as a lieutenant in the Soviet arm

Formal notification was imme
diately handed to XL N. secretary
genertl Trygve Lie and to Sir
Gladwyn Jebb of Britain, this
month’s security council president.
President Truman was inform
ed of the incident but Presidential
| secretary Charles G. Ross told re
porters he did not hear him ex
press any reaction. Ross said he
assumes Mr. Truman had approv
ed in advance the submission of
i
the report by the state department
to the U. N. as a matter of course.
The department located the in
cident “approximately” at the 38th
parallel, which is the boundary
between North and South Korea.
The brief announcement did not
pinpoint the action above or be
low that parallel.
Thus there was no indication
whether the shooting took place
in waters which the communists
regard as their own. It was on the
west coast, which borders on the
Yellow Sea south of communist
Manchuria and east of Red China.
The state department said the
bomber “identified only by bear
ing a red star” passed over one
of the outer ships in a U. N. for
mation and headed toward the
center “in a hostile manner.”
“The bomber opened fire upon
I a United Nations fighter patrol
which returned its fire and shot it
down,” the state department said.
“A United Nations destroyer
succeeded in picking up the body
of one member of the bomber
crew. Identification papers indi
cated that the body was that of
Lieut. Mishin Tennadii Vasilebiu
of the armed forces of the U. S. S.
R. No. 25054.”
U. S. two-engined bombers
carry a crew of from four to seven
men.
It was made public in the early
morning hours yesterday, at a
time when officials who generally
had been away from their desks
over the long holiday week end
weer reluctant to comment with
out additional facts.
The Flemish Knot of the Alaska
Steamship Co., is reported due in
Kotzebue this morning, having
completed discharging at Deering.
Sterling Highway
Dedicated Today
JUNEAU, (^P) — On September
6, 1950, a ceremony will be held
to dedicate the Sterling Highway,
newly completed road connecting
Seward with the western side of
the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. This
highway extends from a point 38
miles north of Seward, on the
Seward-Anchorage highway, west
ward 70 miles to Kenai, and
thence southward 138 miles, by
way of Kasilof and Minilchik, to
Homer. It links some of the finest
agricultural land of Alaska with
Seward, its most important south
coast port. The road was largely
constructed new since 1946 by the
Alaska Road Commission and is
! being completed this summer.
Next year, the entire highway
system of the Kenai Peninsula
will be linked with Anchorage and
the United States by way of Tum
again Arm Road which is still un
| der construction.
Th Sterling Highway has added
, interest for all Alaskans in that it
! was named after Hawley W. Ster
ling, old time Alaskan engineer
who served a lifetime with the
Alaska Road Commission and was
; its Assistant Chief Engineer from
1932 until his death in 1948. Mrs.
|
i Edna Sterling, his widow, of Seat
tle, has been invited to attend the
dedication ceremony.
The dedication will be perform
ed by Governor Ernest Gruenmg.
! Judge Anthony J. Dimond, Lt.
1 Gen. William E. Kepner, and ma
yors and other notables of An
chorage, Seward, Kenai, Homer
and other communities served by
or interested in the Sterling High
way are expected to attend. Dele
gate E. L. Bartlett had hoped to
be present, but will be unable to
leave Washington owing to ines
capable public business.
