Air Force To Evacuate
Tiny Village Isolated By
Kuskowim River Flood
ANCHORAGE, UH — Air Force
units in Alaska are preparing to
evacuate by air the population of
the tiny native village of Tuluk
sak, 300 miles west of here, which
is threatened by the flooding, ice
jammed Kuskokwim river.
Four airplanes and two heli
copters have been ordered to the
. area from Elmendorf Air Force
Base here and Ladd AFB at Fair
banks.
Capt. H. B. Gilmer of the 71st
Air Rescue Squadron at Elmen
dorf said an abnormally large ice
jam in the lower Kuskokwim has
cut off the 175 villagers from land
or water escape.
Air Force spokesmen said the
villagers probably will be flown
to Bethel, 30 miles to the south
east.
The richest woman in the
United States and probably in the
world is Hetty Sylvia Howland
Green Wilks, daughter of Hetty
Green, Wall Street tycoon of the
nineties. Mrs. Wilks has more
money than Doris Duke and Bar
bara Hutton combined.

Amos Burg To
Film Fisheries
For Alaska Dept.
JUNEAU, — Amos Burg, a
nationally known photographer
who has ridden the Colorado
River and roamed many parts of
the world with his camera, has
been employed to make documen
tary and educational films for the
Territorial Department of Fish
eries this summer.
Clarence Anderson, director of
fisheries, said the filming will be
aimed especially for future use in
Alaska schools.
The Department has an $8,000
item in its 1955-56 budget for
educational and information proj
ects to pay for the undertaking.
“Fortunately,” Anderson com
mented, “Burg seems to be more
interested in the travel than the
money. He comes a lot cheaper
than Hollywood cameramen and
he is good.”
Burg has done extensive cam
era work for the Encylopedia
Britannica and the National Geo
graphic. He has been working re
cently on a film project on her
ring while cruising and living on
his own boat in Southeast Alaska.
Specific film projects include
the Taku Gillnet Fishery, experi
mental work on Afognak Island,
King Crab Fishing, the Bristol
Bay Fishery and the Taku River
Headwaters.
SEATTLE, Mrs. Elaine G.
Caffiere, 46, supervisor of the
accounting office at the Univer
sity of Washington, died here Sat
urday. She was a native of Fair
banks, but had lived here the
past 35 years.

I Nehru’s Right Hand Man
! Concludes Private Meeting
With China’s Chou En-Lai
TOKYO, (/ft—Peiping radio re
ported Saturday a top Indian of
ficial left that Red Chinese capital
for home saying “we can look
forward with hope.” His talk may
have touched on the Formosa sit
uation and the imprisoned U. S.
airmen.
The broadcast, heard here in
English language, said V.K. Krish
na Menon made the remark just
before boarding a plane for India.
Menon is top adviser to Prime
Minister Nehru.
The broadcast said he also
quoted a statement Prime Min
ister Chou En-Lai made to an
Indian newsman. It was:
“It is a great deal in these days
to feel that political and social
endeavors are useful. We can only
make efforts in a right direc
tion . . .
“India and China and the peo
ple of the entire world have one
common interest and that is
peace.
“As difficult as the task may
be, and grave as th^ crisis which
can lead a graver crisis, the en
deavors that our two countries
should make would measure up
to some success.”
Menon’s mission in flying to
Peiping last week has never been
fully disclosed. India’s Prime Min
ister Nehru said he was being
sent to discuss further topics
brought up at the recent Afro
Asian conference in Bandung.
Helicopter Flies 475 Miles
On Mercy Mission To
St. Michael From Ladd
FAIRBANKS—The life of a
woman in remote St. Michaels
was saved recently when she was
delivered to St. Joseph’s Hospital
following a 475-mile mercy flight
by helicopter and SA-16 of Ladd’s
74th Air Rescue Squadron.
Mrs. Edward Tom was suffering
from after-birth complications
when the ARS was warned evacu
ation was imperative. A helicopter
took off from Ladd Field early
and landed about 12 hours later
at St. Michael, an isolated village
on Norton Bay. The ‘copter flew
Mrs. Tom to Unalakleet, 40 miles
distant, where the SA-16 delivered
her to Fairbanks. She was admit
ted to St. Joseph’s shortly before
noon.
It was the longest helicopter
rescue flight ever made in north
ern Alaska, reported squadron of
ficials. Since there is no landing
strip at St. Michael and the sand
bar was too soft, helicopter was
the only means of evacuation.
The journey was fraught with
bad weather and treacherous ter
rain. The helicopter was piloted
by Capt. Robert Carroll and 1st
Lt. Lewis Wells. The SA-16 was
piloted by Capt. Monzell Phipps
and carried Capt. William Rike, a
doctor.
The word turnpike originated
from the early American custom
of blocking toll roads with pikes
or poles—when the toll was paid,
the pikes were turned aside.
