China Reds May Provide Army
For 3O-Yeor War by Russia

industrial North Korea would be
proportionately delayed.
Even If United Nations forces
succeed in winning all of Korea
up to the Yalu River. before win
ter makes the fighting more Bit
ter, they probably will be pinned
down there.
Use of the Chinese Communists
has eliminated the hope that Al
lied forces will be out of Korea
by Christmas. It is evident the
South Koreans by themselves
would be unable to provide ade-
quate defense. The Yalu River
may be inviolate now for the
United Nations powers. but the
Chinese have proved 1t is no bar
rier to them.
It seems unlikely the Chinese
will withdraw from Korea with
out being defeated or without con-
cluding a hard and favorable bar
gain.
Thousands of Asiatics doubtless
are convinced already that the
Chinese have capitalized on their
adventure. They have forced
from the United Nations what the
Orient probably will interpret as a
placating statement of reassur-
ance.
The Kremlin's last minute
squeeze play" seems likely to
draw the Korean campaign into
q ragged. uncertain conclusion.
The resulting calculated confusion
could be used to the fullest to
produce the economic unrest and
disillusionment on which the Com
munists feed.
Even more threatening, the
Kremlin has demonstrated it's
power over the vast hordes under
the Peiping regime. Each sub
sequent move in Asia now will
have to be measured against that
foreboding potential of cannon
| fodder.

 Several thousand more are re- ported lying in the hills," said Lee Joong Choon, chief of the muni- cipal public information section of Seoul. Many were dumped into rivers by the Reds"
 Lee said the city actually had buried only 375 bodies, some of them victims. Of the street-by- rect figh ing for Seoul.
 Another source, who declined to ba identified, said mass killings were not the work of North Ko- reans alone. He said the number C.: non-comhatants slain by both the communist police and South Korean soldiers probably would total several tens of thousands in all South Korea.
 (P) correspondent Stan ,Swinton reported from KunSan, west coast port, that a survivor told United Nations investigators 2,000 South Koreans were killed at Chongju. The investigators there are It.. Col. Benito N. Ebuen and Major D. Dionisio Ojeda, both of the Philippines.
 One source said 'people's courts" in Seoul were organized and in operation within 10 days after communist occupation of the capital June 28. He said political prisoners were tried" this way:
 The prisoners were marched to the balcony of the Peoples Thea ter building. The charges were read and the crowd below was asked: Guilty or not guilty?"
 He said executions followed in- variably.

Whale Nearly Catches Plane Of Nat Brown

FAIRBANKS, (P)-Nat Brown, former bush pilot from the interi- or, today brought back a whale of a tale from St. Lawrence island where he has been working this summer.
 Brown said he and his wife were returning to Nome when they spotted a whale and landed their ploat plane on the water close enough to gett some good pictures.
 They were discoursing on the length of the mammal, "a sizable hunk of flesh in any mans lan- guage," when they suddenly felt movement on the other side of the plane
 It was another whale. Brown swiftly taxied the aircraft between the two, hitting the air just as the second beast fipped it's tail. When they glanced back from a cozy dis tance the pair discovered that they had been sitting ''like fig ments of an Eskimo hunters dream" practically in the middle of very large and potentially ac- tive, school of whales.

Frank Nash, Of
 A. R. C. Retires

sl U U
 The Alaska Road Commission announces with regret the impend- ing retirement of MT. Frank Nash, District Engineer, Alaska Road Commission, Fairbanks.
 MT. Nash is one of the oldest employees in point of service of the Alaska Road Commission. He has had over thirty-one years of Federal Service and entered the employment of the Alaska Road Commission on June 1, 1924. He was employed as surveyor, fore man, and engineer until July 1, 1929, when he was appointed Act ing Superintendent of the Fair banks District. On January 1, 1880, he was promoted to the po- sition of Superintendent of the Fairbanks District Qater changed to District Engineer and he has served in that position continuous ly for over twenty years until the present time.
 During the early period of MT. Nash's service with the Alaska Road Commission, Fairbanks was a pioneer community and the dog team for the only way of travel when the winter snoWs had cov- cred the country. MT. Nash was an outstanding expert with dog team transportation and made many long and arduous journeys by this means for the Alaska Road Commission, exploring the Yukon and Panama River basins before they were opened up by roads. He was familiar with Beaver, Fort Yukon, Circle, Eagle, the Forty Mile, and the Upper Panama River long before the Steese Highway and the Alaska Highway were conceived. Later MT. Nash was in timately concerned with the con- struction of roads into all these re- gions and their improvement to the present high standard. He also was deeply concerned with the de- velopment of roads in outlying To- calities such as Hot Springs, Ruby, Wiseman, and many other places. His work was of a very high cali Der, and he has been recommend ed for the MeritoriouS Service Award of the department of the interior in recognition of his long and excellent service.
 MT. Nash is one of Alaska's out standing citizens. He has been active in the work of the Rotary Club and the American Legion and has served as Department Commander and Alternate EXecu- tive Committeeman of Alaska for the American Legion. His retire ment will take effect about No vember 25, 1850, after the com pletion of field operations of the Alaska Road Commission for the working season of this year.

WHAT YOU DO TO WIN

Here's how you take part in this big opportunity. Every issue this newspaper will publish Alaskagrams in consecutive order, six each week for 12 weeks-a total of 72 Alaska grams.
 Each Alaskagram is a group of scrambled letters which form mean ingless words o. nOnsensical phrase. After an Alasakgram is unscrambled the letters form the name of a place in Alaska; how ever, there is one superfluous letter an extra, additional letter which is not needed to form the word.
 All you do is re-arrange the let ters to form a single word which is the name of a place in Alaska, and you also show which is the extra letter. For example, the phrase FOR A CHANGE" when it is un- scrambled equals ANCHORAGE" plus the extra letter F.
 Just remember that all place. names consist of only one word and remember to show the extra letter. There is only one correct answer to each Alaskagram.
