Army Releases Wyer
Report On Sea-Train
Service To Alaska

SEATTLE, ZAP A military
statement on the proposed sea-
train service for Alaska said to-
day it "can greatly improve peace
time Army shipping, but its prime
Importance lies in its effect On
overseas military supply in time
Of emergency"
The estimate of military advan-
tage was in a memorandum from
the Department Of the Army to
the 9Th Army on the findings
Of the 'Wyer & 60. report. The
basic content Of the Wyer Report
was released Tuesday in Wash
ington.
Commercial advantages in the
handling of rail cars and motor
carrier units lie in reduced costs
in trans-shipping from land to
sea and sea to land transport, II
the memorandum said.
''Militarily, an added advan-
tage lies in the fact that, with
the reduction Of vessel turn
around time, the concentration Of
shipping in port at any one
time is thinned out. In addition
to greater utilization of man
power and facilities in port OPP
Grafton, this speed-up Of loading
and unloading offers a less val
liable target for enemy attack.
"The New Jersey company
CWyer & Coz was employed to
analyze the United States to-
Alaska trade as an existing typi-
cal example of the basic prob
lem"
The Army said it was releas-
ing the report because Of extern
sive commercial interest and in
the hope it would spur develop
ments in this type Of transport.

Security Comm.
May Split On
Benefit Limits

KETCHIKAN, Up - The EN-
ployment Security Commission
announced yesterday it has set
aside the proposals Of its direct
or, A. B. Phillips, and has begun
work on its own proposals to
rebuild the fund from which job
less benefits are paid
There is a possibility any re-
concentrations to the legislature
may take the form Of two re-
ports, however, as the commission
is split 2-2 between labor and
employer representatives.
The commission wound up a
public hearing listening to a de-
mand by Robert Mcfarland,
president Of the Alaska Territor-
ial Federation of Labor, denounc-
ing Phillips plan to cut off bene-
fits at 5000 a person until July.
The controversial $500 limit
proposal would be only about
one-fourth the payments provided
under the territorial law.
The heavy drain on the fund
during the current biennium is
expected to take it down to
around $65O,OOO by March /, in
contrast to the peak Of 10 million
dollars or more a few years ago.
1t is expected to a major prob
lem before the legislature in the
session opening a week from next
Monday.

SOviets Offer Share
Their Peaceful
Atomic KnOw-HOw

MOSCOW, R-The Soviet gov
eminent today offered to share
with the rest Of the world the
experience it claims to have gain
ed by operating an industrial
power station with atomic energy.
Foreign ministry press chief
Leonid Ilyichev told news con-
ference the Soviet Union is ''ready
to hand over the scientific and
technical experience piled up in
the Soviet Union
He said this information would
be made public through a report
to the United Nations committee
on atomic energy
There was no indication that
foreign scientists or technicians
would be able to study the oper-
alton Of the atomic power station
which the Russians claim to pos
seSS on their own.
At the same time the spokes-
man announced that academician
d. v. Skobeltsyn had been APP
pointed Soviet representative to
the conference on atomic energy
which the last U.N. General AS
sembly decided should be held
during 1855.
This is the first time since the
atomic discussions began in the
U.N that Russia has sent a non
political figure to such a meet
ing. The significance Of the
change over to a scientist was not

President Urged To Re-Certificate
All Four States-Alaska Air Carriers

WASHINGTON, uR-The entire
Washington State congressional
delegation and Delegate Bartlett
urged President Eisenhower to-
day to re-certificate all four air
lines now flying between the Pa
cific Northwest and Alaska.
The request, made in a letter
which went also to members of
the Civil AeronauticS Board, like
wise urged that routes of the
four carriers Pan American,
and Northwest, Pacific Northern
and Alaska Airlines be I'M
changed, including present routes
extending to Portland, Ore.
A similar letter IS being drafted
by Sen. Neuberger D-Ore) who
said he plans to confer with other
Oregon members to obtain a
united northwest front.
The Washington Alaska letter
stems from reports the CAB has
voted to recommend elimination
Of Pacific Northern and Alaska
from the States Alaska service,
combining these carriers to intra-
Alaska routes.
"The effect would be to vir-
tually destroy two airlines whose
organization and equipment have
been expanded to point where
restricted operation would not be
efficient" the President was told
Continuation Of route struc-
lures as now certificated, it add
ed, will foster competitive air
service between the Pacific
Northwest and Alaska, and will
avoid monopoly in air operations
between the States and the terri
tory"
"The fact that steamship pas
senger service between the States
and Alaska has just been sus-
pended, making the territory de-
pendent upon air travel exclusive
ly, emphasizes the need for more,
not less, air transportation"

Hanmarskjold
Talks with Chou
Are First Steps

ONl1ED MA 11ONo, WI - Dec
rotary General Dag Hammar-
skiold said today that Red China's
Chou En-Lai raised a number Of
questions, including a U.N. seat,
during their Pepiing talks-but
that he definitely had laid down
no conditions for release Of the
II American fliers held there.
The secretary general, in a
news conference, declared he had
achieved what he was aiming
att during his visit to Peiping.
He described this as merely the
first step in the continuing con-
tact.
Hammarskjold said that in his
opinion an improvement in the
international climate was direct
ly connected with the question
Of releasing the American filters
and other U.N. Command person
mel held by the Chinese Commun-
lists
He stressed, however, that
Chou had made no proposals or
laid down any terms.
He said Chou's discussion Of
other questions was entirely
apart from the question Of the
prisoners"
mo deals Of any kind, nor any
link between these other ques-
tions and the prisoner question,
were suggested by either side,"
Hammarskjold told reporters.
The secretary general declined
to list specifically which ques-
tons Chou had brought up, but
he said the Chinese leader had
raised just about every issue that
he has discussed in recent speech
es, statements, and other express
sions.
Hammarskjold was asked wheth
er Chou had expressed concern
over possible attack on the
Chinese mainland by the United
States.
Zone Of the curious things
about the present world situation
is that everybody is afraid of
everybody else," the secretary
general said.

without destroying their regulations.
During the war the game was shifted
TO the Saturday after Thanksgiving. But
Quakertown and Ithaca grads decided
it would be better for their waistlines
to cheer for alma mater than skeletonize
a 26-pound bird - so the games back
at the old date.
In New York, Patricia Cuts, lovely
British actress and TV panelist, invited
a half dozen fellow Thespians to share
her festive board last year for her first
American Thanksgiving, and vowed she
would cook the turkey herself. She put
fine, plump bird into the oven, waited
the prescribed three hours for it to roast
and then, with the cheering guests in her
wake, went to the kitchen to put the
finishing touches to her masterpiece.
That's when Miss Cuts discovered
she had made slight mistake. She had
forgotten to turn on the gas.
The last OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
The late Wilson Miner was wonderful
storyteller with no particular regard for
the truth. Coming back from the Yukon
gold rush - owning, alas. precious little
of the gold himself - Miner read in a
Chicago paper that turkeys were in short
supply that year and were bound to
bring 50 cents a pound by Thanks
giving Day.
So, avowed Miner, he bought 500
baby turkeys from an Oregon farmer for
dime apiece, invested $40 more in feed,
and started driving them across country
on foot. He figured he'd reach the
Windy City in 10 weeks fiat - just in
time for the holiday market and fortune.
Il got the turkeys clear through to
Chicago, too," he mourned, 'but with
the stockyards in sight, and flock of
five hundred nicely fattened fowl bound
to net me FIVE bucks apiece, cruel Fate
stepped in.
The turkeys developed sore feet and
few away"

"Thanksgiving," the inimitable
Ogden Nash has observed, like ambas-
sadors, cabinet officers and others
smearcd with political ointment De-
pends for its existence on Presidential
appointment.
The first Thanksgiving proclamation
in America, however, actually was issued
by governor: Bradford of the PIym-
outh colony in 1921, in gratitude for
the first harvest in the New World. The
Pilgrims invited 90 Indian guests, who
not only accepted, but brought five sue
culent deer as their contribution.
For three days differences were for
gotten while white man and red counted
their blessings together. A President
didn't get into the act until 1863. when
Abraham Lincoln issued the first national
Thanksgiving proclamation.
The nations standard menu for
Thanksgiving dinner today is three help
ings Of turkey, two slices Of pumpkin pie
and one heaping spoonful of bicarbon-
ate of soda. The march to the medicine
chest is known as the turkey trot.
Philadelphia is one city that does
not conform to this pattern. Everybody
has to hustle out too early for the annual
Penn-C Cornell fray.

For Mrs. r. c. D., Washing

tural gas. When the first 6

was Stiffness higher than we
expected. The furnace was
checked and adjusted, but the
enormously high cost con-

month we had the bottled gas
furnace replaced with an oil
burner. The heating cost of
the oil burner has been very
reasonable.
The cost Of propane for hot

be about the same as electric
ity. A 30-gallon bottled gas
water heater provides enough
hot water. due to a slower re-
