Granddaughter Of •
William J. Bryan Thought
She Had Won Election
ALTADENA, Calif., (IB—Some
body pushed the wrong button on
a tabulating machine and for a
few short hours Mrs. Rudd
Brown, the granddaughter of Wil
liam Jennings Bryan, thought
she was a Congresswoman.
But in the gray dawn today
she was awakened by a reporter
and informed that because of a
10,000-vote counting error she is
still just Mrs. Brown, private
citizen, and her Republican rival,
veteran incumbent Representa
tive Edgar W. Hiestand, was re
elected in the 21st District.
“I’m disappointed, naturally,”
said Mrs. Brown with a yawn.
“But I knew it was possible, even
last night. I know there always
can be an error.”
It was suggested that she was
being quite philosophical about
the sudden switch in her political
fortunes and she responded with
a laugh: “For heaven’s sakes,
somebody loses.”
Mrs. Brown, an attractive 38
year-old brunette, is the wife of
Harrison Brown, a well-known
scientist. Her mother was the late
Ruth Bryan Owenrohde, who was
Congresswoman from Florida in
1928, and this nation’s first envoy,
appointed by President Roosevelt
in 1933 as Minister to Denmark.

Tokyo Conference May
Not Resolve Difficulties
Of Fishing Boundary
TOKYO, — There are strong
indications that the North Pacific
Fisheries Commission meeting will
close Monday without -drafting a
new fishing boundary. Such a
boundary would call for further
restrictions on Japanese salmon
fishing.
The feeling was expressed by
both American and Japanese offi
cials. They said more time was
needed to reach the agreement on
issue of the inter-mingling of sal
mon of North American and Asian
origin.
The United States reportedly
wants the 175 degree west longi
tude line moved 540 miles west
ward, prohibiting Japanese sal-^
mon fishing in an additional
468,000 square miles.
TTie U. S. reasoning is that
Japanese fishermen last year
hauled in an unusual quantity
of North American salmon which
had spawned in U. S. waters.
Delegates of the United States,
Canada and Japan have con
confirmed that intermingling of
North American and Asian origin
salmons exist. But informed
sources said that the United States
and Japan would not reach agree
ment on a new provisional line.

Asian Countries
To Build Airfields,
But Not Jets
SEATTLE, UP) — Jet air travel
across the Pacific by the spring
of 1960 will see the end of a
number of Asian national airlines
which cannot afford the luxuri
ous aircraft — nor meet its com
petition.
This was the opinion yesterday
of a number of Colombo Plan
officials from Ceylon and Indo
nesia, who took time off from
committee meetings to window
shop at the nearby Boeing Air
plane Co.’s vast Renton assembly
plant for jet transports.
It is here that several hundred
millon dollars worth of 707 jet
transports are on assembly line
production schedules.
A Ceylon delegate said: “Al
ready we are discussing the com
ing of jet planes to Asia. I think
it will lead some of our national
carriers to abandon international
flights.
The underdeveloped countries
cannot afford to buy the jet air
liners but we can afford to build
first class airports to accommo
date them.”
Salmon Fishing Conference
Continues Its Studies
TOKYO, <JPi — The four com
mittees of the North Pacific Fish
ing Conference continued their
studies on salmon fishing in the
Pacific Ocean in closed sessions.
They were the ad hoc commit
tee on protocol, the ad hoc com
mittee on abstention, the finance
and administration, and the bio
logy and research.
The committees were instructed
by the parent body, the Interna
tional North Pacific Fisheries
Commission, to prepare a report
before the Commission reopens
its plenary session Saturday.
The first plenary meeting was
held Tuesday, and went into a
recess for three days.
The delegates were to attend a
reception at the, American Em
bassy last night.

BreakUp Of Arctic IGY Ice Floe Was
Not A Surprise To U. S. Air Force
By C. R. ROSEBERRY
Written Especially for
The Associated Press
ALBANY, N. Y., UR — The
craek-up of a North Pole ice-cake
endangering 20 American airmen
and scientists adrift on freezing
water, was not exactly a surprise
to the Air Force. *
The Alaskan Air Command had
been fearful of such a disaster as
last Sunday overtook Station A,
an IGY science camp 300 miles
-from the North Pole and 960 miles
northeast of Point Barrow.
Ironically, it has happened
when the station had only a few
weeks left to round out the In
ternational Geophysical Year, a
goal for which the Air Force had
been keeping its finger crossed.
The 20 men have been living on
a mere cake of marine pack-ice,
vulnerable to breakup in any ca
price of Arctic weather.
Elaborate precautions were tak
en, in setting up the camp of hut
ments, for the survival of the men
in such an event, including life
rafts and emergency caches of
supplies at strategic points.
The IGY people pitched the
Alaskan Air Command a fast ball
in requesting its support of a
camp on an ice cake.
This is the first time in his
tory that the United States has
attempted a semi-permanent in
stallation on pack-ice and the
Air Force, aware of the dangers,
was a bit reluctant about it. So
viet Russia has been maintaining
such stations since 1950, and at
last reports had two in the same
vicinity as Station A.
The floe of Station A is not to
be confused with an ice-island,
like T-3. An ice-island, a freak
of the Arctic Ocean, is a massive
tabular iceberg of fresh-water ice
that has broken loose from the
north shore of Ellesmere Island.
T-3, or Fletcher’s Ice Land, is 150
feet thick, 45 square miles in ex
tent, and immune to breakup. The
IGY has a current camp on T-3,
Drifting Station B.
Once previously the station floe
has cracked. That was last April.
The breakup was gradual enough
that the men were able to move
the entire camp to an alternate
floe, a half-mile distant. Another
menace they have to confront is
polar bears. Last winter a couple
of bears ripped up the runway
lights when a cargo plane was on
its way to service the station.
The Rev. Thomas J. Cunning
ham, 52, weatherbeaten Jesuit
Missionary to the Eskimos at Point
Barrow, was among the marooned
group. Known throughout Alaska
as “Father Tom,” he ministers to
the “largest parish in the United
States” — all of Arctic Alaska.
