(AP) -Evangelist Billy Graham will pay full rate ($800 a day) when he uses the city-owned Coliseum for his hometown crusade here next fall. A Bessemer City, N.C. woman wrote Mayor James Smith that "1 think it is a shame to charge him such a price to preach in the Col iseum, for see what God has al ready done." Recently a windstorm took off Almost half, of the thin aluminum sheeting covering the Coliseum room. "Of course you have to charge him something," wrote the lady. "but not so much. You better think it over. The Lord may blow it away next time. Nuptials Rock Tin Pan Alley ! LONDON (AP) They really were rocking in Tin Pan Alley here last night blues singer I Stephanie Wise has hit high so : ciety. ; She married the fifth Earl of ! Listowel, 51, the governor general of Ghana, on Tuesday. The word : just got back to her old haunts. ': "Oh, boy, that's gas," cried the eats. 1 In the hal.'-lit jazz cellars of . Soho. London's Latin Quarter, they raised their glasses to "Our Stevie." "Our Stevie in society. You could have knocked me down with ! a drum stick," exclaimed impre- . sario Sam Kroger who runs the jazz at the Flamingo Club in " Wardour Street where Stevie used : to sing. ; With Krugcr was a plump young '. man in a spangled t-shirt, saxo- - phonist Pete King who plays in the Ronnie Scott band. ' Pete knows Stevie well. She " was with the band on tour three years ago. So was her first hus band, Canadian bass player Htighie Currie. Hughie is now back in Canada. "She was a great kid," said Pete. "Good looking, nice figure, tallish, sang a bit like Ella Fitz cerald. A good trouper." As Lord Listowel and his new : lady were getting a 19-gun fare well salute in faraway Ghana for their honeymoon in Britain, Joe ' and the boys struck up with . Slevic's favorite old song, Not For Me." Seward paid Russia $7,200,000 for Alaska 92 years ago, people called it "Seward's Folly." But that mon ey wouldn't have paid for the soft coal that was mined in Alaska last year. And as for tall tales, well, there are 300 bound volumes of personal experiences of the gold rush days alone. "The arctic trails hold their se cret talcs that would make your blood run cold," wrote Robert W. Service. These tales began to sprout from the day back in 1741 hen the tirst white men, they were Russians, reached Alaska. The voyage of discovery was a harrowing thing of shipwreck and scurvy. The commander, Vitus Bering, died. His men endured tep rible hardships, plundered and slaughtered the natives, and start ed the legend of adventure in Alas- Those that survived returned home with fine sea-otter skins, and the first Alaskan rush began. It was th beginning of a 126- year Russian stay in North Ameri- they found in Alaska a fur- rich wilderness of mountains, fjords, magnificent glaciers, cen turies old ice fields, and game in primeval forests. The remarkable tmng about Alaska is that it still is pioneer country in many respects. Bear. mountain sheep, caribou, and moose still roam. Transportation overland is so precarious that the airplane is the main link of scat tered small outposts. The name Alaska is a corrup- ion of a native word meaning The Great Country." But the phrase that recurs in travel fuiu- or and book is America s last frontier." The feeling of men who have come under Alaska's spell are deep and strong. Former Gov. Ernest Gruening once put H this way Here is the bright land of the summers midnight sun and ol winter's gold, blue, green and scarlet northern lights. Here is the heart of the unique totem pole cul lure. Here is the last frontier. Here alone under our flag it is possible to step back into Ameri can history and live again the elsewhere departed days of the pioneers." ICC Ponders RR Rate Cut WASHINGTON (AP) The In terstate Commerce Commission was considering Thursday a wide variety of advice on what it should do about a proposed reduction in railroad rates on lumber ship ments moving from Oregon and California mills to destinations in California and Arizona. The Southern Pacific and other railroads two months ago an nounced the proposed reductions, ranging up to $7.50 per 1,000 board feet, for the announced pur pose of recapturing some of the business they have lost to truck and water carriers. , A three-man ICC division sus pended any rate change on May 20. after Northern California com plained that the proposed adjust ments would destroy long-standing differentials with Oregon shippers and unduly favor the later. Some coastal Oregon mills using water transportation to reach California also protested. The railroads involved then asked the full 11-man ICC to va cate the suspension order and a! low the rate changes to go into effect while the commission is in vestigating the situation. The statements made public by ihe ICC Wednesday were in the form of briefs replying to the railroads newest petition. The California Forest Products Shippers' Assn. told the ICC the proposed rates "are replete with maladjustments," and should re main suspended while an orderly investigation goes forward. On the other hand, some 29 lum ber dealers operating yards in Central and Southern California asked the commission to vacate ihe suspension and allow the pro posed rates to take ettect. Khrushchev Makes Move To Halt Surprise Bombings WASHINGTON (AP) Premier Khrushchev is reported to have proposed some new steps Russia and Western countries might take to prevent surprise bombing at tack;, against each other. The Soviet leader is understood to have mentioned them in an un expected letter he sent to Presi dent Eisenhower late yesterday afternoon. The State Department, after translating the 4'j page document rushed a copy to Eisenhower last night. Some U.S. officials were report ed to regard Khrushchev's sugges tions as more promising tnan the formerly unacceptable proposals has set forth thus far for inspec tion of each other's territory. While refusing to divulge details, some officials said Khrushchev's ideas, if sincere, could eventually open the door to limited East-West co operation to gua.-d against sudden attack. The Soviet charge d'affaires. Sergei S t r i g a n o v, ballyhooed Khrushchev s new message an important new initiative by Moscow to ease dangerous Cast- West tensions He gave this description when he handed the letter to Under Sec retary of State Christian Herter Jr. but declined to provide any detail. He reported only that it covered "a new, important is- ue." A Slate Department spokesman afterward told newsmen tersely that the Khrushchev proposals dealt with measures to prevent surprise attack. Press officer Lincoln White noted this is a problem on which the United Stales has itself taken the initiative since President Ei senhower's "open skies" inspec tion proposal in 1955. Russia s earlier inspection plan called for both sides to check ar maments and military movement in a Central European area 800 kilometers on each of the West Fast German frontier. Western nations rejected this as unaccept able on the grounds it would tend to perpetuate the division of Ger many and because of other con ditions the Soviets attached to the plan Eisenhower had proposed that the Soviets agree to an arctic in spection zone as a starting point to allay Soviet tears that Ameri can atomic bombers on routine training flights might attack So viet territory. The Soviets bitterly rejected (his in a United Nations debate in May. Model Plans Trujillo Suit LOS ANGELES (AP)-A pretty actress and model asks $10,000 because, she says, Gen.

"It detracts from the dignity of any court." SALEM (AP) - The door re mains open for Oregon to pay extended unemployment compen sation benelits next winter, but the state doesn't want to do it now. The state Unemployment Com pensation Commission announced Monday that the seasonal upswing in employment makes it unneces sary now for it to borrow federal money to pay additional benefits to those jobless persons who al ready have drawn the maximum permitted by taw. But the commission said mat when and if unemployment mounts next winter, it might pay the extended benefits then. In Oregon, benefits can be paid for a maximum of 26 weeks in a year. A new federal law provides that states can borrow federal money to pay for an extra 13 weeks. There were 24,000 persons In Oregon who drew benefits for the maximum period in the fiscal year which ended Monday. The commission did vote lo pay extended benefits to 1,500 persons. They are recently discharged vet erans, and former federal work- Life Begins For Dead Man ABILENE. Tex. (AP)-. min i ister and those who use the heavens reached an agreement. The U.S. Air Force gave the Rev. Bob Jackson under certain cir cumstances the right to tell it when its planes could fly and when they couldn't. The little, rural Community Baptist Church didn't mind at irsl when Dyess Air Force Base aimed its runway at the small. long-established church building. After all, propeller-driven planes don't make too much noise. Then came the jets. The base added more and more craft. Alter a few Sundays of sitting there, more shaken by sound than sermon, the congregation s lead ers told the air base authorities their woes. The Air Force sent a couple of oflicers to listen to a sermon, they agreed it was a deafening exper ience. The Air Force agreed to tele phone the Rev. Mr. Jackson and ask permission for mass flights to take off except in emergencies. One night Ihe pastor received ers. The slate doesn't have to re pay the money for this part of the program. Gov. Robert D. Holmes pointed out that the federal law will re main on the books until April 1, 1959, so the state could borrow uo to that time. N With employment now in a seasonal upswing," the governor said, it appears that this is not the most opportune time to pro vide additional benefits. We feel it is better to keep the loan oppor tunity as money in the bank to help a greater number of people in case of a decline in employ ment during the winter months.' The declining unemployment fund, now down below 24 million dollars, was another factor in the decision against paying extended benefits. To bolster the fund, cm ployers will start paying a flat 2.7 per cent payroll tax rate this month. SEATTLE (AP)-Lifc began at 63 for Ldward L. Squire a man who has been locally dead for three years.

'Say." the maior shouted, "the tower tells me I've got to clear with you before I can take off." The Rev. Mr. Jackson Patiently explained the agreement. Well, said the major, halting ly, "is it all right if we leave?" He got permission. But the agreement didn't pan out. During a recent revival 27 jets were forced to take off in a 30-minute period in the middle of services. The pastor described the visiting evangelist as a nervous wreck. When the first huge KC135 jet tanker came over, the deacons ran up a white flag and broke ground for a new church three miles from the runway.
