Washington News Letter
 Bv Mary Lee Council


 By Mary Lee Council
 Secretary to E. L. Bob) Bartlett Delegate in Congress from Alaska Indian Hospital Services
 Legislation designed to provide the maximum use of hospitals ad- ministered by the Bureau of In- dian Affairs by making h e m available to non-Indians in areas where there are no other hospital facilities and where they are not being fully utilized by the Indians was reported favorably to tn e House this week.
 Similar legislation was passed by the House in 1949 but the Sen ate failed to take action on the measure.
 The fees collected from the non- Indians would be deposited in the Treasury of the United States to the credit of the appropriation from which the hospitalization or medical services are provided.
 In reporting the bill to t h e House, the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs stated that the enactment of the measure "would reduce the net cost to the govern ment of maintaining Indian hos pitals and would provide badly needed sedvice to the Indian population in isolated areas served only by Indian hospitals. It also would result in better medical care for the Indians, since the limited number of Indian patients is not conducive to obtaining the best doctors"

KOtzebue News

Mir. and Mrs. Albert I. Reed and son, Gerald, have just re- turned from boat trip 200 miles up the Noatak River, getting into the foothills of the Brooks Range before turning back due to fuel shortage. MT. Reed says he be- lieves they could have gone an- other 100 miles up the river by boat had they had sufficient fuel.
 MT. Reed has been with the AL aska Native Service for the past eight years, his first station being KokrineS, on the Yukon. From there the Reeds went to Hooper Bay, where Mrs. Reed was field nurse. They then transferred to St. Lawrence Island, where they stayed for three years. At the end of that period, Mrs. Reed resigned her nursing work due to ill health, and the family moved to Kotzebue, where MT. Reed was principal of the Kotzebue Native School for two years. For the past year MT. Reed has acted as principal for the Alaska Native Service School at Noatak.
 Mir. and Mrs. Reed and Gerald are going to the States where MT. Reed will go into lecture work. His first assignments will be in Ore gon, then in California. From there they will tour the middle western states, filling engage mentS. In October the Reeds will go to Florida for speaking assign ments. They expect to eventually include the Hawaiian Islands in their itineraries.
 Some of MT. Reeds black and white pictures of St. Lawrence Island natives are being used in visual education work in the Berk- ley Public School system. The April, 1850, issue of the Juneau Red Cross Magazine carried three pages of his St. Lawrence pie lures. In addition to the black and white pictures, MT. Reed has a large collection of slides and movies which will be used in his work.
 MT. Amundson of Nome brought MT. and Mrs. Hamilton and chil- dren of Unalakleet into Kotzebue recently, where they were house. guests of MT. and Mrs. Delos Westbrook for several days before continuing their juorney to Bar row in MT. Amundson's Stinson.

U. 5. Must Be Ready
To Challenge Soviet,
Duff Tells AMVETS
By the Asseeiutsd Press

BOSTON, Sept. l. - Senator
Duff, Republican of Pennsylvania
said tonight the United States
must be strong enough to move
in on Russia the first time she
makes another aggressive move
anywhere"
In bliStering attack on the
Soviet, Senator Duff told the sew
enth annual AMVETS national
convention:
Terrible as the prospect of war
Is, the time has come when we
can no longer permit ourselves to
be bully-ragged. bamboozled and
lied about by the takers in the
Kremlin and their stooges.
Cites Soviet Lies.
Nobody but a fool" he added,
would imagine that we can pre-
vent war if We permit the Russians
to escape unchallenged with the
false propaganda that the United
States is for war and that they
are for peace when every informed
person knows that the exact op-
posite is the fact"
While Russia has faxed and
falsified it's interest in other
people" he said, the generous
American people have given more
than $50 billion in foreign aid
during and since World War II.
"Yet the representatives of the
sWindling group in the Kremlin
have the audacity to send Deputy
Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko
one of their chief swindlers-to
the United States to again perpe-
trate falsity, perfidy and crooked
ness"
AsSails Oats Conviction.
Senator Duff said that Asso-
ciated Press Correspondent Will
liam Oats was arrested and
thrown into jail for 10 years in
CzechoSlovakia-one of Stalin's
Red satellites-for reporting facts.
And yet this Gromyko, repre-
senting those same evil men in the
Kremlin, is here to defame the
United States right in the face of
our people" Senator Duff de-
clared.
For Gromyko to have the
audacity to come to America and
insult our people when an Ameri-
can citizen is in Jail in one of
Stains stooge countries merely
because he was telling the truth, :"
Senator Duff said, lis the kind of
thing that ought to awaken the
American people to the fact that
they are dealing with the biggest
group of takers and bandits ever
organized for the purpose of inter-
ma tional crime"
Although the United States ad-
vanced $1O,776,O 100000 in lend

miles away, in the wake of the
mysterious courthouse fire.
Political feuds here, old
timers say, can be traced to
the controversy over whether
Port Tobacco or La Plata would
be the seat of Charles County.
The Wade-Hyde dispute goes
back some 80 years.
Mr.. Hyde's father, the late
Louis M. Hyde, used to work on
the Port Tobacco Times, estab-
lished in 1874. When the little
town grew smaller, the Times
was bought by the Crescent at
La Plata in 1893, and the paper
is now the Times-C Crescent.
Louis Hyde. who died three
years ago, worked there until
he was over 30.
Mr.. Hyde, owner OF a job
printing plant at La Plata. is
now repairing the old family
place. The room being readied
for the post Office, Mr.. Hyde
said, was always called the
storm" room, although he
never knew why. 1t has an
outer door, and its windows
command two-way view of the
historic valley.

along with a shipment of
serviceable hatchets, the slast
item purchased by her husband.
Kids were using plenty of
slate pencils when Mrs. Wade
arrived from her native Kent
Island. on the Eastern Shore of
Maryland, to teach school. She
was only a girl then, but she
had eight grades under her.
The new school marin stood
only 4 feet IL inches. Old
timers recall, however, that she
had way with reluctant schol-
ars. In 1910 she married Mr..
Wade, and the next year they
opened a general merchandise
store in the old building.
Counters From England.
In it the young couple in
stalled solid walnut store count
ers imported from England when
Port Tobacco was a center of
wealth and culture in the Co
lonial period. The stock was
larger then than it is now. Mrs.
Wade conceded.
Mrs. Wade had been post
mistress for 20 years. Her ap-
pointment came under a Re-
publican administration.
II didn't ask them for the
job, they came to me-" she said.
MY husband said I could have
the rent the Government paid
as well as the salary. A woman
needs her own spending money
especially with growing kids"
Through the years, the thick.
heart-pine door sill has worn
almost through. but Mrs. Wade
can no more replace it than the
antique lock and key handed
down from her husbands family.
This store" Mrs. Wade
grinned. sis one of the hardest
to unlock and the easiest to
enter I ever saw" In recent
years. she explained, petty
thieves have been coming in
through the windows. but they
leave the door alone.
Customers include families
from the handsome country
estates on the wooded slopes Of
the valley and a number of re-
tired military men. as well as
the ever-present field hands and
their numerous offspring.
Sociable Service, Too.
While the post Office job
didn't pay much-about 81 $50 a
year. plus $500 remit brought
in people who otherwist might
trade elsewhere.
It's sociable service, too.
Mrs. Wade dealt across the
counter with her postal custo-
mers because she never likes to
climb on a box to look through
the window of the stall.
1T was designed for men folk.

Being around people helps
Mrs. Wade remember not to feel
sorry for herself.
THE other day was in WASH
ington walking down F street
and feeling pretty low," she
said. Then I saw very tall
thin lady walking toward me.
Her mouth was dropped so far
down, I said to myself:
oh. Lord. do I look like
that?' Then I just had to grin,
but I said a little prayer for that
lady anyhow I hope she

Senator Duff cited "the con-
tinued fakery of the Reds in Ko-
rea with reference to the cease
fire. as merely another proof
that no dependence can be put
upon what they say"
Every one of those Korean
deaths, Senator Duff added, "is di-

due me for humili-
alton and my lawyers are at work
now figuring out the price Of
shame. What happened at Lam
ham was that it occurred to Mr..
Strong that he ought to tool that
MIG around the track during an
intermission in the regular motor
mayhem conducted there. It also
seemed a good idea to him at the
time that I should go with him.
Well, the premises were cleared,
ambulances were alerted, Strong
wheeled the MIG out on the oval
and one thing became immedi-
ately apparent to some 5000
spectators. Jerry Strong is never
going to win the Memorial Day
classic at indianapolis, not even
if they tie him to a rocket and
shoot him out Of q gun.
That MIG not only sounds like
it wants to go fast, it looks like
it wants to go fast. There were
jeers mixed with the cheers as
we rolled sedately down the back
stretch and rude cries Of cit it

embarrassment. He tromped a
little and then untromped as the
turn doomed. Your Aunt Emma
in the old electric never ap-
preached a curve with more sus-
picion. Mr.. Strong tried to ex-
plain that he wasn't. accustomed
to those banked turns and the
MIG kept pulling away from him.
It probably was, at that. The
poor. Inundated thing wanted to
sneak behind the grandstand and
hang Its head in shame. It, too.
It can be pointed out, of course,
that I could have obtained this
news about Jerry Strong by call
ing WMAL and asking If there
were any truth to the rumor that
he was leaving WINK for the

Get Out and
Get heN News
By Harry Macarthur

Dear Boss:
Since you do not approve Of col
umnists who sit around the Office
waiting for news to come to them
! am sure you viii agree that this
trip to the West Lanham Speed
way the other night was in line Of
duty.
It was conducted by Jerry
Strong. a man who remains in the
radio and television dodge around
here by stealing dialogue from his
French poodle, which has better
sense than to go into radio and
television on its own.
There was some purpose behind
Mr.. Strong's visit to the modified
stock car recess. but 1t never was
made quite clear. The audience
out there. however. became the
first to hear, via the public address
system, the latest news Of Mr..
Strong, which is news here today
only because I went to the speed
way.
Mr.. Strong, after all those years
as the WINK morning man. has
departed there and no longer will
rise at S am. to sell his hot dogs.
He is moving to WMAL and next
month will start a daily afternoon
program. The future also should
find him busy in one Of those
handsome studios of WMAL-TV.
Both Mr.. Strong and WMAL seem
to be happy about the whole thing
This trip to West Lanham to get
the news was made, for some
bizarre publicity purpose. in an
MIG, q device invented by the
British which somewhat resembles
the American automobile. Only
somewhat, though. It is a sort OF
double motorcycle. It has a wheel
at each corner and consists prin-
|cipally of a couple of ground
dragging seats attached to an
engine which snarls at those big,
fat, bloated automobiles as it
sneaks by.
1t is a sweet piece of machinery
and enough fun to take the place
of baseball.
The point I am getting around
to, II 1t kills me. Is that such
a cross-country journey In search
Of the news entails certain Incl
