Wilson's Message
Secretary Of Defense Wilson, in
a written message, outlined the adj
ministration view:
First, the recommended defense
level combines safety with economic
realism. Second, American defense
will be pegged to "a tremendous
striking power" large enough to
scare the Communists out of attack
ing-or large enough to wreck Rus
sia's war potential If she does attack.
There must also be ready reserve
of 2.9 million men and an adequate
continental defense. Small, local ag-
gressions will be handled by joint
local defense efforts.
Admiral Arthur w. Radford,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs OF
Staff, agreed Fundamentally with
Mr.. Wilson. Gen. Lemuel c. Shep-
herd, jr., Marine Corps commandment,
and Admiral Robert B. Carney,
Chief of Naval Operations. went
along with Mr.. Wilson. but said they

Another administration official
who tangled with a Congressman
lost q clear-cut decision last week.
The reason why Edward j. Corsi,
deputy administrator Of the Refugee
Relief Act, lost was not too clear,
but he was undeniably on his way
out.
It started about three months
ago when MIR. Corsi came to the
State Department from New York to
straighten out administration of the
McCarran- Walter immigration Act.
Secretary Dulles said happily that
his "old friend" was the best quail
fed man" to get the act working.
But Mr.. Corsi was outspokenly
critical Of the act; and the acts CO.

A Criminal, but No One
Paws Much Attention

The new Secretary for Peace"
and the Senate Government Opera
lions Committee decided to coexist
last week after series Of meetings
at the summit.
The principals were Harold E.
Stassen, wearing the hat Of foreign
operations administrator. and John
L. Mcclellan, chairman Of the COM
niittee. The Senators wanted to
know why the FOA had chosen to
negotiate with a group which sub
mitted the highest bid for some
Pakistan grain elevators. Mr..
Stassen didn't mind talking 1t over,
but insisted his staff members could
not be questioned unless he or an
FOA lawyer were present. He main
tanned, further, that he himself was
not under subpoena from the COM
mittee, despite the fact that a pro-
cess server had tried to stuff sub
poena into Mr.. Stassen's pocket.
The weeks action opened with a
harmony conference. After 80 min
utes, agreement was announced. Mr..
Stassen would appear. FOA per-
sonnet could bring lawyer to an
open hearing at any time or to a
closed interview when national Sc
curity" matters were discussed.
War Breaks Out
Cold war again broke out the fol-
lowing day. Mr.. Stassen agreed to
start all over again in Pakistan, but
he refused to produce several docu-
ments relating to the incident. Then
Senator Joseph r. Mccarthy. mi
nority member of the committee, &C
cused Mr.. Stassen repeatedly Of COM
hitting a crime, namely, perjury. ut
was interesting to note that such a
serious accusation by a Senator
against an official of cabinet rank
went virtually unnoticed. Mr.. Stas-
sen just smiled; Senator Mcclellan
observed mildly that he didn't care
to 90 into an entirely collateral
matter" Senator Mccarthy was
left with his accusation and no
place to go.)
Harmony was re-established the
following day after Mr.. Stassen and
Senator Mcclellan conferred again.
This time Mr.. Stassen agreed to pro-
duce the documents. or, If they were
highly classified, let the Senator
examine them in private.
Mr.. Stassen. who had retreated .
good distance, left the field main
tanning, however, they never had
succeeded in subpoenaing him.

His Finest Hour

There is no real doubt that Sir
Winston's finest hour was what ne
has called all Britain's finest hour.
It came in 1910, when Hitler made
his colossal miscalculation OF trying
to destroy the British spirit instead
of the British tools to fight.
There were times when practically
the only thing that stood between
Hitler and London was the massive
courage of Prime Minister Churcnlu.
Those were the days of his inspiring
speeches.
On June 4, 1910, just after the
Dunkirk retreat, the dean OF Can
terbury stood by grimly as the For
mer Naval Person told the world:
1--WE shall fight on the beaches. we
shall fight on the landing grounds,
we shall fight in the fields and In
the streets"
Then, according to the dean, Mr..
Churchill covered the microphone
with his hand and remarked IN an
aside: :" and we will hit them
over the heads with beer bottles.
which is all we have really got"
Still, the British fought on. as
the Prime Minister put 1t. with
hardship their garment. until Soviet
Russia and the United States were
drawn into the great conflict" until
1.-THE power of the Grand Alliance
became preponderant." until "Nazi
Germany was isolated and assailed
III ssinev opd fha great
democracies triumphed."
Mr.. Churchill was 66 when he hit
his peak in 1940-getting oldish by
usual standards. But, as Historian
Arnold Toynbee pointed out. Winnie
had been slow to grow. His secret
was that he never has stopped grow
ing. There was no peak at. say 40.
and then downhill coasting. He
has just kept coming and coming.

his political opposition) as a worthy

old Sir Winston took a lot OF 2Otn

At the week end Sir winston

loving his own obituaries from

deprived the grand old man OF the
round of applause they would nave
rendered. On the other hand. the
coincidence might also have spared
him a few poignant reminders OF
the long way he has come ana the
short way he has to go.
World Impact
All the world paused last week to
measure the impact Of the man on
the world.
Q AS much as any one man. ne had
rid the globe Of Hitler's Fasclst
menace.
0 He probably had saved many
millions from slavery. first under
Hitler and later under the Kremiin.
q He had enriched the historical
literature of the world as few men
had since Caesar.
World Reaction
The Germans. who had CHALLENGED
this British lion only Is years carrier
and lost, displayed little bitterness
on the occasion. Instead, most OF
them volunteered admiring COM
ments.
The Communists rendered him
their highest compliment by con-
demning his every deed. They could
not forgive, Of course, the lifelong
enrnity of this man who invented
the graphic term Iron Curtain"
The free world paid him unstint-
ing homage. Both President Eisen-
hover and Sir Anthony Eden IN
sisted that they still must have
access to his judgment, built on SO
many years "at the summit" OF
world affairs.

Exhibit by Nome School Prepared For Nat. Ed. Assn.

Nome School, under the leader ship of Mrs. w. Cameron, has pre- pared an exhibit to be shown at the National Education Associa- tion conference in Chicago in July.
 Three large panels were pre- pared, approximately 72 square feet in area. The exhibit has been mailed to Anchorage and will be mounted by Mrs. Jack ScaveniuS, who plans to be in Chicago for the convention.
 The theme of the first panel was Nome, with papers and draw ings illustrating and relating it's historical background. A very unusual map was drawn showing natural resources and animal life of the Second Division. Wild flow CTS and a charcoal drawing of a proSpector showing actual gold dust in his pan, completed the first panel.
 Eskimos of 1855 was the theme of the other two panels. One con- tained interesting miniature ex- amples of Eskimo clothing and craft work, small kayak, a sewing kit, luncheon cloth, woven mats, small carved ivory Billi- kin, and other objects. Most of these were made by the fifth and sixth grades.
 One panel was pen and ink sketches, water color or charcoal drawings depicting Eskimos at work, at home and at play. Sev- eral interesting photographs of native games were donated by MT. Sam Mogg Sr The sixth, sev- enth and eighth grades did most of the art work. Scientific data was also drawn on graphs.

Nome School Superintendent William Angell plans to attend the convention and exhibition.
 Other Alaskan schools will be represented. Anchorage will have special paper mache objects and textile paintings. Juneau plans to send four panels depicting some of the territory's most modern schools, made under the direction of the commissioner of education.
 From Ketchikan will come model of the famous pulp mill "that is, if it's small enough to take with us" laughs Mrs. Scave- nius-and material describing it's operation.
 'Cordova will be represented by a miniature gillnetting operation, with two tiny fishermen figures.
 The lon base" school at Kodiak is sending display depicting the huge Kodiak bears, while Kodiak city school is sending real crab to be the central attraction at the Alaska exhibit.
 Other communities planning to contribute to the display include Sitka, Chugiak, and Homer, which has already donated two home stealing puppets and their log cabin home, made by Homer teacher Gay Adams.
 Films of Alaska will be shown at night during the convention through the courtesy of North west Orient Airlines, Mrs. Scave- nius explained.

Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALvERsoN

The return of summer to the Northland with it's -increas- ing amount of sunlight will soon hide the stary heavens from view.
 Looking ahead into the future, there will be a total eclipse of the sun on June 19, 1855. It will only be visible to people in the Southern Hemisphere. The path of the eclipse will be in the Indian Ocean about 600 miles north of Madagascar. It will pass close to the Marshall and Fiji Islands. The eclipse will be visible to people living in the northern half of Australia.
 The sun will be at the summer solstice on June 21st. Summer sol stice is the time that the sun reaches it's greatest declination north. It is the time of the year most favorable for northward flights to see the midnight sun.
 Planets will continue their reg ular movements and by December Venus will be shining in the west soon after sunset while in the past year it has been visible in the east.

Agriculture IN Iran

from agriculture and its by-products
than from any other industry.
Since Iran is surrounded by noun
tains with an arid plain-like plateau
in the center, much of the farming Of
Iran is confined to the mountain val
Ieys and along the few rivers which may
be used for irrigation. Salt is a prob
lem in many places in addition to the
lack of adequate water. The more roll
ing lands and mountain sides are used
for livestock grazing with the tribal
people migrating from the valleys in
the winters to the mountains in the
summers.
The rivers of Iran are generally small
and frequently dry in the summer time
when irrigation water is most needed.
The Caspian Sea region along the north
foothills of the Elburys Mountain range
is considered to be the garden spot
of Iran because of its climate and high
rainfall, but this constitutes only very
small part of Iran.
Iran in general is not noted for its
greenness but instead for its brown.
sparsely covered and vegetated rolling
hills or plains. One wonders, when driv-
ing over them, how even goats can
find anything on which to feed and
survive.
Principal Crops
The principal crops produced in Iran
are wheat, barley, rice. fruits, gums,
drugs, tea, tobacco. cotton and vege-
tables. About 81 per cent of the cult
waited land is used to grow wheat and
barley with about per cent more in
rice, 4 per cent in vegetables and Is
per cent in fruit and nut trees.
The sugar beet is a relatively new
crop, like tea, in Iran but strenuous
effort is being made to decrease the
need for imported sugar by increasing
local production There are now II
sugar factories ready to operate and
at least one more under construction.
However, the acreage of sugar beets
is still only about the same as that Of
peoples for opium production. The
UpllA1l4 WHICH - EIOQuICO - DcAA ~ -
of high quality containing more NOR
phine than that produced in India and
China. All opium produced must be
sold to the government, according to
law, but it is a recognized fact that
much of it is struggled into illicit
channels of trade and a great deal
consumed in Iran.
Lack of Water
The chief limiting factor in agricul-
tural production in Iran is lack of ade-
quate water. Almost all sections of the
country require irrigation for salts
factory crop production. excepting in
the Caspian Sea region where the rain
fall may reach as much as 80 inches
annually. and even there the rainfall
is not well distributed.
Reference will be made later to the
methods of irrigation The soils of Iran
are generally lacking in humus so that
maximum use cannot be made OF the
water which is available. The straw
produced in cereal crop production is
never turned under for organic matter
but is either used for livestock feed,
