The fortunes of racing which
have gone against Maj. George
Fox all season, yesterday smiled
on the Marine officer from
Warrenton, Va, who won the
Potomac Cup aboard Junior
Chief through a disqualified
tion.
Kingdom Gould, riding his
own Hurdy Gurdy, was the first
to cross the finish line, but he
reported back to the judges
with a wry grin and said Il
have, sirs, lost my lead-pad."
The judges had seen the felt
pad containing 35-poundS of
lead slip from beneath Gould's
saddle midway around the
three and one-half mile course
and agreed that his top notch
effort and 10-length victory
had to be disqualified.

With Scouts in JFK's Inaugural Parade

we could have"
It was the Alaska Scouts who
first reported the japanese bal
loon attacks on North America,
Marston said. These balloons,
some carrying bombs, were drifted
across the North Pacific by the
Japanese. Air currents carried
them over Alaska and into the
Pacific Northwest.
Marston said that Is of the first
81 balloons sent over came down
in Alaska and were picked up by
the Scouts. The first reports of
the balloons were dismissed as
lacking credibility. But an Eski-
mo Scout on the Yukon River
brought one down with his rifle.
He cut away section of the
balloon bearing japanese char
acters and forwarded it to the
Army
The Army then began an i'm
mediate investigation of the bal
loon reports, Marston said. "Our
greatest fear was that the Japan
csc would use the balloons for
germ warfare" he added.
An Alaska Native Service school
teacher on Attn, a new recruit,
was the first scout casualty of
the war, Marston said. The man
had promised to send word of
any attack. He was killed in the
act of sending out a message Of
the japanese landing on Attu.
Turning again to the coming
parade, Marston said he was try
ing to get the Scouts into mukluks
for it, although such footgear is
not regulation.
They will bring up the rear of
the parade, marching just ahead
of the last-place Hawaiian dele
cation. The Hawaiians will be
wearing traditional dress, he said.
with the Scouts wearing white
parkas and mukluks, it would
make quite a contrast"

Mamie and Ike Plan
To Visit Japan in October

WASHINGTON Up - President
Eisenhower said Thursday he and
Mrs. Eisenhower hope to visit
Japan later this year.
He gave that word to Yasujiro
Tsutsumi, former speaker of the
Japanese Diet, during half hour
visit at the White House.
Gen. Lyman l.. Lemnitzer,
chairman of the U. S. Joint Chiefs
of Staff and personal friend of
Tsutsumi, told reporters about the
Presidents statement.
Serving as a spokesman for the
japanese industrialist and legis-
lator, Lemnitzer said the specified
purpose for Tsutsuni's visit here
was to invite the President and
the First Lady to Japan.
Lemnitzer said Tsutsumi had
brought 10 volumes of signatures
of Japanese asking the President
to visit their country to make up
for the cancellation of his sched-
uled visit last June. That trip
was called off because of Japan
csc demonstrations against the
visit.
There have been reports that
the President and Mrs Eisenhower
would travel to Japan by ship
next October.

lature will be asked by Gov.
Egan to move quickly in providing
for the establishment of a State
Ferry System.
The states chief executive
terms the proposed Ferry system
as lone of the key foundations
of economic progress in Alaska"
eve need and must have this

economic progress in Alaska of
which we are capable
eve must have an integrated
Highway System and this is the
only way we can achieve it in
the foreseeable millions of dollars
into the economy of all of Alas
ka.
"It will boost employment, it
will result in increased tax rev.
enues for the state and it will
create likelihood of new industry
becoming interested in Alaska"
The voters, last Nov. 8. passed
S23 million bond proposal to
finance State Ferry System and
to pay for road work.
:. Egan said he does not plan, at
least at the present time, to rec
ommend to the Legislature where
the road money should be spent,
or how it should be spent.
The Bond proposal specified
that the bonds were to be sold
under rules and standards estab-
lished by the Legislature.
The battle of the budget, Egan
said, will determine the extent
of the states fiscal 1862 Pioneer
Access Road Program, which the
governor described as lone of our
really worthwhile programs"
The last Legislature appropri-
ated one million dollars for the
construction of Pioneer Access
Roads.

tuD Marston, the man who or
ganized Alaska's famed Eskimo
Scouts, will ride with Gov Will
liam A. Egan in the Presidential
Inaugural Parade Jan. 20, Egan
said today.
The governors car will head the
Alaska section in the Inaugural
Parade for President-elect Ken
nedy. Behind Egan will come the
Elmendorf Air Force Base band
and 80 members of the LIST and
End Eskimo Scout Battalions.
Marston announced in Anchor
age Tuesday that he had been
asked to lead the marching scouts,
but Egan said today National
Guard regulations would not per-
NIT Marston to do so.
Egan said he had arranged with
the Inaugural Committee, through
the office of Sen. E. L. Bartlett,
however, to have Marston to ride
in Egan's car.
Egan said Marston apparently
had misconstrued the language of
a recent letter from Egan appoint
ing Marston an honorary officer
of the Scouts and had interpreted
it to mean he was being invited
to march with the Scouts.
Egan said in his letter to Mar
Ston:
=. in recognition of your
accomplishments throughout the
then territory of Alaska, during
World War II, in organizing the
Eskimos of Alaska and providing
military training for them, l am
pleased to confer this honor upon
you.
at is fitting that you, who
welded the outposts of the Alas
ka Territorial Guard into fight
ing and tactical units, be present
when these outstanding men of
Alaska's LIST and End Scout Bat
talions march down Pennsylvania
Avenue in the Presidential Inaug-
ural Parade at our nations CAPT.

Marston plans to wear the hair
seal parka he wore as leader of
the Scouts in the Inaugural Pa
rade. His hair seal trousers are
now are part of the Cook Inlet
Historical Society Exhibit in the
z. J. Loussac Library here.
Marston began the task of or
ganizing the Scout Units of the
Alaska Territorial Guard in 1871.
They performed invaluable serv-
ice in the following year when
the Japanese gained foothold
in the Aleutians and through the
remainder of the war.
The Scouts were not paid -
all were volunteers. Marston re-
ferred to them as Human Radar."
Their mission was to observe and
report all enemy activity. They
were to harass the enemy should
they encounter the japanese but
fall back if Outnumbered. They
were the eyes and ears of the
Army in the Arctic.
Marston made his headquarters
in Nome. 81 furnished ammmiti-
ton and guns to the Scouts -
there was no complaint either"
he said. "For the first time they
were recognized as equals.
They're the greatest Arctic Scouts

Swoyze Cursing
Won't Cost Job

than risk a world-devastatting
nuclear war.
Western diplomats in Geneva
generally do not believe the
West will join in a nuclear
ornaments race in the imme-
diate future.
They point to President Ken
nedy'S recent statement that
he considers the United States
nuclear arsenal sufficient to
repel, or retaliate against, any
Soviet nuclear aggression. They
consider this clearly indicates
Washington and London have
no immediate plans to resume
their own nuclear weapon test
ing despite the Soviet move.
France was not a party to
the new Western offer, but is
expected to go along with it if
the Russians agree. The French
are believed to be the only
nation that held atomic tests
during the three-year mora
torium that prevailed while
the other atomic powers met
here. The French have al
ready announced that their
program of tests above ground
is finished. Any additional
French tests therefore will
probably be underground.
The United States and Brit
ain have already asked for a
debate on the test ban issue
in the United Nations General
Assembly opening two weeks
from today. Western diplomats
here feel the United States and
Britain stand to lose little by
delaying new weapon tests a
few more months while the
issue is debated in New York.
On the other hand, it would be
extremely difficult for the
United States and Britain to
denounce Moscow before the
United Nations Assembly If
they also resume testing.
Sir Michael and Mr.. Stelle
both were unsparing yesterday
in their condemnation of the
Soviet Union for keeping up
the talks in Geneva while Sc
cretly preparing to resume
tests.
They recalled that Mr.. TSa-
rapkin had been accusing the
West of preparing to resume
tests while Soviet scientists
were doing exactly that. Mr..
Stelle called this "a record of
perfidy."
He added: How right the
West has been to insist on ef-
fective international controls
without them, the closed
society Of the USSR would be
capable of confronting other
states, as it just confronted
mankind, with sorry surprises" 3"
In offering to join in a ban
on tests above ground without
special control machinery, the
two Western allies said such
tests could be detected by de-
vices already perfected.
