Populate Alaska
For Protection,
Eskimo King Says
SEATTLE, (/P) — The army’*- i
wartime “king of the Eskimos” ad
monished that if the United States
wants to make Alaska secure it
should “move the moose over and
let the people move in.”
Maj. Melvin It. Marston, who
organized and led the Territory’s
Eskimo militia during the war,
said in an interview w’hile here
from Alaska that the nation is
running the future risk of losing
the Territory by military conquest
unless “this first line of defense is
occupied and seeled speedily.” He
described it as “the most strategic
ground we hutfe on hemispheric
defense.’’
The reserve officer declared vi
tal military and civilian projects
in Alaska “are bogging down. The
railroad is being rebuilt, highways
and airfields are being built, but
not fast enough. We should make
Alaska the most colossal air base
in all the world and fear nobody.”

Molotov’s Blast
Deadlocks; Ends
Big 4 Conference
(Continued from Page One)
day’s meeting expecting a contin
uation of Molotov’s mild, concili-J
atory tactics of last week.
What Molotov charged had all
been said by various Soviet offi
cials or propaganda agencies be
fore. Molotov charged the western
powers were profitting on German
exports, were buying up German
firms, were piling up economic ob
ligations on Germany and trying
to “perpetuate the division of Ger
many.”
All this, Molotov declared, was
part of a strategic scheme to con
vert the western zones into a basis
for an attack on the “democratic”
—that is the Communist — coun
tries of Europe.
What was new, however, accord
ing to American officials, was to
have Molotov organize all these
charges into a single bombshell
speech and explode it irt the faces
of Marshall, Bevin and Bidault.
Among them the three had already
denied each of the charges. In
bringing up the same points again
Molotov had in effect labelled
their denials as false.
LONDON, (A1) — The Big Four
foreign ministers broke off in fail
ure tonight their week-end effort
to unify Germany and restore
Austrian independence. Secretary
of State Marshall blamed the Sov
iets for the collapse.
The United States, Great Britain
and France, he said, had been able
to agree on major issues but “the
Soviet Union alone refuses to
agree.”
British foreign secretary Ernest
Bevin, presiding, officially declar
ed the conference adjourned after
Marshall had made the motion.
Bevin said the time and place of
the next meeting could be decided
later, American informants said,
thereby indicating he expected an
other conference some day would
be held.
Secretary Marshall made the
proposal to adjourn.
Western observers indicated the
breakup probably signals the be
ginning of a period of more intense
rivalry between Russia and the
western powers, with the United
States, Great Britain and France
expected to move as soon as possi
ble to unify western Germany.
Nun’s Union Card
Gets Broadcast
As Scheduled
OTTAWA,—A broadcast by the
Notre Dame Convent choir went
on as scheduled here when the ac
companist, a nun, met require
ments of the American Federation
of Musicians by producing a mem
bership card in the union.
However, two later broadcasts
by other choirs in a series of three
Education week programs spon
sored by the Ottawa Catholic
schools had to be partly rearrang
ed so that instead of an organ as
accompaniment an old-fashioned
pitch, pipe was used.
Prior to the first broadcast, the
radio station informed arrangers
of the programs that a member of
the union must be present either
to accompany the choirs or as a
standby. The first broadcast was
not affected when it developed
that the accompanist, Sister St.
Francis of Notre Dame Convent,
Kingston, a well-known organist,
was a member in good standing of
Local 802, New York, of the A. F.
of L. Musicians’ federation.
