Area Pioneer Now Recovering From Injuries

MOOSE PASS = Mrs. Leora Roycroft was able to leave Sew 5 ard General Hospital recently and was taken to the home of MT. and Mrs. Robert Estes in Seward. Mrs. Roycroft fell at the home of Mir. and Mrs. E.. R. Estes on Thursday, May 9 and sustain ed a deep cut near the elbow of her left arm, injured her knee and suffered shock.
 Mrs. Roycroft, who will be 79 years old in June 21, came with her family to Moose Pass in 1921 where her husband Frank had taken the job as section foreman for the Alaska Railway. At that time there were only two resi- dents of Moose Pass - William f'alrman and Oscar Christensen. The section crew in the summer consisted of four to five men but the winter crew was just the fore man and two men.
 Leora was the only woman in this area until 1925 when another family moved to Moose Pass. Her sons, William, Sam, Joe. Ed and Bob Estes all grew up in Moose Pass but of the five boys only two are still here-Ed Estes and family of Moose Pass and Bob Estes and family of Seward. Mir. and Mrs. William Estes transfer red from 29 Palms, Calf. last November and are in Anchorage.

 Dear Editor:
 The true facts of the Marathon Bowling. I, Tony Bordinelli, claim that Bill kummert did not break my World Marathon Bowling. I bowled 1,008 games within 79&4 hours with a 15-minute break ev- cry hour if I wanted to take 1t, but could not build time up. If you didn't take the 15 minutes when you had it, you lost it. But when you took your 15 minutes, you had to get up and bowl.
 Although Bill did make re- cord of bowling more games in less time than anyone else has done, why I say that he did not break my record is that at six o'clock Saturday night he quit. Tommy Thompson, who is manag- CT of the kenai Bowl, told me he

BERLIN-The wall Is
about Is miles long. It coils
through the city like a SER
pent. leaving q poisonous
slime on either side.
As you approach the wall
from the West the business
buildings and the stores fade
out and the apartments grow
more dilapidated and in
worse disrepair. No one on
the West seems to want to
live near the wall, for in the
event Of q sudden attack
there would be no warning
and little defense.
Before there was a wall
people on the East we're hap
by to live right up to the line.
But after the August Is,
1861, when the Communists
sealed the border and started
reinforcing the temporary
barbed wire with brick, these
dwellings, line became
q danger and an embarrass-
ment.
People kept jumping out Of
the windows into free dom.
Escape tunnels were e asily
dug. So after 40 days the
East German government
ordered all its citizens living
within 800 yards of the wall
to get out Of their homes.
Where the wall went. there
fore, human life retreated.
As a human barrier the
wall is impressive, not as i'm
pressive, Of course, as a peni-
tertiary wall. but undoubted-
ly the worlds finest stockade
for non-criminals. On the
East side looking west you
stand behind the new 6-foot
fence. Beyond the fence there
is an endless hurdle of con-
crete blocks 4 feet high and
3 feet thick. This will effec-
lively stop a bulldozer. Be-
yond that there is 100 meters
of open space affording a
clear field Of fire from the
blockhouses. Beyond that is
the wall, itself. 6 feet high
topped with 3 feet Of barbed
wire.
The 2 pm. sightseeing bus
for East Berlin thread DIS
through the concrete slabs
that guard the Soviet side Of
Checkpoint Charlie. 1t Is a
double barrier and the OPEN
ings are not in line. The

The best is saved for the
last-the glittering Stalinal-

lee any more. Eucifer has
fallen. It is the Karl Marx

facades the Reds poured
much Of the money which
they have saved by under
paying and overcharging

to be the big front, the store
window, the dazzling show
piece Of the New wave Of
the future" Like the odd
wave of the future" memo
rallied chiefly by Goering's
Air Ministry. it needs depth.
At last we approach Check
point Charlie once more.
The young man flashes a
disarming smile. Some peo-
pie, he says, have asked
about the wall. He will be
glad to show us the wall. It
was made necessary by the
infiltration of fascist spies
and Saboteurs. The demo-
cratic Socialist peoples re-
publics must protect their
people. He will show us the
exact spot where a 20-year-
old peoples policeman was
shot by a Fascist bandit who
was apprehended trying to
sneak into East Berlin.
I was on the point of ask
ing about the Fascist bandits
disguised as men, women and
children who have been shot
trying to get across the wall
in the other direction. But
a youth with a burp gun was
surveying us from a block
house. 1t didn't seem the
best place to start an argu-
ment.
Checkpoint Charlie. The
young man bids us good day.
The passports again. The
examination Of the bus. The
lifting Of the gates and the
threading of the barriers.
Suddenly everybody on the
bus-the Americans, the In
donesian students, the Japa-
nese family-starts chat
tering.
Nikita Khrushchev has de-
scribed West Berlin as a bone
in the throat. It's a good
description Of a deadly en-
barrassment. You cannot
stand to have your people in
contact with this embarrass-
ment, so you build q wall.
But then you have to explain
the wall.
I was sorry for the poor
young man.

sion that there has been a
change for the better in the
diplomatic relations between
the two governments.
When the nuclear test-ban
treaty was signed, the air was
filled with optimistic hopes
and forecasts of a new era
in Soviet-American relations.
Why would the Moscow gov
eminent choose the very day
Of the formal signing Of the
test-ban treaty In the Krem-
lin to generate a crisis atmos-
phere in Berlin? The answer
probably is that the Soviets
were caught in their own
governmental red tape. They
are always reluctant to adj
NIT 1t when they make a mis-
take. So the new Berlin crisis
is being allowed to peter out
naturally, without any Off
cial explanation of how the
bungle occurred. Now pre-
sumably there will be a re-
newal Of the "euphoria" in
which the signing Of the test
ban treaty was hailed as the
big first step" In a series Of
anticipated moves toward a
truce of certainly more than
a few days or a few months
duration.

Kennedy Moves in Cold War Give
Opposition Basis for Party Unity

Friction between Presiden
Kennedy and the congression-
al Republicans over foreign
policy Is becoming the most
serious fact Of political life in
the waning year 1868.
Almost certainly a widen
ing and progressively more
embittered partisan dispute
over the proper conduct Of
the cold war will persist into
the presidential election year
Of 1864. The strong probable
ity is rising that in this field
Of issues the contest between
Mr.. Kennedy and whomever
the Republicans may nomi-
nate will make the Kennedy
Nixon dialogue Of 1860 look
tame indeed in retrospect.
Basically, the argument is
settling down into two in
creasingly divergent party
positions. Mr.. Kennedy Is
making a continuing effort
to reach separate accommo-
dations with the Soviet
Union on secondary mat
ters-the nuclear test ban,
the deal for wheat for the
Russians-in the hope that
these may foreshadow Soviet
willingness to give some
ground on such really capital
issues as Berlin, Cuba and
the like.
The Republicans, on their
side, are developing a steadi-
ly hardening position against
such peripheral settlements
with the Russians unless and
until they have shown some
genuine desire to make con-
cessions on those really capt.
tai issues.
As the Presidents ap-
proaches are becoming in

New Berlin Convoy Episode Viewed
As Result of Clumsy Committees

When the Soviet troops
blocked United States ar
mored units on the way to
West Berlin q few days ago
and suddenly increased ten
sion, there were two schools
of thought here. One was
that the step was DELHI
erately undertaken in Mos
COW to warm UP the cold
war"-an alleged act Of du-
plicity. The other view,
which this writer shared, was
that the episode arose be-
cause in the top-heavy bu-
reaucracy in Moscow the left
hand doesn't know what the
right hand is doing. The
whole thing was apparently
the result Of the cumbersome
and clumsy methods of han
ding the relations between
the army and the policy
making committees in the
Kremlin.
For 1t was hardly plausible
that. while Foreign Minister
Gromyko was in Washington
comforting with President
Kennedy about improving re-
lations between the two gov
ernmentS, anybody high up
in the Soviet Government
would choose this very time
to bring about q new crisis
over the routine passage of
United States armored cars
and troops to Berlin.
1t will be recalled that Mr..
Gromyko was caught in a
somewhat similar dilemma
when he was at the White
House last October during
the very week that the crisis
over Soviet missile bases in
Cuba was shaping up. He
undertook then to deny fatty
what later became public
about the missiles. Since that
episode, there have been in
timations that Mr.. Gromyko
just didn't know the facts at
the time and that the Soviet
practice in such matters is
not to tell anyone about a
secret move unless he is di-
rectly involved as a party to
the operation.
The Soviet government is
in most respects a one-man
government, but the Krem-
lin has committees which
endeavor to function upon
the basis Of detailed party
line plans or outlines Of pol
10y. Often instructions issued
to the army, for instance,
are not revised or changed
in time to meet new diplo-
matte developments.
Some Of the cratic courses
of action which emerge are
never explained to the out
side world. Thus. for ex-
ample, the Soviet govern
ment functions under an
internal censorship. The CEN
sors, on occasion, take time
out to find out whether they
should suppress or allow

publication Of certain news,
Just recently, when 1t was
flashed around the world
that the United States might
be willing to sell wheat to
the Communist bloc coun-
tries, the Soviet newspapers
on the following day printed
nothing about 1t. A few days
later, all Of them we're prais-
ing the idea.
Likewise, when President
Kennedy suggested that
maybe a Joint expedition to
the moon might be worked
out, the Soviet press omitted
references to that part of the
Presidents speech to the
United Nations. The censors
had to find out from higher
up what to do, and a few
days later they allowed it to
be printed. Even the news of
the latest Berlin blockade
was kept out Of the Soviet
newspapers for two days, and
finally "IzveStia" spoke
vaguely Of 1t as much ado
about nothing"
InaSmuch as the Soviet
administration system is so
interviewer in specific direc-
tives that cannot be modi-
fled except from on high, and
since it takes so much time
to get policy revisions, the
tendency is to go ahead on
the basis Of existing instruc-
tons rather than to take a
chance Of mourning diSfavor
from someone higher up by
deviating from the directive.
All this Is an obviously I'M
satisfactory system Of opera
ton, and 1t raises a question
about the extent Of the use
Of the "hot line" for direct
communication between the
President Of the United States
and the head of the Soviet
government. Premier Khru-
shcnev has been away from
Moscow touring the interior
OF his vast domain and has
not been In the news since
September 90. Doubtless his
underlings have known where
he has been but hesitated to
bother him on his trip until
the American protest was
filed.
The sudden shifts and ma
neuvers on the part Of the
Soviet commanding officers
in East Berlin have also
caused a lot Of anxiety in the
past. A United States armored
unit was blocked for several
hours last May for technical
reasons, and the same tbino
happened in 1859. Unfortu-
nately for the Kremlin, when
a directive written MANY
months before in strictly
military terms is literally ap-
piled at the wrong time, it
tends to negate the impress

the President has been undu-

sale Of wheat TO relieve So
Wet shortages-the Republi-
cans are becoming increas-
ingly tough In their opposi-
ton.
For example, the country
now hears a louder and more
determined Republican out
cry against the wheat deal
than against the earlier test
ban pact. This is in spite Of
the fact that the nuclear ac-
commodation poses infinitely
the greater danger of Soviet
trickery and Notwithstanding
the fact that the party max
ing complaint a gainst the
wheat sale has far closer ties
with the presumed economic
beneficiary Of that sale, the
farm belt, than do the DEM
ocrats.
Though there has been
scattered G. o. P. rank-and-
file attack upon this or that
Kennedy foreign policy from
the b eginning, the party
leaders in Congress have on

essentially bipartisan posture
until recently.

leader Everett DirkSen of Il

for his whole conduct of af-
