Rescue of those on the stranded Northern Airways plane down near the Sloko river two miles from the mouth of the Inklin river. was de- layed today by unfavorable weather conditions. Radio contact with the Marine Airways pilot Lon Cope who yester- day flew his ship to the scene of the Inishap has been very weak. Clear contact was made with Cope at 8:30 o'clock this morning by radio sta- tion RANG of the Alaska Air Trans port at which time the rescue pilot said 1t was showing heavily making & take-off impracticable for his wheel equipped Fairchild. Cope's signal was heard again at noon to- day but too weak for interpretation. At 2;30 pm. Cope was heard and said he would stay overnight waiting for a weather break.
 . If the snow persists the grounded party will have to pack a runway with their snow shoes in order to provide a take-off
 Eight men and two airplanes, the Northern Airways Waco and the weather bound Marine Airways Fairchild are now stranded in the isolated area.

ARMSTRONG TELLS
 COURT OF FIGHT,
 FOURTH OF JULY
Defendant Takes Stand as Government Rests Case
 in Alldrd Staying

The Government rested it's case today in the trial of Jerome Arm strong for the alleged murder of Peter Allard at Kalina Bay, near Sitka last August, and the defendant and two defense witnesses took the stand.
 Armstrong told the court of a fight with the deceased on July 4, l957, in which fight he said he had been thrown into the water from Sitka dock by Allard and that Allard threw poles, like spears at Arm strong, struggling in the water.
 At that time, Armstrong said an other troller appeared and told A. lard he couldn't do that" where upon, according to Armstrongs tes- timony, the protesting troller was also thrown in the bay, to swim ashore with Armstrong and get a rifle with which to protect them selves while they regained their boats.
 Clarence Durgin, one-legged troll CT, took the witness stand as last witness for the Government, telling of the Fourth of July fight which Armstrong later described. Durgin also said that in April of this year, Armstrong told him Durgin he had bought gun and wouldn't take another licking from Allard.' Witnesses called today by the Gov ernment were Mrs. Peter Allard, widow of the deceased; Henry Bahrt, Deputy Marshal from Sitka Dr. w w. Council and J. P Williams of Juneau, testifying as to direction of the bullets entrance in Allard's head, Vic Ross, Deputy Marshal of Juneau, and Clarence Durgin, one legged Sitka troller.
 Deefnse Attorney George Grigsby called Charlie Birdsell, troller at the scene of the death, Charles Vel come, fighting with Allard at the time of death, and the defendant, Armstrong.
 It is believed possible the case may go to the jury tomorrow after noon or Thursday.
 Judge George F. Alexander to- day excluded spectators from the court other than relatives of the principals involved.

DAWSON TALKS
TO R0TARIANS

Britsin's rearmament program
is the greatest political fact in the
world today. in the eyes Of Frank
Drake Dawson, Enghsh-born stu
dent of world affairs. who ad-
dressed the Tacoma Rotary club
Thursday at the Hotel Winthrop.
Dawson. a resident of North
Bend, Wash, outlined To the club
his views of British international
responsibility. He reviewed the
fundamental differences between
Neville Chamberlain and Anthony
"Reminiscences of a man who
was brought up in security and
whose nature won't permit him To
take risks and one whose wartime
youth was nothing but risk and
who does not fear II now.
The speaker cited the present
world situation and Munich as
confirmation of the theory that a
weak England means chaotic
Europe.
Britain had lost sight of the
fact that you not only have to fight
to get democratic freedom, but you
have to be ready at all times to
fight to keep it," he said.
