Takes Ride In
Soviet Germany
(Continued from Page One)
escorted on the trip by a Russian
officer he befriended while they
• both were doing liaison work dur
ing World War II.
Chatham told this story:
He recognized the Russian, in
civilian clothing, in a West Berlin
nightclub.
“He threw his arms around me
and we had a good talk. He asked
if I would like to take a trip with
him and I accepted.”
The next day the Russian took
Chatham to the Soviet sector of
Berlin, put on the uniform of a
senior Red army officer and took
a jeep from the Russian motor
pool.
He barked his way through half
; dozen checkpoints, explaining
>1 is American companion as a
friend from one of the East Euro
pean satellite countries.
Enrouto, Chatham said, the Rus
sian gave him these personal opin
ions—
1. The Soviets have lost face in
Asia over the Korean war.
ft. The Kremlin drive to bring
about Polish-East German friend
ship under communist rule has
failed so far. ,
3. ‘Every one-legged German
would carry guns against us <the
Russians) now.’’’

two-week period ended Monday,
his line got only 44 out of the 145 j
longshore gangs it ordered. ,
-That means vessel loading
times more than trippled in many'
instances,” he declared. “With j
maintenance costs ranging from
$1,500 to $4,200 per ship per day,
thousands of dollars loss is result
ing.
“The longshore union has devel
oped a pool of workers outside of
their membership to help alleviate
the situation, but they are finding
it impossible to train these people
fast enough to keep up with the
growing demand for men. Mean

ue to deteriorate without adequate
solution.”
He said “information available
here” indicates commercial ship
ping also has felt the squeeze in
other Pacific coast ports.

(Reported by Don Perkins)
Everyone is happy that the road
out to here is finished and are
looking forward to increased
1 travel out this way.
The hunting around Council has
been pretty poor this season, with
ducks, geese and ptarmigan all be
ing scarce.
Four bears were seen recently
in the Council area by the Army!
Geodetic groups, being sighted by
helicopter. One pilot chased a'
grizzly in his craft so long that j
the bear collapsed exhausted.
Pete Curran, Jr., of Solomon,
has been making deliveries from
i his store to Council since the road
1 to here has been completed.

‘Missing In Action9
Freed From Prison
SEATTLE, {/P)—'The 24th div
ision doughboys, beat the Army
casualty list in the case of Sgt.
Firt Mackrall.
His name appeared on a “miss
ing in action” list received from
the Defense department today.
But he was a free man before
the military channels got around
to reporting him missing. The
Co’lome, S.D., and former Tacoma
man was freed from a jail by ad
vancing American doughboys in
south Korea last week. War cor
respondents, in telling of his re
lease, said the Yanks shot off the
jail door to free Mackrall and his
few cell-mates.
He had been “missing in action”
as a prisoner for 25 days.
