The teen-agers drum and bugle corps, which was re- gently started under the spon- sorship of the VFW auxiliary, will make its first public ap- pearance in the July 4th par ade, Mrs. Robert c. King, chairman of the project, said this week.

 Members of the auxiliary are making overseas caps and capes for the corps, and six drum majorettes will have professional uniforms in which to do their twirling.
 The corps, after it's debut next week, will be available for any public or school func- tions, Mrs. King said.
 Dolores Jones, high school student, is teaching the six majorettes, who will appear on a float in the parade next week.
 Mrs. Dixon has been the mainstay of the corps, !" Mrs. King said this week, and without her work we would

Kodiak residents, along with the rest of the American pe- ople, watched the Korean sit- uation this week with mixed emotions.
 Late Associated Press bull etins from Washington re- vealed that President Truman had authorized the use of A. merican ground troops in Korea. He earlier authorized the U. s. Airforce to fly speci- fic military missions to north ern Korea wherever it was deemed necessary.
 The local Navy and Army bases were placed on an alert basis as a precautionary meas ure, a navy spokesman said. l A rumor, as was to be expect ed, circulated town this week that the USS Funston was making its next trip to NOE

Afognak Boy Lost In Plane Crash

Karl Nielsen, IT, son of Mrs. Enola Mullan of Afognak and nephew of MT. and Mrs. Robert von Scheele, was one of 55 passengers lost when a Northwest Airlines plane crashed into Lake Michigan last Saturday, enroute from New York to Minneapolis.
 Nielsen was returning home after IS months at the Salesian High School, a Catholic school, in New Rochelle, N. Y.
 Cot Hayes, district traffic manager of NWA at Anchor age, flew to Kodiak Tuesday evening and with Father Louis B. Fink, s. J. went to Afog- nak Wednesday morning to personally notify Mrs. Mullan of the boys death. Hayes re- turned to Anchorage Wednes- day night.
 Neilsen, besides his mother, is survived by a brother Harry, now at Curry, Alaska a brother Mel, who lives here with MT. and Mrs. von Scheele, and two sisters Char lotte May and Lila, both out side.
 MT. and Mrs. von Scheele and Mel left Wednesday for Afognak, after word of KarPs death was verified here. The Saturday Anchorage Times re- ported a K. Nielsen of An chorage as among the missing passengers, but his identity was not certain until Hayes arrived here Tuesday evening.
 The air disaster was report ed as the worst in the coun- try's history by the Associated Press, which reported that parts of the wreckage were found on Lake Michigan near St. Joseph, Mich.

 There is no foundation for the rumor. The Funston is coming to Kodiak on a routine voyage and only the usual small number of passengers are scheduled to leave" the navy said.
 From New York, Adm. Forrest Sherman, chief of naval operations, buttoned up casual visiting" on all ships and shore installations, The AP advised.
 Normal visiting will be per- mitted at the discretion of the local base and area command CTS, the report said.
 Meanwhile, Governor Ernest Gruening flew to Anchorage Thursday to conferwi Lieut.. Gen. Nathan F. Twining of the Alaskan Command, on de- fense measures. The governor said plans will be laid in each community in Alaska to form ulate some sort of civil defense the Associated Press reported.
 In Fairbanks a system Of whistle blasts has been set up to warn residents in case of an emergency. No plans for black outs were made because of the round-the-clock daylight.
 Washington R)- President Truman has ordered a naval blockade of the entire Korean coast and has ordered General Douglas MacArthur to use certain supporting units in an effort to turn back the com munist invaders. The moves were announced after a cabi- nent-congressional conference at the white house.
 Gen. MacArthur has an army strength of 123,O00 men in his Pacific command includ- ing four infantry4s divisions. U. s. warships are smelling communist positions and fight CT planes, medium and heavy bombers of the Airforce have been on forays against north Korea airforce bases wherever they could find them.
 The Han river line is being thinly defended by Koreans pending the arrival in greater strength of American heavy weapons.
 The main barrier to a deep southward sweep by invading forces and armor at present. appears to be American planes.

The truth sometimes, is hard to

VETERANS MUST RENEW

railroads and other defense
adjuncts.
This is the second dire pre-.
diction for Alaska in the last ten
! days, and it has caused con-
siderable distress among people,
especially newcomers to the Ter
ritory. But it is nothing new to
us, we have been aware of the
situation for many years.
1t is hoped that Alaskans will
not allow themselves to become
frenzied, or upset by the hys-
terra that is evident in the rest of
the country.
We have perfect faith in Cen
eral Kepner, heading the Alaska
Command, and in his officers
and men. We can see for our
selves that all possible effort is
being used to construct highways
and defenses. SeWardites can see
that for themselves.
The average person admits
when questioned that there may
be danger in Alaska, but nine
out of ten, stoutly declare their
intention to remain and see it
through. they refuse to be STAN
peded by fear into a general
exodus to Stateside refuge. Most
people feel that for actual physi
cal safety we are better off in
Alaska than in a larger indust-
rial area.
For the few who are actually
disturbed and fear the future, no
one would persuade them to re-
main and live unhappily. For the
rest, let us not pull out and leave
all that we have built up with
out thoughtful planning.
The year 1851 will be a diff
cult one for Alaskans, and for
the world. If we can face it with
courage and determination, we
will not be licked, and the end
of the year will find Alaska still

to become hysterical, whose eyes
are open to all possibilities of
trouble, but, being used to adj
versity, are ready to meet that
trouble with strong resistance.

promote brotherhood.
But, 1 do not want to be cynical.
All of us, l repeat, are in favor of
brotherhood. If it were put to a
vote, guess it would register a
bigger majority than Truman got.
But. while I am in favor of
brotherhood. I am afraid that we
are not going to achieve it by ap-
pealing for brotherhood or even
preaching sermons about it. For
thousands of years. great religious
teachers all over the world of all
the faiths have urged brother
hood. but don't see that we have
gotten any nearer to it.
The mass murder of six million
Jews during the war shows that
from the standpoint of morality,
we have not advanced one iota
above the savage. Any one who
knows the facts will know that
the American Indian, for all of
his savagery, for all of his lack of
civilization, behaved officially at
least as we'll, and perhaps better,
than the white man.
If we are to make any progress
toward this thing we call brother
hood. am inclined to think. it
will come with the help of the
psychologist.
The. psychologists tell us to
bark back to our childhood days;
to examine our inhibitions. Tom
my and Dick are two children Of
Mrs. Jones. Tommy is her favor
tie. Dick does not get the affec-
ton he Graves. When he tries to
do something his parents shout
him down. He becomes inhibited.
He is repressed, he gets sullen,
balky. He begins to hate.
All inhibitions do not arise in
exactly this way. but any inhibit-
ed person is a natural sucker for
a hate wave.
If any religion has anything
practical to offer to bring about
brotherhood, I would say it is
is Chassidic Judaism. The Baal
Shem Tow really understood the
business. 1t is of the essence Of
Chassidism that the joyous man
does not hate. And so the Chas-
sidim preached the duty of JOY
and they also devised at least an
elementary apparatus for its
practical implementation.
1t was Benjamin Franklin who
said that when a man criticizes
another. what he is really trying
to do is praise himself. He would
like to praise himself, but society
frowns upon self flatterY. so he
resorts to the indirect method of
criticizing others.
Franklin thought we should lift
the social ban on praising our
selves. We should toot our own
horns more. think it would
make us freer and better people
and would advance the cause of
brotherhood.
Another thing about brother
hood that think must be stressed
is that brotherhood is not a uni
lateral sort of thing. What I mean
by that is that we tend to think
that we should appeal to the hat
ers to be nice and good and
brotherlY. That. it seems to me.
is the wrong approach.
