Little Diomede Had Strange Visitors
During Islanders’ Summer Absence
JUNEAU, Oct. 26, WV-Little
Diomede Island—America’s clos
est possession to Russia—appar
ently was visited during the last
summer by unknown persons who
left behind foreign-type cigarets
and scraps of paper containing
writing “that looked foreign.”
Little Diomede is only about
three and a half miles long and
two miles wide, some three miles
away from Russia’s Big Diomede
Island.
Bill Olsen, director of the Alas
ka Native Service, received a re
port today from Carroll Hughes,
general foreman (now resigned!
of the bureau’s office at Nome,
relating evidence of the visit.
Hughes spent Sept. 24 until Oct.
7 at Little Diomede working at
preparing the island’s only school
for the winter return of some 90
Eskimos—the only residents of
the island. •
The Eskimo families, including
about 20 schoolchildren, leave the
island deserted every summer
while they go to Nome and Kotze
bue, on the mainland, to work.
Hughes said in his report that
he found cigarets “that were for
eign to anything I had ever seen
before” and “writing on some
paper that I picked up off the
floor that looked foreign to me.”
He said the school’s food supply
had been opened and “a lot of it
consumed.” He said every dish
kept in the school had been used
—"they hadn’t washed any dishes
or cleaned the place at all.”
He also said the school’s records
and files had been rearranged,
“some of them out of the cabinets
and piled, scattered around over
the room.” Hughes said it ap
peared that the visitors stayed
“several days and nights.”
Price of Slice of Ham
Goes From $1 to $104,000,
Then Down to $85,000
ELIZABETH, N. J., OP—U p
again, down again—that’s the
story of the price of a slice of
ham.
The ham, originally worth $1,
zoomed Up to $80,000 when a
superior court jury ruled Penn
sylvania Railroad dining car stew
ard Jorgenson was wrongfully
discharged and imprisoned on
! charges he stole the ham three
years ago.
Then a second jury upped the
damages to $104,000. The Penn
sylvania Railroad appealed and
Friday the superior court judge
cut the amount to $85,000.
. The railroad wasn’t happy—it
will appeal again.
At long last woman has been
placed at a disadvantage. Man
can now travel faster than sound.
Senator, British
Diplomat Lose
Dignity at Club
SAN FRANCISCO, —B oth
U.S. Sen. George W. IMolly) Ma
lone (R-Nev) and British Consul
General Sir Robert Hadow said
they’re sorry it happened.
The 66-year-old senator and the
61-year-old British diplomat ex
changed words and glares Friday
at the usually dignrfed weekly
luncheon of the Commonwealth
Club. There was also one wild,
futile swing.
Malone, a former amateur box
er, had addressed the club on the
Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act
and foreign aid. He opposed both.
After contending the only two
great nations in the world today
are the United States and Russia,
Malone asserted England is living
on a 300-yead-old reputation and
building a population that can’t
be supported without an empire.
The empire of yesteryear, he said,
no longer exists.
As the audience filed out, Sir
Robert paused near the speaker’s
table. Those present said the hold
er of the Military Cross for gal
antry in combat told Malone he
was a “bloody liar.”
Malone vaulted the table and
threw an off-target haymaker
which the 6-foot-2 Hadow ducked.
Then the two stood glaring at
each other.
Nixon Campaigns In
Oregon Against Morse
!Br the Associated Press)
Vice President Nixon moved
into Oregon Friday night to plead
for defeat there of Sen. Wayne
Morse, who is seeking re-election
in a key senatorial contest.
Nixon told his audience that
election of “a Republican Presi
dent and a Democratic Congress
will mean only one thing—a per
manent roadblock for two years'”
on programs for "better schools,
housing, medical care, welfare,
labor relations, civil rights, and
development of water and power
resources.
Nixon said Morse is “a man
who has in the past and will in
the future work against the Pres
ident’s programs.”
