Defensible Line
Necessary, Says
Secretary cf State
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1-iM—Sec
retary of State Acheson rejected
flatly today the Communist proposal
that a buffer zone be set up in
Korea along the 38th parallel.
Acheson told a news conference
the Reds wish to go back to a line
over which they launched an un
provoked attack—to start the Ko
rean war—and he said that is not
acceptable.
He added that Secfuiswy of De
fense Marshall has made it en
tirely clear that any demarcation
line must be a defensible line.
Events have shown, Acheson said,
that this is not true of the 38th
parallel.
He declared that the talks now
under way at Kaesong are essen
tially military talks, but that the
Communists have been trying to
use them for a political purpose.
By this he apparently meant
that instead of being willing to
stop the fighting where the armies
now are and where both sides
would have strong defense posi
tions, the Reds have tried to get
all of North Korea again in Com
munist control while leaving the
South to the Allied forces.
This would be a return to the
situation which existed before the
Communist assault last summer.
At the- moment, Acheson said,
truce talks seem to be stalled. The
negotiators have had several fruit
less meetings.
Acheson also said that Gen. Mat
thew B. Ridgeway and his delega
tion to the Kaesong meetings have
handled their share of the negotia
tions forcefully and soundly.

'Harriet Craig/
Starring Crawford,
At Capitol Theatre
Joan Crawford has never looked
more bewitching — nor behaved
with such lack of moral restraint —
than in her present acid-etched per
formance of a fascinating woman,
at war with everything and every
one who stands in her way. The
star's film, which arrives at the
Capitol Theatre today, is titled
"Harriet Craig.” Co-starring Wen
dell Corey, "Harriet Craig” is based
on the famous Pulitzer Prize win
ning play, "Craig's Wife,” by George
Kelly. The film is certain to be
rated one of the five beat, picture.;
of the year.
Essentially t. h o emotionally
charged examination of the com
plex relations between a woman
ind her husband, “Harriet Craig'*
•merges as a magnificently con
ceived motion picture. Under Vin
cent Sherman’s able direction, Miss
Crawford dominates the screen in
a glittering performance that w»l
rank as the peak achievement of
her career.
Complete School
Survey In Interior
And Westward
After completing work in the In
terior and Westward on a Federal
school survey program, Herbert
Hillerman, director, A. N. Eide
and Robert Isaac, assistants, re
turned to Juneau last week.
Purpose of the survey Is to t.ffce
inventory of present school facil
ities, buildings and equipment
and to establish the present and
expected pupil load of the Terri
torial schools.
It is part of a national pro
gram being carried out in the
states and Territories to analyze
a community's ability to pay for
its school’s maintenance or new
construction and to establish what
amounts might be needed from
the federal government for up
keep of schools. ‘
The Alaska survey is working
under the supervision of the Ter
ritorial Department of Education
but completed reports of the school
situation in Alaska will be for
warded to the U. S. Congress for
its consideration.
Hillerman, Isaac and Eide vis
ited Anchorage, Fairbanks, Nome
and smaller towns such as Una
laska, villages on the Kuskokwim,
Fort Yukon, Eagle and coast \
towns to the Westward.
Southeast Alaska will be cov
ered within the next month.

MAY CLOSE ALASKA
PENINSULA AREA
Although the Alaska Peninsula is
having one of the best pink salmon
runs in several years, it may- be
necessary to close the area for a
time, Clarence Rhode, regional di
rector of the Fish and Wildlife Serv
ice said today.
Low water in the streams is the
reason, Rhode said. The situation
is especially noticable at Deer Is
land, near Sand Point, on which
one of the area’s best pink salmon
streams is located.
Richard Shuman-, fisheries man
agement agent, is at Deer Island
now making a check of escapement
low water conditions.

TERS, KOREA, Aug. 1 — UPl — A
south Korean government spokes
man said today United Nations
forces should be kept in Korea
lor at least one year.
The spokesman, Dr. Clarence
Ryee, called for the immediate
withdrawal of Chinese Commun

the Chinese army to go. They
have no business here.
Ryee said the South Koreans
could “defend ourselves if we had
artillery and planes."
“We have the fighting spirit,”
he added.
Ryee said about 250,000 men are
available as troops but half are
untrained and the other half had
basic training of only one month.
The spokesman disclosed that

ALASKA ELECTRIC
LIGHT and
POWER COMPANY
ty0ook/
By Bob De Armond
Matanuska Valley farmers, living
in what some people have called
the Dust Bowl of Alaska and fre
quently facing the threat of long
dry spells, are showing an interest
in man-made rain.
Turning on the rain by artificial
means has been proved feasible in
some places but it is still far from
an exact process. The rain makers
haven't yet found a way to put tht
water just where it is wanted 01
shut it off when the people down
below begin to holler "that’s 1
enough."
Tampering with the rain clouds,
in fact, can sometimes be almost
as devastating as tampering with
the atom.
Tlic Dry Ice treatment for per
suading clouds to turn loose their
moisture is the older of two meth
ods now used and was first tried
by Dr. Vincent J. Schaefer of Ger
eral Electric Company.
In this method, particles or pel
lets of dry ire are sprayed into a
cloud formation from an airplane.
The moisture in the cloud is pre
cipitated almost at once and falls
over a limited area as rain, or some
times as snow or hail.
Users of the dry ice method have
had trouble in accurately aiming
their deluges and the rain they
produce frequently misses the farm
lands where it is wanted and falls
on picnic grounds or baseball diam
onds where it is unwelcome. Down
in New Mexico a road builder is
reported to have lost $50,000 on cer
tain contracts as a result of rain
making experiments thereabout.
The defects of this method may
be cured in time by some sort of
scientific instrument combining
moisture measurement with a bomb
sight.
The Silver Iodide treatment of
clouds, discovered by another Gen
eral Electric scientist. Dr. Bernard
Vonnegut, has a much more wide
spread effect than the dry ice treat
ment,
While nobody knows for sure just
how far the results may reach, it
has been pretty well established
that dosing a cloud with a little
silver iodide may affect w’eather
over thousands and even millions of
square miles.
The silver iodide may be sprayed
into the clouds from a plane, or un
der certain conditions, from a mach
ine on the ground. The process
is known as seeding.
Dr. Irving Langmuir, the famous
American scientist who was instru
mental in getting General Electric
interest in rain making, started ex
perimenting with silver iodide at
Socorro, New Mexico, in 1949.
Heavy Rains began to fall in the
Mississippi Valley soon after Dr.
Langmuir started doctoring the
clouds. When he cut down the seed
ing, the rains lessened.
Then he started seeding on only
two consecutive days each week,
the same days eacli week. Results
were, to say the least, spectacular.
For as long as he continued that
pattern, Buffalo. N. Y.. received 14
times as much rain on Tuesdays
as on Saturdays and Wilkes Barre,
Pa., got 42 times as much ram
on Tuesdays as on Saturdays.
Ratios like those were reported
from cities in an area of about a
million square miles. Other exper
iments showed similar results. The
odds against such things happen
ing by chance, Dr. Langmuir cal
culated, were around two million
to one.
Some People were pleased with
Dr. Langmuir's experiments and
many people were not. Enthusiastic
farmers in some places claim their
lands have doubled in value as a
result of man-made rain; other
farmers in other place complain
either that their lands have been
robbed of natural rain rightfully
theirs or that they have been de
luged with an over supply of wat
er.
Back in Illinois and Indiana a
good many farmers who have suf
fered damages from floods during
the past four or five years blame
the floods on the rain makers in
New Mexico and their tampering
with the weather although many of
the floods happened before the
sorcery ever got started.
And what the people in Topeka
and the two Kansas cities are say
ing these days about rain makers
in general and New Mexico rain
Pioneer Fishing

Dies in Seattle
SEATTLE, Aug. X, —(X\— Capt.
Egill Eriksen, 71, a fishing vessel
captain on Pacific coast waters
50 years, died Saturday.
He was born in Norway and
served with the International
Fisheries Commission when he
first came to this country. He op

makers in particular will be likely
have to be edited before publica
tion.
I'p Here In Alaska, so far as is
known, there have been no exper
iments in rain making. But in
much of the Interior the placer min
ers as well as the farmers could
frequently use more water than
they normally receive during the
summer months. A little extra rain
now and then. Judiciously laid down,
would benefit both farmers and
miners, help keep down the dust
and curtail forest fires.
The dry ice method may well be
used to help in dropping water
in certain areas, but in view of
what has happened elsewhere, Al
aska clouds should be doctored with
silver iodide only after a great deal
of prayer, meditation, crossing of
fingers and scientific study of the
subject.
Rain Making: as a science, art or
business, has come to the attention
of Congress, along with the sug
gestion that the rain makers ought
to be placed under some sort of
control.
Perhaps they should be, but It
bothers us a little that foremost
among the departments putting in
a bid for the control authority is
Alaska's ancient paternal guard
ian, the Department of the In
terior.
We are not prepared at this
time to state categorically that
such control should not be vested
in the Department of the Inter
ior. But Alaskans have been sup
pliants to that department for far
too long.
We prefer to postpone thinking
about that morning, perhaps not
too distant, when an Alaska far
mer or miner, needing a little
water for his crops or his sluice
box, will have to put In a call
to Secretary Chapman at Wash
ington: “Please, Oscar, could you
let US' have a little shower of ■ rain
this afternoon?’’
