Week Dog Team
Trek In Arctic
PALMER, Alaska, (/P)—A Pal
mer missionary and a friend set
out last week on «a 1,000-mile
seven-week swing by truck and
dog team across Arctic wastes to
Dawson, Yukon Territory, and re
turn. Temperatures in the area
frequently drop to 70 below.
The trek will be made by Ever
ett Bachelder, of Palmer’s Valley
Christian Home for Children, and
Lee Barry of Seward, an em
ployee of the Alaska Railroad who
was granted three month’s leave
to accompany the missionary (
worker.
The two will go by truck to
Mile 40, beyond Tok Junction, and
make the rest of the journey by
dog sled. From Mile 40 they will
travel to Tetlin and Chicken, then
through the Jack Wade country
to Dawson. Their return route
either will be via the Alaska High-,
way or the Yukon River to Fair
banks.

Nome last year with three of his
huskies).

United Nations forces advance
along a 40-mile western front
against stubborn resistance. They
are reported nearing the main
Chinese Red defense lines where
60,000 Chinese communists are
massed. MacArthur was told Red
Chinese casualties since Jan. 1
were 40,000 dead, and 120,000
wounded. Officers express belief
the present lull is a prelude to a |
renewed full scale assault.
At Lake Success the Arab- j
Asian bloc adds a cease-fire first I
stipulation to its peace conference ,
i
plan for Korean settlement, and
U. S. continues to press for her
demand that Red China be named
an aggressor.
In Washington, Gen. Eisenhow
er is to report to Congress this
week on his Atlantic Pact tour. It
may exert decisive influence on :
the troops-to-Europe issue. French
Premier Rene Pleven schedules a
formal talk with President Tru
man in his quest for closer Amer- !
ican-French cooperation under
the Atlantic Pact.
