Letter to the Editor

Gentlemen,
 1 am not sure whether or not this idea has been proposed in Ko- diak before, but, why doesn't the City of Kodiak purchase an indus trial magnet to police our streets of nails, etc?
 Numerous communities in the other forty-nine states use these industrial m magnets, fashioned somewhat like a track rail. They are mounted on city equipment close enough to the road to pick up suspect materials.
 Such device would save the peo- pie of Kodiak many times the cost of said device, as far as tire re- pairs are concerned.
 Sincerely,
 Dave SwenSon

King Grabs To Star On Steve Allen Hollywood Nationwide Te|evision Show

The Famous Kodiak King Grab will be featured on the Steve Al len Television Show from Holly wood on May 2, the eve ofthe open ing of Kodiak's King Crab Festi val.
 Six live King Crab were shipped South Wednesday to the Steve Al len Playhouse, so they may ca wort, if Crabs do this, in front of nationwide audience. The show was to be recorded this Friday for release in May.
 Also sent along were 12 frozen crab to add to the display for the Show.
 Arrangements for the program were made by the King Crab Fes- tival Committee with the help of Martins King Crab, King Crab, Inc; Naughton's Bakery, Alaska Ice and Storage, and Wakefield Fisheries of Seldovia.
 The live and frozen crab were scheduled to arrive in Los Angeles for transfer to the Hollywood stu dios Thursday morning.
 A major hitch in plans devel- oped Wednesday morning on ar engagements to send live crab to Hollywood.
 The Festival Committee had se- cured containers for the shipment, and Alaska Ice and Storage froze chunks of salt water ice, to keep the crab cool on the trip.
 As departure time drew near everything was in readiness-ex- cept no live crab anywhere in the Kodiak area High winds and icing conditions prevented the catching of any local stars for the show.
 To the rescue came Mel Vega of Alaska Packers who suggested con- tacting Port Wakefield Fisheries

at Seldovia. A phone call there to Chuck Hendricks found just that number of crab on hand, as the boats there were tied up because of wind.
 The crab were prepared for ship ment by Hendricks, who several years back did similar packing job to send two crab back to Co .- nell University in Ithaca, New York for medical research.
 The about to become famous crab were flown to Homer and placed aboard PNA's afternon flight to Anchorage.
 Meanwhile Ray Martin of PIMA, Festival Committee chairman, was completing shipping details from here for both the frozen crab from Kodiak, and the live. ones at Homer.

The efficiency Of newly
designed truck trailers has
been increased through a CO.

The years have brought
great improvements In insu-
lation for truck trailers. For
many years. the glass-fibre
type Of insulation was used.
But 1t was not proof against
moisture which condensed
out and accumulated into
hard frost that could add
1000 extra pounds or more of
dead weight to o trailer.

In the last two or three
years, q "foamed-in-place"
type Of insulation has been
developed which does not
admit moisture.
Also, much study Is being
given to the method of air
circulation in the trailer. A
cold-wall trailer with chilled
air circulating through the
insulation cavity by ducts
permits products to be loaded

the floor.

Khrushchev
Replies to
A-Bun Plea

LONDON, May 13 (AP).-
Soviet Premier Khrushchev has
replied to the JOINT approach
by President Kennedy and
Prime Minister Macmillan urg-
ing a new attempt to con-
clude q treaty banning uuclear
weapons tests.
The British Foreign Office,
reporting this today. declined
to say whether Mr.. Khru-
shchev's reply holds out hope
for fresh high-level negot.a-
tions.
The letters from Mr.. Kennedy
and Mr.. Macmillan were de-
| livered to Mr.. KhruShchev In
Moscow April "a. Their general
sense was to suggest that an
other high-level attempt be
made quickly to settle outstard-
ing issues blocking q test ban
agreement. The Western pro-
posals never were revealed in
detail.
Mr.. Khrushchev's reply was
understood to have reached
Washington and London Jate
last week. A Foreign Office
spokesman told newsmen the
Soviet premier's reply is under
study. He declined to give any
details about it,
Mr.. Macmillan evidently
ordered a blackout of all in
formation and comment re-

Says Farm Program Helps
Large Operator Mostly

Editor, Peoples Voice:
While there is considerable concern
by some over the fate of the wheat
referendum it must be admitted by the
objective observer that the present
farm program has become deservedly
unpopular among farmers and consum-
ers alike.
The modern farm program of help to
the farmer began under FDR as an aid
to keeping the farmer on the farm, but
in recent years it has undergone quite
a change in government philosophy and
has been twisted to actually drive the
farmer off his farm and force him into
crowded cities to fight for scarce jobs
and add to the already numerous prob
lens of these cities. Consequently the
program has lost the support of the
people involved and should be abolish ed
so to clear the books for a try at
program that will go back to the orig
inal goal of keeping the family farmer
in business
Statistics alone condemn the present
farm program. Consider that about
1917 of the farmers get a full one half
of all government farm payments. This
fact alone makes the program sound
like a Republican dream coming true,
i.e., all for the well-to-do, little or
nothing for the common man. The dis
appearance of farm families leads to
imp of rural communities
and decline in county populations as
has been so markedly evident in Mon
tana. The bigger the remaining farm
ers get, the less they patronize home
business The inevitable result is obliv-
ion. for the small businessman along
with the family farmer. Why should
this trend be supported by its pros
pective victims?
AS means to enrich the wel1-to- do
and to impoverish the little fellow the
present farm program is a great sue
cess, but as plan to preserve democ-
racy for the little guy 1t iss an utter
failure. Hence, why should 1T be, per- |
petuated2 A mo" vote is the only
effective moye tn csc farmers can make |
on their behalf 1t is impossibielto reach
the agricultural bureaucrats or influ- |
ence them in any other way Sincerely |

Here is an article from Prevention
on birth rate that may be of interest.
DECLINE IN BIRTH RATE
THE birth rate has been declining
for the last years, and according to
the Population Reference Bureau, at
Washington, d. C., it looks as if 1t
might continue to do so for a while.
THE Bureau does not seem to be
worried by the implications of low
fertility. In the February issue in this
department 1 drew attention to the
facts about the almost complete dis
appearance of the American eagles
ability to reproduce itself, getting my
Information from Rachel Carson's book
Silent Spring.
Observers can scarcely find any baby
eagles these days. The American eagle
is close to the extinction point. Miss
Carson fndicts the saturation of herb
age and vegetation by poisonous in
sectieides. But human beings are eating
food saturated with these same poisons.
Now we see the declining human birth
rate. Is the process of human extinction
through sterility already in effect?

| buyer and seller the same economic
condition existed being only another
/ change in names. So we come to a
| third change.
The former slave-tenant- ser
| seeing his economic condition had not
| improved (and having his socalled
| freedom) let the mortgage he had given
| for the purchase price be foreclosed
and decided to utilize his freedom.
However not having any money from
his labors he decided to seek employ
| ment, which he found exceedingly diff
ficult and being on the verge of pow
erty and hunger after months of Job
seeking he gravitated back to the for
mer territory. Meeting his former
master the master made him another
offer. Knowing him to be an indus
trious worker the former master de-
cided to hire him and offered a wage
at which his work would produce for
the former master the $1,000 per year
PROFIT which the slaves labor on
the land had previously yielded. And
so we see that here again occurred only
another change in names. 1t was now
employer and employee but the same
old $1,000 per year economic condition
continued under the name PROFIT.
So we see that so far as economic
conditions are concerned the same old
slavery still exists. Only the name has
been changed.
While the examples have cited are
not based on exact figures, such as
the 81 SOC annual actual profit, the re-
suit is the same.
To counterfeit these effects the for
mer slaves purchasers en-
ployees) finally began to use a little
intelligence and organized themselves
into groups called unions for the pur-
pose of bettering their economic and
financial conditions.
Their purpose in this was to better
their conditions by collective action
and abolish what they now termed
wage slavery

for their employers insisting on the
same old profit" also were organized
and were able to considerable extent |
to fix the prices at which their prod |

able to increase selling prices so, that |

many cases was Increased. "S ~

This devious use of peoples frus-
