here
that
he
believed
his

was
suffering
from
acute

and
required
immediate
surgical

Mrs.

had
been
safely
landed
In

Hospital.
Egg

about

On
receiving
Mr.

N.

The

said
the
soldiers
were
pulled
from

of
Injuries

sickness.
The
cases
ranged
from
frostbite
and
arthritis
to
gunshot
wounds.
All
were

INDEPENDENT
NOW
Edward
Russell,
former
Liberal
minister
of
natural
resources
In
the
Newfoundland
cabinet,
says
he
has
been
expelled
from
the
Liberal
party
and
now
will
sit
as
an
independent
member
in
the
House
of
Assembly.
Mr.
Russell
resigned
from
the
cabinet
because
he
said
he
no
longr
had
"any
confidence"
in
government
policy
under
Premier
Joseph
Smallwood.
(CP

He
said
the
Alaska
command
wants
a
strong
civilian
defense
organization
to
Ui
minimize
the
diversion
of
military
forces
that
will
have
their
hands
full
against
the
enemy
and
(2)
a
good
civilian
defense
organiza
tion
probably
would
be
able
to
lend
valuable
aid
to
milltaiy
oases.
-
"A
sound
civil
defense
organization
is
a
vital
necessity
to
all,"
he
declared,
and
concluded
with
the
quotation:
"So
much
to
do,
so
little
time."
Kepner
mentioned
specifically
among
the
problems
the
evacuation
of
women
and
children,
principally
from
areas
where
the
enemy
may
make
a
para-troop
attack.
,
"It
would
be
best,
of
course,
to
accomplish
this
limited
evacuation
beforehand
if
our
Intelligence
sources
gain
information
that
such
an
attack
is
pending.
This
would
permit
a
greater
saving
of
civilian
lives.
"As
an
example,
If
we
assume
that
enemy
troops
have
dropped
on
Anchorage
and
later
they
drive
the
civilians
ahead
of
them
as
shields
when
attacking,
this
furnishes
a
peculiar
and
distressing
problem.
We
know
this
could
happen
if
no
preparations
have
been
made'
He
said
correspondents
had
reported
such
tactics
by
Communists
in
Korea.
"We
must
clear
the
decks
beforehand,
If
possible,
in
a
critical
area,"
he
continued.
"The,
proper
authority
to
undertake
this
movement
is
