Hedge cock from Nome Field, who were on duty Saturday night and early Sunday morning, and their in vestigation of a red glow at Nome Field, seen from Belmont Point at about 800 am.

Conference Determines
 US. Must Maintain Forces In Europe For Long Time

BERLIN, LR - American of ficials said today that Russia's rigid determination to keep her forward military positions in Eu- rope means the United States must maintain sizable forces on the continent for long time.
 Smoking out Soviet military in tentions in Germany and Austria -as evidenced by their refusal to roll back power at any point is regarded by U. $. Secretary of State Dulles as one of the most important achievements of West ern diplomacy at the Big Four conference.
 The American group here is also convinced that this finding will clear away any confusion and uncertainty in the Pentagon over what Americas future military policy should be and will result in planning for maintenance of strong US. forces in Europe
 American officials feels this is one of the results of the diplo-' matic and propaganda battles with Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov here on European issues, which they believe the United States, Britain and France have clearly won.

Seventeen Alaska Businessmen
 Will Ask Japanese Cooperation
 In Developing Mining Resources

TOKYO, R - Seventeen busi- nessmen from Alaska will visit Japan early next month to ask Japanese industrialists for techni- cal and financial cooperation in developing mining resources in Alaska, the newspaper Jiji Shim- DO reported today.
 Economic cooperation between Japan and Alaska has been dis cussed widely since the Japan US. Alaska Lumber and Pulp CO. was established to develop Alas ka's forestry resources.
 The paper said the mission will also try to arrange shipments di- rectly from Japan for cement, foodstuffs and other general mer- chandise.
 The paper said the Japanese government has been receiving in quiries asking possibility of Japa- nese investment in developing Al askan resources such as coal, pet roleum, copper, nickel and iron ore. The Japanese government is reportedly expecting successful results from the coming Alaska mission.
 The mission is coming in a pri- vate status, but the Japanese gov ernment will treat the group as an official delegation invited by the government, the paper said.
 Quoting Japanese industrial sources, the paper speculated the missions visit is aimed at obtain ing materials directly from Japan, avoiding the double handling via the states.
 Alaska wants to import cement directly from Japan at price ap- parently less than half that com ing in via the States, the paper said.
 It also said Alaska's industrial circles want to import from Japan agricultural products and general merchandise such as china, cam eras and sheet glass at cheaper prices in exchange for Alaskan products. f.
 The group will remain in Japan about a month for negotiations with Japanese industrialists.

Having Edgar Eisenhower's Old Phone Number Proves Headache
 To Tacoma Restaurant Owner

TACOMA, Wash, lP - Now Harold Chavis wishes he hadn't had that blankety- blank telephone put in
 ChaviS, a restaurant owner in nearby Lakewood, applied for the telephone, a couple of weeks ago.
 Much to his surprise, the phone company put one in right away.
 That's when the fun began.
 The phone started ringing and it rang constantly. Chavis and his wife always got the same request from callers:
 May I speak to Ed Eisenhower, please?"
 Mrs. Chavis answered upwards of a dozen calls before the light dawned.
 DO you realize that we got a telephone right away?" she ask ed Chavis. And yet the telephone company said it would be six months before we could get one installed"
 We got Ed Eisenhower's phone number" Mrs. Chavis told her husband. we got the one he gave up because it was too hot for him to handle"
 And she was right.
 Edgar N. Eisenhower, the Presi- dents brother, begged the phone company to give him a neW-and unlisted - number to keep his phone from ringing constantly.
 Apparently there is rule that you don't call the Presidents brother before midnight. About 3 am. would De about the right time," Chavis means.
 They call for influence to get them appointments. And they get sore when I tell them they have the wrong number. The crdckpOtS call when the bars are closing. They insist that I get Ed right now"
 Now and then Chavis turns the tables on callers and has little fun for himself.
 A man called a couple of days ago and asked if MT. Eisenhower was there.
 'They're both here," Chavis quipped into the phone, which ae do you want, Ed or Ike?"
 The caller, taken aback by the
 ick answer, did what Chavis wishes they would all do.
 He hung up,
