I hn nnnn thf President nn on Mr Eisenhowers side Oil Exploration A very important fact was made public in Fairbanks yesterday. Oil exploration in the Yukon-Koyu- kok region has gotten underway. This is a new development in Interior Alaska one that might well bring a new era to this country.

The discovery of oil and gas south of the Brooks Range might well trigger amazing growth and prosperity here. Geologists who have examined potential oil lands in the Interior are enthusiastic about the possibilities. There are many "promising structures" in the vast area of which Fairbanks is the center. Production of petroleum is a distinct possibility and such a development would tremendously increase business and trade here, while at the same time cutting our cost of living. It must be kept in mind that the Navy found considerable reserves of oil and gas north of the Brooks Range in their exploration which was carried out shortly after the end of World War II.

Geologists believe that the Brooks Range "uplifted" after these oil and gas deposits were established. In other words, the mountain range split the valuable deposits, and the reserves that have been discovered in far north Alaska also exist south of the range. The current drilling program is designed to determine whether or not there are oil deposits in the Yukon-Koyukuk region. If substantial oil discoveries are made, then Fairbanks can expect to receive a tremendous impetus for growth and expansion it would be an event that What is evident, from his vigorous, don't-hack-the-budget, don't-toy-with-the-peace speech before the Iron and Steel Institute In New York, is that Mr. does not intend to play it Safe, does not intend to play it cozy, is prepared to see his political star rise or fall fighting for President Eisenhower's "Modern Republicanism" all the way.

In view of the fact that Mr. Nixon's future is still ahead of him--a future which holds the prospect of the Republican Presidential nomination in 1960--there are very large consequences which can flow from the kind of all-modern Republican speech he has just delivered. It is not too much to say that this speech and the other recent who are opposing the President are wrong--and will be so proved as lime goes on. Mr. Nixon's commitment to the Eisenhower budget and the Eisenhower program does not rest merely upon his latest and strongest speech.

This speech is merely the climax of earlier actions. Furthermore, he has not been picking the easy places to speak. He didn't confine himself to polite greetings when he appeared before the U.S. Chamber of Commerce which had been lambasting the President's budget for weeks. He has been speaking where It would do the most good and recently has been meeting privately with business leaders to do "Missionary work" which wins some agreement but often leaves his friends shaking their heads and asking: "What's happened to Dick?" The Vice President ts perfectl aware that he is walking headlcn into the very strategy which his principal rival.

Sen. William Knowland of California, think most likely will bring him, Mr Xnowland, the 1060 nomination This is the way it shapes up: Sen. Knowland is widening th policy gap between himself an President Eisenhower. His sup porters will commend him to th next Republican national conven tion because of his difference with Mr. Eisenhower Vice President Nixon is dosin the gap--if any gap ever existei --between himself and Presiden Eisenhower.

He is committing himself to the proposition tha the next Republican national con ventlon will a nominal, him only if it Wants to continue the liberal leadership of Mr. Els enhower. My impression is that Mr. Nixon is perfectly willing, indeed, welcomes, having this comparison and having the choice of the I960 nominee hinge upon this alternative: more of the Eisenhower brand of Republicanism versus a shift In the opposite direction. Temporarily political winds are blowing the other way.

But Mr. Nixon Is aware that not since the depression-not once in six Presidential elections--has the Republican party turned to its right wing for its nominee. Drew Pearson's WASHINGTON Shortly before Republican senators excori ated Democratic' Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon on the Senate floor. Morse got a call from the chief attacker, Sen.

Styles Bridges of New Hampshire. Morse had charged in a Detroi speech that Eisenhower ivas "the same kind of immoralist' as Beck because his administration hac granted rapid tax write-off certificates to the Idaho Power Company on its three Hells Canyon dams. The sizzling. White House was "Wayne," said kindly, conservative Senator Bridges just before the Senate convened, "we've been good personal friends, so I wanted to notify you that the White House has been putting a lot of pressure on me. I'm going to have to make a speech on the floor this afternoon in regard to Ifs Defense, Not Aid President Eisenhower's public defense of his foreign-aid program would be easier if the word "aid" were dropped.

It is not aid. It is defense, as much a part of the defense program as that whose expenditures are domestic. The need for such an extension of U. S. defense operations is new, because the world role of the United States is new.

A generation ago we could be withdrawn, could, with relative safety, pursue a policy of neutrality in world affairs. Those good old days, for better or worse, are gone. Either the United States aggressively pursues the leadership thrust upon it, or Soviet Russia assumes sole leadership. The consequences of such a surrender are obvious. When Britannia ruled the waves, a considerable part of the British budget was devoted to global administrative, diplomatic, military and development responsibilities.

Britain did not call it foreign aid. America can no more escape such responsibilities in 1957 than could Victoria in 1857. They are here to stay until Russia settles for peace, or until Russia or America gives up. Moscow does not appear to be inclined to quit the struggle. It is unthinkable that America should do so.

The front line of American defense should remain abroad.

"I'll do the best I can," replied Morse, and was on deck when the Senate opened, ready for the attack. Washington Traffic Sen. Thruston Morton (R-Ky.) got stalled in a Washington traffic jam the other day en route to his office.

Cars closed in from all "sides. In desperation, he flagged a police cruiser and identified himself. "I'm not asking for any special favor to get ahead of all this crowd," he said, "but I do have to get to work. Would you please help me get out of here?" "Senator," i a drawled. "I'm struck, too.

If you can figure a way out, I'll follow you." Thereupon, Morton led the po- way in any reasonable disarmament plan. Actually, Ambassador Bohlen, recently returned from Moscow, reports that the climate for an arms agreement is better than at any time recently. This is partly because the Kremlin appears to realize the tragedy of war, partly also because the Kremlin is having serious industrial problems. Simultaneously, Eisenhower -partly perhaps because he is a military man--cherishes as his greatest ambition the goal of peace. He has confided to friends that he would rather consummate a peace plan with Russia than any other thing during his term as President.

Note--Ike should have known that he was borrowing trouble when he first appointed Radford chairman of the joint chiefs. Truman once exiled Radford to the mid-Pacific for stirring up a bitter battle against the Air Force over the long-range bombing effectiveness of the B-52 as agains the effectiveness of the big air 3lane carrier. Radford steppee way out of'line in organizing an attack against the Air Force causing mild-mannered Gen Omar Bradley to brand him ant colleagues publicly as "Fancy Dan admirals." "Vlerry-Go-Round, John English, the man who replaces Beck on the AFL-CIO executive committee, is no stooge 'or Beck. He has hated Beck for 'ears. Dignified Gordon Gray ex-president, of the University of North Carolina, is being gibed by 'riends as "the Dave Beck of the administration." He pleaded the "executive fifth mendment" eight times in refus- ng to testify why he gave the daho.

Power Company a $65 mil- ion quickie tax write-off on Hells Derby Rules Up For New Change KETCHIKAN, May 28, CD--The rules of the Ketchikan King Salmon Derby may be changed because of an unlucky break. Pete Figueroa was the fisherman involved. lost the top weekly derby prize even though he landed a 60-pound S-ounce king. But he did it with a broken fishing rod. And the derby rules disqualify a contestant whose 1 pole breaks.

So last week's $55 first prize went instead to Luke Tonkovich, who landed a 55-pound 3-ounce king on a rod that remained in one piece. A Chamber of Commerce member proposed the rule change, contending it a lot more difficult to land a prize-winning king with a broken rod than it was with one that stays together. John Crosby's Television Radio Wynn Rediscovered Again ma tiff 00 fashi dra-jvu-y be sl they're- just pathetic. At' momenMn hit Ur they're friends. The last; doTM addict Ue lcoholics Ul 'ng in the world that occurs to addict a I play about an alcoholic comedian who takes up dope on the side And, of course, Mickey Rooney will have to play it.

Just as alcoholism and dope are the fashionable topics--what ever happened to homosexuality? That used to be good for a lot of laughs--so are Mickey Rooney and Ed Wynn the hot perform-' ers of the moment. Just the other' night, it was Ed Wynr. again on Alcoa hour playing the part if an old movie comedian who had outlived his popularity. Discovered by an ex-child star liv- ng in poverty in Brooklyn, the old gaffer is given a second chance on television and becomes colossal nuisance who pretty near wrecks his benefactor's romance and his show. There were a good many things the matter with this dream.

For one Ed Wynn, who was rediscovered on "Requiem For A Heavyweight" and again in 'The Great Man" and still again in "The Great American Hoax," is in danger of being rediscovered just once too often. All these parts are beginning to sound exactly alike and they are all, unfortunately, retting longer. For instance in "The Great Man" the Wynn part couldn't have been more than five minutes long and then he disappeared, never to be seen again. It was mighty effective. But when you take the same character and same mannerisms and i i them over an hour, there is a watering down of dramatic interest and, even more importantly, of sympathy.

I mean an old gaffer who becomes a nuisance to the other characters Is always in danger of becoming just as big a nuisance to the audience if you leave him on too long. "No wonder no one laughs at omedians any more," said a com- dlan I know who was watching he show with me. "Comedians re not a laughing matter any ore. You read about their emo- onal difficulties arifa their hor- ble childhood in 'Look' maga- ne. Or you see a drama which xplains what absolute monsters ley are in private lives.

At the anyone is to laugh at a come- bright jdian. It's much more appropri- off a TV i ate to burst into tears. Or maybe punch him in the face. But to laugh a comedian--things be- mg like they are--it's indecent." I'm afraid I agree. There's been too much insidi: dope about the comedian, too much backstage gossip.

It takes the glamor away from him. More importantly, it makes the comedian an object of concern rather than a figure of fun--and that will never do. The whole profession is suffering as a result of all this intimate disclosure. And the whole profession is also suffering from ovcr-cipo- sure. Much as I admire Sid Caesar and much as will miss him next year on NBC.

1 must confess that the network is dead right and he is dead wrong. Mr. Caesar is a TV baby and accustomed to think in once-a-weck terms. But the public is soing to get tired of it even if there were a comedian who could be good once a week every week. Mr.

Caesar came as close to that objective as, I think) anyone ever will--but not even he managed to make it. And even if he hSd, the public would, still get sick of him. Even worse, it is going to get sick of comedians and of comedy itself. There is a point of surfei't and, when it is reached, it affects not only the welcome of individual comedians but of all comedians. The fact is, there are only so many comedy ideas at a time.

Let one guy do a parody on "This Is Your Life" and pretty soon they are all doing it. Within a very short time, no matter how brilliant the parodies, the public stops I don't know what can be done about the' comedian but I think lie had better stop laying bare his soul for-a couple of years. We'll lever start laughing again until he stops breaking our hearts.

John Gharrett, acting administrator for the Alaska Commercial Fisheries, said three additional applications--totaling file for approval The crew of the British Canberra twin jet bomber that stopped here at Ladd three times--once on its way to Tokyo, once again for repairs when a fuel pump went out, and the last time on its way back to London--were more than pleased with the cooperation given them by the Air Fores here.

All three of the crewmen were vocal in their praise of the speedy, efficient help they received at Ladd, both from officers and men. Particularly were they thankful for the help got when the fuel pump forced them to turn back and land at Ladd for repairs.

What with Miller planning to use our rivers as highways for their empty bottles, we don't know whom we belong to anymore. The latest service being offered hunters and hikers in Alaska is a carrier pigeon rental down Chugiak Way, this side of Anchorage.

The Chugiak Calendar, one of our favorite little newspapers, reports that Jim Stegner of Chugiak is training a flock of carrier pigeons this summer for the fall hunting season. Anyone making extended trips to the boondocks can rent a bird for the trip and send the homers home with messages, emergency or otherwise. The only hitch is that the birds will home only to Stegner's lumber yard in Chugiak, so it looks like they will have limited use in this area. That's a long way to send a request for clean socks and another bottle of old sockeye. Speaking of homes, the Fountain of the World religions sect, under their leader Master Krishna Venta, have arrived in the Fox River Valley near Homer, where they plan to build 3.

settlement. The bare-foot, long-robed group were here last summer seeking possible sites for their home and, after survey of most of the territory, chose the Fox River Valley on the Kenai Peninsula. Twelve members are in the first group to ssttle on three homesteads and more are to follow from southern California. Forty members, most of them children, are scheduled to arrive sometime in July.
