Pilot Attends Baby’s Birth
On Remote Island Station
KODIAK, (#)—Pilot Bill Harvey
played the roles of both midwife
and aerial ambulance pilot in an
island drama of life and death—
in which death wrote the final
chapter.
The Kodiak airways pilot was
on a regular weekend mail flight
when he received radio orders to
pick up the wife of Bob Black
burn, radio technician at the Point
Banks range station on lonely
Shuyak Island, for a flight to the
Kodiak Hospital for the birth of
a child.
The stork beat the plane. The
pilot and husband presided at the
baby’s birth on the island, an hour
before a Navy doctor’s arrival by
helicopter.
Harvey then flew the Black
burns, their infant and the doctor
to Kodiak. The baby was placed
in an incubator but the spark of
life flickered out Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. John Ellis (Mrs.
Margaret Bjornstad) are the par
ents of a daughter, Deborah Lee,
born last Saturday at Waterloo,
Iowa, and weighing 6 lbs., 6 oz.
Grandma Bjornstad was en
route to Waterloo from Nome at
the time of the event.
Government Surplus Piles
Not Allowed For Sale
To Russia Or Satellites
WASHINGTON, GD— Secretary
of Commerce Weeks announced
today the government will not
allow the sale of government
stocks of surplus farm products
to Russia or her satellites.
But Weeks indicated that appli
cations for permission to sell pri
vately owned non-strategic farm
products to the Soviet bloc might
get favorable consideration.
Trade with Russia or her Com
munist allies must be approved
by the licensing division of the
Commerce Department’s Bureau
of Foreign Trade.
Week’s statement turned thumbs
down on an application by
Dwayne Anders, Minnesota soy
bean miller, to export 3,000 tons
of government-owned surplus cot
tonseed oil to Czechoslavakia.
