Dulles, 3 Se.snfiators Confer on Crisis In Middle East

WASHINGTON, R-Secretary Dulles called three senators to the State Department for talk today on the Middle East. The admins tration was reported alarmed at the possibility of war there in "A to 48 hours. ~
 The senators were George (D- Ga), Fulbright D-Ark) and Lang CT R-ND).
 Department officials said that Dulles, in keeping with his policy during any international crisis, arranged the meeting to brief the lawmakers on what the United States is doing.
 George is chairman of the Sen ate Foreign Relations Committee Fulbright and Langer are mem bers of it.
 Officials are said to feel that only the highest order of Israeli Arab statesmanship could avert a Middle East explosion. They were looking mainly to Israel's Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, as the man who held the decision.
 However, officials were less pessimistic about the situation to- day than they were yesterday. They credited personal appeal by Eisenhower to Ben-Gurion, made public yesterday, with hay ing done much to help cool the situation.

Worlds Fattest Man
 Ends Summer Vacation Weighing 1,O41 Pounds

FISHHOOK, H., R-Robert Earl Hughes, who claims to be the worlds fattest man, has returned home from a summer tour with a circus where he fattened up to l,04l pounds.
 Because of his great bulk, the 30-year-old Hughes gets weighed only infrequently. For scaling purposes, he usually is brought 10 commercial scales in Fishhook aboard a truck from his farm home near here.
 Hughes heaviest weight before this summers tour was 946 pounds. Nobody thought to take his measurements at his latest weighing. But at 946 pounds, his waist was an almost unbelievable 115 inches.
 Other members of Hughes fam fly, including his father and two brothers, are average size persons. Hughes attributes his great bulk to a siege of whooping cough when he was two years old. He believes the paroxysms of cough ing somehow upset natures bal ance and glandular disorder re- suited.
 Around II pounds at birth, Hughes was up to $50 pounds when he was 10 years old.

Man Winning Battle With Nature
 In Recovery of Aleutian Scrap Iron

World War II.
 Already, converted LST Qand- ing ship, tanks) has brought 3,2O0 tons of wars leftovers to the port of Tacoma; more are coming in an operation which is expected to last three years.
 Handling the big job is General Metals of the Aleutians, which so far has concentrated most of it's activities on Adak, where American forces were garrisoned in large numbers during World War II. Many a serviceman re- members Adak as bleak, blowy and blankety--blank spot.
 The men who work up there now are agreed. So far, they say, winds up to 95 miles an hour have fallen barely short of blowing them into the sea. The snow and cold and more wind are not far off.
 But the first load to come in abourd the LST gave an indica- ton of what rewards can be ex- pected. It ranged from used ve- hiclular equipment to nuts and bolts. A forthcoming bargeload, scheduled to leave Adak early this week includes 25,000-pound anchors and 200 tons of assorted nails.

Grady Carothers is one of the few reindeer herders south of the Arctic Circle-on this continent at least-and he left Fairbanks recently with IA more animals to add to his growing string.
 Carothers picked up his reindeer at Unalakleet, where they cost him $l50 a head, slightly more than reindeer were going for in his previous buying trips.

 Carothers operates and owns the animal concession at Santa's Village near Lake Arrowhead in the mountains behind Los Ange- les.
 During it's first year of opera ton, this year-around Christmas mecca for children and adults had over 100000 visitors. Carothers anticipates that 100000 persons will see, be pulled by and will fondle his growing herd of rein deer.
 Every day Carothers uses a team of reindeer to pull a sleigh. which is actually driven by an electric motor around the village.
 His deer breed and thrive in the temperate mountain air of the village. But business is expanding so rapidly Carothers expects to be back in. Alaska getting more stock.
 Actually, he splits up his herd and sends strings out on tour turnout the west. Last year each team averaged about 13,000 miles on their fall jaunts.

Stevenson and Kefauver Meet on
National Radio-TV Program in Miami

Adlai Stevenson and Sen. Este.
Kefauver, rivals for the Demo.
cratic presidential nomination
found themselves in broad agree
ment on domestic and foreign pol
icy campaign issues yesterday.
The two contenders held an
amiable discussion on a national
radioTV program Monday night
in Miami. A hint of acrimony
crept in only once.
Kefauver gently chided Steven
son for having said earlier that
the Tennessean had been away
from the Senate on a number of
occasions.
Kefauver said he thought Ste
venson also quite likely had been
away from his job as governor of
Illinois during the 1852 campaign
when Stevenson unsuccessfully
sought the presidency.
Stevenson offered an apology.
He said he had mentioned the alb
sences only in answer to a report
er'S question as to why Kefauver
''had so little support among
fellow senators.
Both candidates emphasized the
necessity of renewed efforts to
gain a lasting peace and the need
for American leadership. They
agreed more federal attention
must be given the farm problem.
Both agreed generally that the
issue can be solved in
line with Supreme Court direc-
tives as they approached their
only southern primary test a week
from yesterday in Florida.
Both seek that states % Demo-
cratic convention votes in the
next to last big test before the
convention in August.
They also are opposed in the June
5 fight for CALIFORNIA; SO Demo-

Both saw the dropping by the

in the Pacific Sunday as a re-
hinder of the vital necessity of

Seven white Alice
Sites to be Built In
Alaska This Year

Seven more White Alice install
lationS-adding to the network Of
backbone circuits which support
the Alaska Air Defense-are to be
constructed this summer under
supervision of the Alaska District
Corps of Engineers.
The total cost will approximate
$5,0O0,000.
The sites are Sparrevohn, In
dian Mountain, Unalakleet, Sit
kinak, Middleton Island, Kodiak
and Bethel. And the construction
schedule is tight and difficult as
beneficial occupancy of the prin-
cipal building is required in about
four months from the date of
contract award" Col. Carl Y.
Farrell, Alaska District Engineers,
said
"Airlift of considerable equip
ment will be required to meet
the schedule. Some of the heavy
government furnished material to
be used in the projects is in Ia
coma and can be transported by
barge to the sites Or to ports for
transshipment by railroad" he
said. The Air Force may fly
equipment too heavy for COM
mercial planes.
The work at all sites consists of
construction of an equipment
building, installation of diesel en-
gines and generators, erection of
steel towers and antennae, COM
munications cables from nearby
Air Force Station and other work.
Each site has its own construc-
ton problems.
Bethel is on permanently frozen
ground. Structures are built on
steel H" piles with steel shapes
for floor foundations furnished by
the government. Bethel is Access
Sible by barge.
Sparrevohn, about $50 miles
west of Anchorage, and Indian
Mountain, 200 miles northwest of
Fairbanks, are reached by air
only.
At Unalakleet, a road will have
to be built across 10 miles of
tundra but gravel is available
near the site. A river will have
to be bridged on rock filled cribs.
In addition to the equipment, a
4,50O So. #. dormitory will be
constructed and a tower erected
at nearby Air Force station.
Bids will be opened June 8 at
IL am. in the Seattle branch of
the Alaska District Corps of En-
gineers, Abs E. Marginal Way.
