British Sled Dogs Posing Problem
To United States In The Antarctic
British sled dogs seem to be
posing some problems for Uncle
Sapi in Antarctica. This informa
ti6n came to the University of
Alaska in the sub-Arctic from
one of its professors who’s doing
some glacial geology research in
Antarctica for the International
Geophysical Year.
Dr. Troy L. Pewe (Pay-way),
associate professor of geology sent
' his airmail letter from near Scott
Base.' The letter was dated Jan.
25, was received at College Feb.
10, and was stamped by Sir Ed
mund Hillary, who was acting as
postmaster at Scott Base.
Dr. Pewe explained that Hillary
started with dogs in his expedi
tion to the pole first. The dogs
were left at the Pole, but because
they were bought with pennies of
British school children they
couldn’t be killed.
Uncle Sam agreed to go to the
Pole and fly back the dogs. Six
planes already have been in
volved, but because of crashes
and bad weather the dogs hadn’t
been recovered by the time Dr.
Pewe wrote his letter.
The tractors Dr. Fuchs and his
party are using aren’t, as is gen
erally believed, special at all.
“The standard vehicle all of
the way is the ordinary farm
variety tractor with a chain ex
tending from front to back wheel
to form a track,” Dr. Pewe ex
plained.
He added that he and his assist
ant, Norman Rivard, have spent
all of their time on a true polar
desert which is windy and lacks
any vegetation or rain. Rivard is
a mining and geological engineer
ing student at the University of
Alaska.
Dr. Pewe is a little anxious to
return to the warmer Alaskan cli
mate because, while it’s summer
in Antarctica now, the tempera
ture is dropping io 17 degrees at
night and “I want to be away
from here when it gets down to
-102 like it did last winter.”

Judge Reluctantly
Frees Sitkan For
Child Stealing
J1UNEAU, UPt — A directed ver
' diet of acquittal has freed a
young Sitka man on trial in U.S.
; District Court here on an indict
! ment charging child stealing and
| assault.
The defendant, Thomas Lang,
was freed after Judge Raymond
J. Kelly ruled a confession could
not be admitted into evidence be
cause Lang had not been advised
of his constitutional rights.
Lang was accused of removing
a 22 - month - old girl from the
| home of her parents and hitting
; her in the face with his fists after
a party in Sitka early last Dec.
11. The child was found near her
home by a Search party several
hours later.
The judge said it was “sicken
ing to have to do it in a case of
this kind.” But he said there was
no testimony that police officers
j “at any time advised the defend
■ ant of his constitutional rights.”
As a result, the judge said, “I’m
going to have to exclude admis
sion of the confession.”
A jury of six men and six
women was excused for most of
the day while attorneys argued
whether the statement Lang
signed could be admitted.
U. S. Attorney Roger G. Con
nor said without the confession
the government could not put a
case before the jury. Defense at
torney Robert Ziegler of Ketchi
I kan moved for the directed ver
| diet and the motion was granted.

Nixon: Confidence
Needed to Cure
Ailing Economy
PHOENIX, Ariz., UP>—The Re
publican administration “will not
stand by and allow a recession
to continue or unemployment to
rise,” Vice President Nixon "said
here Friday night.
There is nothing wrong with
America’s economy that confid
ence won’t cure, Nixon told an
Arizona GOP rally. Rep. Martin
(R-Mass), appearing on the same I
program, echoed the theme.
Nixon said that as the 1958
congressional election campaign
approaches, opponents of the ad
ministration are sure to raise the
cry that “depression is just
around the corner.’
But he said five billion dollars
more in defense spending con
tracts will be let in (the early
months of 1958 than were let in
the last six months of 1957.
He also noted President Eisen
hower approved a two billion
dollar post office modernization
program, and that about two bil- j
lion dollars will go into the Fed- j
eral Highway program.
The Vice President added that j
if Congress acts promptly on leg-,
islation asked by the President,.
there will be a quarter of a mil- j
lion more housing starts this year j
than the 1,100,000 originally esti- ;
mated.
