Comintern Dissolved
After Years of Little
Activity in Hungary
VIENNA, Austria, (JP>—'The dis- |
solution of the Cominform (Com
munist Information Bureau!, Mos
cow’s international agency for
Europe, was disclosed Tuesday by
the official Hungarian news agen
cy MTI.
The Cominform was established
in 1917. Its founding members
were the Communist Parties of
the U.S.S.R., Yugoslavia, Poland,
Hungary, Czechoslavakia, Roma
nia, Bulgaria, France and Italy.
Its original goal was destruction
of the Marshall Plan, but in 1948,
on Joseph Stalin’s orders, it
turned its wrath on Marshal ’Tito
and expelled the Yugoslavs.
No meeting of the organization
has been reported in years and
practically its sole activity was
publication of a newspaper in Bu
charest, the Cominform’s nominal
headquarters.
Behind the dissolution of the
agency, a successor of the old
Comintern, was the downgrading
of Stalin by the Soviet Commu
nist Party and the upgrading of
Tito in the Communist world.

Boosting Alaska
In Los Angeles
The proverbial “busy bird dog”
is a piker compared with the
busy-ness of two Alaskans in Los
Angeles these days. Beating the
drums to increase the Alaska visi
tor industry are Frank Whaley,
managing director of the Alaska
Visitors Association, and Asagood
(Chester! Seveck, retired Kotze
bue reindeer herder. Seveck had
arrived in Los Angeles on West
ern Air Lines, the first non
Alaska carrier to become a par
ticipating AVA member .
April 4 was a fairly full day,
Whaley writes. He and Chester
were at the Los Angeles TV sta
tion KTTV for a rehearsal at 6:45
a.m. They went on the live show
at 8 a.m. for an hour and 15 min
utes, most of which was devoted
to Alaska. They told of visitor
attractions all over Alaska. Se
veck showed others in the cast his
Eskimo native dances.
By 10 a.m. the two were at
Northrop Aircraft, Inc., and were
flown to Edwards Air Force
Base. With the temperature in the
high 90’s still pictures were made
and TV footage was taken. North
rop test pilots were in their high
altitude suits and Chester in his
native Eskimo clothing. The pilots
were showing him the intricacies
of the Northrop Scorpion.
The television film is being sent
as newsreel material to about 125
television stations in the United
States. The stills will be used
widely. Northrop is sending film
and stills to Alaska newspapers,
and TV stations.
At 3 p.m. Whaley and Seveck
were at Marineland of the Pacific
where still pictures were taken
for national release. They show
Seveck and a Hollywood person
ality watching seals and por
poises.

Says Canada Unprepared
For Thermo-Nuclear War
VANCOUVER, B.C., UP)—Lt. Gen.
Guy Simonds, former chief of
staff of the Canadian army, says
he believes Canada is unprepared
either for war or for preventing
war.
“There is no political leader in
this country wiho will face up to
the matter of organizing our na
tional manpower . . . We should
not merely copy the conscription
methods of the United States . . .
We must develop our own meth
ods of military service.”
“To a potential aggressor look
ing at our country we do not ap
pear to be alert and poised to deal
with thermo-nuclear attack. We
have m^de no effort to prepare
the people for the strategy of
massive retaliation with thermo
nuclear weapons.”

Britain Rejects Chilean
Protest Against Two
New Bases in Antarctica
LONDON, UP>—Britain has re
jected a Chilean protest against
the establishment of two new
antarctic bases west of Graham
land, a Foreign Office spokesman
said Tuesday.
A note to the Santiago govern
ment last week said Britain does
not accept Chilean claims to the
territory which are based on geo
graphical proximity and inheri
tance of old Spanish titles. The
spokesman said Britain repeated
an offer to submit the dispute on
ownership to the International
Court of Justice at The Hague.
