senkina said “No” when Chepurn
ykh advanced his suggestion.
The detective said that after
the vice-consul and a secretary
arrived at the hospital and asked
fof permission to arrange for a
visit from the consul general, he
and inspector Michael E. J. Led
den went upstairs to the teach
er’s room.
They told Mrs. Kosenkina there
were two persons from the Soviet
consulate who wanted to speak
to her, Dyczko said.
“We told her ‘We are going to
bring them in and see if* you can
identify them’.”
A few minutes later they es
corted Chepurnykh and the secre
tary into the room.
“The injured woman’s eyes
were open,” Dy-czko said. The
vice-consul earlier had said her
eyes were closed.
“Do you know this man?” the
detective said he asked Mrs. Ko
senkina in Russian.
“Yes,” he quoted her as ans
wering.
“Who is he?” the detectiev said

Bering seas this summer for the
first time since before the war.
Milton C. James, acting direc
tor of the fish and wildlife serv
ice, said today an exploratory
fishing vessel will sail from Seat
j tie Aug. 20.
The 100-foot motor vessel
Washington, taken over from the
maritime commission, will carry
j a crew of 12, including two fish
ery engineers and a biologist.
James said the vessel will ex
plore the Bering sea south of
Nome but will remain on the
American side of the internation
al date line, which separates
Alaskan and Siberian waters.
The research is particularly de

fused a city government order,
setting the stage for dual depart
ments. The police and food ad
i ministrations also are split.
The financial deadlock persist
ed. The Russians on one hand
j froze accounts of western Berlin
' firms in Soviet zone banks. The
wes‘ern powers froze accounts of
Russian-sponsored marks in
their sector.
Soviet-controlled German police
supported by Missian military po
' lice, crossed into the American
I •
and British sectors of Berlin to ar-1
rest Germans. They withdrew
when western sector police ap
peared.
Germans in the beleaguered
city appealed to the western pow
ers not to surrender the city to
the Russians. The chairman of
S the conservative Christian Demo
cratic union, Jacob Kaiser, told a
rally of 5,000 Berliners:
“Russia ruined its chances for
winning understanding with all
right Germans by its acts here in
the conquest of Berlin and after
wards.” He called Berlin “an is
land in a Red sea—but an island
J which will not surrender.”
The United Nations truce in
1 Palestine appeared to be growing
shaky. Two explosions blew up a
pumping station at Latrun on
which the Jerusalem water supply
depended. U. N. observers took
the station over Wednesday. Lat
run has been an Arba-held point
| blocking free Jewish access to
Jerusalem from Tel Aviv,
j Count Folke Bernadotte, the U.
N. mediator, ordered Jews and
Arabs to stop shooting in Jeru
salem. He said the Arabs accept
ed, but the Jews sent no immedi
i ate reply. Speaking of the heavy
, battle in Jerusalem early Wed
nesday, Bernadotte said:
I “It is my opinion that the initi
ative for the shooting came from
the Jewish side. The Jews, how
ever, told me it was started by the
I Arabs.”
| He said Jerusalem is tense. The
Arab league protested Jewish op
eration of the oil refinery at Hai
fa. The Moslem Brotherhood urg
ed Arab countries to abrogate
treaties with ‘imperialistic states’
meaning Britain.
i The Greek army prepared for
an assault on the last supply line
from Albania to the Greek com
munist rebels in the Grammos
mountains. King Paul adjourned
parliament to prevent the airing
of embarrassing questions about
army supply.
State department officials said
they had evidence of deliberate
Soviet jamming of voice of Amer
ica broadcasts to Russia.
American planes will start
hauling coal into Berlin Aug. 20
from a British zone airfield. The
Russians asserted that the U. S.
military government interrupted
three telephone lines between
Berlin and tfie Russian zone, a
charge quickly denied.

GCA “Saves”
Two Planes
FORT RICHARDSON, 2 Aug.

week, Ground Controlled Ap

the 59th Airways and Air Com

<AACS> at air bases in Alaska
again paid their board when units
at Davis AFB and Marks AFB
“saved” a C-54 and C-82 respec
tively. <A GCA save is defined as
an approach made under such
conditions that GCA was the pri
mary means of a safe landing*.
The more spectacular of the
two saves was effected by the
GCA crew of Detachment 157-1
AACS Squadron when Lt. Paul
R. Hardin of the 37th Troop Car
rier Squadron, piloting a C-82
“Packet” aircraft with a crew of
five aboard requested GCA as
sistance. Due to failure of the air
craft’s radio equipment, the C-82
could not use the radio range and
was unable to receive steers from
the Direction Finding <DF) facili
ties operated by the AACS at
Marks AFB. GCA’s radar located
the plane thirty <30* mile^ out
and from that point directed it to
a safe landing. At the time GCA
came to the pilot’s aid he had in
sufficient fuel aboard to reach an
alternate airport and low ceilings

ed landing almost impossible.
The save at Davis AFB, Adak,
Alaska occurred when a C-54
with 19 high ranking Air Force,
Army, Navy and Marine Corps
Officers aboard called for GCA
assistance. The plane was enroute
from Kodiak to Adak Island
when extreme vibration in one
|
engine and a runaway propellor
caused the pilot to feather one
propellor. The GCA crew of the
j 130th A ACS Squadron located the
j crippled craft and directed it to
a safe landing at Davis. Ceiling
at the time of the landing was 700
feet—low for Davis AFB which
is surrounded by mountains.
