 Hugh Wade, director of the AL aska Native Service, said Monday water was struck at the 4O3-foot level after digging through 400 feet of permafrost.
 Some $4O,OOO had been pro- vided to sink a well 500 feet deep in search of water.
 Previously Kuskokwim River water had been filtered at Bethel but it was a costly process. The well will serve a 7O-bed hospital being constructed at Bethel to re- place an institution destroyed by fire in 1850.

spontaneous. know that I

denial with you Of the fantas-
tic explanation put out by
Moscow that the uprising was.
caused by American provoca-
teurs. No proyocateur of any
nationally can persuade human
beings to stand up in front of
rumbling tanks with sticks and
stones. Such action comes
from the heart and not from
any foreign purse.
Second. this uprising was
not just a momentary flash of
desperation. The continuing
news of disorders in Eastern
Germany indicates funda-
mental and lasting determina-
ton to be fully free. despite
long years of stern Sovietiza-
ton.
Third, nowhere were the
rioters bourgeois reaction
aries" or capitalist warmon-
gers" They were workers.
. Therefore, the martyrs who
fell before Russian Communist
guns were the very same
workers in whose name the
Kremlin has falsely and cyni-
cally built their empire of
oppression, their far-flung
workers paradise"
Fourth, the fact of the up
rising, the conduct of the
German Communist leaders
during the event and their
actions since the event, all
indicate the complete political
bankruptcy of the SED, (the
Communist East German gov
ernment).
Fifth, and to me Of utmost
significance, when the riots
developed in the Russian Sec
tor of Berlin, the workers
chant was, I'VE want free
elections" In this phrase, the
people clearly and simply
summed up their yearning for
the alienation of their griev-
ances and sufferingS.
The combination Of these
five facts actually forms the
background for that portion of

man unification and free elec-
tions. And the communique
itself, as you know, is actually
the diplomatic confirmation of

Warns Of Danger
Of Premature Disormino

While a future alderman
government must obviously be
free to choose the degree to
which it wishes to. enter into
defensive and other arrange
ments compatible with the
principles of the United Ma
tions, I can hardly imagine
that it would seek the path
of complete and premature dis
armament in the presence of
other nations still heavily
armed. I believe this is mat
ter worthy Of serious attention.
Those who in Germany believe
they can suggest an easy, safe
solution through defenseless
naturalization should carefully
ponder the true wisdom and
safety of such a course.
Speaking for America, and I
believe the rest of the free
world share this view. I can say
that there has been enough
bloodshed and enough misery
and enough destruction in the
past fifty years, to deter any
people or any government of
the West from any ideas of
military aggression. But the
peace we all so dearly seek can
not be maintained through
weakness. EDO will be the
simplest, most unequivocal,
and most self-evident dem
onstration of strength for
peace.
No one can foretell what the
unfolding months will bring,
but it can certainly be said
that the workers of Berlin's
Soviet Sector and the workers
of East Germany, with the
workers of Czechoslovakia,
have started something that
will have an important place
on the pages of history. May
the concluding chapter of the
history record the reemergence
Of freedom, Of peace, and of
happiness.

To this first step Of free
elections, the Government of
the United States will con-
tinue to lend the full force of
its political, diplomatic, and
moral support.
There are sincere people in
Germany. in the nations of
Western Europe, and even in
my own country, who have
come to believe that free elec-
tions, and therefore the unfit
cation of Germany. contradict
and possibly exclude the con-
cept Of the European Defense
Community which has been
ratified by both your Houses
of Parliament and is now be-
fore your Constitutions
Court. / do not and have
never accepted this theory
that the EDO and uniflcation
of Germany are mutually ex-
elusive. Quite the contrary.
AS the three Foreign Min
listers stated at the conclusion
of the recent meeting in
Washington, since the Euro
pean community corresponds
to the lasting needs of its
members and their people for
peace, security and welfare, it
is looked upon as necessary in
itself and not linked up with
existing international ten
SionS.
It has long been my convic-
ton that the strengthening of
the Federal Republic, through
adoption of the EDO, the con-
tractual agreements and fur
ther progress in the integra-
ton of Western Europe, can
only enhance the prospects for
the peaceful unif1cation of
Germany by increasing the at

It calls on Communists to re-
member "the imperialiSts will

and diverSionists, use all means

Polish Trials Cited.
The article tells of recent trials
in Poland of "bands of spies and
diversionists" allegedly paid by
Americans. 1t tells of the recent
"rout and liquidation of conspir-
atory diversionist bands" in Ro-
mania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia,
East Germany and Hungary. 1t
also said that American imper-
ialists conduct active under
ground work against the Chinese
Peoples Republic" adding that
the Chinese have uncovered mot
few anti-people organizations
set up by the enemies Of the free

Besides suggesting a struggle
to hold Moscow lines throughout
the Communist world, the article
also reflected another Soviet
Worry-the proximity Of western

military thinking, in terms of

Soviet Tightens Grip
On Rail Connections
With lis Satellites

PARIS, July IS, (CDN -
Authentic reports just arrived
here indicate the Russians are
pushing through in great haste
the modification of railway lines
connecting them with their satel-
lites.
The idea apparently is two
fold: To tighten the Soviet grip
over the so-called popular repub-
lies by putting their railway sys-
TENS on the same wide gauge as
Soviet Russia'S and to disconnect
the satellites from Western Eur
ope. The Western systems en-
ploy narrower gauge.
There are parallel reports re-
vealing this Soviet move, from
Poland, Hungary and Romania.
AS yet. however. there is no sign
that the Soviet is facilitating"
railway connections between
Russia and Eastern Germany,
The first direct" train obvia-
ting changes-at the border town

and Moscow-was proudly hailed

inconveniece of changing trains.
specially built locomotives and
cars are lifted by powerful crane.
The wheels are spread to Russian
width. Then, when trains come

A special gadget Of Russian

whole operation for a 10-car
train takes 40 minutes.
