Does the United States need
a site for practice-bombing just
two miles from Japan's only
nuclear reactor complex?
Gov. Miro Iwakami of the
state of Ibaraki has suggested
to officials here that removal
of the site would permit the
2.5 million people in his state
to breathe a little easier.
He has quietly met with a
representative of Vice President
johnson, with Pentagon Off
cialS and with Speaker of the
House Rayburn, and suggested
that an ocean practice target
might be substituted.
Mr.. Iwakami said in an in
terview with The Star yesterday
that in the last five years, Air
Force planes have made 300
"errors" in their bombing of
the target site. There have been
three deaths, he said.
Reception Excellent"
Mr.. Iwakami said his recep-
ton here and at the Air Force
Far Eastern Command head
quarters in Hawaii has been
excellent and that he is opti-
mistic about the chances for
changing the bombing site.
Although the nearness of the
atomic and bombing sites are a
cause of popular concern, Mr..
Iwakami said, the situation has
not deteriorated to the point
where pickets are demonstrat-
ing against the bases or the

Anita Stewart,
Ex-Star, Dies

HOLLYWOOD, May S CAP).
Anita Stewart, IS, who left a
Brooklyn high school to be-
come one of the biggest stars
of the silent screen, died yes
Iterday after an apparent heart
jattack.
Death came in the Beverly
Hills home the eX-actresS
shared with her sister Lucille.
The sisters had lived together
since Anita's divorce IA years
ago from George Peabody Con-
verse.
Lucille Stewart, once the
wife of Ralph Ince, pioneer
movie director, said her sister
had been under a physicians
care but had seemed we'll in
recent weeks.
Miss Stewart started her film
career in the old Vitagraph
studios in New York when she
was only 13. Her reddish
brown hair and large brown
eyes had made her a standout
at Brooklyns Erasmus High
School, which she attended
briefly.
Stardom came two years
later when she played the title
role in THE Goddess" a pop
ular serial of the period. She
scored hits later in such films
as "A Million Bid" THE Girl
Phillippa," I'm Old Kentucky, ,"
Midnight Romance" THE
Great White Way" and Never
the Twain Shall Meet"
Miss Stewart never made a
talking motion picture, but had
a successful singing career in
vaudeville in the early 1930s.
About this time she also began
writing novels.
One of them, The Devils
Toy" achieved some measure
of success.
She eloped with Rudolph
Cameron Brennan, an actor,
during World War I. Mr.. Bren-
nan, known professionally as
Rudolph Cameron, was his
wife's co-star in two 1917
movies and managed her ca
reer when they went to Holly
wood.
They were divorced in 1928
and Miss Stewart married Mr.
Converse, a New York million
aire-socialite, the following
year.
The ceremony was one of
Hollywood's best remembered
social events of the era.

his confinement in the hospital

He added This positive and

distinguishes the (compact)
commission from other regula-

frequently enjoy more or less

Kentucky Tourist Outlasts Two Months Of Alaska's' Wilds Loses Half Weight

FAIRBANKS R = Gaunt and emaciated, Kentucky tourist who amazingly survived 10 weeks lost in the sub-arctic Alaska wilderness was reported on the road to recovery today.
 The fact that William c. Waters, 42, Erlanger, Ky, was alive at all was described as "al most fantastic by State Police.
 Waters, wasted to about 90 pounds from his usual 180, was brought to St. Joseph's Hospital here yesterday from Circle Hot Springs.
 Hospital attendants listed his condition as fair and his doctor said he would recover.
 His feet were swollen and had open sores, and his stomach was 90 shrunken he could hardly eat when two moose hunters came across him lying weakly on the bank of Birch Creek Saturday 30 miles from where he disappeared June 20
 What happened in the 10-week interval Waters recalled hazily as like a dream in which he stum- bied across tundra and bog seek ing civilization,
 He was headed northwest the v1 szs=. sss> Sss: - he f.d kept on he would have reached the Yu- K6n RiveT near the Arctic Circle where police said there's noth- ing, jus. nothing. ;
 It. Bill Traitor of the State Police said the Kentucky man told this story:
 He had driven to Alaska alone on vacation and took side trip to the end of Steese Highway at Circle, l20 miles northeast of here.
 He left his car, hiked a few miles into Big Lake to fish and ther decided to go on farther to try a stream near the foothills to the south He never found the stream, but kept on going until he got to Birch Creek.
 Then he made his big mistake. Thinking the creek flowed south he followed downstream. Instead

Soviet Ship Sighted Nosing It's Way at
 St. Lawrence Island

The military authorities accept ed with complacency the report of another large Russian ship nosing itself along the shore of St.Law- renee Island between it's two main villages when reported by bush pilot Dick Catcher who was on flight in that area last Sat- urday.
 According to Galleher, the large gray ship, flying Russian flag, seemed to know where it didn't belong as it lost no time turning completely around and heading out to sea after the plane ap- peared and circled the ship.
 Local business leaders are con- cerned with the lack of interest shown by the military whic. i has s::s no planes based on the coast to investigate and patrol and pro- tect, if need be, the American interest.
 Contacts were made with Col. E. l.. Smith, public information officer at Elmendorf, and assur- ance was given that they knew the boat was there and are inter ested This does not satisfy the need for on-the-spot protection from aggressive visitors on either sea or land, it is felt here. Among the passengers Galle- her was carrying was Lawrence Elliot, writer for Readers Digest.
 Calls were placed directly to
 Washington, D. C., this morning
 asking that this coast, which bor- 1 ders Russia, be included in the defense which is being built up stronger and stronger in the heart Of Alaska.

Soviet Vessel Reverses
 Course After Asking for Medical Aid for Seaman

JUNEAU tH = A Russian sea- man in need of hospitalization, who had been expected to be landed at Dutch Harbor in the Aleutians, died after being taken instead to Siberian port, the Coast Guard reported today.
 The Soviet Union asked the U. IS. State Department last week for permission to bring the sea- man into Dutch Harbor for medi- cal attention and hospitalization.
 Permission was granted. but the Soviet vessel, the 238-foot refrigerator ship amarka n d, could not be contacted by radio and an air search by Coast Guard planes failed to locate the vessel.
 Yesterday, the Coast Guard re- quested the State Department to attempt to learn, through the Rus sian Embassy in Washington, D. C., the Samarkand's position and estimated time of arrival at Dutch Harbor.
 Last night, the Coast Guard was advised that the Samarkand, operating with Soviet fishing fleet in the Boring Sea, headed for Provideniya, on the Siberian Coast 25O miles west of Nome, rather than for Dutch Harbor The seaman died.
 It was still not known here why the seaman needed hospitalization or what his name was.

it went north, and he wandered farther away from any habitation.
 He had only q knife, machete and a few matches for equipment. He wore canvas shoes and a heavy canvas coat-types jacket
 His only food was wild cram berries, a few raspberries and rosechips (pods of wild roses gone to seed).
 He came across bears, once, but they ran away A few moose fled in startled surprise.
 After what he thought was only two or three weeks but actually was 21s months he heard an out board m otor while sleeping against a log a short distance from the creek. He tried to run to the bank. but was too weak and fell.
 The next day, lying on the side of the stream the boat carrying the two moose hunters, Ray Ko- solo and James Cunning of Fair banks, came back and Waters almost incredible ordeal was over, They brought him back to Circle Hot Springs = and safety.

Couple from McGrath
 Survive Four Days in the WiIds After Plane Crash

McGRATH lH = A couple and their infant daughter survived four days in the wilds of in terior Alaska after their light air plane crashed Thursday on the north fork of the Kuskokwim about 20 miles northeast of Mo- Grath.
 Harry Faulkner, his wife Eve lyn, and their daughter, Elizabeth, were forced down while on a flight from Anchorage to Me Grath by marginal weather and engine failure. The crash wiped out the plane and the Faulkners lost all their rations with the ex- ception of some baby food.
 Faulkner decided to attempt to get help by going down the Kus- kokwim to McGrath. He wrapped his arms around two logs and rode tine cold swirling waters of the river on and off for three days until he reached the village of Medera.
 There Air Force authorities were notified and bush pilot flew Faulkner to McGrath.
 Meanwhile 23-year-old Mrs. Faulkner and her six months old daughter were surviving on two cans of baby food and some damp cereal.
 Sunday morning an Eielson- based helicopter flew out of Ga lena and was able to spot the crash scene, landing on a nearby partially submerged sandbar. Two of the crew watied through waist deep water to carry the young mother and child to the waiting aircraft.
