UNPREPAREDNESS RISKS OUR FREEDOM
Early in 1952, the United States will be called
upon to approve the report of a civilian commission,
which recently recommended a program for the de
velopment of universal military training at the earliest
practicable moment.
The United States has gone into two wars in a
state of ghastly unpreparedness and, despite the losses
that this condition entailed, reduced its armed strength
to military impotence almost immediately upon the
cessation of hostilities.
Universal military training, according to General
of the Army George C. Marshall, will be “a greater
deterrent to possible aggressors or murderers of world
peace than even the atomic power, now in a rapid
state of development.” Because the threat of war will
prevail for many years, the former Secretary of State
thinks that, “to be unprepared these days would be a
tragic risk of our freedom.” He wants a program of
military training that will be “reasonably secure
against sudden fluctuations of public opinion.”
ATA To Appeal
CAB Decision To
Get Out of Business
SEATTE, iJP) — Air Transport
Associates, Inc., a nonscheduled
air carrier, flying between Seattle
and Anchorage, Alaska, will ap
peal to the courts the Civil Aero
nautics Board’s refusal to recon
sider its order that Air Transport
Associates suspend operations.
Duncan R. Miller, general man
ager of A.T.A., said a brief will
be prepared ar.d the case probab
ly will be filed by the middle of
next week.
Commenting on the CAB rising,
Miller said “This is in keeping
with CAB policy over the years.
We’ve been expecting it. In the
past four years the CAB has put j
out of operation virtually every j
independent carrier serving Alas
ka either through economic regu
lation or other strangulation
rules.”
The CAB ruling, announced ;
Wednesday in Washington, D.C., !
gives the air line 30 days in which
to wind up its affairs, unless it |
should appeal to the courts. The
board said ATA had violated the
terms of its permit by establish-1
ing a regular schedule between
Seattle and Anchorage.
“Air Transport’s airplane ca
pacity will not be lost to the de
fense effort,” the CAB announced,
“because the planes will revert to
the Air Force from which they
were leased and doubtless will be
re-leased to other carriers.”
“We’re too big to ignore but
not big enough to afford our own
lobby in Washington,” Miller de
clared.

Three School Girls
Attempt To Enlighten
Russians About U. S.
BERLIN, (/P)—Three American
girls took it on themselves today
to try to enlighten the Russians
about the United States.
The Longview, Wash., school
girls sent their formula to the U.S.
radio station RIAS in Berlin with
a note saying:
“We have taken pictures o*f
parts of our town. We would ap
preciate it if you would send them
in balloons to the U.S.S.R. across
the Iron Curtain.”
The signers were Julie Davis,
Sharon Stuart and Jeanie Cox (of
22nd AveJ
Four scenes of urban and rural
life, industry, education and the
outdoors bore the inscriptions:
“Free recreation,” “Schooling for
Everyone,” “The Right to Live In
the City or the Country” and
“The Freedom to Work.”
RIAS officials said they would
do their best to carry out the as
signment.
Egyptian Delegate Attacks
French Control of Morocco
In UN Committee Meeting
PARIS, <j*P) — France walked
out of the United Nations trustee
ship committee today in protest
against an Egyptian speech blast
ing French control of Morocco.
Egyptian delegate Fouad El
Pharaony attacked France in the
committee meeting today for re
fusing to give Morocco its inde
pendence.
At this, French delegate Leon
Pignon and his staff of advisors
left the room after insisting the
committee had no right to discuss
political matters.
The Moroccan question was not
on the agenda of the committee,
although the Arab countries have
indicated they will seek to place
it before the General Assembly
later in the current session.

Kotzebue Holds
Carnival Benefit
Crippled Children
Balloons are floating over Kot
zebue and whistles are shrilling,
hangovers of the carnival spon
sored by the local chapter of the
ACCA. From the time the doors
opened at 7:30 in the two build
ings donated for the affair, until
the bingo players reluctantly
turned in their cards many hours
later, an overflow crowd of ap
proximately 500 streamed back
and forth in true carnival spirit.
Under the able leadership of
the Kotzebue ACCA president,
Alice Connolly, members of the
local chapter made hundreds of
doughnuts, popcorn balls, pre
pared 20 gallons of ice cream, gal
lons of pink lemonade, and ar
raged booths for fish ponds, the
wheel of fortune, darts where the
bulls eye was a five-dollar bill,
and bingo tables.
Through the courtesy of the
local Wien Alaska Airlines man
ager, George Conwell, the large
Wien building was made avail
able to the bingo players and the
coffee and doughnut counter.
Thomas Richards, Alaska Nation
al Guard commander, offered the
use of their building, where the
gala crowd massed for the other
booths, and still there was not
enough room.
Again through tangible results,
Kotzebue showed the progress of
this Arctic village in recent years.
The response to this first com
munity project group in Kotze
bue demonstrates the possibilities
of local organization and the
pressing need for a community
building.
