DYNAMITE HIM A I H
PETERSBURG SCHOOL
PETERSBURG -T — A stick of
dynamite wired for discharge was
found under the Petersburg school
yesterday after the arrest of two
juveniles police said were respon
sible for a recent crime wave here. :
The boys, aged 14 and 15. were
committed by Magistrate Hartley
Crosby to a juvenile institution
until they are 18.
After the hearing and 15 min
utes before they were scheduled
to take off for Juneau in custody
of the state's chief probation of
ficer. one of the boys warned Po- ;
lice Chief Lou Hennig of the dyna
mite.
Hennig said the boys admitted
more than a dozen burglaries,
thefts and cases of vandalism since
December. They burglarized a liq
uor store and stole 11 sticks of
dynamite from the city powder
storage shed Monday only a short
time after they had appeared in
Magistrate’s Court on a previous
arrest. They were let go with a
warning.
The chief said the two had loot
ed the school of §148 during the
Christmas holidays, returned twice
last week but found only 53 cents,
and planned “bigger things” with
the dynamite.
A number of business houses
and liquor stores also were broken
into.
CAN DO
WASHINGTON CP> — Despite a |
boast bv Russian Premier Khrush
chev of an antimissile that “can
hit a fly in space,” the Defense
Department still thinks U.S. mis
siles can penetrate to their targets.
“We think our knowledge of de
fensive systems is as good or bet
ter than theirs,” a Pentagon
spokesman said Tuesday when
asked about Khrushchev’s state
ment. “We are satisified our mis
siles can penetrate.”
One of four U.S. youngsters is j
receiving a higher education. In j
the U.SS.R. the ratio is one of
eight.

GOOD INTENTIONS ?
SKATTLF i.T* —- Undersecretary]
of the Interior James Carr, told
a Seattle World's Fair press con
ference Tuesday that the Japanese
fishing fleet is cooperating with
Americans in the Alaska fishery
where he had just completed an
extensive tour.
“The Japanese boats are staying
well outside the fishery line and
we can only feel it is the result
of Secretary of Interior Stuart
Udall's recent strong statements
in Tokyo,” Carr said.
The Undersecretary explained
that Udall informed Japanese fleet
owners that their fishermen were
taking more fish from the North
Pacific fishery than were North
American boats.
Carr, who spent nine days in
Alaska with Fish and Wildlife
Service Director Clarence Pautzke,
said they saw just about all of
Alaska “anyone can see in nine
days.”
Pautzke said the shrimp industry
is growing rapidly in the Juneau
area, but he pointed up the need
for more exploratory ships to find
the shrimp beds in he coastal
waters of the Alaska Gulf.

HELICOPTER MAKES
EMERGENCY LANDING
NEW YORK — An airport <
shuttle helicopter carrying 22 per- j
sons made an emergency landing j
on the East River after one of its
two engines failed. It stayed afloat
—as officials said it was designed
to do—and was towed ashore.
None of the 19 passengers and
three crewmen was injured.
Representatives of the Federal
Aviation Agency and the Civil
Aeronautics Board, called to the
scene, reported foreign matter
found in one of two engines caused
! its failure.
The helicopter, a new Boeing
j Vertol 107 of New York Airways,

stopover at the Wall Street Heli
port on the East River.
TIME BOMB EXPLODES
ABOARD B.C. FERRY
VANCOUVER, B.C. UP — A time
bomb exploded yesterday aboard
the ferry Chinook as she lay at
her overnight berth. Damage was
minor and crewmen, asleep in an
other part of the ship, were unhurt.
Police and government inspectors
found pieces of a shattered alarm
clock. The lifebelt locker in which
the bomb had been placed splint
ered and several lifebelts ripped
j to shreds.
The government owned ferry can
carry 1,000 pasengers and 100 cars.
It is 300 feet long and resembles
an ocean-going passenger liner.
Two Guards Suspended

Northwind Makes
Surveys In Waters
Off Siberian Coast
WASHINGTON UP — The Coast
Guard reported yesterday its ice
breaker “Northvvind” is making
scientific surveys in international
waters near Siberia.
And, before it finishes its tour
several months from now the
Northwind will have probed ocean
currents, the earth’s crust under
the Arctic Ocean and helped sup
ply a U.S. ice station 800 miles
from the North Pole.
It’s part of the Coast Guard’s
stepped up oceanography program,
with sailors and scientists taking
part.
Right now, the Northwind is
gathering data in waters near Si
beria about the Oyashio current,
which flows to the southwest paral
lel to the Siberian coast in the
western Bering Sea. This current
is an important factor to the Alas
kan fisheries the Coast Guard
notes.
Radio waves from the tall an
tennas of the Coast Guard Station
at Point Clarence are helping the
Northwind to plot ocean currents
and bottom contours with accu
racy.
During August, the ship will re
turn to historic patrol duties in
the Bering Sea, plus helping to
provide medical care to the na
tives of Northern Alaska.
In September, begins gathering
data from 75 oceanographic sta
tions in the Gulf of Anadyr and
the northern Bering Sea, areas
important to the nourishment of
marine life.
The project calls for the North
wind to make three-hour stops at
each station so that scientists
aboard can make high precision
measurements of water salinity,
temperature and dissolved oxygen
content and take bottom samples.
Winding up its four-month mis
sion, the Northwind will gather
data from stations north of Siberia
and Alaska in the Arctic Ocean
during October and also resupply
Ice Station T-3, 800 miles from the
North Pole.
Among the many assigned proj
ects, scientists from the University
of Wisconsin’s Polar Research In
stitute will gather information on
the earth’s magnetic field.

BALLOON 13-STORIES TALL
SENT 950 MILES INTO SPACE
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. W* —
The largest space vehicle ever sent
aloft—a balloon which inflated to
the height of a 13-story building—
was rocket 950 miles above the
Atlantic Ocean today as a fore
runner of an advanced Echo com
munications satellite.
The gleaming silvery sphere,
dubbed “Big Shot,” provided a
brief but spectacular show for
ground observers in the Cape Can
averal area as it separated from
the Thor booster, expanded to its
full 135-foot diameter, and drifted
across the predawn sky. It was
visible for nearly 10 minutes be
fore becoming obscured by haze
and cloud.
Today’s shot was to determine
whether the balloon would expand
and hold its form after being sent
aloft. There were no communica
tions tests.
After rising to 922 miles the
balloon plunged back and burned
up as intended in the earth’s atmo
sphere.
ANTHROPOLOGIST TO
GATHER ETHNIC DATA ON
TANANA VALLEY INDIANS
HANOVER, N. H. UPl — Prof.
Robert A. McKennan, Dartmouth
College anthropologist, has gone to
the interior of Alaska to study the
ethnic divisions and cultural af
filiations of the Tanana Indians.
He received a $6,700 grant from
the National Science Foundation
for field studies designed to bridge
the last major gap in ethnographic
knowledge of the Indians who live
in scattered settlements and iso
lated family groups along a 400
mile stretch of the Tanana River
Valley.
Prof. McKennan explained that
ethnographic data, which defines
the genealogy, customs and other
ethnic characteristics of races and
cultural groups, is still the basic
need in the growing field of his
torical anthropology. He was the
first anthropologist to make such a
study of Alaskan Athapaskans 33
years ago.
And he hopes his work will lead
him to an ancient trading site for
possible future excavation by ar
chaeologists.
