A PROCLAMATION
UNITED NATIONS DAY—OCTOBER 24, 1951
WHEREAS, October 24th, 1951 is the sixth anniversary of the
United Nations and has been designated United Nations Day; and
WHEREAS, appropriate observance of United Nations Day is
an affirmation of our faith in the objectives of the United Nations,
our appreciation of its accomplishments and our resolve to give
active support to its principles; and
WHEREAS, we in Alaska, occupying a position of the greatest
strategic importance as the only part of the United States fronting
on the Arctic Ocean and within a naked eye view of the continent
of Asia, appreciate fully the need for and the importance of an
international organization dedicated to the preservation of the peace
and the settlement of international differences by negotiation; and
WHEREAS, in recent months epoch-making events have trans
pired under the aegis of the United Nations in which that body,
working closely with the United States and other free nations, has
fought and repelled unprovoked aggression in Korea, thus demon
strating to all mankind the value of armed might when sanctioned
by moral right, and thereby affording a new hope of peace on earth
through international organization; and
WHEREAS, last month the United Nations demonstrated to the
world its strength and unity of purpose in adopting a Japanese Peace
Treaty drawn in enlightened terms which should promote peace
rather than provoke war; and
WHEREAS, October 24, 1951, marks the completion of the sixth
year in which the United Nations has been a living force for solving
the major problems involved in transforming a shattered world
into a better habitation for the human race; and
WHEREAS, the United Nations has proved itself the only meet
ing place in which great and small countries still can freely voice
the aspirations of their peoples, submit their policies and actions*
to the judgment of world opinion, and seek its support for their causes;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH W. KEHOE, Acting Governor
of Alaska, do hereby proclaim October 24, 1951, United Nations Day
and call upon all persons, agencies, and organizations to observe
said day with the high purpose appropriate thereto.

Challenges Prediction Of
World s Ability To Feed
Twice Its Population
NEW YORK, {JP)~The recent
scientific prediction that we now
have the know-how to feed four
billion persons, twice the world’s
present population, was challeng
ed as double-talk today.
This was at a meeting on world
•population and birth control held
by the New York Academy of
Sciences.
The four billion prediction was
made at last month’s internation
al chemistry meetings here, by
Arture Virtanen, Finnish Nobel
Prize winner.
The challenge today was by Dr.
Robert Cook, of Washington, sec
retary of the American Genetics
Association. He named a number
of other scientists and economists
as making similar predictions,
and said:
“The actual, gruesome fact that
the frantic scrimpings of hungry
multitudes merely to exist are de
stroying the productivity of large
areas is egregiously ignored by
these happy prophets of the mil
lenium.”
Government “Grub Stake” For
Prospectors Held As Hope For
Discovery Scarce Strategic Metals
HAILEY, Idaho, (/P)—A “grub
stake” for the prospector — for
gotten man in the government
financed search for scarce metals
— appeared ns the most likely
suggestion to come out of a con
gressional committee hearing on
the program.
“If the government really
wants these minerals, it’s got to
grub-stake %he prospectors,” Roy
Hawley, Arco, Idaho, miner, told
a House Interior and Insular Af
fairs Strategic Metals subcommit
tee.
“It’s got to say ‘here’s a grub
stake; we’ll split 50-50 on what
ever you find’.”
Rep. Wesley D’Ewart (R-Mont),
who is conducting the hearing,
said there was no question of the
nation’s needing the minerals.
“We’re having to redesign some
of the machines of war because
certain minerals are so scarce,”
he said.
D’Ewart said he thought Presi
dnet Truman could set up a grub
stake program under present laws
by a directive.
As the program stands, the
government makes production
loans only to operators who can
pay part of the cost.
“There’s no place in it for the
prospectors without any money,”
said Ernest Ellis, former Univer
/ /
sity of Idaho mine professor who
is a mining engineer for the De
fense Minerals Administration.
“All he can do is get out of min
ing and go to work.”
Fred Shirton, Hailey miner,
claimed that only the large op
erators “with enough money to
send an engineex' back to Wash
ington to lobby” were getting the
government production loans. His
application for one was rejected.
“The government is giving no
consideration to the two-man op
eration,” he declared.
Ellis replied that loans as small
as $500 have been made and that
the 151 loans made thrcrugh Sept.
20 averaged about $40,000.
