Russians Build
Houses Near St.
Lawrence Island
ANCHORAGE, Alaska <JP>—Re
ports that Russia is building “rock
houses” in the cliffs lining the
shores of Siberia opposite St. Law
rence Island have been received
from Siberian natives visiting the
American island, the Rev. E. R.
Parker, Presbyterian missionary
on.the island, said yesterday.
The missionary, now en route to
the United States, told the An
chorage Times the information
came to him from island Eskimos
after a party of 20 Siberian na
tives visited St. Lawrence this
summer.
“The visitors didn’t know much
about the activity at Indian Point
on .Chukotski peninsula (approxi
mately 50 miles across the Bering
Sea from St. Lawrence Island) but
said the Russians are using large
quantities of dynamite to blast out
houses in the rock cliffs,” Rev.
Parker reported.
“They said they are not allowed
to go near the project which is a
few miles across the bay from
where they live. Their only con
tact is limited to work of unload
ing large amounts of cement, steel
and wooden boxes from arriving
steamers.
“The Siberians reported that the
Soviets are using conscript labor
on the building projects—period
ically calling on the villages to ex-!
amine the Eskimos and pick out
men they want to work. They are
sent to the interior and are gone
about two years.
“Many never return, they say.|
Those that do bring some money,!
asserting they were paid for their
labor,” he related. ,
The missionary said the visitors
arrived in two open boats equip
ped with outboard motors and
flying red flags. He said they car
ried passports issued by Soviet
authorities.
The Siberians were “very curi
ous” about the bluff that lies be
hind Gambell on SL Lawrence Is
land, Rev. Parker said, asking
questions as to what was on top
of the bluff or behind it.
“They didn’t travel over the is
land but asked many questions

tions and travel cohditions,” he
said.
The visiting Eskimos were avid
readers of United States’ newspa
pers during their stay, Parker
said. However, when they noticed
farewell gifts of fish, ivory and
furs wrapped in newspapers they
unwrapped each on saying they
would “not be allowed to take
American newspapers or maga
zines to their village.”

If Farmers Stop
Raising Steaks
Europe Could Eat
WASHINGTON, (>P) — If con
sumers stopped buying and farm
ers stopped producing choice, juicy
beef steaks and roasts during the
next eight months, the food con
servation battle for aiding the
hungry world abroad would be
halt won.
Agriculture department live
stock specialists estimate that nor
mally 60,000,000 bushels of corn
or other grain equivalent are used
in the corn belt annually to fatten
beef cattle beyond the average of
good slaughter grade.
The goal of the food conserva
tion program is to reduce domestic
consumption of grain at least 100,
000,000 bushels so that exports
may come as near as possible
meeting essential needs of short
age areas in Europe.
Secretary of agriculture Ander
son told newsmen Wednesday
farmers could help save grain by
selling hogs at much lighter
weights and by abandoning, for
the time being, the practice of fat
tening beef cattle to the top trade.
Cattle fall into four major
grades—choice, good, commercial
and utility.
The bulk of the grain used to
produce choice, or top grade, cat
tle goes toward putting quality on
the meat rather than in adding
pounds.
Gillnetter Burns In
Puget Sound
SEATTLE, (A*) — The 32-foot
gillnetter Swan burned to the wa
terline and sank early today one
mile northwest of Meadow Point
in Puget Sound.
The coast guard said the lone
crewman aboard the vessel, Ben
Flaaten of Seattle, was removed
by the harbor patrol and taken to
Marine hospital with burns about
the arms and legs.
Flaaten said the fire started
when a lantern overturned in the
cabin.
Winds, reaching peak gusts of
45 miles an hour, whipped up the
waves and hampered fire fighting
efforts.
