Women Doubled
Lead Over Men
In Last Six Years
WASHINGTON, UV-W omen
have more than doubled their
numerical lead over men in this
country in the last six years.
The Census Bureau estimated
yesterday that females now out
number males by 1,381,000, com
pared with 600,000 in 1950. There
was a time, back in the 1940s,
when there were more men than
women, but the proportion of men
has been dropping steadily since
1910, the bureau said.
It gave two principal reasons—
the mortality rate for men is high
there are more women than men
er, and as immigration declines
coming to this country to live.
Under 24 years of age there still
are more males than females, but
the women take over at that point
and become more numerous in
the higher age groups.
King Salmon Village
Famous to Philatelists
From Special Stamp Sale
KING SALMON UPV—This small
post office on Bristol Bay has be
come famous in philatelic circles
as a result of the king salmon
stamp.
Altho Seattle was designated by
the Post Office Department as the
only city where the stamps com
memorating wild life conserva
tion would be sold on the first
day of issue, a limited number of
“first day covers” were mailed
and postmarked on the same day
at the post office here, thanks to
air transportation.
Pacific Northern Airlines had a
representative at the Seattle Post
Office when the stamp window
opened early in the morning of
Nov. 9, the date the king salmon
stamps were put on sale.
The stamps were rushed to An
chorage, then to King Salmon.
Less than ten hours after they
went on sale in Seattle the stamps
were delivered in King Salmon,
placed on specially marked en
velopes, and hustled to the local
post office, where they were can
celled on the same day as the or
iginal issue in Seattle, some 1800
miles away.
The first-day covers included a
photo of the largest king salmon
ever caught on sports tackle, and
a note describing how Peter Tom,
75-year-old Tlinget Indian, boated
it near Juneau last summer.
Postal authorities today report
first day sales on the new stamp
reached $21,028.
Cancellations numbered about
250,000 “covers” (stamped envel
opes) as the stamp collectors had
their day.
October Weather in Nome
October brought an early winter
to Nome this year, with snowfall
the greatest since 1946 and the
third greatest on record.
The freeze-up of the Snake
River occurred during the month,
and by the end of October all
barges, tugs, etc., had been
beached for the winter.

Defiant Hungarians Carry On
Passive Protest of Red Occupation
VIENNA, tif>—The Hungarians
carried on a gigantic passive pro
test today against the theft of
their freedom, ignoring cold,
hunger, and the massed might of
the Russian army.
Only a handful of bitter-end
rebels still fought on against the
tanks and guns of 200,000 Soviet
troops. But the destruction of
their homes and defeat of those
who sought to fight off the invad
ers with meager arms failed to
stem Hungarian defiance of the
Soviets and their puppet govern
ment.
The nation clung grimly to a
general strike. Alternate back-to
work pleas and threats from the
Soviet-imposed regime of Premier
Janos Kadar were ignored.
Usually reliable quarters in Bu
dapest reported that a delegation
of top Soviet officials headed by
Communist Party Secretary Niki
ta Khrushchev was in the Hun
garian capital seeking a means to
end the resistance and shore up
Kadar’s regime.
Most Hungarians refused to ac
cept the Kadar regime because it
was installed by Russian tanks.

Reports from Budapest told of
hundreds of thousands wandering
aimlessly thru the ruins of a once
beautiful city, stolidly ignoring
the masses of Soviet armor and
troops standing guard every few
hundred yards.
Associated Press correspondent
Endre Marton said leaflets were
passed out in the streets exhorting
the population:
“Do not work under the com
mand of the occupiers and the
illegal usurping government. We
shall ration our supplies and help
each other, but we shall continue
to strike. Let us show that in the
fateful hours our nation is united.
“Our liberty and our honor are
at stake . . . The eyes of the whole
world are on us. We shall not re
treat.”
The leaflets, signed by “the
Hungarian youth which goes on
fighting,” called for withdrawal
of alien forces from Hungary and
the return of the Imre Nagy gov
ernment that had acceded to the
rebel demands for freedom at the
outset of the revolt.
