Texas will have to move over.
It's only half as big as alaska.
The 590.000 square miles of spec
tacular scenery that make up Alas
ka represent territory one-fifth the

Americans didn't always regard
Alaska as highly as they dn now.
When Secretary of State William
Graham Will
Pay Full Rent
CHARLOTTE. N.C. (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.

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-

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.

a flight of 15 planes from another
base.
'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
