SUPER HIGHWAY LAG

Federal officials recently announced that
much of the superhighway program is be-
hind schedule. This announcement came af-
ter Labor Day traffic accidents erased over
500 American lives. Many of these deaths
occurred on crowded two-lane highways.
Some states have demonstrated beyond
doubt that the superhighway program can
be brought along on schedule. Since the
federal government is paying ninety per
cent of the highway costs, it is difficult to
see how elected state officials in those states
where the program is tagging can explain
away any lack of progress.
Every year wasted in delays, in scandal
or corruption in the huge highway building
program will cost American lives. What is
more, the longer we wait the higher the cost
of the highways becomes.
The superhighways are badly needed in
the United States and would be of vital i'm
portance in time of national emergency.
They will save not only lives, but time and
money - and nerves = and we are behind
schedule as a nation in building them, con-
sidering the huge number of automobiles
on the highways.
All who favor our system of federal and
state authority, and the American system of
free enterprise, should exert all possible
pressure to see that our great superhigh-
way program is speeded up, and completed
as soon as possible.

GOLDWATER'S HANDICAP

One great obstacle to Senator Barry
. Goldwater's presidential ambitions is that
Arizona his home state, has but four cleo
toral votes. Our parties have generally con-
sidered that too small number to be paid
for by the honor of presidential nomina-
tion. For example, the late Senator Will
liam E. Borah of Idaho would have cut
far greater figure in the presidential race
if he had come from New York, Ohio or
some other state with large electoral vote.
Yet once a resident of Maine, state of
unshaken Republican allegiance, was nomi-
mated for president, and received a large
vote in four other conventions. This was
James G.. Blaine, who served as Speaker of
the House of Representatives, as Senator,
and twice as Secretary of State.
In 1876 he lost the nomination only be-
cause the other candidates combined behind
the obscure Governor Rutherford B. Hayes
of Ohio. In 1884 Blaine was nominated, and
he would have been elected had he polled
1000 more votes in crucial New York.
Blaine thus showed what the citizen of
small state can do. Had he been less vul-
nerable in his political ethics, and had not
one or two last minute accidents hurt his
chances in New York near the end of the
campaign, the United States would have
had president from one of the least popu-
louS states.
Goldwater may egitimately hope to
avoid Blaine's errors. Does he have the
political and oratorical ability and the per-
sonal magnetism that made Blaine the idol
of millions? This is one of several ques-
tions that make the coming presidential
race particularly interesting.

NEW SERIES E PLAN
The Series E savings bond plays an i'm
portant role in funding the u. S. public
debt. Thirty-eight billion dollars worth of
these securities are now outstanding, and
the Treasury Department is anxious to sell
more.
Treasury officials undoubtedly are mo-
tivated by the advisability of keeping as
much public Indebtedness as possible in the
hands of individual citizens. The savings
bond, because it can be bought in small de-
nominations, is ideally suited to this OBJ
jective.
Unfortunately the public is redeeming
Series E's faster than they are being pur-
chased. Since January /, over 800 million
dollars more in bonds have been cashed than
were issued. This is a trend the Treasury
Department is fighting with improved in
terest rates and shortened NATURES, but the
gap persists.
Now the administration has announced
an opportunity which could benefit both the
Treasury and the taxpayers. Beginning with
returns filed next year, any refunds due tax
payers may be taken in Series savings
bond Were all refunds to be paid in this
way, 500 millions in bonds would be issued,
filling the gap and more
Further details will undoubtedly be
made known in the 1862 tax forms. Mean
while, those who expect refund should
consider seriously this opportunity to en-
hance their savings and at the same time
help the Treasury.

OCTOBER, 1862

October, now upon us, is thought by
many to be the most beautiful month of the
year. October was the eighth month of the
year in the ancient Roman calendar, and
that is where the Oct comes from in Octo-
ber-meaning eighth.
In the United States, October brings the
first really cold weather of fall, produces a
majestice panorama in the woods and for
ests of the nation, and produces great sports
events, with the mid-season climaxes of the
college football year.
1t is the month in which Columbus
landed in America, on October IL, 1892.
The cornerstone of the White House was
laid on October 18th, 1892. A prize of $500
had been offered for design for the White
House, and James Hoban, an architect from
Charleston, South Carolina, won the prize.
Of more current interest, October 18th
is the birthday of former President Eisen-
hover, and the month also contains the
birthday anniversaries of several ex-Presi-
dents, among them being John Adams, the
second President of the United States,
whose birthday falls on October 10; Chester
Arthur the 21st President of the United
States, who was born October 5th; and
Rutherford B. Hayes, 10Th President of the
United States, who was born October 4th.
Halloween, which falls on the last day
of the month, had its beginning long before
the dawn of the Christian Era. Today, how
ever, Halloween is not mysterious mystic
observance, and has little religious signifi-
cance

Naval Captain Contrasts Nuc|ear Subs To Those Of fWW II In Talk To Rotarians

A comparison of old and new submarines was made by Capt. J. T. Fulp, Jr., of the Kodiak Naval Base to the Kodiak Rotary Club at it's Tuesday meeting
 Capt. Fulp explained that the World War II submarines in peace times spent 99 per cent of the time on the surface and about third of the time during war conditions. The older subs encountered lack of oxygen problems, were difficult to submerge and could only go to depth of about 250 feet and at tain a speed of about nine knots.
 Nuclear subs, he explained are built for the underwater. They are shorter, fatter," and Fl per cent heavier than their predeces- sOrs, but they can travel faster than 20 knots and plunge to a 4O0-foot

Letter to the Editor Roderick Ristow

It's birthday time again for the Girl Scouts. During the week of March 18th, the Girl Scouts and Brownies of our community will be very actively celebrating this occasion. We hope you will all take a moment or two to see the windows which they will have dec orated in some of the downtown stores. On Saturday, March 17th, the Girl Scouts will hold bake sales at Kraft's and D. & A. On that same day the Brownies will be knocking on your doors, selling home made candy to raise money to finance their activities. Your support of these projects will be most heartily appreciated.
 At present we have 3 troops of Girl Scouts and troops of Brown ies in Kodiak, containing large group of enthusiastic girls and capable leaders. However, the Ko- diak Girl Scout Community Com mittee has the names of IA girls who are most anxious to become Girl Scouts, but cannot because of the lack of a leader Surely in this town there is one woman who could find an hour or two a week to act as Scout Leader for these girls! She would find it a most rewarding experience. Baby sit ting service can be arranged for anyone with small ones at home who would be willing to take this group. If any of you are inter- ested in helping us out, in any capacity, please contact Mrs. Peg gy Sutliff, or myself.
 Very sincerely,

INTERPRETIVE REPORT

What is really needed for an
emergency would have a value
of about $4.3 billion, according
to the President. Cutting away
the $3.4 billion he calls excess
sive, and getting out of con-
tracts to buy still more, is the
big threat. to private business,
and the President recognizes it
as such.
rs Strategic Items
The original goal after World
War II was to build up a stock
pile of some 76 items labeled
strategic or critical in times of
war or other crisis. Zone such
crisis loomed for a time when

magnesium. The United States
now gets it elsewhereD

Secretary Of State Rusk re-
turned to Washington today
to report to President Kennedy
on the hemisphere foreign min
isters' conference on Cuba
which already was arousing
repercussions in Latin America
The conference split on the
crucial iSsue-immediate action
to expel Cuba from the Organ
ization Of American States
already repeatedly had gener-
ated pressure from conserva-
tives on the Argentine govern
ment, one of the six which held
out for a go-slow approach.
In Brazil and Mexico, the two
other major powers in the soft
six" bloc, reaction was mixed
with some expressions of anx-
iety over the outcome of the
conference. .
Leftist Agitation Seen
Some observers in Mexico
feared the Donation condem-
nation of Cuban communism
would spur leftist agitation in
that country. Brazilian news
papers were overwhelmingly in
favor of the. condemnation of
Cuban communism, but differed
on Brazil's refusal to support
immediate expulsion of Havana
from hemisphere councils.
Members of the United
States delegation anticipated a
meeting of the GAS Council
within a week or 10 days to
begin putting into effect the
expulsion of Cuba from the
various hemisphere councils
and agencies. They hoped that
some of the abstaining six ma
tions would swing over to sup
port these actions, which the
six had contended the confer
ence had no legal power to
order.
There was a general expecta-
ton Of leftist pressure against
the Is Latin American govern
mentS which joined the United
States in voting the expulsion
move. 1t was widely believed
that the Castroist- Communist
combine would step up harass-
