Khrushchev Says
 Russian Engineers Surpass Americans

BHAKRA DAM, Northern In dia, LR - Premier Bulganin and Nikita Khrushchev toured India's 375-million-dollar irrigation and power project today with Ameri- can dam builder Harvey Slocum as their guide.
 Spirited conversations between Khrushchev, the Soviet Commun- ist party chief, and Slocum, chief consultant of the dam, enlivened the tour in which the Russian party of more than 100 wat guided through miles of construc- ton work.
 As Slocum showed the top So- viet leaders view of the pro- jected 680-foot concrete dam-to be the second highest in the world - the stocky Khrushchev turned to the American engineer and said: American engineers were helpful to Russia in the early days. We learned a good deal from them, but now we are in competition and soon we will pass them"
 Competition is a good thing, it helps progress" Slocum replied.
 1t is very good," Khrushchev echoed.
 Some 50 other Americans, en- ployed as consultants and tech nicians on the dam project, work ed at their jobs as the Russians went around.

WASHINGTON, R - A couple of heroic Eskimos are in town, shattering illusions right and left.
 The Eskimos, both members of the Alaska National Guard, were honored at the Pentagon Tuesday for leading a party to the speedy rescue of II members of a Navy patrol plane shot down by the Russians over Boring Sea June P.
 M/Sgt. Willis Walunga, 31, and Sgt. 1/c Clifford Iknokinok, 28, got citations and had Navy wings pinned on them, quite unusual for earthbound landlubbers.
 If they were impressed, they didn't show it. They seemed more interested in, and amused by, re- actions to their comments on life as it is lived on St. Lawrence Island, only 30 miles from Siberia.
 Most people are aware by now that most Eskimos don't live in igloos, and Walunga drove that point home neatly.
 "Igloos? Sure, I've seen an igloo. The same place you saw an igloo, in a geography book
 Dressed in their warm winter costumes, they dropped by the Smithsonian Institution for look

 Fasteners Illusions Of How
 St. Lawrence Island EskimOs Live

at how scholars think EskimOS live.
 Interesting" observed Walunga the more talkative Eskimo. T now have seen the second kayak of my life. saw one, on rack, in Nome once. We use open skin boats"
 Walunga and Iknokinok hunt for living, when they aren't Ma tional Guarding. They aren't par ticular about what they get. wal rus, seal, fox or whale.
 "We eat them all, except the fox" Iknokinok said.
 'The walrus is good eating" Walunga said. "Walrus liver is better than cows liver"
 With Christmas coming on, it's dismaying to report this, but facts must be faced up to courageously: there's a reindeer shortage on St. Lawrence Island.
 "Overgrazed," Iknokinok said "We're down to 200" Walunga, father of three, says this worries Eskimo small fry, too.
 Sure they believe in Santa Claus" he said. "They think he lives at the North Pole. But maybe we have enough reindeer left"
 We'll, it's a relief to know the Eskimos are on the job, not only because they saved II fliers and hustled them off to hospital, but also because they seem so alert at a place where alertness is needed.
 Take this example.
 They were walking through that incredible maze of inner cor riders in the Pentagon when re- porter asked Walunga, (Which way is nOrth?"
 Without even bothering to look for moss on the Pentagon walls, Walunga jerked his thumb over his shoulder. Back that way" he said.
 The reporter dropped over to IknOkinOk, who hadn't heard the exchange, and asked him the same question. Right behind me-" he said.
 A check with one of our native guards, who had roadmap of the Pentagon terrain, showed the Es- kimos were right
 The awed concensus: a clever, useful people, these Eskimos.
