HYSTAWAY LETS YOUR "CAT" ■
LO THE WORK OF 7 MACHINES!
Now, you can take your track-type “Cat” and Dozer — add
a Hystaway — and you have a tractor, dozer, dragline, clam
shell, crane, shovel and hoe — all in one machine. The
Hystaway is a modern excavating machine and crane, rep
resenting only a modest investment—yet it does not perma
nently tie up the tractor or restrict its use for other pur
poses. It’s both a utility tool and production tool. Conver
sions can be made on the D6, D7 and,D8 Caterpillar Tractors.
See “NCCo” for full details.
Hyster also makes Winches, Donkeys, Logging
Arches and Sulkies for Caterpillar tractors.

24 Men Parachute Safely
From Disabled Boxcar
Over Libyan Desert
WEISBADEN, Germany, Iff) —
All 24 men who parachuted from
their disabled C-119 Flying Box
car over the Libyan desert late
Saturday night have been found
alive, the U.S. Air Force’s Europ
| ean headquarters said here Mon
day.
Twenty-one of the airmen were
found earlier. The other three
were spotted later by an Air Force
rescue party.
The plane crashed in the desert
60 miles south of the big U.S.
Air Force base at Wheelus Field,
Tripoli.
The survivors, none seriously
injured, were taken by helicopter
and ground rescue teams to the
Air Force hospital at Wheelus.
Some of the survivors suffered
cuts and bruises and ankle in
juries as a result of the jump.
PILOT ARRESTED FOR
EORROWING PLANE
WITHOUT OWNER'S CONSENT
ANCHORAGE, UP)—Roy McMil
len of Anchorage was arrested
Friday in Naknek on a charge of
borrowing a plane without the
owner’s consent and flying three
passengers from Anchorage to II
iamna, King Salmon and Naknek.
The plane belongs to Gale Mize,
who noticed that it was missing
from its parking spot at Merrill
Field Wednesday. He traced Mc
Millen through three flight plans
filed with the Civil Aeronautics
Administration from Iliamna to
King Salmon to Naknek.
f MOSCOW, (fl) - Russia announced
I Saturday she has the hydrogen
1 bomb.
! Soviet Premier Georgi Malen
j kov made the statement in a sur
I prise appearance before a joint
session of the Supreme Soviet
(Parliament). He declared:
“The United States no longer
has monopoly of the hydrogen
bomb.” He added that the Soviet
Union has now mastered its pro
duction.
(The statement that the Soviet
Hnion has the hydrogen bomb and
has mastered its production came
through Soviet censorship.)
At the same time Malenkov
said there is a great public de
mand for talks on the highest
level among the world’s 'great
powers.
He said there is no reason for
a collision between the Soviet
Union and the United States. He
added that American statesmen
were making a big mistake if they
considered Soviet t efforts toward
peace were a sign of weakness or
softness.
He also demanded a place in
the United Nations for Red China.
He told the deputies the Soviet
defense budget—even though less
than last year—provided for giv
ing “a crushing blow to any ag
gressor who wants to violate the
peaceful life of the Union of So
viet Socialist Republics.”
(President Eisenhower was in
formed immediately of the re
port. He had no comment.)
(The United States has never
said officially that it has devel
oped a hydrogen bomb. The AEC
has said there has been experi
ments in certain thermonuclear
devices, which has been taken to
mean that work has been done on
hydrogen bomb - like explosives.
Rumors of a successful H-bomb
explosion followed a series of
tests last year in a Pacific island
group.)
Malenkov was given a rousing
reception. Dressed in a khaki tu
nic buttoned up to his neck, he
spoke quietly but quickly from
a prepared text.
Malenkov made a -direct refer
ence to the ousting of Lavrenty
P. Beria as deputy premier and
minister of the interior. He said
it was shortsighted to think that
the case of Beria showed any
weakness in the Soviet state. Mal
enkov said that to have exposed
and rendered harmless a master
agent of imperialism was a dem
onstration of internal strength.
Malenkov once again declared
the Soviet Union adheres to the
principle that there are no out
standing controversial questions
that connot be solved by peaceful
negotiations between interested
states — including Soviet-Ameri
can problems.
The premier said that after
many years there is now felt a
certain relaxation in the atmo
sphere of international affairs.
But, he declared, there are
forces which put stakes in war
and follow a strategy of cold war
and atomic blackmail.
Malenkov termed the North At
lantic bloc the main danger to
world peace and assailed what he
called a United States policy of
atomic blackmail.

U.S. Says Reds
Must Turn Over
All U.N. Prisoners
WASHINGTON, OB—1The State
Department told the Communists
Saturday they must turn over to
the armistic repatriation commis
sion all United Nations prisoners
captured during the Korean War.
A department spokesman said
any who have been given jail
sentences are to be included.
The statement, put out by Act
ing Secretary Walter Bedell
Smith, expressed grave concern
over reports the Communists may
not intend to return “all our pris
oners now in their custody.”
Earlier this week Gen. Mark
Clark said he thought the Reds
might hold 2,000 or 3,000 U. S.
prisoners of war whom they have
not listed for repatriation.
News dispatches from Korea
have told of the reported sentenc
ing of American POWs by the
Reds in the last few weeks.
Saturday’s statement said “pro
gress of the prisoner exchange is
being watched very closely and
appropriate action will be taken
just as soon as definite facts are
established.”
Officials said the “appropriate
action” involves procedure pro
vided in {he armistice agreement
for making complaints of viola
tions of the agreement. The agree
ment requires that all POWs in
cludeding Allies who do not want
to go home must be made avail
able to their own officers for in
terviews.
Beity Epps, housemother at the
Jessie Lee Home at Seward, ac
companied by Jerry Boston, a
territorial school teacher from
Ellamar, are visitors in Nome for
the next week, having arrived
over the weekend.
Reds’ “Mercy Shots”
FREEDOM VILLAGE, Korea,
UP)—A South Dakota soldier re
turned in Saturday’s prisoner ex
change said he saw three despar
ately ill captives die within min
utes after receiving inoculations
from the Chinese.
“Everyone called them mercy
shots,” said Pvt. Cleveland Clair
mont, 23, of Madison, who spent
32 months at Pyoktong P O W
camp near the Yalu River.
Clairmont estimated that about
1,700 prisoners died at Pyoktong
from dysentery, pneumonia, ex
posure and starvation.
New Regulation Protect Bering
Sea and North Pacific Halibut
WASHINGTON, UP) — President
Eisenhower signed a bill to pro
vide enforcement regulations for
a new treaty with Canada for
preservation o'f northern Pacific
and Bering Sea halibut.
An Interstate and Foreign Com
merce . committee report said the
regulations are in line with those
adopted for previous treaties of
this nature.
Majority leader Knowland told
the Senate the new halibut treaty,
supplanting one adopted in 1937,
is expected to increase the fish
catch by eight per cent and will
mean a million-dollar-a-year in
crease in fishermen’s earnings.
