Greenlanders Complain To Denmark, US. Base at Thule Ruins Their Home

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, R-- Two Greenlanders have come all the way to Copenhagen to discuss with Danish authorities how to have one of the worlds northern most settlements moved still far ther north to get it away from the neighborhood of a big Ameri- can airfield.
 The two Greenlanders are the inspector of the whaling and seal ing and the vicar of Thule settle ment, 2,000 miles up the icy west coast of Greenland, Denmark's big Arctic colony. They have come to have the homes of 100 people moved to a place where they can live peacefully without the roar of airplane engines in their ears.
 The big American "Bluie Jay" airbase is close neighbor to the Thule settlement, and though the Greenlanders are fond of com pany they resent it in this case, as they claim it has meant clear decline in the prosperity of the Thule settlement.
 They said there were no fish, no seals, no walrus-all of them scared away by the noise from airplanes and ships going to and from the Bluie Jay base.

Former Ambassador To India Says Asia Teetering On Brink of Communism

WASHINGTON, R - Chester Bowles, former ambassador to India, said at the White House today the fight against Commun- ism in Asia is going better from a military standpoint than it was a year ago.
 Bowles talked to newsmen after a 45 : minute conference wit h President Eisenhower. He has just returned to the United States after serving as envoy in New Delhi during the Truman administra- ton.
 He described Asia as a contin- ent ''teetering" between Com munism and free world demo- cracy, and said it probably will continue to teeter for several years.
 India in particular, Bowles said, must have economic and financial help from the United States or the danger of Communism will grow.
 BoWles said India needs 200 million dollars annually in US. economic help. He said the nation at present is receiving only about 50 millions annually.

 Main speakers for the Fairbanks delegation were Phil Anderson, Cecil Wells, Ed Lewis and Stan Tatom, who stated their trip was a good will mission with one of the main goals a better under standing between the End and 4th Divisions so that the main goals in the economy of both divisions could be worked out with bet ter understanding.
 According to Stan Tatom the most important issue is the high way to Nome SO that "all people under the American flag can be united by highway and visit each other as neighbors."
 Cecil Wells stressed the import ance of a well-chosen delegate to the All-Alaska Chamber meeting, one who knows the needs of this area and can vote the wishes Of the Division with confidence. The meeting will be held in June and he hoped that the delegate would have the full confidence of the chamber and be able to assist materially in this important group. It is only by pulling to- gether that the different divisions can accomplish big things in the future.
 Wells noted the absence of "Mr Alaska a charter member of the Nome Chamber of Commerce and an active officer since it was first started, namely, A. Polet, who was detained in Fairbanks on business.
 Representing Nome on the program were Dewey Goodrich, toastmaster, Mayor Steve Ander- sen, now serving his third term,
