Alaska Senators Would
Limit Aleutian Mail Run
To State Carriers
WASHINGTON, UP> — Senators
Gruening and Bartlett testified
Wednesday in support of their
joint hill to assure promptest de
livery of mail to the Aleutian
Islands.
Their measure would limit the
route of the mail boats to the
Aleutian and Alaska Peninsula
run.
Under present law, a carrier
could include Seattle on the route,
thereby adding some 1,200 miles
which, if confined to Alaska, is
already some 1,500 miles long.
A proposed 61-stop route start
ing at Seward would take more
than 18 days to complete both
ways, Gruening told the Senate
Postoffice Committee. Allowing a
carrier to include Seattle, he said,
.would add another two weeks to
that time.
Limiting the service to an
Alaska carrier would' also benefit
crewmen involved, Senator Bart
lett told the committee.
“The crewmen are Alaskans
who understand the area served
and who feel related to the com
munities at which they call,” he
said. Their travel time, he added,
permits them to rest at home with
their families between voyages.
Neither the Post Office Depart
ment nor the Budget Bureau ob
jected to the measure.

[Terrorists Attack
U. S. Viet Nam Base
SAIGON, Viet Nam, U?) — A
Communist terrorist slipped into
an American military billet 20
miles north of Saigon Wednesday
night during a movie and ex
ploded a bomb, killing two U. S.
military advisers, himself and
three South Vietnamese.
Another American officer was
wounded, and two others escaped
injury.
The wounded American was
flown to Clark Field at Manila
for treatment. A communique from
the South Viet Nam government
and the U. S. Embassy said his
condition was not serious.
Following the bomb attack,
other members of the terrorist
band opened fire from outside the
billet with small arms and auto
matic weapons, the communique
said.
Vietnamese army guards re
turned the fire, forcing the ter
rorists to flee to the nearby river
from which direction they had
come, the communique reported.
The attack was the first on
Americans in South Viet Nam
since October 22. 1957, when ter
rorists bombed the U. S. Infor
mation Agency library, an Amer
ican military bus and a U. S.
hostel, all in Saigon. Thirteen
Americans were hurt seriously.
The war between France and
the Communist Viet Minh ended
in July, 1954, with the signing
of an armistice at Geneva parti
tioning Viet Nam. Since then
there have been sporadic terrorist
attacks in South Viet Nam by
small bands of supporters of Com
munist President Ho,Chi Minh’s
North Viet Nam regime
