Sen. Knowland Tells Alaskans West
Could Guarantee Pre-War Borders
Of Soviet if Satellites Were Freed
FAIRBANKS, UP)—Sen. William*
F. Knowland (R-Calif) suggested
yesterday that if the Russians i
“really fear aggression from a !
unified Gennany or a free world,1
the Western powers could agree to
the guarantee of the pre-World
War II Soviet frontiers—and no
more.”
But first, the Senate Republi
can leader declared, Russian forc
es should be withdrawn from the
satellite states of eastern Europe.
He and Mrs. Knowland arrived
Monday at Ladd AFB on different
planes. After making a tour of
major Alaska defense installations
he said he was “tremendously im
pressed with the civilian develop
ment in Alaska, as well as the ex
pansion of miltary defense and the
bases which are vital to the de
fense of this continent.”
Knowland dealt extensively with
the issues of the cold war in his
address at the afternoon convoca
tion at the University of Alaska.
He received an honorary degree of
doctor of laws.
His audience included delegates
to the statehood Constitutional
Convention for this one-time Rus
sian territory. He pledged strong
support for statehood, for both
Alaska and Hawaii.
He charged “Molotov sabotaged
the Geneva spirit which had been
envisioned by the Western lead
ers. He did it coldly and after de
liberation with the Kremlin heir
archy.”
The senator declared “the So
viet version of the Geneva "spirit
has shown up as counterfeit;” all
the former causes of international
tension still exist and “some new
ones have been added;” that
“peace with honor means there
will be no Munich appeasement
whereby the freedom and sover
eignty of small nations are traded
for false promises of ‘peace in our
time’;” that he doubts the justifi
cation for the proposed “package
deal” proposal for admitting new
Communist and democratic mem
bers to the United Nations.

ble terms for a guarantee of Rus
sian frontiers after emphasizing
that the United States has no ag
gressive aims. Stressing that any
such guarantee could be only for
pro-World War II frontiers, he
declared:
“This would be in conformity
with Soviet treaties with pre-war
Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia
and Czechoslavakia. It would also
be in conformity with the Atlantic
Charter. On such a stand, our
moral and legal position would be
unassailable.
“However, we cannot ignore
the fact that those running the
Kremlin today are in a syndicate
composed of the men appointed
and put into power by, and having
the confidence of, the ruthless
Stalin.
“It is my belief there should be
no European security pact with
the Soviet Union by the free
world until and unless the Soviet
forces have been withdrawn from
the satellite states of eastern Eur
ope, as they are obligated by
treaty and agreement to do.
“This should be followed by
free elections. Otherwise, dress it
up as you will, it will in fact be
condemning the people of those
nations to prolonged slavery be
hind the Communist Iron Cur
tain.”
Ten Persons Abandon
j Luxury Schooner Stuck
Off Deserted Island
HONOLULU, (iP—The captain
of the Seattle-owned, power
schooner Commonwealth notified
the Coast Guard Monday he and
10 others were abandoning the 65
foot ship which has been trapped
in the coral reef at Palmyra Island
since Wednesday.
The Coast Guard said Capt.
Freeman Lang radioed passengers
were in no danger and were going
ashore on the deserted island
1,300 miles southwest of here.
A Fish and Wildlife Service
ship is scheduled to pick up the
survivors Dec. 11 or sooner.
The Commonwealth left here on
Nov. 18 for Palmyra, where its
crew and passengers were to set
up a base for a luxurious sports
fishing expedition.
Lang, well-known yachtsman of
Honolulu, radioed that a faulty
steering gear caused the ship to
run off course as it entered the
channel into the circular atoll. It
was trapped in a series of coral
heads about 200 yards off shore.
Among those who were aboard
are: Chris Dahl, partner in Kyler
and Dahl Fishing Co. of Seattle,
which owns the vessel; and three
other Seattle residents.
In Seattle, a partner with Dahl
j in the fishing company, said the
Commonwealth is valued at about
$75,000.

HAPPENED IN THE FUNNIES
TURNERS FALLS, Mass., W —
Firefighters were called on a mis
sion involving a wandering flat
iron yesterday.
Fire Chief Charles G. Farley
said Mrs. Jeanette Lowe, a third
floor resident, went out and left
her iron on.
The iron burned through the
ironing bdard, fell to the floor,
burned a hole in the floor and
dropped into the second floor
apartment of Mrs. Stephen Brozo.
The falls of the iron broke the
electrical connection or it might
have caused more than a smoul
dering fire, said the fire chief.
