RENEWS PLEA
TO HALT SHIP
CONVERSIONS
—
( SEATTLE, Jan. 26.—Represen
tative Magnuson renewed his plea
to halt the conversion of Liberty
ships into troop carriers, disclos
ing that the John W. Weeks had
"cracked” in protected waters,
after conversion.
He said: ‘‘The ship will soon
leave drydock, equipped to carry
1600 men and officers.”
The ship cracked during the
few few miles’ trip from the Lake
Washington Shipyards to the dry
dock in Seattle Harbor. It split
both above and below the water
line. Some of the bottom plates
were badlybuckled.
Magnuson had previously listed
15 Liberty ships which had de
veloped faults at sea.
The John W. Weeks was built
a year ago.

LABOR BOARD
ACCUSED
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—<AP>
—The National War Labor Board
was accused by a special house
committee, for violating the Con
stitution, by requiring the main
tenance of union membership
clauses in the contracts between
workers and employers.
The committee set up to inves
tigate “the acts of executive agen
cies beyond the scope of their au
thority,” declared in a blistering
report that the Constitution can
not be suspended by the President
or his agents, “merely because a
state of war exists.”
The report said. “If the War
Labor Board’s autocratic chal- ^
lenge remains unanswered it will
imperil the economic system and
mark a transition of our govern
ment from one of laws, to one of
men.”
Five of the seven committee- j
men, including Chairman Smith,
Virginia democrat, signed.

SCHOOL TOTES
This week we find the students
of Nome High School pouring
back to school rather reluctantly
What could be wrong? Although
this fact may not be obvious to
t
calm ervtrs, the students feel
the gnawing urge deeply—tests.
Asc any high school student why
he has suffered lonely hours con
tinually pouring over a book with
a cover bearing the t.tie "Biology.
Shorthand. Algebra", or even one
of those, seniors writing and read
ing up on some phase of Alaskan
government, and his answer will
undoubtedly be "TESTS"—Con
furious says: "Student hopes for
best grade-, but looks for worst."
A topic' of .merest among the ,
high school girls is the recent
ATC dance All the new guys i
and all the swell dancers, and
the balloon dance' Did we ever
have fun! Even though it was a
fight to the finish we all had a
roaring good time When one
o'clock slipped around, everyone
left for home with one last long
ing look at the dance floor Every- 1
one was astounded at how won- 1
derful the orchestra sounded with
the adcut on of the new trumpet i
player who seems to be a good '
second to Harry James in thi«
community.
Last Friday afternoon the high
+*+*►++++4-++++ + ++4-g *+4.4-+4.4
m
sc he*. students had the pleasure
of listening to an essay on Alas
,-can sports by Frances Waldheim
Before the talk commenced, the
students were asked to write crit
icisms, good and bad, as they
might be, at the end of the speech.
On the whole, we considered it a
very well prepared and descrip
tive talk.
The high school war stamp
salesman, Paul McCarthy, and
his assistants are doing very well
with the cooperation of the stu
dents in the sale of war stamps.
Last Wednesday. $80.00 worth
were sold. As other Alaskan
schools are fixing their goals at
army jeeps, which fall into three
classes, Nome High School has
fixed its goal at one land jeep.
Although our school is rather
small, and a land jeep costs over
$1,000. we feel confident that our
goal will be attained.
