FLAGPOLE SITTER GETS 500-MILE OFFER

CLARK CORNERS, O, Aug. 26 (U, P.).—S8teeplejack Bob Baum has been sitting atop a 120-foot flagpole for 30 days here to call himself to the attention of the business world and today he finally had received his first offer—a chance to drive a car in the Indianapolis Memorial day 500-mile race. Mr. Baum could not explain how his flagpole sitting appeared to qualify him for the Memorial day classic. A Detroit sportsman phoned him last night and made the offer, Mr. Baum said. Mr. Baum will consider the offer, he said, after he descends from the pole tomorrow and takes a little rest.

quantities conceivably can arouse the cupidity of other nations. Canada’s concern stems from a community of interest with the United States. Geographically, Canada's Yukon territory and Alaska can be considered an entity. Successful defense entails co-ordi-nation, already under way, and joint maneuvers, now being discussed. Much remains to be done. Canada’s military structure is essentially British. If war came tomorrow, fusion would be difficult. Should an attack against the United States come over the top of the world, Canada would be caught in a vise and forced to defend herself on her own soil. Bases Built Late

When war ‘came to the United States in December, 1941, Alaska was almost without defenses. Belatedly, in 1938 and 1939, the army had picked sites for bases. It had established a small airfield at Anchorage and had begun construction of another at Fairbanks. The navy had a base at Kodiak. Elsewhere, all of Alaska—with an area equal to that of Texas and a population less than half that of | Ft. Worth—was undefended.

The army and navy realize today they cannot gamble on that kind of a break again, * World war IT disproved the old military thesis that a major war cannot be fought in the north. The Aleutian campaign removed that concept and opened the possibility of world war III being fought on the rim of the Arctic eircle. The conviction is strong among army and navy chiefs here that Alaskan defenses must be second to none. In the Alaska planning dections of the two branches, the wheels are beginning to turn slowly. Thousands of troops are being sent into the territory for winter

NEXT—What Russia Is Doing.

{preferable to conditions in any {other Balkan country.” {

The assertion was made at a press | conference highlighted by an exchange of sharp words with representatives of the official Soviet and | | Yugoslav news agencies.

He said the Ukrainian action in {bringing the Greek situation before | the security council was a maneuver | brought about by the fear that free-|dom-loving Yugoslavia would find itself in the dock. The correspondent for Tass,” official Soviet news agency, said “ie | view of these reports perhaps it will {be 2 good thing for the situation to | be thoroughly aired. Can we say | that the British government welcomes the Ukrainian move?”

Called ‘Maneuver’

{ “I hardly think so,” the foreign {office spokesman retorted. | He described the Ukrainian com|plaint as a Soviet tactical maneuver. | “I invite you to examine the mili- | tary strength at present in the various Balkan countries and you will see that Greece is the most unlikely |to embark on an aggressive war." | The correspondent for the Yugoi slavian agency Tanjug interrupted: | “But surely it is unlikely that Al- | bania, the smallest country in Eu- | rope, would do so.” | “Ah, yes,” the foreign office man | said. “Albania of course is a free-{dom-loving country too, And free-|dom-Joving countries don't do | things like that any more than they shoot down friendly planes or fire on allied cruisers.” Concerning the Ukrainian charge

ACTRESS SETTLES FOR RENT BOOST

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 26 (U, P.).— Actress Lillian Gish has settled out of court her suit to collect $11,025 she claimed she overpaid to her landlords, Dr. and Mrs. Hartley Dewey. Miss Gish claimed she was charged $700 a month rent on a Beverly Hills home whose OPA ceiling was $175 a month. Attorneys for the Deweys said full restitution of the overcharge was made, adding the Deweys felt they were entitled

to the rent raise because of im-

provements made for Miss Gish.
