 From that modest beginning Joe has progressed during the past ten years to his present status, arriv- ing at each milestone the hard way, working methodically, and conscientiouSly. Following his ap- premiership he served a year longer at Haines on regular status, then taught at Kokrines for three years. He spent two years at Kluk- wan, then worked with the evacu- ated Aleuts at Killisnoo, where he established so happy a relation ship with the people of neighbor- ing Angoon that he was assigned to his present post by request of the townspeople, who are warm in their approval of this most recent advancement of one who seemed fated to futility and death, but who succeeded in spite of the worst barriers the gods could raise be- fore him.

 Flag At South Pole

 Aboard the U. s. s. Mt. Olym- pus in the Antartica, Delayed)- Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd flew over the South Pole today and dropped flag representing the United Nations at the Pole, dis paches from Little America an nounced.
 In flying over the pole, Byrd duplicated his feat of Nov. 29, 1929. The dispatches did not state how far his plane had flown into areas never before beheld by hu- man eyes.
 Byrd returned to Little America at 11:45 am. after a flight of near ly l8 hours.
 His plane took off accompanied by a second craft and returned with it, but it was not immediately announced whether both had flown over the pole.
 Byrd sent a personal message to Admiral Chester Nimitz, U. S. chief of naval operations, written while he was circling over the pole.
 The temperature at the pole was reported to be 40 degrees below zero at an altitude of l2,000 feet.

Cold Wave Over Middle West

A cold wave struck at the Dako- taS, Minnesota and Wisconsin to- day and colder weather was in store for the rest of the midwest
 Cold wave warnings were issued for Minnesota, North Dakota, east ern South Dakota and northern and central Wisconsin, and the weather bureau at Chicago pre- dicted colder weather for the Great Lakes region, northern plains states and upper Mississippi valley.
 Pembina, N. D., reported that the temperature dropped from 3 above to l2 below zero within two hours this morning.
 The new drop will bring subnor- nal temperatures to most of the north central states, and the cooler readings will last for the greater part of the week, forecasters said.
 In addition, storm was devel- Oping over the southwest which will bring rain and snow to the central great plains, the middle Mississippi valley and the southern Great Lakes region by the middle of the week Snow was predicted for the central great plains tomor- row.

NEW PRINCIPAL AT ANGOON SCHOOL

JUNEAU-Supt.. of Alaska Ma tive Service, Don C. Foster, this week announced the promotion ot Joseph M. Kahklen, teacher at Angoon Government School, from an SPA civil service rating to an SP-6 and principalship of the An goon school.
 Such promotions in recognition of responsible work faithfully per- formed are not unusual in the teaching profession of the Alasea Native Service, MT. Foster pointe4 : out. But behind that simple state ment lies a most heartening human interest story-the account of an Alaska Native boy who made good in spite of almost inSurmountable difficulties; who, driven by the fervent desire to serve his people, worked tirelessly and methodically to master the technical learning of his profession; supplemented his federal student loan by work oul- side of classes; then just as the coveted diploma was but two weeks away, collapsed with tuber- culosiS, with involvment of almost the entire left lung. That was in June, 1886.
 His graduation from Ellensburg Normal School delayed, Joe spent nearly year at Yakima Sanitor- lum, Wash, while his life hung in the balance. In January, a visit by the Alaska education director of the Indian Service found him in said case, his life despaired of. Married, father of baby boy, un- able to make a living for himself or them, considered in the final stages of ravaging disease-what man could contemplate a more tragic lot?
 That Joe worked his way back to a complete cure and to the goal he had set himself, reflects not only to the credit of the Yakima Sanitorium doctors and nurses who cared for him, but to Joe's own patience and stamina.
 He was a model patient and when at last the day came that he could again petition Alaska Native Service for teaching position, he wrote:
 "1 am doing remarkably we'll. am permitted to walk around and am almost up to my normal weight. My recent sputum test was again And again; in July, 1887: "Of course, my aim has al- ways been to teach in my home land and it won't be too soon be- fore I can take my place among my own people in Alaska"
 Pronounced an arrested case but as yet too delicate and inexperi- enced to take on the full responsi- bilities of a regular teaching posi-

the Legion envisioned q world or

10-Member Council Urged.
The Legion suggested revampins
the Security Council into q 10
member body-two each from the
United States, Britain and Russia,
one each from France and China
and two selected by the remaining
member states.
At present, Britain. Russia.
France. China and this country are
permanent members Of the IL
member Council, with each exercis-
ing veto power over any matter of
substance" before that body.
Under the Legion plan, any one
Of the Big Five still would be able
to block admission of new U. N
members or the creation Of special
investigating commissions. unless
some question of aggression were
involved.
Three Changes Recommended.
| In calling for changes to give the
Council adequate powers" the pro-
posal urged these three points:
(a) Creation Of an atomic devel-
opment authority responsible to the
Council for rigid control of atomic
weapons and all other means of
mass destruction.
(b) Power for the Council to
limit the total annual output Of
heavy armament all over the world.
The, Council would be empowered
and directed" to allot to each OF five
major powers an individual produc-
tion quota which they could not
exceed, and to allot to other men,
bers a collective quota to be pro-
duced solely by nonprofit arma-
ment authority operating under the
Council.
+ (c.) Maintenance Of a staff OF in
spectors with full rights and access
to arms production. information on
troop concentrations, industrial re-
sources and activities.
Professional u. N. Army Asked.
The Legion said the world police
force-already envisioned under the
Charter, but its formation stalled
! by disagreement over details
should consist of one active inter
national contingent and Ave ma
tional contingents ready to operate
as reserves "wherever needed"
The international contingent, COM
posed of volunteers from the smaller
member states only, would "consti-
1 tute professional army, highly paid
and highly trained and disciplined. "
This international contingent, the
Legion said, cannot become an in
strument of world tyranny because
1t has only one-ffth of the world S
effective armed strength.
Its regiments and squadrons from
the smaller states. by supporting
the power of the Security Council,
are insuring the survival Of their
own countries"
