Montana Cowboys Will Try To Set Up Range in Alaska

GREAT FALLS, Montana, R- Six Montana adventurers left Great Falls Wednesday for Alaska and an attempt to set up cattle range in the Alaskan wilds.
 The group will take up home- steads and lease federal grazing land for a crack at cattle raising in an area about 150 miles south of Fairbanks.
 We figure well lease 20 OOG CT 10000 acres for grazing" said Roland Harper.
 Al Remington, one of Harpers five partners, said "a few herds" of range cattle have been started along the Alaskan coastal areas. As far as he knows none have gone inland.
 The pioneer cattlemen will clear enough land this spring to grow hay and some grain for feed. Then, in the fall. they plan to take 70 head of Aberdeen Angus to start the herd.
 Remington says there is a ready market for the cattle once they've been fattened, as all beef con- sumed in Alaska is flown in from the United States.
 The men figure it will be three years before they have enough cattle to begin selling.

 WASHINGTON, RAA proposal to inquire into Red atrocities against prisoners of war in Korea has been put temporarily on a Senate shelf.
 After being assured that the Army and State Department will step up collection of evidence with a view to later war crimes prose cutions of the Communists for any atrocities against US. or Uni ted Nations prisoners, the Senate Appropriation Committee dropped plans to investigate.
 Some Americans captured early in the Korean War came back to- day, bringing bitter memories of a valley where 26O of 300 LIN. prisoners died of a long march which claimed 400 lives and of more than two years of misery.
 Most of the Americans freed yesterday by the Reds had been recently wounded. But many of the 40 who came back today were the "old boys" swept up in the fall of 1850.
 The men were pale and some were emaciated. They imped or were carried from the Communist ambulances.
 The latest group of 40 Ameri- cans was the biggest since the ex- change began Monday. It boosted to 119 the number liberated.

letter to the Editor

Dear Editor:
 In the past few weeks there has been great deal of discus sion concerning the proposed Public Utility District. Con- sidering this discussion it seems that pertinent facts should be made known. One fact that most persons forget is that a PUD cannot use tax money for any purpose except the construction. main tenance, operation, alterat on or improvement of a Public Utility as defined by Terri torial law. A fire dept. police dept, or street and highway dept. are not classed as public utilities, consequently. they should not be considered in the coming election.
 Everyone should realize that the election on Mar. 10, has nothing to do with the en- trance of this district into the City of Kodiak. If the PUD is defeated our status will re- main the same as it is now. If it is defeated the PUD can still enter the city if it is so voted at a future election.
 Regardless of how a person votes on the PUD they should vote for the nominees for di- rectorship. Some of these nominees are for and some are against a PUD but all of them should receive thanks for their public spirit and willingness to devote their time for the good of all.
 The following is an excerpt from the Territorial Laws re- lating to Public Utility Dis tricts: Sec. 49-2-31 Consent iof Community to Imposition Iof Taxes, etc. Anyone voting for a PUD is deemed to have 1 consented to the imposition of such taxes as are authorized l by and may be imposed under the provisions for PUD pur- poses. Do you give your con- sent to more taxes?
 This may be a close election and every eligible person should vote. Theirs may be the vote that decides the issue.
 Isl John Given.

Many complaints have been voiced this week by pedes trians who have been spashed by motorists Mission Road and on other city thoroughfares
 Kodiak has only recently in the past three years been able to construct few concrete sidewalks However Mission Road and other hcky populated have sidewalks long the roads.
 Experienced drivers especially taxi cab operators consderate of pedestrians when passing them along the mud dy roads of Mission Mill Bay and Shelkof Highway How ever many teen of decrept vehicles and similar hot shot operators barrel through the puddes spashng mud pedestrians who much entitled the road any notorst
 The courtes ordinary extended to foot traffic given by these important drvers The city or dnance covering the of speed permitted city says nothing regarding the rights of pedestrians
 Shouldn't ordinance be enacted giving pedes- trians protection from such careless drivers?

Unlimited Confidence Blooms
In Smith and Cooper Comps

Unlimited confidence seems to
have crept into the corners of
both Jimmy Cooper and Gene
Smith. who will meet in a
1O-round featherweight boxing
match a week from tomorrow
night at Griffith Stadium.
Each fighter has knocked out
the other once, but those losses
haven't caused either corner to
assume an air of caution.
Rocky Graziano, the former
middleweight champion, who is
working with Smith at Green
wood Lake, N. j., predicts victory
for his boy. So does Smiths
manager, Irving Cohen.
Cooper has his private cheer
ing section, too, in Manager Billy
Edwards.
II haven't seen Cooper fight"
acknowledges Graziano, but I
have been watching Smith closely
for three weeks and, brother, he
can hit! When he's right. no
man his weight is going to stay
in there with him and Gene is
sure going to be right for this
one"
That wasn't any fluke when
Jimmy knocked out Smith in the
sixth round of their last meet
ing" Edwards counter-attacks.
Smith was lucky to stay in
there as long as he did and Jim
my will be out to do it again.
Cooper has Smiths number and
Smith knows it."
Smith knocked out Cooper in
the sixth round almost exactly
two years ago-July 16. 1851

BY the Assoeioted Press

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo,
July 13.-The mechanics of
putting into effect the new foot

proposals for stimulating COL
legiate interest and participation
in the Olympics.
Victor o. Schmidt of the Pa
cific Coast Conference said the
group also will discuss what they
call the "television problem.
This will include a review of the
