Get Navy Award in Washington D.C.
WASHINGTON, (jP>—Two Eski-?
mos who scout for the Alaska Na
tional Guard about 30 miles from
the Russian frontier reported Fri
day they have noted no Soviet air j
or surface activity in the area
since last June, when Migs shot
down a Navy Neptune patrol ;
bomber.
The two Scouts, M/Sgt. Willis
Walunga, 31, and Sgt. L. C. Clif
ford Iknokinok, are here to re-1
ceive Navy certificates of com
mendation for the parts they
played in rescuing 11 crew mem
bers of the Neptune.
They said that their Guard unit
keeps a constant watch from St.
Lawrence Island, close to Russian
Siberia, but has noticed nothing in
the way of Soviet operations since
the June incident.
The Navy plans a round of ra
dio and television appearances for
Walunga and Iknokinok and today
will present them with certificates
for leading the rescue. They also
will receive silver wings, making
them honorary members of the
Naval air arm. Assistant Secretary
James H. Smith Jr. will make the
presentations.
The Neptune bomber crashed
on the rocky coast of St. Lawrence
Island. Throe members of the
crew were wounded by the Migs’
fire and four others were severely
burned when the plane exploded
upon landing.
Within 20 minutes of the crash,
Walunga had organized a National
Guard rescue party and a boat op
erated by Iknokinok had arrived
at the scene.
Other boats followed with med
ical supplies and stretchers, and
the crew members were removed
by boat to Gambell for further
emergency treatment before being
flown to the Alaska mainland.
Iknokinok said the highlight of
this trip so far was a visit with

his first trip to the U.S. so much
that he was not too worried about
getting back home in time for the
trapping season starting Dec. 1.

Walunga said he has served in
Army camps in the U.S. and was
