call, the ship’s medical officer
1 and three men were left ashore.
On board for medical and dental
treatment were 21 natives.
Among the patients was Mrs.
Lincoln Milligrock who, as it
j turned out, must have come
aboard for something more than
| the dental treatment that could be
| provided by the dental officer on
j hand at the time of sudden de
| parture.
| With the dentist and a hospital
, corpsman probably thanking their
lucky stars for the presence of
i midwife Thora Katchatag, Mrs.

COVENANT CHURCH GETS MISSION AT WALES
Wales Mission, which the Evangelical Covenant Church has taken Joshua Ahwinona, new Covenant
over from the Presbyterians in exchange for mission at Yukatat. Church Missionary at Wales.
The Evangelical Mission Cove
nant Church of Alaska will this
month take over the former Pres
byterian mission at Wales. The
“swap” of two Alaskan missions
was agreed upon this summer by
the two church groups involved.
The exchange of Yakatat for
Wales has been discussed for
many years, Rev. • Amundsen of
the Nome Mission Covenant
Church said Monday, and will be
mutually beneficial to both
groups.
Yakatat was one of the first
mission stations of the Covenant
Church in Alaska, but its location
in respect to the main field in
western Alaska was so remote it
was thought best to make some
adjustment. With this new ar
rangement the Covenant mission
is somewhat consolidated and the
members will have easy access to
the annual spring conferences.
Wales has been a Presbyterian
mission since 1919, when a medi
cal missionary from Barrow went
there in the great flu epidemic.
The mission had been established
earlier by the Congregationalists.
The first Covenant missionary
will be one well known to the
people of this area since he is a
native of the Fish River country.
Joshua Ahwinona, has been serv
ing as the only pastor on Nunivak
Island for the past four years. He
has been trained in the Mission
Bible School at Unalakleet and
formerly served the Koyuk Cove
nant Church.
Rev. Amundsen states that he is
ready to take Rev. and Mrs. Ah
winona to their new station in the
mission plane as soon as the
weather is favorable.
Russia Protests U.S.
Treatment of Former Spy
But Wants No Interview
WASHINGTON, UPI—Soviet Rus
sia has protested U.S. activities in
the defection of Yuri A. Rast
vorov, Soviet spy now in Ameri
can hands, State Department offi
cials disclosed Tuesday.
The protest was contained in a
note, delivered Monday night, de
nouncing American intelligence
agencies for allegedly committing
an act of violence against Rast
vorov, a top Far Eastern espio
nage agent for the Russians.
Its main point was a protest
that American agents, who per
suaded Rastvorov to defect in To
kyo last Jan. 24, allegedly violated
recognized standards of interna
tional law.
No'where in the note, however,
does Russian Ambassador Georgi
Zarubin indicate he will accept an
American invitation to talk to
Rastvorov whenever he desires.
Rastvorov was disclosed to be
in American hands some two
weeks ago. At a dramatic news
conference, he announced he had
deserted the Soviets because “I
wanted to live like a decent hu
man being.”
