Russia Claims To
Be Discoverers Of
Pacific America
LONDON, (/P) — The Russians
claimed Friday night they discov
ered the Pacific side of America in
the first half of the 18th century.
The report came from the news
agency Tass, reviewing a new book
by Ulexei Efimov called “Russian
Expeditions in the Pacific.” The
writers said Russian sailors visited
the Pacific coast of America be
fore 1760.
“If history maintains that Chris
topher Columbus discovered Amer
ica by approaching her from Eu
rope, the credit for the discovery
of America by approach from Asia
belong to Russian seafarers,” the
book said. The author said Russian
sailors named Prokopi Nagibin,
Afanassi Nalnikov, Mikhail Gvoz
dev, Alexei Chrikov and Vitus
Bering are among the Russian sail
ors who deserve to be called “Rus
sian Columbuses.”
The new Larned history says
Bering discovered the northwest
coast of America, which is Alaska,
by accident and not by design,
around 1751. The Russians were
anything but interested and sold
Alnska, known until then as “Rus
sian America,” 4o the United States
in 1867 for $7,200,000.
Wallace ‘Demands”
Clear Statements
From Opponents
SEATTLE, (JP)—Henry Wallace
demanded Saturday that President
Truman and Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey issue “clear and unequivo
cal" statements of their positions
on Spain, Israel, and Germany.
The Third-party candidate for
President, in the midst of a hard
driving effort to win votes in the
State of Washington sent almost
identical telegrams to the Demo
cratic and Republican nominees.
He asked Mr. Truman to make a
statement at the conclusion of his
conference with Secretary of State
Marshall Saturday.
He asked Gov. Dewey to make a
report on his recent conference
with John Foster Dulles, his ad
viser on foreign affairs.
Wallace meantime was pushing
himself hard in the State of Wash
ington. Instead of speaking only
once or twice, as in most states on
his present campaign tour the
Presidential candidate sped from
town to town, condemning “mis
leaders of labor,” the Taft-IIartley
law, un-American activities in
vestigations, “militarization,” and
I “war scares.”
