Jerome Trigg Hurt in Blast
 At Marine Base

CAMP PENDLETON, Calif., H A dud artillery shell exploded in a mess line at this Marine Corps training base Monday, in turing 33 enlisted men, one crit ically, and shattering windows in the mess hall.
 One of the injured was Pvt Jerome J. Trigg of Nome.
 An unidentified Marine, who arrived at the scene, in the 5th Marine Regiment area, said one of the injured had a gaping wound in the back.
 "I'm surprised none was killed,'' he said. 'I saw lot of men lying on the ground, with other Marines giving them first aid. It looked like a major blast had occurred.
 Marine officers said about 12 of the injured were kept at the camp hospital for X rays and treatment but were not seriously injured.
 The dud artillery shell was be- lieved to have been picked up by one of the Marines for souvenir.
 "He was showing it to his bud dy in the mess line," a spokesman for the 1st Marine Division said, when he dropped it and 1t ex- ploded." The spokesman said the exact nature of the shell had not been determined but it was of small caliber. A board of inquiry has been called.
 All of the 33 injured were at tached to the 5th Marine Regi- ment of the 1st Marine Division. The regiment returned to San Diego from Korea last month.

Chou En-Lai Claims China Being Subverted By United States

BANDUNG, Indonesia, R-Red China'S Premier Chou En-lail yes terday told the Asian African Conference his country is not in terested in "subversive activities" but instead is being "subverted by the United States of America. !"
 "If you do not believe this" he told the delegates, then you can send representatives to China to take look. You are all welcome. !"
 Chou continued: "We do not hide the fact that we believe in Communism. But this is not meeting to discuss ideologies but to seek common ground and not great divergencieS."
 Communist China, he said, had come to Bandung ready to com ply with the decisions of the sponsoring nations, and not to raise other questions.
 ''We have no proposals" Chou asserted. "China could raise the question of the liberation of Tai wan Formosa) and the neighbor- ing islands. We could have made criticism of the unfair treatment of China in the United Nations but we are not going to do that"
 Aside from the charge of US. subversion, most of Chou's speech followed conciliatory line.

B & R of Kotzbue Gets Contract To Operate R.R. Boats On Yukon

ANCHORAGE, Apr. Is, R- The B & R Tug and Barge Co. o1 Kotzebue has been awarded . contract for operation of the Alas ka Railroads Yukon and Tanana riverboats, officials of the rail- road said today.

 Transfer of the riverboat opera tionS from the railroad to private hands marks the end of a 20-year era of government management of the facility which handled freight hauls from Panama north to Fort Yukon and south to Marshall.
 Former railroad manager Frank Kalbaugh said the operation had been "a money-losing proposition for the railroad, but he expected that experienced riverboat people would be able to make it finan- o;o1lxy cr,oooccfrrl

Sen. Charles Jones Has Clean in Eve
 For Alaska Oil and Gas Prospects

, SEATTLE, R-A lifetime ir quest of Lady Luck in the golo country, 80-year-old Sen. Charles Jones of Nome has a gleam in his eye for the oil prospects of Alaska
 Actually, the veteran legisla- tors partial switch of affections is symbolic of the feeling of the times in Alaska, where hopes are riding high for development of an oil and gas industry.
 Jones and his oil optimism were the subject of a lengthy story in a Seattle newspaper Tuesday after he had, in a letter, taken the edi- tor to task for what he contended was the newspapers failure to recognize Alaska's new gas and oil potential and give sufficient attention to it.
 Jones, the oldest member of the Territorial Legislature, came to Seattle after the recent legislative session on what he described as a combination business and pleas ure trip.
 In an interview with a reporter, the man who served in the first Alaska legislature in 1913 and was president of the 1853 Senate spoke as enthusiastically about oil prospects as he would have about gold when he went to Nome 55 years ago in the hope of striking a rich gold streak.
 There's an area up there twice the size of the State of Pennsyl- vania that want to stake for oil" he declared, "just as soon as can get an oil shark (engineer) to fly over it for me and tell me where to stake it."
 He added that from seepages, I know there are good possibili- ties up there"
 But the old-timer from Nome hasn't lost his zest for mining yet, either. Not only does the gold fever still run deep, but he is hopeful about his prospects for strategic metals that in this era may be worth more than gold.
 He has ore samples with him for check with mining interests here.
 And the veteran home-spun philosopher added:
 I'm going to keep at it until I die. I'd rather drop dead working than to die sleeping in the best bed ever made"

House Passes Bill to Let Officers Keep $1,683,189 in Subsistence

WASHINGTON, R-The House Monday passed and sent to the Senate a bill 10 let 1,737 Army, Navy and Air Force officers keep $1,683,189 in subsistence pay ments received while on duty in Alaska.
 The payments were made to the officers between Feb. l, 1949, and Oct. 12, 1850, while they were sta- toned at Elmendorf Air Force Base and Ft Richardson.
 The General Accounting Office subsequently, ruled the payments invalid.
 The Budget Bureau recom- mended enactment of the forgiv- ing legislation, saying that to re- quire refund of the money now would appear to impose an un- due financial hardship"
 The bill also provides for re- imbursement of officers who pre- viously made refunds based or the General Accounting Office ruling.

"TIN GOOSE PLANES USED AT
PC AIRPORT FEATURED IN STORY

Port Clinton and its airport
come in for national publicity in a
story in the current issue of Coro-
net magazine, titled "Tin Goose Of
The Airways", featuring the Ford
trimotors of a quarter century ago
which are in use here.
Author David Weiss, calling at
tention to the fact that two of the
planes affectionately known as
Tin Goose" are in service here,
says that 80 of the 1876 such planes
Henry Ford manufactured from
1925 to 1888 are still being flown
commercially today. Most are on
pay routes in Central and South
America where they bring chicle
out of the jungle and fly back
Diesel oil and mining machinery,
he says. Several, equipped with
skis, are in service in the Arctic;
two are used to spray crops in
Idaho and Montana and six others
carry parachuting fire fighters for
the U. S. Forestry Service.
Describing some of the work the
"Tin Goose" does locally, the ar
ticle quotes Harold Hauck, chief
pilot, as saying: Greatest plane in
the world Whoever designed it
sure knew his business" The origi-
nal designer of the trimotor an
nounced from Detroit last year
that 100 planes selling for under
100000 apiece would be built,
with no change in the original de-
sign except to take into account
today's engines which are smaller
and more powerful.

In early America, civilization
rode the beaver clear to Oregon
and California, and the Ohio
shore of Lake Erie was start
ing point on this international
push westward.
1t was the rich fur trade, based
on beaver skins, that led the
French westward through Can
ada and the British westward
through what is now the eastern
United States. AS the beaver
diminished north of Lake Erie,
La Sale, who held fur trade
monopoly at his trading post
above the Lachine rapids of The
St. Lawrence River, launched his
famed explorations southwark.
Today as one drives across
Ohio along Routes 20 or 6, which
follow closely the Lake Trail of
the Indians, it is difficult to be-
lieve that three centuries ago
this populous country was known
only to the Indians who hunted
here and that two European ma
tions would fight bitterly over its
possession in the French and
Indian War.
La Sale, probably the first
white man to see Ohio, left Mont
real with a party in seven ca
noes on July 6, 1862 Two and
half months later, they landed
on the Ohio shore of Lake Erie
and struck inland to small Iro-
Quois Indian village toward the
head of the Grand River valley,
possibly not far from the present
city of Warren, Ohio. There he
met Joliet. Some of La Salle's
party established headquarters
near the mouth of the Chagrin
River and spent the winter in a
