Refuses Fortune
For His Story
FALMOUTH, England, (/P) —
After turning down offers of
wealth and Hollywood glamor in
favor of the sea which took his ;
ship, Capt. Kurt Carlsen wound
up his business with authorities
here today and is free to return
home.
The shy little 37-year-old skip
per, whose gallant stand against
the winds and waves of the At
lantic brought him a hero’s hon- j
ors when he stepped ashore here
Friday, said nobody was going to
buy him away from the sea.
He conferred for an hour and
a half with a shipping agent and
lawyers about the legal aspets of
the sinking of his freighter Fly
ing Enterprise, on whose doomed
decks he had acted out his drama
of the sea.
The skipper has said he just
isn’t interested in offers totaling
between 30,000 and 40,000 pounds
($84,000 to $112,000) for the film
and story rights to the story of
his struggle for his ship.
Gen. Stratemeyer Retires
WASHINGTON, (JP) — Lt. Gen.
George E. Stratemeyer, 61, will
retire Jan. 31 after 36 years ser
vice, the Air Force announced
Friday.
He was stricken with a heart
attack last May in Tokyo, where
he commanded the Far East Air
Force. He now is attached to the
Orlando, Fla., air base hospital
for treatment.
He was U.S. air commander in
the India-Burma theater in World
War II and was the first chief
of the U.S. continental air com
mand.
Russia Proposes Another
Atomic Control Plan
PARIS, (/P)—Russia’s Andrei Y.
Vishinsky proposed Saturday the
simultaeous prohibition of atomic
weapons and international control
of atomic energy. This was an at
tempt to meet western refusals to
accept ban on the bombs with
out controls.
He repeated his previous de
mands for a world arms confer
ence but suggested the date be
July 15, 1952 instead of June 1,
1952.
Earlier the United Nations
adopted, over bitter Russian op
position, a plan designed to meet
the threat of aggression any
where in the world through col
lective action.
The plan would permit the
United Nations to call on region
al security forces, such as the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza
tion, to meet aggression any
where.
Army and Marines
Cut Draft Quotas
WASHINGTON, {JP) — The
army and the marines are calling
52,500 draftees in February and
28,600 in March—a 2,500 quota
cut for February and a below
average figure for March.
The Defense Department said
the February reduction was pos
sible because of increased volun
teering and a change in Marine
Corps recruiting. The Navy relies
soley on recruiting.
Fred C. Jones, formerly of
Nome and Council, is looking for
some good “Solo” pla3rers. Now
retired but still enjoying a “cork
nig good game,” he would wel
come oldtime friends at his home
at 2150 Dexter Ave., Seattle 9, to
talk over “old times” *and while
away some happy hours.

Covenant Missionary
Council Holds Business
Sessions January 10-14
The Alaska Covenant Mission
ary Council met for its annual
business session in Nome, Janu
ary 10 through 14. Business per
taining to the Evangelical Mis
sionary work in the various vil
lages of western Alaska was dis
cussed, and plans for expansion
of work were made for the com
ing year.
Constructive plans were drawn
up for teaching the unevangelized
people with the gospel and great
er coverage of the Mission field
has been made possible by added
land and sea plane equipment.
The personnel was augmented
by the addition of a couple at
Scammon Bay a year ago, carry
ing on not only Mission work but
Christian day school. This year
another couple, one a registered
nurse, is going into this area.
A carpenter was also called to
take charge of the construction
and building maintenance on the
entire field. Plans are also being
made for another couple in the
children’s home at Unalakleet.
Missionaries attending this con
ference were Rev. L. E. Ost, dean
of Bible Institute, Fortuna Ledge;
Rev. Roald Amundsen, pilot at
Unalakleet; Rev. Emory L i n d
gren, supt. of Children’s Home;
Miss Mildred Olson, assistant
supt. and boys’ counselor in the
Home; Rev. Walter Anderson,
circuit missionary, White Moun
tain area; Mr. SpenCer Strand,
architect and builder.
The sessions were held at the
home of Rev. Paul B. F. Carlson,
chairman of the Council of Mis
sionaries.
Wage Stabilization Board
Chairman To Visit Alaska
To Establish “Cost” Index
SEATTLE, (>P) — Leo Kotin,
chairman of the Regional Wage
Stabilization Board, left Saturday
on the Baranof for Juneau, to con
fer with Alaska officials on wage
problems.
“One of the knottiest problems
the Regional Wage Board has
faced is the lack o*f adequate in
formation upon which to base de
cisions affecting wages of Alaska
workers,’ Kotin said.
The board has asked the Bu
reau of Labor Statistics to es
tablish a cost-of-living index for
the territory. It would take con
siderable time to collect data for
the index.
A conference with Gov. Ernest
Gruening is on Kotin’s schedule.
