Capt. Schiller Returns From Studying Diseases Of St. Lawrence Dogs

Capt. Everett Schiller from the Arctic Research Institute, who is better known here as the "rat control man" returned recently from Gambell where he has been studying the diseases of the dogs of that area. Because of this dis ease which is caused by a para site, St. Lawrence dogs are re- stricted and may not be taken from the island.
 He said that the dogs are not only restricted to the island but that it would be beneficial at the present time if new dogs were brought over to the island from the mainland.
 Capt. Schiller discussed some of the problems confronting scientists today studying disease found in the sea otter.

Heroic Mountain Climber
Dies In Crevasse After
Saving Injured Companion

PORT ANGELES, Wash, Up -
A mountain climber trapped in a
crevasse by his own heroism was
found dead late yesterday on tow
ering Mt. Olympus.
Doctors said DR.. Anthony Levy,
80, University of California re-
search biochemist from Berkeley
had been dead about nine hours
before his body was reached.
He had been trapped deep in
a crevasse at the top of the 1854
foot peak which stands in the
center of Olympic National Park.
Ironically, it was Levy heroism
in rescuing a climbing companion
that led to his being entrapped
in the murky depths of the Gre
vase.
Levy, with four others, were
climbing the mountain Saturday
when one of the party, Dick Neal
of Seattle, slipped into the Gre
vase, breaking a leg in the fall.
Levy volunteered to go down
into the crevasse and help get
Neal out. The efforts to rescue
Neal were successful, but Levy,
exhausted by his efforts, could
not get out himself and attempts
by the other three to bring him
to the surface failed.

Engineers Survey Kenai
Lakes for 80 Million XVIII
HyrO-electric Plants

SEWARD, lR - A government
engineering team has begun a
survey of Cooper and Crescent
lakes to determine their suitable
ity for a multi million dollar
hydroelectric plant to serve the
Kenai Peninsula and possibly
Anchorage.
Survey work will be completed
this year at the Cooper lake site,
and if time and appropriations
permit, the party will move to
Crescent lake 10 miles north
west to make a preliminary study.
A hydroelectric plant Of. the
size proposed for the project
would generate 80 million kilo-
watt hours annually.
Seward is the heaviest consum-
err on the Kenai Peninsula with
an annual usage of 100000 XVIII
and with other peninsula COM
munities using less, additional
power would be available for the
greater Anchorage area which al
ready is consuming the entire
power resources from the Eklutna
project.
Cost rsgenerating power, as
computed by the Corps of Engi-
neers, was 7.8 mills XVIII at Coop
err lake and 9.3 mills XVIII at
Crescent lake. The rate at Elk
lutna has been established at II
mills.

President VetOes
Pay Increase For
Federal Workers

DENVER, LR = President Eisen-
hover today killed a per cent
pay increase voted by Congress
for 100000 federal workers.
In a statement at his vacation
headquarters, the President said
he was announcing his veto of
the legislation Gin order that fed
eral workers may not have to
undergo a period of uncertainty
as to my action"
Congress passed the bill and
sent it to the White House last
Friday, just before it closed shop
on legislative matters.
"This measure" the President
said, "because it ignores the adj
ministration's recommendations
for postal rate increases, would
add $112,000,000 to the cost of
operating the Post Office Depart
ment, which is operating at a
deficit of 400 million dollars this
year.
at is well to remember that
since 1945 the accumulated Post
Office deficit has reached the
staggering total of four billion
dollars. Likewise, this measure
would add more than 200 million
dollars to- Civil Service pay with
out providing any revenue to
meet it."

II Die In Crash of Braniff
DC-3 During Wild Storm

MASON CITY, Iowa, R = A
Braniff International Anyways
DC-3, warned not to land here
because of a wild storm, crashed
into a pasture yesterday killing
II. of the 10 persons aboard.
Eight were injured, two critically.
The violent mixture of heavy
wind, rain and hail had "socked
in" the Mason City field, and the
leaden skies made a landing i'm
possible.
The plane, northbound from
Memphis, Tenn, to Minneapolis,
was only about ten minutes out
from the field when they radioed
it to hold off landing because of
the storm.
The field never received an
answer, airline officials reported.
But they added that even had an
acknowledgement been sent it
might not have been heard be-
cause of the heavy static.

BY a vote of nearly 3 to /,

the subject of lengthy debate.
Those favoring dropping AFL
affiliation argued that supervis-
ors are on the side of manage

Few P0Ws Traded
Before DeadIine
BY the Assoeiased Press

HANOI, Indo- China. Aug. 26.
The deadline for exchanging
all war prisoners in North Wet
Nam arrived today with only a
small fraction of French Union
POWs returned by the Commu-
nist-led Wet Mini.
Reliable informants said the
French, in a memorandum to the
international Armistice Commis-
sion, blamed the Wet Mimi for
the exchange delay but indicated
willingness to extend the dead
line.
The French said yesterday
they had released 1924 pris-
oners. Earlier unofficial esti-
mates said they had held about
10000 in the north.
The French said the Wet Mini
on the other hand. had released
only 2,570 French Union pris-
oners. Before the exchange
started the Defense Ministry in
Paris estimated the Wet Mini
held a total of $4,000 prisoners
but there was no estimate how
many were captives in North
Wet Nam.
The Geneva agreement to end
fighting in do-China allowed
80 days for the prisoner exchange
in each sector after the cease
fire there. The period for North
Wet Nam ended today.
Among those still to be re-
leased is Brig. Gen. Christian de
Castries, commander of the Diem
Bien Phu garrison. Before the
prisoner exchange began. the
Viet Mimi radio announced he
would be freed but there has
been no further word OF him.

Soviet Naval Power
Held Highly Efficient
By British Admiralty
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Aug. 26.-RuSsia is
acquiring a navy capable Of con-
vincing the Russian people that
they are a sea power again and
able to deal with any naval op-
position that may be offered. the
British Admiralty said last night.
It added that the Soviet feet
may well be able to use atomic
tactical weapons and other mod
ern devices on offense and de-
tense.
The Admiralty's 1954-5 esti-
mates said Russia since 1945
cannot have had less than IL
billion pounds ($33.6 billions)
spent on it,"
Forecasts Strength.
Here is the admiralty forecast
of Russian naval strength within
the next two to three years:
Thirty cruisers, $50 destroyers.
500 submarines. 500 motor tor
pedo boats, 1000 minesweepers,
800 escort vessels, 1000 naval
aircraft, numerous patrol and
landing craft.
THE frequent and extensive
naval exercises, at times sug-
gestive of open seas tactics,
cannot fail to improve the pre-
paredness for war of the ships
and skill of their crews" the
admiralty said.
Most Ships Postwar.
Nearly all the ships are of
postwar construction and most
of the aircraft will be jets. All
ships not ref1tting are kept fully
manned and operational. The
cruisers. destroyers, submarines
and many Of the small craft are
fitted for minelaying.
The admiralty said that in
addition to orthodox armament
the Russian naval forces may
well be capable of using, in vary
ing degrees, long range torpedoes
of greatly improved type, mines
with complex anti-sweeping de-
vices. tactical atomic weapons
and guided missils, both Of
fensive and defensive"
The admiralty put the Soviet
Navy manpower at 100000. of
whom approximately 100000
serve in ships, IS 900 in the naval
air force and the remainder
ashore.
Effort Undiminished.
The Russians are putting ap-
proximately one-fifth of their
total expenditure into their navy.
the admiralty said, and it seems
probable that this effort remains
undiminished at a time when
Russian productive capacity is
being stretched to meet the
claims Of armament production,
civil construction and atomic
research"
The admiralty estimated Rus
sia would be capable of building
at least. six cruisers a year and
so ocean-going submarines ir
addition to large numbers OF
destroyers, escorts and small
craft.
The British naval estimate.
for 1954-5 gave these figures
for the Royal Navy: Five battle
ships. 10 aircraft carriers, 2!
destroyers. 8 Daring class ships
equivalent of light cruis-
ers), 90 destroyers, 1874 frigates
81 submarines, 303 minesweepers
and 3 fast minelayers. Those
figures included ships being built
in reserve, on active service ane
for training.
