Gov'ment Trends
Hit By Author
In Book On Alaska
Lee S. Gardner has written a
critique of American governmen
tal trends, with Alaska as his
main case in point.
In his new book, “The Optimist:
American Plan” (Exposition
Press, New York - $2.50), Mr.
Gardner calls ©n his observations
in Alaska, where the acuteness
of bureaucratic control sharpened
his observation in the study of
American apathy concerning our
prerogatives of self-government.
The most individually repre
sentative and efficient system of
government is the ideal one, he
believes. Using as an analogy
the model cellular structure of
healthy organisms, Mr. Gardner
warns us against our present-day
governmental tendencies.
The author points to Alaska,
one of America’s most strategic
areas, and shows the lack of self
government and the resulting
weakness in its civilian defense
capacity.
Mr. Gardner also points in some
detail to the administrative weak
nesses of the Civil Aeronautics
Administration, the Alaska Game
Commission, and the Forestry
Service, and suggests they are
ready for change which would
add to the welfare of Alaska and
the nation.
Throughout his book, the au
thor reaffirms his belief in the
basic concepts of the Constitution,
but strongly suggests the need for
refinements and improvements.

10 U.S. Planes Lost In
7 Days of Korea Air Fights
By SAM SUMMERLIN
SEOUL, Korea, (/P)— Commu
nist jets and groundfire blasted
10 Allied warplanes out of North
Korean skies in the past seven

Snow flurries fell along the

heavy clouds hampered Allied air
strikes.
The weekly Fifth Air Force
summary said two Sabre jets
were lost between Jan. 12 and 18
in aerial battles with the MIGs.
Eight other planes were shot
down by Red ground fire. Com
munist losses for the same period
were three destroyed and seven
damaged in air battles.
Temperatures fell to as low as
three below zero Saturday.
