Russian Animals,
Performers, Show Feats
In Garden Circus
By TOM HENSHAW
Associaled Press Staff Writer
NEW YORK i/P — Ever see a
bear ride a motorcycle? Or dogs I
play soccer? Or a man ski jump
on roller skates on a high wire?
Those were highlights of the
Moscow Circus which opened last
night at Madison Square Garden
as part of the State Department’s
cultural exchange program with
the Soviet Union.
Valentina Filatov’s 14 perform
ing bears stoic the show. They
seemed almost human as they
walked on their forepaws and
rode scooters, bicycles and tri
cycles.
The bears topped the evening
with a boxing match, which ended
when one contestant lost his
trunks and fled.
Russian performers appear to
rely more on talent than show
man-hip. As a result, the applause
of the small American audience of
8,000 was polite but not enthusi
astic.
The Volzhanskys, a high wire
act, drew ohs and ahs. They cli
maxed their performance by walk
ing double up a wire tilted at a
45-degree angle and then coming
down on rollers off a ski jump
to the platform.
The Moscow Circus gives a fine
performance but most acts are
too mechanical for an American
audience that demands showman -
ship.

“Best Water In Alaska”
Barrow Could be
Model Village for
New Arctic Homes
(Continued from Monday's Nugget)
By FRANCES P. WALKER
Housing Member. The Advisory
Committee on Economic Develop
ment to The Governor of Alaska
Now, an undercurrent of activity
is surging throughout the Arctic
and elsewhere in the State as first
the Alaskan Eskimos and then the
Alaskan Indians gathered in sep
arate meetings to discuss their
needs. Housing was one of them.
It had been expected by “those
in the know” that this housing
need would be met by some type
of government grant program be
cause conventional mortgages and
FHA insured financing cannot in
clude the Arctic and other remote
areas of Alaska. It was felt, how
ever, that in the near future some
government agency would come
up with “millions of dollars” for
housing for the Eskimos and the
Indians of Alaska, but nobody knew
which agency would do it, or how
it would be accomplished. Nobody,
just nobody ever dreamed that it
would come about through private
entei’prise with a signature note!
The Village of Barrow, which
first gained prominence in the
1880s when a military scientific
expedition was sent there to gain
Arctic weather data, later became
the focal point of the 1897 “rein
deer trail” rescue of men aboard
eight whaling vessels crushed in
the Arctic ice, still later to become
the center of the Navy’s oil ex
ploration, and now serves as a
supply center for the DEW Line,
will soon become the first model
village of the Arctic.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs
will be spending an estimated
S400.000 for street improvements,
including an expenditure of $80,
000 for moving about 80 houses onto
lots next winter, in the newly laid
out village. Perhaps some Barrow
residents will choose to build new
National homes instead.
Elsewhere in the State, the ter
rific urge for housing is snow
balling into action as native vil
lages and small towns alike quali
fy for enaling loans for communi
ty facilities to bring about adequate
housing at long last. So, out of the
quonset huts and out of the jerry
built shelters will troop the sturdy
core of Alaskan citizens who live
by choice in the out-of-the-way
places of this vast state, who have
been waiting since Alaska was a
pup for the snug, warm house with
in their means that they may
now buy through National Home-.

Aurora Studied by
Scientists in
— Four scientists, using the facili
ties of the U. S. Army Arctic Test
Board at Fort Wain wright, are
launching huge balloons over Fair
banks to study auroral radiation —
or Northern Lights — at high al- j
titudes.
Three exploratory launchings j
are being followed by 26 flights
with a definite mission. Following
the launching of each balloon, a
constant watch is placed on the
equipment to receive signals trans
mitted to the laboratory from the |
1 balloon.
The first three balloons were 45
feet in diameter. The others meas
ure 100 to 130 feet in diameter.
Similar balloon experiments are
being conducted in Norway under
the supervision of Dr. Harold Tre
foil of Norway's University of Ber- >
gen, and bv a German group in !
Sweden.
The electron and X-Rays which
penetrate the atmosphere are
tracked by radar devices in the
I transmitter and sent to the radio
and receiver at the lab.
The scientists also are studying
radio noise which is generated
from energetic particles in the
magnetic field of the earth. This
controlled experiment is being
staged at a 20-mile level for pur
poses of learning and recording
energy and dynamics of the outer
atmosphere.
After comparison of results with
the scientists in Norway and
Sweden, it is hoped some correla
tions may be found. The Fairbanks
| area was selected as one of the
test sites because of its perfect
’ setting for viewing the aurora.

Indonesia Will Protect

In Anchorage Stopover
ANCHORAGE (JP — Indonesian
Foreign Minister Subandrio said
last night British businesses that

govrnment protection.”
Subandrio chatted briefly witr
newsmen in Anchorage, during
an hour’s refueling stop on his
Northwest Airlines jet flight to
Tokyo, from which he will make
connection for a Pan American

He declined discussions on his
conferences with Rusk.
