NENANA ICE

NENANA, Alaska-(Special Cor
respondent M. j. Cooney, popular
manager of the great Alaska classic
the Nenana Ice Guessing Comics
has been reelected as Manager
and he will be assisted by a COM
mittee of these wellknown sour
doughs, Dave Smalley, Lester Cor
liss, Charles CRIES., Fred Muller
and Tom Jones.
Tickets are now being printed
upon which to write the guessing
time. The contest closes at mid
night on April 4.
New wrinkles"
Many new wrinkles are in pros
pect here for handling the ter
rifle business of tabulating the
guesses made by Alaskans. Mach
inery has been purchased in recent
years and still more new develop
ments are expected this year be-
cause of the increase in the num-
Der of guesses.
The Nenana Ice Guessing Con-
test, noted the world over, entails
the guessing of the exact day, hour
and minute that the ice will break
on the Tanana River in front of
Nenana.
Marks Navigation Opening
The contest has grown up over
a period of many years. The date
was always of vital importance to
interior Alaska for it marks the
opening of navigation and the
movement of mining freight and
supplies by boat.
Today, however, the date is
much more important because the
person guessing the day, hour and
minute of the breakup gets a hand
some purse which should be suffi-
Gent for retirement.
One of the first jobs of the
committee and Manager Cooney
Will be to take action on the rules
for the contest, set the closing date
for making guesses and setting up
the complicated organization need
ed for tabulating the guesses.
Whole Town Helps
The guesses are sent here af-
ter the closing date and a large
portion of the towns populat ton
goes to work sorting them out and
compiling tabulations according to
the time of the guess.
The tabulations are published in
mimeographed book form and sent
TO cities throughout the Territory
50 everyone may see how many
others made identical guesses with
Them.
In the event more than one per-
son is on the winning minute, the
prize is divided among them. If
nobody is on the winning minute,
The nearest guess wins.
Automatic Recording
The exact minute of the break
up is recorded automatically by
an ingenious device invented and
by the contest here
1t consists of a tripod set on the
ice in the middle of the river.
From the tripod to the shore a wire
is stretched that has a certain
amount of slack in it. On the
shore end the wire is attached to
the official clock.
When the ice moves sufficiently
to take up the slack and stop the
clock, the breakup is recorded. Be-
sides stopping the clock, the wire
pulls a cord on the town whistle,
automatically notifying the popu-
lace of the great event which has
just taken place.

leaders.
The attitude Of the British gov
eminent is considered to make II
extremely difficult, II not impos-
sible, for President Roosevelt TO
offer American mediation.
Resentment Felt
Ofhcial Washington understands
the natural resentment which the
British feel toword the Indian POI
litical leaders for attempting TO
take advantage OF Britain in its
hour OF peril to make impractical
demands for immediate and uncon-
ditional independence. That Bri-
tain should feel intensely bitter at
the effort OF Ghandi's party TO en-
force these demands by civil dis
obedience campaign against British
rule also is understood.
Nevertheless. American officials
feel that the issue at stake are too
vital to let sentiments influence
the decisions that are taken.
Under ordinary circumstances
official Washington would be dis
posed TO accept without question
the British contention that India
is the problem of Britain and no
one else. However, there are is
sues involved which American Of
ficials feel make the Indian prob
lem OF definite concern to this coun-
try, and to the United Nations
generally. These issues include.
l. The fact that Britain asked
the United States to send American
troops TO India to help defend that
country. Thus. the lives OF those
American troc ps may be endanger-
ed by internal developments in
India.
?. India is the only remaining
practical route for sending substan-
tial aid TO China. Thus, the main
tenance OF that route is of vital con-
Germ to this. country and China, as
well as to Britain and the other
United Nations who recognize the
importance of keeping Chinese re-
sistance going.
3. The United Nations have de-
clared that one of their principal
war aims is The right OF all coun-
tries to enjoy political freedom.
Evidence OF GOOD faith in respect
to that pledge is considered of the
utmost importance in order to Sc

cure the support OF the freedom
loving peoples of the world TO the
United Nations cause.
Situation Difficult
American officials realize that the
Indian problem Is so difficult 1t
might be impossible to achieve a
satisfactory settlement at this
time even If Britain was prepared
to make further concessions.
However, il is felt that Great
Britain should at least make the
gesture so that the responsibility
for the failure TO reach a settle
ment could be placed squarely and
unquestionably on the shoulders OF
the Indian political leaders. At
present, China, and world public
opinion in general, does not believe
that Britain has gone as far as she
could or should go in trying to
reach a compromise solution Of the
Indian problem.
One of the things Il Is felt that
Britain could do as evidence of its
good faith Is to transfer a greater
degree of political control to India
by making the viceroy's council full
ly Indian, giving responsible Indian
leaders the portfolios of finance,
home affairs and defense.
