.Suggest Greek Vote
Before Aid
I
* -
• WASHINGTON, (£>) — Senator1
Russell (D.^Ga.), proposed today
that Congress require a new vote
l*y the Greek people on the kind
of government they want as a con
dition to American financial and
military aid.
Russell announced his general
support of a pending $400,000,000
assistance bill designed to bolster
Greece and Turkey against Com
munism.
But he told a reporter he does
mi with no illusions that either
country now has a democratic form
of government and that he hopes
ja*ovision will be made for a new
plebescite in Greece when the
Senate considers the aid measure
next week.
"I’m being realistic about this,’’
Russell said. “I’m not saying that
I want to help democracy in
Greece ana Turkey, because I don’t
believe the people have it there.
But I’m for helping democracy in
the United States.
. "To do that. I’m willing to help
a^m the Turks against ou'- only
possible enemy — Russia. The
Turks are good fighters and if
they are going to stand up against
the Russians, who seem to be the
oijyl people we are likely to have
ayy trouble with, I’m willing to
help them.”
The Russell proposal for a new
vote in Greece seemed likely to
face state department opposition.
The department has advised the
Senate foreign relations committee
it‘considers that "both the Greek
and Turkish governments are es
sentially democratic and that both
are.progressing along the road of
democracy.”

Alaska Gels More
Telephone Service
SEATTLE, </P)—Another step in
improvement of communications
to Alaska was reached today, the
Alaska Communications system
said, with formal opening of the
Alcan telephone and telegraph
lines for commercial service be
tween Alaska and Canada and the
United States.
Inauguration of the new service
was highlighted by a telephone
conference call among Alaskan
Delegate E. L. Bartlett from his
office in Washington, Col. T. J.
Tully, commanding offices of the
ACS, from his Seattle office,
Mayor Hjalmar A. A. Nordale at
Fairbanks, Mayor William F. De
vin at Seattle and Mayor Earl
Riley at Portland.
The scheduled conference call
<11:30 a.m. PST.» involved an all
wire hookup of more than 5,000
miles.
The Alcan telephone and tele
graph lines, constructed by the U.
S. signal corps during the war at
a cost of about $10,000,000 is being
put to commercial use through co
ordinated efforts of the ACS and
the Northwest Communication
System, representing the United
States and Canadian governments,
respectively.
Calls from Alaskan points will
connect from Fairbanks directly
with the switchboard at Edmonton,
Canada, and from there will be
sent either over Canadian Tele
phone company lines to points in
Canada or over American Tele
phone and Telegraph long distance
circuits to the United States. Calls
to points in the United States han
dled over the Alcan circuits will
be routed to Seattle from Edmon
ton and thence to the city being
called. Calls from the United States
to the north will go through Seat
tle to the Edmonton switchboard
and then be relayed along the Al
can circuits to their destination.

For Alaska Waters
SEATTLE, (/P)—Built lor patrol
in the North Pacific but never yet
in Alaskan waters, the Coast
■ Guard cutter Northwind lay tied
' up at its Home port for the first
i time in nearly a year today after
; battling the huge ice floes of the
Antarctic.
The icebreaker returned yester
day after leading the way for the
i Byrd Antarctic expedition.
Naval and civil dignitares were
on hand to greet the vessel and ts
crew of 150 who made headlines
■ when the cutter towed the Yerrick.
Yancey and Mt. Olympus to safety
after they had been threatened by
ice packs.
As soon as the ship docked the
crew members were given their
first state-side liberty since Dec. 2
when the expedition left Norfolk.
Va., for the south polar seas.
Three dignified mascots—rock
hopper penguins destined for the
i city zoo—returned with the vessel.
Capt. C. W. Thomas of Seattle
; said the 6,900-ton Northwnd, one
of the most modern ice-breakers in
service, probably will resume its
regular station here for patrol in
the North Pacific.
