Pilot Rescued In Cascade Mountains

GLE BLUM, Wash. (P)-An am ateur Spokane pilot, his legs par tially frozen from the soles of his feet to above the knees, was snatched by helicopter Wednesday from a snow covered clearing in the Cascade mountains.
 The dramatic rescue, which it. self almost ended in disaster, end cd four days of desperate survival for Victor C. Roberts. The 29-year old flier had been missing since Sunday when his small plane crashed on frozen Lake Maptus during flight from Epharta to Seattle.
 Dr. F. J. Rogalski said at the Roslyn-Cle Eleum hospital that Roberts suffered also from frosted hands, severe shock and a possible back injury. There is a danger of pneumonia.
 Roberts was lifted to safety shortly after he was overtaken by two air force men-Lt. Wallace L. Boyd and Sgt. John L. Robbins. They parachuted into the area late Tuesday to follow the Stumb- ling trail which the hobbling man left in his efforts to reach Easton, small town on the east side of Snoqualmie Pass.
 Initial efforts to launch the Coast Guard helicopter failed when it mired in the deep snow blanketing the area. It took near ly half an hour to dig it free.

SAFE FROM ATOM BOMBS
Anchorage Daily Timesl

Alaska is of the safest spots the face of the globe ii atomic warfare should become reality.
 There is target in the Territory that would inter est the Russians in using of the precious A-bombs on it.
 This contention was corroborated last week by mis- Sionary from St. Lawrence Island who made headlines in the States when he declared that his station at Gam bel within sight of the Siberian Shoreline, safe from atom bombs.
 The same be said for all of Alaska The defense of the Territory is not problem of atom bombs. That problem cOnrOntS the huge industrial centerS of contn enta United States In Alaska the problem is of different nature.
 Atom bombs are not yet in mass production. Each one is made at tremendous cost They in short supply far wartime of them is concerned. They not be Squandered.
 If Russia should decide to launch atomic warfare, the few precious bombs available would have to be direct ed to the industrial centers of the nation Only by crp bling the economy of the nation would the Russians have any hope of winning a victory.
 The bombs would leave Russia for destinations such Detroit Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco and other cities where heavy industries located.
 Ii the warfare to start today, the bombs would be delivered by long-range bombers. However, if the is delayed for period of years there is every pros pect that the bombs would be delivered by guided mis- siles
 But no matter what means are used Alaska would be merely vast area between the launching facilities and the targets.
 The defense problem in Alaska is that of holding the Territory safe from the invasion that would probably accompany the first atomic bombs.
 Russia would want to grab Alaska and use it as base for operations Bombers taking off from airdromes in Alaska coull range freely over the great targets in the

 The first grade has been hit hard by the epidemic of flu and colds. Part of the time last week nearly half of each division was absent.
 Two boys from the first grades have been dropped from our roll due to the transfer of their fath- CTS. They are Richard Wagner and Winton Burkhardt.
 On WaShington's Birthday the two first grades invited their mothers to little program con- sisting of songs and poems learned in school. Although the weather was very disagreeable many mothers came.
 FIFTH GRADE
 Two new students entered re- cently-Vernon Carlson from Seward and Sondra Winters from Indianapolis.
 Tn arithmetic class much of our time has been spent in studying multiplication of mixed and whole numbers.
 We have been spending some time in a study of Alaska history in connection with our study of the United States.
 Our correspondence with school in Boston has proved very interesting. Many of the students have written interesting stories of their former European homes d their trips to the United States.
 HIGH SCHOOL
 This is the season of the year when the iceberk patrol sets out across the North Atlantic to warn ships about icebergs. Most of the icebergs in the Atlantic have bro- ken off from the glaciers of Greenland. Like fingers of ice, the glaciers extend into the sea. Some of the blocks of ice that break off are 800 feet square and 75 feet above water. Only one ninth of its mass appears above the water. It is bluish-green in color and has been nodded by the waves into fantastic castles. They are generally accompanied by fogs. Icebergs transport soil and debris from their original source to warmer climates and become deposited at the bottom of the sea when the iceberg melts. In the days of the windjammers, sailing vessels obtained fresh water from pools on the iceberg.
 On April l4, 1912, a British ship called the Titanic was set ting worlds speed record across the Atlantic. The ship struck one of these icebergs and it started to sink. The orchestra played "Nearer, My God, to Thee" until the waters closed in upon them. 1513 lives including men, women and children were lost. Since then, the ice patrol has guarded the ships at sea. Irene Gray has advanced in her typing ability and has received a fifty-word pin because of her achievement.

moisture in the air, the harder the
machinery must work.
Because production of electricity
must be geared to weather condi-
tions for reasons of economy,
Pepco planning engineers have
devised a system for estimating
tomorrow's expected load.
With the help of Weather Bu-
rerau forecasts and data accumu-
lated over the years, they have
been remarkable successful.
Recently they estimated the
three Pepco power plants should
generate 8.550.000 kilowatt-hours
the following day to meet all
needs. The actual requirements
proved to be s,556,00o kilowatt-
hours. a miscalculation of only

A heavy storm may increase

That means the equivalent of

on all over the storm area

of 10000 people.
AS, a storm approaches. the
Weather Bureau calls Pepco's

the power plants, which need
about an hour to get an auxiliary

Now that storms may be de-

Crime Investigators

Hyman ]. FiShbach, counsel for
the House District subcommittee
investigating crime, said today he
had heard nothing from the sub
committee to indicate "the slight
est dissatisfaction" with his work.
MIR. Fishbach, according to some
members of the House Accounts
subcommittee, was the target of
objections when the group con-
sidered a request for an additional
$4,000 to continue investigation.
The accounts subcommittee yes
terday voted the $4,000, but q
member said Chairman Stanley
had been directed to write the
crime investigating subcommittee
a letter about Mr.. Fischbach.
Mr.. Stanley denied that. He
said no resolution had been passed
telling him to communicate with
the crime subcommittee about
anybody it employs.
He added, however, that men,
bers of his subcommittee would
be glad to confer with the crime
investigators. though he did not
know any information they might
have about Mr.. Fischbach. He
said it had been decided this was
matter for the crime subcom-

FORT MILES, Del, July 1s.-
Anti-aircraft defense of the
Washington area was discussed
last night in a closed conference
between Army and top District
National Guard officers.
Conferees refused to discuss the
matter, but 1t was indicated that
officers of the 35th Anti-aircraft
Artillery Brigade, stationed at
Fort George G. Meade, briefed
District guardsmen on their as
signments in the event of an at
tack on the Capital.
The conference appeared to be
rather hurriedly called from Fort
Meade. District guardsmen were
told to send staff and battalion
gun officers Of the 260th Anti
aircraft Artillery group.
Conference planners apparently
agreed against the advisability of
presenting the information to bat
terry commanders at this stage.
In another development at the
summer camp here, Brig. Gen
William H. Abendroth. District
Guard commander, ordered a gen.
eral court-martial to try Pvt. Mel
win L. Harrington in connection
with a traffic accident in which
Thomas B. O'Toole of Whining

Each additional degree the tenn

1t takes that much extra Juice
to make the air-conditioned- con-

the heat and humidity that's going
on outside.
Time was when Potomac Elec-
trio Power Co.'S generators were
humming their merriest during
the winter months. But for the
past 10 years, on a constantly ris-
ing arc, more electricity has been
sold during the long daylight
months of June through Septem-
ber.
Humidity Brings Buying.
Pepco engineers say it's more
the humidity than the heat that
causes customers to buy IL million
more kilowatt-hours of electricity

95 degrees than they do at 70.

plane crashed into an Eastern Air
lines DC-4 in the approaches to
National Airport. Handling Of
traffic without a temporary head
quarters of any kind, handling of
emergency communications, flood
lights and some means of commu-
nicating with rescue workers out
in the river were prime problems,
the inspector said.
He also emphasized the value
of field headquarters in handling
such crowds as the Presidents
Cup Regatta, the Fourth of July
celebrations and the Cherry Bios
som Festival.
Although equipped to plug into
available electric, water and tele-
phone lines, the trailer will also
have a 7,500-watt generator,
towed by a separate truck for
use as emergency power.
Not minimized by Inspector
Raspberry was "the possibility
that something could happen to
existing headquarters when we
might have to head for some place
else"
The mobile headquarters trailer
he believes. can be the answer to
that problem, too.

Trade School Dispute
Remains Unsettled
Despite Two-HourT Talk

Differences within the Com
missioners' committee to investi-
gate private trade schools here
remained unresolved today after
a two-hour session between COM
mittee members and the city
heads.
DiSSension between members of
the committee-appointed last
July to investigate allegations that
veterans were being exploited by
trade schools-came into the open
last February.
At that time, Leon Chatelain,
jr., the chairman, submitted a re-
port to the Commissioners which
he said was signed by seven mem
bers. It was favorable to the
trade schools. The report was not
made public, since several men,
bers complained they had not seen
it nor been given a chance to
vote on it.
DISUdHUlHS As OFSCu.
Mr.. Chatelain said in a supple
mental report that the original
findings represented the views OF
a majority of members present at
the last meeting of the committee
at which it was decided a report
would be drafted. Many members
present at the District Building
today contended the committee
had accomplished nothing and
therefore should be disbanded.
John j. Corson, representing
Philip L. Graham, publisher of the
Washington Post. said he felt the
disagreement could better be de-
cided by group of persons who
had technical training, rather
than a citizens committee.
School Board Proposed.
Claude H. Woodward, director
|of the Better Business Bureau,
said he believed the job of in
veStigating complaints should go
to the Board of Education which
handles the approvals and dis
approvals of private trade schools
for training under the CT Bill of
Rights.
c. Melvin Sharpe, president of
the Board of Education, said he
stood behind his signature of the
report and DR.. Garnet C. Wilkin-
son. first assistant school superin-
tendent, said he felt the schools
were performing a needed service
to the community and provided
facilities that otherwise would not
be sufficient in the community
for training colored veterans.
The Commissioners took the
matter under advisement.
