Bill Would Ban Live
 Shipment of King Crab

JUNEAU tR A bill which would ban the live shipment of king and dungeness crab from the State of Alaska passed the House 35-0 and was sent to the Senate
 The measure was authored by Rep. John Longworth, R-Peters' burg), a commercial fisherman.
 Brine ships and catcher ships have been coming up from Seattle in increasing numbers, Long worth told the House.
 Why? Because they have cleaned out their own fishery in Puget Sound
 Then these ships take the live crab back to Seattle and put them fresh on the market in direct com petition with our canned meat.
 "This comes at a time when we are facing an unemployment rate of between 15 and 18 per cent. :"
 Longworth told lawmakers that he knew there would be criticism of the measure.
 .sBut I say that we have the right as State to protect our in dustry, and the moral obligation to look after the interests and welfare of our own people" he added.
 LongWorth said he did not think the bill could be held discrirnina- tory because it also bans Alaskans from shipping live crab outside of the State.
 Rep. Andrew Hope, D-Sitka) Chairman of the Resources Conn mittee, also spoke for the meas ure.
 'sI think we have seen the evils in this small industry Hope said.
 q think the State of Alaska is moving in time for chance to protect it's resources.

goraFe Q of Red China's Arrny Is Slipping

HONG KONG R-The morale of Red China's powerful 21a mil- lion man army is slipping, a Chinese Communist Bank official in Hong Kong reported Tuesday.
 The official, who recently com pleted four-month tour of Com munist China, said: Food short ages and living conditions in China have disillusioned most of the Chinese soldiers"
 He described the peoples liberation army as "a group of frustrated men, constantly worry ing about their families and their own future"
 The official, who was sent to Hong Kong by the Chinese Com munists in 1851, asked not to be identified. He made a similar tour of Red China four years ago.
 Fugitives from Communist China agreed with his report and said many of the border guards could be bribed. Otherwise we would still be in China" one fugi- tive said.
 Official Chinese Communist re- ports also indicate dissatisfaction among Chinese soldiers. Morale boosting measures, according to the reports, have been taken.
 Western observers in Hong Kong said low morale in the Red Army could trigger off a sweeping economic reform, but they ruled out the possibility of an open revolt.

 ALASKA TEACHERS SALARY WHILE FIRST IN AMOUNT RANKS ONLY 2sTH IN VALUE
 WASHINGTON = The $7,3OO average annual salary of a class room teacher in Alaska is the equivalent of $4,964 in the Dis trict of Columbia, the National Education Assn. explained in letter to all members of the Alas ka legislature. The differential in living costs makes the difference.
 Each year when NEA publishes it's Estimates of School Statistics Alaska teachers lead all others in actual salaries paid and no amount of explanation by NEA seems to catch up with that top dollar fig ure. When allowance is made for the difference in living costs, NEA said in it's letter to the legislators, Alaska teachers rank, not first in the United States, but 18th.
 Similarly, the average expendi- ture for pupils in Alaska schools is given as $598, but when ad- justment is made for living costs this is translated into the equiva- lent of $405 in D. C. dollars, which would place Alaska 23rd among the states.

Former Senator's
Firm Charged in
Truck Violation

WILMING TON, Aug. c3
(AP) Townsend. Inc, headed
by the former United States
Senator and Delaware Gov
ernor, John G. Townsend. has
been charged with Is violations
of Interstate Commerce Com
mission regulations. The firm
raises, process and transports
poultry products.
A criminal information was
filed in U. s. District Court
here Tuesday by Alexa n d er
Greenfield, Government attor-
ney. charging the Townsend
firm with permitting its per-
sonnel to drive for longer pc
riods than allowed by ICC reg
ulations. Arraignment is set
for August 80.
Mr.. Greenfield said a Town
send driver was arrested in
Massachusetts last November
and convicted of possession of
benzidrine.
He said an investigation
showed that Townsend drivers
had been operating trucks car
rying dressed poultry from 16
to 19 hours in a 24-hour Pc
riod without a rest.
Federal law requires driver
engaged in interstate transpor-
tation to be given at least eight
hours rest after every 10-hour

Perhaps this man is not typi-

not. But the conclusion that
India is less than stalwart in

could lead many Kashmirians
to such a conclusion.
The prevailing view. without

An Indian contingent of

its Galwan Valley post high in

closed in to about is yards.

India, meanwhile, has en-
barked on a long-range pro-

of Education, deputy prime
minister and leading political
figure in Kashmir. points
proudly to 1000 primary
schools where there had been
only 1900 before partition; 800
high schools where there had
been 81; 10 colleges where
there had been only two. New
industries are being brought
in: tourism in Kashmir's in
comparable scenery is being
developed; handicrafts already
are well established.
Would Resist Joint Threat
What would happen, Kash-
miriam officials were asked, IL
Pakistan and China were to
collaborate to divide KaShmir
between them?
India would, Of course, re-
sist. they said. but the prob
lem Immediately would become
"global" BY this they meant
that the United States would
be expected to come to India's
aid. Central government Off
cials have the same theory.
AS recent exchanges of notes
between China and India have
clearly shown once more. Red
China has been steadily ex-
panding its intrusions into ter
ritory claimed by India since
1857.
Indian forward posts. estab-
lished over the past year or
more. have proved ineffective
in stemming the Chinese ad-
vance. 1t is obvious that New
Delhi does not yet feel strong
enough to make a determined
effort to oust the invaders.
High Indian officials say the
army buildup in the Ladakh
area of Kashmir, where the
Chinese have established them
selves. needs at least another
year before enough strength
will have been accumulated for
a showdown. Meanwhile. pre-
sumably, the Chinese buildup
also will continue.
IF the Chinese don't go out
of Kashmir by persuasion" one
official finally acknowledged
under intense questioning, "ul-
timately we will have to push
them back"
AIl-Out Conflict Possible
But even this firmnesS gave
way as the same official went
on in what he called loud
thinking" There is a larger
factor beyond any move to
push the Chinese out Of In
dian territory in the Himala-
vas. he said.
when we try to push them
out we cannot limit the con-
flict to one comparatively small
border. We must be prepared
for an all-out conflict with
china, not one limited to
Kashmir, or the Northeast Ter
ritories. 1t could well turn into
a 100 years war.
which brings up the ques-
ton of India's long-term in
terests. Is it necessary to take
j up this problem of pushing tht
Chinese back in the remote. Il
beautiful wasteland d in the
Himalayas, thus involving us
in a major clash with China ?
Or should the problem be soft
lpedalled so we can concentrate
on India's economic develop
ment, which in the long run
will decide both India's and
China's standing in the world?"
There is this powerful doubt
in India's top administration
even today whether its terri
tory in the Himalayas Is worth
a big war to keep.
Tomorrow: India's search for
jets.

Chief problem is shortage Of

said the latter were superior to Rus

the needs of even our Army divi-

Have you asked for enough
money in the current budget to
answer the need?" inquired Rep.

money we provide for missiles and

remedy the situation.
Behind the Scenes
There was one moment during the
recent foreign ministers conference
in Uruguay when Congressman
Armistead Selden of Alabama got
into a hot backstage hassle with
Richard Goodwin, Kennedy's No. l
adviser on Latin American affairs,
now a member of the State Depart
! ment.
Goodwin had accused Congress
man Selden of trying to blackjack
Latin leaders into tougher policy
toward Cuba, and the Alabama con-
gresham resented it. He in turn &C.
cused Goodwin of telling the Ar
gentines that the United States
would be satisfied with a resolution
merely condemning Cuba.
Selden has travelled extensively
in Latin America, knows its lead
ers. and had been telling them quite
frankly that Congress was not ike
ly to vote money for any country
which refused to take deflhlte
stand against Castro.
When White House adviser Gooo-

investigating Committees :. ;.

Iatve Committees
Take the word investigating" for example. When
applied to Legislative Committee il means plenty OF
headlines and no real accomplishment
II means plenty of committee members iockeYing tor
position to grab the imelg page one tmeans plenty
Of expense to the taxpayer without any real benefits to
show for it.
Try to think of one Investigating Committee" that
has ever really accomplished anything The quite
simple.
Legislators don't create Investigating Commit
tees" when they have constructive accomplishment in
mind. There are several for this.
First Of all there exists in the Legislative branch OF our
State government Legislative Council and Legislative
Audit Committee. These permanent committees that
function all year long,
Second there are Standing Committees in each House
of the Legislature consider any subject that might
up These committees function all the while the Legislature
is in session.
Anytime the Legislature is interested in eonstrue-
five accomplishment, they utilize the facilities Of
existing committee. If an inquiry is TO be made into
the operations of portion of the State government
then the pertinent existing committee holds hear
ines" the subject.
On some occasions such Hearings" have produced
evidence that resulted in remedial legislation and better
government When this is true the findings have been
brought TO light Otherwise the subject of the "heang"
has been quietly forgotten
Not with Investigating Committees. These
groups, generally formed in the heat of Legislative pas
sion, the spot unless they produce something SEN
saonaI to back up the initial and usually wild CHARGES
that caused the formation of such superfuous committee
in the first place.
Probably there is no remedy for the occasional rash
OF special Investigating Committees They appear be
human frailty OF our Legislative process.
More serious as far the taxpayer goes, is
measure which has already passed the House of Rep
resenfatives to create permanent Investigating"
committee. This recalls the 1883 Session Of the Leg
4 isIature, which created like group.
The 1853 group earned considerable pay and per
diem hired high priced professional investigator from
the Outside and accomplished virtually nohing In 1855
the committee was silently put to death.
That same 1853 Session created Legislative Council
This group still in existence and has accomplished great
good for the State of Alaska.
The Council and its companion Audit Committee
have conducted plenty Of hearings" since their erea-
i zion. They fully capable Of handling the work Of
i the Legislature between Sessions.
The only possible justification for permanent I'm
vesgatng" committee would be to give added per diem
and prestige to additional members Of the Legislature We
wonder if the taxpayers will consider to be worth the
added expense?
