U.S. Geologist Completes
Work on Beryllium
Find at Lost River
Pete Sainsbury, geologist for the
U.S. Geological Survey who made
the startling beryllium find at Lost
River last month, has completed
his work in that area for the sea
son and leaves for his California
headquarters. Late this month he
will present a paper before the
American Mining Congress which
meets once every three years and
at which leading mining men from j
all over the states gather.
Mr. Sainsbury expresses appre
ciation to the people of the com
munity and this part of Alaska for
their cooperation and advises cau
tious optimism in regards to the i
beryllium deposits. He expects to
return in the spring and resume
exploration for the U.S. Geological
Survey.
He reports that one of the last
persons to stake out ground be
fore his departure with the berly
ometer was the petite young Aus
tralian girl, Barbara Wenkley, who
is thumbing her way around the
world. She heard so much about
beryllium while in Nome, that she
went to Lost River, where she
studied the samples and learned
how she could acquire beryllium
claims. She then followed the di- |
rections, located her discovery and
staked two claims for herself.
Magistrate Maurice K e 11 i h e r
stated that 70 claims have been
filed.
IRS Sets Its Sights
On Earnings of B-Girls

1 Internal Revenue Service has set
. its sights on taxing the earnings
I of B-girls.
Laurie Tomlinson, District Di

Nina Is Behind Schedule
HUELVA, Spain UP) — The tiny
Nina, a modern replica of the
smallest of Christopher Columbus’
discovery fleet, sailed into the Rio
Tin to waters here today to end
the first leg of its attempt to re
trace Columbus’ original route.
It was badly behind schedule.
Lack of wind delayed the Nina
and its crew of seven, including
American Robert Marx, an under
water exploration expert. The sail
ing ship left San Sebastian Aug.

Peggy Sherman has been ap
pointed to fill the vacancy in the
Clerk of Court’s office, replacing

Russia Warns
U.S. of Possible
World Nuclear War
MOSCOW W — The Soviet gov
ernment warned the United States
Tuesday an attack on Cuba would
be the beginning of a war that
might turn into a world nuclear
war.
In a statement read to special
Foreign Office news conference,
the Soviet government accused the
United States of staging provoca
tions “which might plunge the
world into the disaster of a uni
versal world war with the use
of thermonuclear weapons.”
“One cannot now attack Cuba
and expect that the aggressor will
be free from punishment for this
attack,” the statement continued.
“If such an attack is made, this
will be the beginning of unleash
ing war.”
The statement appealed to the
United States "to display common j
sense, not to lose its self-control '
and soberly to assess what its j
actions might lead to if it unleashes I
war.”
It said the Soviets would not
follow the path of the United
States in calling up 150,000 re
servists.
But the Soviet government, it
continued, “considers it to be its
duty to remain watchful in this
situation and order the Defense
Ministry as well as the command
of the Soviet army to take all
measures to put our fighting forces
into the highest degree of fighting
readiness.
“This is exclusively a precau
tionary measure. On our side we
shall do everything not to violate
peace.”
The statement added an appeal
to all nations to raise their voices
against the alleged aggressive plans
of the United States and to pre
I vent the "American aggressors”
! from starting a war.
j The statement declared the So
I viet Union is sending military sup
plies and military technicians to
Cuba but is not establishing a base
there.
“We state and we repeat,” the
statement said, "that if war is un
leashed, if an aggressor attacks
one or another state, and this state
turns to us for help, then the So
viet Union has the possibility of
giving aid from its own territory,
to any peace loving state, and not
only to Cuba.
"And let no one doubt that the
Soviet Union will give such aid.”
In the statement, the Soviet gov
ernment also declared it wants a
settlement of the Berlin question
and a liquidation of the occupa
tion regime in the divided city.

The Missing Pen . . .
HARTFORD, Conn. /P — It cost
I only 08 cents.
! But. why, said the reporter,
I should he allow former President
Harry Truman to make off with
his old ballpoint pen?
So the Hartford Courant's .Jack
Zaiman asked Truman to search
his pockets when the pen vanished
after the ex-President used it to
sign an autograph at a Democratic
dinner Saturday nigh;.
Twice Truman poked through
hi. pockets, but the pen eluded
the former chief executive.
Zaiman refused to shrug off the
loss, lamenting the pen in Mon
day’s paper.
Local Republicans gave Zaiman
another pen and urged him to be
wary of whom he lends it to.
The missing pen was returned
via a Democratic courier. Truman
had found it after the dinner.
