Interpreting News
L by J. M. Roberto
A. P. News Analyst
Despite the general deterior
ation of the “Geneva Spirit.”
the powers are makinig gestures
designed to keep it alive just
a little longer.
Secretary Dulles announced
the other day tha. communists
could now Ibe urusted to protect
the (personal safey of American
visitors, and Yhatt passports
would no longer be marked “in
valid” for the communist sph
ere in Europe. Russia had pre
viously relaxed her tra/vel re
gulations. slightly, but visas
still are not freely forthcoming,
by any means.
The Russians have been talk
ing for a long time about (bet
ter trade relations with the
West, so the United States an
nounced it was easing things up
Close scrutiny reveals, however
that it is a speeding up of bus
iness being done, rather than
an actual easing. American ex
porters merely will be alble to
sell under blanket regulations
what the government has been
issuing individual shipment li
censes for already.
The latest gesture is an ex
change of priests, one to look
after the spiritual needs of Rus
slams in this country and can to
do the same for Americans in
Moscow. The negotiations for
this piece of business were
more complicated than those
which usually attend an exch
ange of ambassadors.
These gestures of little mean
ings are .part of a facade behind
which the cold war continues
unalba ted.
Russia and the western pow
ers are steering a steady course
toward a conflict over the Mid
die Bast which threatens to
tear dawn the facade complete
ly.
It might have been possible
to keep uip the pretense for a ‘
while despite the complete fail
ure of agreement on Germany.
Neither side has expected such
a knotty question to be settled
quickly. Negotiations at least
could continue in an atmosphere ;
of polite contest.
Day by dlay, however, the
west 'is hardening its attitude
toward Russian maneuvers in
the Middle East. The west is go
ing to adt. Among several
open courses off action are:
Guarantees of present boun
daries by Britain and the Un
ited States with strong warn
ings that' aggression by either
Iknael or Egypt will not be tol
erated.
Similar action by the United
Naitions, possibly with the sta- 1
tiening of U. N. troops in the!
demilitarized zone to repel all
violators.
| Furnishing of sufficient arms
j to Israel to maintain a 'balance
I with communist shipments to
the Aralbs — an action which
might stave off immediate trou
ble but which would enhance
the dariger off any later conflict
j In any of these events Russia
and the allies would again face
each other as they did across
. he 38th parallel when the war
ended in the Far East in 1945,
and sweetness and light in
their relations will fly right
i out the window.

TWO YOUTHS FOUND
LATE FRIDAY AT ISLAND
Ridhard Crueger and Donald
Noreen, both 16 years of age,
were found late Friday by Don
aid’s father, E. W. Noreen, and
deputy U. S. marshal Charles
Johnstone at Little Gavanski
Island which lies across the
1 channel 'from Halibut. Point —
thus ending a two-day search
' olf this area.
The two men went ashore
from JohnStone’s speed boat
shorty after five o’clock and
separated to circle the island
u'p from the beach. In a few
minutes Mr. Noreen found ..heir
food cache, then the borrowed
canoe Which they had covered
with leaves. The two men put
the canoe into the wafer, and
Johnstone paddled it around to
his speedboat, returning with
both boa s.
By that time the two young '
men. who apparently watched
Johnstone take oiff wi h the can
oe, came out of the brush and
went up to Mr. Noreen.
The youths, who had intend
ed to voyage to Sea tie via can
oe. had not apparently realized
the anxiety which their dissap
pearance had caused their par
ents until after they were
found.
Richard is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Richard Crueger.
while Donald is the son of Mir.
and Mrs. E. W. Noreen. Both
families live at Jamestown Bay

I COLORED SEALS BEING
DISTRIBUTED BY ACCA
j “Scenic Views of Beautiful
Alaska,” a sheet of 30 colored
. seals, is being widely distrib
j uted by the Alaska Crippled
j Children’s Assn, from the head
quarters office of the organi
. zation in Anchorage.
Brilliantly highlighting Al
askan scenes and activities,
the seals are finding many
buyers as a tourist attraction
or as an item of special in
terest to sJamfp collectors. Al
askans find them useful for
gift wrapping or attach them
to letters sent to friends in
states. I
This year the association1
decided to publicize the terri
tory of Alaska rather than
sending out the Easter seals j
used nationally for the help of
crippled children. Members
felt that a seal Of Alaskan char
acter, which could be used |
throughout, the year, would
| have a greater appeal.
All proceeds are used to
help handicapped children of
Alaska.
