Youth Lost
In Crevasse
Of Glacier
Trail Crew Combing Ice
Pack in Search for
Gerald Ross, Fairbanks
ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Sept. 27
— I/P) — A Tenth Rescue Squadron
trail crew combed Bartlett Glacier
today in a search for Gerald D. Ross,
21year-old Fairbanks youth who is
believed to have fallen into a 40
foot crevasse on the ice pack Sun
day.
Ross, a construction worker, was
accompanied on the glacier trip by
Bob Rose, 23, of Mountain View,
near Anchorage. Rose stumbled into
Munter camp at Mile 49 Monday
afternoon and gasped out the story
of his companion’s loss.
Rose said he and Ross were cross
ing the glacier Sunday morning
when Ross lost his footing and fell
into the crevasse. He apparently
was unhurt and asked Rose to go
for help.
Rose was exhausted when he re
turned to Munter camp but started
out yesterday morning with the
rescue crew. He couldn’t remember
the exact spot, however, and two
army engineer helicopters from
Seward have been called in to assist
in the search.
The rescue parties, both in the air
and on the ground, have been ham
pered by heavy rainfall and 60 mile
winds.

New Contractors
Be Enlisted for
Work in Alaska
(Continued from Page One)
7,885 Men Employed
"They are employing 7,885 men on
our pockets throughout the Ter
ritory. There are 1,184 civilians and
officers, working for the district
and its resident engineers. It is es
timated that 1,800 engineers were
employed on the 65 design con
tracts.”
Pearson has just concluded a field
trip through most of the construc
tion projects in the Territory for the
purpose of developing copy for state
side publication. At close hand he
analyzed multiple construction at
Whittier, Ladd and Elelson Air
Force Bases, Ft. Richardsdh and
Elmendorf AFB. He was escorting
Douglas McCrae, field photowriter
for the Pacific Builder and Engin
eer, a construction magazine with
nationwide readership. McCrae will
author a series of articles illustrat
ing design and method. Of the trip
MaCrae said:
“This recent on-tlie-ground
observation of construction meth
ods and working conditions clear
ly indicates that contractors in
Alaska arc not confronted with
insurmountable construction prob
lems. It is obvious that early
obstacles have been admirably
overcome and that facilities now
available to the contractor are suf
ficient to assure him that complet
ing a contract in Alaska is no
more of a trick than it is in the
states.”
The technical information of
ficer states that the Alaska district
of the corps of engineers seeks new
contractors to bid on 1952-1953
projects of the biggest construction
program in Alaska.
Invitations to bid on a wide var
iety of contracts are now scheduled
and will be released through rou
tine channels. Individual requests
for details are to be promptly ser
viced.

Truce Talks
Communist Liaison
Officers Taken to Ask
in Official Statement
TOKYO, Friday—(fll—1The Allies
suggested Thursday resuming ne
gotiations for a Korean armistice
at a village in No-Man's-Land,
with demarcation of a buffer zone
as the first order of business.
Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway’s pub
lic information office followed this
move with a statement that the
Reds may be trying to force the
United Nations to break off the
talks "out of sheer frustration and 1
futility.”
The statement was issued a few
hours after the Supreme Allied
Commander made a proposal de
signed to get the suspended talks
restarted. Ridgway suggested a new
conference site in No-Man’s-Land
where delegates could resume dis
cussions of item two of the agenda—
location of a military buffer zone.
The headquarters release took
Communist liaison officers to task
for refusing to discuss anything but
a time and date for a new meeting.
“The significance of this ... is
obvious,” the statement said. “The
Reds at the present time are re
sponsible for the califng off of
the truce talks . . . such a turn
of events does not help their so
called ‘peace offensive,’ which has
been going on for many months
now.”
The site Ridgway proposed is
near the village of Songhyon, six
miles southeast of Kaesong.
Red China’s Peiping radio to
night called Ridgway’s proposal an
"attempt to escape from responsi
bility for the air and ground viola
tions of the neutral zone,” the
broadcast quoted a Communist
newsman C. *T. Sim of the Reds’
Telepress. ,
The broadcast said Ridgway has
“for the third time dashed the hopes I
of the world for the resumption of
the Kaesong armistice conference.” j
