Japanese Interested
In Huge Iron Deposit
In Yukon Territories
CALGARY, Alta. UP) — Three
large Japanese steel manufacturers
are reported interestd in a huge
iron deposit in the Yukon.
A spokesman for Crest Explora
tions Ltd., a subsidary of Standard
Oil of California, said here Wed
nesday, representatives of the
Japanese firms will inspect the de
posits at the end of the month.
The original report of Japanese
interest in the deposits, believed
to contain 20 billion tons of iron
ore, was published by the Japan
Economic Journal.
The steel manufacturers are
Yawata Iron and Steel, Fuji Iron
and Steel and Nippon Kokan, de
scribed at the “Big Three” of the
Japanese business.
Geologists for California Stand
ard made the iron ore discovery
in 1961, when they were looking
for oil in the Snake River area,
320 miles north of Whitehorse.
No oil discoveries have been
made in the area, although drilling
is currently under way about 100
miles west of the deposit.
The journal said Crest proposes
Japanese firms help develop the
oil as well as iron reserves and
possibly crush the iron, sending it
through a pipeline with the oil to
Skagway, Alaska.

The Day the
Ponies Were Beat
NEW YORK W> — They say you
can’t beat the horses. But this was
the day they did it. To the tune
of $20,343.40.
“Human error,” an embarrassed
Louis Walger said after mutuel
clerks at Aquiduct Race Track had
shoved more than $20,000 in over
payment through the windows.
“This is the first time in my 28
years of experience as a mutuel
manager that an error of this par
ticular type has happened,” ex
plained Walger, who is director
of the Mutuel Dept, of the New
York Racing Assn.
The cause of his discomfort came
about in the first race Wednesday.
The electronic calculator which
automatically figures the prices on
the ponies had broken down in
a dry run before the first race.
Mutuel department clerks, who
normally check the calculator’s
figures, were pressed into duty
figuring the prices manually.
Somehow, they failed to take
into consideration that one horse,
Parma, had been scratched.
The error showed in the place
prices. Brenda’s Hope, who won
the race, was listed at $16.30 for
a $2 place ticket and Brown’s
Risque, who finished second, was
listed at $5.50.
That’s the price that was de
clared official and that’s the price
the track paid.
But clerks later discovered
they'd made an error. The place
price on Brenda’s Hope, figuring
in Parma’s scratch, should have
been $7.50 and Brown's Risque
should have been $5.10.
What’s more, ticket holders who
haven’t yet cashed in, still will
receive the higher erroneous fig
ure.
“The error was not discovered
before the prices were declared I
official,” Walger explained. “The I
New York Racing Assn., of course,
is responsible for the windfall on
the place tickets and will assume
the loss.”
There were no reports of dis
agreement from the bettors.

Three Eskimos Burst
Out of Submerged Plane
In Selavvik River
By Percy Ipalook Sr.
KOTZEBUE (JPi — A pre-fourth
| tragedy was averted only by
; quick-thinking and strength of an
| Eskimo passenger in a small air
I craft at Selawik, about 100 miles
J southeast of Kotzebue.
Arthur Fields and Daniel Sny
der, working for the Bureau of
Indian Affairs on a school build
ing, had engaged their friend, Bert
Beltz, a veteran Eskimo pilot, to
pick them up on the 3rd in order
to spend their holiday at home.
The flying weather was anything
but good — rain mixed in with
fog and high winds, and visibility
not more than three miles at best.
Beltz crept in the Eskimo vil
lage without any '.us.ul incident.
It was the takeoff on a short field,
coupled with cross wind and ap
parent low power of the motor
which dunked them into the Sela
wik River.
The pilot knew what was coming
so he hollered to his friends that
they would not lift up. Rather than
crash into a low river bank on the
other side he cut off the motor
and splashed in.
Before they completely sub
merged, but the water at their
necks, the passengers unbuckled
their one seat belt, tried to open
the door which was already block
ed by water.
Fields than gave all his strength
elbowing the door, and according
to reports, the door “flew off,”
hinges and all. Both passengers
climbed out but the pilot was still
in his cockpit.
Snyder dove in twice to see, but
it was a matter of a minute or
two that Beltz also emerged. All
three on top of the sinking craft
could do nothing but wait for an
oncoming boat to pick them up.
If it came to worst before the
boat arrived, Snyder, who is a good
swimmer, was confident he could
have made it to shore.
“But them,” he said, “I knew
at least one of the two would sink
like a rock unless I was near b3'
to help.”
Fields had it all planned out.
"All I needed to do,” he said,
“was to walk on the wing next
to shore and dove off. Hitting the
bottom, I would then walk into
the general direction of land un
derneath.”
The pilot was perched at the
tail end when picked up, but he,
too, would have done his utmost
to get to dry land.
His friends knew he would, for
being a fabulous dare-devil of a
flier, his motto has always been,
“Go, Go. Go, Eskimo.”
As a people Americans are tall
er and heavier than they were 50
years ago, but individually ther
eat about 100 pounds a year less
food.

Booed by British
Demonstrators
LONDON (JPi — British officials
were stunned Thursday that Queen
Elizabeth II was booed by demon
strators protesting the state visit
of King Paul and Queen Frederika
of Greece.
Communist, anarchist and ban- j
the-bomb demonstrators shouted
invective at the royal party as it1
entered and left a gala theatrical
performance Wednesday night.
Elizabeth, visibly shaken, drove j
off alone and unsmiling to Buck
ingham Palace instead of attend
ing a government reception with
royal visitors and her husband,
Prince Philip.
The demonstration was organ- !
izod by the “Committee of 100
Against Tyranny” to demand free
dom for what they call Greek po
litical prisoners. The Greek gov
ernment calls them murders and
traitors convicted of crimes in the
civil war that broke out at the
end of World War II.
Premier Panayotis Pipnelis of
Greece saw one of the chief in
stigators of the demonstrations, j
Mrs. Betty Ambatielos, Thursday, j
He promised to give King Paul her
appeal for release of her husband,
Tony, from prison.
Mrs. Ambatielos said she would
take no further part in the demon
strations.
Mrs. Ambatielos is a British
Communist, a school teacher, and
wife of a Greek Communist who
has spent 18 years in prison.
The erroneous idea that ost- !
riches stupidly try to hide their '
head in the sand when threatened
probably arises from the fact that
these birds, when resting, often
squat down and stretch their
neck out flat on the ground.
