Briefs From UP Tidal Wave Effects Most Devastating New Wave Off Alaska; Chileans in Panic A Navy plane, flying over the icy Bering Sea, north of Alaska, reports that another wall of water is surging toward Bristol Bay in Alaska. Women and chil dren are being evacuated by plane from a fishing village in the path of the new wave. Another tidal wave has struck Dutch Harbor, the naval base in the Aleutian Islands, causing only slight damage. Waves, five feet higher than normal, have been pounding the California coastline since early morning. The effects of the tidal wave, caused by an earthquake in the Gulf of Alaska, have been felt 10,000 miles away on the coast of Chile. Inhabitants of the Chilean coast fled inland in panic late to day when the ocean suddenly re ceded hundreds of yards from the shore. But the expected tidal wave failed to materialize. Effect in Hawaii Hawaii has begun the heart breaking task of trying to clean up after the worst disaster since the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. , Red Cross officials say the damage wrought by yesterday's massive tidal wave has turned out to be much worse than ex pected in some areas. Property damage is conservatively placed at $20,000,000. The death toll in Hawaii has reached 79, and at least 51 persons are known to be missing. A state of emergency has been declared in the Islands. A short while ago, a Navy sea planeone of scores of search ships- sighted three men and one woman clinging to floating timber off the shores of Hawaii. The plane landed to pick them up but was swamped by the heavy seas. Finally, an Army tug boat arrived, and took everyone aboard.

Russo Starts To Keep Promise To Leave Iran Russia has started to keep its promise to evacuate Iran.

These official reports, from both Iranian and British sources, reveal that Red Army troops are embarking on trans ports at a Caspian seaport, and also are moving overland into Russia from the Russian garxk son at Meshed, 500 miles east of Tehran.

The thought for Dr. Craig's address came from a new article that reported the veterans in school are making much better grades than civilian students of either sex. Dr. Craig believes it may be possible that the men who fought to save their country may be willing to work to save its morals and intellect.
