Nixon Warns GOP
Not Strong Enough
To Elect President
LOS ANGELES, (tf) — Vice
President Richard M. Nixon has
bluntly warned members of his
party that the GOP won in 1952
only because of its strong candi
date, adding: “The Republican
party today is not strong enough
to elect a President.”
These outspoken views of the
political situation were given by
Nixon when he talked to 2,500
fellow Southern California Re
publicans during one of three
speeches here yesterday. The
young Vice President said that
at the behest of President Eisen
hower he was urging party work
ers “to do a big job this year
and next.”
The Vice President called on
GOP workers to build a majority
party in 1956.
The Vice President gave these
views on President Eisenhower’s
political thinking:
“The current situation is one
the President feels we should
remedy and that’s why he’s tak
ing hold of the Republican lead
ership at this time. He believes
it’s his responsibility to build the
party so its strength will be as
strong as that of the President
himself.”
Air Force Reveals
Latest Weapon,
Missile with Brain j
WASHINGTON, (*i — The Air
Force Thursday described the
Falcon, its newest guided missile,
as “the only air-to-air missile with
a brain of its own.
Removing some of the secrecy
wrappings from the weapon de
signed to seek out and drop
enemy bombers, the Air Force
said it is the first line of defense
against air attack.
This latest and smallest Ameri
can missile is already in produc
tion and will soon be supplied as
fighting armament to all-weather
I fighter-interceptor jet units sta
tioned in the Arctic and at other
posts around the- approaches to
the North American continent.
The Navy already has in use
the Sparrow missile, also for
launching from fighter craft
against enemy planes. One ver
sion has a built-in guidance sys
tem that uses some of the fea
tures incorporated in the Falcon,
but the Air Force said its missile
contains guidance refinements
and improvements that place it
as of now in a class by itself.
The Falcon was conceived by
the Air Force in 1947 and devel
oped and produced by the
Hughes Aircraft Co. at Culver
City, Calif., and Tucson, Ariz.

Bush Pilot Rescues Crippled Woman,
Isolated Since Her Trapper Husband
Failed To Come Home In November
| Sailors Union of Pacific
! Steps Up Its Campaign
Against Foreign Shipping
SAN FRANCISCO, UR— Harry
Lundeberg says his AFL Sailors
Union of the Pacific will cut the
size of ship crews and reduce the
amount of take-home pay to step
up their campaign against for
eign flag shipping.
The purpose is to reduce the
operating cost for American reg
istered ships so they can compete
with foreign ships that have
lower rates of pay.
In doing this Lundeberg said
his union will furnish ships with
entire crews—from master to en
gineroom wiper. That could touch
off a dispute with other maritime
unions who charge that their
jurisdictions are being raided and
that Lundeberg is only trying to
enlarge his union.
Lundeberg said additional jobs
tor seamen are his only concern.
“I’m going to fight these for
eign ships that come into our
harbors and take the cargoes that
Americans ships and American
crews should be working,”
Lundeberg said yesterday.
The principal targets would be
American owned ships that are
registered outside of the country
in dummy corporations and oper
ated with foreign crews at lower
pay rates to compete with U.S.
ships operated under American
standards.
Lundeberg has already put one
ship to sea from Los Angeles, the
Tonsina, with a crew reduced by
seven and restrictions on over
time pay. He said these changes
make it possible for the ship to
get a cargo that would have been
consigned to a foreign bottom.
On a national basis, foreign
ships carry more than 75 per
cent of all dry goods shipped from
the United States.
Heintzleman Sends Names
Five Department Heads
In For Confirmation
JUNEAU, UR —Gov. Heintzle
man sent the names of five de
partment heads and seven board
members to the legislature for
confirmation yesterday.
They were added to a long list
of appointees on whom the legis
lature must act in joint session
before the adjournment on March
24 or early March 25. There is
no indication of much controver
sy over them.
The administrative heads whose
names were submitted, with some
of the appointments going back
as far as 1952, were:
William A. Chipperfield, land
commissioner; Karl F. Dewey, tax
commissioner; Harold E. Pome
roy, Civil Defense director; James
E. Wilson, commissioner of agri
culture, and Phil Holdsworth,

»> FAIRBANKS, l£l—An appoint
ment a bush pilot made a year
j ago brought to light Wednesday
i the plight of a crippled woman
j marooned alone in a remote trap
i per's cabin for three months.
Bush Pilot Bob Byers last
spring flew to a remote cabin on
the Peace River, 70 air miles
northeast of here and delivered
trapper John Lynden, 55, and his
wife to their home.
He promised to return this
j spring, as he had been doing each
spring for years, to fly the Lvn
dens from their isolated cabin to
Fairbanks where they sold Lyn
den’s furs and bought supplies.
After each trip Byers flew the
aged couple back to their home.
Arriving at the Lynden cabin
Wednesday morning, Byers found
only Lynden’s wife, Maggie. The
only food in the house was flour
and sugar.
Mrs. Lynden, flown here, told
authorities her husband left the
cabin last November to hike to a
small mine which he sometimes
operated. It was seven miles from
the cabin. He never returned.
Mrs. Lynden said she searched
for her husband in vain and her
food supply quickly dwindled.
Because of an ailment which has
cost her the use of one arm she
was unable to hunt for moose or
caribou for food.
She said she scanned the skies
constantly for an airplane so she
could signal for help but none
flew over the remote region.
The batteries of her radio, she
said, went dead last month and
since that time she has been com
pletely out of contact with civil
ization.
Deep snows and howling winter
storms, she said made it impos
sible for her to attempt to hike
to Fairbanks.
