What has been refused Russia since 1943 that really matters to Russia? As for A-bombs and hydrogen bombs—all Stalin needs to do is to send spies here and they can take what they want.

Winds The mile dropped to about 20 miles by 10 a.m. (PST). It was about 38 degrees above zero in the area and the water temperature was about 43 degrees. This was the third time in three days a B-36 encountered difficulties on northwest flights, but in the two instances it was minor B-36's made unscheduled at McChord on Sunday e previous ble. ings nd Monday because of mechanical difficulty. The B-36 search came while planes based at Whitehorse, Yukon Terr- itory, still were looking for an Air Force C-54 that disappeared Janu- ary 26 with 44 aboard. Col. Cecil Scott, Eighth Air Force Relations Officer at Fort . said the missing B-36 took/ !

Great Secrecy When the secrecy instructions were issued early fn the search, all | government agencies involved here said they were under orders from the Air Force not to give any infor- the missing | mation concerning’ bomber. The Times said guards were placed at doors of the Air Route Traffic Control headquarters of the Civil Aeronautics ~ Administration at Seattle-Tacoma airport to maintain secrecy of reports on the plane. RCAF In Charge McChord Air Base Officers re- ported that the RCAF had been | given operational control of the search, assisted by the US. Air Force. As the search progressed planes were dispatched from distant bases. Two B-29's were sent trom Fairfield-Suisun ‘Air Base in Cali- fornia. Two more were dispatched from Great Falls, Mont., where they had been based in search for the missing C-54¢ in the Yukon. Eight B-29's were sent from Spokane Air Base. Coast Guard Planes Out Fourteen Coast Guard planes were also engaged in the search. At Victoria, B.C., the RCAF re- ported a scow would be towed to the search area for use as a mobile operating base for a helicopter. The scow-helicopter operation has been tried experimentally, but is believed )w be the first time it has been used {in an actual search. but later the Public Information Officer at Carswell Air Base said the plane carried 16 crewmen and a passenger. | The U.S. Department of Agricul- | ture has found benzene hexachlo- ride may be used to control chicken lice without making meat or eggs taste “musty.” Holly trees should be planted 25 to 30 feet apart. i | ELLIS AIR LINES DAILY TRIPS JUNEAU TO KETCHIKAN via Pefershurg and Wrangell With connections to Craig, Klawock and Hydaburg Convenient afternoon departures, at 2:30 P.
