RICHTER ys. GORDON


BY now most music lovers
have heard Of the Russian
pianist, Sviatoslav Richter.
Not so many. we fear, Of
Stewart Gordon. the rising
keyboard artist now with the
University Of Maryland music
faculty.
But there are some who
think Gordon might be as
enjoyable to hear as Richter,
given the chance. To test this
theory, Radio Station WGMS
will play the same six Rach-
maninoff Preludes by each
pianist between 1905 and II
am. Saturday.
Listeners will be asked to
select the pianist, identified
only as A and B, they found
most enjoyable. The follow
ing Saturday, the program
will be repeated, and the art
lists named at its conclusion.

MAJOR SPACE PROBLEMS REMAIN TO BE SOLVED

MOSCOW lR A Russian scientist indicated today that despite Soviet recovery of another space ship with dog inside, major problems remain to be solved before a Soviet man is shot into space.
 Prof. Ivan Maisky, director for the experimental Biology Insti- tute, told the newspaper Moscow Pravda:
 Scientists are not yet unani- nous in their conclusions on the effect of weightlessness due to the removal of the earth's force of gravity on living organisms. It is not yet clear, either, what stresses precisely a man can stand during the takeoff and landing of space ship"

JFK Urges Nikita To Cooperate On Laos Crisis

WASHINGTON lR - President Kennedy has strongly urged So- viet Premier Khrushchev to CO., operate with the United States in making War-torn Laos complete ly neutral nation, lest the con- flict there explode into much greater East-West clash.
 Specifically, Kennedy wants Khrushchev to choke off the pre- sently heavy flow of Soviet arms to the pro-Communist rebels in Northern and Eastern Laos before the United States decides it is compelled to launch a counter buildup of forces under the pro- Western government of Premier Boun Oum.
 The President was reported to- day to have advised Khrushchev that the United States is fully prepared to submit it's own mili- tary assistance to Laos of secreen- ing by a commission composed of representatives of neutral na- tions, assuming that Khrushchev would agree to the same kind of supervision over Soviet arms aid.
 Kennedy's position was made known to Khrushchev by U. s. Ambassador Thompson who spent four hours with the Soviet Prem fer in the city of Novosibirsk Thursday, it was reported here.
 Thompson immediately return ed to his headquarters in Moscow and set about drawing up a full report for Kennedy and Secretary of State Dean Rusk. He said it would be rushed to Washington. Administration officials declared it would receive prompt attention from the President.
 Diplomatic authorities here said that the Laos crisis was fore most among many subjects which the U. s. diplomat and the So- viet Premier discussed. Thomp- son had carried written message from Kennedy to Khrushchev ex- pressing hope for an improve ment in U. S.-Soviet relations and declaring Kennedy's complete confidence in Thompson.
 In addition Thompson had de- tailed instructions on wide variety of subjects, including the current crisis which carry the greatest danger of direct military clashes between American and Soviet forces backed by them.

Negotiations With State Contractors Breaks Down

SEATTLE R - Contract nego- tiations between the Alaska Chap ter of the Associated General Contractors and several construc- ton unions broke down Wednes- day night.
 The contracts expired March l but a strike has not been sched- uled. Negotiations have been going on almost continuously in An chorage since Febraury 23.
 Agreement has been reached on only about a third of 35 issues in contention in the Alaska dis pute, and they are regarded as minor. Agreement has not been reached on any cost items.
 The unions originally asked a 50 cent hourly wage increase and other benefits, it was reported.
 The negotiations opened with participation by laborers, operat- ing engineers, plasterers, cement masons, bricklayers, fathers, team sters and ironWorkers.
 The Carpenters Union, which negotiated separately, has one more year to run on a three-year agreement. The carpenters will get a 23-cent-hourly wage in- crease this year.

BIA Works on Plans to
 Provide 5000 School Seats For Indians and Eskimos

WASHINGTON R - Secretary of the Interior Udall said yester- day the Indian Bureau is already at work on plans to provide 5000 additional school seats for Indian and Eskimo pupils and to correct unsafe federal Indian school facili- ties.
 He told a news conference this was in line with an order received from President Kennedy, who an- nounced the action at his own news conference Wednesday.
 Udall said it is expected to take a week or 10 days to complete the plans. A specific request then will be submitted to Congress.
 Swift action was possible" :" Udall said, "because the Bureau has for some time been formulat- ing long-range plans for expand ing and modernizing it's nation wide school system for Indian youngsters.
 ''The most urgent needs are in the Navajo area of New Mexico and Arizona where we have a shortage of about 3,700 seats and in Alaska where we need roughly 1000"

higher wage brackets.
 Phillips agreeing with Pollock commented:
 "Politics and common sense met headon and common sense lost the battle"
 Phillips said the two week ex- tension of benefits would cost ap- proximately a quarter of a mil lion dollars.
 'The people of this state need roads, schools and services that could be paid for with this one quarter million dollars"
 Commenting on the governors role in the switch of votes, Phil lips said:
 "It is indeed a sad commentary on the Democratic process when legislators cannot make up their own minds on such important is- sues, but, instead, have to be sub ject to the political pressures of the Chief Executive"
 McNees said the bill would benefit the small wage earner as well as the large wage earner and would have no adverse affect on the states business community.
 Nothing but admiration can be expressed for these members of the Senate, who, when presented with the facts, had the courage to reverse their previous stand and vote for the extension of benefit durations," McNees said.
 "This is one more progressive step in the field of employment security"

62nd Year No. 29
Two Republicans Slam Senate Action
 Of Approving Additional Jobless Pay

JUNEAU LR - Two Anchorage Republicans hit hard today the Senate's action yesterday in ap- proving, for the second time, an extension of the employment security benefits period from 26 to 28 weeks.
 Sens. Howard Pollock and Brad Phillips both criticized what they called executive interference in the legislative process.
 Both accused Gov. Egan of using his office to influence sen- ators who had voted against the bill when the Senate defeated it last Tuesday to switch sides when the upper chamber rescind- ed it's action and passed the bill yesterday.
 Sen. John McNees took sharp issue with Pollock and Phillips.
 ''We have done a disservice to the people of Alaska and have made mockery of the term good business climate" to which we apparently are only willing to give lip service" Pollock said.
 Some of those who spoke most eloquently against this wasteful and useless measure only a few days ago apparently succumbed to the pressure of the governor, who himself must have been sub- jected to considerable pressure, or who simply was misinformed.
 ''These same antagonists of the bill a few days ago suddenly changed their minds and helped to pass the measure they once had the courage and determina- ton to defeat"
 Pollock said the State Senate bill was premature and uneces- sary in view of efforts on the congressional level to provide IS additional weeks of emergency employment security benefits.
 While the states businessmen will be required to pay for the additional two weeks provided for in the state bill, Pollock said the jobless worker will not re- ceive any benefits from those pay ments because the two weeks will be absorbed in the federal pro- gram.
 Pollock said he also objected to the state Senate bill on the grounds that it would not help the small wage earner, but only those unemployed workers in the

The Oldest Methodist Church

a neat wooden structure, with
tall windows and a large
slave gallery facing the ros-

membership roll was Judge

The first Protestant Church
erected in the state was in
1893 in Kingston, an old COM

County. This was called the
Congregational Church and
prior to this, services were
held secretly in the woods,
