as the most northern weather sta- ton in the world.
 Much of Russia's research and settlement in the Far North has been done by slave labor and slave brains. Physicians profes- sors, engineers, physicists mathe- maticians, agronomists, biologists, and other intellectuals were among the first political exiles sent to Siberia. Most of Stalin's slave labor camps, believed to hold 6,oo0,000 prisoners, are in Siberia.
 Alaska, first claimed by Russia by right to discovery in l73O and first settled by Russian colony on Kodiak Island in 1784, was sold by Russia to the United States in 1867 for $7,20O,0OO. The 1860 census had shown only 576 Russian men and POS Russian women in Alaska, and the main tenance of the sparsely settled territory was an expense to Rus sia in peace and a menace in war.
 Moscow propaganda recently has begun to plug the line that Russia was robbed. Soviet writers in the Literary Gazette, Moscow, this year, asserted in a long ar ticle about Alaska that it is being prepared by the United States as springboard for aggression against Russia.
 Citizens of Irkutsk, in Siberia, will observe the 155th anniver- sary this year of the death of Gregory Shelikhov, founder of the first Russian settlement in Alaska with unusual interest.
 The Chinese Nationalist gov ernment in Formosa charged a few weeks ago that Russia and Communist China are preparing to attack Alaska by moving troops ito eastern Siberia.

Explaining that he did not for

evidence proving perjury by the
woman who charged MCGEE with
"rape" was also true.
