WASHINGTON -- The recent
10th anniversary observance con
Quoted by the United Nations at
San Francisco, the site Of its
birth, has left this city with
twO.foid question: Just how
strong is the Soviet Union, and
what would we do about it if we
knew the exact truth?
The recent San Francisco
meeting produced a definite feel
ing there, and here, that com
munist Russia does not carry the
same weight that it had a decade
ago. Foreign Minister Molotov
from Moscow pretty we'll domi-
mated the anniversary meeting
of UN-that is agreed-but OBJ
servers say he did with bombast
and tricks this time, what he
accomplished by fear when the
UN was brought into existence.
In 1855, M0lotOV violated the
spirit of the meeting by making
a vigorous anti-West propaganda
speech; he seized upon brief So
cial meetings to din propaganda
into the ears of other delegates,
and he scheduled social func-
ti0nS of his own for times that
embarrassed UN functions. He.
called upon no one, apparently,
but Secretary of State Dulles,
England'S Foreign Secretary Har-
old Macmillan and Frances For
eign Minister Antoine Pinay went

Open Mind, Good Will


Open Mind, Good Will
In this connection, there is ev-
cry reason TO believe that the
Christian international, repre-
sented by its extremely able Sec
retary General, A. Vanistendael,
will enter into these negotiations
with an open mind and in a spirit
of good will. Any other policy
on the part of the Christian un-
ions would be a great disservics
to the cause of international la
Dor cooperation.
II is our personal hope that the
negotiations between the ICFTU
and the Christian international
will result eventually in some
kind of merger between the two
federationS.
Labor-Mansgement Cooperation
Finally, the American delega-
ton at the Vienna Congress of
the ICFTU repeatedly emphasiz-
ed the Importance of voluntary
labor-management coopera on
between free unions and free
employers.
This didn't sit too well with
some of the other delegations
who suspected, | think, that it
was meant to be an unfriendly
criticism of their own tie-up with
political parties and their long
standing tradition of reliance up
on government. The Americans
didn't mean it in this way at all.
They were merely serving no.
tlce IN friendly and construc-
tive way, that they will not per-
NIT the ICFTU to be used AS
sounding board for the outmod.
ed philosophy of European So
ciaiiSm.
In our opinion, it was good
think that the Americans spoke
up very frankly at the Vienna
Congress about the benefits
which we have derived from
voluntary labor-management CO.
operation in the United States.
Too many Europeans, il. and out
of the labor movement, are woe

ject.

Amos Burg To Film Fisheries For Alaska Dept.

JUNEAU, R HI Amos Burg, a nationally known photographer who has ridden the Colorado River and roamed many parts of the world with his camera, has been employed to make documen- tary and educational films for the Territorial Department of Fish cries this summer.
 Clarence Anderson, director of fisheries, said the filming will be aimed especially for future use in Alaska schools.
 The Department has an $8,O00 item in it's 1955-56 budget for educational and information proj- ects to pay for the undertaking
 "Fortunately," Anderson com mented, Burg seems to be more interested in the travel than the money. He comes a lot cheaper than Hollywood cameramen and he is good"
 Burg has done extensive cam era work for the Encyclopedia Britannica and the National Geo. graphic. He has been working re- gently on a film project on her ring while cruising and living on his own boat in Southeast Alaska.
 Specific film projects include the Taku Gillnet Fishery, experi- mental work on Afognak Island, King Crab Fishing, the Bristol Bay Fishery and the Taku River HeadWaters.

Helicopter Flies 475 Miles On Mercy Mission To St. Michael From Ladd

FAIRBANKS-The life of a woman in remote St. Michaels was saved recently when she was delivered to St. Joseph's Hospital following a 475-mile mercy flight by helicopter and SA-16 of Ladd's 74th Air Rescue Squadron.
 Mrs. Edward Tom was suffering from after-birth complications when the AIRS was warned evacu- ation was imperative. A helicopter took off from Ladd Field early and landed about F hours later at St. Michael, an isolated village on Norton Bay. The 'copter flew Mrs. Tom to Unalakleet, 40 miles distant, where the SA-16 delivered her to Fairbanks. She was admit ted to St. Joseph's shortly before noon.
 It was the longest helicopter rescue flight ever made in north ern Alaska, reported squadron of ficials. Since there is no landing strip at St. Michael and the sand bar was too soft, helicopter was the only means of evacuation.
 The journey was fraught with bad weather and treacherouS ter rain. The helicopter was piloted by Capt. Robert Carroll and 1St It. Lewis Wells. The SA-16 was piloted by Capt. Monzell Phipps and carried Capt William Rike, a doctor.

ANCHORAGE, R Air Force units in Alaska are preparing to evacuate by air the population of the tiny native village of lTuluk- sak, 300 miles west of here, which is threatened by the flooding, ice jammed Kuskokwim river.
 Four airplanes and two heli- copters have been ordered to the area from Elmendorf Air Force Base here and Ladd AFB at Fair banks.
 Capt. H. B. Gilmer of the Fist Air Rescue Squadron at Elmen- dorf said an abnormally large ice jam in the lower KuskokWim has cut off the ITS villagers from land or water escape.

it out in kerosene and it didn't lose
the foot, she said.
She had parked her car on top of a

had to walk up to it before she drove

Nicer The Grizzly
UrSuS Horribilis
By FRANK RITTEL JR.

URSUS HORRIBILIS is a name with
no meaning to many of us In 1915 a
naturalist gave this appropriate scien-
tific name to our western Grizzly bear.
The first fasteners knew nothing OF
the huge silvertip Grizzly which roamed
the west from Mexico along the Rocky
mountains up into Canada. It wasn't
known until the explorers, Meriwether
Lewis and William Clark, brought back
word of the huge bear in hair-raising
stories of their encounters with the
beast.
Lewis and Clark's journal does not
make it clear where they first met the
Grizzly bear. Big bears were men
toned, but it wasn't until they reached
the Yellowstone River in Montana that
they gave a good description of the huge
Grizzly This was where the party
made the mistake of bothering the Griz-
Fly. Not at all like the small bears of
the east, he didn't give ground or run
from them. He chased them up trees
or made them detour around him.
On one encounter, eight of the party
were out hunting ahead of the rest fol-
lowing up. On hill near the river they
came upon Grizzly. Rather than give
the bear the right of way they decided
to shoot at him all at the same time.
Surely eight bullets would kill him. AS
the echo of eight rifles died away the
hunters looked at their victim with
amazement. Unlike the bears of the
east, this bear refused to fall even
though badly wounded. Charging the
explorers he chased them over a cliff
into the Yellowstone River. Refusing to
be stopped by the high cliff and water
below, the Grizzly dived in after them.
Once in the water he took after two

Another hunter of the party hearing
the shots and excited yells ran to the
river. Seeing two of his companions in
trouble he fired a single shot. hitting the
bear in the head and killing him in
stantIy.
Later Lewis wrote in his journal. their
curiosity about the huge bear was
'oon 'swell satisfied" This is really a
good understatement, because the C4riz-
'ly gave them more trouble and wor-
les than all the wild Indian tribes in
Montana.
