happened to you or you are parent, to
one of your children, we would no doubt
hear loud protests of WHY did someone

srecs,'ation Arises Soviets Plan New Move on Berlin

BERLIN tP = Lack of news about Walter Ulbricht, East German Communist leader, has brought speculation that he and Soviet Pre- mlef khrushehev are working out some new move on Berlin.
 Whatever the move might eli probably would De bad news for Berllners. Just the silence about Ulbrieht is enough to worry many people.
 0lhrleht and his No ? man, act ing Premier Willi stoph. flew 10 the Soviet Union Aug. 1. Nobody said just where they were going. khrushehev was known to be rest ing then on the shore of the Black Sea.
 Since Aug. 4 there has been no word of Ulbritch and Stoph's ae- tivities
 Authoritative predictions have been heard that Khrushehev will go to the United Nations General Assembly meeting this fall. Specu- latlon followed in Moscow that he might sign a separate peace treaty with Ulbritch and then try to get a LIN. approval.
 The prevailing opinion in West Berlin IS that Khrushchev would sign a treaty only after calling "peace conference
 Last year also Ulbriteh made midsummer trip to the Soviet Union. Two weeks later the Com munists closed the Berlin zonal border and began building the wall.

Three US. U-2 Planes Will Operate In Britain

LONDON LR - Three US. U-2 planes will fly into Britain to operate from a British base, eaus- ing some protests.
 An Air Ministry announcement Friday night said they will carry out atmospheric sampling and high altitude weather research.
 It was in a U-2 plane that Capt. Francis Gary Powers was downed in the Soviet Union two years ago -an incident that caused an inter national crisis and wrecked the Paris summit conference.
 The U=2s will be unarmed and will operate over international waters of the North Atlantic, the Air Ministry said.
 This will be continuation of a series of flights inaugurated by US. authorities in 1858 to collect samples and determine the con centration of radioactive debris spread into the stratosphere by nu- clear tests.
 British observers speculated that samples collected by the U-2s might provides clues on how near the Soviets are to the anti-missile missile, about which it's military chief have boasted recently.

Sen. Bartlett Urges
Sen. Bartlett Urges
 Public Land Laws In Alaska Be the Same as Lower IS

WASHINGTON dP = Sen. E. l.. Bartlett proposed Thursday that Congress make operation of public land laws in Alaska the same as that in other states.
 He told Senate Interior Sub committee the action is needed especially by Barrow and Vain wright, which are located on the Arctic coast and within a Navy Petroleum Reserve.
 Bartlett said the proposal would allow the disposal of surface rights in public land suitable for town- site development while reserving to the government all mineral rights.
 He added that special admins tfatlve procedures previously used in California - would permit the Navy to release to the Interior Department land desired for set tlement to depth of 250 feet, hold ing under Naval control land be- low that depth.
 Speaking of the two Alaskan villages. Bartlett said:
 The two communities have long been settled = settled in fact be- fore It was ever imagined that a petroleum reserve would be ere ated in this area
 ssThe people in these communi- ties have never had an opportunity to own the land upon which their homes are built. As a result they have not had freedom to sell the lands, use as security for home 1 construction, or enjoy any of the other advantages of ownership.
 This situation will continue in- definitely unless Congress either enacts special legislation for the villagers or approves this bill, which would enable them to qualify for toWnsite tracts under existing law
 Bartlett said he had been as sufed that the proposal has nc bearing on the question of abori- glnal rights among the Eskimo people. But he added:
 A day must soon come when the question of aboriginal rights in Alaska are given the fullest at tention by Congress- The delay which has attended the establish ment of Alaska native rights has been unjust.

ECONOMIC STATISTICS EXERT INCREASING EFFECT ON BUSINESS
 BY SAM DAWSON
AP Business News Analyst

NEW YORK tP - Economic statistics are fascinating q growing number of people these days. The next recession when and if will arrive after a flow of publicity will be the envy of every Broad way press agent.
 Pouring forth in ever greater volume from electronie eomputers, figures fashion the thinking and planning of businessmen, help set wage scales, send customers to the stores or keep them away, influ- ence the setting of interest rates, determine stock trading decisions.
 The making of charts has long been preoccupation of many stock traders. They buy or sell when the figures reach prede- termlned point called break through and seem to indicate a trend. An even if the bull or bear market doesn't materialize as the charts suggested, the number of trades acting upon the signals they give will have an immediate, if passing, effect on current stock prices.
 As economic statistics multiply and more economists study them for hints of future trends, business men pay more heed. Now the pub lie is taking up the practice. News papers and magazines are full of forecasts based on the trends that some see in the statistics.
 Congress is urged to react to them, or to wait for them. Consu- mer psychology is affected by the figures themselves, when once it followed actual personal experi- ence.
 Just as buying or selling by chart followers can influence the stock market, so studying of econ omlc statistics and acting on such guidelines may bring on trend or aecentuate it. At least, that seems to be the view of William M. Martin, Fed eral Reserve Board chairman Tn telling the House-Senate Economic Committee why he thinks another recession may be far from certain or imminent, he said.
 T sometimes wonder if We have not become overly sensitive to cyclical indicators. We read, watch. study and talk about them SC much that we may have become like medical students who acquire each disease as they read about it's symptoms in their textbooks"
 Martin was discussing the re- liance placed by many of late on the so-called leading indicators among business statistics. These include such things as stock prices. the average work week in manu- featuring, new orders for durable goods, housing starts, corporate profits.
 But businessmen and the public = will go on watching the statistics and drawing conclusions from them. Many will do this who <lO

MINNEsoTA'S KARL RoLVAAc

Karl Rolvaag, the DFL candidate for
Governor, is the father of two children,
a decorated veteran of World War II
and a successful businessman.
He was born 49 years ago in North
field, where he grew up. His father, Ole
Rolvaag, was a professor at St. Olaf
College, and author of the classic novel,
Giants in the Earth" Because of his
fathers untimeIy death in 1881, Rol-
vaag was forced to quit St. Olaf in his
Freshman year to 60 to work.
Those were depression days with jobs
scarce. The youthful RoIvaag worked
as lumberjack, Eanch-hand and miner
in the Far West. Swinging double
bitted axe, he learned the value of
dollar the hard way.
He managed to resume college classes
in 1887, then graduated with honors.
After graduation in 1911, he joined the
Army to get his few months" of mill
tary service out of the way. The Jap
anese changed those plans with their
attack on Pearl Harbor, and the few
months" turned into years" At Camp
Polk, La, Rolvaag rose from Private
to Staff Sergeant, then was appointed to
Officers Candidate School from which
he was commissioned End 1t. in the
Cavalry.
Serving with the famed 4th Armored
Division in General George Patton'S
Third Army, Karl Rolvaag was award
ed the Silver Star medal for gallantry
in action in Normandy and later was
severely wounded by shrapnel. Those
