Seveek ami Whaley
On Way Home
■■ And Glad Of It
SEATTLE, OP) — Chester Asa
good Seveek, 66, a retired Eskimo
reindeer herder who now herds
tourists, and Frank Whaley, a re
tired white bush pilot who now
beats the bushes for tourists for
other pilots to fly, reached Seat
tle Wednesday. They’re headed
for Alaska, and glad of it.
“To hot, too dusty,’’ Seveek re
ported of Mexico.
Seveek, whose home Is in Kot
zebue, and Whaley, whose home
is in Anchorage, have just com
pleted a tour of the Pacific Coast.
They appeared before travel
groups and other organizations in
behalf of the Alaska Vistors Assn.
Whaley, managing director of
the AVA, said he expects Alaska’s
tourist business this summer to
be about 20 per cent better than
last year.
Seveek, who made the trip with
ihis favorite dance drum always at
hand, obligingly beat out a few
steps for Whaley, singing his own
native accompaniment, and the
ex-bush pilot danced. It wasn’t
exactly rock and roll, but it was
authentic. Whaley, who flew the
northland for more than 20 years,
is expert in Eskimo terpsichore.
President Speaks Low at
New Conference, Reporter
Misunderstands Remark
WASHINGTON, UP)—President
Eisenhower dropped his voice at
one point in his news conference
Wednesday and the result was
that some reporters misunder
stood a remark he made on long
range missiles.
Eisenhower, disputing charges
that the United States is drag
ging its feet in the development
of missiles as compared to Russia,
took the position that the govern
ment is doing just about all it
can. The way he put it was that
“we are somewhere certainly
around the limit” (of maximum
effort).
The President’s voice happened
to be low at this point; some re
porters could not hear him, and
so misunderstood him to sajr that
“we are somewhere around them”
—the Russians. This would have
meant that the United States and
Russia were about even in the
missiles race.
An Associated Press story con
taining this erroneous version was
dispatched. Questions were raised
by another AP reporter, who
heard it differently. A recording
of Eisenhower’s remarks was
played back, and the AP then
sent the correct version.
Congressman Describes Requests For
Construction In Alaska As ‘Outlandish’
Four Daughters
And Two Sons in
Multiple Marriage
BLENHEIM, Ont., (JV-The four
daughters and two sons ol sugar
beet farmer Leo Dorssers were
wroking out a traffic control sys
tem today for their six-way mul
tiple wedding tomorrow.
The six brothers and sisters are
happily obeying their father’s
good-natured edict that “I go to
only one wedding: not one wed
ding this week and another the
week after and then another after
that.”
Father Willibroad of the Capu
chin monks, who will perform the
ceremony, admitted he wasn’t
sure himself of all the details.
“One thing I’m sure of, though,”
the bearded priest said. “The vows
will be repeated separtely by each
couple to avoid any chance of a
mixup.”
It will be quite a lineup—20 in
all—'before the altar. That in
cludes Grada, Christina, Wilhel
mina, Dora, Andre, and Cornelius
Dorssers.
They will be marrying, respec
tively, Ben Luiking, Jack Van
Haren; Gerad Williemsen, Bill
Vandenberg, Anne Heuvelmans,
and Joan Menheere.

e WASHINGTON, tf! — “Some
body is taking Uncle Sam for a
‘fast ride’ in Alaska,” in the opin
ion of Rep. Preston <D-Ga), chair
man of a House Appropriations
subcommittee.
! Describing money requests for
i Alaskan construction as “out
landish,” the Georgia congress
man recently told Weather Bu
reau officials:
“It would have paid the gov
[ emment if years ago we had es
! tablished a government construc
tion corporation up there to do
all of our building. Somebody is
taking Uncle Sam for a ‘fast ride’
in Alaska. And we have known
it for a long time. We have been
dealing with this problem, with
the Civil Aeronautics Administra
tion, for many years. We always
get an outlandish bill for every
request having to do with con
struction in Alaska.”
Preston’s criticism of Alaskan
construction costs came during
questioning of Weather Bureau
officials supporting a request for
$670,000 for 13 housing units at
five territorial locations.
The location, number of units
and estimated cost:
Barrow, 3 units, $152,000; Kot
zebue, 3, $152,000; McGrath, 1,
$56,500; Naknek, 4, $196,000; St.
Paul Island, 2, $112,600.
F. W. Reichelderfer, Weather
Bureau chief, said living and of
fice facilities at observation sta
tions which the bureau is taking
over from the military “are simply
uninhabitable.” He said the im
provements “must be made in or
der to keep the personnel station
ed there . .
The world has been at peace
in only eight per cent of recorded
history.
