AN OPEN LETTER

Nome, Alaska
 October 5, 1854 MT. Dewey Goodrich, Manager Northern Commercial Co. Nome, Alaska
 Dear Sir:
 I have just come home from a funeral service for Ed Delilak. Understanding that under your management the firm was closed for over an hour, and seeing most of the employees of the Northern Commercial Co. were at the ser vice, I cannot help but feel it was very thoughtful and well of you to do as you did. Having known Ed ten years and more, l was not altogether surprised. A young man as he was deserved some consideration, and the packed church this morning can best ex- press the sentiment of his many friends.
 This note to you is prompted because of the feeling I have of your sympathetic attitude on this particular occasion. Being a native myself, and deep sense of re- spect being shown to another of my race who is now departed, I believe I can be sure in speaking for the native populace of Nome that we appreciate your move in permitting the shop to be closed in respect of Ed Delilak. We know this was one of the few times when a large establishment was closed during a funeral service for a native living in Nome. The store has lost faithful servant. However, by your considerate move, I trust that store has gained many friends.
 Yours truly,
 Percy 1palook

CZechs Threaten 10 Years Imprisonment For Refusal To Divulge US. Secrets

=
 NUREMBERG, Germany, R- Two American soldiers Monday accused their Czech Communist captors of threatening them with 10 years imprisonment if they refused to divulge US. military secrets.
 The men, Capt. Richard H. Dries, 32, of St. Albans, Long Is land, NY, and Pfc. George Pisk, 22, of Austin Tex, talked at a news conference of their two week confinement. Seized near the border in Bavaria on Sept. r, they were released by Czech army officers Oct. 2 at the West Ger man border point at Waidhaus.
 Dries had a pleasant surprise awaiting him after his liberation.
 He learned that while he was imprisoned he had been promoted from 1st lieutenant to captain.
 "Czech officials asked me spec itically about atomic weapons in Europe, what type of weapons were here," Dries said.
 "I said: I know nothing about them That's all I told them other than what my name was, my rank and serial number"

Missing Witness Identified In
 Reuter- Shooting 2

DETROIT, R-The missing wit ness in the Reuther shooting case was identified Saturday by the Detroit News as Don Ritchie, B, recently released from the Essex County jail in Windsor, Ont
 Ritchie was released from the jail Dec. 6 after serving a 30-day term for the theft of a coat, Wind sor police said.
 Detroit authorities questioned Ritchie in jail regarding the Reu- ther case, Windsor police said.
 The paper said Ritchie, a French Canadian, disappeared from De- troit hotel room last night where he had been under police guard.
 Prosecutor Gerald K. O'Brien had termed the missing witness ''the key witness" to the solution of the five year old assassination attempt on CIO President Walter Reuther.
 Reached at his home, O'Brien confirmed the identification of Ritchie. But he said, If you want to publish the name, that's your esponsibility-I don't want to be responsible for putting bullet in that mans head"
 O'Brien said the witness saw the shooting and was one of three assigned to the job,' although he didn't fire the shotgun blast that maimed the labor leaders right arm and all but killed him.
 It was mainly on the witness's statement, OBrien said, that a warrant was issued earlier this week charging four men with as- sault to murder and conspiracy to assault with intent to murder Reuther on April 20, 1948. The prosecutor said he had corrobor- ating evidence, but none from the shooting scene.
 Two of the four named are in jail, one is under S25,OOO bond, and the fourth is sought. The warrant also lists four unidenti- fled John Does"
 Without the missing witness, O'Brien doubted he could convict any of the four named.

Review of Mining POtentialities Of
 Seward Peninsula
By HOWARD LYING Territorial Senator
The 18th and final article in q series ercluSiUe to the Nome Nugget

Operations of the U. s. Smelt- ing, Refining and Mining Com pany at Nome come under four headings - prospecting, thaWing, dredging, and hydraulicing. Intel ligent prospecting determines the thawing ground, and these large areas are processed by method patented in 1918 by John Miles, called coldWater thaWing
 In order to carry on these oper- ations, large quantities of water are required, which are supplied by a system of no miles of ditches and laterals, and sixteen 14-in double suction electrically driven centrifugal pumps. During a sea- son of full-scale operations, these sources deliver approximately 17,OOO,OOO, 1000 gallons Of water for thawing.
 The 91 miles of actual ditches break down as follows: CD Mio- cene ditch, which originates at the headWaters of N om River - length 37 miles; @ Seward ditch, starts at Dorothy Creek near US. Roadhouse - length 30 miles; (3) Pioneer ditch, whose intake is at Santa Clara-length "A miles.
 The four dredges normally op- erated by the US.S.R. & M Co. are all g eli. fl machines, and we 2 all built by the Yuba Con- structicn Co. Of California.
 The approxirna-e total yardage handled by these machines since 1922, less 6 seasons between 1942- 48, to the present, is 65,000,000 cu yds, or 10O,OOO,OOO tons of material and of this total, ap- proximately 57,OOO,OOO GU. yds. of frozen gravels were thawed by the cOldWater method
 Here is a short description of No. 5, which dug last season, 212 miles back of Nome: Length, 21O f., width, P ft, displacement, 3,4O0 tons, digging depth below water, 90 feet, digging height above water, 25 feet, daily capac- ity, 5000 GU. yds., hull and super structure, steel.
 Hydraulicing is carried on along the hillside benches above the third beachline and at the mouth of Anvil Creek when excess ditch water is available Gravity dis posaI of water and tailings is not always feasible and frequently necessitates use of hydraulic ele- Vat0rs and elevated Sluice boxes. Auxiliary monitors stack the

coarse tailings.
 The mean annual temperature at Nome is 25.90 F, and the mean temperature during the dredging season is about 410 F. Due to it's location on Boring Sea, the Nome district does not experience the wide extremes in temperature that prevail in the interior The record extremes over the past 40 years are: -470 F and 840 F. The mean annual precipitation is only 17.26 inches.
 One of the territorys largest diesel power plants, situated in Nome and owned by the U.S.S.R. & M Co.,, supplies the power that sparks the whole operation. The plant contains six 525 h.p. Werks- spohr air injection diesel engines; two 525-h.p., one 575-h.p. and two 1400-h.p. solid injection Fair banks-Morse diesel engines. Total rated capacity of the plant is 5170 k.w.
 Fuel oils, fabrication, greases, and gasoline are delivered annual ly by tanker from Seattle. Eight steel tanks provide storage space for 80,000 barrels of fuel oil
 Boring Sea is open to navigation between June 1 and Nov. 1-the rest of the year Nome is isolated except for air transportation.
 The company maintains modern and complete repair shops, con- taining lathes and other tools of sufficient size to effect repairs to any dredge parts and power plant equipment. The electrical shop handles all electric motors and allied equipment repairs, and the automotive and tractor equip mtnt are cared for in a modern garage. Due to the long distance from markets it is necessary to carry unusually large stocks of equipment, repair parts and sup plies. The, importance of the warehouse department to the op- eration is indicated by the fact that around 18,0OO items are car ried in stock.
 The main roads in the Nome district are built and maintained by the Alaska Road Commission, with small amount of territorial participation. All branch and ac- cess roads to the thaW fields and dredging areas are constructed and maintained by the company.
 In the summer, equipment and supplies are hauled from Nome by truck, and where necessary fur ther distribution is made by trac- tor and trailer. Ditch camps are serviced by rail car over the Sew ard Peninsula Railroad, a narrow gauge tram recently abandoned by the territory, who formerly maintained it.
 The company operates three main camps for the acc0mmoda-

DALIBOC! MY FINGER!

Would it. perhaps. say ''su-su" with trace

The telephones ring also undergoes a
rather mystifying metamorphosis as it

Italy, and if it sounds as though it were
being tickled. emitting 'kil-kii," you're
in Finland
~Tau! Tau! Take That"
Now consider the noise a pistol makes
when it is fired. An American pistol goes
'bang!' A Greek pistol goes bam!" A Fin

A Chinese pistol shoots with gentle pend"
In Portugal, pistols spit TAU" A Polish
pistol goes bee" Tor. roughly. 'beng!O.
And an Italian pistol sounds like tin dish
changing to the floor: PAN"
The fact that pistol has numerous COM
ponent parts might account for some of
these differences. But crockery is a simple
product; how explain the wide variations it
produces when broken? In America. it goes
crash" Danish dishes emit a musical
'kling! A Portuguese dish being shattered
sounds like fat man falling down stairs:
''catrapuz boomr In Finland, crashing
dishes give out with scratchy "krats!" In
China they 60 'hua-la-la!" Italian dishes
produce a trisyllabic "patatrac!," while
Hungarian dishes break in two installments,
with a Earring "chir-churrr'
What all these variations prove Co., if,
indeed, they prove anything - is that noises
produced by similar objects differ as much,
or as little, as the people who hear them. If
beauty is in the eye of the beholder, caco-
phony is in the ear of the listener. Humans
hear what they've been taught they hear.
