UNMASKED

On the very day the Atomic Energy Commission reported that the Soviets have resumed testing of nuclear weapons" Premier Nikolai Bugann gave his answer to President Esenhowers Geneva proposal to exchange military 'blueprints" and permit aerial re- connaisance of each others countries.
 In 10000 carefully chosen words, comprising a report to the Supreme Soviet the Geneva summit conference Bulganin said No" He praised the confer ence said it was serious step toward peace But he ridiculed the Eisenhower offer on the ground that either side could hide anything it wanted to.
 Bulganin said mo" simply because he didn't dare say Ives" We had too much to learn from such an arrangement Russia too little You build defense plants underground camouflage many others. But you can't hide starvation vast slave camps the misery of millions or an inordnate military build-up except behind an Iron Curtain.
 When Bulganin said Inc" he snatched away the smrking false-face that had nearly deceived the free nations. Of course the Communists have not changed But it took President Eisenhower's daring challenge to unmask them.

BENSON SEEKS SPECIAL SESSION

JUNEAU-Territorial Commis- sioner of Labor Henry Benson has announced that he will ask Gov. Heintzleman to call a special ses- sion of the legislature on or about November l.
 Benson said he would ask for the special session to take care of unemployment benefits, to pro vide additional money for the rural benefit program and to act on appointments to several boards and commissions.
 According to Benson, the new Unemployment Compensation bill of the last legislature isn't pro- ducing enough revenue now. For this reason, the special session should be held about Nov. l, when results of the bill can be properly evaluated. Also more money must be provided for the rural benefit program due to the failure of the salmon season in Bristol Bay and southeastern Alaska
 Benson also stated that he is leaving Washington DC. Aug. 20 to confer with the Departments of Interior, Labor and Commerce in protest to use of troop labor on

 Benson specifically pointed out projects at Utopia Creek and Ga lena, where troop labor has been used completely or partially to construct the installations. He said native labor is available for these projects and natives should be given the jobs. Many of them are now on relief.

 The mother, Mrs. Veronica An drews, q, had just returned from a police station where she reported the boys missing. She told police she opened the door of the refrigerator with apprehen- sion.
 The boys were damned inside, clad only in shorts. She pulled them from the tiny cubicle and summoned aid.

 In unity they lent their aid
 Though weighed by fearful stress And searched together through the night Nor slacked in weariness- But dread o'ershadowed all the scene With many an evil sign. As fear grew strong and hope grew weak Ih tragedy's design
 But blackest night precedes the dawn As cheer o'erfloods despair When in the light of newer faith Hopes day breaks bright and fair And with the day the airplanes came And with the planes,- success! For Tim, unhurt but hungry was Delivered from distress, The toddler, distant from his start, Was found five miles away And million miles of anguish from His smiles of yesterday Thank God for planes and pilots who Delivered him from harm! For Timmie Walsh is home again Safe in his mothers arms, Thank God for brightness in the morn That melted nights dismay! Thank God for the surge of human hearts That beat in Nome that day! Who put their shoulders to the wheel,
 The Wheel of Love, with might, And wrenched from grief, their happiness And morning from the night

TUNDRA TODDLER By HAROLD SALISBURY

The afternoon was fair and mild But wet winds deemed to stir When strayed away from camp-fre's glov The littlest wanderer, A tow-head toddler, four years old,
 Weighs thirty pounds of joy, Wandered alone across the wilds His curiousness t employ, Led by his bubbling wonderment Far from his playmates gay As mothers care he left behind To go his childish way Thoughtless of cold impending rain And beasts of savagery He roamed the stretches treacherous Where night was soon to be, Fearless of bogs and gulches deep, Thick brush and rough ravine That lie in wait for little feet, He stalked his new found dream No one knows the devious paths That knew his toddling step. No one knows the fun or fear He had,- or where he slept Though unknown dangers lurked about This stranger to the wild In sweet assurance plodded on In faith that crowns the child! And soon, engulfed within the night While hosts of searchers sought, He roamed the land alone, the while The whole town was distraughtl For all the countryside replied To calls of dire despair,

This suggestion seemed to be something

The second special feature Of our trip

my wife likes to shop and sight-see as we'll

Pat Makes Hit
We ARRANGED that while ! was having
discussions with government officials, she
would have separate schedule. Altogether
she visited 2S8 schools, hospitals, orphan
ages, homes for the aged and other welfare
institutions on our trips to Asia and Latin
America. On her visits to these places she
always insisted on meeting personally as
many people as possible. No one who was
not present can picture the great impact
these visits by Mrs. Nixon had. know
that her visit to the leper colony in Panama,
where she shook hands with more than
$50 patients, made greater impression
than anything did or said in Panama.
When we returned home from our Asian
trip we went directly to the White House.
As we were greeted by the President, he
said to me, Dick, I've had some pretty
good reports on you on this trip" Turning
to Mrs. Nixon he smiled, but, the reports

according to statisticaly minded newsmen
with us.
These were great and memorable expe-
riences for us. But the question is: Are
goodwill trips in the public interest?
In answering this question, shall try to
tell you some of my most vivid impressions
of our trip to Latin America early this year.
knew that goodwill trips sometimes
fail when a well-intentioned visitor puts his
foot in his mouth, due to ignorance OF local
customs and traditions.
For that reason, we made sure to become
thoroughly briefed in advance on each
country. We also intensively studied short
biographies of every principal government
official. And as we flew from one country
to another a State Department official
ioined the flight and refreshed our MEM
ories on the matters we had studied before
leaving Washington. The capable guidance
of the career people of the State Depart
ment was Of great help everywhere.
Prosocol Was Out
| SOON discovered that even with adequate
advance preparation, goodwin Trips can
be ineffective if there is too much sight
seeing, shopping and formal entertaining.
Consequently, laid down some hard and
fast rules: protocol was to be kept at a
minimum; no white-tie dinners and no
morning-coat receptions.
The schedule was to be full, SO that the
people we visited would realize we were
there not to take vacation but to learn
about their problems.
| think anyone would agree we carried
this rule out pretty thoroughly. On our
75-day trip to the Far East, we had only
one day of in Melbourne, Australia. In the
3O-day trip to Central America we had one
afternoon off at San Juan!
There are two other features OF our
schedule that would like to mention. First,
sent instructions to all OF our embassies

government officials, we wanted to meet

talk to ''the common people" Far from
finding that these people or those we're
different" we found they responded to a
smile, handshake or friendly greeting
just as they do in the US. These simple
spontaneous acts did more than all the
speeches in the world to convey the sincere
affection and friendship of the people of
the US. for the people Of other countries,
