90 Congolese Soldiers to
Join U.N. Army Forces
LEOPOLDVILLE, The Congo W>
—Ninety Congolese soldiers will
put on blue berets of the United
Nations to join the U.N. army at
Kamina Base. The United Nations
announced Tuesday they are to
have the same status as any other
national contingent in the U.N.
Congo force.
They will be the first of more
than 900 Congolese soldiers sched
uled to serve eventually under the
U.N. flag.
Their duties at Kamina, U.N. of
ficials said, will be to guard the
important U.N. base in Katanga
Province and perform routine re
connassance work alongside In
dian, Swedish, Norwegian and
Canadian troops based there.
U.N. headquarters made clear
the Congolese are not to be used
in any offensive actions against
Katanga President Moise Tshom
be’s secessionist government. But
their presence is likely to increase
Tshombe’s fear the United Nations
'may assist the central Congolese
army to reoccupy Katanga by
force.

"Your Dimes Will Do It Again."
Trina is one of 250,000 chil

birth defects. Though Trina's
condition is relatively minor,

cern about the problem of birth
defects.
During Trina's visit. Gov.
Egan proclaimed January as
New March of Dimes Month
throughout Alaska and urged
all Alaskans to "give their
ser rices and support to this
campaign in the firm belief
that your, dimes will do it
again."

Deer Industry Is Tax-Consuming
Octopus’... Could Be Boon to State
(Anchorage News)
John A. Gibbons, director of re
search development, Alaska Air
lines, termed the Bureau of Indian
Affairs' operation of Alaska rein
deer industry a “sprawling, tax
consuming octopus,” in an ad
dress to the Greater Anchorage
Chamber of Commerce.
Gibbons said the operation
“does not reflect to the credit
and glory of the bureau," adding
that what he termed the “present
situation,” was not all the fault
of the bureau, but was also “a
shame to all the people of Alaska.”
He contended that the industry
could be a boon to the state, but
that it now provides “little to the
natives and little for the tax
dollar.”
He said Alaskans should de
mand an “overhaul” and “upgrad
ing” of the industry and its man
agement.
Guests also at the head table at
the Chamber’s noon Luncheon
during Gibbons’ address were
Paul Nelson, local director of the
Bureau of Lndian Affairs and Phil
Holdsworth, Commissioner, Alas
ka Department of Natural Re
sources. Gibbons cited Nelson and
other bureau officials as "co
operative,” explaining that his
criticism of the present reindeer
operation did not reflect upon the
few federal employes charged with
the operation in Alaska.
Holdsworth said in a brief re
port of a recent visit to Japan
that changing food patterns there
could mean a market for products
of a future reindeer industry here.
Holdsworth also said there
seemed to be a place in a proposed
fur industry in the state for rein
deer hide products.
In addition to his initial criti
cism of the present management
of the reindeer industry, Gibbons
spoke at some length on the
brighter prospects of the industry
under different management.
He said marketing research into
the possibilities of outlets for the
industry were encouraging. He
anticipated probable objections of
other food-raising in industries by
saying that the reindeer industry
would not cut into the market in
.—.
direct competition with other
meat and fiber industries.
He said the market research
made thus far was made on the
basis of the meat as a gourmet
item, but that the findings were
not conclusive.
Grissom said the reindeer in
dustry would get a publicity push
in the form of reindeer bone offi
cial buttons planned for the Fur
Rendezvous and possibly for
Century 21 in Seattle.
As another publicity token, a
reindeer fawn fur hat designed
by Helen Fisher and worn by
her at the luncheon is being sent
to Hedda Hopper, Hollywood
columnist.
Grissom cited the successful ex
perience of Finland and Russia in
the domestic reindeer industry,
saying, “if they can do it, so can
we.”
He said that in addition to aid
ing the economy of the state as
a whole, a properly administered
reindeer industry would be an
other food supply source for na
tives, who he said, would be feel
ing the pinch of dwindling fish
ing resources.
Grissom cited the lade of ade
quate sanitary slaughtering facili
ties for the industry as one of the
failures of the bureau in its man
agement of the industry. He said
also, in outlining the history of
reindeer since they were first im
ported from Siberia in the last
century, that the reindeer popula
tion readied its p^ajc in the early
1930’s but dwindled to a fraction
since the federal government re
stricted the industry to natives.
In 1934 herds numbered about
a million, while the present popu
lation is only 43,o6o, Grissom said.
He said the only real slaughter
facility, at Nunivak Island, is
neither adequate nor profitably
operated.
