Federal Court Term Ends

The federal term of court was completed Friday with the acquit- tai of Robert Rice, lilot from Bar row who was charged with selling government property.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

To all mothers and others who want safety for our children:
 During the last few days I have personally come to see and talk with as many of you as were home, about the problem of keep ing our children away from fires. To those of you who did not see me. l was there - but you were out, because I went from King Island Village to the Sandspit, the ACS area to the FAA area. I never realized before how many homes there are in Nome!
 I would like to ask all of you to keep your children away from fires, by setting them good eX- ample and staying out of the way yourselves.
 A hearty thank-you to all of you who so willingly and gladly signed the petition to the City Council, about safety at fires, and then thanked me for asking you to sign. More than 200 women wanted this done. It was so satis- flying to meet and talk with all of you and again I repeat:
 Keep the children away from fires. Don't make our Volunteer Bremen fight our children and fires at the same time.

Mildred Maynard, court report CT for Judge Walter Hodge, who is on her first visit here since leaving Is years ago, has enjoyed seeing many things which were not possible for the average per son to see Is years ago as there were no roads then.

A number of serious prob

to watch developments, Mr..

there is justification for conf

Mr.. Bowersock, who is execu-

Trust Co., said shadows on the
1860 horizon included the pos
sibility of a renewal of the rail-
road strike and the possibility
that there will not be enough
credit available to maintain the
present level of the economy.
Each Is Threat
Neither of these can be light
ly pushed aside" he declared.
Each is a distinct threat, but
there are common sense rea-
sons to believe that the worst
will not come to pass.
"a railroad strike of sufh-
cient duration to stif1e our
economy cannot be defended,
and public interest and nation
al defense would dictate Fed

However, Mr.. Bowersock
declared that savings accounts,

The great middle class, which

Profit gains will about equa,

Lansburgh's sales have SUBJ

gains of all area department
stores since the opening of the
new Virginia store in Septem-
ber, reported President Ralph
Goldsmith. Further gains are
expected this year, he added.
However, the overall tota

in part to mild weather which
discouraged sales of heavy

LEOPOLDVILLE. the Congo,
July 2l.-A United Nations
spokesman said today Premier
Patrice Lumumba has informed
the U. N. mission he will fly to
New York tomorrow to address
the Security Council on the
Congo crisis.
A meeting of the Council
scheduled for this afternoon
may be postponed to await Mr..
Lumumba's arrival, the spokes-
man said.
The tall, goateed government
chief has threatened to call in
Russian troops if Belgian SOL
diers do not leave Congolese
territory Immediately.
Belgian planes began airlift-
ing Belgian parachute troops
out of Leopoldville today in full
flllment of the United Nations
plan to make this a U. Neon
trolled city by Saturday. The
troops are returning to Belgian
treaty bases within the Congo.
Swedish Troops Arrive
A contingent of Swedish
troops for the U. N. Congo force
arrived from the Middle East
and began taking over guard
duty from the Belgians at the
Leopoldville Airport, is miles
out of town.
The headquarters staff of the
Belgian Air Force here also was
packing up. Files, cabinets and
even refrigerators and washing
machines were Grated for ship
ment to the Belgian bases at
Kitona and Kamina. II
1t was in this furry of activ-
ity-still insufficient to meet
Congolese demands-that Mr..
Lumumba notified DR.. Ralph

here, of his intention to fly to
New York.
DR.. Bunche telephoned Sec
retary General Dag Hammar-
skiold, who has disclosed plans
to fly to the Congo at the week
end. He is due in Leopoldville
Monday.
/ The U. N. spokesman declined
to say whether he believed Mr..
Lumumba's move means post
ponement or an easing of his
threat to invite Russian inter-
vention unless the Belgians,
who still garrison a score of
cities and towns, get out at
once.

| LEOPOLDVILLE, congo
July 2l.-Communist influence
is showing up in Premier
Patrice Lumumba's Congo
government.
The red tinge is now evident
in broadcasts of the Leopold
vile radio station, controlled
by the Information Minister,
Aricet Kashamura.
Announcers have begun to
quote the Soviet Communist
Party newspaper Pravda and
the Soviet news agency TasS.
Occasionally a long telegram
from some Iron Curtain coun-
try condemning "the imperial
lists" will be read.
Mr.. Lumumba himself has a
record of close friendship with
the Soviet Union.
But there is no Communist
movement of any strength
among the Congo's IS million
largely illiterate people.
Whatever the trend, a refer
ence by Mr.. Lumumba yester-
day to the Suez Canal contro-
versy of 1856 is perhaps sig
nificant. Threatening again to
call in Soviet troops, Mr..
Lumumba said that after
Egypt's naturalization of the
Suez Canal all capitalist ma
tions of the West sided with
Britain and France.
Actually United States in
tervention was a major factor
in stopping British French and
Israeli attacks on Egypt. The
Soviet Union at that time was
threatening to send "volun-
teers" to the scene.

Cairo from U. N. duty in the
GAIA Strip.
Other American planes
landed at short intervals.
This was Belgium'S Inde-
pendence Day, long observed in
the Congo. and Belgians cele-
brated the freedom they won
from Dutch rule July 81, 1881.

Congolese workers to turn up
for work as usual.
This is not a Congolese

troops, more food and equip

can airliftS. The U. N. spokes-
man said three Russian planes
were heading in with cargoes
of sugar.

Force Globemasters handled a

belief that Mr.. Lumumba is
taking a page from President
Canal Abdel Nasser's book and
trying to play off the West
against the East.
They take the view that the
Premier is bluffing in an ef-
fort to get maximum aid from
the United Nations and the
West.
Some Ghanians who came
here to help put the Lumumba
government on its feet are not
at all happy about his criticism
of the United Nations and his
ultimatumS regarding the Rus
sian troops.
