his resignation that brought out
the reference to Beelzebub and
the roars of laughter that accom
panied it.
"I came to the realization,”
Johnson explained, "there was no
possibility of serving two masters.
I had to serve constantly Joe Sta
lin as against Uncle Sam. I could
no more do that than serve God
and Beezle-bub.”
Defense attorney Vincent Hal
linan immediately asked, with a
straight face:
"Well, Mr. Beezle-bub is not
identified as a member of the
communist party. Is he one of this
gentleman’s associates? I think
Mr. Beezle-bub should be identi
fied.”
“Maybe,” suggested smiling fed-1
oral judge George B. Hams, “he
is the unidentified witness.”
Chief prosecutor F. Joseph Don
ohue, explained amid more laugh
ter that “Mr. Beelzebub is the evil
one.”
Johnson s testimony yesterday
opened the prosecution’s second
phase of its attempt to convict
Bridges of perjury in connection
with his naturalization in 1945.
The longshore leader is charged
with perjury in testifying at a nat
uralization hearing that he was
not and had not been a member of
the communist party. Two union
officials—J. R. Robertson and
Henry Schmidt — are co-defend
ants, charged with conspiracy.
Earlier government witnesses
testified that Bridges, a 48-year
old native of Australia, had been
recruited into the communist par
ty in the early 1939’s.

Apple Crisp is an old favorite
dessert that's in season now. Use

browns delicately for a rich cara
mel flavor.
Chill Apple Crisp and top it with
a scoop of vanilla ice cream or
aerve hot from the oven with
whipped cream. Either way, it’s
good eating the year around.

Alaska Has Pile
66World’s Worst
Mosquitoes’*
(By Frank Carey)
((Ah Science Reporter)
TAMPA, Fla., (^P)—Any nation
planning to attack the United
States by way of the Arctic Cir- j
cle should be prepared to cope ,
with “the world’s worst mosqui-1
toes.”
Maj. Robert Traub, an army
scientist who described these in
sects, did not say anything about
enemy attacks.
But he made it explicit that
anyone fooling around in the Arc
tic should be ready to fight the
hungriest, most numerous and
most persistent swarm of crea
tures in the whole nasty family
of mosquitoes.
Traub knows whereof he speaks,
because he spent a lot of time in
the Malayan tropics where mos
quitoes are by no means minor
leaguers.
“Up in the Arctic,” he said a re
porter after he had addressed a |
meeting of entomologists here,
“we have the world’s worst mos
quitoes from the point of view of j
biting and numbers.
“There is little other food for j
them up there, so they seek out i
humans. You can hold out your
hand for a couple of minutes and
you’ll have as many as 200 of
them trying to bite you.
“There are unlimited breeding
areas for them in the swamps and
bogs, and apparently the Arctic

does not have enough natural in
sect enemies of the mosquito to
keep it under control.”
He said research by a civilian in
the army’s chemical corps, em
ploying radioactive materials to
put “markers” on mosquitoes, had
shown that the Alaska dive bomb
ers have a flight range of at least
five miles.
“This indicates,” said Traub,
that while you wipe them out of a
given area, others will swarm in
from outside.”
He also said that Alaska sports
“a lot of Siberian fleas”—ostensi
bly imported, he said, by flea in
fested rodents following the route
across the Bering Straits from Si
beria to Alaska that was later
taken by aboriginals.

Peninsula Road
j4Slerling High wav"
WASHINGTON. bP>—The new
130-mile road down the western
. ide of Alaska's Kenai Penninsula
has1 been named sterling highway
in memory of Hawley W. Sterl
ing, pioneer road builder.
The highway extends from the
western boundary of the Chugach
national forest through the towns J
'of Kenai, Kasilof, Ninilchik and
Homer. Already open to limited
traffic, it is to be completed next j
summer:
Sterling, who died at Seattle in
1948, was assistant chief engineer ,
of the Alaska road commission for j
16 years.
He supervised construction of ,
the Steese highway from Fair- I
I banks north east ward to the Yu
| kon river at circle, and the Glenn
highway connecting Anchorage
with the Alaska highway and the
United States.
Sterling also laid out and start
ed construction of the highway
named after him, which opens for
agriculture development some of
the best land in Alaska.
Announcing the new road’s
name today, secretary of the in
veloped many special techniques
tcrior Chapman said Sterling de
of road construction to meet the
unusual conditions found in Alas
ka.
These included new methods of
construction on permanently fro
zen ground and through swampy
areas, and cheap methods of
building bridges in remote areas.
There are about 200 species of
barnacle.
