Alaska fishermen pipeline WASHINGTON (AP) — Alas- ka’s fishermen are taxing themselves a penny per fish to pay for a court battle against the proposed trans-Alaska pipeline, which they contend would destroy their livelihood. "It’s just that oil and fish are not -. compatible,” Knute Johnson tolda news conference here Tuesday, “We are not against a pipeline as such,"" said Johnson, ‘chairman of the Cordova Dis- trict fisheries union. “We are not against progress and em- ployment and money for Alaska ..." The CDFU is asking that the Interior ‘ Department’ be prohibited from granting a. permit for the pipeline to run 800 miles from the North Slope to a tanker terminal at Valdez. The 450-member union charges that heavy ship traffic through the Valdez Arm would inevitably lead to oil spills which would destroy crabs, salmon and other fish, Johnson ; said the area often is en- shrouded by fog and is subject fo winds of 80-100 miles per hour.

LONDON (CP) — Sir Alex- "ander Cadogan, permanent “head of the British foreign of, fice, rated Neville Chamber- © lain as “‘the best of the lot” ‘ among political leaders, In Cadogan's view, Winston Churchill was rambling . and sentimental. Foreign Secre- tary Anthony Eden. was al- ways jumping about and Field Marshal Viscount: Montgomery .was more “‘a film star” than a general. AH through the Second World War, Cadogan faith- fully committed his inner thoughts to diaries, now pub- lished in book form by Cas: sells. The book tells the story of a civil servant in a high position of trust who tried des- perately to prevent war but once committed was deter- mined that there would be no turning back. until the fight was won. ® Actress makes come-back HOLLYWOOD (AP) — Ruth Hussey is back on the scene after more than a decade of re- tirement, “Now that my.children are mainly grown up,” the hand- some grandmother says, “I think it would be nice if 1 could do something now and then.” Tonight she'll be seen as guest star on Marcus Welby, M.D., It'sher first television since she starred on Playhouse 90, Studio One and other top dramas when they were done live a dozen years ago. | More recently she played a Washington, D.C., business- woman in a Jimmy Stewart Show segment taped for telecast next January.

HAD GREATINSF LUENCE As top diplomatle adviser, Cadogan wielded tremendous influerice in both the Cham- berlain and Churchill govern- ments, In 1938 he believed that the “parrot cry” of rear-' mament was merely a confes- sion of foreign policy failure, “Wemust not go to war; we can't go to war,'’ he wrate and then in another page added: “A u tum n crocuses just coming up. Shall ] see » them again and what will they portend?” He was often called to Buckingham Palace to confer with King George VI In 1938 he felt sorry for the monarch, intelligent and well informed and yet acutely aware he was “unable to do-anything." He spoke to Benito Musso- linl and found Benito’s col- Corvairs defective ? WASHINGTON (AP) — Gen- eral Motors Corp. agreed Tues- day to notify some 760/000 own- ers of Corvair automobiles, from the 1961-through the 1969- year models, of possible heater system defects. ’ The manufacturer will advise Corvair owners to have their ears inspected by a Chevrolet dealer and repaired, if neces- sary, to eliminate dangerous fumes, . The inspections and repairs will be made at the expense of the owners unless’ warranty provisions are still in effect. Transportation Secretary John A. Volpe announced the agreement one day before a ‘meeling at which General Mo- tors was to have appeared with regard to an Oct. 29 finding of the national highway traffic safety administration that a safety defect existed in the en- Zine-and-heater system of Cor-. vairs of the 1965-year model.
