October News

October brought very little
cheer this fall. Mail, as usual, did
not come when most expected.
High winds blowing from the
southeast caused heavy surf to
pound the west beach furiously,
excavating a meat rack, buried
during tidal wave some 81 years
ago. Approximate time when this
took place was 1924, when Mr..
and Mrs. Coffin School teacherS
with their son Gordon fled to the
hillside to escape rising tide
This recent storm lasted only a
day and a night.
Mrs. Sam Bell Nupokohok passed
away after long illness. She is
survived by her husband and by
three grown children. Ellis Kan
ingok also passed away after a
long illness.
To make the picture little
brighter, one bull walrus lighted
on the north beach. In less than
an hour, the skin and meat were
divided among the people of the
village.
A few seal are killed now and
them
Campers are still camping. They
may stay as long as they can
stand the cold, or until the ice
starts coming in.

November News

Two dead whales drifted on the
shores in the vicinity of Ganbell
in November and that's the only
big news for this month. Meat
and blubber from these whales
provided food for the people,
dogs and white foxes. Trappers
have already trapped a number
of these fur-bearing animals.
A delicacy of the natives, called
"opa" in their own dialect, is
found in quantities on the beach
east of Gambell. This underwater
plant drifted on the beaches when
storms beat against the land fur
iously. The plant clings to the
bottom securely, and only ter
rifle force Of underwater current
disengages it.
Once again, the people Of the
village of Gambe1l assembled in
the two classrooms of the school.
Thanksgiving dinner was eaten
and as usual, all were present ex-
cept the turkey! Nevertheless, ev-
eryone enjoyed feasting together,
which was followed by a big
"show"
Charlie Iyapana, who accom-
panied Mrs. Koonooku from Lit
tie Diomede Island, is enjoying
his stay on a bigger island. Ivory
carvers praised Charles good
work on fancy bracelets and other
things.

'NAT0 S|ashes Funds
10 S239 Million. Half
Ridgway's Request
BY the Associated Press


PARIS. Dec. 18.-The North At
lantic treaty nations agreed today
to spend $239, 900, 900 in 1853 for
airports and other solid defenses
against Soviet aggression. This
is just a shade more than half Of
the $428 million which Gen. Mat
thew B. Ridgway, supreme COM
mander in Europe, had outlined
as the minimum" to provide se-
curity.
Rene Pleven. French Defense
Minister, said the reduced figure
was agreed upon by the NATO
Council today, after a four-day
debate. The money voted will
provide enough to begin work on
airports and other long term prof.
'ects as soon as weather permits.
Meeting Nears End.
Decision on the final figure was
taken few hours before the pro-
jected conclusion of the meeting,
called to get the IA member ma
tionS to vote all the money they
could afford without going broke.
Field Marshal Viscount Alex
ander of Britain, Vzanwhile. an
nounced that ''in time of war"
Admiral Lord Mountbatten will be
boss of NATO's, Mediterranean
naval and air forces.
United States Admiral Robert
B. Carney and Britain's Admiral
Earl Mountbatten hurried here by
plane today to hear Gen. Ridgway
spell out their new assignments
in the vital Mediterranean.
MOuntbatten's Authority Fixed.
Meanwhile. Field Marshal Vis-
count Alexander of Britain said
that "in time of war" Lord Mount
batten will be boss of NATO's
Mediterranean naval and air
forces. :,
Lord Alexander, Britain's Min
lister of Defense, told a news con-
ference: While the United States
9Th Fleet is not now under the
new Mediterranean command. the
new commander in -chief will be
responsible for co-ordinating the
activities in time of war of the
American fleet with those of other
naval and air units operating in
the Mediterranean"
This was the first public an
nouncement on just how much
authority the new Mediterranean
naval commander in n-chief will
have.
A NATO communique had de-
fined Lord Mountbatten' COM
mand as mainly a defensive job.
at least in peace time. while Ad-
mlral Carney, who commands 3
striking force, was to have the
offensive ASSIGNMENT.
Lord Alexander said, however.
that in time of war, Lord Mount
batten will have the Job of CO.
ordinating all naval and air forces
in the Mediterranean.
Military Goals Reduced.
The North Atlantic council
met in the shadow of hard times
iover Europe. an economic slow
down which led them to take what
their military advisers believe to
be calculated risks. Among them
we're:
l. A broad decision to scale
down army. air force and naval
goals for the coming year. The
advisers had wanted the equiva-
lent of IS standard size divisions
under arms by the end of 1858:
now they will have to settle for
