WAR" IS OVER

"The sounds of battle have died away, the enemy was repulsed and routed," Major Larry Elan agan said concerning the military problem which was worked over during the past three days in the foothills between Satellite Field and Basin Creek.
 It was not an ambitious exercise he added but it was well organ ized and the results were gratify- ing and successful.
 The last of the 300 men who were brought in for the exercise leave today and it looks like it might be an annual event. An other such exercise is scheduled for Barrow in December and Nome can look for an aerial ex- ercise sometime in February with about 250 men.
 Major Flanagan told the Cham Der of Commerce this noon that there will be increased emphasis on the defense of the coast from now on. It will not be undefended as in the past.
 The army men enjoyed the hos pitality of the community, espec- ially the Eskimo Dances Sunday evening at King Island Village.

Coast Guard Suspends Search For Three Men Of Sunken Tug Tom

JUNEAU, lR-The Coast Guard said Sunday it will wait until clues turn up before making fur ther search for three men who were aboard Seattle tugboat be- lieved to have sunk in Alaska waters.
 Three Coast Guard planes scan- ned the Stephens Passage area 75 miles south of Juneau over the weekend in continuation of a search begun Thursday.
 The barge which the tug Tom had been towing was seen that day with it's towline pointing downward. The vessel George S. said sonar indicated the Tom was on the other end of the line.
 Aboard the Tom were Capt, Earl Long, 42, North Bend, Ore; Myrton Voellger, 36, Poulsbo, Wash, and William Pavoa, 40, Honolulu.
 At Seattle an official of the Puget Sound Bridge and Dredging Co.,, owner of the Tom, said grap- bling operations might be tried in efforts to raise the tug. He said there is a strong A-frame on the Toms bow that might be caught in a graphing hook.

100 Religious Leaders Oppose Religion As Campaign Issue

NEW YORK, R-Setting class against class, race against race and religion against religion is vicious practice repugnant to all Americans, says group of 100 Protestant, Jewish and Catholic leaders.
 The group called on their or ganizations to oppose any at tempts to make religious affilia- ton the basis of voters choice in the presidential campaign.
 They called their statement, made Sunday, "an attempt to ex- tract higher ethic regarding re ligion and politics that would be applicable to the practical con- alterations of the current presi- dential campaign"
 Last week, a Protestant group led by Dr. Normal Vincent Peale issued a statement which said Roman Catholic President. would be "under extreme pres sure by the hierarchy of his church."
 pr. Peale, a supporter of Re publican presidential nominee Richard Nixon, said later, how ever, that the public agitation of religion as an issue in the cam pagin would be 'in the long run harmful to our country"
 Nixon is Quaker and his Democratic opponent, Sen. John Kennedy, is a Catholic.

COPENHAGEN, R - The jet age brought soaring profits and new problems to the worlds ma ior airlines last year.
 Sir William Hildred, director general of the International Air Transport Association, told the IATA 89 member airlines today that lower fares sparked the boom.
 In his report to the IATA's 18th annual general meeting, Hildred pictured the industry as halfway through the jet re equipment program and already faced with the coming era of supersonic air craft
 Operating profit for the worlds airlines in 1859 jumped to 3.1 per cent. It was less than half of one per cent the year before. Net operating profit for the airlines last year was $40 million. In 1858 it was only $15 million.
 ''More people are travelling by air than ever before-97 million last year as against 31 million ten years ago." Hildred said.
 Lower fares, in both real and monetary terms" have played a vital role in developing interna-

Lurnumba Fired As Congo Premier

LEOPOLDVILLE, R- Premier Patrice Lumumba was taken into custody by the army late today, but three hours later he was re- leased.
 He penetrated the cordon around Leopoldville radio station, now under United Nations con- trol, and demanded that he be allowed to speak.
 Ghana soldiers said they had orders to fire if he tried to get into the station.
 President Joseph Kasavubu had named a new government to re- place Lumumba's Communist backed regime.
 Lumumba was taken to Camp Leopold II, an army garrison, and was followed there soon after ward by his wife and two chill dren.
 About 200 Congolese soldiers surrounded his residence over looking the Congo river and the lanky, goateed Lumumba sur rendered without struggle.
 Senate President Joseph leo, a moderate, is Kasavubu's choice to run the country.
 Lumumba has been premier since the Belgians gave the Congo it's independence 10 weeks ago. Kasavubu, as president, nominal ly outranks him and has the right to nominate a premier. But Lum- umba in the last two weeks had been trying to supersede Kasa- vubu; each declared the other fired at one stage.
 Lumumba, 34, is former post al clerk, once imprisoned for en- bezzlement, whose regime has been sliding toward the Commun- ist bloc in the Congo's 1912 weeks as a free nation. His repeated threats to invite in Soviet troops were never executed, but he ob- tained Soviet bloc planes, trucks and technicians to help fight his Congolese foes.
 leo said the president had de- cided to fire Lumumba because of

Richard Nixon Kicks Off His Campaign Today

BALTIMORE, R-Vice Presi- dent Richard Nixon officially kicked off his presidential cam paign today by promising to carry the ''peace issue" to the voters in all the 50 states.
 "The overriding issue, the COP nominee told cheering crowd at Baltimore's Friendship airport, lis keeping the peace without surrender and extending free4 dom throughout the world"
 Nixon, with President Eisen- hover and other top Republicans, joined in launching a 9,000-mile, first-lap campaign carrying him to Indianapolis, Dallas and San Francisco, spoke inside a hall of the airport because of the heavy rains from the fringes of hurri- cane Donna.
 President Eisenhower said that to his mind the hurricane "is a good omen." He recalled a rain storm at Abilene, Kan, where he launched his own campaign in 1852.
 Sen. Thruston Morton, the COP national chairman, asserted it was the first time he had "launched a campaign in the middle of a hurricane" He applauded the hardy crowd, who, like Eisen- hover, drove through the heavy rains to attend the meeting.
 Nixon was in good campaign form, and earlier pledged his best efforts to keep the religious is sue out of the presidential race.
 The VOW came on television Sunday night as the Republican candidate called for a cutoff date on the discussion of religion.
 q would hope that Sen. Ken nedy would reach the same con- clusion," Nixon said, "because if the two candidates refrain from raising the issue, that means that at least to that extent it won't be in the news.
 In San Diego, Calif., Sen. John Kennedy, the Democratic candi- date, quickly agreed.

Critics Charge
Too Many FriIIs
In D. G. Schools.

The Northwest Council Of
Citizens Association last night
discussed public school prob
lens at a meeting In the Co.

Most members agreed the
primary trouble with District
schools is too many frills and
facilities and too little en-
phasis on the three RS.
A proposal in the coming
District budget calls for more
libraries in public schools.
Some members objected to this
on the grounds that few stu.
dents even use the public Ii.
braries located near their
homes.
The delegates from the nine
associations comprising the
council also discussed the
Staying Of 7-year-old Michael

Like Gold Rush Town

today has something Of the look
Of an old engraving of San
Francisco in the gold rush days
of 1849. 1t is a hut camp with
standards Of personal cleanli-
ness and public sanitation more
in keeping with a wild-west
boom town than with a goth
century scientific base.
The outstanding shortcoming
at McMurdo is in camp sani-
tation. Disposal Of solid waste
is in used oil drums which are
rolled down o hill to lie on the
bay ice for months or even
years awaiting q thaw which
will sink the drums beneath the
surface Of Ross Sea. Liquid
wastes are poured out onto the
ground to freeze.

health hazard exists, minimized
only by the bitter cold that
prevails most (but not alb the

Of q capital Improvement, it

prevail.
Lack Water System
Another major lack is an
adequate water system. Nc
Murdo's water supply comes
from SNOW mines" in the hills
just back Of camp, and is
melted in diesel-fire hoppers.
Though the supply Of snow is
inexhaustible and pure, the
matchmaking process produces
a liquid that is both expensive
and tainted. The taste Of diesel
fuel In the drinking water is O
common complaint. and much
valuable documentary film has
been ruined by fouled water
from snow meters.
Snow mines are an adequate
source Of supply at the inland
stations with populations Of
only q score or so Of men.
They are not adequate at q
camp like McMurdo, which
last winter had a strength of
135 men and this year will
have a peak population of 700
during the midsummer sup
port season now under way.
A salt water distillation
plant, using either atomic or
conventional heat, would I'M
doubtedly pay its way at Nc
Murdo. The cost Of water
made from snow is not pre-
cisely known "a figure Of sew
eral dollars a gallon. reported
earlier this month by this
writer in q dispatch from
Antartica, apparently was in
error, but it undoubtedly is
many times that Of sea-water
purified by presently-feasible
means.
Repairs Sp0tty
Maintenance Of equipment
at McMurdo is spotty. Car
cases Of WORKOUT machines
lie around the shop areas, and
Still-pseful vehicles sit on the
"dead-line" for lengthy pc
RODS awaiting parts.
During the five-month busy
season, when rolling stock is
operating around the clock,
equipment takes a terrific beat
ing. In theory. much Of the
long winter night is used in
restoring this machinery to
good operating condition.
Even so, many vehicles OBJ
served by this writer at the
start Of the present summer
season seemed to be in only
$3.50 shape.
Apparently laxity of MAIN
tenance at McMurdo runs to
buildings and non rolling
equipment. Storm doors on
many structures fit badly. Some
warehouses are without tight
closing doors, or have faulty
entrances. This can be expen-
sive, due to needless heat loss
and expense can mount rap
idly at fuel oils cost in
Antarctica.
Power Failures
On one occasion in October,
the primary 450-kilowatt diesel

McMurdo broke down, and it
