AVA Estimates
 Tourists Spent $lO Million In Alaska

JUNEAU, R-The Alaska Wis itors Association estimates the spending of tourists in Alaska this year at 10 million dollars, a gain of 65 per cent over 1852.
 The estimate was given by president Ed Coffey after a week end meeting of AVA directors here.
 He described the tourist in dustry as a vital economic factor in Alaska-even in such cities as Anchorage and Fairbanks III and said the AVA hopes stepped-up advertising campaign will draw twice as many travellers next year.
 ''The paramount importance of the tourist industry can be seen all over the territory" Coffey asserted. "In Nome and Kotzebue the economy is now based on tour ist travel since the closing of the gold mining industry"
 He expressed the opinion that tourist dollars did much to bolster Anchorage and Fairbanks econo- mics last summer while military construction was at a low ebb during the period of contract re- viewing.

ST. PAUL, Minn., R R- North west Orient Airlines operated on a curtailed basis Monday as a re- suit of the strike last week of 1,500 members of the AFL Bro- therheod of Railway and Steam ship Clerks.

Immigration Act Is Beneficial To Alaska, Says Boyd

SEATTLE, R- District Immi- grafton Director John P. Boyd says that Alaskans, who at first were apprehensive about what they feared would be annoying red tape under the McCarran Im- migration Act, are now beginning to recognize it as beneficial to the territory.
 The act went into effect II months ago. It set up tighter regulations for entry of aliens from the territory. Boyd express ed the opinion in an interview that the act has worked to the ad- vantage of Alaska and has given federal agencies a check on who is travelling between the US. and it's territories.
 1t has succeeded in keeping a lot of agitators and trouble makers out of the territory" Boyd said. "We made it clear before the act went into effect that if we found alien subversives or aliens with criminal histories attempting to enter the United States from Alaska, we wouldn't admit them,
 "As a result, most of them stayed in the States"
 At the time the act was put into effect last year, it brought criticism from many Alaska groups and individuals, who com plained that it would be discrim- inatory and burdensome.
 Boyd said that of 125,0O0 per sons who have arrived in this dis trict from Alaska since the law took effect, 30 have been de- tained by the Immigration Ser vice.
 The majority, he said, are aliens from the Philippine Islands who went to Alaska for the canning season. Twenty-nine are free on bond, pending settlement of their cases. One, a Russian citizen suf- fering from tuberculosis, is in con- finement.
 Boyd said 12 of the 30 have been ordered deported.

COP Leaders Shy Of Official Stand On Statehood

SAN FRANCISCO, R-Western Republican leaders ended week end session here with a call for election of more COP congressman and senators and a decision against adopting any resolution or taking an official stand on Hawaii or Alaska statehood.
 Delegates from II western states, Hawaii and Alaska ex- pressed strong support and ad- miration for President Eisen- hover and Secretary of Agricul- ture Benson, nearly unanimous backing for immediate statehood for Hawaii Cbut not Alaska), con- cern over the sick mining industry and disapproval of the number of Democrats still in federal jobs.
 But they didn't adopt resolu- tions on any of the issues be- cause, chairman Harlan Payeton of Spokane explained, this has been a family meeting of the peo- pie who are going to keep work ing for the party.
 It was learned that the resolu- tions committee shied away from statehood resolutions because it didn't feel it could back Alaska, which is normally predominantly Democratic, along with the Re publican Hawaii.

British Foreign Secretary
 Accuses Italian Extremists Of Provoking Trieste Riots

LONDON, R Foreign Secre- tary Anthony Eden today accused extremists inside Italy of provok- ing last weeks riots in Trieste. He demanded the Rome govern ment clamp down on them.
 Eden told the House of Com mons that about 5000 persons from Italy tried to storm the American-British occupied Zone A of Trieste on Nov. and Nov. 4 but most were turned back.
 ''In spite of this, large num- bers succeeded in entering or in filtrating into the zone and took part in the riots," he said. / Irresponsible elements had evi- dently planned to exploit certain national Italian anniversaries in order to provoke incidents in Trieste" he said.
 The foreign secretary made his statement only a few hours after Prime Minister Churchill unex- pectedly called his cabinet into session to discuss the Trieste sit uation. The riots had taken an anti-British turn.

Nenana c of c Expedition Completes 5O-Mile Motor Trek To Fairbanks

FAIRBANKS, R - A two-car expedition sponsored by the Ne mana Chamber of Commerce com pleted an overland trip to Fair banks Saturday, succeeding in a project which failed last Febru- ary.
 The purpose of the 50-mile trip was to prove the feasibility of a road linking Nenana with Fair banks. The trip was taken in temperatures ranging from 3 be- low to 10 below zero. The pre- vious attempt was turned back when the radiator in a jeep used then was punctured while going through thick forests.
 The tavelers left Nenana at a.m., led by Arnold Anderson, president of the Chamber of Com merce, in a pickup truck and a 4 : wheel drive surplus military vehicle.
 Six hours later they were greet ed in Fairbanks by acting Mayor Myra Rank and other city of ficials.
 There's nothing to the trip,'' Anderson said. "A road could be built linking Nenana with the highway system of Alaska at very little cost. We are looking forward to completion of this road"

Strip Teaser, Crazy About Babies, Is Arrested by FBI

HUGO, Okla, R-A 5-months- old baby boy giggled and cooed today while a 17-year-old former carnival strip teaser who admitted kidnapping the infant, resolutely announced that when he is grown "I'm going to get him back"
 Mrs. Tommy Dene Doughty, ar rested about midnight at the Red River Valley farm home of her father, was placed under $20,000 bond at her arraignment about six hours after her arrest. She did not enter a plea.
 She was charged with kidnap- ing Richard Lee Stammer Friday night and taking him from his Evansville, Ind, home by bus and hitchhiking to the farm north of Bokchita in southeast Oklahoma.
 Mrs. Doughty was baby sitting with the child when she said she decided to take him. "In "a way I'm glad it's over, but I still wish I could have kept him for a few days," Mrs. Doughty told an AP reporter.
 "He is just the age of the one I lost," she said in halting tones after her arraignment before US. Commissioner D. A. Stoval.
 The child's parents, Richard Duane Stammer, 25, a sailor who got an emergency leave after the child was taken, and Mrs. Shirley Stammer, Is, are flying to Durant to claim their baby.
 A physician examined the child and said he was in perfect physi- cal condition.
 James c. Ellsworth, agent in charge of the FBI in Oklahoma, said Mrs. Doughty lost a child at birth in June, 1853, in Chicago. He said she told agents she gave birth to a child at Dallas in 1851 but two weeks later her husband took it away and she never has seen it since.
 At Gainesville, Tex, across the Red River from Durant, B. R. Doughty, taxi driver, said he was seeking an annulment of their marriage. He said his wife is 'sort of crazy about" babies and once tried to claim another woman's infant as her own in Dallas.

some Americans abroad this
Christmas.
They are the scores-exact fig

Americans who are behind the
iron curtain and can't get out.
In the State Department, Of
ficials who handle such matters
said about 100 Americans are in
Communist China. Precise num-
bers are elusive. For one reason,
officials believe that some who
claim to be Americans actually
are not.
Of the 100 or so, it is under
stood that 81 are imprisoned and
one is under house arrest. The
others are free to pursue their
lives Dut not 10 leave Red emma.
Most of those in Red China are
reported to be missionaries. A
few are businessmen who did not
leave China before the Commun-
lists took over and can't gain the
necessary clearance to leave now.
Last March 81 three Americans
were seized by Red Chinese while
