Oh Men, Oh Women

comedy about a pSychO-analyst
who finds that his own fiance rubs
his neurOsis the wrong way, has

the role of a quiet conscientious
practitioner of the mystic art of
unSnarling other peoples emotional
problems and as the play starts he
is on the eve of marrying Mary
Ann Craig in her role of attractive
little mink
The story details how this person
who is about as irrational as an at
tractivc female can get, drives nuts
the doctors specializing in curing
nuttincss. This hurts his profess
sional pride as we'll as his equili-
brium.
In the course of the play two full
sessions Of patients on the psyche
analyst couch are staged and dur
ing the long New York run these
instances of soul-thrashing revela-
tions we're considered the funniest
elements of the comedy.
Phil Jones Will be the whimsical
patient who takes his place on the
confessional couch to tell the doc

bothersomc amorous young woman
out OF his mind. After disclosing a
good deal about her the patient

tic seeker after mental oStcopathy,
a woman with a lot Of problems
with her husband and in giving
the doctor her story she reveals
that her husband also had an init
mate knowledge of the doctors in
tended bride
The main plot of the play is not
considered merely with this sur
prise twist but with the doctors
earnest effort to help his Wife-to-be
find out in her sub-cOnScious why
She overlooked telling him about
this past of hers.
Others in the cast will be Patti
Dillon, Neil Flanagan, Jim Gates,
Steve Ben Israel. The production

Khrushchev Sends Tough Message Insists on March Summit Meeting

WASHINGTON R = A tough new message from Premier Khrushchev, insisting that Presi- dent Kennedy agree to March summit meeting, chilled US. hopes today for any kind of suc- cessful negotiations with the So- viet Union at the forthcoming Geneva conference.
 The letter, delivered to the State Department Thursday, also raised grave suspicion among of ficials here that Khrushchev is trying to use the approaching dis armament conference as a device to prevent Kennedy from order ing new series of atmospheric nuclear tests. Officials judged the 20-page message to be loaded with propaganda.
 The United States planned to start immediate consultation with Britain and other allies on Ken nedy reply to Khrushchev turn ing down his latest summit con- ference bid. But the State De- partment informally reject e d Khrushchev's insistent urging in a statement Thursday night
 The statement said the US. government feels that it's proposal to open disarmament talks with foreign ministers, with the pos sibility of a summit session later on, lis the proper one and the one best designed to lead to order ly progress in the disarmament negotiations.
 This statement undoubtedly foreshadows the line of Kennedy's reply which is also expected to express hope once again that, as the statement said, ssthe Soviet Union will agree to the joint United States United Kingdom proposal for the foreign ministers meeting"

Eight Persons File Applications for Mineral Prospecting Permits On 32,3lS Acres of Submerged Land Off Nome

JUNEAU tR State Lands Di- rector Roscoe Bell disclosed yes terday the Shell Oil Co. and eight individuals have filed applica- tions for mineral prospecting per mits on 32,318 acres of submerged lands in Norton Sound off Nome.
 Their goal: Gold.
 Bell said the sudden rash of applications was touched off by a unique feature of Alaska's mining regulations.
 Gov. Wm. Egan said it was premature to say whether the prospecting still to come will dis close an economically feasible operation.
 Certainly, it is possible that Nome's offshore area may be every bit as rich as the beach and inland area which made Nome famous at the turn of the century.
 If such is the case, techno- logical advances should now make feasible the recovery of these riches"
 Shell Oil Go. was the first to file an application for $2O min eral prospecting permit on sub- merged lands in the Nome area.

Sherard Claims The $4 Million w as Not Needed

JUNEAU tR - The entire S4,- 008,333 supplemental appropria- tion asked by the administration for highways is not all needed, former state road chief Thurman Sherard testified against last night.
 It was the third or fourth time that Sherard made the same state- ment before the Senate's special Highways Investigating Commit tee. Last night, the comment came in answer to questions by Sens. Howard Bradshaw and John Cog hill.
 Bradshaw brought out that the Department of Public works chief fiscal officer, l.. A. Woodman, had written several memos, including one to Sherard, pointing out the reasons for the $4,008, ,333 request.
 Did you send Woodman any correspondence disagreeing with his figures justifying the $4,O08,- 333?" Bradshaw saked.
 @SO3 AAOt IAAdt 4 lt.ltlEIlUGl, Was Sherard's reply.
 The only reason I ask,' Brad- shaw said, If because you say that the entire $4 million is not needed, you apparently do not agree with your chief fiscal of ficer.''
 Only S2.3 Million Needed
 Sherdard said Woodman advised him verbally that only $2.3 mill lion was actually needed and that this was the same impression he received during discussions of the matter in the offices of Gov Vim. Egan and Public Works Com1nis- sioner Richard Downing.
 Bradshaw previously had asked Sherard how much time he spent on fiscal matters, after saying that he, Bradshaw, felt that fiscal and budgetary matters are one of the most important functions of

are: Frank Mate, Clear, 280 acres; Charles s. Grove, and Clayton Rasmussen, An h orage, 1,31S; Lee l.. Newman, Seattle, 5,120; 2. J. Stamford, Anchorage, 5,120; Fred Pankratz, Fairbanks, 5,120; F. A. Meserve, Edmonds, Wn., 5,120: Owen D. Davis, Seattle, 5,120.
 It was not known immediately whether there was any overlap in the applications.
 When the states mining regu- lations were adopted last summer, provision was made for mineral prospecting permits, new con- cept in minerals exploration law, and offshore mining leases.
 The mineral prospecting per- init provides for the protection of a prospector's rights in an ex- ploratory area if he finds work able deposits.
 In other words, a prospector with a mineral prospecting per- init is assured of being able to file for a mineral lease on the land he is exploring, without having someone else beat him

 Military Installations at Anchorage and Fairbanks


 JUNEAU R A resolution asking for dispersal of military installations around Anchorage and Fairbanks to less populated areas of the State was introduced in the House today.
 The dispersal was asked ssin the interests of national defense and the protection of lives and prop erty in Alaska's two largest metropolitan areas.

 The measure requests the Alas ka congressional delegation to make the necessary representa- tions to appropriate persons and agencies of the federal govern ment" for the dispersal of the de- fense installations involved.

 Rep. Kenneth Garrison said the tests would only take a few ex- tra minutes of laboratory work after the required pre-marital astrological tests.
 "This clause could save two or three lives in the State each year, !" Garrison said.

Glenn Awarded  Service Medal

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. R =. President Kennedy gave astro- naut John H. Glenn Jr., a medal today for his historic flight around the world and said for the nation, Eve appreciate it..
 It was a simple but dramatic ceremony before Hangar "S'', the area where the 40-year- Ma rine lieutenant colonel lived and trained for his flight Tuesday three times around the world in four hours and 56 minutes.
 Afterwards, Glenn and the President stood before the mu- scum bound space capsule Friendship 7'' and Glenn told Kennedy of his flight, especially the re-entry phase.
 For Glenn it was an emotion packed day, one which saw him swipe at his eyes with a handler chief when he was reunited with his wife, children, pareats and l in-laws.
 Presented Medal
 In presenting Glenn the Dis 1 tinguished Service Medal of the I National Aeronautics and Space l Administration, Kennedy said "17
 years ago the Marines planted the American flag on Mt. Suribach 1.-Two Jirna) and maybe il the not too distant future, Col ! Glenn and the Marine Corps, Q t a Navy man or an airman wi } plant the American flag on tn ], Moon" He gave similar medal tt Robert Gilruth, Project Mercury Director, and because of emotion Gilruth could say little save 'tI'm very, very proud. :" In replying to the Presidents presentation, Glenn looked first at the standing and applauding audience. With a grin of seeming embarrassment, he asked:: "Sit down, please"
 Then the tanned and fit-look- ing astronaut said, T can't express my appreciation"
 Once more he said the whole mission was the end result of a team effort and added, "I was sort of figurehead for the whole effort"
