INTERVIEW WITH ODAQ SHOWS CONTRAST
BETWEEN JETS & SLED FOR TRAVEL TO POLE
_ ^
By Ellon C. Fay
WASHINGTON, (/P) —What is
the Arctic like where the United
States has chosen to* build great
air bases for its perimeter de
fenses?
Now that the flier with his jet
fighters and strategic bombers
have come, it is a strange mixture
of the old, unchanging for north
and the new ways of a man from
a temperate zone, of glaciers mil
lions of years old and airdrome
runways in which the concrete
is barely hardened.
It is a place where planes take
off from the huge and busy air
base at Thule to wing northward
to the Pole in a few hours flying
time, and it is a place where just
across a bay from the air base
lives Odaq, the Eskimo who went
with Peary to the North Pole in
1909.
Newsmen who visited Thule re
cently, including this reporter,
went to call on Odaq at his house
in the little Eskimo village. He
came out to greet them, a very
old man, wearing white polar
bear pants. On his shirt was the
Danish government’s decoration
(equivalent to the U.S. Distin
guished Service Medal) for being
with the first man to reach the
Pole.
While a jet plane warmed up
to screaming crescendo across the
bay, Odaq remembered some of
the things about the famous first
trip to the farthest north 43 years
ago. »
Did he see much game while
on the long trek from the Eskimo
village of* Etah, just north of
Thule to the Pole? Through an
interpreter he answered:
“A little. Some seals.”
Then he placed his foot down
in front of him, to show an im
print, and spoke.
“Also polar bear tracks, but no
polar bears.”
When did he see Rear Adm.
Robert E. Peary?
Odaq couldn’t put the answer
in dates. He thought. He spoke and
pointed to the north (the Pole);
to the northwest (Etah, where
Peary left); to* the south (where
%
Peary went).
The interview was over. Odaq
shook hands gravely with his
visitors. He turned and made his
way back into the house where
he lives alone, the years heavy
upon him. And the jet fighter
whistled down the runway and
into the air to cover, in the space
of an hour, the miles it had taken
Odaq weeks to trudge behind a
dog sled so very long ago.

That the Democrats in Juneau and Washington, hav

have never during the past 20 years established new and
needed industries in any of the Eskimo villages. The
Eskimo people could and would become completely inde

ernment. For such industries and independence —

Caudle Says Congressmen
Tried to Influence His
Judgment on Tax Cases
| WASHINGTON. (/P)—T. Lamar
Caudle testified Tuesday that
Congressmen frequently tried to
influence his judgment on tax
fraud cases and other criminal
: prosecutions.
Caudle also told House investi
gators that a White House secre
I tary called him in a successful
effort to postpone a case involv
i n g a St. Louis businessman
charged with a “very substantial
tax fraud.”
Caudle, former assistant attor
ney general who once headed the
Justice Department’s criminal and
tax divisions, was fired by Presi
dent Truman last November for
“outside' activities.”
His testimony on what he called
“pressure” on him was given to
a House subcommittee headed by
Rep. Chelf (D-Ky) which is in
vestigating the Justice Depart
ment.
Anti-Freeze Covered by
Alaska Ceiling Price Rule
JUNEAU — The Alaska Office
of Price Stabilization last week
reminded service stations and
garages that all anti-freeze sold
in Alaska is covered by a dollar
and-cent ceiling price regulation.
Sales of this much-used com
modity are covered by Ceiling
Price Regulation 111, which went
into effect last January, the OPS
said.
The regulation establishes spec
ific prices for various types of
anti-freeze in three geographical
areas of Alaska. Copies of the
regulation were mailed to all
dealers last winter but additional
copies may be obtained from OPS
branch offices in Fairbanks, An
chorage and Ketchikan, or by
writing the district office in Ju
neau.
Legal Blanks at The Nugget office
McGranery Orders
Study of Legality
Of Extra Funds
WASHINGTON, Attorney
General James P. McGranery
was reported Tuesday to have
ordered a study of the whole
question of the legality of supple
mental funds received by public
officials.
The survey, obviously, was
prompted by the current furor
over the disclosure that $18,235
has been made available to Sen.
Richard Nixon by California sup
porters for use as a special ex
«
pense fund while serving in the
Senate.
The Justice Department does
not admit this. In fact, it is an
swering every question concern
ing the survey with a “no com
ment.”
However, the situation appears
to shape up like this:
No investigation of the Nixon
fund, as such, is being made. But
Justice Department aides have
begun a general examination of
the statutes relating to expense
accounts or other supplemental
funds received by officials to de
termine just how far public offi
cials might go in this field with
out transgressing the U.S. crimi
nal code.
It is believed that we are using
the same water that existed on
earth when the world began, al
though it has been turned from
liquid to vapor or ice and back
again many, many times.
