territory. some parts of which have
never been visited by q white man,
was brought to Darwin by Jack Nc
Kay. settler at Mainoru Station,
on the border, who had 1t from ma

The women are said to live on the
shore OF big lake-which no white
man has seen-in the center of Arm
helm Land. Whenever nomads get
near. the women slide from the
rocks into the water and remain
there until the visitors leave.
These are thought to be members
OF "a hidden tribe" which natives
say are human only in their physi-
cal form. Some think the women
may be survivors of a wreck. just

MEAT WINS OVER QUEEN

The announcement from London that Queen Elizabeth of England would receive Eva Duarte de Peron of Argentina climaxes one of the most frantic and fantastic back sage pressure campaigns in recent diplomatic history.
 Before Sonora Eva left Buenos Aires on June 6. the British Am passador to Argentina, Sir Regin- aid Leeper, was informed by Ar genuine Foreign Minister Juan Bramuglia that she wanted an of ficial invitation to visit London. Moreover, Bramuglia added the first lady desired an audience with Their Majasties.
 Sir RegInald communicated the request to his Government, but 1t was not favorably received. British authorities. always sticklers for form, pointed out that Evita's European tour was, according to the Argeltine Government itself, strictly unofficial Royal reception oi foreign visitor in such circum- stances. they argued, would be without precedent.

Europe Keeps Its Fingers Crossed

The Russian decision to participate in the discus sions at Paris over the Marshall Plan has aroused mixed feelings in Europe. There is relief that the Soviet decided not to boycott the conference and thus automatically intensity the cleavage between western Europe and the Soviet bloc of states There is concern regarding what may lie behind the de- cison an uncertainty bred by Russian moves in the past when apparent cooperation turned out to be course of delay and obstruction.
 Moscow has given indication of what to expect, but Polish suggestion that each nation should de- termine it's own needs and that should be taken that any aid obtained from the United States should not be tied with any political string is considered to be closely in line with Soviet thinking The first o these suggestions clearly is contrary to the Marshall thesis which was that piecemeal relief nation by nation was unsatisfactory; that Europe should de- termne it's needs for relief rehabltaon that when this done the United States would see what help it could give On the face of it this should be relatively simple matter It did not take the British and French Foreign Ministers more than few hours to hit upon workable plan. that of letting United Nations commission handle the technical details Then however they agreed with Secretary Marshall that Russia should have chance to come in Russia now has accepted that invitation but Europe will sit with fingers crossed until the motive of the accept ance becomes clear.

COMMUNICATION

Editor, The Daily Alaska Empire, Dear Sir:
 As spokesman for all the fellows who had the good fortune to spend the 4th of July in Juneau, may l extend this somewhat belated but nonetheless sincere thanks? No city has ever been more friendly, nor has any people demonstrated their appreciation, for what we tried to do, with more conviction. I could sit here and enlarge on this for an hour. I am sure it is not necessary Now and then the morale of an entire military unit is definitely increased. To achieve this condition requires an extra ordinary event. Let me assure the people of Juneau that their hos pitality was just such an event.
 Cordially yours, (Signed) Myron A. Bourland
