fashioned and frequently messy
hand-dip post office pen will be a
thing of the past in the next six

LONDON, R-Russia rejected

balloons have flown over Ameri-
can territory.
A government note broadcast
by Moscow radio challenged the
United States to produce any So

territory.
Russia had protested that cam

and endangering air traffic. The
US. said they were weather bal
looms.
Russia repeated its earlier
charges that captured US. wealth
er balloons contained cameras as
we'll as radio transmitterS.
AS to the us. charge that Sow
ct balloons had appeared over
American territory, the note said:
These assertions run counter
to the facts. Soviet organs have
not launched and are not launch
ing aerostats balloons into the
air space of the United States or
any other country.
"Inasmuch as the United States
note contains different assertions,
however, it would perhaps be adj
visable for the sake of truth to
arrange simultaneously displays
of both American balloons inter
cepted in the Soviet Union and of
Soviet aerostats allegedly in the
possession of the United States
government"

Russia Denies US. Claim That Its
Balloons Have Flown Over Alaska
Despite Evidence Found Near Nome

FAIRBANKS, R-The u. S.
Weather Bureau of Fairbanks In
ternational Airport Saturday in
sisted, despite Russian denials,
that Russian weather balloon ap-
paratus has been found in Alaska.
A spokesman for the bureau
said he personally has inspected a
set of recording equipment COM
monty tied to balloons sent up by
weathermen all over the world.
Bore Soviet Markings
He said the weather sounding
devices, bearing Soviet markings,
have been found on the Seward
Peninsula near Nome as well as
one he saw which was found near
Galena, 300 miles west of Fair
banks two or three years ago.
The equipment, the spokesman
said, was turned over to the Air
Force.
Soviets Safe In Demand
The weatherman said the Soviet
Union was safe in its demands for
the remains of a Russian balloon
found in Alaska. He explained the
balloon "skin" expands to one
one miIlionth of an inch at an al
titude of 10000 to $4,000 feet be-
fore it freezes and skaters Unto
a million pieces"
When the tiny fragments fall
to the ground, he said, they are
so minute and so scattered it
would be impossible to pick them
up.
Prevailing westerly winds, the
bureau spokesman said, carry the
balloons across the Boring Strait
from weather stations in Siberia.

Businessmen Warned
About Phoney Labor
Paper Ad Soliciting

Montana businessmen should be
wary of high-pressure advertising
statesmen claiming to represent of
ficial AFL-CIO publications, James
S. TIMBER, president of Montana
AFL-CIO, said today.
Umber's statement was made fol-
lowing being advised by Helena
businessman that he had been
hooked" for 500 ad via long
distance telephone by a fast-talk-
ing salesman claiming to represent
an official labor publication printed
in New York City.
HWhile some international and
district union publications do solicit
commercial advertising, the official
publications of the AFL-CIO neith-
err solicit or accept such advertis.
ing" TIMBER said, in issuing his
warning to Montana businessmen.
'Tn Montana" he continued,
there is only one labor publica-
ton of union affiliated with the
AFL-CIO, of general distribution
which accepts commercial advertis-
ing. That publication is THE UN-
ION REGISTER, official pubI;ca-
ton of the Lumber & SawmiIl
Workers Union which has wide cir
culation in the lumber-producing
counties of northwest Montana.
TIMBER suggested that Montana
business people should they be
solicited for advertising on the
representation that such advertis-
ing would appear in an official
AFL-CIO union publication, first
contact state AFL-CIO headquart-
ers in Helena before placing an
ad. "Such a course of action may
we'll save the solicited businessman
a considerable amount of money"
TIMBER concluded.
