U.S. and France Discuss
Placing Invasion of Laos
Before United Nations
WASHINGTON, UP) — U.S. offi
cials refused Thursday to accept
as final a decision 'by France to
oppose placing the Communist in
vasion of Laos before the United
Nations.
The French stand was outlined
to American Ambassador Douglas
Dillon in Paris Sunday night, and
disclosed in the French capital
Thursday.
The disclosure followed a state
ment by Secretary of State Dulles
in testimony to a congressional
committee Wednesday that this
country was exchanging views
with France, Laos, Viet Nam and
Thailand on the question of tak
ing the case to the U.N.
Responsible officials said pri
vately ihat they were certain.the
United States would ask the gov
ernment of France to reconsider
its opposition. As one reason for
that belief, they pointed out indi
cations that Thailand may make
the U.N. effort on its own because
the Laos aggression is a threat
to Thailand.

SCHOOL NEWS
Third Grade
Ethel Ailak left our class last
month and is now at the Chil
dren’s Home at' Fairbanks. Many
of us wrote a letter to her.
We have received many letters
from children in far-away towns
in answer to letters we sent out
earlier in the year. Some of the
letters contained pictures of inter
esting things near the homes of
these children.
Multiplication has proved to be
an interesting part of our arith
metic as we compete with one
another in learning the various
tables.
Our final spelling contest with
the other third grade class was
won by Ronald Tingook.
Children having a perfect at
tendance for the last six weeks
period were: Carol Carlson, Gerry
Cavota, Roy Dimmick, Alfred
Moses, Linda Ray, Susie Savok,
Cora Senungnetuk, Pauline Sir
loak, Ronald Tingook and Arlene
Ahwinona.
Fourth Grade
Much of our work of late has
been intensive review, in the hope
that some of the important facts
will b<j retained.
As a special project in geogra
phy, the fourth graders have been
requested to write a theme on the
country they are especially inter
ested in. Some of the youngsters
have done a considerable^amount
of outside reading for this assign
ment.
Another project which been of
interest to them is completing a
booklet on Alaska. This booklet
contains a detailed map of Alaska,
a little about the history and facts
about the various industries.
Throughout the year the chil
dren have eagerly looked forward
to the days when Mrs. Kearns
teaches singing. They all have
thoroughly enjoyed participating
in the operetta “Tom Sawyer.”
Todate, Maggie Panek, Rodney
Boucher and Percy Outwater have
been neither absent nor tardy.
The fact that they are all on the
honor roll should prove that there
is a definite correlation between
perfect attendance and scholar
ship.
High School
Mr. Angell, superintendent of
schools, returned Wednesday after
a brief absence in the States.
Tuesday afternoon the high
school students were entertained
by Mr. James Walsh, with a talk
and colored slides on his recent
trip to Ireland.
The annual Junior-SenioT Prom
will be held on the 16th of this
month and has the Juniors busy
preparing for the big event. Dec
orations for the dance have ar
rived and arrangements are being
made for a band.
Because of excellent playing
weather, a groat deal of interest
has 'been worked up in softball.
A high school, alumni, and fac
ulty team may be organized and
a league started if enough teams
are created. In gym class a final
basketball game between the
“has-beens” who are the gradu
ating seniors, and the “never will
be’s,” which consists mainly of
prospects for next year’s team, is
scheduled for Friday afternoon.

ATA Accused Of
Waging Alaskan
4Fear Campaign’
WASHINGTON, UFi — A non
scheduled airline was accused by
a competitor Wednesday of wag
ing a “fear campaign” in Alaska
in an effort to remain in business.
Arthur G. Woodley, president
of Pacific Northern Airlines of
Anchorage, charged that the “non
sched” Air Transport Associates
was trying to instill fear among
Alaskans that air travel rates will
increase if ATA drops out of the
picture.
Two other airline presidents—
W. A. Patterson of United and
T. H. Davis of Piedmont — also
testified against non - scheduled
airline operations at a hearing of
a Senate Small Business sub
committee.
Patterson said that if the ir
regulars have a place in air trans
portation, it should be as bona
fide contract and charter opera
tors. And Davis declared that the
percentage of air traffic carried
by ncn-scheduled lines is so small
it could be absorbed by the sched
uled carriers “with very little, it
any, expansion.”
Pacific Northern is a scheduled
airline which long has apposed
the competition of ATA over its
routes between Alaska and the
Pacific Northwest.
Woodley took issue with an ob
servation by Sen. Thye (R-Minn),
subcommittee chairman, that ATA
seemed to have an excellent op
erating record.
Woodley said ATA had sub
mitted “fundamentally fallacious”
testimony in claiming a record of
flying 75,000 passengers 125,000
000 passenger miles without an
injury. He said ATA later low
ered the total to 55,000 carried
since 1948.
-------
> PANMUNJOM, UH — The Com
munists Thursday offered a new
compromise plan to break the
Korean truce deadlock, bowing to
Allied insistence that no' prisoners
of war who refuse to go home be
taken out of Korea.
The eight-point Red plan also
proposed a five-nation neutral
commission as caretaker for the
48,000 Red prisoners who refuse
to go back to Communism. Both
sides previously have suggested
one nation for that job.
The new proposal was'a rever
sal of the Reds’ earlier demand
that these prisoners b'e sent bodily
to the neutral country.
Even though the Reds made it*
clear the Allies must accept all or
nothing, this appeared to be the
first major break since the truce
talks reopened April 26 in an ef
fort to agree on exchange o‘f pris
oners, last major barrier to an
armistice.
Lt. Gen. William K. Harrison,
chief Allied delegate, said: “This
is an important proposal . . . that
merits careful and considerable
thought. Our major decisions must
be made by the governments
themselves.”
The next meeting is scheduled
for Saturday.
The Red plan contains two con
cessions to Allied demands:
1. A five-nation neutral repa
triation commission to take cus
tody—in Korea—of the Reds who
won’t go home. The Reds suggest
ed Sweden, Switzerland, Poland,
Czechoslavakia and India.
2. A total of four or six months
rather than nine for those prison
ers to hear Red explanations and
perhaps decide to go home. At
the end of that time, the future
of those remaining would be de
cided by a political conference of
warring nations, -as the Reds have
demanded.
