Held "a Hours by Reds
By the Assoeioted Press

HAMBURG, Germany, June L.
Four American Consular employees
were held by the Russians for more
than "a hours after their sailboat
drifted onto the shore Of the Soviet
zone during a week end holiday.
They had set out for an hours
sail in small boat from the
British zone side Of Travemunde
Bay. A strong wind carried them
to the Soviet zone side and they
went ashore for food and safety.
It wasn't until the next evening
that they were permitted to re-
enter the British zone. s
The four were Vice Consul John
Perry of Boston, Miss Margery
Ann Combs. Montclair, N. j.; Miss
Katherine Davis, Conroe, Tex, and
Miss Mona Meier. Kansas City,
Mo. All work in the American
Consulate here.
Miss Davis said yesterday that
they were all well treated "by Rus
sian standards" She added:
Both Germans and Russians
were courteous and perfect gentle
men to us. They were always
asking us questions. They seemed
curious about everything. They
asked about the atom bomb, the
Marshall Plan. unemployment in
the United States and our work
at the Consulate.
They were puzzled by us be-
cause we looked like a bunch Of
refugees. We were wearing old
clothes and had no shoes. We
were wet, tired and hungry. They
couldn't understand how we could
look the way we did and claim to
be in the Diplomatic corps"

Peninsula Road To Be Sterling Highway

Although it will in all prob ability never be known among local residents as anything but the Kenai- or Homer Road, the official name of the new high way linking Seward with the villages along Cook Inlet is to be Sterling Highway.
 The Alaska Road Commission, authorized by the Department of the Interior, and approved by Governor Gruening, announced the name in memory of HaWley w. Sterling, one of the earliest road construction men in Alaska.
 Sterling developed methods of road construction needed to overcome certain difficulties peculiar to A la S k a terrain. Permanently frozen ground, swampy land and shifting gla- cial gravel presented nearly in- surmountable barriers to cheap roads which are the first requi- site for the development of the Territory Steep grades over high mountains with the ever present danger of rock and snow slides were also a challenge to engineers, but were overcome by Sterling.
 During his 16 years as assis- tant chief engineer of the Alas ka Road Commission, he was in charge of construction of the Steese Hig h way extending northeastward from Fairbanks to Circle. He laid out and super vised the Glenn Highway con- meeting Anchorage and the Al aska Highway.

Failure fo Register Is Violation of Law

Calling attention to the fact that failure to register is vio- lation of law and makes the delinquent liable to penalty, John l.. Mccormick, Alaska Territorial Director of Selective Service, outlined registration re- quirements under the Selective Service Act of 1948, which he said he believed were not thor oughly understood by all of the general public.
 '"The obligation to register, ; MT. Mccormick said, lis con- tinuing obligation and must be fulfilled regardless of whether men are being inducted into the armed forces under the Selec- tive Service Act. The obligation to register is imposed by the Act on every male, citizen or resident, in the United States between the ages of IS and 26, with only the general excep- tions of members in the armed forces on active duty and cer- tain aliens"
 The young man who becomes IS is required to register at a local board office within five days of the date of his eight eenth birthday, Mccormick ex- plained, but if he happens to be away from home he need not return; he may register at the nearest local board convenient to him and the record will be sent to the local board having (Turn to Page 4)

4. $. C. Announces 1850 Schedule

The Alaska Steamship Com pany 1850 spring and summer schedule, covering sailings from Seward from March 10 through October 6. was annoupced this week by MT w. w. Sipprell. local general agent of the line.
 The new schedule, providing excellent rail belt service, has several distinctive features that are expected to attract the larg- est volume of tourists to this area of any year since the war" " Sipprell said.
 Each vessel will be on a diff ferent 12-day cruise Seward will have two passenger steamer ar rivals and departures each week. New cruise-tours have been ar ranged. In addition, Kodiak Island and Cook Inlet ports will have service on a two-week in- stead of three-Week basis dur ing the tourist season.
 Presumption of passenger service to Seldovia, Homer and Kodiak has particular signifi- canoe to this area" Sipprell stated. At that time," he con- tinued, i've are standardizing fares between those ports and Seattle on the Seward-Seattle level. This means that for the first time person may travel from Seward to Seattle via Sel- dovia, Homer and Kodiak at no additional fare. That amounts to as much as $50 saving on a one way trip"
 Beginning May 6 the regular weekly Seward arrival and de- parture will be stepped up to two with sailings every Tuesday by either the steamer Alaska or Denali and every Friday by either the Aleutian or Baranof.
 Each trip to Seattle the Alas ka will call at Valdez, Cordova, Juneau, Petersburg and Ketchi- kan; the Denali at Seldovia, Homer, Kodiak, Sitka and Ket- chikan; the Aleutian at Juneau, Wrangell and Ketchikan; and the Baranof at Juneau and Ket- chikan.

Cabin Designs Con Be Seen At Kenoi Luke Ranger Sfo+ion

Prospective builders of cabins or residences on National Forest land can view a number of sug- gested designs just received at the officeo f Division Supervisor Max V. Roger, at Lawing, Mile "A on kenai Lake. Included with these designs are miscellaneous construction details. The sketch es were prepared by Linn For rest, architect in the Regional Forester's office in Juneau. New plans will be added from time to time to enlarge the variety.
 Supervisor Reger states that the designs are not elaborate and do not involve expensive con- struction. They were drawn, in fact, with the thought that in many cases the owner would want to do much of the work personally.
 The Forest Service is not of fering complete and detailed building plans such as would show every dimension and every step in construction, but only designs to assist the prospective builder in desiding on type of house to build. Any detailed plan wanted will have to be ob- tained from private architects, Roger stated.
