GIRL SCOUT PROGRAM IN THE'VALLEY SERVES TOO LOCAL CHILDREN

(The fifth in a series of arti-
 cles explaining, the functions of
 the various agencies benefitting
 from Community Chest funds
 in the Matanuska ValleyD
 Girl Scouting in Palmer has grown from a single troop. or ganized in the spring of 1949, to four troops now in existence. In addition, there are five troops waiting to be organized this fall. In all, there are about 100 girls in the Valley, ranging from ages seven to 16 years, participating in the Girl Scout program.
 This growth in Scouting has been made possible through the aid of the Anchorage Girl Scout Council, of which Palmer is a member. The Anchorage Council employs a full-time professional worker, whose help is available to Palmer leaders.
 This professional leader already has given Is hours of training ses- sions to eight leaders in Palmer. She will conduct a series of addi- tional training classes this fall, for leaders of the proposed five new troops
 In addition to these special training sessions, the Anchorage Council workshop is open to Pal mer leaders. Here special classes are given in folk dancing, sing ing, psychology and the like.
 Palmer's original Girl Scout troop, Troop No. II, is led by Mrs. Robert Busby. Troop Il meets in the United Protestant Church and in the school Gymnasium on Fri day afternoons. Its membership is made up of very enthusiastic group of older girls.
 Their program for the year has included folk dancing, hiking, camping, first-aid training and community projects. Among those projects, Scouts of Troop II have helped the local public health nurse, made 40 posters for the current Community Chest drive and made overseas school bags.
 Intermediate Troop No. 27. led by Mrs. Carlos Driggars and Mrs. Richard Thompson, meets in the Church of God basement on Fri

day afternoons.
 Their program last year includ- ed hikes, cook-outs, and com munity projects. This latter item included cleaning the library, helping the American Legion Auxiliary with the annual poppy sale, and making overseas school bags.
 The former Brownie Troop No. 26 is to be divided into a Brownie Troop and an Intermediate Troop. These troops, together with the Brownie troops to be organized among second and third grade girls, are awaiting more volunteer leaders. Two additional leaders also are needed for intermediate Girl Scout work.
 Although the Valley has 100 girls interested in the Scouting
Valley frontiersman., 1950-10-13

program and all of Anchorage has only $50, the Anchorage Council has requested only $20O from the Valley to help meet the $8,95O budget for this year. Yet without the aid of that Anchor age office, the Girl Scout pro- gram could not be carried on in the Valley.
 A contribution to the Valleys Community Chest, which is now soliciting contributions for its 1950-'51 program, will help fur ther the Girl Scout program Tn the Valley.

ROCKVILLE CENTRE, N. Y, (P)-A crowded Long Island rail road commuter train sped through a stop signal Friday night and rip ped headon into antoher passen- ger train, killing 29 persons and injuring 100. Many of the injured were in critical condition.
 It was metropolitan New York's worst railroad disaster, and the worst in the nation in four years.
 The accident occurred on a makeShift siding where a temper ary gauntlet" track was laid peiding completion of grade crossing project. The gauntlet con- sists of double tracks placed so close together only one train at a time can pass over the roadbed.

 "He ran past the signal" Mas sau county district attorney Frank Gulotta said.
 Motorman T. w. Markin of the westbound train was too dazed to be questioned. He was sent home suffering from shock.
 The head cars of both electric trains were torn apart by the col lision, which occurred at 10:35 pm. The forward car of the east bound train, loaded with early going theater crowds from Manhattan, was sheared down the middle. It toppled over, spew- ing mangled bodies and wreck

Foster Wants To Know Who Intimi- dated Natives

JUNEAU, (P)-Don C. Foster, area director of the Alaska Native Service wants to know what ANS employee, if any, threatened na- tives at Shungnak and Kobuk with loss of services and rights if they fail to vote to live on reser- VationS.
 Foster said here Saturday night he wants to know the name of any employees guilty of the alleged in timidation and also the names of natives supposedly intimidated.
 His request for information was in reply to charges made by Ter ritorial Representative William E. Beltz of Nome. Beltz charged last week that natives of the two towns had been told they would lose pensions and school funds if the reservation plan failed to pass.
 The plan, suggested by the inte- riOr department, is to be voted on April "A in the two towns. It al ready has been rejected at Bar row.
 Foster said he talked with Beltz in Nome on Feb. and "at no time during our 30 minute talk did he intimate in any way he had any knowledge of any attempted intimidation os EskimOs by ANS employees.
 Foster sad Harvey Starling, an ANS employee recently had wis ited Shungnak and Kobuk and specifically told the people in a general meeting that no matter which way they voted services would not be affected.
 Foster pointed out that the serv- ice has no control over welfare grants and aid to dependent chil- dren. That is under the Territorial department of public welfare, he said. The Service does at times supplement Territory grants when the welfare department has in- adequate funds and asks for help, Foster added.

 The residents of those two vii lageS are scheduled to vote April A on the proposal by former ir- terior secretary Julius Krug.
 Earlier this week, interior sec retary Chapman asked the Senate interior committee to look into charges that Eskimoes and Indi- ans had been intimidated. Com mittee chairman Joseph O'Ma- honey D .WvoO said the commit tee probably would act after con ferrinC with Delegate Bartlett O. Alaska.

(By The ASSOclaleu FreSS
 American business man Robert A. Vogeler today said in a Hun garian court he was guilty of spy ing and sabotage.
 In the same Budapest court where Josef Cardinal Mindszenty and scores of others confessed anti-State activities, Vogeler said he was an American agent gath ering information on Hungary's vital secrets.
 "I used my business activities only as a cover for my espionage york;" he said in calm voice. "I am sorry for the detrimental deeds I committed against this country and I ask for a mild sen tence."
 Vogeler, an assistant vice-preSi- dent and European representative of the International Telephone and Telegraph Co.,, was arrested last November and held incom- muniCado.
 In Vienna, his wife said, My husband is merely repeating from memory a lot of lies that have been pounded into him for the last three months
 Hungary denied him the serv- ices of an American lawyer to conduct his defense. The U. s. State Department said the Hun garian government decided in ad- vance of the trial to convict the American. A formal statement raised the question whether he had been subjected to coercion by intimidation, lack of food, drugging or other forms of mis- treatment"
 In the grim court drama yester- day a British executive of the company and two Hungarian na- tionals confessed to being accom- pliceS of Vogeler.
 Vogeler said he had been in structed by American Intelligence to help atom physicists escape from Hungary. He said he had been ordered to dig up special in- formation on radar production, rockets, uranium and oil deposits.
 The British election campaign roared into a climax. Conserva- tive leader Winston Churchill again called for high level talks between the West and Russia to end an atomic arms race. He snap ped back at foreign secretary Err nest Bevin who charged the pro pOsal of a netting with Russia was only a political stunt.
 "Why should it be wrong," Churchill asked his radio audi ence, 'for the British nation to think about the supreme question of life and death perhaps for the whole world at time when there is a general election"
 Prime Minister Clemente Att lee, whose Labor party predicts victory on its program of planned economy and full employment, will answer Churchill in a na- tionwide broadcast tonight. The election is next Thursday.
