Russians First Came To Kenai In 1700's

Most peninsula residents have welcomed the Russians, although there have been exceptions. One hardware store owner in nearby Homer has refused to sell to them and won’t let them in his shop. One young Russian girl said: “They say Russians go home. But we say Russians were here before you.” Russians first came to the Kenai in the 1700s and 1800s. Before settling here, the

group’s elders showed up at a borough meeting to announce their intentions and to make it clear they weren’t setting up a commune. They bought land at auction for about (14,000. Some say that was much more than it was worth. They leased additional gracing land. Hard luck knocked soon. A tent fire claimed one life and their cattle began dying shortly after arrival. But nearby

ranchers helped them nurse the herd back to health. They built a new village in a virgin spruce forest. Most of the hones have washers, dryers and other modern appliances and several homes have saunas. But there are no radio or television sets in the village. “It’s against our religion,” says carpenter Peter Basargin, 21. Still they know what’s going on. Some have read Aleksandr

Gold MinesGo In Idaho

By JOHN KUGLIN Associated Press Writer MURRAY, Idaho (AP) - The sign near the Four Square Mine, dormant since 1934, would hardly encourage an amateur prospector. “Use bridges at your own risk — survivors will be prosecuted.” But Bob Kress wasn’t at all

By TERRY RYAN Associated Press Writer BOSTON (AP) — About 110 black children walked quietly off school buses today into South Boston High School, scene of antibusing demonstrations last week during the first two days of court-ordered

unfriendly as he sat in his front yard, panning for gold with the aid of a garden hose. “People cane all the time wondering what gold looks like,” Kress said. “But I can’t see how you can miss it. Nothing else looks like gold.” The Four Square gold-tung-sten mine is two miles southwest of Murray, a historic min-

ing town that was home for 10,000 in its heyday in the 1890s. Spurred by higher gold prices and the discover of a halfpound nugget last year, three gold mines are being developed in the center of this revived ghost town of 87 persons and several dozen weathered buildings.

Solzhenitsyn’s works. The village elders recently visited a neighbor, retired Army Brig. Gen. B. B. Talley, their closest friend, to ask: “Do you think the government will fall because of Wa-

tergate? We can’t stay here if it becomes Communist.” Talley says the Old Believers left Oregon because they felt their religion was threatened when some of their children began smoking marijuana.

He said they encourage village young people to marry early to avoid contacts with the outside. A decision to set up a separate school in the village has helped shield the children.

But a neighbor said: “Lots of times we see the Russm kids — we call them the Russian hoods — roaring down the road with radios blasting and potato chips flying out the windows.” Although some of the men

speak Russian, Chinese, Portuguese and English, none speaks English well enough to pass citizenship tests. The village adults plan to hire a teacher to help them pass citizenship tests.

Groups Urge Boycott Of Ford Plan

By The Associated Press Schools were to reopen today in Kanawha County, W. Va., where violence surrounding protests over allegedly antiChristian textbooks had closed classrooms since Friday. Meanwhile in Boston, police were scheduled to be on the streets in force again although city schools made it through the day Monday without any injuries for the first time since court-ordered busing began

this year.

A sheriff’s spokesman in Charleston, W.Va., the area where the allegedly antireligious textbooks are the issue, said, “Our main objective is going to be to see that the buses run.” Earlier Kanawha County school officials announced schools would reopen today despite continued picketing and boycotting of classes by Fundamentalists who charge antireligious textbooks are being used in the schools.

Boston school officials reported 70 per cent attendance at the city’s 200 public schools Monday, up from about 67 per cent when school opened last week under a court-ordered busing program to achieve integration. Although school children avoided injury, five persons on a city bus with a black driver were injured when the bus was staled on a regular transit run. And 20 persons were arrested, most on disorderly con-

duct charges, in South Boston where police encountered roving bands of white youths. Classes were conducted without incident although two black juveniles were arrested after rocks hit a bus carrying white students home. But there were no injuries. Meanwhile in Detroit, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People asked a federal court to

school integration.

“Attendance is up. Everything is peaceful,” said police

Supt. Joseph Jordan.

A handful of the 1,031 assigned white pupils arrived at the school today. On Friday, 32 white pupils and 25 of the 380 assigned black pupils attended

classes.

Elsewhere in the city, schools opened this morning without any reported incidents. Police said “substantially more than the 400 police assigned to South Boston Friday” would be put on the streets today in the neighborhood, which

has put up most of the resistance so far to having black children attend previously all-

white schools.

Antibusing leaders vowed to continue their boycott, but city and state officials said they expected progress in the integration program.

About a third of public school students were absent when classes opened last Thursday and Friday under the federal order to integrate through busing. School buses were stoned and police lined bus routes to protect black children coming into one section of the city.

Despite the troubles, school officials said teaching was going on in all schools. Attendance was namal in some areas and there were no problems reported in the classrooms. A rally against busing drew hundreds of cars on Sunday in South Boston, the middle class,

mostly Irish Catholic area where the boycott was most effective. Police said Sunday they wouldn’t allow a South Boston “mothers march” planned today, because of

potential for violence.

Mayor White last week ordered that persons gathered

order a massive integration plan that would include busing for 280,000 students in Detroit schools, beginning in January. Plans to desegregate Detroit city schools by busing children to and from suburban school districts were previously rejected by both U.S. District Court and by the U.S. Supreme Court. But the city’ is under court order to develop a desegregation plan that would involve busing only within Detroit.

near schools in groups of more than three be arrested. Twentyone persons were arrested, two policemen were injured and 11 black children were hurt, none seriously, in bus stonings. One bus carrying white students was hit with stones thrown by black youths.
