Bankruptcy and War?", MT. Castle is equally concerned with the 57 billion dollars we have given to foreign nations in the past eleven years, and the desire of the Ad- miniStrati0n to continue foreign aid indefinitely-aS indicated in the Presidents request for Con greSsional authority to make long term" commitments in this field.
 The speaker cited long list of our ridiculous eXtravagances in foreign aid, and summed up with words that somehow seem especi- ally appropriate to Faneuil Hall. And so 1t goes merrily on, while our Federal debt sourS to the skies. Today our indebtedness equals the value of all the land, homes, factories, machinery, cars, every thing of tangible value with in the United States. And that is the best reason I can give you why we can no longer uphold the world and hold ourselves together And it is the best reason I can give you why no more billions should be appropriated for for eign aid. It should be ended with the seven billion dollars already in the pipeline. in Washington.
 After that we should remove the pipes!"

Congtratulations are in order.

Congratulations are in order.
 When new enterprise is start ed, and a good job is made Of it, we like to voice a hearty congratu- lations. The M/V Expansion s Skipper, Capt Neils -Thomsen, is the Editor, and he and members of his crew have done an excellent job on the first issue of a news paper for the Aleutian chain l. is entitled The Mailboat Monl- tor" l"
 The little four page paper is crammed full of news of the Aleu-, tian Island villages, and is writ ten in spritely manner, with a laugh here and there. Its general tone is one of honey friendlineSs, even to the point of a lovelorn column.
 Page three, entitled Chain Gang" covered the Aleutian quite we'll with news of people in the remote areas of Chignik, Perry vile, Standpoint, Unga, Belkofski, Paulof Harbor, Aktutan, Shernof- ski, Cold Bay and Nikolski. It was interesting to read about these places, many of which we have become familiar with from our own mailing list.
 Many of our subscribG.s in these remote villages are going to be surprised to learn the Kodiak Mirror is no longer published. and still, more than likely, receive copies of same along with the Monitor. It was either wishful thinking on someone's part, or neg ligence in checking the facts, but the Monitor gave out the informa- tion the Kodiak Mirror has sus- pended publication. This is about as far from the truth as one can get, as our staff has been working little harder than usual this past month or so with two to four extra pages to each addition. The

Don'ts On Persons Going Swimming

Chief of Police Vickery, who served as lifeguard on several Eastern beaches, has submitted the following entitled ''Don'ts On Persons Going Swim ming"
 1. After strenuous exercise, rest and cool off before going swimming.
 2. Know your limitations and stay within them.
 3. Never swim alone: Always have another swimmer with you.
 4. Obey all warning signs. They are there for your proeection.

Mailboat Crew Edits
 New Chain Newspaper

Monitor staff, we know, will en- joy putting out a paper but they will also find writing the news isn't enough. Separating the facts from the hearsay is as much of the job of reporter as the re- porting. Anyway, as Mark Twain once said, when he read his own obituary, the rumor has been grossly exaggerated"
 A "FriendShip Club" has been started by the crew of the Expan- sion. Pictures of single men and women, eligible for matrimony, are being taken in the various viii lages along the mailboat course. These in turn are put in a folder with the names, ages and villages under each picture, The folder is posted in the salon on board the ship, for all to see and get the nee essary information to start cores bonding. Instead of wedding bells to beckon you,. listen for three long blasts of the ships whistle, go down to the ship, and pick your future mate.
 The first couple to be married by this means will have little ex- pense connected with it, as the Expansions owners will pay all the wedding costs. The Club has just been started, and already has about twenty-two people in, divid- ed evenly between girls and boys. The Club was started, according to the paper, because some will lages have more girls than boys, and in others the situation is re verSed.
 The paper started, according to the Editor, to save answering questions about people in other villages along the route. After reading the first edition, it seems there are going to be more ques- tions asked and answers to be giv- en than heretofore.

- the ocean is washing away valu- able digging sites; old-timers in local villages, who have memories of a different culture and who know the old myths, are rapidly dying off without a record of their knowledge being made; reports of burial caves and mummies on the island are not being investigated; strange rock carvings at Alitak and AfOgnak have been only frag- mentarily reported on; nearly POO old village digging sites go unex- plored, with many secrets of the reportedly cannibalistic ancient race of the island locked under ground.
 These were the charges advanc- ed by Donald Clark, recent gradu- ate of the University of Alaska and son of MT. and Mrs. Basil Clark of this city, at the regular meeting of the Kodiak and Aleu- tian Islands Historical Society Tuesday night at the high school.
 What makes it worse, he said, is that so much dependency must be placed on the excavations of Dr. Ales Hrdlicka at Uyak Bay which are reported in his famed book The Anthropology of Ko- diak Island" Quoting other ex- pertS in the field to back his con tention, Mir. Clark said Dr. Hrd- licka'S methods of uncovering sites and recording information during his explorations on Kodiak Island did not meet the present eXacting standards of archaeology, with the results that much of the facts were not properly related. Also pr. Hrdlicka's habit of attach ing imaginative labels and guesses to many of his finds may be mis- leading
 The local historical society, Mir. Clark said, should adopt a long range plan to make surveys, in cluding photos, of all the island sites 50 as to interest digging par ties from the major universities to come to this area He also rec commended salvage excavations in partially destroyed sites to acquire artifacts for the proposed muse um. He said, further, excavations should be made on the north, mid dle and south ends because of the differences of culture within the Kodiak Island area. AS an example he cited the discovery of pottery in old sites on the south of the is land, while none has been found further north here.
 Interviews should be made with old inhabitants, especially in the more remote villages, to obtain racial and folklore history, and early place names, he said He quoted Dall, who reported around 1870 of seeing mummy on Ko diak Island, dressed in a gut skin suit, and other reports of cave burialS, known in the Aleutians but so far unestablished here, as being among the things to be in yeStigated
 Speaking of lack of funds for such work, Clark said strong ief- fort should be made locally to ease the economic strain on any expedition coming to Kodiak. He mentioned the possibility of army and navy aid, especially in provid- ing transportation for field par ties.
 In connection with his talk, MT. Clark presented display of his own collection of artifacts, rang ing from early harpoon points, lip ornaments, lamps and AlitTk pot tery to objects introduced into the area by the early Russian set tiers.

At an Arctic Radar Site, Up
Ninety tons of airplane and cargo
ease down to the ice runway of a
lake, 1000 miles from civilization.
Engines thunder as reversed pro-
pellers fight the plane to stop.
Clamshell doors yawn open.
Another load of freight is de-
livered in the race to build the
Distant Early Warning Line.
BY military and commercial air
craft, by ship, by tractor-drawn
sled trains close to 100000 tons of
material has been toted in the last
year to build the warning line
along the 5000 miles at the top of
the American continent.
When DEW Line is ready, per-
haps as much as two years from
now, it may provide plane-proof
electronic sentry system standing
watch for air invaders headed for
cities of this continent.
From Baffin I. in East
The eastern end of DEW Line
will be on Baffin Island, across
from Greenland.
The western end will be so
close to Soviet territory that the
radar station there should be able
to keep track of Russian planes
across the international border.
To Cape Lisbourne in West
That anchor is at Cape Lis
bourne, Alaska, about 200 miles
southwest of Point Barrow. The
cape is only about 200 miles from
an eastern tip of Siberia, only 100
miles from the international
boundary which extends out into
the Arctic Ocean from Boring
Strait.
NeWsmen who Travelled the
3,000-mile stretch of DEW Line
asked if it would be possible for
an aggressor to jam the system
with electronic equipment, thus
binding DEW Line to the ap-
proaeh of enemy aircraft.

deputy chief of staff of the us.

Tickle Spring Weather
Whips Up Busters and
Causes IA Deaths
(BY THE ASSOCIATED Press,

Springs tickle weather today
served UP dust and snoWstorms
that were blamed for a least IA
deaths.
Powerful winds swept one of
Texas worst dust storms in his
tory from the Panhandle area into
the south and central portions of
the state, threatening extensive
damage to crops.
Three traffic deaths were at
tributed to poor visibility result
ing from the swirling black sand.
Snow which reached depths up
to IS inches in the northeast
caused nine deaths and begged
traffic. A traffic mishap in Wyo-
ming, which had up to 10 inches
of snow, took two lives.
Most of the victims in the
northeast died of heart attacks
while shoveling snow.
Overnight storms, including
dust, tornadoes, hail, rain, and
light snow, dashed at Oklahoma.
In some parts of Texas, the
buster carrying off rich, black top
soil was the worst since the 1920s.
Light rain combined with the
dust to give Dallas and Waco a
muddy mess.

Atomic Power Plant
For Alaska is Planned
By Army, Says Bartlett

WASHINGTON, R-Constfuc-
ton of an atomic power paint in
Alaska is planned by the Army,
Delegate (D-Alaska) said today.
Approval of the plans and mon
ey with which to build the plant
are to be sought of Congress this
year, he said he was advised.
The plant, with a proposed ca
pacity of 1900 kilowatts, would
be located at an undisclosed Army
installation. 1t is known as an
Army package power reactor type
plant with a design based on a
2,000-kiloWatt prototype now be
ing built by a private firm at FIT.
Belvoir, Va.
Bartlett said he was advised the
military desires to obtain opera
tional experience with the plant
in temperatures varying from 80
degrees to minus so degrees.
Estimated cost of the plant is
$4,126,000.

1000 MEN BUILDING DEW LINE
ALONG 3OOO-MILE ARCTIC BELT

POINT BARROW, R-Nearly
1000 construction workers, skilled
craftsmen, laborers and others,
are building the Distant Early
Warning Line.
On icy mountain tops, on storm
swept peninsulas these workers
at dozens of sites along the 5000
mile belt near the top of the world
are assembling what amounts to
small industrial communities.
The largest of the three types
of radar installations has about
$4,000 square feet of floor space
control rooms, offices, power
units, living quarters.
Comforts of Civilization
Plumbing, heating, utility cleo
trio service-everything that goes
into a community down in the
States-has come to a region
where only a handful of Eskimos
have lived out a bare existence.
The us. Air Force assigned to

Western Electric broke the prof.

were given the contract for the
western or Alaskan sector. The

must bring vast variety of equip
ment from points thousands OF
miles distant-above, on, and thru
the ice as the seasons change.
What the Western Electric Co.
and its subcontractors need for
this DEW Line job is enormous in
quantity and variety-huge bull
dozers, tons of steel and cement,
prefabricated buildings, wire and
cable by the hundreds of miles,
food TO feed thousands of hungry
Workmen.
81 Billion for Transportation
The transportation item will
figure heavily in whatever DEW
Line finally costs-perhaps bill
lion dollars or more.
In the commercial airlift there
have been 81 us. and Canadian
planes involved. Day and night
they come Winging in from the
south, leave their loads, head back
home for more.
Aircraft wrecks add to the cost
of transportation. The commercial
carriers have lost 18 planes and
two lives.
Maj. Gen. Chester McCarty, the
commander of the 18th Air Force,
reports that of the 106 aircraft his
outfit has used in the airlift,
three have been in accidents. One
of these was minor; another crash
landed but many of its parts were
salvageable; the third was total
loss. No lives were lost.
Cold Helps and flinders
The arctic, which makes flying
so tough, probably helps TO save
lives. Snow covered plains and
frozen lakes are handy spots for
emergency landings when some
thing goes wrong in the air.
Weather can be nasty in the
arctic. Winds, sometimes as pow
erfuI as 100 miles per hour
scream across the tundra. Clouds
roll in. Fog cloaks airstrips. Some
times ice crystals turn the air into
a bewildering whiteness, in which
there is no sky, no horizon, nc
| ground.
