BPR Reports 400 Miles of
Sled Trail Staked in
Northern Alaska
JUNEAU — The Bureau of
Public Roads announced last
week that more than 400 miles of
sled dog trails have ben staked
in the Nome-Kotzebue area and
that they are being used by native
hunters and fishermen and for
general travel.
It is an annual chore which is
done under contract, mostly by
Eskimos, said Frank Morris, BPR
assistant division engineer.
It is a throw-back to the old
days when the Alaska Road Com
mission built and maintained all
trails for the movement of mail
by dog teams. It is the only part
of the country where the program
continues.
FAA Rules Air Passenger
Drinks Must be Served
By Airline Stewardess i
WASHINGTON, 1*1 — The Fed- I
eral Aviation Agency Saturday!
tightened the rules for drinking
aboard airliners: A passenger can
still bring his own bottle, but the
stewardess must have control of
pouring the drinks.
The idea is to prevent passen
gers getting excessively drunk by
belting a bottle at will.
Big airliners usually serve'
drinks from an airborne bar as
part of the service. Smaller air
lines often have no bars, but will
serve set-ups to passengers who
bring their own liquor.
' Under the new rule, such pas
sengers would be required to turn i
in their bottles as they board, to
the stewardess, who would then
pour the drinks from it. .
The airlines also are ordered
not to serve liquor to anyone who
appears intoxicated.
The FAA rule also provides |
that anyone who carries his own
bottle and drinks front it in
flight could be fined up to $1,000.

Cuban Political
Prisoners’ Escape
Plot Thwarted
By HAROLD K. MILKS
HAVANA, UPI—Military author
ities said Saturday they had un
covered an escape plot at La Ca
bana Military Prison organized
among 190 persons accused of
trying to overthrow Prime Minis
ter Fidel Castro’s regime.
An announcement said officials
had found small exploratory tun
nels dug from one gallery in
which 70 of the group are held.
Authorities said an entrance to
the tunnels had been found under
the bed of Roberto Martin Perez,
j son of a former army colonel.
Martin Perez is one of the most
prominent among the 190 held in
the so-called Trujillo plot. He was
arrested last August after a gun
fight at Trinidad between Cas
tro’s forces and occupants of an
arms laden plane that flew in
from the Dominican Republic.
Castro has charged that the
purported plot was backed finan
cially by Generalissimo Rafael
Trujillo, Dominican Republic
strongman and archenemy of the
Cuban revolutionary leader.

W. Berlin Officials
Crack Down On
Nazi Educators
BERLIN, MB — West Berlin
school officials threatened Satur
day to crack down on teachers
who refuse to tell their pupiis
the truth about Hitler and the
Nazi era.
School Superintendent Carl
Heinz Evers said his move was
inspired by the recent wave of
anti-Jewish acts, most of them
carried out by youths who have
had their schooling since World
War II. '
The new move came in the
wake of a demonstration by 10,
000 Germans against hate-mon
gers and Nazism.
Evers told newsmen he intends
to bring disciplinary action against
any teacher who fails to give a
correct picture of what the Nazis
did. He also promised to prevent
former Nazis from getting teach
ing jobs.
Half the teachers in West Ber
lin are over 45 and Evers said
most of them were members of
the Nazi party. Under a West
German law, party members who
had no serious charge against
them are entitled to get back
jobs they lost right after World
War II.
“This,” Evers said, “has brought
us teachers we could have done
without.”
In Friday nights demonstra
tion, the crowd — mainly young
people — carried banners read
ing “Nazis get out” and “Against
race hatred.” They marched quiet
ly through the center of West
Berlin.
The anti-Nazi demonstration
was the first staged in Germany
since 1933, when Adolf Hitler rose
to power.
