Communist Is
Chief. Minister of
,■ -n- - * f - •
British Guiana
By LARRY ALLEN
GEORGETOWN, British Gui
ana, Iff)—-A new government for
Britain’s lone crown colony on
the shoulder of South America is
expected to be formed this week
by Dr. Cheddi Jagan, a Commu
nist.
Gov. Sir Patrick Renison called
Jagan, overwhelming victor in
Monday’s general elections, to a
conference yesterday to discuss
his appointment as chief minister
and ask him to set up a cabinet.
Jagan told newsmen the elec
tion result proved British Guiana
was ready for political indepen
dence like the newly established
state for Ghana on the west coast
of Africa.
He said he was “prepared to
play ball with the governor but
it could not be played by one side
only” in forming a new govern
ment.
Georgetown newspapers said
despite Jagan’s known Red views
Britain has prepared to give him
another chance as head of the
I government.
But they emphasized that Jagan
would get nowhere if he tried to
establish a Communist govern
ment in this colony. They re
i minded him he was deposed as
I chief minister four years ago for
l attempting to set up Red rule.

Supply Mission
SEATTLE*-tf>—Th^ adnjiral
command' of the Navy’s sirpply
mission to* DELine radar Sta*
tions in the arctic today Reported
“what is believed to be the worst
ice conditions eyer encountered
, . . along the top of the North
American continent.”
A radiogram from Rear Adm.
F. E. Stelter, commander of the
Navy’s Military Sea Transporta
tion Service arctic task force, said
the ice and “vagaries of wild cur
rents” are hampering ships from
early completion of the resupply
mission.
Stelter radioed from aboard his
flagship, the USS Eldorado, off
the north cost of Alaska.
The admiral said the currents
and polar ice “have seemingly
joined forces to thwart ships from
offloading supplies in the area
south of Victoria Island, 1,500
miles east of Point Barrow . . .”
He said the concentration of ice
is blocking ships from unloading
supplies at 10 DEW Line sites in
the last phase of the 1957 resup
ply mission.
Steltor said frogmen have re
ported frustrating attempts to
clear beaches in the area. After
clearing offshore underwater ob
stacles with at least a dozen tons
of explosives so ships could un
load, winds have driven the ice
back to the beaches, leaving the
work to be done over again.
Alaska’s most extensive dairy
ing operations are in the Mata
nuska and Tanana Valleys, and
Juneau area.
