Easing of Tension
In Note Exchange
On Japan Incident
WASHINGTON, (IP)—The State
Department is drafting a new note
to Russia on the shooting down of
a U.S. Air Force plane, hoping to
find out whether the Soviets
would seriously like to avoid such
incidents in the future.
An unusual absence of belliger
ency appears to mark the attitude
of both the American and Soviet
governments, despite their oppos
ing versions of last Sunday’s Far
Eastern affair, which cost the life
of one American airman.
The new U.S. note, it is under
stood, will reflect the conciliatory
tone in which President Eisen
hower discussed the incident at
his news conference Wednesday.
And it will be responsive to two
paragraphs of a Russian note of
last Monday which seemed to cre
ate a slight hope here that such
aerial clashes may be avoided or
at least made less frequent in the
future. .
In that note, the Russian gov
ernment expressed “regret” that
what it called previous “viola
tions” of Soviet frontiers by U.S.
military planes had led “to abso
lutely unjustified losses.”
The Russian note then said it
would be in the interest of both
the Soviet Union and the United
States “to take measures for the
prevention of further violations
of the Soviet State border by Am
erican aircraft.”

Rev. Amundsen Ferries
CAP Plane To Nome
Rev. Roald Amundsen arrived
Nome Thursday afternoon with a
Stinson L-5 which he flew from
Anchorage for the Nome Civil
Air Patrol. He came by way of
Nenana and Tanana.
The CAP plane is to be used
by the local organization for
search and rescue missions in this
area.
Previously, the CAP planes
were loaned by the Air Force,
but this ship belongs to the Civil
Air Patrol and all maintenance
and repair must be performed by
the local group.
The ship, as present, is in need
of some repair and must be re
licensed, but plans are underway
to complete the job as soon as
possible.
Bristol Bay Region
Declared Disaster Area
For Second Year
ANCHORAGE, Wl—Gov. Heint
zleman said Thursday he is grati
fied at President Eisenhower’s
action in declaring the Bristol
Bay region a major disaster area
eligible for federal funds.
The natives are experiencing
extreme want for the second suc
cessive year because of the far
below average salmon runs, prin
cipal source of their income.
The territorial governor said
the President’s announcement will
make possible a territorial aid
program similar to one last year.
He said he expects to take the
problem up with the legislature
1 when it meets in January.

Radio was barely out of the earphone stage 26
years ago when a new program was beamed from
a San Francisco studio. It featured a string trio
and was based on the idea that good music, when
clearly understood, could entertain and teach, too.
f Actually, only 72 Western schools had radio sets
| then, but with that performance the Standard
School Broadcast went “on the air,” to serve stu
dents and teachers of the West with a brand
new idea in educational aids.
Today, when Conductor Carmen Dragon lifts
his baton, it’s “time for the Standard School
Broadcast” in over 54,000 classrooms through
the West, Alaska and Hawaii. Counting chil
dren, teachers and home listeners, the program
reaches a weekly audience of nearly 1H mil
lion. That string trio has grown to a sym
phonic orchestra with a dramatic cast, choral
group and guest vocal and instrumental artists.
Selections range the musical alphabet from
symphony to jazz. Each year’s course follows
a carefully planned outline published in a man
ual supplied to teachers by Standard to serve
as a guide in blending music-enjoyment with
subjects like art, literature, social studies. Now
in its 27th year, the Standard School Broad
cast is radio’s oldest education program, heard
today over more than 100 stations. Its goal is
to help Western children gain an absorbing new
interest in the world’s good music and—
through music—a broader knowledge and un
derstanding of the world around them.
Listen to Standard School Broadcast every Thursday.
