Eisenhower Wins
Percent Of Vote
In Indiana Primary
By the Associated Pbess
Democratic leaders have fired
new broadsides at the Republican
administration as a clean-up of
returns showed President Eisen
hower received 58 per cent of the
total vote in Tuesday’s Indiana
Primary.
In Los Angeles, Adlai Steven
son said Wednesday night the
Eisenhower administration is fail
ing to cope with social problems
and is “devoting a smaller per
centage of our national income
for our social welfare • than we
were in 1952 — or than we were
20 years ago.’’
Stevenson, campaigning for Cal
ifornia’s 68 votes at the Demo
cratic presidential nominating
convention, advocated broadened
federal aid programs in the edu
cation, medical care and old age
benefits fields.
At Oxnard, Calif., Sen. Estes
Kefauver, who is opposing Ste
venson in the June 5 California
primary, told a crowd in the town
plaza that “if the administration
continues in office the control of
our country is going to be more
and more in the hands of fewer
and fewer people.”
"When it comes to giving some
thing away,” Kefauver said, “the
present administration can show
remarkable agreement, but when
it comes to doing something for
the little people they just never
get around to it.”
In a New York speech Wednes
day night, former President Tru
man indicated in somewhat
roundabout fashion, he believes
Rep; olican foreign policy chiefs
have been “taken in” by Russia’s i
avowals of peaceful intentions.
Presenting the Four Freedoms
Award to Gov. Averell Harriman
of New York, Truman recalled
that Harriman, a former ambas
sador to Russia, warned 11 years
ago the Soviets were planning to
undermine peace.
And, said Truman, Harriman
“is not taken in today, as so many
of our leaders seem to be, by the
smile on the face of the Kremlin.”
Truman has declared himself
uncommitted to any candidate for
the Democratic presidential nom
ination. But he had warm praise
for Harriman, who describes him
self as an “inactive” candidate.

Threatened by
Spring Floods
(By the Associated Press)
Spring floods threatened large
areas of southwestern Alaska to
day. Rivers with critical spots in
cluded the Kuskokwim, Nusha
guk and Yukon.
A huge ice jam in the Yukon j
sent muddy waters over the vil
lage of Fort Yukon, 180 miles
north of Fairbanks.
The Air Force was trying to
break the jam with bombs today.
Another bombing mission was
scheduled to be tried on an ice
jam on the Kuskokwim. Water,
backed up by that jam threatened \
to flood the village of Aniak.
An attempt to bomb a jam on
the Nushagak near Ekwok failed
yesterday when the blades of a
helicopter carrying demolition ex
perts iced up.
A number of villages, including
Tulisak and Akiak, were reported
running short of food and fuel.
Residents of the tiny village of
Ekwok on the Kuskokwim report
ed that 25 persons had contracted j
measles and two others had pneu- !
monia following minor flooding |
earlier this week.

WASHINGTON, OW—Big game
hunters would have a new target
if Congress approves a pending
l bill to permit non-natives to go
after Alaska’s big bull walruses.
The mounted head, with 50
pounds of ivory tusk extending as
much as 30 inches, would make a
handsome addition to any trophy
room.
Introduced by Delegate Bartlett,
the proposal cleared its initial
legislative hurdle Wednesday as
it was approved by the House Ter
ritories subcommittee. It is also
backed by the Interior Depart
ment as a means of improving the
native economy. ,
The big bulls, weighing up to
2,000 pounds each, are found in
the summer as far south as Bris
tol Bay but are generally in the
northern Bering Sea or the Arctic
Ocean. They are hunted on the
ice floes or in the water from skin
boats.
The bill would not open the way
for any wholesale slaughter. It
provides for the Secretary of the
Interior to keep hunting at a level
which would not endanger the use
of walrus as a native food.
Individual hunters would be re
stricted to one bull a year, »nd
Ralph Baker, assistant chief of the
Fish and Wildlife Service’s Alaska
fisheries branch, believes the
maximum kill by non-natives
would be not more than several
hundred a year.
Hunters also would be required
to have a native guide, thereby
increasing the native’s cash sup
ply. Hunting from airplanes or
helicopters would be prohibited.
Because the animals are polyg
amous, the department does not
think that limited hunting of the
bulls would imperil the walrus
population, which it estimates at
about 15,000.
Another section of the _ bill
would authorize regulations to
permit the natives to export skins
of walruses killed for food. Bart
lett said a Portland, Ore., firm—
Howard Supply Co.—now imports
skins from Greenland and agreed
to take all it can get as buffing
material to polish silver.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
The satellite closest to Jupiter
is a very swiftly moving satellite,
traveling completely around its
orbit in one day 18 hours and 28
minutes. This means that it must
move at the tremendous speed of
320 miles a minute.
Our moon takes 27 V& days or
nearly a month to travel around
the earth in an orbit of almost
the same size. That is because the
attractive force of our earth is
so much less than the attractive
force of Jupiter. Our moon does
not have to travel so fast in order
to keep from being pulled down
onto the earth.
The period of rotation of t^ie
second satellite of Jupiter is* 3
days, 13 hours and 14 minutes.
The third moon makes the circuit
in 7 days, 3 hours and 43 minutes
while the fourth moon makes it in
16 days, 16 hours and 32 minutes.
In 1892 Professor Barnard dis
covered through the Lick tele
scope a moon closer to Jupiter
than the four original ones. It is
only 30 miles in diameter.
