It is already published in the golden books. As goes for
"A Christmas for Shacktown" which is published in "Carl
Barks beste".

Then one where Scrooge is hypnotized to give a lot of gifts
to a dog? I think that one is also published in the golden
books.

A few months ago Don Rosa wrote here on DCML that "there is no
space-port in my Duckburg". So this part of your evidence is not
indisputable.

No, Glomgold lives in the Limpopoo Valley, South Africa. So
here it would be more correct to refer to John D. Rockerduck
instead.
