MILK PRICES
 COMPARE WELL

Matanuska Valley m l k prices, in ratio to Alaska wage standards, compare favorably to milk costs in other states, Sig Restad, director of the Di- vision of Agriculture, said yes terday at the Matanuska Val ley Chamber of Commerce luncheon meeting. He noted June Dairy Month, i'm e when members of the dairy in dustry get together to publicize their products.
 The Alaska hourly wage of $5.86 cents an hour, almost double the $3.01 rate elsewhere, can be compared to the Anch- orage area milk price of 45c a quart and the stateside price of 26c a quart.
 Restad emphasized the need to cut production costs so as to make fresh milk more competi- tive with concentrates and re- constituted milk.
 Seventy per cent of the eco- nomy in the Matanuska Valley is dependent on dairy sales, which gross $2 million annual ly, Restad said. He added that the average dairy farmer in- vestment is we'll over $100, 0,000.
 A guest at the meeting was Don Coolidge of the D. c. Ham, ilton architects firm in Anch- orage, who presented a sketch of the proposed new Matanuska Maid Creamery, to be con- structed in Spenard.

 When Captain Cook borough hearings were held in Anchor age and the Matanuska Valley, Vroman stated, Cease indicated that the Matanuska-Susitna pe- tition was under review an d hearings would be held at a later date Gin answer to a spe- cific question at the May 25 Wasilla hearing), but that Lo- cal Affair action indicates otherwise.
 After the Captain Cook hear ings, the boundaries of tn e proposed borough were en- larged to include District 2 without an investigation by the Local Affairs Agency be- ing completed and without hearings on the Matanuska-Su- sitna petition being held.
 It was suggested that t h e action of enlarging the bound aries would indicate that t h e Captain Cook petition as sub mitted does not meet the stand ards of borough government. The Anchorage area has an existing school district, public utility districts, and city gov ernment. That the Captain Cook proposed borough would not meet standards was never suggested at the hearings.
 The Matanuska-Susitna del- egation averred that at t h S point any action by the Local Affairs Agency should have ceased until a hearing was held as required by law within the area proposed for incorporation as the Matanuska-Susitna bor- ough, rather than tabling the petition without following 1t up.
 Another point brought 0 u t at the hearing was that t h e Boundary Commission set a precedent by accepting tn e suggestion of eight persons from the Matanuska Valley, contained in a letter, that the two boroughs be combined - that the way is thus paved for any group to call for the con- sideration of proposed bor- ough without following the re- quirements of the law for sub- mission of a petition.
 The delegation requested that the Local Affairs Agency withdraw its recommendation as contained in the neWspa- pers and in a wired news re- lease; that a hearing be held within the proposed Matanus- ka-Susitna borough area; a n d

Scientist AbeIson Rops
Race for Man on Moon
BY JOHN BARBOUR
Associated Press Science Writer

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. %
A leading American SCI
enlist wants the United States
to take a second look at its
space program, downgrade the
race to the moon, and accent
unnamed exploration of space.
DR.. Philip H. AbelSon, direc-
tor Of the geophysical labora-
tory at the Carnegie Institution
of Washington, also says:
THE Europeans already think
we are adolescent the
half of the world that is under
nourished could scarcely be ex-
pected to place a higher value
on landing on the moon than
on filling their stomachs,
I'VE hear repeatedly that If
vast sums were not spent on
the space effort, they could
be spent on schools, education
and other constructive efforts.
Question of Defect
'It would then appear es-
tablished that our government
is so defective that its answer
to great social problems is a
terribly expensive and soon
forgotten televiSion spectacu-
lar"
DR.. Abelson, who is also edi-
tor of the journal Science. a
publication of the American
Association for the Advance
tnent of Science, is also a mem:
ber of the general advisory
committee Of the Atomic En-
ergy Commission.
In a speech to the American
Psychological Association yes
terday, DR.. Abelson said the
United States should obtain
professional evaluation Of the
psychological aspects Of the
moon race as it affects other
nations and the United States.
He said the psychological
reasons are elusive and chang
ing, but still constitute much of
the justification for the pro-
gram.
Red Plans Not Certain
DR.. Abelson has argued be-
fore, both in editorials and in
talks, that the effort to put a
man on the moon before the

parents since she left Ann Ar

her worried parents when she
failed to return with them that
Jacqueline had talked about
going to New York and getting
a job as a waitress"
Jacqueline'S father, DR.. Rus
sell Wilson, a professor of ed
ucation at the University of
Michigan, had sought the aid
of local police and FBI officials
and authorities in Washington
and New York. He even sent a
telegram to President Kennedy,
asking his aid in finding his
daughter.

On both attempts, Mr.. Ploof,
firing twin 38-caliber pistols,
had burst only one of two bal
looms tied to the girls head.
On the third pair Of shots, one
balloon was burst and the girl
fell to the ground with the
second balloon still bobbing IN
the breeze.
Mr.. Ploof was put under
sedation and taken to his rural
El Centre home by Sheriffis
deputies.
Police said Mr.. Ploof, q
Marine Corps veteran Of World

waSteful and hurting science.
There is no assurance that
the Soviets are actually en-
barked on a moon program,
DR.. Abelson said.
In his speech, he said there
were no predictable economic
advantages to the exploration
of the moon or possible SubSe-
quent flights to Mars.
There is no doubt that the
first attempt to land a man
on the moon will stir intense
interest" he said. THE project
has great appeal to the sense
Of adventure in most people. "
But he asked: How lasting
would be this sense of
achievement"
Part Of the reason, if not
most of it, he said, is to i'm
press the rest of the world
but he offered foreign editorial
comment indicating the moon

lOhIO, SepC. NAE) E).-HeQ
China has accused the Soviet
Union Of tattling Communist
secrets to Washington in q
long-standing effort to bar Pc
king from the nuclear club.
Peking Radio said yesterday
Moscow informed the United
States some time ago that the
Soviet Union was reneging on
an agreement to help the Chi
nese start manufacturing nu-
clear weapons.
Billed as a statement by q
government spokesman, it was
one Of the angrieSt Chinese
TRADES yet in the months Of
name-calling between Peking
and Moscow. At one point,
Peking Radio even compared
Soviet propaganda to that of
Hitler'S Germany.
The broadcast said the So
Wet decision to scrap its pledge
of nuclear aid to Red China
and the purported leak to
Washington constituted "a gift
to the United States"
Enraged Leaders
When Peking announced
August is that the Russians
had broken their 1857 nuclear
aid pledge, enraged Soviet
leaders said the Chinese had
divulged confidential docu-
ments and defense information
about Communist countries,
the broadcast recalled.
Speaking directly to the
Russians, Peking declared:
please do not pretend in
nocence. You know very well
that long before we published
our last statement (on August
15) you told the Americans
the secrets between China and
the Soviet Union concerning
nuclear weapons"
With a goal Of preventing Red
China from obtaining nuclear
weapons, the Soviet leaders
have colluded with the United
States imperialists," Peking
said.
Begins in 1859
The Chinese gave no indica-
tion Of when the Soviet leaders
were supposed to have told
Washington Of their decision to
withhold technical assistance
from Chinese nuclear scientists.
The Withholding began as far
back as 1859. the broadcast
said.
However, there are indica-
tions the Russians might have
tipped United States officials
this summer.
Until January, United States
military men were saying they
expected the Chinese to det-
onate a nuclear device In the
forseeable future although
Peking probably would not have
missiles and planes to deliver
warheads for a long time.
BY summer, however, q
change had taken place in
public pronouncements by
United States officials. On
July 20. United States Under
secretary Of State w. Averell

quoted Premier Khrushchev as
saying 1t would be "a long,

long time" before Red China
developed "a nuclear capability
of any Importance"
Hits Judgment
But Red China's broadcast
said Moscow may or may not
have judged right" the broad
cast said.
THE real point is that the
Soviet leaders hold that China
should not, and must not,
manufacture nuclear weapons"
the broadcast said.
For the sake Of larger
interests, we never mentioned
this before, not even between
fraternal parties. If it were not
because the Soviet leaders
have colluded with the United
States imperialists in an ef-
fort to force China to under
take not to manufacture
nuclear weapons, we would not
have wanted to talk about
this"
The Soviet Union "per-
fidiously and unilaterally
Scrapped" the agreement to
provide Communist China with
nuclear technical data, it
added.
ASsails Treaty
Peking's broadcast also
charged that Moscow has been
unable to justify its signing of
the limited nuclear test ban
treaty with the United States
and Britain.
THE whole world knows that
the tripartite treaty Is desinged
to manacle all the socialist
(Communist) countries other
than the Soviet Union . and
that it has no restraining ef-
feet whatsoever on United
States imperialism"
Tearing up the 1857 agree
ment to share nuclear data was
nothing but a Russian gift to
the United States imperial
iSts," it said. Two other Rus
sian gifts" to the Americans
were listed:
The partial nuclear test ban
treaty which helps the United
States maintain and improve
its elead" In underground test
ing.
Withdrawal Of Soviet rockets
from Cuba last year.
The Russians SANDER Peking
by saying the Chinese want
all-out war, the broadcast said.
adding that in Cuba the Rus
slams "wilfully embarked on a
reckless course and irresponsi-
bly, played with the lives Of
millions upon millions Of peo-
pie"
