Encampments
JUNEAU, Alaska National Guard
Headquarters — Dates for two
week training camps by men of
the Alaska National Guard were
announced today by Col. Larry
Johnson, head of both Army and
Air National Guard units.
Citizen-soldiers from Barrow to
Ketchikan will leave their jobs
and homes for two weeks of mili
tary indoctrination at camps thru
out Alaska. For some Guardsmen
it will be the third consecutive
annual camp, making their pro
gress to advanced company and
battalion-type defense tactics.
Early in June the Guard unit
at Fort Yukon completed the first
of the 1953 encampments. Dates
and locations of others, as an
nounced by Col. Johnson are:
Gambell and Savoonga units at
Gambell on St. Lawrence Island

St. Paul Island unit in the Prib
ilofs will camp on the island from
September 13 thru 27. The bal
ance of the First Scout Battalion
will camp at Ft. Richardson from
November 15 through 29.
Col. Johnson said the men en
camped at St. Lawrence Island
will live in huts, eat 5-in-l and
Trail Rations and devote much of
their training to patrolling and
small unit tactics. On St. Paul
Island the men of the Pribilofs
will live in five-man arctic tents.
Camp training schedules pre
pared by Lt. Col. D. W. Dean of
Alaska National Guard headquar
ters in Juneau will cover a wide
range of topics including military
courtesy, first aid, radio instruc
tion, marksmanship, patrolling
and observation, field fortifica
tions, map and aerial photo read
ing, intelligence reporting and
tactics.
Guardsmen attend 48 two-hour
drills per year in addition to the
training encampments. Pay for
training and drill periods is equi
valent to regular Army pay. Co’l.
Johnson has urged employers of
guardsmen to provide military
leave to those employees wishing
to attend camp and thus continue
their work in providing for Al
aska’s defense.

VISITORS TO NOME
- By G. GOSHAW
Captain Fred Goodwin with his
aides Co-Pilot Gilbertson and
Stewardess Gene Marshall, landed
Wien’s “Arctic Wonders” at Nome
Field Saturday noon.
Those aboard had that grand
experience of twice crossing the
Arctic Circle and hold a most at
tractive certificate announcing
that fact. For crew members,
a Circle crossing means just an
other day, but to those passengers
from the States who from their
home easy chairs have gazed
longingly at colored maps depict
ing the Yukon River, the Arctic
Circle Arctic Ocean, the Diomede
Islands, Asiatic Siberia it is a
thrill to gaze down on Alaska’s
wonderland, the land of great
distances, covered so' swiftly by
Wien’s comfortable airplanes.
When the crossing of the Arctic
Circle is announced, each and ev
ery visitor enjoys that great men
tal thrill of satisfaction in know
ing that “Here I am, high above
the land, experiencing that objec
tive I travelled to meet.”
Among Nome’s visitors this day
were Mr. and Mrs. Walter Slay
den; Miss Frances Steinbrower,
Los Angeles; and Mr. Norvell
Gillespie, Richmond, Calif.
Mr. Gillespie is with the Cali
fornia Spray Chemical Corp, and
with Miss Steinbrower, is making
sound recordings, taking movies
and still pictures of Life in Alaska.
Both complain of too short a time
to fittingly see and record Alaska
as it “really should be done.”
Miss Elizabeth Gordon, Hono
lulu, Hawaii is Nome’s first visit
or this season from the Pacific
island of everlasting sunshine, but
never a midnight sun. Miss Gor
don was interested in early day
as well as today’s Standard Oil
installations, as she is on the
Honolulu staff of that company.
Miss Ann Sockrider, nurse, New
York, enjoyed the opportunity of
gathering wild flowers, finding
over 12 varieties on Anvil moun
tain. This small group of visitors
were taken by Angello’s bus for a
much longer ride about the hills
than the regular bus tour and
all were exceedingly grateful.
There were many praiseworthy
statements made about Nome and
its people, but now and then some
visitor says something that rather
jars one Alaska’s long - standing
equanimity by stating aloud much
to the momentary amusement of
all the bus-touring visitors: “So
this is Nome’s beach of golden
sands—minus gold but oh, you
rusty tin cans and golden gar
bage.” And for reward to a re
mark of dustless streets, so well
oiled, we harvest: “Look at the
loose dirty paper at the side
walk’s edge and dirty sidewalks.”
Some diseases su^h as diabetes
may cause poor sight.

Eisenhower Offers
East Germany
Food From U.S.
WASHINGTON, (tf— President
Eisenhower’s offer of food for
rebellious East Germany faced the
quarreling Kremlin Saturday with
a choice between accepting capi
talist aid or letting Germans go
hungry.
The U.S. proposal Friday — to
begin immediate delivery of 15
million dollars worth of food to
Germany’s Soviet-controlled east
ern zone—was made directly to
Moscow.
That bypassed the East Qerman
Communist government, which
the U.S. has never recognized, and
put the issue squarely up to the
Kremlin, which just rocked Lav
renty P. Beria from his No. 2
perch as boss of the Soviet secret
police.
The dramatic stroke caught the
Communists at a time when they
were fighting the fires of revolt
among Mosccrw dominated peo
ples and stirring up sparks among
the top men in the Kremlin.
Their choice lay between ac
cepting help from the Americans
they call “decadent capitalists” or
rejecting aid whose humanitarian
aspects cannot escape the restiv
peoples of the satellite countries.
There was an air of suddenness
about the President’s move, an
nounced while he was conferring
in Texas with governors of the
drought-stricken® Southwest.
White House officials said most
of the food would come out of ex
isting surpluses held by the Com
modity Credit Corporation under
the government’s price support
program. But some of the commo
dities, like sugar, would have to
be purchased outright before ship
ment abroad, they said.
Canadian Prime Minister
Takes Swat at Republicans
CALGARY, Alta., W) — Prime
Minister St. Laurent implied Sat
urday that the U.S. Republican
party blew its way into power by
promising voters such “hot air”
as tax cuts it couldn‘t deliver.
The implication was contained
in a political speech the Canadian
Liberal Party leader delivered
before a party luncheon here.
It formed his main attack
against the $500,000,000 annual
tax cut the Progressive Conser
vatives have promised if they are
elected in the Aug. 10 Canadian
elections.
St. Laurent, speaking of a politi
cal party “in another land” that
had given aid to free ccmntries
but not to Canada, did not men
tion the U.S. by name, but a Lib
eral party officials said “the U.S.
is obviously the country he
meant.”
