The editors and other newspaper workers who are making the Alas- ka trip represent some 70 weekly and daily newspapers in 26 states, from Vermont to California and from Washington to Florida. A few of them are from such metropolitan papers as the Free Press of Duluth, Minn,, which has nearly as many people as the whole of Alaska, or the Mecklenburg Times, of Charlotte, North Carol- ina, which has more. But mostly their newspapers are in towns with fewer than 10,000 people, towns of about the same size as those they will visit in Al- aska. Writing about another NEA con- vention many years ago, one of Al- aska's best known editors, the late “Stroller” White, said: “I have in- variably observed that men who were limited as to finances were al- ways accompanied by their wives but those who were flush always went alone and unencumbered.” ‘The number of wives who are ac- companying their huskands on this trip indicates that these editors are no more “flush” than the a matter, the average editor of a small town newspaper anywhere in the United States., never given a copy of the 1947 Wed- emeyer report warning of possible Communist aggression in Korea.

Acheson went on: “To that, was attached this com- ment: “‘Comment: The Peoples Army will be prepared to invade South of. this year indicated in the cur- rent report of armed force expan- critical 38th Parallel areas.
