Japanese Demand Return
Of Two Surviving Dogs
TOKYO, W) — Education Minis*
ler Ryogo Hashimoto promised
that all possible would be done
to secure a speedy return to Ja
pan of two sled dogs that survived
11 months alone in the Antarctic.
The Japanese Society for Pre
vention of Cruelty to Animals
as'.ed that the Japanese icebreaker
Soya bring the dogs back when if
comes home after landing a new
. xpe-ition at Ongul Island.
The dogs, members of the dwin
dling Japanese Karafuto breed,
were among 15 left behind when
Japan’s Antarctic expedition had
iio aoandon its base last February.
The new expedition reported
two of the dogs were still alive
and in good shape. There has been
no word of the other 13 dogs.
Abandonment of the dogs had
caused a tremendous outcry from
the animal-loving Japanese. The
finding of the two alive set. off
nationwide re oicing.

Alaska Telephones
^ow Hooked Into
Nationwide Circuit
“The time required to place tel
ephone calls between Alaska and
the remaining 48 states a^d Ha
waii has been cut in half,” the
U. S. Army Alaska Commm'n
Svsteyn announced Mondav.
This reduction time applies to
the cities of Anchorage and Fair
banks, the first of the maior ci
ties of Alaska to receive automat
ic switching equipment. This new
equipment will automatically
route incoming calls directly to the
Alaska subscriber from the Pa
cific Telephone Company in Se
attle. Formerly, these operations
had to be performed by local man
ual operations in Seattle and
Alaska.
The Seattle automatic switch
ing system and similar facilities
in 52 major metropolitan areas in
the United States an£l Canada en
able local operators to dial direct
to telephones in thousands of
communities on the network. The
addition of Seattle to the operator
dialing network makes it possible
for Anchorage and Fairbanks op
erators to dial direct to telephones
;n thousands of communities on
‘he con'inent and even to Hawaii.
A 4,fPn mile call between New
York a"d Anchorage takes no
longer than to put a call through
between New York and Phila
delphia.
The ACS estimates that 75 par
c°nt of the telephone traffic be
tween Alaska and the rest of the
ra‘ion originates or terminates in
Anchorage and Fairbanks. Juneau
and Ketchikan will be next to
receive the new automatic switch
ing equipment in about a year.
There are 32 circuits carrying
telephone conversations between
Alaska and the 48 states. Twen
ty-seven circuits are in the new
submarine cable system con
structed by the AT&T long lines
between Seattle and Ketchikan,
the remaining five circuits are
provided via Canadian and ACS
landline facilities.
In 1958 some 267,000 calls were
made between Alaska and the rest
of the nation.
