for quoting an alleged or suspected

confined Luthuli to a sugar field
district outside Durban for advo
cating non-violent resistance to the
government’s white supremacist
policies.

Ray Decker Brings Patient From
Eiim to the Nome Hospital
A Munz-Northern Airlines bush
plane brought Sheldon Nagaruk
and baby Elizabeth from the Nor
ton Bay village of Eiim Thursday
evening to the Nome hospital.
The flight graphically illustrates
the compications of such a mission
and show how inter-agency coop
eration and support by private
companies all contribute to a suc
cessful life-saving aerial evacu
ation.
Thursday night’s flight by pilot
Ray Decker was initiated by a
call by the BIA radio at Eiim
to the PHS hospital at Kotzebue.
Dr. Ortel, medical officer in charge
at Kotzebue, contacted Munz-Nor
thern Airlines by telephone. Pilot
Decker was airborne in 15 min
utes. His Eiim arrival time and
instructions to take the patient to
a point on the sea ice where land
ings were safe was broadcast to
the people at Eiim by the local
radio station. With this informa
tion, the villagers were able to
shorten any delay in bringing
Sheldon and Elizabeth to the hos
pital.

NOME’S SEAWALL
PROVIDES PROTECTION
(From Sen. Gruening’s Newsletter)
Nome is the commercial port for
the extensively mineralized Seward
Peninsula, and principal distribut
ing point for the Coast of Alaska
from the Kuskokwim River to Her
schel Island in the Arctic Ocean,
a distance of about 2,000 miles.
Cargoes destined for Nome are
lightered to and from ocean ves
sles at a distance of about 2 miles.
In 1951, work was completed on
a rock-mound seawall constructed
to provide protection to both in
stallations from severe storms. It is
estimated that, since completion of
this seawall approximately $900,
000 in damage has been prevented.
This figure does not include dam- j
age which might otherwise have I
occurred to important structures
abutting the seawall such as the
post office and courthouse build
ing costing about $1 million and
the Alaska Communications System
building, which is evaluated at
about $500,000. These federal
properties were placed in their
| present locations because of the
protection afforded by the seawall.
The Corps of Engineers requires
funds in the 1963 fiscal year to
stabilize this seawall to improve
protection of lives and valuable
property and for dredging the har
bor.
The amount required in this ap
propriation is $59,000 which was
requested by the administration.
SOVIET PAPER CALLS
IT "DIRTY BUSINESS"
MOSCOW UP) — A Soviet mili
tary paper said today the landing
of American troops in Thailand
| “bear the hallmark of the crude
work of American adventurers —
particularly the U.S. Central In
telligence Agency.”
Red Star, organ of the Soviet
Defense Ministry said: “The world
remembers the disgraceful role
played by that hornet’s nest in
preparing and carrying out the
TTg Intervention in Cuba and
later on in South Viet Nam. It
seems the same dirty business is
being repeated now in Laos.”
JAP STUDENTS TRY
TO STORM U.S. EMBASSY
TOKYO Uf) — About 850 shout
ing, snake-dancing leftist Japanese
students tried to charge the Amer
ican Embassy today in protest
against U.S. nuclear tests and U.S.
troops in Thailand.
Police drove them off after 30
minutes of scuffling.
One youth was arrested. At
least one student and one officer
suffered head cuts.
It was the first anti-test demon
stration since April 27.
An American student was in the
front rank of the demonstrators,
but refused to give his name.
A waving green, flag will annoy
a bull just as much as a red one.
