Morocco Claims Capture
Of Two Algerian Outposts
MOROCCO (iP — Fighting broke
out today along the disputed Mo
rocco-Algeria border today. And
Moroccan officials say Moroccan
forces occupied two outposts which
Algeria took over Oct. 8. Algerian
officials have denied the claim.
The cabinet director for King
Hassan of Morocco says there
were no casualties.
In Algiers, the government of
Ben Bella said fighting continued
throughout the day. And that Mo
roccan troops were supported by
tanks and planes.
President Bourguiba of Tunisia
has offered his good offices as me
diator to settle the conflict. But
there’s no immediate word on whe- j
ther Algeria and Morocco will
accept.
The location of the fighting is
given as about 200 miles south
east of Marrakech where Mrs.
Jacqueline Kennedy is the guest
of King Hassan. The American
First Lady arrived in Morocco
yesterday for a final four days of
a vacation trip.
CHICAGO tffl — Chicago’s City
Hall took on the appearance of a

The occasion was the installa
tion of Irish Prime Minister Sean
Lemass as an honorary citizen of
Chicago.

Invisible Ties of Poetry
Inasmuch as the last Legislature
of Alaska passed a resolution des
ignating Oct. 15, to be observed as
World Poetry Day, the Poetry So
ciety of Alaska, Inc., requests that
! public schools be urged to see that
poems are read, dramatized or dis
cussed in every classroom; that
ministers use them in their pulpits,
and that libraries draw attention lo
them. This is the first year we
have had a Poet Laureate, Mar
garet Mielke, of Anchorage, will
carry that honor for two years as
prescribed by the 1963 Legislature.
The purpose of World Poetry
Day is to unite the nations of the
world by the invisible ties of poe
try, thereby bringing a deeper uni
versal understanding of one an
other.

Average Consumer
Takes More Meat
(From 'Agriculture and Livestock')
If you’re an “average consumer.”
you'll eat 167 pounds of meat be
fore 1963 comes to an end. Accord
ing to the latest government study,
this is 19 pounds more than you
annuallv consumed during the
1947-49 period. Moreover, your
meat tastes are changing. You’re
eating 41 per cent more beef, 70
per cent more chicken, and 48 per
cent less veal. Tastes are chang
ing in dairy products, too. \ our
per capita consumption of most
dairy products has declined. M’lk,
for example, is down 14 per cent.
On the other hand, you re eating
31 per cent more cheese.
Eggs are down, too. You'll out
away 314 eggs this year — 71 less
than you did 15 years ago. You’re
drinking 11 per cent less coffee
and 17 per cent more tea. Fresh
fruit eating is down 38 per cent
but the figure is offset by an equiv
alent increase in the use of canned
and frozen fruits. You’ve also cut (
down your eating of fresh potatoes,
mostly ecause you’re either
weight-conscious or have a seden
ary job which lessens he need
for starchy foods.
Fifty years ago, the U.S. per
capita consumption of potatoes was
200 pounds. By 1951 it had dropped
to 101 per person. Since then, U
has edged to around 114 but your
current consumption of fresh po
tatoes is only 78 pounds. You’re
digesting the differesce (36 pounds)
in the form of potato chips and
frozen, fried and dried spuds. 1
j Chips are now the top item in vol- 1
j ume among processed forms of pc- i
' tatoes but frozen varieties have
shown the greatest gain in recent
years.
In terms of your total diet,
you'll consume a bit more this year
than you did in 1962 — and you’ll
spend only 18.9 per cent of yo tr j
take-home pay for food. Ten years J
; ago you were spending 22.4 per
cent for food. Explanation for the j
lower percentage: A decline in J
some farm prices, plus the fact!
people spend proportionately less
for food as their income rises.

THE DISCOVERY OF ALASKA
Bering Finds Kamchatka Is Peninsula
(Continued*
By BOB REDDING
CHAPTER IV
Early in the summer of 1729,
four and a half years after leavin
St. Petersburg, Captain Berin
nosed the little GABRIEL out into
unknown seas for the second time.
His purpose was to locate Amer
ica, which he and his lieutenants
Spangberg and Chirikov were con
vinced lay not too far northeast.
“We are certain of success,” said
Vitus, “if the signs are at all re
liable,” but he had yet to reckon
with fate.
From the very outset the GAB
RIEL was followed by severe
storms, notoriously frequent in
the North Pacific even today. The
ship's gear, half rotten when first
installed a year before, was in
worse shape now. The sails had
been badly lacerated during the
expedition to Siberia’s upper coas-,
but had been patched as well as
possible with the /naterials at
hand. The canvas was weak, how
ever, and under the pressure of
storms popped open at the seams.
Ropes snapped at the least strain,
and the crew was kept busy splic
ing them together.
“This doesn’t look good.” mut
tered the usually optimistic Chiri
kov. “One really bad gale and we'll
be feeding the porpoises,”
“I don’t think they eat people,”
said Spangberg with grim humor.
“Ha!” countered the Russian. “1
just don’t want to give them the
chance!”
The seas rose day by day as
the GABRIEL rolled farther and
farther from Kamchatka-Yezo. In
stead of letting up. the weather
worsened until the full scale gale
that Chirikov feared lashed the ves
sel mercilessly.
And here fate again stepped in |
between Bering and America. To
save his ship, Vitus was forced to
change course to the south and flee
before the raging storm under bare
masts, the sails furled to keep them
from being blown to bits.
For three days the GABRIEL
wallowed and plunged through the
billowing waves before the storm j
let up enough for the canvas to be !
raised again.
"We are too far south, now," j
said Bering, "to continue our i
search for America. We'll sail
west for Kamchatka-Yezzo so we
can find anchorage if another
storm hits. One more like that
and the GABRIEL is finished.”
For two days a westward course

was followed, at the end of which
time Bering consulted with his or
ficers.
"Something odd here,” he re
marked indicating a chart. "Ac
cording to this, we should be at
least in sight of land, but so far
we have seen nothing.”
The map was one of DeLisles,
which caused Spangberg to snort,
"He has been wrong before, Cap
tain. Do you suppose it has hap.
pened again?"
Vitus nodded. "Very possible."
His usual calm was gone, and his
Dyes sparkled with an exciting
idea. “Gentlemen, let us try a
ittle experiment.”
The GABRIEL sailed west for
mother day, then Bering ordered
i change to the north. After 12
lours on this course, another was
nade due east.
"Now," Vitus was on the bridre
jlass in hand, "we will learn how
iccurate Mr. DeLisle’s projection
>f Kamchatka-Yezzo really is.”
After a stretch of another 12
lours, land hove into view, and
fitus clapped his hands together
n appreciation.
"What does it mean?” ques
ioned Chirikov.
“It means,” replied the captain,
that we are on the west coast
f Kamchatka!"
"You mean Kamchatka-Yezzo,
ir?”
"No, Alexi, because there is r.e
uch thing. Wo have just sailed
round the southern tip of K,i:n
hatka, my friend, which means
here is no Yezzo. Kamchatka is
peninsula.”
Vitus spoke with the firm de
L'rmination of a man who knows
e is right. "Through a cruel
uirk of fate — for DeLisle, we
ave proven without a doubt that
is map of this region is faulty
- It is very faulty, indeed!"
