Wien Airlines Go All
Out To Bring Guardsmen
To NCO Training School
Wien Airlines went to unusual
lengths to bring Roger Atoruk to
the National Guard NCO school
being held at Nome Field. When
pilot Jim Freericks arrived in
Kiana to pick up Guardsman At
oruk and Carl Giffe, he found
that Atoruk was out on the trail
between Kiana and Selawik. He
also found that Atoruk was anx
ious to attend the school. So he
took Atoruk’s brother in the
plane, found Atoruk and landed
by the trail. Then Atoruk got in
the plane and came to Nome,
while his brother took over the
dogs.
Freericks said everyone was
happy except Atoruk, who* could
n’t get back to Kiana to change
his trousers.
National Guard officials here
said that they sincerely appreci
ate this kind of help from the air
lines.

STILL CONFISCATED
PASADENA, Calif., (/P) — A
swap-shop owner recently dis
played an interesting antique
which had hard use during Cali
fornia’s gold rush days.
The antique was a whisky still

at the shop—for a while.
Then it was confiscated by Clair
E. Kirk of the Board of Equaliza
tion liquor control division, who
refnarked: “A still’s still a still.”

Allies Will Not Trade
Ban on Airfield Repair
For “Strictly Phony” Issue
By ROBERT B. TUCKMAN
MUNSAN, Korea, (JP)—A U.N.
negotiator said Wednesday the
Allies “absolutely would not”
trade a ban on repairing military
airfields for the “strictly phony
issue” of Russia as a Korean truce
supervisor.
Maj. Gen. Wm. K. Harrison
made the statement after a Chi
nese negotiator hinted for the sec
ond successive day the Commun
I ists would like to make such a
swap.
“They are trying to offer us
something that should not be an
issue at all for something really
vital to an armistice,” Harrison
told newsmen.
In Tokyo, British Gen. Sir
Charles F. Keightley commented
the “Chinese are playing a game
at Panmunjom. They know, ev
eryone knows, the U.N. is anxious
for peace. When that peace will
come probably will be decided by
the men in Peiping.”
Nevertheless Keightley said he
was “optimistic that within six
months an uneasy peace will be
worked out in Korea.” Keightley,
commander of British Far East
i
land forces, made the statement
as his “personal opinion.”

House Is Told Army Is
: Wasteful So Maintenance
i Budget Is Slashed
WASHINGTON, (JP) — The
House Wednesday cut the Army’s
new maintenance and operation
budget $435,600,000 despite pro
tests that it would “cripple the
army.”
A majority listened instead to
the argument that the Army was
wasting money.
The vote came on an amend
ment by Rep. Johnson (R-Calif)
to cut an additional $135,600,000
from the maintenance and oper
ations fund. The House Appro
priations Committee previously
had slashed $300 million from the
$4,820,000,000 President Truman
had requested.
In approving the Johnson
amendment, the House also up
held the committee recommenda
tion.
Johnson told the House the
Army was guilty of waste and ex
travagance in its maintenance
and operations programs and
could stand the cut proposed.
Mr .and Mrs. Herk Edwards are
being welcomed back by their
many friends. They arrived yes
terday with Alaska Airlines.

Easter Sunrise Service
To Be 6:30 a.m. Sunday
The Annual Sunrise Service
has been planned by the Nome
Ministerial Ass’n to be held as
in past years at the School Gym
nasium.
Announced as a 6:30 a.m. ser- |
vice, if not a sunrise service, it
will be a Community Early Morn
ing Easter Service for sure, and
an opportunity to worship with
people of many faiths on the
traditional “very • early in the
morning” Resurrection theme.
Rev. Lewis Hudgins has planned
the service and will read the
Scripture. Rev. Alvin Capner,
president of the Ministerial Asso
ciation, will lead the three Easter
hymns. Rev. Paul Carlson will
lead the prayer, and Rev. George
Loveless will be the speaker.
A men’s chorus will sing, and
an Easter reading will be given by
Mrs. Robert Baldwin. Two nurses
from the hospital will sing a duet.
Rev. Robert Treat will give the
benediction.
House Cites “Dutchman”
Grunewald For Contempt
WASHINGTON,. (/P) — The
House cited Henry W. (The Dutch
man) Grunewald for contempt of
Congress Wednesday for “willful
and deliberate refusal” to' talk
about his mysterious connection
with big-money tax cases figuring
in tax scandal investigations.
By a rollcall vote of 332 to 0,
the House whipped through the
contempt citation with a mini
mum of discussion and without a
voice being raised in his behalf.
Grunewald was at home under
a doctor’s care—too sick, his law
yer said, to appear before House
investigators who voted to cite
him for contempt last Jan. 30
after five attempts, on four sep
arate occasions, to break his si
lence.
