Count Folke Bernadotte, written
shortly before he was assassinated
in Jerusalem Friday.
Count Bernadotte, the mediator,
advised that the United Nations
should be prepared to step in and
end the Palestine war if the Arabs
and Jews fail to make peace.
“Israel exists in the Holy Land,”
ho wrote and the 1'u‘ure of Arab
Palestine should be left to the Arab
states, “in full consultation with
Arab inhabitants” of the Holy
Land.
Bernadotte’s body arrived at
Geneva by plane today. It will be
flown to Paris tomorrow and sim
ple services will be held before the
body continues to Stockholm.
In Paris, secretary-general Try
gve Lie announced he would de
mand a United Nations police force
to forestall such acts as the assas
sination of Bernadotte and to
maintain order in disturbed parts
of the world.
Lie will call for a United Na
tions constabulary of from 1,000 to
5,000 men*when he presents his re
port in a few days to the United
Nations assembly.
As top diplomats moved to the
French capital, negotiations in Eu
rope’s capi’als arranged to come in
for consultations on what’s next.
There was every indication that
the four-power talks on the tick
lish situation in blockaded, divided
Berlin have bogged down.
U. S. Secretary of State Mar
shall, determined-“we will do our
best,” British foreign secretary
Ernest Bevin and France’s for
eign minister, Robert Schuman
were on hand.

command, known widely as “Abu
Mimri.”
(MOSCOW)—An official state
ment from Moscow, issued as U. N.
Delegates assembled, said Russia
will pull her troops out of north
ern Korea by the new year.
Apparently the Russian an
nouncement was unconditional, al
though the Russians called on the
United States to move American
troops out of southern Korea.
(BATAVIA) — The Indonesian
news agency Antara, reported
mass arrests were made yesterday
as an aftermath of communist
i seizure of Madioen, in central
! Java. President Soekarno has act
ed quickly to prevent a commun

lic. The main streets of the capi
tal, Jogpakarta, are under strong
police guard.
(BERLIN) — Communist patrols
raided news-stands in the Russian

they ripped anti-communist news
papers from the stands and scat
tered them in the streets. American
officials said the raids were in vio
lation of four-power agreements.
(NEW DELHI) — The Indian

Route From St.
Louis To Nome
Televised
Following the birds and the sea
sons on a televised tour is soon to
be possible when the work of Har
old Siebens, his daughter Gloria,
21, and his mother Nellie Sieben'
is completed.
The trio is taking the trip from
St. Louis, Missouri to Nome an 1
then to Mexico City and return to
St. Louis.
The purpose of the trip is to take
moving pictures of the entire route
with the activities available to
tourists and sportsmen, scenic,
camping, iishing and hunting
along highways and rivers en
route.
They are planning a few side
trips around Nome; one of them
to be up the railroad to Pilgrim
River with Binks Seiffert.
Miss Siebens is a professional
photographer and “shoots” all the
pictures while Siebens does the
fishing and mother Siebens lends
a family atmosphere.
The finished pictures will be
televised over the television sta
tion WPIX and will probably be
syndicated for release to other
television stations, said Mr. Sie
bens.

Mr. Wilfred A. Boucher, Editor,
Nome Nugget
Nome, Alaska.
Dear Mr. Boucher:
Reference is made to article in
the Nome Nugget of August 13, en
titled “Cement Plant Proposed For
Windy, Alaska.”
According to this article, Mr.
Reed Salisbury, RFC consultant, is
reported to have said that the
price of cement at the railhead
now is about four times the retail
price at Seattle.
The facts are not in agreement
with this statement. A sack of ce
ment in Seattle retails for $1.10,
wharfage and handling charges
$0,045; freight, Seattle to Anchor
are $1.29. Total $2,535.
The actual price laid down at
Anchorage, including other ele
ments of cost, is $2.75 per sack—
some difference from the $4.40 Mr.
Salisbury indicates to be the price.
Respectfully,
F. A. Zeusler
