J) ll Rand POT ADS - yoQ are Federal funds to start construe tion of a ballistic missile early warning station near Nenana in the interior of Alaska highjjghts the strategic importance of this vast, lar northern territory. Because of the territory's im portance in the nation's global de fense picture, Alaska's military nave never made a secret of their strategic mission, which is: To provide early warning of an air auacic. To intercept and destrov en- emy bombers seeking to flv over Aiasna on the way toward tar gets m Canada and the United States. To strike immediate counter blows using strategic air com mand planes from Alaska bases. The importance of Alaskan bas. es for use in this global strategy, as contrasted with NATO bases, is accentuated bv the fact that Alaska is American territory. Alaska has six major military installations. Elmendorf Air Force Base near Anchorage is the head quarters for the Unified Alaskan command under Lt. Gen. Frank Armstrong. The other large bas es are Ladd and Eielson near Fairbanks; Fort Richardson near Anchorage; Fort Greely Arct ic training post about 90 miles from Fairbanks and a Naval base on Kodiak Island. The development of missile weapons has heightened Alaska's role in the global defense pic ture because of Its proximity to the Eurasian land mass. Range will always be an important fact or in warfare and it is cheaper to send an aircraft or missile 500 miles than 5,000 miles. Economically, Alaska has paid for itself many times over since the United States purchased it from Czarist Russia in 1867. Min ing, fishing, and the timber and fur industries all flourish. In 1956, the territory's natural resources produced approximately $161,846,000 worth of raw materi als. No complete figures are avail able for 19d7, but economists ex pect the figure to remain about the same. The biggest economic news In Alaska during the past year, how ever, has been the possibility of developing oil fields. A total of 30 million acres already has been leased or covered by offers to lease out of a possible 84 million acres believed favorable for petroleum development. ROBBED CHICAGO (API Don Parker, 34, a deaf mute of Denton, Neb., came to Chicago with $775 to buy an auto. Parker told police in a written complaint Friday night he started drinking with five new acquaint ances. After a few drinks he re ported they took him to a South Side room and robbed him of all his money, including $300 he had in his socks. Farmers Vote, To Maintain Wheat Curbs WASHINGTON (AP) Farm ers voted Friday for the sixth straight year to keep a somewhat ineffective federal clamp on wheat production. A referendum held in 38 com mercial producing states resulted in 165,868 votes for controls on the 1959 wheat crop and 32,342 votes against curbs. This was a majority of 83.7 per cent, far more than the necessary two-thirds. Unofficial returns showed the program was approved in Oregon 1,492-218, in Washington 2,855-1,251 and in Idaho 3,434-803. The outcome was no surprise to farm officials and leaders even though the program has been un der attack on the ground it has failed to prevent the accumula tion of what may turn out this year to be the largest wheat sur plus on record. The alternative freedom to produce at much lower prices was generally looked upon as even less inviting. The program Imposes market ing quotas on individual farms and assesses penalties on excess sales. It is designed to limit sales to the production on 55 million your silver 4fc? ver made!

KF Publisher Wins Honor At Meeting CORVALLIS (AP)-Frank Jenk ins, veteran publisher of the Klamath Falls Herald and News and president of Southern Oregon Newspapers at Roseburg and Klam ath Falls, was given the 1958 Amos t,. voorhies award Friday at a publishers conference here. High praise was given Jenkins as Alton F. Baker, publisher of the Eugene Register-Guard, pre sented the award at the dinner meeting of the Oregon Newspaper rurjiisners Assn. Baker, who won the same award in 1955, referred to Jenkins as the "one-man industrial committee for Southern Oregon." He paid tribute to Jenkins' contributions in promoting techniques of news paper production. The award is named for the president of the G. ..ts Pass Courier Publishing Co. Newsmen from all parts of the state attending the 71st annual meeting of the ONPA will return home after Saturday's concluding session. . DAY CAMP The first session of the Camp Fire Gins day camp at Moore Park will be extended to Monday June 23. This will be a makeup for the session canceled by the rain on June 19. The second week session wili begin on June 24 as scheouleu. Lightly, acies, which is about 30 per cent less than the postwar peak. But increasing yields per acre, reflecting better , crop practices, have largely offset reductions in plantings. Furthermore, present law does not permit any further reduction in total acreage allotted under the program. Influencing the referendum's outcome was the fact that the 1959 crop would be supported at an average of about $1.81 a bushel if quotas were approved and at about $1.20 if they were rejected. This may well be the last refer endum on wheat quotas as they now stand. The Eisenhower ad ministration has recommended cnanges that would grant farmers more freedom to produce if they accepted somewhat lower price supports. The administration con tends markets would take much more if prices were lower. Critics disagree with the admin stration proposal but they, too, have been casting about for a more effective method of stabiliz ing supplies and prices. Congress may act before the time comes to vote on quotas on the 1960 crop. HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS.

Tidwell, 35, Wocus, KUHS librarian and a summer employe of the city recreation department, was admitted to Klamath Valley Hospital for observation Friday morning after he was burned about the face and arms in a propane gas explosion at Gem Stadium. Tidwell and two co-workers had called the city fire department some minutes before the explosion when they first smelted escaping gas. The department immediately dispatched two trucks to the stad ium and advised the South Subur ban Fire Department, which sent three more. While the trucks were on the way, the three men found the point where the gas line was broken. Tidwell was searching for the valve to shut off the gas at the tank when the gas exploded, blow ing him from one room to another of the building housing the tagk. Cause of the explosion was un known, but there was speculation that it was set off by a pilot light in the structure located at some distance from the break. One of Tidwell's fellow workers kept the resulting fire to a min imum by playing the stream of a garden hose on the building. When firemen came they shut off the tank and quickly extinguished the blaze.
