Diamond Business Gaining As US Moves Into Top Spot Defense In Alaska Hit SAN FRANCISCO. April 58 i;P Alaska's Governor Ernest Gruening says maybe Soviet airmen have flown over Alaska recently but he doesn't believe it They don't need to, he adds; Russia already knows "everything we have there." Alaskan defenses now are as in adequate as they were when the last war began and Japanese seized Kiska, he told interviewers here yes terday. He said that for many years before the war Alaska's defenders were 200 Infantrymen without ma chlnegun or anti-aircraft guns. ' Gruening said he thought the ter ritory never would be developed fully unless It achieved statehood. Blocking statehood, he said, were "a monopoly of Seattle shipping inter ests, absentee mining interests, and others they have convinced." But he added that "we have every hope that the Alaska statehood bill will get through the house this session." King Conducts Radio Orchestra COPENHAGEN.

And Uncle Sam is buying heavily. Before the war 75 per cent of the world's diamonds were marketed in the United States. "Now it's about 85 per cent." said Joseph Baum- gold. secretary of the world's largest diamond cutting firm, "and business is up 35 per cent over last year." The number one customer is the man who wants to plunk Si down $200 to J600 for a ring as a gift to his wife-to-be or an anniversary pres ent for his wife. That will get him a stone of from one-fifth to one-half a karat de pending on its quality or a ring made of "melee'' diamond frag ments smaller than one-fifth of a karat. Mass Business Diamonds are a mass rather than a class business. Only 15 per cent of it is on the luxury level over $500 a stone. Biggest buyer today after the prospective bridegroom Is Uncle Sam. "The government is stockpiling diamonds again," said Baumgold. "They are a strategic mineral." He wouldn't go into any detail. The two things diamond dealers dislike discussing most are the ex tent of government purchases and those by moneyed men who buy diamonds for women they aren't married to and don't intend to marry. Smart buyers tend to get diamonds for their wives at one store and those destined for other ladies at another shop. It cuts down embarrassing errors the kind a man doesn't like to make. Two customs the dealers are try ing to encourage: The buying of melee" diamonds for women's wed ding rings and the practice some wives have developed of giving their husbands gold wedding bands con taining one to three diamonds. Worn as Warning They figure It's worth the money to them if he wears the ring that warns other women that their man's off the matrimonial market." said one dealer cheerfully. War has changed the diamond market in several ways. Few people know or remember that the dia mond is the hardest thing on earth tougher than a banker's heart in a depression. Industry has found nothing to take its place to cut and grind metals. "Before the war 95 per cent of the diamonds here went into tile gem trade." said Bnunutold. "Only 5 per cent were used industrially. Now it s about 35 per cent. It is one business where they can't afford the old industry slogan: "Let the chips fall where they may."

The request will be presented at the quadrennial general confereni-e of tlie Meihodlst church which opens here tomorrow. Professor C. M. McConnell of Bos ton university told a Fellowship group last night that special atten tion should be given to the needs of the rural church. He suggested some sort of a mini mum salary arrangement to be paid from a pooling of money for pas toral support. He said that rural churches had little representation at past confer ences, although they served an area containing 43 per cent of the church population. In the past, he said, "not more than a couple of delegates at a con ference could milk a cow." Painless Baby Never Cries Over Hurts AKRON. O.. April 38 ir' Year old Beverly Smith never cries about a fall, a cut or a burn. She never will cry about them, either, because they cause her no pain, say Chil dren's hospital officials. Doctors are calling little Beverly the "painless baby." They say she was born Indifferent to pain. A pin prick brings a lauiih. Bumps and bruises never bother her. Aside from complete Indifference to pain. Beverly is a normal, active child. She cries when hungry or angry, for example. Her 3-year-old sister, Barbara, is normal. Mrs. Victor Smith, her 34-year-old mother says she first noticed Beverly was immune to pain when the child bumped her head on the floor at the age of six months and did not cry. "Then one day she laid her Utile hand on a hot stove." Mrs. Smith added. "She didn't cry then, culler. She Just looked at me and laughed.'' Doctors have decided her lack of feeling to pain is "a stale of indif ference to injury of congenital or igin." The doctors said they had heard of only four or five similar cases. They said she should never feel any pain. Row Raised Over Pike's Resting Place SACKKTS tUHllOK. N.Y., April i (! This little village was up in arnia Tuesday over report the re mains of lien.
