munication was possible between
Fort Davis, Fort st. Michael and
Fort Gibbon, combined land
line and cable system running
a distance of COS miles.
The WAMCATS constituted, it
is believed, the worlds first
wireless telegraph system regu-
larly operated as part of tele-
graph system handling messages.
The circuit ran between Port
Safety and St. Michael across
Norton Sound. Certainly this
was the first point-to-point wire
less channel put in commercial
service on the American CONT
nent. Cable systems we're still
in demand, however, and an
other was laid in 1902 between
Juneau and Skagway, connect
ing lat Skagway with Canadian
lines, thence to the US.
Before the telegraph lines
were in operation, it took as
much as one year to receive a
reply from Washington to a
question asked at some of the
northernmost forts. w t h n
three years of the inception of
the project, Headquarters, De-
partment of Alaska at Fort St.
Michael was brought into direct
communication with the United
States over a telegraph circuit
approximately $500 miles in
length.
General Adolphus w. Greedy,
chief signal officer of the Army
at that time, reported on this
operation that the supply prob
lem alone was one to test the
ingenuity and resourcefulness OF
the hardest group of pioneers.
Practically all materials had to
be sledded into the interior in
the toughest imaginable trails,
or over primitive undeveloped
country, in the summer time.
From Fort Egbert alone between
November. 1902 and June, 1908,
a total of 22O tons or 100000
pounds of supplies and materials
were sledded or packed out onto
the line in the interior of Alaska.
On October 5, 1905, just five
years after the system was au-
thorized, station was estab-
lished at Seward. It's chief duty
was the maintenance of the
cable line, which is still to be
seen on the beach just west of
the City Dock. The first station
was set up in the Griffith house,

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Oct. 5.
Duke came out in the open at
1905 am. today. quite obviously
sadder and wiser dog.
For SO hours the 3-year-old fox
hound had been trapped in an
abandoned sewer.
The combined might of the city,
the County of Kent and the Mich
igan Consolidated Gas Co. finally
rescued Duke. Their heavy equip
ment moved more than 80 tons
of dirt in digging up the sewer.
Duke had an audience at he
finish. A crowd of 400 persons
was at hand as his master, John
De Young. picked him out of a
litter of broken tile and crumbling
earth.
The dog dashed into the sewer
Monday night in apparent pur-
suit of a raccoon. He was found
an eighth of mile from the spot
where he entered the sewer.
There wasn't any report on the

LONDON, Oct. 5.-British SCI
entists admitted puzzlement yes
terday over mysterious "radll
signals" from space.
They can't figure out the origin
of the sounds, which are being
received here daily. They produce
kissing noise and are visible
when passed through a cathode
ray tube. They are similar to ra-
dio-type signals known to emanate
from the stars.
But plotting of the mystery
signals-continuous and unintel-
ligible-indicates they are coming
from outer space where no major
stars are known to be.
There is no suggestion that the
signals are anything but natural
phenomena.

Aide Denies Reports
That Gen. Macarthur
Holds Treasure Chest
Dy me Asseeioted Press

TOKYO. May 25.-Gen. Mac
Arthur's chief of staff fatty de-
MED today that his boss has an
Oriental treasure chest.
Mai. Gen. e. M. Almond issued
one Of his rare statements after
a day-long study of Washington
reports that Gen. Macarthur
holds a key to a chest full of gold
and jewels.
Gen. Almond said there is no
similarity between occupation
headquarters holdings Of i'm
pounded property and the re-
ported chest.
He did not report how much
headquarters holds, and no other
source ever has announced it.
Earlier, lacking official COM
ment, it was assumed the "chest"
report was based on .impounded
property in the Bank of Japan.
At least its vaults hold untold
riches in precious gems and met
ais put there by Gen. Macarthur
occupation.
Maybe that's what former Sec
retary of War Robert P. Patterson
was talking about when he told
a House Interstate and Foreign
Commerce subcommittee of fab
ulous treasure chest to which Gen.
Macarthur had the key. A Wash
ington dispatch yesterday said the
House group had assigned an in
vestigator to get to the bottom of
the mystery.
Brig. Gen. John F. ConSlin, Gen.
MacArthur's civil property custo-
dian, declared:
Il know of no chest at all, no
key"
He is in charge of impounded
property. Some of the wealth in
the banks vaults was looted by
the Japanese during the war.
Some was Japanese property taken
under occupation custody.
Tt was learned reliably that Gen.
Almond reacted to the Washing
ton dispatch by issuing an order
that no one but himself should
give out anything but negative
information about the purported
treasure chest.
Mr.. Patterson's testimony, as
related by Congressman, was
that Gen. Macarthur has the
key to the chest and is awaiting
orders as to disposition of the
treasure.
The former War Secretary was
said to have described it as Jew
elry, precious items, gold and for
eign currency" He did not es-
innate the value.
There have been many esti-
mates made here but nothing Of
fetal.
In one transaction. however
some gold and gems were put up
as collateral for a loan under
which Japan purchased raw cot
ton. The value of these, pre-
sumably Japanese-owned. was
placed at something over $3.50
million.
That's probably only part of it
but enough to excite congress
sional curiosity.

Home Canning Resumes
On Near Wartime Scale

The upward surge of food prices,
reflecting troublous events in the
far east, finds housewives every
where mobilizing home canning bri-
gades reminiscent of World War II.
veterans of the last home front
stand are busting off their pressure
cookers and preparing to lay up rec
ord 'peacetime' supplies of fruits
and vegetables, says Mary Ann
March, chief home economist of Chi
cago Exec Products company.
Countless inquiries received by
our test kitchen about the new low
pressure method of cooking Indicate
a revival of home canning on a near
wartime scale" she says.
The low pressure cooker, develop
ed since the end of the world war,
permits more efficient canning of
fruits, berries and tomatoes than
was possible in the early 1905, be-
cause its ability to operate at a
pressure of only three and three
quarter pounds assures thorough
cooking without destruction of these
delicate foods.

Washington, D. C.-There can be
no doubt but that the foreign policy
Of the United States, as carried out
by the state department, toward
Latin and South America today has
brought about stronger ties Of
friendship than has ever before ex-
listed.
The dollar diplomacy of by-gone
eras has given away to the "good
neighbor" policy of former Secre-
tary of State Cordell Hull, and this
has been carried on and strength
ened by successive secretaries of
state Edward Stettinius. James
Byrnes. George c. Marshall and
Dean Acheson.
Through the Pan-American Union,
the inter-American affairs institute,
as result of non-aggression pacts
and economic pacts of Mexico City
and Rio de Janerio, Bogota and
Havana, there has come to be mu-
tual cooperation and respect be-
tween the American republics.
The bureau of inter-American af-
fairs in the state department is
headed by Edward G. Miller, Jr.,
born in Puerto Rico, graduate of
Yale and Harvard, a former law
partner of John Foster Dulles in
New York, and who speaks Spanish
and Portuguese as. easily as he
speaks English. In recent address,
Secretary Acheson said that as a
result of Miller'S operation of the
inter-American affairs bureau "our
relations with the southern hemi-
sphere are on a basis which think
they have never been before. They
are on sensible, sound basis of
mutual advantage, and both they
and we know that we both really
mean business when we talk and
when we talk we want to talk bust
ness"
The main object of our foreign
policy in the Americas is to main
tain the security of our nation and
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1950-10-20

of the hemisphere. Second our OBJ
jective is to encourage democratic
representative institutions and to
cooperate in the economic field. It
is our policy to strengthen the Or
ganization of the American states
within the framework of the United
Nations as the most effective ex-
preston of law and order in this
hemisphere.
OUR FOREIGN POLICY with re-
spect to Germany has been sty-
mied for the time because of the
Russian aggressive policy. But from
the first we have supported a uni
fled German government based on
free and democratic elections. It
is our policy to rebuild Germany
economically with the help of the
Germans themselves, but to keep
from them the potentials of making
war. AS an occupying power it is
our objective to prohibit institutions
and activities dangerous to peace
and to encourage a truly democrat
ic society which can become again
closely integrated with the free ma
tons of Europe.
In the near east, Africa and south
Asia our policy is to offer economic
and technical assistance if these
people want it. Also, we are ready,
if they want our aid to help them
solve their complex problems of in
ternal, political and social life
which such nations as India, PAX
istan, the East Indian Republic
and other newly formed nations in
that area face as a result of the
dislocation and disturbances fol-
lowing the war.
The foreign economic policy of
the United States is aimed at break
ing down barriers to world trade
and to increasing the international
flow of investment capital through
the reciprocal trade agreements
program, the proposed International
trade organization and the point
four program.
The Marshall plan, the North At
lantic pact, the military aid pro-
gram and the Truman doctrine in
Greece and Turkey have withered
Communist hopes for over-running
the European continent. Our sup
port of the so-called Schuman plan,
it is believed, will end their hope of
communizing western Germany.
It may have appeared that we
had neglected or abandoned Asia
and China, but as matter-of-fact,
negotiations had been going on for
some time with number of nations
for economic and technical assist
ance, particularly in the field of
agriculture, before the invasion of
Korea.
One of the things that has been
lacking in United States foreign
policy is an effective world informa-
ton service to successfully combat
the Russian propaganda of lies and
deceit.
