issue President Syngman Rhee's
demand for more war if . post

doesn't agree within 50 days to

A high source said U. S. envoy
Walter s. Robertson rejected
Rhee's demand in an hour and-five
minute meeting this morning
their seventh secret session.
After the conference Robertson
told newSmen:
''0ur discussions are continuing.

No time has been set for the next
session. -
Even n Rhee and Robertson
reach agreement, TIE u. N. must
get the Communists to sign the
truce.
The Reds apparently were ready
until Rhee freed 1900 anti.Red
Korean War prisoners about three
weeks ago.
Since then, they have baked
stubbornly, demanding the almost
impossible recapture of all the
prisoners and positive assurance
Of U. N. control over South Korea.
The U. N. answered the Red
demands Monday and called for q

Alaska Steam To Carry 500 Military Dependents In October And November

SEATTLE, R-A Navy official said inA Seattle Monday he had been notified that nearly 500 mill tary dependents will be carried on 10 voyages of Alaska Steam ship Co. passenger liners in Oct ober and November.
 Capt. James R. Topper, com mander of the Military Sea Trans portation Service for the North Pacific, said he had been told by MSTS headquarters in Washing ton, DC, to arrange reservations for the passengers.
 Alaska Steam, which has had no military passenger business since World War II, has been seeking a share of such travel to offset a decline in private book ings. The company has said it might not be able to continue passenger service to the Territory otherwise.
 The announcement could not be confirmed in Washington, DC.
 Pentagon officials would say only that if military dependents returning from Alaska exceed the space available on Military Air Transport Service planes, some will travel on Alaska Steamship Go. liners.

Lois Mercy, Asst. Educ. Commissioner, Confers With School Supt. Angell

Miss Lois Mercy, assistant commissioner of education, is on her annual visit to the territorial schools of this area and has been here for several days conferring with Superintendent Angel on the many problems of administer ing a more than over-croweded school.
 She praised highly the present plans for the addition to the school and said that eight classrooms is very conservative increase as both the high school and the grades need expansion and the expansion all over the country will continue for some time to come, according to all surveys. It is her observation that commit nity progress and the evaluation of property in community grows as the school grows.
 She stated it is of major i'm portance that schools have ade- quate space and ventilation, as the health of the children must be the first consideration. Over crowded classrooms and made quate lighting are hazards that must be overcome as soon as pos sible.
 Miss Mercy was very pleased with the increase in all territorial schools and stated that for the first time there are more of the native population in territorial schools than in the Alaska Native Service schools.
 She said that the Nome School does not have enough teachers for the number of students but there is not enough space to accommodate any more teachers unless the school starts using the shift sys- tenn as other schools in the terri tory have had to do.

SHAME ON US!

 Washington, DC. - We have been hearing alarm ing stories about Alaska It seems that the chain of Aleutian Islands that stretches westward from the mainland for nearly 2OOO miles-and is all but a bridge to Siberia-s not military asset, we once thought, but liability The air strips that consid cred so important in World War II all but aban- doned Today, told, the only military value of Alaska would be for basing atomic bombers and there few bases in the peninsula large enough for this purpose.

was always TO be found in the

her falling health put 2 stop TO

know her ability by talking with
her, as she exhibited no trace
Of conceit, and I really believe
she did not realize just how good
she was. She has left many a

on towards the inevitable Broth
erhood by her sweet contribu-
tion to the program Of the Gre
