T-3 U. S. WEATHER STATION, GREENLAND—This cozy
nook in the polar region is a balloon shelter on T-3, the D. S.
weather station on a floating ice cap. A balloon is being prepared
for flight to gather weather information. T-3 is within 240 miles
of the North Pole. It is part of the eyes and ears of America’s North
East defense along the polar route. The nearest permanent base
is Thule, which is about 500 miles south of this floating weather
station. This is among the first photos made at T-3.
Lundeberg Says
Shippers ‘Playing
Footsie’ With Reds
SAN FRANCISCO, (tf)— Harry
Lundeberg, sharp-tongued boss of
the AFL Sailors Union of the Pac
ific, told a U.S. Senate subcommit
tee Friday that West Coast ship
owners are “playing footsie” with
Communist elements.
Lundeberg’s 90-minute speech
to the three-member Senate sub
committee on Maritime subsidies
was an implied attack on his arch
waterfront rival, leftwing Long
shore Boss Harry Bridges.
“The record of the Pacific Coast
as far as unloading and discharg
ing cargo is concerned—particu
larly in the harbor of Los Angeles
—stinks,” Ludeberg roared.
He charged “a deliberate at
tempt to drive American ships off
the seas ... I can’t see where they
(shipowners) have the nerve to
come before this committee and
ask for subsidies.
“First of all, they are beating
American shipyard workers out of
their jobs. Second, they are beat
ing American seamen out of earn
ing a living. Third, they do not
pay the U. S. government any
taxes from the profits derived
from operating foreign flag ships
. . . they are only out for the fast
buck themselves and they do not
care about building up the Amer
ican merchant marine.”
This criticism was directed at
shippers who build vessels
abroad or operate American-built
ships with foreign crews under
foreign flags.

Alaska Kappa Chapter jnet last
last Thursday evening at Terry
Jackson’s home with Maybelle
Lennert assisting as hostess.
The doll arrived for our raffle
project later in the year. Golden
hair, blue eyes, a moving head,
walking legs describes this doll,
and with a complete wardrobe of
handsewn clothes, she’ll make a
most desirable little doll for some
lucky individual.
We were pleased to have Mar
garet McDonald, public health
nurse, in our midst. We learned
that Betty Adams, a former mem
ber of our chapter, is now vice
president of a chapter in Palmer,
Alaska. Omie McCarthy passed
some photos of Louise Hay and
family and read excerpts from
her letter. Louise is an original
chapter member now in Honolulu.
After a brief recess, we were
lead by Terry in our cultural pro
gram. In answer to the question,
“What do you ask of Life?” most
everyone responded with the an
swer—“Health.” Some held that
you cannot ask of Life: you are
given life and what you do with
it depends on you. Some self
estimate charts were discussed
that covered things we worry
about, things necessary for per
sonal happiness, emotional cycles.
Terry surprised us by showing
us how creative we can all be on
ten minutes’ notice. Each girl
drew a slip of paper, telling her
to do something such as sing,
dance, sketch a picture, recite a
poem, enact the title of a book,
make a hat, etc. Then Maybelle
Lenert and Terry Jackson assisted
in serving sandwiches and jello
salad with garnishes to the girls.
On Saturday night most every
one appeared in informal attire—
jeans and shirts and skirts and
blouses predominating. No one of
the crowd of over 40 was bashful
about trying the reels, schottisch
es, John Paul Jones. We were
most fortunate in having live en
tertainment in addition to phono
graph records. LeRoy Reader and
his accordian entertained with
many fine folk dance numbers. A
candle race was held with a tie
between men and women. With
all the interference we women
had, it’s amazing that the men
didn’t win. Then each girl parted
with one of her shoes which were
heaped in the middle of the flood.
The men made a mad dash to grab
5 shoe, find the missing woman it
belonged to and dance with her.
At 11:00 p.m. the baskets and
boxes were raffled. There was a
boat-shaped lunch box, flower-la
den boxes, star-studded boxes and
many others all capably raffled
by Ernie Gustafson, Bob Renshaw
and Walt Sipprell. Chicken, potato
salad, coffee and doughnuts made
a most delicious midnight snack
for all. Three cheers and thanks
go to Shirley Goedde and her
committee for planning the party
to be such a gay affair.
