CAB Official Recommends
BOAC Polar Flight
WASHINGTON, UP\ — A Civil
Aeronautics Board hearing exam
iner recommended today that
British Overseas Airways Corp.
be granted a permit to fly between
London and Los Angeles over a
Polar route. The line could also
perform off-route charter service.
Examiner Curtis Henderson re
ported to the board there is a
definite need for the service. He
said an existing agreement with
Britain provides for the route.
Henderson said BOAC proposes
to operate over Gander and Fro
bisher Bay subject to such varia
tions as weather may require.
BOAC would use Boeing 707
420 planes powered with Rolls
Royce engines on an initial twice
weekly schedule.

Fraser River Sockeye
Catch Exceeds Record
VANCOUVER, B. C., (*> — A
record sockeye cycle year catch
of 3,390,000 fish on the Fraser
River was reported here yesterday
by the International Pacific Sal
mon Fisheries Commission.
The catch was 46 per cent great
er than the previous high.
An escapement of 970,000 fish
was about 300 per cent over the
previous cycle year of 1955 and
considerably greater than any year
of the current four-year cycle.
Senator Tom Reed, chairman of
the commission, said the record
catch was proof the Fraser was
rapidly being restored to abun
dant levels.
Phillies Trade Chicago
MIAMI BEACH, Fla., UP) — The
Philadelphia Phillies yesterday
traded third baseman Gene Frese
to the Chicago White Sox for
outfielder Johnny Callison in an
inter-league deal.
This was the ninth trade com
pleted during the major-minor
baseball sessions.
Freese, 25, batted for the Phillies
last season. He hit 23 home runs
and drove in 70 runs. Callison,
only 20, is regarded as one of
the most promising sluggers of
the future. He opened the season
with the White Sox but was op
tioned to Indianapolis of the
American Association in early
June. In 1958 he led the American
Association in home runs.
Alaska Steam Will
Increase Mail
Boat Service
WASHINGTON, OR — Decision
of the Post Office Department to
improve postal service to Alaska
through increased sailings by
Alaska Steamship Co. drew praise
from Chairman Warren G. Magnu
son (D-Wash) of the Senate Inter
state and Foreign Commerce
Committee.
Magnuson, who had asked for j
improved Alaska mail service, j
was advised by Assistant Post
master George M. Moore that t
Alaska Steam had agreed to make j
122 annual sailings instead of the
usual 98, providing service en- j
compassing use of all available j
equipment of the steamship com- j
pany on a rapid turn around basis, j
Moore said one, two or three
sailings per week will be made
from Seattle to major gateways
to Southeastern Alaska and the
Seward Southwestern Alaska.
From southeastern ports of call, j
all mail will move by air to local j
points served by that office.
From the Seward gateway, the |
Alaska Railroad will have a train
ready to connect with each ship j
on arrival at Seward to move mail
to way points on rail lines. From
Anchorage and Fairbanks, all mail
will move by air to other Interior
points in Western Alaska.

HOW FALLOUT shelters would protect occu
pants after nuclear attack is shown in this
drawing of a modern American home. Fall
out—mostly tiny particles of matter charged
with radioactivity—is carried downwind from a
nuclear blast, and settles on the roof and grounds.
From these fallout particles, radiation rays
(arrow-like figures) shoot out which can pene
trate most substances. Enough rays can cause
radiation sickness to people without their
realizing it, since radiation cannot he detected
by the senses. But the materials of a fallout
shelter are dense enough to absorb most radia
tion and prevent it from reaching the occupants.
The Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization has
declared December 7 as National Civil Defense
Day to remind Americans that millions might
be saved after a nuclear attack by such rela
tively simple precautions. A booklet, on build
ing fallout shelters is available through civil
defense offices, or from Box Shelter, OCDM,
Battle Creek, Michigan.
DISASTER PATROL of suburban Mount
Vernon, N. Y., conducts a training exercise in
monitoring radioactive fallout. Hypothetical
fallout measurements from field instruments
are radioed or telephoned into C.D. centers for
plotting on city and county maps. These
trained monitors would be -the nation’s fallout
detection outposts after a nuclear attack. Na
tional Civil Defense Day on December 7 will
focus public attention on the importance of
family fallout shelter construction and con
tinuous training for both professional and
volunteer members of our radiological defense
system. (OCDM Photo)
Salmon Specimens from
Russia Arrive at Seattle
SEATTLE, UP) — American
fishermen pulled a switch today
when they looked with favor, in- i
stead of frowned, at the impor
tation of salmon, 300 specimens
of chum and red salmon taken
in Russian streams and estuaries.
The salmon, along with 75 fro
zen samples of blod taken from
Russian salmon, were landed by
the freighter Ocean Mail.
The fish and blood samples
were collected this year by Clin
ton E. Atkinson, chief of Pacific
salmon investigations for the U. S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, while !
on an official visit to the USSR.
U. S. scientists and - fisheries
officials say the salmon and,
blood samples may provide im
portant information in the study !
of North Pacific salmon.
Nehru Calls on Indians lo
Provide ‘Blood, Sweat and
Tears' to Fight Reds
NEW DELHI. India, UPI—Prime
Minister Nehru borrowed a
phrase from Winston Churchill
yesterday and called on his coun
try to meet the threat from Com
munist China with “austerity and
hardship, blood, sweat and tears
for everyone of us.”
He told the upper house of Par
liament “We must mobilize the
nation in arms. We must mentally
and physically be armed for the
fray.”
The Indian leader asked for en
dorsement of his foreign policies
in the border dispute with Com
munist China. The lower house
endorsed them two days ago.

‘Incorrigibles’ Flee
N. Carolina Prison
By REESE HART
IVY BLUFF, N. C., UP)—Twenty
of North Carolina’s worst crim
inals broke out of Ivy Bluff Pris
on — the state’s Alcatraz — yes
terday. They overpowered their
guards and escaped with an ar
senal of weapons.
A huge manhunt was underway
in North Carolina and southern
Virginia as the hardened convicts,
with a four-hour start before the
break was discovered, stole auto
mobiles near Yanceville, N. C.,
and apparently fanned out in a
variety of directions.
Ivy Bluff is considered the
state’s toughest prison. State pris
ons director William F. Bailey has
described the inmates as “incor
rigibles. hardened criminals —
the type you find in Alcatraz.”
The escaped men were reported
armed with a submachine gun,
rifles and pistols — 17 weapons
in all.
