Miles Srandon, Formerly of Nome,
Off to Washington, D.C., on $1,000
Scholarship for More Voice Study
ANCHORAGE—Miles Brandon'
left for Washington, D.C., recently
to' continue- voice studies under a
$1,000 scholarship awarded him
by the National Congress of Am
erican Indians.
An active member of the Alaska
Native Brotherhood, Brandon will
also work part-time for the con
gress in its efforts to promote the
welfare and protect the rights o'f
American Indians.
“And,” he said, “I will also take
every opportunity to work for
statehood for Alaska.”
Brandon first came to the atten
tion of Indian Congress officials
last May when he visited the na
tion’s capital with 50 other Alas
kans urging statehood for the ter
ritory. An accomplished tenor, he
sang at numerous gatherings held
the week the Alaskans were in
Washington.
In Anchorage he is well known
as a soloist with the Community
Chorus. He also won the Matan
uska Valley talent contest in 1949
and in 1951, and 1952 was soloist
with the Boeing male chorus
while working Outside in the Se
attle aircraft factory.
“I’ve been singing just about as
long as I can remember,” said
Brandon, who was born 30 years

V
ago at Council 90 miles northeast
of Nome.
He is the oldest of six sons and
one daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
James Brandon. The family now
lives in Anchorage.
After attending the territorial
school at Golovin and the Nome
public school, Brandon attended
the Snag Point territorial school
at Dillingham when his family
moved there in 1937.
His musical education began in
Seattle in 1947 when, after 46
months of military service in An
chorage and on Attu, he became
entitled to funds under the GI
Bill of Rights.
Since then he has fished almost
every summer in the Bristol Bay
area while continuing voice train
ing in the hope that one day he
would become a professional
singer.
With the scholarship awarded
him by the Indian Congress that
opportunity appears just around
the corner.

Election Trend
Is Democratic
WASHINGTON—The widely
conceded election trend is Demo
cratic. That is no longer being dis
puted, even by some Republicans.
The Republicans are set to touch
off a last round rally of enthusi
asm for party candidates, and
hope' to retain control of both
ho'uses, but many observers be
lieve the House is already lost to
the GOP.
Of course, the trend can be re
versed. The Cleveland Indians lost
the World Scries, when .the major
ity felt certain the Indians had
the stuff. And President Truman
surprised all the pulse-feelers
also, in 1948. The Republicans,
though, will have to come up with
a surprise- vote to keep the Demo
crats from gaining.
Business is not deteriorating
and, in fact, is on the way back up
in some instances, but the change
is not apparent enough to help the
GOP. Unemployment and low
farm incomes, plus the normal
off-year election tendency, is go
ing to hurt the majority party.
And where business is still slack,
the Republicans will be blamed
by many businessmen.
It may be that Sen. Joe McCar
thy’s decision to stay out of the
campaign, to a large extent, will
prove smart. While it was prob
ably dictated by several factors,
if the Republicans lose ground
November 2nd, he will have es
caped some of the blame sure to
have been heaped upon him.
