REALISTIC!
STOCKTON, Calif., UPI — The
volcano was belching smoke on
the screen at the Ritz Theater in
a showing of “Masters of The
Congo Jungle.”
Then flames flickered up from
the crater, destroyed the screen
and burned a hole in the roof.

his projectionist was fooled.
When the fire Friday became
unmistakably real, the small af
ternoon crowd left without panic.
Krauss estimated the damage
at $10,000.
Two Americans
Among 28 Killed in
Australian Crash
BRISBANE, Australia, UK —
Two Americans were among 28
persons killed in the crash of an
Australia airliner Friday night in
a fog off the port city of Mackay,
North Queensland.
The body of John F. O’Grady,
U. S. Consul in Brisbane, was
among seven recovered by search
boats. Vincent Nicholas Bissen
of Boston, Mass., was the second
American victim.
The Trans-Australian airliner
was circling over Mackay, wait
ing for the weather to clear.
When the call came from the air
port to land there was no re
sponse. The plane was on a 500
mile flight from Brisbane to
Mackay along the east coast of
Australia. Among the passengers
were nine school children going
home for a holiday.
Aviation experts said the alti
meter on the twin-engine Fokker
Friendship probably failed and
the plane hit the sea before the
pilot saw the water in the fog.
Bodies and wreckage were
found scattered over a wide area
about four miles off Mackay.

Nome, Alaska
Eisenhower . . .
(Continued from Page One)
security plans are being beefed
up and call now for deployment
of 25,000 police — 10,000 more
than originally planned.
On arrival in Anchorage yester
day for his first visit to Alaska
in 14 years, Eisenhower was ap
plauded and cheered at the air
port by a crowd of about 4,000
persons. An estimated 30,000
others turned out on a tour
through the city of about 47,000
population.
At the airport in sunny 56 de
gree temperature, Alaska’s Dem
ocratic Governor William Egan
told the President the prayers of
the nation accompany him on his
risky journey to the Far East.
In his brief remarks Eisenhow
er made no mention of the pos
sible danger ahead. He called the
49th State no longer an Arctic
frontier but a bridge to Asia and
a demonstration of “what free
men and women can accomplish.”
The President patted two small
Eskimo girls on the head a mo
ment before they handed bouquets
of red roses to th"e pretty wife of
his son.
In downtown Anchorage the
President spent about a half hour
touring a wildlife exhibit. With a
grin, he told there of how as a
boy he trapped muskrats for 11
cents a pelt and minks for $1.50.
“But I only got a couple of
minks a year,” he recalled.
Eskimo Dancers Please Ike
On the sidewalk outside the
museum, two Eskimo women
wearing fur parkas perspired in
the sun as they danced to native
drums. They told the. pleased
President one of the dances was
called:
“So long, you’ll have a nice
trip.”
In his statement on departure
from Washington, Eisenhower
said he had decided to go ahead
with the Tokyo visit:
“So that I can continue to learn
more about the immediate prob
lems and purposes of our friends,
and to continue to promote a bet
ter understanding of America
abroad — which, particularly in
the circumstances of the moment
— is a compelling responsiblity
on me as President of the United
States.
“If the trip now ahead of me
were concerned principally with
the suport of a regime or a dis
puted policy; if it were intended
merely to bolster a particular pro
gram, or to achieve a limited ob
jective, such a journey would
have no real justification. But
this trip is not so concerned, nor
so intended.”
What Eisenhower did not say in
so many words was that cancel
lation of his Tokyo visit would
risk worldwide loss of prestige
for the United States. It also
would hand the Communists a
huge propaganda victory.
The President said he was going
to Japan because “we have just
completed our first century of
relations and we can now so plan
and order our partnership that
through the new century ahead
we may work together for the
prosperity and peace of the en
tire world.”
Paul Glavinovich, son of Carl
Glavinovich of Nome, leaves soon
for Ft. Lewis, Wash., for special
training in ROTC. Paul enjoyed
a short vacation here with his
father since the University of
Alaska ended its season. He will
be a senior at the University next
year.
