Ten Alaska Native Service Schools
Turned Over to Territory in 1952-53
Big Three Ministers
Discuss Far East
LONDON, W)—The Big Three
foreign ministers, plagued by fresh
international crises, tackled the
knotty Far Eastern situation Sat
urday.
For 90 minutes, informed sour
ces said, the Western policy mak
ers covered among other things
the question of the start and
makeup of the Korean peace
conference, including the possibil
ity of the admission of neutral
Asian nations, the future status of
Communist China, and the French
war against Red-led rebels in In
dochina.
Even while America’s John
Foster Dulles, Britain’s Anthony
Eden and France’s Georges Bi
dault deliberated in the British
Foreign Office, special commit
tees were hard at work hammer
ing out a common policy on other
issues.
These included the explosive
Trieste question, the Israeli-Jor
dan border situation, and a new
approach to the Soviet Union
based on Western pledges of non
aggression.
Chinese POWs Give
Red Persuasion Teams
Hard Time Saturday
PANMUNJOM, (3—Chinese war
prisoners, violent in their hatred
for Communism, gave Red per
suasion teams a hard time Sat
urday—they shouted obscenities,
hurled chairs and kicked at Red
explainers attempting to coax
them back into the fold.
Of the first 400 Chinese inter
viewer, only 9 or 10 asked for
repatriation. The other streamed
back to their stockades, choosing
more captivity rather than go
back to their Red homeland.

*, JUNEAU — Enrollment for the
1953-54 year in Alaska Native
Service schools is now 4,940, ap
proximately the same as that of
last year, although 10 more schools
have been turned over for opera
tion by the Territory.
Part of this can be accounted
for by the “instructional - aid”
school plan of the ANS, where
qualified natives of isolated vil
lages -are acting as teachers in
communities where . educational
work has not been available, ac
cording to Kenneth Crites, assis
tant area director of ANS educa
tion.
The 10 schools taken over by the
Territorial Department of Educa
tion this year are in communities
where the villagers have become
self-sufficient enough to meet the
problems of the ordinary commu
nity, Crites §aid. These schools
are operated by the territory but
financed under the Johnson
O’Malley Act.
Last year the territory operated
13 schools under the Johnson
O’Malley Act. Crites said the ANS
schools are being turned over to
the territory as fast as conditions
warrant, but pointed out that
there are still several hundred
children in Alaska’s most remote
and isolated areas who have no
school facilities.
Many of these areas are grad
ually being reached with the in
structional-aid plan. In some cases
where a school is not feasible,
children are brought out to ANS
boarding schools at Mt. Edge
cumbe or Wrangell.
ANS is operating 86 day schools
and two boarding schools this
year. There were 91 schools and
three boarding last year. There
are now 205 teachers.

Eisenhower Says
U.S. Must Build Up
Friends Abroad
NEW ORLEANS, UR—President
Eisenhower declared Saturday
this country must build strength
in its friends abroad or else put
itself “at the mercy of those who
hope for our destruction.”
At the same time the President,
here to help New Orleans cele
brate the 150th anniversary of the
Louisiana Purchase, said the Uni
ted States must help its allies be
come “independent of direct aid
from wealthier nations.”
Obviously, he meant a tapering
off of outright American aid and
an increase in American buying
overseas — so that other coun
tries, in return, can “buy from us
what we must sell to the world.”
Eisenhower flew to an already
celebrating New Oleans fom Kan
sas City, where he had engaged
in two days of earnest talks with
cattlemen and farmers about their
twin problems of drought and
sagging prices.
He hit at that same theme Sat
urday in a speech prepared for de
livery at New Orleans’ old Span
ish city hall, after a parade
through the gaily-bedecked streets
of this bustling port and early
American settlement.
One single state—Iowa— of the
13 involved in the Louisiana Pur
chase, Eisenhower said, recently
reported a corn crop valued at
more than 700 million dollars, or
30 times as much as the United
States paid France for the Louisi
ana Territory in 1803.
TWA, Northwest and PAA
In Race To Provide Air
Service To The Far East
PARIS, (tf) — Warren Lee Pier
son, chairman of the board of
Transworld Airlines, says TWA is
prepared to start service in the
Far East on 30 days’ notice.
Pierson told a reporter that ar
rangements are being made all
along the proposed new route to
swing into operation within a
month from the time the U. S.
Civil Aeronautics Board gives its
approval.
He added that TWA will staff
the area largely with native em
ployes in line with “our own point
4 program which among interna
tional airlines has given TWA the
highest percentage of employment
of foreign nationals.”
TWA has applied for authority
to extend its system from Colom
bo, Ceylon, its present terminus,
eastwar to Tokyo by way of
Bangkok, Hong Kong and For
mosa.
Northwest Orient Airlines is op
posing this plan with one of its
own — an extension from Tokyo
westward to "Calcutta. Pan Ameri
can World Airways is fighting
both proposals on the ground that
it already provides adequate air
service to that part of the world.

Huntley, 3rd Div.
Marshal, Resigns
ANCHORAGE, UP) — Walter S.
Huntley, Third Division U.S. mar
shal for the past two years, Friday
submitted his resignation to the
attorney general’s office, effective
Nov. 6.
Huntley’s resignation followed
a phone call from Washington.
Thursday asking when it would
be convenient for him to resign.
Nov. 6 was set by Huntley as it
ends a pay period. He said he had
been expecting the request for
some time since the change to a
Republican administration, but “I
didn’t expect them to go to the
expense of a phone call.”
Huntley’s appointment was made
by President Truman in Sept.,
1951, for a four-year term. Hunt
ley said he at first planned to re
fuse to resign since only two years
of his term had expired but
changed his mind because of ill
health.
Fred Williamson, an Anchorage
labor leader, and William Healy,
former deputy marshal and now
a member of the Territorial Police
Board, have been mentioned as
possible choices to succeed Hunt
ley.

Fair Exchange
LOUISVILLE, Ky., LP— A Louis
ville cab driver recently traded a
$1,000 bill for $20. Arch Satter
field tells this story:
A passenger gave him $2 for a
$1.75 ride, then said, “You’ve been
pretty good to me—here’s a couple
of bucks.”
When Satterfield discovered la
ter that one of the “bucks” was
a $1000 bill, he raced back to re
turn it.
The passenger, who identified
himself only as being from New
York City, “hardly blinked an eye
—a thousand dollars didn’t seem
to mean much to him. He thanked
me and shoved a $20 bill in my
pocket.”
After age 45 almost all people
have trouble with their eyesight.
