deep sea-going boats and tenders, and a repeal of the present land ing law, originally enacted to pro- tect the smaller boats. The law prohibits King crab caught beyond the mile limit in the Kodiak area from being processed in Alaskan waters. Dragging for King crab, and use of more than 30 pots per vessel are also outlawed. .The main problem here is to let us fish the same as the Japanese and the Russians. They've been prospect ing out here for the last year or so, and once in a while, if you have a good radio, the Russians are on the air and sound as if they are in your back yard"
 That means they are perhaps 30 miles away? "Oh yes, on the Senac and Yakutat halibut banks, and off the west coast of Kodiak Island. The Kodiak industry will grow, l believe, into quite sizable indus try, and stable one if they will go into larger boats and equipment, to get offshore where you get lar ger and better crab, and where you can compete with the foreign com petition. One thing that worries me is that if the Russians get size able market or acceptance in this country it will just induce their government to exploit our fisher ies on this coast a great deal more than they would do otherwise. Pm afraid the way they fish, the fish cries would not stand the pressure. They fish the same way the Jap anese do, and that is very, very effective.
 'The competition is bound to hurt us because the crab will be caught here in our waters, and also

 We asked about labor and Mir. Wakefield said that approximately 809o 858o of Wakefield's em- ployees are Alaskans who are not union members, but are paid union scale wages, including room and board. Many of the workers have been with the company for years.

we have found that the Rssian fish ermen get $180 for months work. If or men don't get $750 to $1,000 a month, they figure it's not worth going out. Now there is no duty on the frozen crab, only on the canned, 221s %. Back in 1854 1t cost a Kodiak company $28 case to produce. At the same time, the Tokymaru from Japan was able to produce for $4 a case" Japanese wages are on a par with the Rus sian.
 The problem is sticky one, ser ious to all concerned, the fisher man, the processor, business con- cerns, and to the state of Alaska which needs the taxes it collects on the finished product.
 Before we finished our mara thon questioning we asked if the Wakefields would be coming to The King Crab Festival. MT. How ard Wakefield replied that they would be unable to. My very good looking wife and I are going on vacation for about month to see our daughter in Seattle, and our son in California, then to Mexico. We have to be back in June."

 on Russian King crab imports, MT. Wakefield recalled for us his visit to a Russian fishing fleet in the Boring Sea last May. We had in formation that the Russians were up there and we wanted to know whether they were fishing for crab, or halibut, or just what they were doing We went up on the Deep Sea and took Herb Hilcher, the writer from Anchorage, Steve McCutch- con, the photographer, and Bob Atwood from the Anchorage Daily Times.
 we had time going through the ice; we went quite way, de- cided we were looking in the wrong place, and turned around. Then we ran into a Russian trawler, and our. interpreter, Alex Shad from Ilnichik, found out from them where the fleet was. We followed the trawler through the ice for 65 miles, and got there around 2 o'clock in the morning. It was a sight; we counted, I think it was 82 ships. There were lights every place you looked; it looked like the middle of city. They were bottom fishing, cod, sole and founder.
 Next morning we got alongside, saw the Commander of the lead vessel, and we went aboard. Why did they let us aboard? I don't know; we were hoping we could, but we were surprised. We asked if they were interested in crab and the Commander said No Oh, they were very cordial;;' Gifts are some times proffered by Japanese fish, ing ships on the occasions of visits made by Americans; did the Rus sians give you anything? They gave us nothing. Matter of fact, they came out with a bottle of French cognac and there were about Il of us-Cognac and black Russian bread, and some kind of Russian candy. We drank little cognac and thought they would bring another bottle, but when they didn't I had some Scotch and VO brought over. They only slipped the Scotch, but they went for the VO like crazy invited them to our vessel for dinner, and you ought to see those fellows eat American food.
 Beforehand, we started to toast; they just love to drink toast first a toast to President Eisen- hover, then to Krushchev, then to the Russian fishermen, and the American fishermen. They filled up glass and drank it down for every toast and pretty soon we had gone through half case of VO. They were feeling pretty good and everything seemed to be friendly" But below, matters were getting out of hand. Russian sea- men who also came aboard the Deep Sea were as busy as pack rats, some stealing, others trying to make bad trades-their very poor clothing for the Americans. One Deep Sea crewman found a Russian in his stateroom in the process of switching shirts, and the protests reached the ears of the Russian officers who hustled their men off the boat.
 After returning to Dutch Har- Dor to put the newspapermen aboard plane, the Deep Sea went westward again, discovered the same Commander in the same ship very much interested in King crab, despite his earlier denial. He was then 200 and some miles east of his last position, near Unimak leland whara fho Daov, Goo bod

JFK and Nikita To Discuss Cold War Issues in June
By John M. Hightower

WASHINGTON tR = President Kennedy and Soviet Premier Khrushchev will meet in Vienna June 3 and for their "first personal contact" and general exchange of views" on critical cold war issues.
 The meeting was announced si- multaneously in Moscow and Washington. The White House also announced that, in addition to con- ferring with French President De Gaulle prior to the Vienna sessions, Kennedy will return from Vienna by way of London and confer with British Prime Minister MacMillan.
 Mrs. Kennedy will accompany the President on his trips, and in London it was announced the Ken nedys will dine with Queen Eliz- abeth June 5.
 It is possible the President may make a report to the Ameri can people June ' on his talks with the Soviet leader. Kennedy is to speak that day at commence ment exercises at the Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md, an oc- casion that will afford opportunity for a report.
 The official description of the Kennedy-Khrushchev t a ks as constituting ''first personal con- tact" suggests the possibility both men enviSion further meetings Authorities here said no further meetings are specifically planned, but that it is normal - or should be - for an American President to talk with the Soviet Premier.
 The formal announcement ruled out Kennedy-Khrushchev nego- tiations or agreements on "major international problems" in which other countries have direct in terest. But it left no doubt that all those problems will be dis cussed as either Kennedy or Khrushchev wishes to raise them.

Vice Pres. Johnson Gives Rural India Example of US. Politician in Action
By Spencer Davis

ORA, India R - U. s. Vice President Lyndon Johnson gave rural India an example of an American politician in action to- day as he shook hands through villages and assured them the people of the United States are interested in their welfare.
 Johnson and his wife also visited the beautiful Tai Mahal, shimmering white in 106-degree heat. Johnson took long look and called it "the greatest monu- ment to love and a woman" It was built by Shah Jahan in the 17th Century as a tomb for his wife.
 Inside the domed central room a guide called a Moslem prayer for the visitors to hear 15-second echo around the high circular cell ings of the elaborately inlaid mar ble.
 Johnson let out a Texan "whoo- hop" but it's echo was lost in laughter.
 While he was here, a joint com munique was issued in New Delhi in the names of Johnson and Prime Minister Nehru calling on all mankind to join in the attack on ignorance, poverty and dis ease.
 "The conquest of these every where is the first step to the as- surance of peace and freedom" " the communique said in a resume of the two days of talks by the two men.

Pres. Yum of
 So. Korea Resigns In Favor of .Junta
By Gene Kramer

SEOUL, Korea R - President Yum Po-Sun gave his blessing to South Korea's new military rulers and announced his resignation in a humbly worded statement to- day. The grip of martial law frightened.
 The military chiefs pushed crackdown that included the ar rest of almost $500 persons. Of ficial announcements said pri- soners included 2,500 hoodlumS and 930 Leftists considered po- tential Communist suspects. A security decree set up severe pen alties for membership in what it broadly termed anti-state organi- Zations.
 By accident or design, Yun's announced resignation clouded diplomatic relations b betwe e n South Korea and it's friends abroad, including the United States. Foreign envoys here have been accredited to Yum rather than to the fallen government of Premier John M. Chang.
 Both American and British of ficials had said their recognition of the military takeover would be automatic because Yum remained chief of state.
 Now Korea's allies may face the legal puzzle of whether to recog- nize It. Gen. Chang Do-Young, 38-year-old chief of the junta that calls itself "the Supreme Council for National Reconstruc- tion." U. s. spokesmen here op- posed the coup.
 Gen. Chang was seen entering the Presidential Palace, report edly to try to persuade Yum to reconsider.

 Down Mt. Susitna

ANCHORAGE R - A 46-year- old communications worker mir aculously escaped serious injury when he fell at least 500 feet and plunged another 5000 feet in a roaring avalanche down the slopes of Mt. Susitna, 35 miles from here, yesterday.
 As he rested in Providence Hos pital today, apparently suffering only a stiff back and right heel injury, Willard A. BilD Watson, said Next time I go to empty the garbage, I'll wear a para chute" He was brought to the hospital by helicopter after being picked up on the side of the mountain.
 Watson, who with his wife, tend a telephone relay station atop the 4,320-foot peak, said he was en- plying a 30-gallon garage can near the couples quarters when his fall began.
 Watson had gone to the edge of snow and ice cornice over hanging by 35 feet saddle be- tween the mountains north and south peaks.
 "I heard a crack and the whole cornice gave way" Watson re- counted. q fell though the air 500 to 1000 feet, then rode the ava lanche down an 80 per cent grade for another 5000 feet
 "It was quite a jar when l landed on the slope," Watson un- der stated. "I then bounced and ricocheted down the slope For tunately, the avalanche was most ly ahead of me.
 As he fell, Watson said, he fought the garbage can to escape injury.

Oil Refinery
 To Be Built On Kenai Peninsula

ANCHORAGE R - A 20,000- barrel refinery will be built on the Kenai Peninsula, probably near Nikiski some 10 miles north of the city of Kenai, Standard Oil Go. of California announced today.
 H. G. Vesper, president of Standards Western Operations, Inc, made the announcement. He said the company is negotiating for the purchase of several hun dred acres on the Peninsula for the refinery site.
 The refinery will be designed to permit ready expansion when that is justified by growth in Alaska's oil consumption" he added.
 Local officials said the plant would be ''full refinery" aimed at the Alaskan market and pos sible sales to military in the state.
 Automobile gasoline, jet fuel, fuel oils and heavy fuels will be produced, along with possibly aviation gasoline, they said.
 The refinery is still in the plan ing stage and the date of begin ming construction has not yet been determined
 Local labor and suppliers vii be utilized to the fullest exten posible,' Vesper added.
 The Kenai Peninsula oil field lie about 25 air miles northeast O Kenai. TWenty-nine producin, oil wells have been completed and are flowing some 14,000 bar rels of oil a day to Nikiski, the tideWater terminus 19-mile pipe line from the fields.
 At NikiSki the oil is presently picked up by tankers and shipped to the West Coast Once the re- finery is completed, the products will be shipped largely by barge and tanker to Alaskan ports.
 The announcement of the re- finery is the latest in a fast breaking series of advances in the peninsula oil fields. The discovery well was drilled by Richfield Oil Corp. less than four years ago.

Twenty Students Receive Diplomas At Graduation

The Class of 1861 was gradu- ated Wednesday evening from the Nome High School with twenty students receiving their diplomas.
 pr. Theo Norby, Commissioner of Education, in the main address called attention to the fact that to graduate this class with 12 years of study behind them has cost approximately $200,000 He urged them to explore space, but not necessarily outer space as there is much space in Alaska which has not yet been explored. Because it is big state he urged these young Alaskans to think big and act big, because there are undeveloped parts of the state which could grow into things no one has even dreamed about yet. It's resources, said Norby could not only house Alaskans, but feed and clothe them. He referred to the Rampant Dam stating that someone was thinking big when the idea originated.
 Several special awards were made to graduates. Pearse Walsh presented the American Legion award plaque and S10 for scholar ship, citizenship and an "everlast- ing smile" to Clarice Hardy.
 Peggy Kelliher, for the State Board of Education, presented an award to Frank Denny who is retiring after 25 years of teach ing in Alaska schools.
 Ash Craft presented the Rotary Scholarship award of $500 to Mary Jean Longley, daughter of Frances Longley, to used at either Alaska universities.
 Conrad Potter presented the State free room award for two years at the U of A to Douglas Lee, son of Richard E. Lee; the Sears Roebuck award to the U of A for $500 to Grant Doyle, son of MT and Mrs. Al Doyle; and the Glavinovich Memorial Schol- arship of $250 to Dean Alexander, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Houston Alexander.
 Wallace McIver presented the Halverson Memorial award to the school which will be a plaque in the Halverson Memorial part of the library. The PTA has pro- Vided permanent covers for sci entific publications honoring this teacher, Olaf Halverson whose main interest was science and sports.
