RESTRICTING THE RIGHT TO WORK
In spite of the President’s press conference reitera
tion of his recommendation for a 90-cent-an-hour wage
law, the Senate a few hours later passed the Democratic
bill raising the national minimum wage from 75 cents
to $1.00 an hour. The CIO had urged $1.25.
This would have been a more serious matter but
for the fact that the President’s recommendations for
broader coverage were also ignored and omitted from
the bill, leaving wholesale and retail workers, farmers
and farm hands, and various others excluded.
Among the facts of life of which politicians seem
unaware is the unfortunate truth that there are many
thousands of working Americans to whom an employer
could not profitably pay $1.00 an hour. An iron-clad
minimum wage law would simply deny them employ
ment.
REVERE S SPIRIT RIDES AGAIN
The steeple of Old North Church, symbol of Ameri
can alertness and preparedness that was crashed to the
street by Hurricane Carol last August 31, has been
restored. The new steeple, made possible by public
contributions totalling $150,000, isa actually the third
to grace the old church. But it retains the original 20
foot weather vane and, most important of all, the orig
inal window where those lanterns were hung (“two if
by sea”) that started Paul Revere on his ride.
Even though the job wasn’t quite finished for the
Fourth of July, the restoration should provide a lift to
American spirit and fresh hope that defenders of the
nation may still be counted on “from exery middlesex,
village and farm.”
FROU - FROU
Brace yourselves, men. Here it comes. That toilet
soap that all the movie stars use is shortly to add a
new high octane smell... an odeur (as the French say)
that has been blended, we are told, from 37 different
“notes” in the smell scale, and which originated in
Brazil, Formosa, Guatamala, Madagascar, the Reunion
Islands, North Africa, India, France, Java and the U.S.
And while we think it is commendable that the
American pater familias is generally a very easy-going
guy, here is a case that calls for stern resolution, an
ultimatum in fact. Every family man in America should
lay down the law—or else go to the store and get an
armful of this dream-stuff just to show his women-folks
he’s really hep.

area to take advantage of Fed
eral Housing Authority funds
which are now available for pri
vate home owners, rather than big
housing projects as in the past.
He also called attention to the
Fannie May funds for re-financ
ing home loan mortgages which
are again available to Alaskans.
Apply Early for Public Works
In reference to Alaska Public
Works projects Gov. Heintzleman
said that applications must be
made early to Juneau so that
when funds are requested from
Congress, each project will be
specific in its requirements. This
process takes time to work out
and compile and if Nome is inter
ested in financial help of this
kind, we must submit our plans
early.

Ike Withholds
Judging Talbott
Pending Inquiry
WASHINGTON, IffV— President
Eisenhower today withheld judg
ment on Harold E. Talbott’s fu
ture in his administration pend
ing the end of a Senate inquiry.
Talbott himself announced he is
giving up his partnership in a
management consultant firm
which stirred controversy over
his conduct as Secretary of the
Air Force.
In quick developments:
1. Eisenhower told a news con
ference he will decide, once the
current Senate investigation ends,
whether Talbott used his public
office improperly and should be
fired. Meantime, he said, the mat
ter is in abeyance.
2. Talbott told the Senate in
vestigating subcommittee he has
arranged to divest himself on July
31 of his partnership in Paul B.
Mulligan & Co., of New York,
business engineering firm which
has contacts with some defense
suppliers.
“That is my final action,” Tal
bott said to the senators in emo
tional tones.
He made the announcement in
a prepared statement which he
read to the subcommittee, and
which made no reference to any
possible plans to resign as the top
civilian official of the Air Force.
Talbott said he would give up
his interests “10 times over” rath
er than hurt the Air Force.
He remarked that when he be
came air secretary, he gave up
stocks which were giving him an
income of $100,000 a year. “I was
glad to do it,” Talbott said, ob
serving that many others had
made financial sacrifices to serve
their government.

> WASHINGTON, (*►—President
Eisenhower told the nation Mon
day night a spark of world peace
was ignited at the Big Four con
ference. But he said much pa
tience and sacrifice and “some
giving on each side” will be need
ed to keep that spark alive.
Winding up a radio-TV report
on last week’s talks—which, he
said, included no secret agree
ments—the President declared:
“I believe that only with pray
erful patience, intelligence, cour
age and tolerance—never forget
ting vigilance and prudence—can
we keep alive the spark ignited at
Geneva. . . .
“We, all of us, individually and
as a people, have possibly the
most difficult assignment of our
nation’s history. Likewise, we
have the most shining opportunity
ever possessed by Americans. May
these truths inspire us, never dis
may us.”
The Chief Executive said the
“acid test” of the Geneva talks
will come next October, whe^ji the
Big Four foreign ministers meet
to seek specific agreements on
some of the broad problems taken
up by their chiefs.
“But I do know the people of
the world want peace.
“Moreover, every other indiv
idual who was at Geneva likewise
felt this longing of mankind. . . .”
The President spoke, glancing
occasionally at handwritten notes,
from his oval office in the White
House. In this first direct report
to the nation on the Geneva meet
ing, he listed four main results of
his talks with the Russian, British
and French chiefs of government:
1. “A sharpened realization by
the world that the United States
will go to any length, consistent
with our concepts of decency,
justice and right, to obtain peace.
For this purpose we will work co
operatively with the Soviets and
any other people as long as there
is sincerity of purpose and a gen- _
t uine desire to go ahead.”
2. “A growing realization by all”
—including the Soviets—“that nu
clear warfare pursued to the ulti
mate could be practically race
suicide.”
3. “A realization that negotia
tions can be conducted without
propaganda ‘and threats and in
vectives.”
4. “A better understanding and
a closer upity among the nations
1 of NATO.”
