The aerial services took place
at 8 a.m., after a decision not to
attempt removal of the bodies.
The Rt. Rev. Dermott O’Flan

the Rev. Malcolm Miner of the
Episcopal Diocese of Alaska, and
the Rev. Robert Van Nest of the

Arthur Wodley, president of
PNA, and other company officials
were aboard the plane as it flew
over the scene.
The airline and government
agencies said yesterday no effort

The four-engine Constellation
hit the mountain near its summit
while on a flight from Cordova to
Anchorage. It was about 10 to 15
miles off course, but investigators
said yesterday they hadn’t been
able to determine why.

Japan’s Ambassador Fears
Recall of ‘Remember Pearl
Harbor’ Hate Slogan
TOKYO, — Japan’s Ambas
sador to Washington expressed
fear Friday that cancellation of
President Eisenhower’s visit to
Japan might push relations with
America back to “-Remember
Pearl Harbor.”
Koichiro Asakai said upon ar
rival in Tokyo that Japan’s inter
national prestige has been hurt by
the continuing riots.
“I am afraid that the recent
series of riotous events have
plummeted Japan-U. S. relations
to an alarming state. That abom
inable memory of Japan’s attack
on Pearl Harbor still remains deep
in the minds of the Americans.
It is easy to bring the relations
back to the state of Remember
Pearl Harbor,” he said.
“Under the circumstances it is
difficult to convince the Amer
icans that various mass move
ments in Japan are only directed
against Prime Minister Kishi and
the new security treaty and not
against the United States.”

GLEANED FROM THE NEWS

NOME GOSPEL HOME
CHICAGO — In the new report
on Juvenile Delinquency for
Cook County it was discovered
that there was one area of this
city that has virtually no juvenile
crimes reported. This is the China
town Precinct. In checking into
the reason for this lower crime
rate the authorities reported that
they found the Chinese children
are instilled with a sense of duty
and respect for their parents. Here
is a part of the report of their
findings: “It is a matter of family
honor and pride to behave, and
to obey their parents."
How good it is to open God’s
Word and to find that the Lord
would have it thus among all
| children. “Children, obey your
parents in the Lord: for this is
right. Honor thy father and thy
mother; which is the first com
mandment with promise. . . Grace
be with all them that love our
Lord Jesus Christ with sincerity.
Amen.” — Ephesians 6: 1, 2, 24.

Las Vegas Resort Hotel
LAS VEGAS, Nev., <*> — Fire
broke out just before dawn today
at the multimillion-dollar El Ran
cho Vegas Hotel and destroyed
the main building of the fashion
able gambling resort.
After two hours of burning,
only a charred shell of the struc
ture was left. The building housed
all of the hotel’s entertainment
facilities — casino, theater, cock
tail lounge and restaurant.
Show busines personalities, in
cluding El Rancho headliner Betty
Grable and her husband Harry

or so persons who fled the scene.
Guests of the hotel, housed in
cottages and other accommoda

building, were awakened but not
endangered by the flames. The es

Beldon Katelman, sole owner of
the resort, estimated the loss at
five million dollars. He said a half

flames. Katelman made an un
successful attempt to retrieve the
money but was driven out by
the heat.
