Returned Austrian
Says Soviets Hold
Several Americans
VIENNA, Uf)—An Austrian doc
tor who returned home Saturday
from long imprisonment in the
Soviet Union said he knows the
names of several Americans and
Britons held in Russian slave
labor camps. But he didn’t want
to give his name, or those of the
Americans until he talks to Amer
ican and British authorities in one
of Austria’s western zones.
The doctor returned in a group
of 250 Austrian war prisoners.
They were the first to be released
by the Soviets since the conclu
sion of the Austrian state treaty
last month. The Soviets have
promised to release all Austrians
still held in the Soviet Union
within the next few months.
The doctor said some of the
Americans and Britons he met in
the Soviet camps were women.
Most were abducted by the So
viets from Berlin and Vienna after
World War II, he added.
White Death Rate
From TB in Alaska
Less Than in States
Tuberculosis in non-native Al
askans is not much of a problem.
The white death rate is lower
than for that of the continental
United States, and continues to
fall.
That’s what Dr. Charles R.
Hayman of the Territorial De
partment of Health, Juneau, told
a symposium on tuberculosis last
week at the Sixth Altskan Science
Conference at the University of
Alaska.
He stated that the number of
non-native cases needing hospit
alization is falling continuously.
The present needs for the non
natives are particularly for more
casefinding, such as an intensifi
cation of tuberculin testing, es
pecially for those non-natives who
live in heavily infected native
areas, and as a continuous school
program.
Indian Chief Model
Has Run-in With Law
SYRACUSE, N.Y., (JV-John
Big Tree, the Onondaga Indian
chief whose nose adorns the nick
el, is in trouble with the law.
Chief Big Tree was charged
Friday with driving while intoxi
cated. Police said it was the first
time the 79-year-old chief had
! been arrested.
The Indian head on the nickel
is a composite, patterned after
models chosen from various tribes
throughout the nation. Big Tree
also has modeled for the head that
appears on Pontiac automobiles
and has appeared in the movies.
He was held in lieu of $250 cash
or $500 property bail.

WASHINGTON, WP)—Sen. Jack
son (D-Wash) urged today a speed
up in U.S. production of super
sonic jet fighters and the radar
aircraft detection network around
this hemisphere.
“If we are going to remain
ahead of the alarming progress of
Russian air power, we must act
now,” Jackson, a member of the
Senate Armed Services Commit
tee, said in an interview.
Jackson is one of several Dem
ocratic senators who demanded a
jump in U.S. production of B-52
heavy jet bombers prior to a Pen
tagon decision to increase this by
35 percent.
“It is a fact that Soviet Russia
now has more jet fighters than
this country,” Jackson said. “I’m
not saying what kind of jets they
are, but it also is known some of
ours are not very effective in the
high altitudes used by interconti
nental jet bombers.”
Sen. Russell (D-Ga) said in a
speech here Friday night that “we
have consistently underestimated
the technical abilities of the So
viet Union.” He also said the
arms race between the U.S. and
Russia “now may have reached a
stage where development of an
intercontinental ballistics missile
may very largely determine who
will maintain supremacy.”
Jackson told Air Force officers
at an armed services hearing Fri
day that he fears the time re
quired to build the aircraft detec
tion network “may make it obso
lete by the time the last radar
station is completed.”
They had said that a second
year phase of a four-year con
struction program would be un
dertaken in the fiscal year that
begins July 1.
Unless the administration an
nounces an increase in its pro
duction plans for supersonic fight
er aircraft, Jackson said he may
offer an amendment to the 31 bil
lion dollar defense appropriation
bill to accomplish this.
“I’m certain the people of this
country will support any program
vital to their defense,” he said.
“All we need to do is tell them
the truth.”
Air Force officials told the com
mittee Friday that the faster pro
duction and delivery of B-52s will
require an extra $36 billion in the
next year to improve 11 bases for
heavy bombers of the Strategic
Air Command.
Omaha Policemen Help
Parish Priest Obtain
Churchbell for Chippewas
OMAHA, \X)—The “bell for Pat
uanak” wore a brassy luster and
sported a new clapper today.
It once signaled the approach
of a locomotive. But before long it
will sound the hour of worship
for the Chippewa Indians in the
remote village of Patuanak on
Primeau Lake in northern Sas
katchewan.
The parish priest, the Rev. Lou
is Moraud, told five Omaha po
licemen on a fishing trip of his
wish for a bell '“not too small and
not too big.”
With the help of Omaha Police
Chief Harry Green they obtained
the bell from the Union Pacific
Railroad. It was removed from an
old locomotive at Cheyenne, Wyo
ming, and shipped to Omaha.
