Hunters Bag Big Polar
Bear Off King Island

Bob Curtiss, former Nome man
ager Of Alaska Airlines, who now
operates his own Cessna 1876, d
5-place plane for Alaska sports
men and charter service, arrived
last week on his first polar bear
expedition.
CurtiSS has maintained that it
is not necessary to 60 to the "far
north" for bear as he knows they
are available in the vicinity of
Nome, having. bagged one of the
largest ever caught near here
last year.
With Curtiss are Louis Kincaid
and Bob Gregor Of Anchorage,
and they got their first bear on
Monday off King Island. The two
were landed on the ice after they
had spotted the bear from air and
they proceeded to get him.
The trophy measured about 10
feet and the hunters reported
it took over two hours to skin.
The hunters planned to 60 out
over the ice again.

would run away. This I have seen
happen many times.
An arrangement which seems to me
would be agreeable to both parties
chose who want the dogs to run free
and those who object to their freedom)
would be to set certain time for the
dogs to run and time for them to
be chained up. For instance, why not
let them run from o'clock to o'clock
in the mornings, and from 8 o'clock
to 10 o'clock at night? This surely
would be hitting happy medium. The
dogs could have their daily exercise
and would not give their owners the
trouble and inconvenience of having to
walk them on leash. After all, we
have time regulations for so many
other things, why not a time regula-
ton for when the dogs can run free?
If the plan I have suggested were
adopted, the whole daytime would be
free from dogs and any found running
loose then could be picked up.
A meeting is to be held at the Strait
ford School, 400 North Vacation lane
in Arlington, on March at 8 pm. for
the purpose of discussing this subject,
and urge people interested to attend.

parent, and the Commissioners decision to
coordinate and effectuate the program
through a new "Office of Urban Renewal"
Is wise and practical one.
AS the conSultants pointed out in their
optimistic report to the Commissioners, a
successful attack on Washington's slums
and potential slums will require not only
wholehearted public support but the closest
kind of cooperation by the various public
agencies concerned with slum clearance,
housing and redevelopment in general. To
achieve the degree of cooperation and CO.
ordination essential to attainment OF the
10-year objective will require positive lead
ership at top level Of Government. The
new Office, as recommended by Engineer
Commissioner Lane, will be charged with
providing such leadership. With establish
ment of the general headquarters" the
first important step in the city-wide war on
urban decay will have been completed.

Red Rout in India

AS far as India is concerned, few things
could be more gratifying or more reassuring
than the crushing political defeat suffered
by the Communists In the elections just
held in the state of Andhra. And the credit
for this belongs In large measure to Prime
Minister Nehru, who once again-despite
his international "neutralism," which some
times seems to favor the acknowledging
axis-has proved himself to be an uncom-
promising and effective foe of the Kremlin-
serving Reds in his own country.
Prior to the calling of the elections,
Andhra, which is poverty ridden state OF
about 81 million people in southeast India,
had legislature Of 40 members. OF this
total, As were Communists and As belonged
to Mr.. Nehru's Congress Party, but the for
mer had strength and influence far beyond
their numbers, and all signs indicated that
they were we'll on their way toward persuad-
ing the voters to give them an absolute
majority and complete political control OF
the entire region But that was before Mr..
Nehru and his followers got busy and Or
ganized an anti-Red coalition whose candi-
dates staged a far-ranging campaign OF
great vigor and enlightenment
AS result, in Andhra's expanded 1907
member legislature, the Communists now
have only seats, and the Congress coalition
including the Peoples and Farmers
Parties-haS an overwhelming majority. In
short, the states II million voters have
inflicted on the Reds political defeat OF
the first magnitude, and these willing tools
of the Kremlin have been so stunned by
the event that they have yet to figure out
what line of face-saving propaganda they
should follow. Some of them have tried
to explain everything away by crying
fraud" but they have done this weakly
and hesitantly, as If fully aware that no
Indian in his right mind will believe them.
Fraud, of course has had no bearing on
the sweeping nature of the Andhra outcome
"a landslide victory for Mr.. Nehru's fol-
lowers. The Communists have been routed
primarily because the ground was cut from
under them by an opposition thoroughly
successful in exposing them as enemies of
liberty, and decent way of life. The coali-
ton headed by the Congress Party thus
merits the highest commentator. If sim
liar campaigning is carried on elsewhere IN
the country and If there Is vigorous follow
up action to promote economic progress,
India ought to have little difficulty in coping
with its internal Red threat, and the Sc
curity Of free Asia as whole should be
strengthened accordingly

Plaza Merry-Go-Round

Highway and park planners reached
agreement with surprising promptness on
the need for drastic traf1c-relief measures
at Union Station Plaza. The expeditions
approval by the National Capital Planning
Commission on Highway Department plans
for eliminating merry go-round conditions
at the Capitals rail gateway attests the
gravity of the problem. Bridges and malls
cry for attention, too, but the commission
nevertheless has found time to give It's bless
ing to proposed cure for the plaza head
ache. Dizzy motorists victimized by the
unique maelstrom will bless park and high
way planners alike
Confusion COMPOUNDED long has pre-
vailed at the big circle in front Of the
terminal The first sight to greet arriving
visitors there Is enough to send them fleeing
back to their trains. The overall impress
sion is one Of all sorts of traffic proceeding
in all degrees of the compass, mostly In
concentric circles and in opposite directions.
Taking part in the mad whirl are streetcars,
buses, taxicabs, trucks and just plain pas
senger cars. Myriad traffic lights flash
seemingly conflicting signals to cars and
pedestrians, as brakes screech, horns blow
and tratnc Jams develop.
District highway and traffic experts
have labored long over this master bottle
neck and accident generator and have come
up with what they hope will be substantial
palliative, If not an about cure. Traffic
counts have shown that a third Of the
$1,000 cars that enter the plaza every day
are just passing by the station. The plan is
to divert these 10000 or so cars into new
channels that will carry them past the
menacing whirligig without becoming en-
tangled in it. This will take lot of chan
neling, but the Highway Department thinks
its plan will do the trick. 1t involves the
widening of number of key thoroughfares
in the plaza area and Encouragement of
the basic traffic pattern. Then motorists
who venture into the plaza itself will be
doing so deliberately and at their own risk.
