tribes, communities or groups to
assume or share with other public

the project by specific contribu

Worldwide Battle
Rages Against
Hate - Mongering
(By The Associated Press)
Attests mounted yesterday in a
growing campaign against the
worldwide wave of anti-Jewish
incidents.
But in the wake of more racist
displays, a world Jewish leader
urged a U.N. investigation to seek
out the reasons for the outburst
of hate-mongering, now in its
third week.
In West Germany, where the
Christmas Eve desecration of a
Cologne synagogue started the
wave, Chancellor Konrad Aden
auer warned of the consequences
of continued anti-Semitic activity.
Obviously referring to the Com
munist bloc nations, Adenauer
said in a West Berlin telecast:
.“One must clearly understand
that such incidents will be uti
lized by the enemies of our
people — and as you know, Ger
many still has very many enemies
— who will say that the Germans
are the same as they used to ‘be.”
West Berlin police found car
toon posters linking Adenauer and
various of his ministers with the
anti-Semitic demonstrations and
with Hitlerism. There was sus
picion that the posters originated
in Communist East Germany.
Police arrested two men for put
ting up the cartoons.
Three incidents were reported
I in Britain. Schoolboys admitted
being the guilty parties in one
case, describing it as a prank.
Police in Florence, Italy, caught
three youths painting swastikas.
In Foggia, in southeastern Italy,
! three students were arrested for
plastering anti-Semitic slogans on
public buildings.
The U.N. investigation was rec
ommended by Dr. Mauris L. Perlz
weig, a representative of the
World Jewish Congress.
He told the opening meeting of
the U.N. subcommission on pre
vention of discrimination and pro
tection of the minorities, that the
issues involved represent a mat
ter “of life or death” for many of
the world’s minorities.

City Council
Meeting Notes
Correspondence from Repre
sentative Ralph Rivers to the Sur
geon General of the Department
of Health in Washington, D. C.,
was read at the Council meeting
Monday evening, which corres
pondence advised that necessary
action be taken for Nome to be
included in the program for the
construction of sewerage facilities
for health reasons in this area.
This bill, known as Public Law
86-121, is primarily for native
areas, to , improve health stan
dards, and, as this community is
largely comprised of Eskimo
people, consideration should be
given for inclusion of Nome, he
stated.
S. W. Inks, superintendent of
Federal Jails in Alaska, is ex
pected here for a conference with
City officials, on the pending
changeover of the Federal Jail to
the State of Alaska. Some of the
councilmen had favored the City
taking it over, although no facts
or figures have been received to
show if this plan is practical.
A letter of protest was received
from the Q Cab Company, against
the $15 city tax on taxicabs, and
was referred to the Street Com
mittee.
The City has lost several hun
dred gallons of oil recently, from
a leak in the fuel tank. Plans
are under way to set up a surface
tank at the rear of the City
Building as soon as possible.
Charles West, operator of
KNOM-TV, was granted permis
sion to televise the Council
meetings.
Verna Mickelson, council
woman, tendered her resignation,
as she is now employed at the
Nome Light and Power Utilities.
Blodgett Recounts Great
Need for Savoonga Airstrip
Representative Rob Blodgett,
who has been employed at N. E.
Cape on St. Lawrence Island,
made a trip to Savoonga before
returning from the island, and re
ports there is urgent need for an
airfield there.
More than 300 people live at
Savonga, and the only wpy of
getting in or out in the winter is
by dog team, which is a 15 hour
trip, and by skinboat in summer.
He said there is an excellent
location for an airstrip there, and
residents have petitioned for a
local landing field.
A generation ago this isolation
was not uncommon, states Blod
gett, but today it is an inhumane
experience for sick and injured to
be lashed to a sled and trans
ported two days to reach a point
where airplane travel is available.
Having just completed the trip,
which took him 15 hours, going to
Savoonga and 13 hours to return
to N. E. Cape, Blodgett feels very
keenly the need to bring these
people closer to the rest of
Alaska. He also observed the vil
lage to be much cleaner than
many others in northern Alaska.

Court Shown Gory
Evidence in Finch Trial
LOS ANGELES, W — People’s
exhibit No. 31 lay °n leble
before the witness stand. There
was a bullet hole in it.
The exhibit was the white cock
tail dress Barbara Jean Finch was
wearing July 18 — the night the
state says her husband, Dr. R. Ber
nard Finch, murdered her.
Dr. Finch, his face unlined and
young at 42, fixed an almost bland
gaze on Police Capt. William M.
Ryan as the officer testified
Monday in a precise, professional
voice.
“There is a hole in the dress,’
Ryan said, “and there was a
round wound in the victim’s back.
It appeared to be a bullet impact
wound. A round hole in the dress
corresponded in position.”
Ryan testified to the search his
oficers made of the Finch home
and the hills surrounding it in
suburban West Covina. He said
his oficers were seeking two
things: a pistol — and Dr. Finch.
The pistol was never found. Dr.
Finch was arrested the next day
in Las Vegas, Nev., at the apart
ment of his mistress, Carole Tre
goff, 23.
Miss Tregoff, a Titian-haired
ex-model, also is on trial, charged
like Finch with murder and con
spiracy.
