Pvt. Ronald Ailak of Nome
Finds Things “Too Hot
For Comfort” In Korea
WITH THE 40th INFANTRY
DIV. IN KOREA — Army Pvt.
Ronald E. Ailak, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Sam Ailak of Nome, Alaska,
finds Korea a little too “hot” for
comfort at times.
Recently Ailak was driving a
;jeep for the Intelligence and Re
connaissance Platoon of the 160th
Infantry Regiment near the front.
The vehicle had been parked for
a short while before Ailak got
into it. Only seconds after he
drove away, the spot upon which
the vehicle had been standing
was the site of a direct hit, the
explosion of which rocked the de
parting jeep.
“I’m not used to these hot cli
mates,” declared Private Ailak as
he headed back to his unit in a
hurry.
The 160th Infantry Regiment is
part of the 40th Infantry Division
which landed in Korea early this
year after intensive training in
Japan. Originally a California
National Guard Division, it was
called to active duty in 1950 and
has since been filled with men
from all parts of the Union.
Board of Public Members
Wage Stabilization Board
To Administer Program
WASHINGTON, (/P)—'The gov
ernment prodded its limping
Wage Stabilization program back
into action today to accommodate
unions and employers with 12,000
wage boosts awaiting an official
oka^.
Administration of the entire
pay controls set-up was changed
over the weekend when President
Truman, despairing of getting in
dustry men back into service on
the Wage Stabilization Board,
turned the problem over to Econ
omic Stabilizer Roger L. Putman.
Putnam, whose own resignation
takes him out of government in a
few days, turned the situation
over to Chairman Charles C. Kil
lingsworth and three other public
members of the WSB. They were
empowered to carry on wage con
trols.
Instead of the WSB with equal
nupbers of members represent
ing the public, industry and labor,
Killingsworth and his three pub
lic members are to administer
wage controls. They asked the
labor members to stand by for
“i.v vice” in handling future cases.
Evangelist Billy Graham
Preaches to Koreans
PiUSAN, Korea, (/P)—Evangel
ist Billy Graham, bundled in an
army parka, called for sinners to
repent—and hundreds of Koreans
came forward tonight.
Graham preached before some
6,000 Koreans—and some G.I.s—
who jammed a blocked-off circle
in a Pusan street. No hall in the
city would accommodate the
crowd so Graham spoke in the
bone-chilling open air.
Well-dressed and ragged Kor
eans mingled with grandmothers
and youngsters to hear the famed
evangelist preach from a wooden
platform erected in the circle.
Thousands sat on straw mats on
the ground and thousands stood.
Graham paused frequently in
his fervent sermon, allowing a
South Korean Presbyterian min
ister to interpret his remarks to
the attentive crowd.
Closing his sermon, Graham
dramatically' urged the Koreans
to come forward and proclaim
their faith. An estimated 300 Kor
eans and a handful of American
soldiers pushed toward the plat
form. Graham prayed for them.
They listened to the interpreter
with heads bowed, then answered
in chorus.

SCORCHY SMITH ' ’ ACE OF THE AIR STRIPS
ARC Will Spend About
$20 Million Next Year
JUNEAU, (/P) — The Alaska
Road Commission probably will
spend about 20 million dollars on
the highway system next year,
commissioner A. F. Ghiglione
said Thursday.
Ghiglione has just returned
from presenting budget estimates
to the Bureau of the Budget. He
said a presidential directive for
bids revealing details of the re
quest until Congress gets it but
it entails about the same expen
ditures as last year’s $20 million.
Most of it, he said, would go
toward finishing the paving pro
gram for through roads, of which
about 620 miles are completed
and about 440 miles remain for
completion in the next two years.
Another request is for funds to
complete the Richardson High
way to McKinley Park. Seventy
of the 162 miles of this roadway
are complete.
Other requests are for the Cor
dova-Richardson and Anchorage
Seward Highways.
WASHINGTON, (JP) — Helen
Keller, famous blind and deaf au
thor-educator, has called on a
Czechoslovakian newspaper to re
tract a story in which it said she
endorsed the Communist - run
Vienna “peace” conference.
The State Department said Fri
day Miss Keller, a leader in ef
forts to aid the blind, had repudi
ated the story in a Voice of Am
erica broadcast to Czechoslo
vakia.
The Prague newspaper Rude
.Pravo reported Dec. 6 Miss Kel
ler said “I am with you in your
wonderful movement with all my
heart.” Actually, Miss Keller, a
few days earlier, had assailed the
Vienna congress as “a mask for
the furtherance of Stalinist pro
paganda.”
