Plans Underway To Airlift Supplies To Unalakleet

ANCHORAGE R = The State Office of Civil Defense announced today plans are under way to air lift supplies of food and fuel into Unalakleet as an aftermath of a fire which destroyed the general store and Trading Post there.
 Civil Defense Director Don Lowell, who flew to the Northwest Alaska community to assess dam ages, said it is not yet known what supplies will be needed to see the town through the winter months.
 Lowell said that certain bulk items usually hauled in by barge were destroyed in the fire last Friday. Since there will be no more barge trips this year, these supplies will have to be airlifted, he said.
 Maj. Gen. Thomas Carroll, Adju- tant General of the Alaska Ma tional Guard, said it would be pos sible to combine the airlift with training exercises, if such an air lift becomes necessary. If so, he said, C-123 cargo ships of the Air National Guard based here would be used.
 Lowell said no immediate emer- gency exists which cannot be met by supplies still available in the village.

ANA Looks For Asian Flu Epidemic This Winter

CHICAGO R = The American Medical Association said today there are strong indications an epidemic of Asian flu will hit the United States in the winter just ahead
 The association, which earlier had warned of the possibility of an outbreak, said the disease has been making it's way slowly around the world from Asia since Jan- uary
 The AMA said nobody can pre- dict how serious the outbreak will be.
 The association said that in the five years since Asian flu first appeared in the United States it has contributed to the deaths of 90,000 Americans. It noted that the flu itself usually is not a killer, but that it weakens the body's defense against other dis eases.

World Lacks WILLINGNESS

doubt still remains = which is
the REAL Rockefeller?
In all fairness to Gov. Rookie
Teller, however. let it be said
that the central message of his
little volume Of lectures comes
through, regardless of the pre-
else point at which he may now
be standing.
What he proposes in "The Flu
ture of Federalism" is that the
nations of the world subscribe to
the federal" concept as a
means of living together in
peace. progress and prosperity.
That idea is challenging and
provocative. But it pre-supposes
not only an international willing
ness, but a worldwide capacity
to make federalism work. And
that is just too much to expect
at this time.
One necessary ingredient went
into the successful formula Of
the federated republic known as
the United States - the readi-
ness of the colonists for that de-
gree of responsible and repre-
sentative government. Nations
which are not ready for"reSponsi.
biity simply will not find the
federal system workable.

Reasons For
Poor Tobacco
Growth Listed

If the weather's been on you
side during this tobacco growing
season ~ but the corp is irregu-
lar or not growing satisfactory
it's a good time now to look
around for the reason.
G. R. Mathews, tobacco spe-
cialist at Virginia Polytechnic
Institute. lists several conditions
that are often responsible for
poor or irregular growth.
Fertilizer injury has been seen
on many flue cured tobacco
farms in the past few weeks. In
some instances. the injury was
caused because the roots of the
plants were set directly in the
fertilizer. In other cases, injury
was caused by the application of
too much fertilizer from which
fertilizer salts moved into the
root zone. Injury from fertilizer
causes plants to be stunted or
killed and growth to be irregu-
lar.
Fumigant injury to the roots
and shank of plants can occur if
transplanting is done too soon
after soil is funigated.
Look Below Surface
Often growers make the mis-
take of thinking poor growth is
caused by inadequate fertiliza-
ton when the trouble is caused
by root diseases or soil inhabit-
ing insects. It is important to
look below the soil surface to
find the answer to many tobacco
growth problems. Slow growth
and poor root development may
be caused by a shortage of phos-
phorus. Phosphorus deficiency is
more likely to occur on newly
cleared land and on heavier soils
than on lighter soils that have
been planted to tobacco for sew
eral years.
Mathews says also that poor
and irregular growth often re-
suits when tobacco is planted on
the wrong soil type and on fields
with top soil varying in depth.

Bows, BIB Guns And Birds

CMALL boys, like their adult counter
- parts, like to shoot guns, and like
adults, small boys like to shoot at some
thing
Up to the age when the issuance of
gun permits and hunting licenses is
permitted, the nearest thing to a rifle
that boy can shoot is BIB gun, and
the most natural live target for these
boys is birds.
AS civilization encroaches on the
countryside. fewer and fewer of our
feathered friends seek the cities haunts,
and bird lovers find it necessary to lure
them to their premises with bird baths,
feeder stations and other devices to pro-
vide suitable environment.
1t takes only one thoughtless boy with
BIB gun to destroy the results of low
ing care wrought over long period Of
time
1t takes only one little BIB pellet to
kill a creature that, because of it's
bright feathers, sprightly spirit and
thrilling note, brings happiness to many
people and beauty to our world.
We do not ask that boys be deprived
of the pleasure of owning BIB gun or
any other weapon that. if misused. can
prove injurious. if not lethal, to man
and animals alike.
We DO ask that parents or others,
who give such weapons to children also
instruct them in the weapons proper
use and on their responsibilities toward
the world of nature.

Age Of Enjoyment

IN Monrovia, Liberia, census officials
report they have found a lady who
claims to be one hundred and fifty five
years old She identified herself as Zoe
Aepteh, resident of village in North
west Liberia.
The census Official reported that she
was bright eyed, very alert, walked
with the aid of walking cane Her only
comment to him was Il don't care how
long you live, you never be satisfied
with life"
There is indeed some truth in what
the lady has spoken. From our OBJ
servance, there are great many people
who can live until eternity without
enjoying life. Others would appear to
enjoy life to the fullest almost one
hundred per cent Of the time Enjoying
life seems to involved a great deal in a
persons mental attitude
No matter how humble the circum-
stance or how difficult the tasks, some
people will enjoy the things which are
around them, including the opportun-
tiles, nature, ct cetera. Others invariabl
will not enjoy life no matter how good
their circumstances. how great their
opportunities, with untold blessings
bestowed upon them. 1t would seem that
there is an art to enjoying life and with
some effort, curiosity and interest,
person could master it with little effort.

Race And Reason Review

RACE AND REASON "A YAM
KEE VIEW. BY Carleton Put
nam. Washington, D. c.: Public
Affairs Press. 1861. $3.25. Pages.
125. Reviewed by Stuart Camp
bell, Of the Virginia Barr
This short treatise on the int
grafton problem may well be-
come one Of the most important
books Of this generation. It's COM
parative brevity, simplicity of
style and terseness of expression
commend it to the ordinary
reader. while at the same time
its forceful and cogent presenta-
ton Of the subject will intrigue
the more scientific and learned
peruser.
There are many remarkable
things connected with this book,
among them. first, a foreword
by a distinguished journalist,
next. an introduction by four of
the foremost biological scientists
in the fields of genetics, psy-
chology, anthropology, zoology
and anatomy, who say:
Our professional interest
:. Lies in the scientific founda-
ton on which Mr.. Putnam
rests his thesis. We are in
complete accord with what
he has to say concerning
these foundations.
Finally Tor should we say
"first'O there is the author him
self. Mr.. Putnam is a New Eng
lander, a collateral descendant
of General Israel Putnam. He
was graduated from Princeton
with a degree in science, and
honors in history and politics,
and from Columbia with an
LIB. He turned from law to
business, became a nationally
known airline executive and upon
retirement from this field has
become a biographer of note. A
work by a man of such broad
educational, professional an d
scientific experience would be in
teresting on any subject, and the
present volume, dealing with a
vital and absorbing question. is
arresting.
Mr.. Putnam writes with the
fluency of an educator, the SIM
plicity Of a master. the forceful-
ness of an advocate, the exact
ness of a scientist, the compass
sion of a friend and the cold
courage characteristic Of his dis
tingulshed ancestry.
The purpose Of the book is to
direct public attention to the
danger inherent in the integra-
ton decision Brown V. Board of
Education, 347 U. S. 483), to
demonstrate its fallacious foun-
dalton. and to point out the rem
edy available to prevent possible
national disaster. Briefly, the
danger is the biological fact,
known to breeders of animals,
that the product obtained from
mixing the superior with the in
ferior is in turn inferior to the
highest. If this process is con-
tinued to its logical conclusion
the superior will disappear, leav-
ing only the less desirable mixed
progeny to continue, thus weak
ening or destroying the Ameri-
can civilization.
The remedy is clearly stated;
namely, a campaign visualized
as follows:
It's general object should
be to reeducate the Ameri-
can people in the principles
upon which our republic was

based and through which it
grew to greatness. Neither
equality nor Indignation were
among them. In sum, my
personal view is that nothing
can be accomplished without
changing the climate of pub
lie opinion in the North, Mid
West and West, but that the
climate can be q mckl Y
changed once the core of the
issue is made clear.
The publication of this book
seems almost providentially
timely because of the admission
of DR.. Alfred H. Kelly, one of
the experts on constitutional his
tory, employed for the plaintiffs
in the Brown and allied cases. to
develop the historical phase of
the 14th Amendment. Speaking
before the American Historical
Association on December %,
1851. DR.. Kelly is quoted as say
ing:
1t is not that we engaged
in formulating lies; there
was nothing as crude and
naive as that. But we were
using facts. emphasizing
facts, bearing down on facts,
sliding off facts. quietly ig-

interpreting facts in way

1t will also probably lead to still

adverse affect on the stability and

International policies of the United
States and the organization of the

situation. Failure to win the Korean
War, by letting the United Nations con-

by United States fighting men, was the
beginning of the the present dilemma.
Upon it Communism has built until al

Big Fish-Little Fish

DIG fish have historically eaten the

Applying the principle to interna-
tional politics, the new president Of the
PHILIPPINES has put in claim to the
British for North Borneo. This is the
latest in the grabbing game that was
kicked off in earnest when India sud-
denly marched troops into Goa and took
the Portugal colony.
That seemed to inspire Indonesia to
hurry it's course of action in pressing
for rule in Irian, a Dutch land in New
Guinea. AS result, the Indonesians
have begun military aggression against
the Dutch.
President Diosdade Macapagal of
the Philippines apparently thought the
time was right for his country Greed

Government handed the British a note
claiming North Borneo and asking for
negotiations-neg in which the
British would turn over North Borneo
to the Philippines!
The British rejected the claim, and
said they would feel bound to resist
any move to extend Philippine sover-
eighty over the crown colony : which
has been British for hundreds of years
The distressing thing about the ac-
