Alaska Is Good Place For Lonesome
Girls, Asserts Atwood In Dallas Speech
DALLAS, Tex., IP* — “Dallas’
lonely young girls, ambitious
young men and anyoody who will
let us be in hock to them” were
invited to move to Alaska by the
Editor-Publisher of the Anchor
age Daily Times Friday.
“With 16 males for every 10
females, Alaska is a great place
for husband-hunting girls,” as
sured Robert B. Atwood, who ad

Close; Escort
Planned In
Quemoy Supply
By JAMES CARY
TAIPEI, Formosa, UP) — Na
tionalist Sabrejets may now fly
close escort for airdrop missions
to Quemoy to guard them from
Communist jet fighters, a Defense
Ministry spokesman said Satur
day.
Four Communist MIG 17s at
tacked transports parachuting
supplies to the besieged offshore
island Friday, forcing one crip
pled C46 to land. The Nationalist
Defense Ministry revealed Satur
day the MIGs also strafed Que
moy.
“Thip can be stdpped,” said
Rear Adm. Liu Jok-Tu, the de
fense ministry spokesman. “We
are not going to sit there and
wait for the transport planes to be;
shot up again.”
U. S.-built F86 Sabrejets were'
flying high altitude cover for the !
low-flying transports, Liu said,1
when the MIGs suddenly swooped
•n the slow cargo planes from
the nearby Red China mainland.
It took the Sabrejets too long
to get down and the MIGs had
fled.
“You might say our airdrop
planes were almost unescorted,”
Liu said. “Maybe we’ll have to
change our tactics to prevent low
altitude sneak attacks like Fri
day’s by having some of our planes
fly at low altitude too.”
The admiral emphasized that
the main job was to protect the
transports so they can deliver
badly needed cargo to Quemoy.
He said he was not hinting at
Nationalist bombing of the MIG
bases on the mainland in hopes
of stopping the Communist fight
ers at their source.
U. S. officers expect such at
tack would provoke Communist
raids on the Nationalist air bases
on Formosa. Since the United
States is pledged to defend For
mosa, that would draw the heavy
concentration of American mili
tary strength here into direct con
flict with Red China.
Liu said the MIGs attacked a
flight of C46s with machinegun
fire immediately after they para
chuted supplies to Quemoy and
then strafed the island’s main
town of Kinmen City. He had
no information whether the straf
ing inflicted casualties.
I the U. S. “The women exceed the
I men in the other 48 states, and
only two-thirds of them are mar
ried. Nearly three-quarters of ours
are married. Where could you
find better odds?”
He said the new state needs
“the courageous and the energet
ic” to develop its many resources.
“Send us your young people,,
you second sons who are not in
line to take over your businesses,
your imaginative ones who can
see the empire that is in the mak
ing and that can be theirs,” he
urged.
But Alaska’s greatest need is for
capital to be invested in resources,
emphasized Atwood, noting that
British money first financed the
pilgrims and Easterners grub
staked the pioneers as they headed
West.
“Just as Chicago was once in
hock to Boston, and now other
smaller cities are in hock to Chi
cago, Alaska is looking for some
one to be in hock to,” he said.
“The North will be developed by
capital from the East, West and
South, and the first profits will
rightly flow back into these
areas.”
Atwood also asked for “the
understanding of the other 48
states,” as he spoke at the final
session of the 18th annual meeting
of the American Association of
Oil Well Drilling Contractors.
Then, in a manner that would
match any Texan’s, he added, “It
is impossible to exaggerate when
I describe Alaska. Everything is
magnificent and grandiose, no lie
could ever top it.”

‘Not One Swallow j
Shall Fall . .
ROME, UFi — A female swallow
from northern Sweden died on
Friday aboard an airliner bring
ing her and her two eggs to sunny
Italy. Her mate had died a few
hours earlier.
Waiting for the eggs to hatch,
the male and female swallow
were caught by an early snowfall
at their summer home, a Swedish
village above the Arctic Circle.
Swedes who found the shivering,
hungry birds, appealed to the
Scandinavian Airlines System to
take them to a warmer climate.
The swallows were flown to
Stockholm and given a meal of
insects flown from Denmark. In
the morning the airlines employes
found the male had died.
The airline spkesman said the
swallow would be buried here.
The cause of the birds’ death
was not determined.
