Allen was born John Florence
Sullivan in Cambridge, Mass. He
changed his name early in his
career at the suggestion of his
agent, man named Allen.
Aliens cutting wit held few
subjects sacred. He liked to COM

inhabitants of "Allen's Alley"

work officials became particular
targets of his thruSts. He offered
to bond his listeners up to $4,000

Kremlin Shaken by Reports That
khrushchev Denounced Stain as
Murderer; Tiflis Riots RllmOred

LONDON, R-The Kremlin's
top lieutenants in London showed
signs of being shaken Saturday by
reports leaking out of Moscow
that Nikita Khrushchev de-
nounced Stain as a laundering
murderer.
The denunciation by the first
secretary of the Communist Party
was reported to have caused riots
in Tbilisi (Tiflis), in Stains home
state of Georgia, protesting the
discrediting of the one-time die
tator.
Georgi Malenkov, for years
Stains secretary and known as
his "eyes and ears" showed up
two hours late for an appointment
on his tour of British power sta
tions. The lack of punctuality is
unusual in Soviet official.
Malenkov, a deposed premier,
is here in his new role as Soviet
minister of power stations. One
report published here said Nal
enkov was personally mentioned
in Khrushchev's denunciation.
Lights blazed in MalenkoV's
room in the Soviet Embassy until
way past midnight Friday night.
A Soviet official said that he was
busy reading TRANSACTIONS of Brit
ish press dispatches saying that
Khrushchev had denounced Sta
lin in a secret session of the re-
cent Communist Party Congress
in Moscow.
A newsman asked Malenkov to
comment on the reports today. His
usual smiling self, Malenkov re-
piled: 81 have had no time to
study the report in detail"
Asked if he was still friendly
with Khrushchev, the Communists
Party boss, Malenkov replied test
lily: yes, of course l am still
friendly with him"

difficulty when he went to speak
to the natives there. They couldn' t
understand him. Strange as it
seems, all Eskimos do not speak
the same language. Dialects differ
from village to village and in var
ious sections of Alaska. After
mastering the language came the
task of interpreting the Bible
from English.
SlWooko claims the natives be-
lieved in some sort of a God, but
their religion was based mostly on
age old superstitions. These he
had to disprove, "for that is what
really shackled these people and
kept them from seeing the true
God"
Travelling by dog sled in winter
and skin boat in summer, he min
listers to the villages of Mekoryuk
and Nash Harbor. During these
tours he holds drill periods, usual
ly in the school house, for the
young men of the village.
This missionary soldier is also
an expert hunter and fisherman,
for he supplies his family, which
includes three children, with fish
and game for the long Alaskan
winters. An additional duty is
acting as island commissioner, IS
suing marriage certificates and
performing wedding ceremonies.
Sgt SlWooko is now attending
the National Guard Army Area
noncommissioned officers school
at Fort Richardson, instructing
and acting as student company
commander of the SIS Eskimo
Scouts attending the school. He
will return to NuniVak Island

MoscoW's new collective leader
Ship" Khrushchev presumably
was responsible for dropping NAL
enkov out of the premiership a
year ago.
The reports of the KhrushcheV
speech filtered through diplomatic
sources in Europe. So far, no di-
rect dispatches have come from
Western correspondents in Mos
COW. But the diplomatic reports
from Moscow pictured the Soviet
capital as ridden with rumors
about the Khrushchev speech on
the dead dictator.
A Yugoslav diplomatic source,
in one account, said KhrushcheV
confessed he himself lived in fear
of his life during Stains last
years. Khrushchev was said to
have made the statement to Mar
shall Tito in Belgrade last May,
when Khrushchev and Premier
Bulganin visited the Yugoslav
capital to WOO YugoslaVia back

Sgt. William Slwooko Left Comforts
OF Nome to Bring Gospel to Eskimos
On Nunivak, But Stayed With ANC
BY Sgt. Paul E. Morrill,

To give up his car, a comfort
able home and life in the city of
Nome, Alaska, for the rugged life
of preaching the Gospel and
teaching army subjects to fellow
Eskimos was the decision of Mas
ter Sergeant William SlWooko,
currently attending a National
Guard noncommissioned officers
school at Fort Richardson, Alaska.
Born on St. Lawrence Island,
Sgt. SlWooko was a reindeer herd
er at the age of IA. 1t was during
this period he started seriously to
think about God Alone with the
deer at night on the isolated tun-
Ora he often became frightened,
sometimes by wild animals, other
times by imaginary demons.
Drafted in 1912, he served in
the Air Force in the Aleutian Is
lands. He was discharged in 1945
and secured job as a civil ser
vice mechanic and welder with
the army in Nome. These service
learned trades afforded him the
opportunity of obtaining job as
foreman in the Alaska Commune
cation Systems motor pool in
Nome.
In 1949 he joined the National
Guard and became a member of
the lst Scout Battalion At this
time, he said, Il looked around
and saw how much l had -. and
I knew I had to do something to
show my thankfulness."
During the evenings and in
spare hours he started studying
theological books. He secured a
course from the Swedish Cove
nant Church in Nome and devoted
more evenings and spare time to
pursuing the course. Two years
ago he completed his study and
was accepted by the Church as a
missionary. He then accepted a
call which would take him to Nu-
nivak Island.
Sgt. Slwooko said he thought he
would have difficult time trying
to pursuade his wife to agree to
his plan and give up the luxuries
they had become accustomed to.
But his wife's reply was, 81 have
known for long time this would
happen . when can we leave?"
Wanting to remain with the Ma
tional Guard, he transferred to
the End Scout Battalion. Travelling
by native skin boat across the
Etolin Strait from Alaska to NUM-
wax Island, Slwooko met his first

Pension Raise
Urged BY Legion
Commander

GREENSBORO The legisla-
ton We seek on behalf of disabled
and aging veterans. and on behalf
Of the dependents and widows and
orphans of those who fought and
died for our country, is as justi-
fled as it is necessary" American
Legion National Commander J.
Addington Wagner of Battle Creek
Mich. declared in n address at
the Post and Unit Officers Con-
ference, here recently.
Commander Wagner said 'the
benefits We have asked the Con-
gleSs to approve are no more than
the minimum required and no
more than the minimum we can
afford"
The address was delivered at the
annual joint banquet b for dis
tinguiShed guests of the Ameri-
can Legion and Auxiliary attend
ing the annual conference of the
North Carolina Department.
Two days before his arrival in
Greensboro. Commander Wagner
appeared before the House Vet
Grams Affairs Committee of tn e
US. Congress in Washington to
outline the American Legion's s
principal legislative detectives in
this session of Congress.
BILL is TOP PRIORITY
Number One priority in the Le-
gion legislative program for 1856
is increased pension benefits. Com
mander Wagner told the Congress
sional committed:
l. THE current monthly pen
sion award is inadequate in the
light of today'S living costs. The
rates now paid are $66.15. $78.75
and maximum of $13545 for the
small number of veterans who are
blind or helpless and need attend
ance. We ask that these rates be
increased to $85, $105 and $3.50
respectively These increases are
modest. We believe they are real
lstic. We hope that your Commit
tee and the Congress will agree.
2. Presently the veteran apply
ing for Part III benefits is limited
to yearly income to S1,40O if he
has no dependents, and of $2,7O0 if
he has dependents. We request
that these limitations be increased
to 81 800 and $4,000.
3. by com monty accepted
standards, veteran at age SIS is
classed as having negligible en-
ployment potential.
I'VE therefore ask that the vet
Grams pension law recognize age
IS as the statutory age of unem-
ployability."
