Monday. Oct. 27-Didn't get to go on the train. Spent the af- ternoon at the Times office in Anchorage.
 Tuesday. Oct. 2s-Went to FL mendort Field. Ate dinner at the Post. Rode in the link trainers. Went through the hangars and radio room. Soldiers took me back to the Times office.
 Wednesday. Oct. 29-Left An chorage at 8:3O a. m. It took eight and a half hours to get to Lagoon. Lagoon is the railroad section where the Mommsens live four miles from the Park.
 We saw Mt. Mckinley about noon at Talkeetna. We came through Ft. Richardson, Elklu. tna, Matanuska, Wasilla, Eagle River, Birchwood, Pittman, Hus- ton, Nancy, Willow, Kashwitna, Caswell, Montana, Sunshine, Fish Lake, Talkeetna, Chase Lane, Curry, Sherman, Gold Creek, Hurricane, Honolulu, Colorado, Broad Pass, Summit, Cantwell, Wendy, Carlo Yamet, and then to Lagoon.
 These were mostly section houses. It was an interesting and pretty trip.
 Thursday. Oct. 30-Today we we went to Mt. Mckinley hotel and looked around there seeing all there was to see. Nice place. Then we went to headquarters about two miles rom the hotel. John, the chief ranger, showed me around the camp. It is quite a place. They have small museum which is quite nice. They have an office for the rangers. And a guest book. So signed by John Henry. Have a rangers dormi- tory and dog kennels. They used to have a dog team of 50 dogs. Also met MT. Dean, supt. of the park. The park has several tobog- gans on which I sure had fun. Also have several "snow jeeps" which are white and have tracks about a foot and a half wide, with Continued on page 8

Barn Dance Nets
 Necessary Funds For COrdOva Trip

The barn dance, sponsored by members of Wright's Girls bas- ketball team to raise funds for a trip to Cordova, was a "com- plete financial success" accord ing to Mrs. Ethel Lyons, team manager.
 Ticket sales alone reached the S20O goal set by the planning committee. Proceeds from the food sale at the dance more than met all expenses of the affair, Mrs. Lyons said.
 The committee was fortunate in securing the services of a To- cal orchestra, and the music they provided added greatly to the success of the evening. Sev- eral parties of dance-goers car ried out the barn dance theme by planning hay-rides to provide transportation to Butte hall.
 The Cordova basketball game has not been definitely sched- uled yet. Mrs. Lyons has asked for playing dates early in De- cember, but has not yet received confirmation.

Shortly after ward at o'clock in the afternoon, he felt a terrific bump which knocked him cut of his bunk, sent the companiorway stairs crashing oown and toppled everything from galley shelves. He rushed up to the deck and found the little ship hard on a reef and no sign of his shipmate.

U. 5. Will Spend Proceeds of German Exports 10
 Buy Needed Imports

BERLIN, Aug. 1-tR-In bold attempt to open European markets to free trade, the American mili- tary government will spend mil lions of dollars in Europe buying goods from Germany's neighbors, authoritative sources declared to- day.
 The dollars will come from the sale of Germany's exports under the American British bi-zonal im- port-export plan, according to these sources. Goods will be bought wherever they can be found, wheth- CT in western European countries or those dominated by Russia.
 This program has been initiated already in the signing and nego- tiating of trade agreements with Czechoslovakia, Switzerland and Italy. It is intended to refute frequent Soviet charges that Ameri- ca is trying to drain Europe of dollars.
