U.N. Human Rights
Commission Demands
U.N. Supervise Plebiscites
UNITED NAT IONS, N.Y., (JP)—
The 18 - nation Human Rights
Commission overrode U.S., British
and French opposition Wednes
day and adopted a demand that
the U.N. supervise all plebiscites
in territories that do not govern
themselves.
The demand was listed as a
recommendation to the General
Assembly on how to get U.N.
members to cooperate in making
effective a new proposed clause
on self-determination of peoples.
The clause, adopted last week, is
to go into covenants on human
rights that the commission is pre
paring.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, U.S.
delegate, said afterwards she
voted against an Indian resolution
incorporating the demand “be
cause it would mean that if we
had any kind of a vote in Alaska
or Hawaii, for instance the entire
cumbersome U. N. machinery
would have to be brought into
play to supervise the election.”

One Man Killed And Two
Suicide, Aftermath Fight
In Yukon Village Kokrines
FAIRBANKS, (£>) — Three men
are dead as a result of a dispute
between two trappers in the tiny
Yukon River vilage of Ko'krines,
200 miles west of here, U.S. Mar
shal Frank Chapados said Friday.
Chapados said investigation by
Deputy Marshal Francis X. Wirth
disclosed one man was accidental
ly shot and killed and the other
two men took their own lives
after his death.
Native trapper Robert Bob re
ceived a bad beating at the hands
of trapper Nelson McQueston, the
marshal said.
The following day, he added,
Bob took a rifle and started a
search for McQueston to “get even
with him.”
Just as Bob and McQueston
were about a clash a bystander
stepped between them and at
tempted to break up the argu
ment, Wirth reported. The by
stander, identified as Fred Olin,
was accidentally killed by a bul
let from Bob’s rifle.
Wirth said Bob, apparently in
remorse, killed himself a short
time later by slashing his throat.
When word of the two deaths
reached Tanana, a few miles
away, Wirth set out for Kokrines
to investigate. The deputy mar
shal said when McQueston heard
of the officer’s arrival in the
village he shot himself in the lung
with a rifle.
Chapados said the nature of the
original quarrel and motives for
the two suicides have not been
determined.

WASHINGTON, (/P)j-The Re

was sentenced to death in the
Senate Wednesday and then
promptly reprieved.
A bill to abolish the big gov
ernment lending agency, offered
by Sen. Byrd (D-Va) but sup
ported mostly by Republicans,
was accepted on the first go
round 42 to 37, to the astonish
ment of the Democratic leader
ship.
Allowed another chance under
parliamentary rules, the adminis

votes and finally were able to
switch enough senators to send
the measure back to the Banking
Committee, 39 to 69.

SCHOOL NEWS
By OLAF HALVERSON
Acquiring an education can be
compared to the growth of a
plant. A plant sends out roots into
the soil to get certain elements
necessary for growth. The deeper
the roots are, the more securely
the plant is anchored and more
abundance of nutritious sources.
The elements work their way up
ward to the leaves where in the
presence of sunlight and chloro
phyll, a wonderful chemical
change takes place. Soon the plant
matures and produces a beautiful
flower.
Likewise, we send our roots
into the soil of knowledge and
extract therefrom the elements of
English, mathematics, history,
science and many other subjects.
Soon we have acquired sufficient
knowledge which bursts forth into
rosy bloom on graduation day.

times as many can be seen as

the evening we are on the trail

to its revolution and are protected
except for meteors that overtake
us. In the morning we are on the
leading side, fully exposed to the
heavenly bombardment.
