This is a direct question to
mothers and fathers in Seward.
Do you KNOW what your little
boy is doing when he is away
from home for several hours at
a time? If you do know, does h .*
have your permission to play
on the breakwater and in small
boats in the harbor?
If you feel that he is capable
of taking care of himself in the
Bay that has taken its toll of
lives every year, then there is
nothing more to say.
In the past week, the police
have been called more than once
to take small boys out of a boat
adrift in the shelter harbor. One
rather doubts that these boys
have told their parents of such
happenings.
The city cannot be held re
sponsible for accidents in the
harbor, nor can it maintain a
life guard there to prevent chil
dren from playing in the danger
zone. It is a problem tor parents.
Children are heedless and ig
norant of danger. They are ven
turesome and often play on rafts
made of scrap lumber off the
ships. They have a wonderful
time, totally unaware of any
danger. But when one remem
bers the little child who disa
peared off the bridge near the
waterfall, and th many grown
men who have been swallowed
up in the cold treacherous wa
ters of Resurrection Bay, one
shudders to watch those fittlc
fellows literally flirting with
death.
Parents who have not seen
this dangerous play, or who are
new in the area should caution
the little boys against going to
the shelter harbor alone. It is
no place for them.

MYSTERY SURROUND!
PENTAGON STATEMENT
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sec
retary of Defense Marshall is
digging into the who’s and why’s
of a controversial Korean War
statement, issued at the Penta
gon opoer. nt y without top lev
el clearance.
The stat mer.t, ft ad to report
ers at a news briefing last Fri
day. suggested tii ■ Communists
could be using cease-fire talks
for gaining tim to build up
their forces anci to set a military
trap.
Coming at the height of Kor
ean cease-fire talks, it jolted
top P ntagon o i f i c i a 1 s who
promptly took the '‘official’’ la
bel off the statement and said
th y knew nothing of its origin.
A department spokesman said
yesterday that Marshall and dep-\
utv Defense Secretary Fiobert
Lovett “intend to get to the bot
tom of it."
A Pentagon General, who ask
ed not to be identified, said he
understood the statomen4 was
written ’ y h Army s Psycholog

Army branch which uses words
and other devices as weapons
of psychology against the ene
my.
There was no immediate com
ment Irom Psychological War

But why the statement was
issued, no one could—or would
—say just yet.
The statement said United Na
tions forces cut short a success
ful advance last month which
had Red troops ‘'on the ropes”
after Russia made its truce talks
proposal.
The statement added that the
Communists had seized the op
portunity to build up striking
power along the battlefront

tually withdrawn a combat unit
