“Total Disarmament Is Total Nonsense.
It 1$ Too Late To Panic," Speaker Says
"It is too late to panic,” was the
advise given by Dr. W. L. Wood,
president of the University of Alas
ka, speaking before a group of real
tors and others attending the final
night's dinner at the Elks Club of
the Alaskan Association of Real
tors Convention held here Friday
and Saturday.
Dr. Wood summarized the effec
tiveness of present day nuclear
arms by saying: ' New weapons are
in everyone’s backyard. We are in
an explosive world. War today
YkOuld mean a 90 percent destruc
tion of populations.”
Characterising the present day
means of warfare as "doomsday
machines,” Dr. Wood emphasized
that with the international insta
bility that exists today “total dis
armament would be total non
sense." Production of arms is more
important—*x»f tremendous import
ance." He said Russia was a nation
of Pied Pipers of Peace. American
proposals, he said, require careful
preparation. The Soviets are quick
to exploit any weakness in our
proposals, he stated.
The speaker then pointed up the
dangers of Red China. That nation,
he said, is striving to surpass all
others, even Russia. Even with its
huge population today, its popula
tion is on the increase.
“It’s a rough game we're in.” the
University president stated. Either
nation can strike back after either
strikes first. A balance of terror
will exist.
Dr. Wood stated that a scientific
breakthrough might be a stabiliz
ing influence. “Our hope of sur
vival depends on how highly edu
cated our people are.’
“What does the uncontrolled
future offer? He answered this by
stating: “It’s sometimes best to
just ask questions. We can only
hope the big nations place re
straints on themselves.’ Dr. Wood
concluded by saying that we are at
that point in history when it is to
late to panic.
Leave all your tasks for tomor
row and see how quickly the future
becomes the past.

Farmer R. McKeighan sent word
to a federal judge in Rock Island,
Illinois that he would not be able
to report for jury duty because he
didn’t have anything to wear. Court
officials found out that McKeighan
was telling the truth. A tornado
had carried away the farmhouse,
including most of McKeighan’s
clothes. The judge dismissed him
from jury duty.

It puts the engine ahead like the tip of an arrow . It tames “wind wander’’ and road sway • It sweeps you forward in
a hush of luxury • It turns the floor hump into foot space.
WHAT IT IS-Buick's big new move: It positions the great new Wildcat V-8 and Turbine Drive way up front over Buck's

WHAT IT DOES As the engine went forward, the floor hump went DOWN. And, the forward weight makes wheel

Ferry Elevator
All Important
Further design work on the
State’s proposed Kodiak-Homer
ferry is awaiting receipt of recom
mendations from a Seattle firm for
the vessel’s single revolving eleva
tor.
B. E. Lewellen, director of the
Alaska Division of Marine Trans
portation, said today a firm spec
ializing in such elevators has been
called in by Philip A. Spaulding
and Associates of Seattle, design
ers of the State vessels.
Lewellen said the Spaulding
firm already has drawn prelimin
ary sketches of the vessel, but is
now awaiting a design on the ele
vator installation before proceed
ing further.
Lewellen said that the elevator
of the deep water Kodiak-Homer
ship is “all-important.” He noted
that tentative plans call for the one
big elevator to be located at the
i
rear of the 260-foot vessel. The ele
vator would reach all the way
across the vessel’s width so that
vehicles can be loaded from either
the port or starboard sid$.
The director said the elevator
is being designed to lower vehicles
to the main deck where it will
serve as a turntable to facilitate
parking the vehicles.
