Photographers
Leave Arctic With
Film for Disney
FAIRBANKS, UPl—A pair of
famed wildlife photographers,
Herbert and Lois Crisler, have
emerged from the isolation of the
arctic wilderness with film for a
planned full-length Walt Disney
movio.
The couple from Washington
State and Colorado spent nearly
three years on the Disney assign
ment—in a strange land of vast
spaces and many hardships.
From last April until last week,
when a chartered plane lifted the
Crislers from their wilderness
camp, they had seen only four
human beings. Their most con
stant companions have been the
wolves and the caribous.
Last July their cameras ground
out a recording of the impressive
flow of a vast herd of 30,000 cari
bou above the Arctic Circle—a
moving mass two miles wide
across the desolate tundra.
The Crislers packed their sup
plies endlessly on their backs after
being supplied by air. They lived
in tents or “crackerbox” shelters
made of plywood and plastics.
They lived and worked in 40 be
low zero cold for the first time in
their lives.
The Crislers arrived in Alaska
in 1952 and spent a season in the
Mt. McKinley area, filming the
life of the grizzlies.
Then they went to the Kenai
Peninsula and Katmai for filming
the Kodiak bear. The final stage
of their arctic saga included four
months of work on polar bears at
Point Barrow and more than a
yea® filming the wolves and cari
bou in the mountainous country
of the Brooks Range above the
Arctic Circle.
Defense Secretary Wilson
May Make More Speeches
LOS ANGELES, HD—Defense
Secretary Charles Wilson has in
dicated he may make more politi
cal speeches. The cabinet member,
whose bird dog - kennel dog re
mark raised a political furore, was
asked Wednesday if he intended
to n\pke more political talks. Grin
ning, he replied:
“I don’t know why not. I have
n’t been doing too badly at it. As
a matter of fact, I plan to make a
speech in Dayton, Ohio on Oct. 29
that could be interpreted as pol
itical.”
Inspecting jet fighters at the
Northrop aircraft plant, Wilson
told a reporter he believes the
national defense should remain
above party politics but added:
“I believe in the purposes, ob
jectives, methods and means of
the present administration and I
don’t mind saying so.”

Flying Farmer Trip
Didn’t Set Record,
Says Aeronautics Assn.
WASHINGTON, UP)—'The Na
tional Aeronautics Assn. (NAA)
has informed Delbert A. Fuhri
man, Utah flying farmer, that his
2,800-mile non-stop flight from
Victoria, B.C., to Key West, Fla.,
last week fell short of a distance
record.
Charles S. Logsdon, manager of
the NAA’s headquarters office
here, said Fuhriman’s Cessna 170
plane was too heavy to compete
against the Piper Supercub record
held by Max Conrad—some 2,400
miles between Los Angeles and
New York.
Logsdon said that since the
Utahan’s plane weighed more than
2,200 pounds, it competed against
the 4,962-mile record set by Bill
Odom in a Beechcraft Bonanza,
from Honolulu to New York in
1949.
He previously failed on an at
tempt to set a light plane distance
record from Alaska to the East
Coast.

Joe Amarok, Proprietor
► PARIS, UP)—The three western
powers and the Bonn Republic
Thursday reached complete agree
ment on steps to end the Allied
occupation of West Germany and
restore virtually all sovereignty
to the West Germans.
The foreign ministers of the
United States, Britain and France
took the action yesterday after
noon in a brief session with Ger
man Foreign Minister Konrad Ad
enauer.
The four statesmen put the fin
ishing touches on a series of long,
detailed documents which are to
replace the two-year-old Treaty
of Bonn, never completely ratified.
These documents set forth the
conditions under which the West
Germans will recover sovereignty
after almost a decade of occupa
tion.
The documents, along with a
series of annexes covering West
Germany’s future relations with
the West and the status of Allied
armed forces in West Germany,
are to be signed in a formal ses
sion Saturday afternoon in the
French foreign ministry.
Thursday’s action cleared the
way for West Germany’s incor
poration into a seven-power West
European union and membership
in the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization (NATO).
Treaties embodying these steps
are to be signed Saturday after
noon at the same time, pending
successful conclusion o'f addition
al talks to be held here.

Dog Rescues Owner
From Stickup Man
OWOSSO, Mich., UP)—Boots, a
purebred police dog, did a fast job
on a holdupman yesterday.
Boot’s master, Gail Shewalter,
Perry Township farmer, was busy
in his orchard when a young man
left a pickup truck on the road
and approached him.
Remarking “This is a holdup,
give me all your money,” the in
truder hit Shewalter on the head
with a club.
Shewalter called for Boots.
Boots dashed up and drove the
man to a fence, where he sank his
teeth in the man’s leg. The man
jumped the fence in pain and
fright and drove off with a com
panion in the truck.
