NOME CAP CADETS OUTSTANDING
The Nome CAP Cadets, both girls and boys, proved
themselves outstanding during the recent encamp
ments held at Anchorage and McChord Field.
The boys and girls who were able to take advan
tage of this special branch of military training should
recognize with appreciation that these trips were made
possible through the perserverance of the local com
mander, Lester Bronson, through whose efforts the
cadets were organized here.
They also owe a great deal to training officer Lt.
Bob Emmons, who for the past four months has given
not less than four hours of his time gratis every week
so that they might be prepared to take part in the
encampments.
While the boys were at McChord Field they re
ceived 70 hours of instruction in GCA, weather, jet
planes, and map reading.
The Nome boys were the best behaved in military
courtesy of the 280 boys -who attended.
The Nome girls were considered the outstanding
group at Willow in all phases of training. They each re
ceived one hour of co-pilot training with Capt. Stone
of CAP and had 40 hours of instruction. j
The conduct of the Nome Cadets reflects highly
on their training officer.
All the boys who have returned received promo-j
tions as a result of their efforts.
Nome is indebted to all those CAP officials who
have made possible and are continuing to make pos
sible this training for the young people of the com
munity.

N.Y. Arson Plot
Backfires Into
Million Dollar Fire
NEW YORK, (JP) — A furtive,
drawn-out plot to burn a small
clothing firm to collect $20,000
insurance backfired Tuesday into
triple arrests after two men died
in a thunderous, million-dollar
blast and fire.
The victims were a city detec
tive and one of the alleged arson
ists he had trailed into a nine
story Manhattan business building
Monday night. The structure was
wrecked when 55 gallons of gaso
line blew up.
Another detective was blown
through a wall, and a second ac
cused “torch” was thrown five
stories down an elevator shaft,
landing in the basement atop an
elevator car. Both were seriously
hurt.
The terrific explosion, which
police said fumbling arsonists had
planned as Only a minor one, shat
tered windows for blocks around.
The fire raged out of control for
more than three hours.
Charged with homicide and ar
son were A1 Keshner, 42-year-old
president of a sports coat firm on
the building’s fifth floor, and two
alleged hirelings, Jack Weiss, 67,
and Jake Mayron, 59. The other
alleged arsonist — named as the
man who set off the fuse and who
died in the ensuing holocaust—
was Moe Shapiro. The detective
who died was James Daggett.
Assistant District Attorney A1
Herman said that Keshner admit
ted that discouragement over loss
of an account had led him to hire
the gang for $1,350 to burn his
plant so he could collect the in
surance.
Detectives had been watching
the four men for 40 days.

U.S. Plane Strafes
Kaesong Neutral
Zone by Mistake
TOKYO, <#’> — The United Na
tions command admitted Tuesday
night that one of its planes strafed
the Kaesong neutral zone by mis
take Monday.
The Reds charged that the plane
raked the site of the suspended
Korean armistice talks before
dawn Monday.
The headquarters of -the Sup
reme Allied Commander, Gen.
Matthew B. Ridgway, said Vice
Adm. C. Turner Joy, chief Allied
negotiator at the truce talks, will
send his communist counterpart
this message Wednesday morning:
“The United Nations Command
regrets this violation of the agreed
neutrality which resulted from the
pilot’s error in navigation. Ap
propriate disciplinary action is
being initiated.’’
The Allied reply notes that no
casualties were inflicted and only
slight damage was caused.
This is the first time the U.N.
command has admitted any basis
to Red charges of neutrality zone
violation. The strafing charge was
the 11th by the Reds.
The U.N. Command statement
said a plane detected by Allied
radar in the Kaesong area at the
time of the Red-report strafing
turned out to be a U.S. bomber.
The statement continued:
i
“Faulty n-avigation on pilot’s
j part led to error.”
