Saudi Arabia Will Not Renew US.
 Lease on Air Base
By John M. Hiqhtower

WASHINGTON tR - By sud- den decision of King Saud, the United States must give up it's air base rights a year from now at strategic Dhahran airfield on the Persian Gulf Coast of Saudi Arabia.
 The State Department, disclos- ing the setback last night, en- phasized that United States in- tends to continue "close and friendly cooperation" with Saudi Arabia in spite of this incident.
 The field development goes back Is years and has cost the United States many millions ot dollars. But it has long been treat ed by both governments as a Saudi Arabian field used by the United States under terms of a formal agreement and subject to the jur- isdiction of the Saudi government.
 Dhahran has been a major base for operations of the Military Air transport planes through the Mld- dle East, some of them around the world flights. It also has been the operating base of an Air Force air-sea rescue team. Officials said that DO combat planes have been operated out of Dhahran. But it is understood that under the agreement the base presumably could have been used in time of war for combat aircraft.
 U. S. officials here said that King Saud, long known as a good friend of the United States, ap- parently had decided to serve notice of "non-reneWal' of the Dhahran agreement because of in- ternal political forces in his coun- try.

Alaska Would
 Operate Mines to Create Work

JUNEAU R Legislation which would authorize the state of Alaska to operate gold mines in an effort to cut unemployment in the Interior was introduced in the Senate today.
 The bill was sponsored by Sen. George McNabb.
 A state gold mine commission would be created under the terms of McNabb's bill and the com mission would be empowered to operate gold mines at the break even point, or even at a slight loss, in order to create new jobs.
 "The state would not seek to make a profit" McNabb said. "The state would sponsor gold mining operations at a break even point simply to give Alas kans a source of employment, and to give the state a valuable export.
 Even if gold mine lost a little money, the state would get this money back through state income taxes through savings achieved by taking people off the relief rolls and through savings in unemployment compensation" 7"
 The bill contains a provision which would require the state to lease to private industry any gold mine which showed a substantial profit.
 "The purpose of the state opera tion would be to put people to work, not to make money" Me Nabb said.
 McNabb said he had been as- sured by mining men that there are many locations in Alaska where the state could operate gold mining camps.
 The Gold Mining Commission would consist of seven members. appointed by the governor. Four would represent the four major senatorial districts and three would be named at large. Four would have to have mining eX- perience and one would have to be member of the United Mine Workers of America.

Sllure, an it was A Grand Day
 In Dublin, That Is
By Colin Frost

DUBLIN, Ireland R St. Patrick's Day today brought a labor truce to the streets of Dub lin and legal drink to the throats of celebrating Irishmen.
 For the first time since the proclamation of the Irish Repub- lie, bars were open - legally that is - on the feast day of Ire lands patron saint.
 Drowning the shamrock this way doesn't quite seen the same," said the man in Mooney's Bar.
 One Irishman's privilege - and favorite sport - on St. Pat rick's Day was flouting the law to get a drink. He stole into the small back bar and drowned the shamrock with an extra pleasure that always accompanies blow for freedom.
 Thirsty Dubliners rode to the bars today after six days of walk ing because of a bus strike that Iu1 llCd 1IllO d 1O(hOQl. l IlG OQOllIl Busmen and the Government Transport Board declared a truce, and the green doubledeckers roll ed through the capitals streets again.
 But only for St. Patrick's Day The strike lockout resumes Sat urday.
 The busmen walked off the job last Saturday, demanding more money and said they would strike every weekend until they got it.
 When they showed Up at work Monday, the Transport Board said they didn't want them back and the dispute turned into a lockout

highway system would be claSSi- fled as local use highways. They would be turned over to political subdivision of the state "as rapid ly as it becomes possible for them to assume the responsibility, fi- nancially and physically"
 Downing said the road program outlined in the report twill help place the state in position where it can meet the financial obliga- tions of its road program.
 ". A pertinent regulation governing the use of federal aid funds is the requirement that all federal aid system roads must be adequately maintained to protect the expenditure of federal funds therein.
 'Failure to comply by the state may cause the withholding of all federal aid highway funds. ."
 Downing said the state will have to assume on July 1, 1862, the full cost of highway maintenance program of $6 million year, which is presently being paid through the use of federal funds.
 "The first logical answer to the financial burden is to consider reduction of the mileage we must maintain" Downing said.
 Downing said any changes will have to be reviewed by the Blu reau of Public Roads and the changes not be undertaken until some form of local government is organized and financially cap able of maintaining the existing roads to be dropped from the fed eral aid highway system"
 The 1886 miles of highway which Downing proposed be added to the secondary "A" system in the future would include among them the following routes:
 Unalakleet-Kateel River Road, from Unalakleet, via Kaltag and Nulato to a junction with the Fairbanks-Nome Road near the mouth of Kateel River, 190 miles.
 Haycock-Kotzebue Road, from a junction with the Fairbanks Nome Road at Haycock via Buck land River and Baldwin Peninsula to Kotzebue, 150 miles.
 From Unalakleet to Shaktoolik, 36 miles.
