Inf I Agreement On
Atomic Energy
•
NEW YORK. (iP)—U. N. Secre
tary-general Trygve Lie said Sat
urday President Truman’s an
nouncement shows more than ever
the need tor international agree
ment on atomic energy.
Informed that Mr. Truman had
announced the United States has
evidence of an atomic explosion :
m the Soviet Union, Lie made this j
comment:
“If it is true that they have the j
atomic bomb, it shows how indis- 1
pensible international agreement
is.”
The Truman announcement cre
ated a stir in the 59-nation assem
bly. The highest U. N. official first
learned of the President’s state
ment while presiding over a ses
sion devoted to national policy
statements in the -assembly.
Reporters sent a note with the
news to assembly president Carlos
P. Romulo on the rostrum of the
big hall in Fishing Meadow’ Park.
Jake Johnson, aged 66, pioneer
of Deering, where he has mined
for many years, died on Thursday
at the hospital. Mr. Johnson was
born in Sweden in 1883. Burial
has been -announced for Wednes
day at two o’clock at the Feder
ated Church with Rev. R. Treat in
charge.
Lie, sitting beside him, left the
dais after the note arrived.
A. A. Arutiunian, ranking Sov
iet delegate on the assembly floor
when the announcement was
made, said:
“I have heard this news from
the President for the first time.”
“Is it true that the Soviet Union
has the atomic bomb?” he was
asked.
“I have no comment,” Arutiuni
an replied.
Asked if the President’s an
nouncement was a surprise, Aru
tiunian laughed and said:
“There is no surprise under the ;
sun.”
Asked if that was a confirma
tion,” he laughed and said:
“It is merely a general comment.
It is an old Russian saying.”

Will Put Air Force
Hase Al North Pole
_ •
OSLO, Norway, (A*)—'The U. S.
air force is going to establish a
base on the ice at the North Pole
next spring.
Col. Bernt Balchen, here after a
flight over the Arctic, disclosed
the plans yesterday to newsmen.
He said the air rescue base would
give American fliers experience in
the Polar regions.
Balchen said there wouldn't be
any difficulty landing ski-equip
ped- transport planes at the North
Pole. At least 10 per cent of the
Polar ice surface is always suit
able for landing, he declared.
But the base will float on ice,
and will have to be moved at in
tervals, Balchen said. The ice j
drifts slowly away from the Pole,
and the base will drift with it.
Elizabeth Moxley, special repre
sentative of the Public Health
Service is working with the teach
ers in this division in the interest
of working through them for the
program of her department. She
returned from Kotzebue yester
day.
