Loses Lung in Surgery
WASHINGTON UP* — Edward R.
Murrow, Director of the U.S. In
formation Agency, had his left
lung removed Saturday during a
three-hour operation.
A spokesman for the Washington
Hospital Center said he was in
satisfactory condition.
The operation was for the re
moval of a tumor in his left lung,
but the spokesman said the loca
tion of the tumor made it neces
sary to remove the entire lung.
The hospital is running tests to
see whether there was any malig
nancy.
First indication of the condi
tion came last week when Murrow,
54, suffered a sore throat and
hoarseness during a speech in
Philadelphia. He entered the hos
pital center for observation last
Sunday.

New Postmaster General
Blasts History of Bias
HONOLULU —The American
Negro — or a person of any other
race, color or creed — will get
equal opportunity for jobs with
the U.S. Post Office Department,
the Postmaster General said Sat
urday.
In his first major speech since
his appointment Sept. 30 as head
of the nation’s largest federal civi
lian agency, John A. Gronouski
told American postmasters he
would not tolerate discriminatory
practices.
“The American Negro is obvious
ly fed up with being a second class
citizen. . . . He refused to wait
any longer for equality and I
don’t blame him,” Gronouski told
the National Association of Post
masters convention at Waikiki
Beach. The convention has at
tracted about 4,000 delegates from
every state in the union.
“I want to see a positive ap
proach to eliminate any remaining
discriminatory practices,” Gro
nouski said “and in areas where
there has been a long history of
discrimination, assertive action
must be taken to make up for
past repression.”

THE DISCOVERY OF ALASKA -
True Maps Scarce In Days of Discovery
This is the first in a series of
chapters depicting Alaska's his
toric growth from a primitive
disassociation of vast wilderness
into a thriving and important
member of the 50 United States,
as described from its inception,
by Bob Redding of Barrow.
By BOB REDDING
— CHAPTER I —
It all started in 1725, when Cap
tain Vitus Bering was called be
fore Czar Peter the Great of
Russia.
“I want you to sail around the
Chukchi Peninsula,” said Peter in
effect, “and bring me proof that
Siberia and America are not con
nected by an isthmus. There is
much speculation about this, and
Russia’s boundaries cannot depend
upon speculation.”
Bering, called Ivan Ivanovich by
the Russians, was delighted to
have been chosen for this mission,
and he came well qualified. A
Danish national, he had served in
the Russian Imperial Navy since
1703. As well as having a reputa
tion for fearlessness, he was
deemed one of the best naviga
tors in the fleet.
“Bring back maps, too,” Peter
further directed, “that are true. The
ones we have at our disposal are
unreliable.”
In those days, maps of far places
were often the result of conjecture
and guesswork, cartographers
having little to go on except rumor
and tall tales. This worked a hard
ship on those who needed reliable
guidance because more often than
not their maps were useless, and
sometimes downright dangerous.
Peter knew, also, that without
good maps Russia’s border would
remain vague, something no ruler
would tolerate.
Wasting no time, Vitus Bering
readied his expedition, and in Feb
ruary departed for Kamchatka
Yezo facing on the north Pacific
Ocean some 5,000 miles away.
From here he would sail up the
coast into regions unknown far
ther than any man had gone be
fore.
He took with him two young
lieutenants who were destined to
play a part in his life for ever
after. Martin Spangberg, a fiery
individual, also Danish, and Alexi
Chirikov, a cheerful, gracious but
stubborn Russian.
At the start these two did not
get along, Spangberg, forceful and
strong-willed, could not bend the
equally strong-willed Chirikov to
his bidding. Quarrels between the
men broke out often, and Bering
was forced to intervene.
“If you are going to serve with
me,” he said quietly, for the Dane
rarely used violence either in tone
or action, “you must stop bicker
ing. I like you both, and I'd hate
to return you to St. Petersburg.”
The threat of going back to
Russia in disgrace silenced the
young men, save on one more occa
sion which we will come to later.
On July 24th, the GABRIEL, a
vessel built by Bering and his men,
sailed from Kamchatka Village.
After three and one-half years of
preparation, the expedition was at
last under way.
Incredible hardships had been
encountered to reach this point.
The Siberian landscape proved so
formidable, and the winters so
bitter that on several occasions
the expedition slowed to a com
plete stop. In addition, the pro
vincial governors, jealous of Ber
ing and his mission, refused help
though they were ordered to give
all assistance possible. A favorite
trick of theirs was to refuse food,
saving the warehouses were emp
ty — though often enough there
was plenty. In one instance, Vitus
was forced to wait an entire sum
mer until the crops came in so he
could replenish his larder.
Now, as the little GABRIEL
poked gingerly through uncharted
seas, all of that was behind them,
and ahead lay—what? An isthmus
Or the open sea! Nobody knew.
