 FOR MISSING YOUNG MAN

A letter to The sentinel from Mrs. E. J. Forester, former Wran. gell resident, asks aid of The Sen tinel in trying to help locate the son of one of Mrs. Forrester's close friends in Palo Alto where she now lives. Mrs. Forester said the 18-year-old young man disappeared mysteriously and suddenly while attending school and it is thought he might have come to Alaska. His mother is frantic with worry, Mrs. Forester added. Description of the boy is as follows:
 Alan ". Bourke, IS. Stanford student disappeared from home January 6, 1947. He is feet 3 inches tall, blonde, blue eyes and wears glasses. His two upper front teeth are chipped due to a fall in childhood. His mother is Mrs. Jessie K. Bourke of 2O41 Louis Road, Patio Alto, California. Any one having any knowledge of the young mans whereabouts should get in touch with Mrs Bourke.

Whether the British American

ton. The military government eco
nomic experts believe it can, with
hard work, cooperation and luck.
But the thousands of shattered
cities, homes and factories, the in

and the listless people are enough
to give pause to most optimists.

tons of coal daily After two years,

production has staggered up to 240,-
900 tons daily.

Russian Confidence Seen
In Quick Treaty Approval

Russia's unexpectedly quick rati-
fication of peace treaties with five
former Axis partners is viewed by
American diplomatic authorities as
evidence Moscow now feels she has
@ firm clutch on Eastern Europe.
A national election in Hungary
today promises, they say, a
triumphant climax to a campaign
to rivet Soviet control on the east
ern part of the continent before the
treaties with Hungary, Bulgaria,
Romania, Finland and Italy take
full effect.
Consequently, the announcement
of Russian ratification Of the pacts
was received by the State Depart
ment here with an obvious lack OF
enthusiasm.
United States officials had ex-
pected Soviet ratification to come
after the Hungarian balloting. 1t
already had been delayed until after
the waves of arrests and purges
which erased the last anti-Com-
munist opposition in neighboring
Romania and Bulgaria in the last
three months,
Since Moscow chose to accept the
treaties ahead of the Hungarian
voting, the step was regarded here
as an indication Russia is sure there
will be no upset at the polls and the
election will give Hungary another
government responsive to Soviet
policy.

tional election since the war tomor-
row. with experienced political OBJ
servers predicting a clear-cut victory
for the Communists who have dom
mated the left-wing government

Russian ratification Of the Hun
garian peace treaty yesterday was
of major importance, although lead
ers of the principal parties said 1t
would have no effect on the out
come of the election.
The ratification scotched anti
Communist rumors that Russia
would withhold approval of the pact
until after the election. News of
the Russian move put members of

Outlook Is Gloomy,
Retiring Head Of
U. N. Council Says
By the Assoeiatsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 30.-Farts
el Khoury of Syria, retiring presi-
dent Of the Security Council, de-
clared today that the five great
powers hold the balance between
war and peace, and that the fu-
tire looks gloomy. with people
speaking of a Third World War
as one speaks of the weather"
He said the balance between war
and peace lay with the five great
powers rather than with the small
nations and he added that the eyes
of billions of people throughout
the world were turned toward those
powers.
Mr.. El Khoury expressed his views
in statement as he complGed per-
haps the hardest months work that
any chairman has yet experienced.
Gromyko to Take Place.
He sat through a flock Of vetoes,
arguments on Indonesia and men,
berships and the Balkans, and still
came up with the hope that the
U. N. soon will emerge from its
growing pains and the citadel of
peace to the world a"
He will be succeeded Monday by
Andrei A. Gromyko, Soviet deputy
foreign minister, in the usual
monthly rotation Of the presidency
according to the English alphabeti-
cal order of the member nations.
Mr.. Ell Khoury said he had done
great deal Of "soul-searching"
since he was appointed to represent
Syria on the Security Council.
He said he felt that the council
was still far from having fulfilled
It's task and that the peoples of the
world appear to be disappointed.
He said two years have elapsed
since We Day and VI day and
peace still seems a long way off.
"A Third World War" he said,
which would most probably be an
atomic war, would mean the end
Of our civilization. We members
Of the security council have been
elected to prevent war, to establish
and maintain peace"
On Vacation Till Sept. 8
He said that small nations have
little power.
They cannot make war nor have
they the necessary strength to main
tain world peace" he said. 1T is

members in this council Russla,
China, Britain. France and United
State) in whose hands lies the
balance between war. and peace. It
is to the privileged members Of
this Council that the billions Of
eyes of suffering humanity are
turned, imploring. pleading and
praying for peace"
Mr.. Ell Khoury and the other
Council delegates are now on vaca-
tion until September 9 when they
will start again on the Egyptian
case. They also will take a lead
ing part in the U. N. Assembly
which opens September 16.

Mr.. Gromyko is, in fact, the very
model Of modern Russian diplo-
mat.
Personally, he is not unattractive.
He is young for his present re-
sponsibilities.
He was only "a when he was
named Ambassador to the United
States and is only 80 now.
The Soviet delegate looks even
younger than he is.
He has full. round, clean-shaven,
boyish face and full head of thick,
black, wavy hair-often the only
one at the Council table, which
otherwise is pretty much a bald
headed row of much older men.
Bobby soxers in the U. N. visitors
gallery recently nominated Mr..
Gromyko their dream boat" and
it seemed for time that they might
start squealing and swooning over
him at any moment, if given the
slightest encouragement.
Even older women, fully clothed
and apparently in their right minds,
have said that Mr.. Gromykos voice
is positively musky with sex ap-
peal.
Not Interested in Personality.
Mr.. Gromyko does nothing to
encourage these estimates, so far
as the world can tell, nor to ex-
plot the possibilities they might
seem to suggest.
Yet there is nothing austere or
forbidding about him as a human
being.
He drinks moderately, preferably
Scotch and soda or beer. he plays
chess, likes to fish and is movie
fan. He especially liked Gone
With the Wind"
Mr.. Gromyko has an adequate
sense Of humor, too.
Asked to provide material for
a biographical sketch, he said, MY
personality does not interest me-"
After reading an article about
himself In New York newspaper,
he said:
"It's about half true and half
untrue. Since this is balanced
newspaper, that is to be expected"
The Soviet delegate has even been
known to joke about U. N. pro-
cedure and hts own vetoes.
A reporter once buttonholed him
and asked his opinoin on a minor
issue.
That's not important" said Mr..
Gromyko. THE substantive issue is,
where is my overcoat?"
Maintains Poker Face.
But Andrei Gromyko the servant
of the Kremlin is an entirely diff
ferent creature from Andrei Gromy-
ko the individual human being.
He is no dream boat to the other
he deals with.
Officially, he is humorless, austere,
