Norwegians Patrol
 Coast To Hold Off Russian Fishermen

BERGEN, Norway, R - A giant Russian fishing fleet of about 300 ships began operating today just outside the fishery boundary on Norway's west coast.
 Several Norwegian warships be- gan patrolling the boundary line, four miles from the Norwegian coast to scare off any Soviet tres passers.
 A Norwegian ship first reported by radio that the Russians were operating two or three miles in side the fishing limit and the Western Naval Command dis patched warships to the area.
 Rear Adm. Erling c. Hostvedt said the Russians were operating with purse nets up to two miles long, and as they followed the giant herring schools might drift across the boundary.
 If they are discovered by our ships, the Russians cut their nets and run," the admiral said.
 Two years ago a big fleet of Russian fishing vessels invaded Norwegian territorial waters off Aalesund on the west coast. Nor wegian naval vessels captured a large number of them, and the captured Russians had to pay dam ages and lost their catch.

Japan to Gun WaIrus Wrecking Island Fishing

TOKYO, R - Japan's fledgling air force is holding up its first operational attack - a war on WalruseS.
 The possibility of legal ramifi- cations brought a respite for the numbering mammals who beat the Coast Guard in a battle last year.
 After the nations lone Sabre Jet combat wing was alerted to take over the fight this year, the attack orders were held up.
 ''The plan to machine-gun the walruses is still under study" spokesman for the Japan Fishery Agency said. Before we do any, thing we have to consider the issue of compensation which would arise if the area is proclaimed a restricted fishing zone."
 He explained there was a pos sibility some fishermen might de- mand compensation for being kept out of the danger zone, even though the purpose of the war is to protect the fishermens' equip ment and the fish they seek.
 The walrus stronghold is Wal rus Rock nm a tiny speck off Ja- pans northernmost island of Hok- kaido. Between September and April swarms of the big beasts congregate in the area, wreaking havoc with fishing equipment and the fish.
 The Coast Guard attempt to wipe out the enemy last year failed. "The walrus just shrugged off shotgun pellets and they es- caped when the boats approached them," an official explained.

Fl Capitan Conquered

This headline made real at traction last month, when a most amazing and intrepid mountain climbing expedition resulted in victory. In a miraculous way, three California mountain climb CTS scaled the 3,604-foot perpen- dicular cliff in Yosemite Park, the lofty Fl Capitan. It took them a year to make preparations for the climb, and 13 days of actual climb ing. At night they would hang on the face of the cliff to sleep, and during the final night they braved the beloW-freezing temperatures to inch their way up the 175 feet remaining to victory.
 What a lesson this should be to all those who are heading for a greater height than Fl Capitan. We should not only make adequate preparation for the trip, but also make sure of reaching our goal in safety What a sure promise we have in the Savior's own words q go to prepare place for you. And . V. I will come again and receive you unto Myself; that where I am ye may be alSo." - John, 14:2, 3.

Investigators Try To Solve Mystery In East River Crash

NEW YORK, LR - Investigators Thursday pinned hopes on two surviving crew members for an answer to why big new airliner crashed near LaGuardia Airport, killing 65 of the 73 aboard.
 But both the creWmen, the CO., pilot and the flight engineer, lie critically injured and cannot be questioned. The pilot was killed.
 One big question to be answered was whether the lack of a radio beam for altitude guidance of the plane had any bearing on the crash.
 Fhe American Airlines craft, coming in from the northeast through an overcast after a non- stop flight from Chicago, had the aid of a radio beam which lined it's approach with the runway designated for the landing.
 An altitude beam - which tells planes whether they are approach ing too high or too low - is in use on the same runway for those landing from the southwest.
 The altitude beam has been in use for the southwest approach because it is over a populated area. The northeast approach is over the East River.
 The copilot, Frank s. Hlavacek, 33, suffered broken jaw, pelvis and breaks of both legs, as well as internal injuries.
 The flight engineer, Warren E. Cook, 36, received numerous in juries which were not listed in detail by the hosital.
 Numerous investigators are in specting portions of the wrecked plane for answers to many ques- tions raised by the crash.
 Some of the questions:
 Was there a mechanical failure in the airliner, one of six sleek, four engine giant Electras put into service by American just II days before? The pilot gave no indi- cation of trouble.
 Did the pilot, Capt. Albert H. Dewitt, 59, a veteran of 30 years and seven million miles with American, come in too low? Was it a possible failure of altimeter instruments? De Witt was killed in the crash.
 Was De Wits age a factor? He was due to be retired next May when he would have reached 50. But he had passed his physical with flying colors.
 Was he the victim of a sensory illusion often experienced by pi- lots coming over water in the dark, causing them to think they are higher than they are?

Old Line Calling
For Negro Nation

NEW YORK, Dec. IL (AP).-
The American Communist

Of a Negro nation within the
United States.
Instead, the objective now "iS
to secure to the Negro people
with all speed the complete
realization Of genuinely equal
economic. political and social
status with all other American
citizens.
The action, taken in a reso-
luton adopted at the party'S
national convention in a Har-
lem hotel, marks a fundamen-
tai change in the line of the
American Communist Party
dating to 1880, a party spokes-
man said. He said the former
policy is being abandoned be-
cause it smacks Of segregation
The convention said to be
attended by 222 delegates from
40 states, is a closed affair but
newsmen are briefed regularly
by party officers.
The turn-about on Negro
policy was announced by James
jackson Of Richmond, Va.
party secretary for southern
and Negro affairs.

Two men huffed and puffed
and lifted Sally across the
threshold and by firm shov-

Sally'S humor changed fast
once she was on stage. She
flicked her ears and played il
soft and gentle. A perfect

He hopes Sally does at least

(AP) Sally all but turned the
final dress rehearsal of a
Christmas pageant into a Sat-

Sally is a donkey and, like
most of her kind, she has an
impish intuition about when to
be balky.
Such a moment came today.
Little children of the First Re-
formed Church were assembled
on the stage or in the wings,
all of them in Biblical costume
and keyed up for their roles.
The director told them 1t was
most important that the dream
quality of the play be undis-
turbed, so would the children
please curb their high spirits.
Try to be a bit ethereal. that
was the idea.

Gruis Tells Views
Edward G. Gruis. president
Of the Capitol Hill Restoration
Society and chairman of the
Capitol Hill Council, said he
favors either a complete mod
ernization of the existing build
ing or a new building-prefer-
ably new building. He said If
all the 25 defects listed by
Principal Chasey were cor
rected, this is still not an
answer to our problem. Mr..
Gruis added:
THE answer is either re-
placement or total restoration
by cutting the interior of the
building, leaving the exterior
as it is. but completely reno
waiting the interior, as is done
in restoration Jobs in private
residences on Capitol Hill.
1--WE want a modern school
building in which parents.
teachers and pupils can take
pride. Is it too much to ask
that the same facilities be sup
piled to this Capitol Hill school
as those enjoyed in other parts
of the city? A new building
would instill better school
spirit"
Mr.. Gruis believes if an up to
date Hine Junior High School
is realized, it would aid the
restoration program on Capt.

will be disclosed when Presi-
dent Eisenhower sends the

The Hine difficulty has three
possible solutions and each has
its proponents:
/. Remodel the old building
to upgrade it.
2. Do a complete interior rem
ovation job, with only the To-
year old walls left standing.
3. Erect a brand-new building.
Some feel that Congress
would authorize a renovation
job. rather than a costly new
structure. But for years the
Board of Education has been
conSiste ntly advocating a
brand-new building. Recently, a
number of citizens have asked
the District Commissioners to
do something about the prob
lem.
John M. Riecks, assistant
school superintendent in charge
Of buildings and grounds, esti-
mates that a new building
would cost nearly So million.
He said it would be constructed
on the block on which the pres
ent building stands, so as not
to interrupt schooling. 1t would
utilize present playground
space.

The board asked the Com
missioners for S118,200 in the
new budget for planning money
for the new school. But the
Department Of General Ad-
miniStration did not recon-
mend this item. The board
appealed to the Commissioners
from this ruling, but whether
it was successful will be deter
minded officially only when the
budget figures are made public
next month. after Congress
convenes.

After a recent fire, damaged
classrooms were renovated. But
on the third floor, which is

He cited a list of some 25

Mr.. McGregor asked that the
Commissioners correct these

Renovation Figures

comparatively cheaper to erect
a new building, which would

The Commissioners held that
children now enrolled there
could be accommodated either
at Randall Junior High School
First and streets S.W., OF
Stuart Junior High School

But the school authorities
consider this is too far for the
children to go. Further, they
say that because enrollmentS
