Russian Sergeant

Russian army sergeant who de-

Soviet soldiers in Austria used to

America until their officers fixed
their radios so they could only
get Moscow.
The SOLDIER, -Vadim Baykhin

Soviet 95th Guards rife division
in Austria on December 80. To-
day the British permitted the
young soldier to tell his story to
the Western press.
Demidovitsch said he and his
buddies covered their radios with
boxes so they couldn't be heard
outside and listened to the West
|ern broadcasts. But then the of
ficers fixed that by setting the
radios exclusively to the Kremlin
beam.
The soldier said he had served
outside Russia for three years but
had not gotten any leave. He said
more Soviet soldiers would desert.

UNIT Backers 10 0pen
Fight tuesday 10 Put
Program Into Effect
By George Beveridae

Capitol Hill testimony this week
by a parade of high-ranking ci-
william and military proponents of
universal military training will
open the controversial fight to
write a UNIT program firmly on
the statute books. 4
Chairman Vinson of the House
Armed Services Committee has
called members Of the National
Security Training Commission to
testify Tuesday as the first wit
nesses.
The hearings specifically will
deal with recommendations made
by the White House commission,
which relate mainly to legal pro-
visions for the training program.
Congress must approve these
provisions, in some form, in order
for the program to be effective.
II Congress takes such action, the
way would be paved for either
Congress or the President to begin
UNIT inductions for 18-year- olds
at some future date.
During House and Senate hear
ings on the proposals, however,
the basic controversy over UNIT.
is expected to flare up again. One
key factor in the debate is ex-
pected to revolve around when
UNIT could begin. Several pro-
posals-including one by Chair
man Vinson-already have been
put forth for a limited UNIT start
in the immediate future. z
The commissions five members,
starting Tuesday. will each outline
for the House committee a seq
ment Of the lengthy report filed
with Congress by the group last
October 20.
James w. Wadsworth, former
Republican member Of the House
and Senate from New York, COM
mission chairman. will lead off
the testimony with q general
statement. The members to fol-
low. and their subjects, will be:
William L. Clayton, UNIT as
related to military and foreign
policies; 1t. Gen. Raymond S. Nc
Lain. details of the proposed train
Ing program; Admiral Thomas c.
Kinkaid, duties and responsible
ties Of the trainees, and DR.. Karl
T. Compton, UNIT as related to
the welfare Of the trainee.
Testimony to Be Limited.
After testimony of the commits
sion members, which probably will
end Wednesday. the committee
will hear Defense Secretary Lovett
and members of the Joint Chiefs
Of Staff.
About Is additional witnesses,
representing various organizations.
will be scheduled for later hear
ings, committee aides said. Efforts
will be made, they said, to restrict
testimony of these witnesses-in-
cluding many opposed to UNTO

proposed by the commission.
In a discussion of Army man

tary Pace said yesterday that the

A MODEL WIFE

For year and day,
And when he returned she was

There was not a blemish on her

She's shield from wolves and

Which girls meet in the parks,

The Airmen's Reason
The airmen had an equally
practical reason for digging in
here. Giant glaciers of past ages
carved a wide. level breach
through Greenland's granite
coastal range--a plateau that
could not be made by twice
10000 bulldozers and earth
scrapers. BY this geologic CO.
incidence. the outposts of two
civilizations as divergent as the
poles themselves are located
within sight and sound Of each
other.
When the wind Is right, the
shrill yelping of Umanaq's sled
dogs can be heard above the
muted thunder of earth movers.
Equally weird are the whistles
and vapor trails Of jets over a
village some 10000 years be-
hind the times.

GIs whose native curiosity is as
strong as their urge to collect
souvenirs.
Rore Visit
In view Of this Greenland
wide ruling, visiting Danish and
American reporters had rare
opportunity to enter the native
village under guidance Of au-
thorities who have enforced the
separation between the two
races for years.
Our Coast Guard launch ap-
preached Umanaq in the mild
chill of a mid-September morn
ing. Icebergs doated like clouds
across misty North Star Bay to
their "calving grounds" at the
edge Of glaciers winding down
from the mountains on the far
shore.
Sea birds swooped down for
fish from perches on the slopes
Of a berg which resembled
nothing so much as a couple of
billion scoops of lime sherbert.
Such hunks of ice, floating
ashore at Umanaq, or freezing
in there, insure the villagers a
fresh-water supply the year
around.
The yelping dogs Of the viii
lage welcomed us from the rocky
shore-husky, curly-tailed de-
scendantS of the sled teams
which accompanied Peary to
the North Pole in 1909.
Dogs Of Mony CoIors
The dogs have many color
variations, from white to brown,
and some run to yellow eyes as
ominous as their fangs, but all
here are true-bred since the
winters in ages past when the
first ESkimoS drove their teams

The dogs earn their keep. In
addition to pulling sleds or car
rying packs. they track down
polar bears and bring them to
bay until the hunters can get
within accurate rife range. The
puppies are the pets. and often
the victims. Of the village kids

Umanaq. with its population
Of up to 300, Is unique in sew

being farthest north, the village
probably is the only remaining

have departed so little from
their ancient culture.

along with walruses and two
kinds of foxes-the large white
fox and a smaller blue variety.
Too, the inhabitants of Umanaq
are among the very few Green
. landers who hunt polar bears.
Scont Need for White Men
At this outpost only 900 miles
south Of the North Pole, the
EskimoS undoubtedly would 60
on living much as they do now
If all contacts with white men
were completely severed.
The modern military COM
munity a few miles down the
bay conceivably could be wiped
out in some future atomic war
without affecting the security
of Umanaq. True, the Eskimos
would soon run out of ammuni-
ton for their hunting rifles, or
steel for their knives and seal
ing spears.
But this happened once be-
fore. Admiral Peary and his
companions. during their long
stay in this region, introduced
modern weapons and metals.
Prior to the turn of the century.
the EskimoS here had received
almost nothing of modern cul-
ture from their earliest visitors
-Whalers who reached this far
north in sailing vessels only
occasionally.
For years after Peary left the
Eskimos had a tough time.
When they ran out of ammu-
milton, they saved every scrap
of steel, but were returning to
ivory and bone implements
when white men again re-
turned-this time led by Danish
explorers.
Sod-House Community
Only a few residents Of
Umanaq are prosperous enough
to own wooden houses. Other
huts ranging along the shore

and patched with driftwood.
The entrances are like low
tunnels, and the interiors can
be sealed to exclude the last
breath of fresh air.
The air-tight interiors can be
kept above freezing with tiny
Oil flames or a few candles, but
the atmosphere is a bit rich.
Novices sometimes react in an
explosive manner after inhal-
ing the supercharged air, but
the Eskimos enjoy it.

Sorquaq plan his house. It had
a concrete foundation, double
windows, sealed interior and
double doors at the entrance.
The hunter brushed aside advice
and insisted on an old-fashioned
tunnel entrance, into which a
tall man must crawl on hands
and knees.
Peory's Aide
The most distinguished resi-
dent of the village was Odaq
(Seal Under the Water), who
accompanied Peary on his dash
to the pole. Odaq received us
in the only other wooden house
in the village, a tiny affair
sealed like a ships cabin and
presented to him by the govern
ment.
Odaq probably Is over 10 and
in failing health. But his thick
mop Of jet-black hair contained
no single thread Of gray, and
his old eyes sparkled in their
weathered pouches when Peary's
name was mentioned.

ViIIoge Religious Life
The minister Of the village,
DR.. Knudsen. is a native Of
Greenland who married a pretty
Danish girl while studying in
Copenhagen.
In their spotless. shining cot
tage on the rocky coast they
gave us small cups of coffee and
Danish pastries beside a south
window gay with hothouse
plants and flowers.
In a small church equally as
spotless, the minister holds
forth both as a teacher and
spiritual adviser for his flock.
