Go To Alaska, It’s
Not So Rough;
Explorer Advises
»Minneapolis Star-Journal>
If Peter Freuchen were about 40
: years younger and an American,
' he’d head for Alaska to make his
’ home and fortune.
As it is, the 61-year-old Danish
born explorer and author plans to
' take things “easy” from now on—
! by going back this summer to
Greenland, where he has span,
much of the last four decade.-.
For the bearded adventurer ii
will be his first return to u le”
soil since shortly before V-E day
when he interrupted his anti-Naz
underground activity to v.si
Washington at behest of the Dan
ish legation.
Capt. Freuchen spoke at a Uni
versity of Minnesota convocation
today on his life in the Arct:c and
future prospects for the area.
Stretching his lean, 6-foot, 5
inch frame in h»s Curtis hotel
room as he prepared for the talk.
Freuchen recalled how teams of
five to 10 men were usually the
largest patrols to go into the far
north when he first took up the
life following his graduation from
University of Copenhagen 40 years
ago.
“Now, the Arctic has been con
verted into a new frontier,” he
commented, “and the United States
and Canadian armies, and I pre
sume the Soviet army, too, have
thousands of men up there testing
the weather and living conditions.”
People are not frightened by the
Arctic as they once were, he
added.
“It really is not as cold as Min
nesota sometimes gets,” the ex
plorer explained. “Winter lasts
longer, that’s all.”
That’s why Freuchen can’t un
ierstand why more young Amer
'can^ don’t strike out for Alaska.;
“I’d choose that for my state if
I were an American.” he observ
°d. “There you will find rich farm
ing, lumber, minerals, fish, fur
and gold. Unlike Greenland, which
;s PR oer cent ice-covered, Alaska
has limitless possibilities.”
Portal Bill
Before Senate
WASHINGTON, </P)—The Sen
ate's b 11 to wipe out nearly s;x bil
lion dollars in suits for portal-to-*
portal pay was returned to com
mittee today for some finishing
touches.
Chairman Wiley <R.-Wis.> ol'
the judiciary committee obtained
unanimous consent to recall the
old. He told reporters the action
was requested by Senator Donneil
K.-Mo.), who headed the subcom
mittee which drafted the bill. The
nature of the proposed enanges
was not disclosed.
Wiley said reconsideration of the
b-11 is not expected to delay action
a l that the measure may come
up on the Senate floor Friday.
The House passed its version of
.>c.tal pay legislation last week.
Tne bills are designed to elimin
ate or curtail suits filed by labor
unions for activities beyond actual
productive work.
THE JAINS. A RELIGIOUS
•
sect of India, believe that the soul
has colors, three good and three
bad, indicating its character, ac
cording to the Encyclopaedia Bri
tannica.
Freuchen was in Denmark when
the Nazis marched in.
Twice he was interned for his
anti-Fascist writings, and twice he
escaped. The second time he head
ed for Stockholm to continue his
underground leadership from Swe
den.
“Denmark is a small country,
and it is easy to find a man with
a wooden leg,” he smiled.
The leg to which he referred is
a memento of the far north, the
result of a freezing episode in
which he cut off his own gangren
ous toes.
According to Freuchen, there is
little likelihood that Denmark will
sell Greenland to the United
States.
“It is our only colony—and fur
ther,” he asserted, “the people
there dont’ want to be sold like
cattle.”
