Local Planes Participate In Search For Missing Weather Bureau Craft

Five aircraft under the direc- ton of local CAP officials enter ed the search in this area for the missing U. s. Weather Bureau plane.
 The reason for extending the search this far north was due to a report by Pat Bliss at Ungalik that a plane flying low over that point at about the time the miss ing plane may have been in the area.
 The local planes were flown by Dusty Rhode and Martin Olson with Mrs. Rhode and Alice Hud- son as observers, Maj. Larry Elan agan and two planes from Unala- kleet piloted by Wilfred Ryan and Mir Sutherland.
 If the time given by Pat Bliss is confirmed to be Boring Sea time the search will be expanded today. Yesterdays search was be- tween Ungalik and Kotzebue.
 So far, reports Dusty Rhode, squadron leader for CAP, the search in the Rainy Pass area remains very limited due to rain and fog with little search above 5000 feet.

 Within a few years, the Ost boys began to operate a freighting business between Golovin and Council. The family moved to Council early in the 1930's where they served the people through a store and the postoffice,
 It had long been dream of Rev. Ost's to open new mission stations on the Yukon. Since most of the children were grown and left home he began making pre- parations for this expanded pro gram. During this time in 1853, Mrs. Ost, who mothered many besides her own and was won derful friend to all, passed away in Nome.
 Presently Rev Ost is stationed at Fortuna Ledge and visits the villages along the lower Yukon River. The five Ost boys are: John, who makes his home in Tacoma, Wash; Nathan and Joe, missionaries to Africa; Lincoln, a major in the U. s. Army, and Daniel, missionary to Mexico. His three daughters live in Nome and an adopted daughter, Mamie, assists Rev. Ost in his mission ary endeavors. There are 43 grandchildren and great grand children.
 During the 50 years in which Rev. Ost has been a missionary in Alaska, he has seen great many changes take place, how ever, the purpose for which he and Mrs. Ost first came, remains the same.

L.E. Ost Completes
 50 Years In Alaska Missionary Service

Tuesday, Aug. 2, completes half-century since the arrival 1T Nome of Rev. and Mrs. L. E. Ost enroute to the Covenant Old Mis- sion Children's Home near Colo yin. Ludwig Evald Ost and Ruth Elin Hall were married on July IS, 1910, in Ashland, Wis, and left directly on a combined honey moon and the trip which would fulfill their call to the northern field of missionary service.
 The Children's Home in which they labored, housed 40 children whose parents had died in a re- cent epidemic. Their work here for three years included the tasks of father, mother, doctor, nurse, teacher and missionary. Numer- ous trips by dogteam were made by Rev. Ost to take care of the needs of his family and friends with whom he worked. In 1913 a severe storm washed most of the Old Mission village away. Rev. Ost's next task then was to search for a suitable location to rebuild the mission. He founded Film, a beautiful site with hills, trees, ample water and protection from storms. The name, Film, means friend"
 During this time, many of the children from the home grew up and were married within the group. A number of them are still living in western Alaska.
 In 1927, the Osts and their family of eight children started for the Yukon. Enroute to their new home they camped at Ega- vik where the men of the family worked at the reindeer roundup. While here, their home of several tents burned, destroying most of their belongings. Since work was available in GoloVin, the family returned there. The influx of the eight Ost children was an incen-

Cuban Political
 Prisoners Escape Plot ThWarted
By HAROLD K. MILKS

HAVANA, R-Military author ities said Saturday they had un- covered an escape plot at La Ca bana Military Prison organized among 190 persons accused of trying to overthrow Prime Minis ter Fidel Castro's regime.
 An announcement said officials had found small exploratory tun- nels dug from one gallery in which 70 of the group are held.
 Authorities said an entrance to the tunnels had been found under the bed of Roberto Martin Perez, son of a former army colonel.
 Martin Perez is one of the most prominent among the 190 held in the so-called Truiillo plot. He was arrested last August after a gum fight at Trinidad between Cas- tro's forces and occupants of an arms laden plane that flew in from the Dominican Republic.
 Castro has charged that the purported plot was backed finan- cially by Generalissimo Rafael Trujillo, Dominican Republic strongman and archenemy of the Cuban revolutionary leader.

w. Berlin Officials Crack Down On Nazi Educators

BERLIN, tR -- West Berlin school officials threatened Satur- day to crack down on teachers who refuse to tell their pupils the truth about Hitler and the Nazi era.
 School Superintendent Carl Heinz Evers said his move was inspired by the recent wave of anti-Jewish acts, most of them carried out by youths who have had their schooling since World War II.
 The new move came in the wake of a demonstration by 1O,- GOO Germans against hate-mon- gers and Nazism.
 Evers told newsmen he intends to bring disciplinary action against any teacher who fails to give a correct picture of what the Nazis did. He also promised to prevent former Nazis from getting teach ing jobs.
 Half the teachers in West Ber- lin are over AS and Evers said most of them were members of the Nazi party. Under a West German law, party members who had no serious charge against them are entitled to get back jobs they lost right after World War II.
 "This," Evers said, "has brought us teachers we could have done without"
 In Friday nights demonstra- ton, the crowd mainly young people - carried banners read ing "Nazis get out" and Against race hatred" They marched quiet ly through the center of West Berlin.
 The anti-Nazi demonstration was the first staged in Germany since 1883, when Adolf Hitler rose to power.

FAA Rules Air Passenger Drinks Must be Served By Airline Stewardess

WASHINGTON, UP - The Fed eral Aviation Agency Saturday frightened the rules for drinking aboard airliners: A passenger can still bring his own bottle, but the stewardess must have control of pouring the drinks.
 The idea is to prevent passen- gers getting excessively drunk by belting a bottle at will.
 Big airliners usually serve drinks from an airborne bar as part of the service. Smaller air lines often have no bars, but will serve set-ups to passengers who bring their own liquor.
 Under the new rule, such pas sengers would be required to turn in their bottles as they board, to the stewardess, who would then pour the drinks from it.
 The airlines also are ordered not to serve liquor to anyone who appears intoxicated.
 The FAA rule also provides that anyone who carries his own bottle and drinks from it in flight could be fined up to $1 1000.
