youth into West Berlin, but the
total now has passed the 680,0O0I

math of Sundays giant parade,
the Soviet zone boys and girls
stormed over to get away from
regimentation and see something
different. West Berlin clocked
107,779 who checked in at youth
hostels and other installations set
up to feed and entertain them.
Literature Avidly Read.
In the past fortnight the Allies
and West Germans have distrib-
uted to the Communist youths
almost million pieces of litera-
ture. They said the Eastern boys
and girls were avid for something
new to read. None of the litera-
ture was tossed away and many
of the kids inserted the reading
matter inside the lining of their
clothing to smuggle it back.
West officials estimate the Com
munistS will have spent upwards
of $40 million on their show by
the end of this week. Neverthe-
less the arrangements have been
found faulty and hundreds of
thousands of the East German
youth discovered the food, the
entertainment and the general
welcome in the West were far bet
ter.

agencies and channels are spend

Soviet zoners how life is on this

British Force Cut OFF.
The Commonwealth forces al
ready were cut off to the south
save for the Americans bridge,
and at its location the Imjin was
at an all-time flood stage of %
feet.
The approaches had been inun-
dated long ago and the bridge was
impossible when the engineers
decided. about 4:30 am. August 5,
to cut it loose from the western
shore. They hoped it would swing
to the other bank and hold there
until it could be rebuilt when the
water went down.
But at 4:58, just as they were
about to cut the west cables, the
river did it for them. There was
a splintering crash, the steel
cables snapped and the hundred
yard-long bridge swung away and
then held against the east bank.
That it held at even one end
was one of two pieces of luck in
the whole five-day operation-for
it meant reconstruction could be
hastened.
The other piece of luck was that
the ChineSe-for some reason-did
not counterattack. For from that
moment until 3:55 pm. yesterday
there was no bridge between the
task force and the U. N. Army.

Meanwhile, the rain continued
to fall. Foot soldiers, soaked,
found themselves living in swamps

Americans were better off for food

On August 6 the Imjin started
subsiding. Yesterday, while the
water still was running fast and
high, the engineers got their bridge

Cook Inlet Season

director of the Fish and Wild

"The paramount objective
of the FWS during the critical

to achieve adequate escape

grounds" Day declared.
A great increase in fishermen
and gear, especially gillnets,
has been evident in the Cop

Fishing Season
Less At COrdOva

An additional "a hours of
closed fishing time will be in
voked each week for the re-
mainder of the king and red
salmon gillnet seasons on the
Copper and Bering Rivers.
The total weekly closure of
u hours in effect when the
season opened on May l is
now increased to 96 hours,
fishing being permitted only
from 6 am Monday to 6 pm
Tuesday and from 6 pm
Thursday to 6 am Saturday
from now until June 20.
This drastic reduction is
made necessary by the
phenomenal increase in
amount of fishing gear being
employed on the Copper River
during the current season.
Fish and Wildlife repre-
sentatives believe there is
grave danger of permanent
damage to and perhaps the
virtual destruction of the
Copper River salmon unless
there are sufficient periods of
complete fishing closure so
adequate spawning escape
ments can be achieved.

Rats Threaten Health
Of Entire Town

Wells disease is contained in
the blood and urine of patients
and the feces and urine Of
rats, Westbrook states. :. He-
mans usually acquire the iE-
lection from taking food or
water contaminated by the ex-
creta of infected rats, fro,a
bathing in contaminated water
or by handling infected rats
Infection may enter through
abraded or unbroken skin.
The survey made in Kodiak
shows that the diseases are
found in two specific areas, at
cording to the sanitation re-
port: Mission and Taglara
roads from the KEA plant to
Mission Road at a point east
to the small boat yard, and
Brooklyn Avenue in an area
west of the school.
Responsible for the rat in
festation of the city are the
prevalence of wood structures
improper storage of garbage,
discarded articles and piles Of
unused lumber and debris,
careless dumping of garbage
along the waterfront, absence
of protective devices on ships
and boats at docks. and opel
sewer lines emptying abov
low tide.
Failure to remedy these coz
ditions, Westbrook adds, can
bring further disease: typhse
fever, plague, food infection,
rat bite fever, and trich;nosis,
From an economic stanc
point, rats destroy property
food and cause fires. For these
reasons, it is essential that
rats be controlled in Kodiak,
he writes.
A number of recommends
tions for cleaning up the city
and Kidding it of rats are listed
by Westbrook.
He suggests a combination
of trapping and use of poison
bait on a town. wide program;
up of alleys. yards,
vacant lots and streams; stop
page of the practice of dump
ing garbage along the beach,
and storage of garbage in
tightly covered containers OF
racks above the ground.
He also urges the discarding
of the present city dump and
location of a new one further
east on Mission Road.
"The city of Kodiak should
adopt and enforce an ordin-
ance regulating the construc-
ton of all new structures with
relation to rat proofing OF
buildings" he also recon-
mends.
