Charges Administration Neutral to Enemies,
 Friendly to the Neutrals, And Hostile to Friends

WASHINGTON R Sen. Bourke Hickenlooper of Iowa said today Republicans intend to con- tinue to "call attention to the fail ures, weakness and confusion" of Kennedy administration foreign policies.
 Hickenlooper, who heads the Senate Republican Policy Com mittee, accused the Democrats of glossing over the hemispheric danger presented by the Soviet military bastion in Cuba
 'The Republicans are not going to follow blindly mistaken and troublesome policy" he said. we intend to continue to call attention to the failures, weakness and con- fusion of recent policies. All you have to do is look around the world to see something is wrong."
 Although he did not couch it as such, the statements of Hicken- looper-senior COP member of the Foreign Relations Committee-ob- viously were made in answer to charges by chairman J. William Fulbright that Republicans were endangering free world unity by "divisive partisanship and ire sponsible attacks on our nations foreign policy"
 Fulbright directed his criticism: in a weekend statement primaril, toward New York Gov. Nelson A Rockefeller; Sen. Barry Gold water, and Sen. Hugh Scott. Rocke feller and Goldwater are possibl candidates for the 1864 COP Pres idential nomination.
 In a major defense of Presi l dent Kennedy's policies, Fulbrigh assailed Rockefeller for the gov ernor's assertion that the admins tration is to blame for "the pre- sent disarray within the Atlantic alliance"
 Fulbright said Rockefeller ano Goldwater were "professing sym pathy and support for the disrup- tive policies" of the French gov- ernment under President Charles De Gaulle.
 Fulbright said Scott, a former Republican National Chairman, was "even more incorporate" in saying that the administration is neutral to it's enemies, friendly to the neutralists and hostile to it's friends"

Hearing Held
 On Nome Airport

A hearing on the operation of the Nome Airport was held Friday evening at the City Hall at the re- quest of the FAA with Al Hulen, assistant administrator of the Alas ka region, presenting the proposal that Nome take over the airport. He explained the circumstances under which the field was built by the military during the war FAA Chen CAA) at the close Of hostilities.
 One of the main reasons for suggesting the field become city operated was due to unknown facts concerning budgets to cover the expense of the operation, also that 1t was not a function of the FAA to maintain airfields of this type.
 When queried as to a possible closing of the field if the state and city both turn down the offer, Mir. Hulen stated that the FAA can and would operate 5,00O-foot runway to carry on their work here.
 Many factors in the operation were discussed by the City Coun- Gil members, interested citizens and members of the FAA party, but it was felt that the brochure offered and prepared by the FAA did not give enough data for the
 city, so more information has beer
 requested.
 Wien Airlines, represented by if , vice president L. E. Parso
 raised a question concerning rt
 fueling costs which Wien had bee
 unable to collect from the militar,
 who make daily landings on tn field, which was a sum of owe $12,O00 and asked for considera :, , tion from FAA as his compan had been unable to get action O consideration in the matter. MT. Parsons highly praised MT Hulen for his work over many years in the development of avia tion in the State of Alaska.
 The transitional grants under which the airport has been oper- ated by FAA during the past three years run out in 1864. More study is to be made on this important matter.

Gov. Egan Says: Halibut Treaty Breaks Back of AbstentiOn Principle

JUNEAU R - Gov. Wm. Egan said yesterday the action of the International North Pacific Fish cries Commission in recommend ing Japanese entry into the eastern Bering Sea halibut fishery "broke the back of the treaty's abstention principle"
 Egan made the comment in testi- mony before the US. Senate-H House Merchant Marine and Fisheries Subcommittee, presided over by Sen. E. l.. Bartlett.
 The abstention principle of the treaty is based on full utilization of fisheries stocks. Egan said an In- ternational Pacific Halibut Con- mission report published in 1861 indicated that current regulations have been effective in providing sufficient fishing on both the Pa cific side of the Alaska Peninsula and in the Boring Sea to fully utilize present stocks.
 Egan noted a section in the re- port which said the annual rate of emigration of halibut in the Boring Sea reached 40 per cent. He said many of the halibut tagged in the eastern Boring were later caught as far south as Willapa Bay,. Wash
 When the North Pacific Fish cry Treaty became effective" he said, ''there was no evidence whatsoever of any out-migration habits of the Boring Sea halibut.
 "But now there is evidence this evidence is set forth in the Halibut Commission reports. The reports very clearly indicate be- lief on the part of the researchers that there is presently an adequate annual utilization of the Boring Sea halibut resource"
 Egan said the recommendation of the Commission, eff permitted to become effective" will forever ad- versely affect the opportunity of American fishermen to participate in fishery adjacent to our shores. Yet we were neither asked for our views nor forewarned."
 Bartlett, with reference to the fact that members of the treaty would be permitted to withdraw this June, asked Egan:
 Would you then recommend, governor, that the United States abrogate the treaty this year?"
 Egan replied: "No, I am not ex- pert enough to say if the treaty should be abrogated."

ment. The Mems Club, head
ed by Mr.. Joe Braddock, is
also active on the program.
The latter group supports an
unseen guest in the Metho-
dist Children's Home at
Jackson, contributing so that
a child there may benefit
from their gifts.
For the second year the
Acona Church sponsored the
Daily Vacation Bible School
last summer and it also ac-
copied the complete budget
from the Conference.
The Acona pastor, in ac-
cepting the Farm Bureau a
ward, lauded the program
and said he deemed it Of
great value to the rural
churches of the county, CIV
ing them an incentive.
He praised the Acona
church and people in tn e
community as small in num-
Der but "big in spirit"
Challenge Issued
At the same time he issued
a challenge to all the rural
churches of the county for
1868. The SAcona Church has
already started working on
the new program with two
Sunday School rooms having
already been added and new
carpeting for the aisles in the
sanctuary ordered.
One of the beautiful new
rooms is a memorial for the
late Mrs. j. D. Williams, a
faithful worker in the church
for many years.
Gift flowers for Mrs. Will
liams and Mr.. Bruce adorn-
ed the sanctuary for Sun
days service.
Williums' Message
The pulpit at the Acona
Church Sunday was occupied
by an outstanding Methodist
layman, the Honorable Par
ham H. Williams, Jr., dis
trict attorney, of Lexington.
An enjoyable feature of the
service was music by the
Young Peoples choir attired
in white robes with red ties.
Mr.. Williams spoke on the
Responsibility We Have AS
Christians He emphasized
the personal responsibility
each of us shares. This in
cludes respecting other peo-
pie as people, their rights
and their possessions, he
said.
An unyielding inner faith
is needed by today's Christ
ians, he stressed, in order
that We may be the kind of
Christian that will lead
others to Christ rather than
turn them away from him
because of our bad example.
