I -
The Nome Nugget is trying to please and serve,
this community with the latest Associated Press cur
rent news, war news and the latest A. P. feature tele
mat picture and Radio-photo mat service. Now that
the cost of operation has materially increased we feel
sure the public will realize that we have a much small
er margin to operate with and rather than be forced to
raise our prices, we hope the public will help us carry
on by cooperating and giving us all the support a small
towTn newspaper needs.
Therefore we request all supscriptions be paid in
advance or cash sales from newsboys and at this office.
We also request all changes of advertisements,1
local news and publicity copy, be in the day before
publication, if possible, and not later than noon the
day of publication.
Any subscriber whose paper is not delivered
promptly will confer a favor on The Nome Nugget by
reporting to this office.
Harmony of the Spheres
\ •*“ -
Surging from center to circumference with a mul
titude of wartime and industrial activities, new Alaska
finds it necessary to readjust herself along many lines.
Particularly is this the case in the main centers
where major projects are concentrated and new con
ditions are evolving. In these centers are public groups
dealing with legislation, federal allowances and all
steps necessary to orderly and most advantageous pro
gress.
The Groups constitute the necessary spheres of in
fluence. That thev should operate in harmonv is in
dispensible. Fairbanks, Juneau, Anchorage, Sitka. Ko
diak, Nome, Cordova, Valdez, Ketchikan, SkaGwav
and others represented bv their Chambers of Com
merce and other service clubs are confronted by many
problems of vital common interest.
If ever there was a time all should endeavor to
operate in harmony it is now. The broader issues and
aims of each community will have a far more satis
factory outcome if all will endeaver to get the true
perspective on problems of territorial scope and giving
due allowance to trie respective needs of each labor
together for the good of all.
Closer contacts, consideration of the needs of the
Territory as a whole and united efforts to further the
common interest and build for a greater and better
Alaska never was more necessary than today.
May all keep this ideal in mind and strive on har
moniously in each and every sphere of influence with
in the territory and there need be no fear of the ul
timate results.
How about preparing against winter fire hazards.
Now’s the time to see that every piece of heating ap
paratus will stand the test.
Congratulations to those endeavoring to make the
boys with the armed forces in Alaska feel at home by
inviting them into a home for an evening. Are you
doing your part.

Buckner Wins
Case For $1
Hunting License
ANCHORAGE, Oct. — Major
General Simon B. Buckner’s at
tempt to win the privilege of
hunting in Alaska on a resident
license has become a major Terri
torial legal case.
Judge Simon Hellenthal in the
United States District Court sit
ting in Anchorage, upheld the
claim of the commander of Al
aska military forces that he is en
titled to a resident huntng li
cense instead of having to pay
the larger fee of $50 for a non
resident license.
Wildlife Agent Jack O’Connor,
stationed at Anchorage, still re
fused to issue the license how
ever, and Judge Hellenthal cited
the Wildlife Agent for contempt
of court.
The United States marshal was
unable to serve papers on O’Con I
nor because he could not be
found.
Judge Hellenthal then told
Gen. Buckner that the Court
would either send O'Connor to
jail or issue a permit over his
name.
The General asked that the lat'
ter course be pursued.
The district attorney’s office
has indicated it would appeal to
the Circuit Court of Appeals in j
San Francisco from Judge Hellen
thal's decision.
The Alaska Game Commis-j
sion’s office takes the position |
that soldiers ordered to Alaska j
do not become residents of the
Territory.

Hess Reported To
Have Gone On
2 Hunger Strikes
LONDON — Rudolf Hess, form
er deputy fuehrer to Fuehrer Hit |
ler, who made a sensational
flight to England last May, is re
ported to have started a hunger
strike twice in his place of de
tention in anger because he is
being treated as a prisoner of
war and not as a “special envoy”
the London Star reported.
Hess is being confined “within
very easy distance of London.”
It is said he contends that as
an envoy he should be allowed
to return to Germany once in a
while. He was No. 3 in the Nazi
government.
When Hess flew to Scotland
last May he was reported widely
to have brought a peace offer
from Hitler.
Rescuers Go
For Sitter On
Devil’s Tower
SUNDANCE. Wyo., Oct. —
Crowds of curious spectators gath
ered at the foot of Devil’s Tower
to watch two experienced moun
ta n climbers work their way to
the peak, where Parachutist
I George Hopkins has been strand
I ed three days.
Meanhile, friends of Hopkins
sought a helicopter, a vertical
rising plane, which could be low
ered to the pinnacle in north
western Wyoming.
The alpinists began the last
900 feet of the ascent this morn-,
| ing and planned to reach Hop
, kins some' time tonight. Devil’s
tower is 1200 feet high.
The climbers, Ernest Field and
Warren Gorrell, hope to bring
Hopkins down from the peak
Sunday. Spectators wondered
how Field and Gorrell would ex
ecute the feat and how they
would get down themselves.
Hopkins made a parachute j
leap from an airplane to the one
acre top of Devil’s Tower. He!
started to clrnb down the precip- j
I itous volcanic pillar Thursday
I but after descending a distance
'of 100 feet Cl imbed back to the
I top.
Food, bedding * and even a j
i small tent have been dropped on |
| the Tower by planes for him.

Stunter Rescued
SUNDANCE, Wyo., Oct. — j
Mountain climbers have rescued i
parachutist George Hopkins
from the top of 1200-foot volcan- j
ic spire called Devil’s Tower, af
ter he had been marooned there;
four days when he landed safe-;
ly on the flat top to win a $50 j
bet.
The wearied parachutist was;
lowered for the last few hun
dred feet in a rope sling be- j
cause he was unable to climb
down as the mountaineers did.
Hopkins made a safe landing
by parachute when he was drop
ped from a plane, after betting
$50 he could perform the feat.
