Letter From Alaska
BY Mary j. MeDougall

First l want to tell you that
! feel as if half of me is left in
Seattle with my boy. surely hope
l can get over it eventually. 1t
seems l have been on the go and
on big rush since l arrived at
Anchorage. 1 will give you a brief
story of my trip North.
We had an enjoyable trip most
of the way, except when We ran
into clouds and fog. l was trifle
uncomfortable when the plane be-
gan to rock. 1t felt as if it were
going to fall apart any minute. l
sat with a girl from Anchorage
and she cordially invited me to
stay at her home but l refused,
thinking I had a room reserved.
Later regretted my refusal when
l, with others, sat around waiting
for our rooms Seems that the
train had returned that day with
unexpected passengers. Some sort
of convention was going on.
Returning to my plane trip: L
was enchanted with the cloud for
nations, with the ripping waters
below and the rugged, cold look
ing mountains on either side. The
water was very clear and appar-
entity quite shallow as we could
look down and see the very bot
tom and observe all sorts of sea
life. OF course we We're too high
up to be able tc see what they
We're, but there We're large white
shapes and dark smaller ones Two
soldiers sitting behind me were
murmuring their wonder about the
clearness of the deep blue sea. At
times the fog was so thick the
plane had to soar higher and then
our eyes began to ache and funny
noises cracked in our ears. That's
when the sticks of gum, in my
handbag, came in handy. You
should have seen me chew them
with a vigor that was neither lady
like nor artistic, or what have you.
When we landed in Anchorage my
Jaws were really tired
I, AS 1 said before, I sat for an
Incur and a half with a group of
Others waiting for rooms to be
vacated. Finally l called up Hotel
Roosevelt. They had no single
rooms but had one with twin beds
50 1 took it-and gladly. Cost me
So per night, but 1 needed to stay
only overnight. Then l went to the
Alaska Airlines Office to see about
flying to Bethel the next day. but
was told the next trip would be
ION Tuesday-and this was Friday.
lCancelled my ticket there and as
the Northern Consolidated RAY
!Petersonl was making a trip the
next day. l made arrangements
with them. BY this time it was
nearly five p m, so rushed over
for some fresh fruit to take with
me. We were to leave at seven
the next morning. I was getting
famished by now, so took my pur-
chase home and tidied UP a bit,
but as l was pretty weary and
my head was swimming from the
plane ride. decided to lie down and
rest for about twenty minutes, but
10, | fell asleep and didn't awaken
before one O'clock, and so didn't
have any dinner. l made up for
that at breakfast though - two
eggs with little sausages. fri d
potatoes. fruit, toast, coffee and
more coffee. Next morning. at the
airport, l met several teachers
that were on their way to their
jobs. We stopped at McGrath for
two hours. had dinner there. Next
stop was at Aniak where we took
or mail and two more passengers
When we We're half way TO Bethel.
The plane was called back to Aniak
or an emergency. A little girl had

shot herself with a rifle in the
foot. After that we proceeded to
Bethel without mishap.
Mother and Freda were both
there to meet me, and friends
dropped in to welcome me home.
But then l had to make arrange
ments for my trip to Eek the next
day. Arrived at Eek 1000 a. m.
The pontoon plane was Sc heavily
loaded that pilot Brown had to
dig me out. Moving my things out,
he dropped my suitcase right into
the Eek River. All the village peo-
pie were down to meet me-all
screeching and yelling and 1, of
all things, stood there shaking
hands with tears streaming down
my face. But when 1 found that
Supt Marlander had given me the
wrong keys and I could not get
in, l felt there really was some
thing to cry about. The old vii
lage chief felt sorry fer me, and
with a hammer he took the hinges
off the door so I could get in.
Bless his SOUL
The teachers cottage is cute and
quite comfortable, and by now
have it cleaned and there isn't
even a cobweb in the place. Next
thing we had to file the lock off
the Schoolhouse door in order to
get in and check the school freight
and get it out so 1 could start
school. The larger children helped
me unpack while l was checking
and carried the boxes and cases of
tomato, orange and grapefruit
juice to the storeroom. Next, the
president of the village council
came to see me about petition
for a post office, and in a day
or so l have to register all young
men 10 to Is years old and then
file an application for relief On
top of all an epidemic of dysentary,
so 1 have to run around with my
sulfa tablets and dose this one
and that one. So it's continuous
merry-go-round. In the evenings I
run down to the radio at Gil'S and
answer the phone calls from Supt.
Marlander-he imagined Il was
pretty disappointed about tn
keys!'
Sept. 2O-6:3O a. m.
Today is first day of school. and
the school breakfast is being pre-
pared by me, so 1 decided to finish
this epistle while cooking is in
progress. The villagers have show
cred me with native foods such as
fresh small white fish and silver
salmon. After dusk last evening
an elderly woman brought me
smoked salmon strips and a big
Canadian goose. Surely wish l
could share some of these things
with you. can't possibly use what
they bring. My appetite isn't any
too good, but 1 do get away with
copious quantities of coffee.
4 Just finished my first morning
session. Had 32-with three older
children absent. They all had a
substantial breakfast consisting of
milk. all they could drink, oat-
meal and orange-grapefruit juice
But, oh, the schoolhouse, 1t is so
delapidated, am almost afraid the
roof will fall down.
Been blowing, showing and
freezing the last two days, feels
like Christmas. Hope my stuff

it freezes. Am hungry for potatoes,
onions. etc. and will feast if it
ever gets here.

Research Institute Sees No Proof
OF Immediate War Between u. S.-Soviet

Looking over the prospects for an early war the
Brookngs Institution nonprofit research institute
concludes that there is no-evidence that Russia has
decided is necessary On the other hand it says
a conflict may break out anyway through nadvert-
ence or miscalcuation."
Admitting that relations between United States
and Russia have deteriorated and that either country
might conclude that deliberate of armed force"
is necessary~The Institute concludes that there is
evidence to this effect but that the contrary,
the evidence indicates at least at this time neither
side is seeking an armed clash.'
Noting that the Soviet seems content to the
cold putsch tactics and that this is invncbe until
met by opposing forces of equal strength the Inst
tute notes element in the situation. This is
the growing opposition of the United States, taking
the form of economic assistance to Europe and in-
creased military preparedness in this country.
The authors of the report point out that by this
year. the Soviet Union considers the United States
the only power strong enough to oppose it's influence
and that, to the Russians, 1.-The United States must
seem weak" However, the decision to reconstitute
strength may have a SOLDERING effect" The
fact is pointed out that the precptate rehabilitation
of American armed forces after the recent war, was
of the most powerful encouragements to Soviet
aggression.

Alger Hiss Said To Have Been A
Frankfurter's Happy Hot Dog!
PEGLER sign over the future

sign over the future of Europe
and Asia and probably of the
United States to the Kremlin,
Hiss was at his side. Hiss was
only 40 years old then and as
nimble and 1.-the a physical spe-
cimen as you would be likely to
find at his age and still more
nimble and tricky in his mind.
His testimony before the Thomas
Committee discloses a crafty,
scheming intelligence, trained
to parry and give an impression
of candor and truth to the guilt
BILE layman who is used to open
dealing.
Without denying that he had
ever known Whitaker Cham
bers, the backslid bolo who iden-
titled him as a fellow-conspira-
tor on the Russian side, Hiss
nevertheless gave most of those
present at the scene of his thea
trical disclaimers the impression
that he had denied his old
friend. Thus, when later he was
cornered by a corn-fed high
school boy, Robert Stripping, the
chief investigator of the Thomas
Committee, and confronted with
proof that he had known Cham
bers and not just casually but
intimately, Hiss could change his
story without being accused of
perjury. Mr.. Stripping never was
thrown off by the great brains
clever stalling. He finally faced
him down and Hiss confessed.
Not only was Hiss chosen to
60 to Yalta as State Depart
ment adviser to the dying Presi-
dent of the United States-and
we don't know who was respon-
sible for planting him in that
fateful job-but later he was
planted at San Francisco for the
opening Of the mournful career
of the United Nations. At Yalta,
Frankfurter's Happy Hot Dog
had sat with Roosevelt and Mo-
lotov when a writ was signed
that may have been the death of
Christian civilization.
Now Frankfurter's men sat at
the side of Edward Stettinius,
whom Roosevelt had selected for
Secretary of State and whom
even Harry Truman had the good
sense to unload as soon as he
could. And the speech that Stet-
tinius read was written in con-
siderable part by Dalton Trun,-

since the end of the war. Vast
numbers of Germans, Austrians
Hungarians have been moved in
to Siberia where in the home
land of Genghis Khan and Timur
Lenk a new world is being erect
ed-a slave world of peo-
pies of mixed blood. In this
new world, a race will come in
to being that has never known
Europe, never known Western
civilization, never known Chris
tianity, never known freedom.
Against the utilization of such
power for the subsection of tie
world stands only the United
States with its superior utiliza
ton of coal, iron, oil, aluminium
and uranium. But with small
,er manpower.
There is no prospect of a pow
er rising in Western Europe or
any combination of powers cap
able of withstanding either the
United States or Soviet Russia
unless all the countries of Yves
tern Europe unite. 1t is poss
ible for Western Europe to aid
the United States against Soviet
Russia, but on their own, the
nations of Western Europe poss
ess no potentials for power.
Germany tried to achieve this
twice - tried to include the
Ruhr, the Saar, France Bel
GUM, Holland and other states
into a German-dominated state.
Twice she was stopped and her
failure has become the peril of
Western Europe. For no Euro
pean power stands between Sow
let Russia and the English Chan
mel. The power that contests
Soviet Russia is today not Euro
pean but American and it is
questionable whether there will
be time enough to develop even
auxiliary strength in Western
Europe. The defeat of Germany
may turn out to be the defeat
OF England and France.
Those who speak of One World
OF a federation of nations (wheth
er by name of World Fedora
list or any other), ignore that
this is not an age of peace; we
are at the historical moment of
the rise or fall of one of the
greatest and most ruthless i'm
perialistic powers man has ever
known. This power is Soviet
Russia and it also possesses more
manpower than any Imperialism
has ever held in all human his.
tory. This power will either
subject all mankind to itself or
it will b destroyd.
