Four Army Men
 Will Trek 400 Miles Across Wilderness

ANCHORAGE R - Four Ft. Richardson men are starting on a ski trek of some 400 miles across an Alaska region never before travelled by soldiers.
 The four were flown to Koyukuk on the Yukon River Wednesday morning, scheduled to head west on skis Thursday. They are on long-range patrol which will take them to Wales, 366 map-miles away on the westermost tip of the Sew ard Peninsula.
 Members of the patrol are 1st It. Wm. Smith Jr. of Co. F, 4th Battle Group, 23rd Infantry; Sgt. 1/C Kenneth Maederer, 56th En- gineer Co.,; Sp./4 John Niskoch, Hdqs. & Hdqs. Co.,, 4th Battle Group, 23rd Infantry; and Sp./4 John Claborn, 514th Medical Go.
 The patrol will carry the men across a vast wilderness area which has never been before covered by soldiers. It is the latest in series of US. Army long-range patrols which have been carried out over the past dozen years.
 The men will make the trip on the Army's new short skis, being used experimentally in Alaska.
 Other experimental items the patrol will test include sort ot over-snow wheelbarrow developed by the Trailmate Co. of Anchor age. They will use the machine to haul their gear for about one third of the trip.
 To take full advantage of day light, the patrol plans to take nc long noon break. Instead they will eat as they move. The four men have been supplied with food in tubes which was originally devel- oped for astronauts flying through space. They will supplement the space-age trail ration with penn mican.
 It. Col. N. w. Pooley, chief of the Intelligence Division of the USARAL Office, said the patrol plans to make the trip in 29 days.
 He said although the patrol dis tance scales 366 miles on the map, the men will probably ski about 400 to 450 miles to cover the dis tance.

Alaska Airlines Makes Sweeping Change in Aircraft

New and greater comfort and convenience for Alaska's travelling public was announced today by Alaska Airlines. "A sweeping change in the type of aircraft to be operated on all of Alaska Air lines scheduled routes within Alas ka beginning next week will mean that all flights will operate with faster and more comfortable pres surized airplanes," stated Robert Giersdorf, assistant vice president and general sales manager, in re- leasing the airlines spring schedule. | Beginning Wednesday, March 27, scheduled flights between Nome and Anchorage will be operated with faster and more comfortable fully pressurized aircraft. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday
 flights between Nome and Anchor
 age with stops at Unalakleet and
 McGrath will be operated with
 Convair 340 aircraft The Convair
 340 carries A passengers in a spa
 cious first class seating configura-
 tion |. ;. with wide fully reclining seats, generous leg room and indi- vidual foot rests, wide aisle and , wide view windows. ''The Convair
 $40 is a better suited aircraft for
 Alaska operations than other Iplanes of comparable size," Giers-
 dorf said.
 T The other two days each week Super Constellation aircrat d, operating in a combination pas y senger-cargo configuration will b
 used between Kotzebue, Nome an1 'e Anchorage.
 d "This pattern of service will give e the passengers the full comfort o1
 faster pressurized airplanes and
 will also provide for the heavy
 cargo requirement on the Nome
 and Kotzebue route," Giersdorf
 stated.
 Further increases in the ire quency of the flights will be made later for the summer months when schedules will be operated daily in order to fully accommo-
 date the residents of the commit mites served and to provide the
 best possible schedules for the rapidly expanding tourist program , of Alaska Airlines. For the sum- : mer schedules in addition to the 5 Convair $40, a Convair 44O is being
 readied for service. When the Con, |, vair 440 begins service earlier de. . parture times from Anchorage : will be possible each day and the
 Super Constellation aircraft will l be used for freight flights. The 3 Convair 440 has a large forward l cargo door and will be able to t operate in an-passenger Or com t bination passenger-cargo configu-
 rations.
 In addition to the improved I service between Nome and An chorage beginning w dn day,
 March 27, scheduled morning
 flights will be resumed between Fairbanks and Anchorage. The 2 Fairbanks Anchorage m ornin g 2 service will operate daily except
 Saturday and Sunday. These morn l ing flights are in addition to the l daily evening flights operated with the airlines' Golden Nugget jet.

There's something battling,
to say the least. In various
conversations one hears now
adayS in political circles con-
corning Senator Barry Gold
water and other possible
candidates for the Republ-
lean presidential nomination.
It's the oft-repeated ques-
ton: Can he win?"
The query somehow re-
fleets q perhaps unintention-
al appraisal Of the actual
strength Of President Ken
needy among the voters. Even
the way the question Is asked
indicates, as q rule, Q feel
ing that the White House
incumbent will be q hard man
to beat. In fact, there are
some Republican observers
who privately express doubts
whether Mr.. Kennedy can
really be defeated. 49,.
A few months ago this was
q rather prevailing view. But
in recent weeks, the tide has
seemed to turn, and there
are many who now are con-
WINGED that Mr.. Kennedy
can be beaten for reelection.
AS for the nomination, q
poll Just published by United
States News and World Re
port" shows that II per cent
Of the chairmen Of Republic
can State Committees who
replied to It's survey favor
Senator Goldwater and that
56 per cent Of the Republican
National Committeeman who
replied also favor him. Among
the Republican Senators and
Representatives, S. per cent
of the replies were for Mr..
Goldwater.
Over the week end, former
President Eisenhower was
quoted as having said that
Senator Goldwater's views
were ''unclear" to him, and
this was interpreted by some
observers not as q state
ment of tactful neutrality
but as q symptom Of disap-
proval. Such comments give
rise to further discussions as
to whether the Eisenhower
support Is essential for the
victory of o candidate. 1ke's
support of Richard Nixon
didn't prevent q Kennedy
victory. In 1860, nor would

dent Eisenhower today insure

Senate Finance Committee Possoqe
Seen Certain, With Timing in Doubt
CHARLES BARTLETT

Initial readings on the
disposition Of the Senate
Finance Committee indicate
that the Nation will almost
certainly obtain its tax cut
but great doubts remain on
the question Of when.
All except two of the IL
Democrats on the commit
tee are expected to favor the
tax-cutting measure. Since
nine votes constitute a ma
iority, the decisions Of the
six Republicans will not be
crucial to the outcome. I'm
portant divergences exist,
however, on the issue Of tim
ing.
The administration Is fer
vently against the Republic
can proposal to set the civil
rights bill aside to make
way for the tax bill. Swift
enactment of this sensitive
measuSe is believed essential
to the Presidents objective of
cooling the aroused passions
on, both sides Of the racial
issue and there is no instinct
to let the matter drag into
1854.
Some argue that the tim
ing of the tax bills enact
ment is not important, since
January /. 1854, will be the
effective date Of the reduc-
lions whether they are
passed this November or
next March.
Against this view, the
Treasury maintains that the
stimulative value Of the tax
cut may depend heavily up
on when 1t Is enacted. Its
potential for generating eco
nomic momentum is clearly
greater If its passage comes
while the economy Is stable.
If it comes after the start
of the downturn that is pos
sible next winter, its impact
may be largely defensive.
The tactical hope Of pass
ing both major bills before
the end of the year lies in
the chance that the Senate
will enact the tax law before
1t locks itself in a filibuster

COP, os Yet, Viewed as NegIecting
To Hammer at Reasons for Change

either at the Republican Ma
tional Convention or at the
polls In November 1854.
There seems to be too
much emphasis nowadays
on personalities and labels
and not enough on issues.
Yet basic issues count for
ore than personalities.
This writer, for example,
never accepted the thesis
that General Eisenhower's
personal popularity won him
either the nomination or
the election. He won the
nomination In 1852 because
a majority Of the conven-
ton delegates believed the
oft-repeated statement that
Taft couldn't win" The
Generals position on major
issues was relatively ur-
known at the time to most
Of the delegates. The cleo
ton itself that year was
won because the country
disapproved Of the Truman
administration on the three
issues Of Korea, commu-
nism and corruption" and
the Republican Party united
behind Mr.. Eisenhower.
In 1855. however. q situa-
ton existed that is some
what parallel to what may
happen in 1854. The Demo-
Gratis seven years ago had
not made an impressive
case against the Eisenhower
administration, and the
country, moreover, was in a
state Of relative content
ment on the economic side.
This always produces Q mo

Today. the Republican
speakers have not yet made
a convincing case against
the Kennedy administra-
ton. They have spent so
much Of their time arguing
about Conservatives" and
Liberals" Radical Right"
and Radical Left" that
they have not gotten across
to the country Just why
there should be q change Of
administration in Washing
ton.
Senator Goldwater has
probably said more against
the Kennedy administration
than any Of the other men
mentioned for the Republi-
can nomination. But he has
been promptly assailed not
so much by Democrats as by

on civil rights. But the pur-
suit Of speedy action on the
tax measure is obstructed BY
the presence on the Finance
Committee Of four Southern
Democrats. who want to de-
lay the tax bill to strengthen
their leverage in civil rights,
and six Republicans, all dis
inclined to assist the admin
istrstion towards its objec-
tives.
The delicacy involved in
prodding the Finance Com
mittee was demonstrated last
week when Chairman Harry
Byrd reacted Indignantly to
a letter from two Democratic
committee members, Paul
Douglas Of Illinois and Gin
ton Anderson of New Mex
leo. who urged that the COM
mittee proceed expeditiously
to consider the tax legisla-
ton.
Byrd observed in this letter
several arguments that had
been put to him directly by
Treasury officials and en-
braced an assumption that
the letter was an effort in
spired by the administration
to stir a revolt against his
leadership. This was heinous
interference in a chairman's
prerogatives and a Just cause
for wrath.
Although Byrd Is one of
the two Democrats on the
committee who fatty oppose
the bill (Albert Gore Of Ten
nessee is the other), his hold
on the committees proce-
dures is strengthened by the
fact that he has rarely, I'M
like other Southern chair
men, used his powers to
