Anchorage Couple
 Take Off for Flight Over the North Pole

FAIRBANKS R - A Scandi- navian couple, with the wife a the controls, took off here at 1O:4i am. in their single-engine plane on Polar flight to Norway.
 If the flight succeeds, Ingrid Pedersen, 30, of Anchorage, will become the first woman to fly a light plane over the North Pole.
 Her navigator is her husband Einar, who has crossed over the Pole about 15O times as a navi- gator for Scandinavian Airlines System. He plans to make a photo graphic study of the northern ice cape.
 The Pedersens delayed their take off here several days await ing favorable weather over the polar region.
 They plan to fly nonstop to Nord, Greenland, a distance of about 2,40O miles, and reach there in about 20 hours. From Greenland they will make a 10-hour hop to Bodo, Norway. Their route will take them over Pt. Barrow and Arlis II ice island before reaching the Pole.
 Pedersen said their plane car ried about 270 gallons of fuel, enough for 2,7O0 miles with a nor nal headWind, and Arctic survival gear that would keep them 
 The couple said the primary reason for the flight is the ice-cap studies.

All Possible
 Aid Promised to Bristol Bay Area

JUNEAU tR - The White House has promised all assistance possible to the people of Bristol Bay area, Gov. Vim. Egan said today.
 The some $500 residents of the area who depend primarily on the red salmon fishery of Bristol Bay for their livelihood are facing a bleak winter following a disastrous salmon season.
 Egan asked President Kennedy last week to declare the Bristol Bay region a disaster area, so quick and adequate federal assist ance could be made available to meet the emergency.
 Replying to Egan's request, Ed ward McDermott, Director of Emergency Planning for President Kennedy, said:
 we are investigating as to what federal aid can be made available. The Alaskan congress sional delegation has also wired the President and furnished addi- tional information on the extent of the hardship. You can be sure that all assistance possible will be directed to that area.
 "We will advise you further when we have information or specific measures for assistance.
 ''The President is concerned anc extends his sympathy to those who are affected by the failure of the salmon fishing industry

De Caulle Snubs Moscow Test
 Ban Agreement

1 PARIS R - President Charles De Gaulle today snubbed the Mos COW agreement for a limited nu- clear test ban and coldly rejected the idea of non-aggression pact between NATO and the Warsaw pact nations.
 At the same time, he declared that French-US relations are too tightly embedded in historical friendship and alliances to be deeply disturbed by present diff ferences in policy.
 De Gaulle spoke to a jam packed news conference in an ornate re- ception room at the Elysee Palace About 800 reporters, cabinet mem- bers, deputies and government of ficials sat on gilded chairs while the president held forth in the manner of a history professor for an hour and a quarter.
 This was his first news con- ference since January when he vetoed BritainS entry into the Common Market and spurned an American offer of POlaris missiles as the price of joining a NATO atomic force.
 De Gaulle said that the Moscow agreement initialed by the United States, Great Britain and Russia to halt testing of nuclear weapons had really changed nothing. He said France could not be expected to halt it's own tests aimed at making it a full-fledged member of the atomic club.
 But, he added, France is still interested in disarmament. He said that he has some ideas for ways of controlling cosmic, aerial and sea-born delivery systems and planned to invite Interested coun- tries" to a disarmament conference before the end of the year. He did not spell out who would be in- vited, but implied that the atomic powers - Great Britain, the United States, Russia and France-Should attend.

Nikita Says It Will be a Long Time Before China Acquires Nuclear Devices

WASHINGTON R - Under secretary of State Averell Harri- man today quoted Soviet Premier Khrushchev as voicing belief it will be "a long, long time' before Red China develops "a nuclear capability of any importance"
 Hartman said Khrushchev ex- pressed this opinion during Mos COW negotiations which led to the initialling of a U.S.- .-British-Soviet agreement banning nuclear test ing in the air, undersea and in space.
 Hartman reported this Khrush- chev remark to reporters after he had discussed the test ban treaty for three hours with three Senate committees.
 Senators bombarded Hartman with numerous questions in the closed session. Some of the questions dealt with whether Russia would abrogate the treaty, under a veto clause, if Red China developed a nuclear capacity.
 MT. Khrushchev did not ap- pear overly concerned over such a development" Hartman told newsmen who raised the question with him.
 Hartman d d d Khrushchev voiced belief Red China lacks the industrial base for development of nuclear capacity, including weapons and delivery systems. And Hartman added Russia hasn't given Red China any technical assistance of an industrial nature since 1860.
 The senators who met with liar riman were members of the Foreign Relations, Armed Services and Senate-House Atomic Energy Committees.
 Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield said the senators were told "there are no gimmicks" in the treaty.
 Senate Republican leader Everett Dirksen had used this word in de- scribing a provision under which he said any signatory could veto any future amendment to the treaty"
 'This is an open agreement openly arrived at," Mansfield said. There are no gimmicks or any side issues in it."

North Korean
 Reds Kill Two
 American Soldiers

SEOUL P - North Korean troops killed two American sol diers and wounded another today in dawn ambush just south of the demilitarized zone about 20 miles from Seoul, the LIN. Command an- nounced.
 Col. George Creel, LIN. Com mand spokesman, said the Reds launched "a vicious and unpro- voked attack" on three members of the US. 1st Cavalry Division as they rode in jeep to a guard post near Chungyang-Dong.
 Creel said the American soldiers were hit by machine gun fire and grenades which apparently came from seven ambush positions just inside the demilitarized zone.
 There was no immediate com ment from the Pentagon on the in- cident, which occurred two months after a helicopter carrying two American captains was fired on and forced down in Red territory.
 The North Koreans have refused to release the captains despite US. demands in the mixed Armistice Commission.
 The ambushers could easily con- ceal themselves. That part of the demilitarized zone has grown into a virtual jungle since the armistice ending the Korean War was sign ed 10 years ago.

More Survivors
 Are Plucked from Earthquake Ruins

SKOPJE, Yugoslavia R - Ten more survivors were plucked from the death tombs of Skopje's earth quake ruins today, nearly four days after a catastrophe demolished this city The count of the dead mount ed toward 1000.
 A French team of disaster specialists, working with in- credibly delicate sounding devices, picked up voice after voice from beneath the desolate mounds of piled rubble.
 Each new find spurred rescue workers on in the hope of finding more life under the tons of wreck age.
 Earlier in the day, Premier Alexander Grlickov of Macedonia said no more survivors could req sonably be expected to be dug up after today He said the govern ment would order wholesale raging and bulldozing operations.
 But even while he spoke, the French teams were locating more life in the rubble.
 First to be found alive today was a small girl, still alive 80 hours after entombment.
 Survivors fled the city by the thousands, fearing the outbreak of a typhus epidemic.
 On the fourth day after the cata- clysmic quake demolished the city, the stench of cracked sewers, hu- man waste and refuse mingling with the smell of decomposing bodies lay like stifling blanket over the sun-soaked area. Tenn peratures were in the sos.
 From the ruins of the Hotel Macedonia, workmen dug out the bodies of a man and woman pre- sumed to be the first American dead in the disaster.
 Officials said they concluded that the bodies were those of an American Air Force sergeant sta toned in Europe and his German wife
 An automobile, with identifica tion papers of Staff Sgt. Harold Stacy of Governeru, NY, in the glove compartment, has been standing near the hotel since the quake struck the city Friday. The couple were on their way to Greece from Germany on a va,ation.

Word About Bi.Racial Meetings

In September 1889 we began editing and pub
fishing the jackson Advocate, with of the
cornerstones Of our editorial policy being aimed at
the creation of climate of opinion in which re-
sponsible Negro and white citizens could come to-
gether discuss plan and work toward solution
to the race problem in the state
In 1949 or thereabout, after successful cam
paign that had put the Negroes the high road
to voting and political participation with the help
of growing number of white leaders of the state,
as result of some national recognition for our eff
fort, we had the unusual honor and opportunity TO
be invited by Justice Black of the United States
Supreme Court to come to his chambers in Wash
ington to discuss with him. and to receive of his
wisdom and understanding of the south, and it's
race problem.
Justice Black, among other things confirmed
what already editorial policy by conclud-
ing his talks and advice by saying that the south
will become the best place in the world for the two
races to live and make progress together in har-
mony and goodwill responsible Negro and
white leaders start meeting and working together
for a solution to the race problems. A problem
which he concluded is not impossible of solution.
In early 1854 after one of our editorials on the
subject had become the subject of discussion at
symposium at the University of Mississippi at Ok
ford at our suggestion the Honorable Hugh White,
then Governor of the state called what per-
haps the first statewide meeting of Negro lead
ers to discuss the subject of relations in the
history of the state 1t is not intention to deal
with this history here.
In working towards the time when it will be
possible for white and Negro leaders to work to-
gether toward solution of the problem, time
that has been greatly deferred by events that have
come about since 1854, we have always recognized
the right of those in positions Of authority to ap
point committees, and select those with whom they
choose to meet in absolute independence of the WILL
coercion, threats of any other individual or
groups.
Our position in regard to this exclusive right
of those in authority is prompted by the fact that,
unlike some of the civil rights groups, we are of
the opinion that the differences among responsible
Negro leaders is over some of the methods being
used in order to achieve universally excepted goals
In this view, would not, and we of the opin-
ion that it is affront to such authority and does
the Negro cause good for any organization or
group to demand that this official right be abdi-
Gated in their favor.
Having said thus, we say again as we said from
our beginning in 1889, that are aiming towards
the time when responsible Negro and white leaders
can meet and work together towards a solution to
the race problem, in the firm belief as Justice
Black told u.s. that with responsible Negro and
white leaders meeting and working together the
south including Jackson and Mississippi can be
made the greatest place in the world for the two
races to live and progress together in peace har-
mony and goodwill.

BY JAMES RUNDLES

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
A LONG TIME When me
and the boys got together on
the upper end of the ole ave-
nue. we talked about something
that really needed to be talked
about. 1t all started when this
good brother, who lives out in
Washington's Addition, eased
up to the table where we was
gathered and ordered a round
of beer. Well this Immediate
ly got him the floor and
he started talking. Naturally
we was sitting in a cafe and he
just happened to look at the
Menu (and it was something to
look at) but this brother from
the west side mentioned the
fact that he wasn't so disturbed
about not being able to get a
good meal in a restaurant as he
was about not being able to
get a good meal at home. He
said a whole lot of the other
brothers was saying the same
thing, and it didn't have moth
ing to do with the women work
ing and not having time to do
it. This brother said there
wasn't no such thing as a
"good home cooked meal" any
more. He said nowadays they
just throw that little stuff to-
gether and put it on the table
and you eat it if you want to
and let it alone if you don't,
but that's all you got. He went
on to say that he remembered
the time when he'd walk in the
house and what was cooking
would be smelling so good until
his old lady (wife) almost had
to draw a gun on him to keep
him out her way til she got it
done. Now he says she almost
has to draw a gun on him to
make him come get it. He said
that he didn't want nobody to
think that he was downing"
the women cause they was al
right as far as he was con-
cerned but he shore would
like to set down to a good home
cooked meal ONCE IN A
WHILE.
