatic Maneuver
Western diplomats here say
that the Soviet pattern in the
past has often been to create
a high peak of alarm in the
world, then follow up with
peaceful gestures and calls for
negotiation. They say such a
maneuver is still considered a
possibility.
But it is now considered more
probable that Premier Khru-
shchev will continue to press his
case on many fronts in an ag-
gressive manner and seek to
force the Western powers into
Berlin negotiations on his
terms. Some authorities be-
lieye he may push the world
much closer to the brink of
war in coming weeks.
In support Of this view they
cite RusSia's nuclear explosion
of Monday in spite of protests
from non-Communist nations
and an appeal from the United
Nations to call off the shot
Mr.. Khrushchev said the blast
had a force in excess Of SO
megatonS.
Also advanced as evidence
of highly aggressive moves in
the Kremlin is Russia's re-
Spouse to initial United States
efforts to negotiate a settle

pute arising out of the insist
ence of East German police on

"If they are not, and it is a
service that would otherwise
have to be supplied by the
public, then there is no reason
in the world why private or
ganizations should not receive
appropriate assistance from
the Government"
AS for those who fear this
would violate the principle of
separation of church and state,
DR.. Hutchins said, with a bow
in the direction of Supreme
Court Associate Court Justice
William o. Douglas, who had
introduced him:
Justice Holmes has saic the
Constitution is what the Court
says it is. We know the Con-
stitution can be invoked on
either side of this question,
because the Justices have been
careful to leave it on either
side"
Backs Federal Standards
To those who oppose any
Federal aid to schools, because
of a fear it might lead to Fed
eral control of education, DR..
Hutchins said:
II think Federal standards
are essential. If this means
Federal control. I don't object.
I personally favor both. But if
you do object. there are plenty
of ways to get Federal funds
without control"
The best example Of this, he
suggested, is the CT Bill, under
which veterans attended school
at Government expense.
This was the greatest edu-
cational expenditure by the
human race" he declared. THE
Government spent $14 billion
yet no one suggested any
Federal control. The most the
Government did was put 9 stop
to some gross fraud"
DR.. Hutchins also criticized
the theory that this country's
educational system must be
improved in order to keep us
ahead of the Russians.

Early Alaskan Days Re-created
In First Big Party Held On The Base

aun a1Ve 20
What was Kodiak like twenty-one
years ago?
You can get all kinds of answers
by asking so-called old-timers -
for anyone having been a resident
of Kodiak for 20 or more years IS
an old-timer of sorts.
Then again you can turn to the
pages of old copies of the Kodiak
Mirror for your answers. The Mir
ror has enjoyed continuous publ
cation since June IA, 1910, and IN
it you will find a chronicle of world
and local news as it happened in
those hectic years when this towns
population jumped from 500 to
1900 in a matter of months, with
construction workers, some Army
and Navy personnel, and others
who were civil service workers, as
well as tradespeople. Most of them
came from all sections of the coun-
try, pursuing all types of trades,
businesses and occupations. What
did they do for recreation?
Here is an account of the first
of many parties held on the then
Naval Air Station as reported in
the June 81, 1910 edition of the
Kodiak Mirror:
The Recreation Center at the
Naval Air Station construction
camp, opened last night in blaze
of glory with a real old-time Alas
kan party consisting of home tai
emit, games and dancing. About 800
people were in attendance includ-
ing 1852 ladies. The new Recreation
Center consists of a theatre seating
$50 people, and is designed for mo-
ton pictures, basketball, volley
ball, smokers, and a game room
designed for pool, ping-pong, cards,
refreshments and other pastimes.
For the purpose of old-time local
color at the party, the theatre was
called the "Katmai Opera House"
and the game room was christened
the "Malamute Saloon" Mrs. H. G.
Beales with the name of kodiak
Mary" acted as hostess of the OPP
era House, Mr.. Frank Olseson with
the name of "Soapy Smith, famed
Alaskan character, acted as master
of ceremonies at the dance and
Mr.. Art Davis as "Mukluk Pete"
acted as the proprietor of the sa-
loon.
The show was featured with a
pantomine entitled "Cavalcade of
Kodiak" with Rev. Warner taking
the leading role of fisherman tell
ing the story of Kodiak, to little
girl, Peggy McGirr, who was wait
ing on the dock for the bus going
!, to the Naval Station. The story was
written by Mr.. H. G. Beales, and
was illustrated by 40 large pictures
from the fisherman's album, in pan
tomine with cast of so people de.
plotting the major events and per-
sonalities that make up the history
l of Kodiak.
The cavalcade was followed by
six specially acts well chosen and
I played in fine method with Mrs
t R. Clifton's quartet singing with
a the audience God Bless America.
] Dancing in the theatre followed
the show, with music furnished by
