US. Soviet Union Trade Protests on Tense Border Situation in Berlin

MOSCOW D The United States and the Soviet Union traded protests today abO1lt the tense situation on the border between East ard West Berlin.
 When U. S. Ambassador Lle- wellyn Thompson made verbal de- nunciation of the demand that US. officials in Berlin show iden- tification documents to East Ger. mans, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gronyl1o countered with a protest against what he called American provocation.
 According to Thompson, this amounted to each country reject ing the others protest.
 The whole incident was rather embarrassing to the Western AL lies since the British have al- w1ys shown tification docu- 11emts to the East Germans, while the Americans and French have .refused.

Giant Saturn Is
 Complete Success In First Test Flight

CAPE CANAVERAI,, Fla. tR- Saturn, the worlds biggest known rocket scored complete success to- day in it's first test flight and gave the United States mighty push in the race with the Soviet Union to put men on the Moon.
 It was tremendous demonstra- tion by rocket which pre- launch calculations had given only 30 per cent chance of com piete success.
 With it's massive eight5engine power plant generating 1.3 mill lion pounds of thrust, the Saturn thundered away from Cape Ga naveral spewing a tremendous tail of fire and sending an un- earthly roar rolling across the test center.
 With almost unbelievable preci- sion, the eight engines pushed the 162-foot rocket, which is larger than the Statue of Liberty, ap- proximately the 95 miles high to the edge of space. Then the rocket plunged back to the Atlantic Ocean and sank as planned more than 200 miles southeast of the launch pad.
 2 The National Aeronautics and Space Administration reported the entire flight covered about eight minutes and the spent booster impacted within iiG 6 sszziilo- meters, or about miles, of its l intended landing point.
 Only the first stage was tested today. Two dummy upper stages were filled with water for ballast The historic flight, although i brief. signaled America's inten- ton to race Russia to the Moon a pledge made earlier this year by President Kennedy.
 The Saturn is three times more powerful than any previous rocked launched by the United States and tops the estimated one mill lion pound thrust of the Soviet Space rockets. The success of America's first heavy weight rocket will give added emphasis to this nations goal of placing a three-man Apollo spaceship on the Moon, hopefully by 1867.
 Nine more Saturn research shots are scheduled. By 1884, the operational two-stage configura- ton is slated to be ready to hoist the manned Apollo craft into earth orbit. By 1866, an advanced three to four-million pound thrust Saturn should be geared to wiiri Apollo and its three-man crew into lunar orbit.
 Manned landings on the Moon will be accomplished with the 12 to 20-million-pound thrust Nova rocket, whose development de- pends greatly on the Saturn pro-

Nuclear Tests
 Will Affect Aquatic Life in Arctic Area

JUNEAU R - There is no doubt that current Russian nuclear tests in the Arctic will have a tremendous effect on all aquatic life in the area, Federal Fish and Wildlife Service official said yesterday.
 Urban c. Nelson, Regional Di- rector of the Bureau of Sports Fisheries and Wildlife, made the comment during Senate Com merce Subcommittee hearing on fisheries problems. 'The Soviet tests will have a 1 great effect on life in shallow areas in the vicinity of the test ing grounds and on animals and
 fish which feed on such life,"
 Nelson said.
 l Asked by subcommittee Chair man, Sen. E. l.. Bartlett if the
 proposed Project Chariot nuclear
 explosion at Cape Thompson
 might have similar effect, Nel-
 son replied:
 I 'sNo, because that will be an
 underground explosion. The Rus
 sians are setting off atmospheric l tests, which result in heavy fall- out of radioactive material.
 James Brooks, State Director of Game, said Alaska is lnalter- ably opposed to a proposed act ]! which would give the federal gov errnnent protective jurisdiction over marine mammals such as sea otter, walrus and polar bear. Brooks said:
 There is no need for federal protection program at this time because the State of Alaska has an adequate program in relation to the known populations of these animals. It is an effective pro- gram
 Brooks said the present popula- ton of sea otter in Alaskan waters is between 27,00O and 47,- 900 animals. They are protected.
 The worldwide polar bear population, Brooks said, is be- tween 17,000 and 10000 animals. Pacific walrus number between 98,000 and 100000.
 Brooks said hunters take ap- prpximately per cent harvest of polar bear each year and an 8 per cent harvest of Pacific wal rus.
 "We believe these figures are compatible with sustained har- vest principles" Brooks said.
 Dr. George Harry, laboratory director at the Bureau of Com mercial Fisheries Aulxe Bay Bio logical Research Station. told the subcommittee foreign fishing fleets will take some Is billion pounds of fish from the Bering Sea this year.
 Harry said this take repre- sents catch some 10 times larger than the entire US. catch along the Pacific Coast.
 The bulk of the foreign take in the Boring Sea, Harry said, is corrprized of the flat fishes@ the soles and founders.

ANCHORAGE R = Governor Egan revealed here that next years state budget is going to be "much greater" than the cur
 rent budget, and he indicated that another tax increase may
 be sought to offset the loss of fe d era1 statehood transitional grants.
 These grants, Egan said, will be "all but expired" by next June 30, the end of the current fiscal year.
 Egan made these statements at a talk before the Greater An- chorage Democrat Club. The budget is going to be 'the most important, most vexing prob lem" during the next legislative session, the Governor said. He said he will examine closely all budget requests and will urge the Legislature to do the same so that the progressive, economic development" of the state can be continued.
 Egan said he was hopeful that the oil lease sale scheduled in December would bring in sub- stantial revenue and thereby re- solve many of the problems that will arise during the next legis- lative session.
 i The next budget will contain
 ia much greater figure than last
 year" because at the end of this l fiscal year the state will assume ] the responsibility for highwa,
 maintenance and other responsi
 ibilities mot with us previously
 Despite these added responsi
 bilities, we're not going to ge l in any terrific financial jam,'
 Egan promised.
 When the transitional grants ar,
 gone their equivalent will have
 to come from the pockets of tht
 taxpayers of Alaikas" Egan said 1 There are no surpluses anc we are not kidding ourselves ir
 this respect we are going t6
 have to meet this particular loss, 2
 he added.
 The state took in some ST mill lion in competitive oil lease sales last spring. The December sale is going to have to yield ssthat much or more if we are going to be on stable ground, the Governor said. "If we have great success in this next land sale" there will be no major problems during the next year.
 Egan once again made known his feelings on the proposal to move the state capital from Ju- neau to Western Alaska.
 Such move would hurt the state at a time when emphasis should be on it's economic devel- opment, he said. Prospective in- vestors are deterred from invest ing money in the state as long as the capital issue is alive. Egan said he realized that many people in the Anchorage area sincerely want to have the capital moved, and he respects their opinions. ! But he said he does not share these feelings. "We've got to keep this state moving as one, he emphasized.
 T can't say I have no opinion on this subject-I have to make my views known" he added. The Governor said he has travelled far and wide in the state and has learned that 'sthere has

Buyers estimated that a third
of Monday and Tuesday offerings
this week were marked wv.
With that marking. the tobacco
loses its support price backing
and sells at whatever the buy
ers feel they can invest in a
doubtful OF speculative quality
of leaf.
Pool Won't take
If the buyers do not purchase
the wv" tobacco. the govern
ment won't take it through the
pool either: The buyers report
that if the water has penetrated
the tobacco leaf, it is ruined.
Even after drying, this soaked
tobacco will be stained and
weakened.
Water Blamed
Assessing the weeks drop in
the general average this week,
J. William Huntington placed
much of the blame on wet leaf.
"Our growers have backed the
price support program since
the beginning at considerable
time and effort. Why vote for
supports and the market tobacco
in such condition that the pro-
gram can't work for them?" he
asked in reference to the grow
ers.
A look in at auctions this week
showed considerable tobacco
which would have sold at or
above $40 to $50 support prices
going for $40 and more below
tht figure.

Leaf Sales Pass
2 Million Pounds

Heavy offerings on both days
of the shortened sales week
Monday and Tuesday produced
auctions Of 449.0 3O pounds Of to-
bacco on the Farmvile Market.
The last sales before TIL
Christmas holidays carried the
season auctions here to 1853. 630
pounds. That is estimated to be
about IS per cent Of the total
anticipated sales of the 1861
crop.
The dark-fired tobacco aver
age for the two days was 1878,
down $l.52 over the previous
week. Graders marked about a
third of the tobacco this week
wet or in unsafe keeping order.
That removed price peg sup
ports, and was the principal
factor in the drop in the aver
age.
Wet Tobacco
A considerable quantity Of low
grade leaf appeared which also
cut down on the general price
average.
The sun cured tobacco aver
age for the two days was 1874,
a drop Of II cents a hundred
weight over last week.
For the season, the dark-fired
average on 2,2l5,5sO pounds Of
leaf closed at 1898. Season sun
cured sales have reached 1885,
07O pounds averaging $34.81.
Last year as the market closed
for Christmas. these averages
were respectively $40.l2 and
