French Plan
South Pacific
Test Center

PARIS, May / (AP).-The
first firm details were reported
today on lone-rumored French
plans to establish q nuclear
test center in the Pacific.
The semiofficial French News
Agony, in a dispatch from Pa
peete, Tahiti. quoted a Gen.
Thirty, the head of a civil-mili-
tary mission there, as saying
the center will be located on
Mururoa Atoll. near Tahiti, and
will be functioning in three
years. The Tahiti group of
islands is part of French Poly
nesia and is about 5000 miles
northeast of New Zealand.
Officials in Paris refused to
comment on the report.
Gen. Thirty. who arrived last
week at Tahiti, told a news con-
ference at Papeete yesterday
that only a testing range in the
Oceanic region would permit
the studies and realizations
which French technicians now
must carry out.
French sources have said
previously that preliminary
work is under way on a French
hydrogen bomb and that one
should be operational by 1870.
France has an atomic test
range in the Algerian Sahara
but is under pressure from the
Algerians to halt testing there.
Gen. Thirty said in addition
TO the main base on the
Mururoa Atoll, an airport will
be located on the Hao Atoll and
q secondary strip will be avail
able on Anaa Atoll. The sup
port base will be on Tahiti. In
all 1000 to 5000 persons will
be employed.
During the preliminary phase
port traffic at Papeete is ex-
pected to increase 10000 to
$4,000 tons annually, or about
40 per cent.

only q few hours, then fly
direct to Dublin, capital Of the
Irish Free State which was the
homeland Of Mr.. Kennedy's
ancestors.
Two or three days will be
allowed for the Irish visit,
which will feature a trip to the
Kennedy family cottage at New
Ross, Wexford County.
Mr.. Kennedy plans to return
TO Washington about June 20.
There have been reports from
West Germany that the Presi-
dent might visit Munich and
Heidelberg but. so far as could
be learned here, stops in those
cities are not planned.
Mr.. Kennedy also has been
invited to go to Northern Ire
land but this, too. seemed
unlikely.

Illinois Public Aid Chief
Ousted by State Senate

H., May l
(~AP). Maremont,
wealthy Chicago industrialist,
has been dismissed as chair
man Of the Illinois Public Aid
Commission by the State Sem
ate.
The Senate voted yesterday,
"a to 0, to withdraw its con-
firmation of Gov. Otto Ker-
ner's appointment Of Mr.. Mare
mont, author Of q controversial
irth-control program for pub
lie aid recipients. Republicans
cast all the votes, as Demo-
cratic Senators remained silent
on the roll call.
The vote followed a message
to the Senate by Gov. Kerner,
a Democrat, who said that Mr.
Maremont, also q Democrat,
had outlived his usefulness as
commission chairman.
The action by the Repub-
lican Senators appeared as q
retaliation against Mr.. Mare
mont's charges that some
g. o. P. Senators we're anti
Negro In their demands that
ceilings be placed on relief
checks. Mr.. Maremont also
had charged that the Repub-
lican Senators were opposed
TO a public aid appropriation
because Negroes helped to
elect" Democratic Mayor Rich
ard j. Daley of Chicago to a
third term last month.
The Senate last week had
confirmed Mr.. Maremont as
commission chairman. But after
his remarks at a news con-
ference, members voted to re-
consider the confirmation.
Mr.. Maremont indicated he
would not fight his removal
as chairman.
The industrialist, who was
appointed to the non-salaried

had sought to push a contro-
versial birth control program
for persons on relief. The pro-
gram, which started April /,
permits the commission to dis
tribute birth control devices
and information free to mothers
on public aid rolls who request
them regardless of whether
they are living with their hus-
bands or whether they are
married.
Attorney General William @
Clark has refused to defend a
court suit against the program
but Mr. Maremont and other
commission members have
hired a private attorney to fight
the case. Mr.. Clark said sup
plying contraceptives to UNI
married women was unconsti-
|tutional and immoral.

Mr.. Bow and other Repub-

Visit
To Rome Still.
IS ndecided

White House officials said
today that it has dot yet been
decided whether President
Kennedy will 60 to Rome DUR
ing his working visit" to Italy
in June
A state visit BY the President
and Mrs. Kennedy to Rome
was postponed recently until
next year with the revised
plan calling for the President
to go alone on a working visit
to meet somewhere in Italy
with Italian Premier Fanfani.
The changed plans made II
likely that the meeting with
the Italian Premier will take
place somewhere in Italy out
side Rome, but officials said
Rome has not been ruled out
as the site Of the conference.
Farley Set on Plans
A group Of White House Of
ficials expects to go to New
York next week to make de-
tailed plans for the Presidents
trip in late June. A spokesman
said the itinerary in Italy will
not be determined until after
the advance party confers with
Italian officials.
During the European trip,
expected to last a week or more
the President also plans to visit
Ireland, Bonn and Berlin, and
possibly other points in Ger
many.
The Associated Press report
ed earlier that the Presidents
ian Prime Minister will be at q
retreat not far from Milan, an
industrial city 30 miles south
Of the Swiss border.
If he does bypass Rome this

tually erase all possibility Of

The second largest appropri-
alton bill in Congress this year
went to the Senate today after
House passage but also with
predictions that the eventual
total would be still bigger.
In approving a $5.4 billion
measure for the Labor and
Health, Education and Labor
departments, the House late
yesterday trimmed $1,000 in
addition to indorsing $309.5
million in cuts recommended by
the Appropriations Committee.
But some Democrats voiced a
suspicion that many of the re-
auctions were unreal and would
have to be made up next year.
And some Republicans ex-
pressed apprehension that the
Senate not only would reverse
many of the House cuts but
also add new millions to the
bill.
Sewer Water Funds
One such Senate move was
expected to center on more
funds for Federal grants to
help communities build waste
treatment facilities for water
pollution control. The House
voted 500 million, $40 million
less than the administration
requested. An attempt by Rep
~resentative Blatnik, Democrat
Of Minnesota, to restore the $40
million was defeated yesterday,
147-l24.
All or part Of an $1S million
cut approved by the House
yesterday on recommendation
Of its Appropriations Commit
tee may be restored to the Ma
tional Institutes of Health
when the Senate takes up the
bill. No move was made to do
so in the House.
The $1,000 Cut
The only money change voted
by the House in the commit
tees bill was to slice $1,000
from q $4,000 item for a re-
ception in connection with a
scheduled Washington meeting
Of the international Social Sc
curity Association.
Representative Bow. Repub-
lican Of Ohio, said he sponsored
the amendment because social
security administrators, of all
people. should enjoy themselves
on a Spartan diet. Representa-
tive Fogarty, Democrat of
Rhode Island. explained that
more than 800 persons would
attend the reception and re-
ceive coffee, tea or milk. He
added that "the distilleries
won't make a dime out Of this"
But the amendment carried on
a standing vote.

lican Of Iowa, succeeded in get

THE BUOY LINE

Pm sorry to be late this month, but I just returned to the office from a three-week trip to our fleet at Adak, and this gives me a chance to report just what the fishermen are saying about this North Pacific mess-and believe me, they're saying plenty
 And they should. We all should. Because every time one branch of our government had taken a firm position, another branch gets busy and starts chopping it down. Take look at the record. AS early as 1945 President Truman saw what was going to happen, and he issued Proclamation which said, in part, 'In view of the pressing need for conservation and pro- lection of fishery resources -. the United States regards it as proper to establish conservation zones contiguous to the coasts of the United States wherein fishing activities have been or in the future may be :. maintained"
 This seems clear enough, but when the time came to put it to work, we wound up with the weak-kneed gentleman's agree ment in the "Abstention Princi- ple.' Significantly, MT. Ed Al len one of the original negotia- tors testified before Senator Magnuson's Committee in Se- attle last month, ''They wouldn't let us make it any stronger" Who wouldn't? We'll, the State Department was in charge of things.
 But the State Department doesn't always have the last word, either. The United Ma

Approximately one-third of the 94,698 cases of shrimp canned in Alaska in 1862 was put up by King Crab Inc. which canned 31,948 cases as compared with 25,286 cases canned in all of Oregon and Wash ington canneries.

 Anchorage Chamber of Commerce and their guests ate a hot King Crab dish at the luncheon meeting March 25th prepared by Monsieur Marcel Chemery, top Chef of Air France.
 After enjoying this hot crab dish, Chef Chemery, who is the "chef des cuisines" of the entire Air France showed the crowd how to prepare King Crab Air France"- his name for the new gourmet de- light.
 In it's preparation Cognac, white wine and Pernod were used lib- erally, according to Lowell Wake field who attended the luncheon.
 Chef Chemery made special trip from Paris to Alaska to see the King Crab in its native habitat: to see it caught processed and pre- pared for market. Last week Mon- sieur Chemery was a guest of Charles Hendrix and Wakefield Fisheries on a flight to Seldovia where he witnessed the fishing and processing in full operation.
 "The dish - King Crab AIT France - will be used on all inter continental flights of Air France" Chef Chemery told the Anchorage Chamber. "Your fresh frozen King Crab is gourmet food of the fl. t category. I like it very much. That is why I came to Alaska to see for

 Alaska's own Senator E. L. Bob" Bartlett called attention to this Convention last week, when he asked Secretary State Rusk to enforce the con- tinental shelf regulations Whic l clearly seems to include crlb and I believe might well-if an other convention was held to morrow - include all fishery species.
 This very point came up at the 1856 and 1858 Geneva c ,n- ventions, but our State Depart ment got in it's licks-with the result that no agreement was reached. However, it now turns out that the whole continent of South America. most of Africa and several European countries are all in favor of exclusive fish ing zones mainly as a means of conservation. India would like to see at least 100 miles off shore. Brazil stoutly defended her continental shelf in the face of Frances navy just few days ago, and it seems to me that Senator Bartlett is on the right track.
 So my idea is that we ought 70 get behind him and present a united demand to our State He- partment that they do something for the fishermen instead of to them-just for change. What do you think?

Invitation to TRAGEDY

Unless the General Assembly does
something about 1t, the Commonwealth
of Virginia stands to become paradise
for habitual traffic law offenders. The
gates to this unwholesome prospect were
opened when Attorney General Button,
asked for an Interpretation of present
statutes, was obliged to answer: IT am
:. OF the opinion that under existing
law the court may not consider the
record Of prior convictions Of the accused
for the purpose Of fixing the penalty
for single traffic violation for which
the accused is charged"
Under this construction, which most
judges would be expected TO respect, any
speeder or reckless driver must be
treated as a first violator, whether his
past is spotless or as checkered as one
drivers whose incredible record almost
filled the editorial columns Of the
Richmond Dispatch. Arrested 20
times in nine years, this menace to life
and limb has paid out $3.50 for 10 fines,
served seven jail terms and lost his
license four times. Yet he, and those like
him, can go into court with hands
ostensibly as clean as the first-time
violator's.
Mr.. Buttons opinion, whether bind
ing or not, almost surely will influence
those judges who have been looking up
defendants records and sentencing them
accordingly But there is at least one
hopeful sign. Mr.. Buttons opinion was
delivered at the request Of a member Of
the Virginia Advisory Legislative Council
now studying highway safety, and 1t is

On Choosing Judges

A questioner at President Kennedy's
news conference asked for comment on
a charge by Governor Rockefeller that
the Kennedy administration had been
appointing "segregationist judges" to
the Federal courts in the South. The
political pitfall in this query was dug a
little deeper when the questioner added
that some NAACP officials had been
saying pretty much the same thing
privately.
The President gave an excellent
answer. He said that while he might
not personally agree with every decision
by every Federal Judge in the South, he
would say that theirs, on the whole, has
been an extraordinary and very credit
able record. This is true, and it was good
to have the President say it.
Governor Rockefeller'S 1864 political
ambitions are not even thinly disguised.
Neither are the political implications of
his charge. And the latter, If carried into
effect, could undermine and possibly
destroy the Federal judiciary.
Is the inference that only "integra-
ZIONIST" judges should be named in the
South2 If so, what becomes of respect
for the Federal courts2 And why limit
this to the question Of segregation or
integration2 Why not subject prospec-
tive nominee to litmuS test of his
personal preferences on such other
things as balanced budgets, birth control,
cigarette-smoking and the current fash
ions in women's hair-do's2 A case in
volving any of these might come some
day before his court.
The choice of man for judgeship,
we would like to think, depends basically
on his competence in his profession, his
personal integrity, his willingness to be
guided by the law as interpreted by the
Supreme Court, and, in situations in
which new ground must be broken, by
his readiness and courage to render a
judgment which, on balance, seems most
fair to him. Let's keep doctrinaire tests
and vote-seeking tests out of the judicial
selection process.
