Baseball Game At
Point Barrow
POINT BARROW, (>P)—A race
against time and the threat of the
Arctic ice pack was carried on
around the clock as lighters shut
tled between the navy’s Point
Barrow supply fleet and shore.
Patrol planes kept the convoy
constantly advised of the shifting
ice cap’s position—last reported
Saturday as seven miles out.
Meanwhile, two LST’s shoved
steadily eastward in the wake of
the icebreaker Burton Island, car
rying supplies to the air force’s
remote LORAN (long range nav
igation) station on Barter Island
close to the Alaska-Canada line.
Also headed for the island is
the Canadian cutter Yellowknife
with similar supplies for that
country’s units of the joint U. S.
Canadian defense system.
Unloading of the year’s sup
plies here will continue until the
last of the 42,000 tons is safely on
the beach.
In conditions warrant, ending
the arduous task will be followed
by a baseball game between a
team from the flotilla’s flagship,
the USS Union, and native Eski
mos.
The villagers were challenged
by Capt. J. U. Lademan, com
mander of the expedition, who
said his ship’s team was the cham
pion of the fleet.
The natives, who play at every
opportunity, will have the advan
tage of being familiar with the
gravelly field.

I were warned not to mention any

This development came as the
Russians hurled new threats at
Berlin’s anti-communists, and the
United States headed more super
1 fortresses and its ranking air
chiefs toward Germany.
. Pravda, meanwhile, published
! prominently a Berlin dispatch
charging American and British
airmen with 62 flying violations
in the air lift to Berlin. The com
munist party newspaper singled
out various instances of alleged
violations by fighter planes as
well as cargo ships.
Only Friday the official Soviet
j news agency here said American
| and British planes running sup
j plies to Berlin could be forced
down for flight violations. An
American air force official retort
ed that ‘‘Things are going to be
pretty tough around here” if the
Russians try.
In London and heading for
Germany for an on-the-spot check
of the flying supply line to Berlin
are secretary for air W. Stuart
Symington and Lt. Gen. Hoyt S.
Vandenberg. chief of staff of the
air force.
The arrival of these high-rank
ing figures at this time touched
off speculation in London diplo
matic circles that their purpose is:
1. To underline to the Russians
the American determination to
maintain and increase the air lift
as long as the Russians continue
| to block the surface routes to
Berlin from the western zones of
Germany.
2. To plan for the future, in
cluding the coming winter, if no
‘agreement is reached.

WASHINGTON, (/P) — Demo- j

The decision to make an aggres- |

the GOP record in Congress—was
said to have been confirmed at
the first of what may be a series
of White House strategy meetings.
Advisors weer said to have

to keep the Republicans off bal

—at their legislative record.

FAIRBANKS GETS
GOTfT MILK, BY AIR
FAIRBANKS, — (JP) —The first
goat milk ever flown to Alaska
arrived here last week-end in the
original containers.
Three nanny goats and four kids
landed none the worse for their
aerial voyage. They were shipped
from Otis Orchards, Wash., by
Mr. and Mrs. Johann Olsson who
plan to try their hand later at
homesteading and goat raising near
Fairbanks.
Mrs. Olsson, who once called
herself the “Floating Cleopatra,”
claims a record of floating 98
hours in the open sea, and of cov
ering a mile in 80 minutes while
treading water and holding an
open umbrella.
She says her most spectacu
lar feat was remaining afloat
while playing four musical in
struments.
After that goat herding should
be a cinch.
