Japan Faces
Giving Up Claim
To South Kuriles
TOKYO —Chief Japanese ne
gotiator Shunichi Matsumoto said
yesterday Japan must give up all
claim to the southern Kurile Is
lands or face a complete break
off of its Allied World War II
peace talks with Russia.
“There is no third road,” Mat
sumoto said in an interview in the
Nippon Times, English language
paper read by most diplomats in
Tokyo.
His statement was taken as fur
ther evidence of the dilemma on
Soviet policy confronting Japan’s
Conservative government—a situ
ation some observers feel may re
sult in Matsumoto replacing pro
American Foreign Minister Mam
oru Shigemitsu.
So far, the government, led by
Shigemitsu, has insisted that the
southern Kuriles—given to Russia
by the Allies at the Yalta confer
ence—should be returned to Ja
pan or disposed of by an interna
tional conference.
This demand by Japan brought
an indefinite recess in Matsumo
to’s talks with Russia’s Malik in
London last March.
There have been increasing hints
that Prime Minister Ichiro Yato
yama, under growing pressure
from fishing interests who want
normal relations with Russia,
might relax the demand. The spec
ulation is that Shigemitsu would
be forced to resign with such a
development.

Duck With Bandage
Mystifies Main Street
WOBURN, Mass., (jW—The mys
tery of a duck with a plaster ban
dage abdve its left eye waddling
down Main Street’s business sec
tion has been cleared up by an
11-year-old boy.
The boy, Domenic De Lorenzo,
went fishing Wednesday at a pond
nearby. The duck swam up with
a gash over its eye. Domenic ran
home and came back with a plas
ter bandage to patch the wound.
Gratefully, the duck followed
Domenic home. Next day the duck
flew the coop for a brief look at
the city sights. When amazed pe
destrians tried to capture him,
the duck took wing.
Now all that’s left is for his
feathered friends to figure out
how come a duck with a plaster
patch over its eye.
Aerialist’s Husband
Saves Her From Fall As
Trapeze Pole Snaps
WASHINGTON, —A swaying
pole snapped like a pistol-like
crack last night, plunging aerialist
Elisabeth Nocks, 21, toward the
tanbark 55 feet below in the Ring
ling Brothers, Bamum & Bailey
Circus.
Her husband, Joseph, 24, who
was swinging on the top of an
other swaying pole, snatched at
her arms.
He caught her.
Both slid safely down his pole
to the ground.
Mrs. Nocks performed a similar
rescue for her husband in New
York earlier this season when his
pole snapped as they presented
their act.

j Excursionists
Enjoy Flight to
St. Lawrence Is.
An interesting excursion flight
was made to Gambell, St. Law
rence Island by DC-3 yesterday.
The plane left here about 10 a.m.
and returned at 8:30 last evening.
Those who took the flight were
particularly impressed by the
cleanliness of the people and vil
lage and the beaches although
they had not had their spring
cleanup yet.
Much ice was seen between
here and the island and some
walrus were sighted. The weather
was rather cold with the tempera
ture about 35 with a wind blow
ing.
The excursionists enjoyed a
church service in the morning and
lunch and Eskimo dances in the
afternoon at the school house.
Another excursion is planned
for next weekend to Unalakleet.
These trips should prove increas
ingly popular and should be re
peated periodically during the
summer. About 24 made the trip
to Gambell.

acter and corrects the bad.
