CIVIL AIR PATROL WEEK
The Mayor of Nome, Charles D. Jones has pro
claimed this week as Civil Air Patrol Week, in ob
servance of the tenth anniversary of the Civil Air Pat
rol, and commemorating a decade of volunteer civilian
service.
The primary objectives of the CAP include the
performance of search and rescue missions, and its
work in our community speaks for itself.
The Cadet program, which has grown since 1942,
to around 40,000 members, is an active group in our
community with twTenty-four of our teen-agers taking
part. Some of them had their first trip to the States
last summer when they attended a summer encamp
ment at McChord Air Force base in Washington State.
The Cadets are sponsoring a dance commemorat
ing CAP week, Friday night, the proceeds from
which will be used to purchase uniforms for the en
tire group. Support this project so that the Cadets can
all have uniforms!
Appeals To Britain To
Agree To American Naval
Commander In Atlantic
ROME, (/P)—The United States
and Belgium introduced separate
resolutions to the North Atlantic
Council Tuesday, designed to
speed establishment of a Euro
pean army.
Both resolutions were quickly
referred to the NATO deputies,
who will try to combine them
into one plan to put before the
council.
Other developments at the
NATO meeting included:
1. A private breakfast at which
Gen. Eisenhower entertained Brit
ish Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden. Eisenhower appealed for
British agreement to the appoint
ment of an American naval com
mander for the North Atlantic
and adoption of .30 caliber am
munition as the standard for the
Atlantic armies’ small arms.
2. A meeting of the Big Three
foreign and defense ministers to
discuss the proposed Middle East
Command.
3. A report to the council on
the military might of Russia *and
her satellites in which, among
other things, it was said the So
viet Union is speeding her MIG
15 jet fighter—of Korean fight
ing fame—to the air forces of her
partners.

Reds Sentence
Catholic Priest
To ‘Exile’ In U.S.
ROSWELL, N. M„ (tf>) — A
Catholic priest, sentenced to “ex
ile” in the United States l*ast June
by Red China, is recuperating
here.
After his three-hour trial early
last summer, Father Leon Sulli
van, a tall Irishman from De
troit, said he expected -a bullet
in the back of his head.
Instead he was “condemned to
exile in the good old.U.S.A.” he
exclaimed. “I couldn’t believe my
ears!”
Father Sullivan said he was
charged with five murders, 20
rapes, espionage and “counter
revolutionary activities.”
Two “witnesses” beat him while
charging him with various mur
ders.
“The people there all knew the
truth, but the truth didn’t, mat
, ter,” he said. “Finally the trial
I ended, and they had to drag me
off the platform.”
Then the communist leader
pulled a prepared document from
his pocket and started reading.
Sullivan recalls it like this:
“The priest Sullivan, is an im
perialist who uses religion as a
cloak for counter-revolutionary
activities and espionage for im
perialist America, is condemned
to perpetual exile as an enemy of
the people.”
IvIIG Alley for his fifth kill of
the Korean fighting.

He scored his previous MIG
kills on June 17, Sept. 25, Oct. 5
and Oct. 23.
Cease-Fire Line
Agreement
Signed Tuesday
MUNSAN, Korea, (JP) — Truce
negotiators signed a cease-fire
line agreement Tuesday and im
mediately developed two vital
differences on how to supervise
■an armistice in Korea.
United Nations delegates in
sisted on:
1. Joint Allied-Communist in
spection teams with “free access
to all parts of Korea.’’
2. Provision against military
buildups by either side.
Neither point was included in
a plan proposed by the Reds, who
have never permitted outsiders in
communist Korea.
The full five-man negotiating
| teams — all in full dress except
for two drably-clad Chinese gen
erals—approved a cease-fire line
agreement opening the way for an
armistice within 30 days. Then
they plunged into the next truce
question. That is supervision of
an armistice. Each presented its
own ideas.
Fighting quieted along the fro
zen, 145-mile front as the full
five-man truce teams met for the
first time since Oct. 25.
Crippled B-36 Makes
Safe Landing After Six
And a Half Hours In Air
FORT WORTH, Texas, f/P)—A
skeleton crew guided a crippled
B-36 bomber to a safe landing
Monday after circling the field
6 and a half hours attempting to
fix a damaged landing gear.
All except three member of the
19-man crew parachuted before
the giant plane came down.
The 28-year-old pilot said a
steady rain helped him land the
plane safely.
“But someone else was pulling
for us, too, I think,” added Capt.
Clarence F. Horton of San An
tonio.
The heavy-set pilot, a West
Point graduate, made a tricky
five-engine landing with the giant
atom bomb carrier.

Big Three Accept Plan
Private Disarmament
Talks With Russia
PARIS, UP)—The Western Big
Three today formally accepted the
Asian-Arb plan for private dis
armament talks, but Soviet For
eign Minister Andrei Vishinsky
dodged direct appeals to give the
Russian answer.
With Western acceptance, the
decision on the closed-door discus
sions lay squarely up to Russia.
Observers at the United Nations
Genera] Assembly felt Vishinsky’s
refusal to give a straight answer
meant the Kremlin has not made
up its mind whether it wants to
get down to brass tacks about
ridding the world of growing
arms programs.
Luis Battle-Berres of Uruguay
and Salvador P. Lopez of the
Philippines, speaking at today’s
session of the assembly’s political
committee, both appealed to Vish
insky to speak up. They said it
was useless for delegates from
small countries to keep on talk
inb about disarmament without
knowing Russia’s answer.
