Radar Project
Being Supplied
By C-124 Airlift
GREENVILLE, S.C., UH—A gi
gantic airlift of supplies and
equipment for a North American
radar warning system is under
way, Maj. Gen. Chester E. Mc
Carty, commander of the 18 th
Air Force, announced Monday.
Code name for the system is
Dew Line (Distant Early Warn
ing). Gen. McCarty said that the
C-124 Globemasters of the 18th
with headquarters at Donaldson
Air Base here are flying the air
lift.
Edmonton, Canada, is the base
of supply for Dew Line, which
extends from Alaska aci'oss Can
ada to the Atlantic Ocean. Much
of it is being constructed in re
mote areas which previously had
been visited only by explorers.
The C-124s are being used be
cause they are able to carry the
largest practical loads of any
present airplanes, Gen. McCarty
said. The planes can carry 200
passengers or 25 tons of equip
ment *on short hauls.
Though construction of the Dew
Line is a joint U.S.-Canada proj
ect, the U.S. is doing the actual
building with the Western Elec
tric Co. the prime contractor.
Split Texas Into 5 States, j
Congressman Suggests in !
Opposing Statehood Bill
WASHINGTON, UP!—I f C o Ti
gress is going to consider making
Hawaii and Alaska states, a Texas
congressman wants it also to re
affirm the right of Texas to split
into five states.
The request was made by Rep.
i Dies iD-Text Tuesday in asking
, the House Rules Committee to
refuse to send the Alaska-Hawaii
statehood bill to the House floor
for debate.
But if the bill is going to be
| brought before the House, Dies
; said he would prefer it to be done
I under a procedure which would
i permit him to offer an amend
i ment reaffirming the right of
| Texas to divide into five states,
j Texas, he said, reserved that
| right under the annexation agree
| ment by which it joined the Union
I in 1845.
j “It may become necessary.”
; Dies said, “for Texas to have 10
senators to restore equilibrium
and balance in this country.”
The Texan also expressed the
opinion that in view of Texas’ ex
perience in the (oil) tidelands case,
Congress should reaffirm the
| treaty rights which he said the
: Supreme Court ignored in the
j tidelands litigation.

North Pole Gets
Off-Season Gift
With Loan Clause
JUNEAU, Ifi1)—Santa Claus re
versed things Monday night by
dropping a parcel for the North
Pole children. An icy wind was
howling outside on the first night
of spring, but charity comes high
er at this time of year. This gift
package carries a loan clause at
three percent interest.
It’s this way:
The folks up at the new village
of North Pole got messed up a bit
in their school building financing.
North Pole is a little place up
near Fairbanks that does a land
slide mail business around Christ
mas time. Bags of letters are sent
there for mailing and postmark
ing.
j The Senate completed legisla
tive action to authorize he terri
! tory to loan North Pole up to $50,
| 000 for construction and equip
ping of its small, new, concrete
block schoolhouse.
But a legislative act can’t be
for the benefit of a specifically
named place. That would be spe
cial legislation, and wholly im
proper, even for- a distinctive spot
like North Pole.
So the bill describes it this
way: For cities of the Third Class;
for the exclusive purpose of pa>*~
j ing for the construction and
1 equipping of new school buildings
1 in such cities, which were begun
after Jan. 1, 1954. Do you recog
nize it now? Where could it be
but North Pole?
You can bet your bottom
Christmas stocking someone will
remind the governor what it’s all
about—in case he’s never been to
his territory’s most distinctively
named city of the Third Class.
Rev. Reeves. Havens left yester
day for Anchorage to confer with
some of the Methodist leaders
who are arriving there from the
States in connection with the big
drjve on in that area for funds
for the proposed Methodist Col
lege.
