Alaska's Friend Bill Hearst Alaska will be honoreS today by a visit from one of the-foremost newspaper publishers of the United States. He is William Randolph Hearst, editor in chief of the Hearst Newspapers, a group of 17 large metropolitan dailies published in cities from Boston to Los Angeles. Mr.

Hearst is coming to Alaska to have a personal look at the 49th state, which he played an important part in bringing into being. The Hearst Newspapers, under his leadership, were in the forefront of the wonderful support the Alaska statehood cause had from the American press. Not only through his papers, but personally in calling on members of Congress in Washington, Mr. Hearst fought the good fight to bring statehood All Alaskans honor him for his selfless and devoted efforts in our behalf. Son of a famous father, who left a mark on American journalism second to that of no other man, Mr.

Hearst began his career as a working journalist on the New York American in 1928. From reporter, he advanced to city editor and eventually publisher of that large newspaper, later heading up all the numerous Hearst enterprises. Accompanying him on his Alaska visit is Bob Considine, famous correspondent and columnist. They are having a look at Alaska because they believe it to be one of the most important places in the world today, one which will blossom under its new form of government into one of the greatest states of all. If it does, it will be with the help of Bill Hearst, the best friend a territory ever had.

We welcome him with full hearts to Alaska. August Already August sure slipped up on us this year. Come to think of it, it does every year. Maybe it's those short nights in June and July in this part of the world. August the last month of the last complete month of freedom for many youngsters of school age, who must return to school or college in In United States history, many significant military achievements occurred in August.

It was 58 years ago, on Aug. 14, that a force including U. S. Marines arrived in Peking to relieve the American, British, French, German and Japanese had been besieged by a Chinese organization popularly known as the Boxers. On Aug.

19, -1812, our "Constitution" won its famous victory over the British frigate "Guerriere." The British had held the U.S. Navy in contempt, and the victory" of the "Constitution" was something of shock, and also achieved a boosting of morale among American seamen. On Aug. 14, 1945, of course, the Japanese surrendered to the Allies and ended World War II, the greatest war in history. On Aug.

21, 1939, President Roosevelt appealed to Hitler to examine every possible means which might prevent the outbreak of general war. Eleven days later Hitler went to war with Poland. Other historical events, affecting the United States, occurred in August. In 1492, on Aug. 3, sailed from Palos, Spain, pledged: "To sail until I should reach the Indies." Herbert Hoover was born Aug.

10, 1874. Robert Fulton's steamboat "Clermont," sailed up the Hudson River from New York City Aug. 11, 1807. Benjamin Harrison, 23rd president of the United Statesrwas born Aug. 20, 1833.

August is a great month. We only wish it were about 60 days off, instead of now well launched. Mischievous PHOE.NIX, ffl Molina, 11, picked out a vacant lot and rented parking space to motorists attending graduation ceremonies in Montgomery Stadium. A resident complained to police that the lot was not blacktopped as required by city ordinance and the cars were kicking up dust. The police arrived, -and closed the parking lot operation.

The $6 collected by Mary was held for "safekeeping of the owner of the lot, unknown at the time." Commercial production of barbed "wire started in 1874.

It seems to me that the exchange of letters between the Premier and the President ha: now reached this ironic prospect: Neither wants a summit 'erence of a kind which the other approves but their very efforts to avoid the kind of summit they don't want is having the end result of bringing them together. Mr. Khrushchev wants a con- 'erence of the Big Four plus iidia for the announced pur- Dose of condemning the United States for sending troops to Lebanon and of arranging for their "immediate withdrawal." Mr. Eisenhower does' not want to stand before the world as refusing to meet with the Russians, so he countered with the proposal that the heads of state take their chairs at the Security Council which could also invite additional countries like India and the Arab states. Mr.

Khrushchev accepted at first and at once, but when he realized that the rules and procedures of the Security Council would make it difficult for him to turn such a summit into a kind of Soviet-style trial of the United States, he reversed himself and started blaming Mr. Eisenhower for stalling. Mr. Eisenhower will undoubtedly respond to the latest Khrushchev counter by suggesting an August date at the Security Council at which he will undertake to be present if the Soviet Premier wishes to show up. And there it backing away from the kind of summit meeting they don't want and both backing into a summit meeting neither can seem to avoid.

There is nothing in the known attitudes of the Soviet government or anywhere in Mr. Khrushchev's long, invective-laden letters to show he wants to work out any common, constructive approach to the eruptions and instabilities in the Middle East. In many ways Premier de Gaulle wrote the best reply to Mr. Khrushchev's 'aet's- meet-oa-my-terms" proposal. He wrote with pointed under- statement: "I must point out to you that many passages in your letter could hardly make easy the necessary relaxation of tensions and understanding between the eventual participants." What does Mr.

-Khrushchev want the summit meeting to do? He called 'for it for one stated purpose: to order U.S. and British troops out of Lebanon and Jordan and put nothing in their place. Why does he object to a Security Council summit meeting? He says he objects to it because the Security Council has tried to deal, with the problem but "has not decided anything so far." Somehow he fails to mention that only the Soviet veto, only one vote out of the entire Security Council membership, blocked the dispatch of U.N. peace forces to Lebanon so that American troops could leave. To block the Security Council from acting and then to blame the Security Council for not acting is a kind of argument which, it seems to me, reveals Moscow's determination to keep the Middle East unsettled, not pacified.

Will Mr. Khrushchev in the end decide to attend a Security Council summit conference? I would think it would depend on his answer to this question: Can the Soviets make more hay by refusing to attend and continuing to try to blame the U.S. for blocking the summit, or will he conclude that he can effectively harrass the West at any kind pf summit meeting? At this stage my own guess would be that both Mr. Eisenhower' and Mr. Khrushchev have backed so far into a summit meeting that nei-, ther can back out.

This kind of summit meeting by accident looks pretty unpromising, but we ought to try to work earnestly for a big-power agreement jwbich would collectively guarantee the peace and economic growth of the Middle East.

Bolle is a large scholarly gentleman, with a shock of faculty hair, who gave up teaching to, become a newspaperman. He is now stationed in Washington as correspondent for Het Vrije Vblk, of Amsterdam.

From time to time he suffers from the quaint delusion that he is beginning to understand America, but something always turns up in the nick of tune to restore him to rational uncertainty. The journalistic Netherlander hasn't'figured out Sherman Adams, yet, although a few people have so thoroughly gotten in Dutch. The other day, however, Prof. Bolle had a feeling which turned out to be fleeting that he was at least seeing this country through new and clearer eyes. In his professional capacity, he interviewed 28 Dutch exchange students.

He thought he was getting the real picture when the teen-agers be- jan comparing Dutch and American life, as they had experienced it.

Many mothers didn't have to worry about the wood, because father was pretty sure to come home with a load. This undoubtedly explains why all city children grew up to be devils, and all country children, angels. But it seems to me that, in this scientific age, it would be anachronistic to build a woodshed as a Correctional institution. By employing the latest in technology, we could construct a torture chamber in a corner of the game room. i restrictions Prof.
