Nome to Send
Ivory Carving
To Eisenhower
By RUTH McLEAN
At the Tuesday luncheon meet
ing of the N.W.A. Chamber of
Commerce, President Stan Mor
gan read a telegram from the
Fairbanks chamber advising that
the Tennessee Plan delegates to
Washington will be taking good
will tokens from Alaska commun
ities to the Eisenhower family. An
ivory carving of Eskimo figures
on a hunting trip was chosen as
representative of the Seward Pen
insula by the committee, Russell
Hermann and Chuck Frazier.
Charles D. Jones will start the
carving on its way to the Presi
dent’s family by taking it tomor
row to Fairbanks, where he will
attend a meeting of the Legisla
tive Council.
Other Chamber business in
cluded the receipt of a check for
$68.75 from the Alaska Visitors
Association. This represents the
balance outstanding from 25 per
cent of the contributions from
Nome in 1956 which is returned
for local AVA work. The commit
tee for the 1956 fund raising
drive will make their final con
tacts this week.
The response to the survey
made by Chamber members
showed an overwhelming ap-!
proval of the proposed water and
sewerage system by Nome prop
erty owners.

Demonstrations
In Budapest . . .
— Tuesday —
(Continued from Page One)
BUDAPEST, OP—Russian sol
diers opened fire yesterday in
Heroes’ Square when thousands
of women pressed forward to lay
wreaths on the tomb of Hungary’s
unknown soldier.
A woman was hit by one of the
several shots fired and was taken
to a hospital. Her condition was
described as not serious.
Eyewitnesses said the shooting
broke out when the women “be
came unruly" while trying to
force themselves past Russian
soldiers to lay their flowers on
the tomb—exactly one month af
ter the Russian military crack
down on the Hungarian revolu
tion.
A Russian officer brandished a
pistol, witnesses said, and the
women began to scatter, running
in all directions. Several shots
were fired. The injured woman
was hit in the leg.
Soldiers Ignored
The women ignored Russian
soldiers who tried to push them
back and placed red, white and
green bouquets on the large white
stone honoring the Hungarian
dead of World War I.
It was clear to all who watched
that the women were honoring
not the dead of 1914-18 but the
thousands who fell before the
Russians in the rebellion of Octo
ber and November, particularly
on the black Sunday of Nov. 4.
Woman by the Hundreds
The demonstration, announced
only by leaflets handed out on
Budapest streets yesterday, start
ed at 11 a.m. Singly, in groups,
and finally in hundreds, the wom
en converged on the square with
their bouquets.
At least two dozen Russian ar
mored cars and scores of Russian
soldiers with submachineguns also
were at the square. Their guns
pointed at the women.
"We Are Not Leaving!"
The women passed the • Soviet
embassy on former Stalin Street,
heavily guarded by tanks and
troops about 300 feet from the
square. They ran into the first
Russian roadblock manned by ar
mored cars and troops.
Russian soldiers, in some cases,
shoved the women back. But the
women shouted defiantly, “We
are not leaving!”
The women, pushing past' the
roadblock, gathered at the cor
ners of the square. They pressed
up to within a few feet of the
muzzles of Russian guns and be
gan singing Hungary’s national
anthem.
We'll No Longer Be Slaves"
Their high voices carried over
the square and the old song was
picked up by women on the oppo
site side, nearly 1,000 feet away.
Later, a group began reciting a
Hungarian poem by Sandor Pe
toefi, written at the time of the
184# revolution. It ends with the
solemn oath: “We shall no longer
be slaves.”

DAMASCUS, Sywa, Wi—Relia
ble Syrian sources say the United
States has told Syria it will toler
ate no more aggression in the
Middle East.
American Ambassador James
Moose was reported to have given
that word to Premier Sabri As
sali in a 90-minute interview,
with the declaration covering
moves against Syria or any other
nation in the Middle East area.
The U.S. embassy declined to
comment on the report of the
meeting. Assali told reporters
Moose “explained to me the new
United States policy toward the
Middle East.”
He said the ambassador also
outlined America’s "eagerness that
all Middle Eastern countries
should maintain their freedom
and independence.
In a statement to the press, the'
Premier said: “We hope the inter
national atmosphere is improved,
but despite tranquilizing Ameri
can announcements on the Middle
East we must remain on the alert
to face any possible future even
tuality.”
Soldiers carrying tommyguns
remained on guard at public
buildings in Damascus, and hotels
and other major buildings were
still sandbagged. Volunteers of
the “Popular Resistance Oragni
zation” continued drilling on the
city’s outskirts.
Premier David Ben-Gurion of
Israel declared the Soviet Union
is pouring jet fighters and bomb
ers into Syria and said the Is
raeli air force must be strength
ened.
Speaking at a defense bond
rally in Tel Aviv, Ben-Gurion
said, “We cannot be satisfied with
the former strength of the Is
raeli air force when we hear
about the flow of Soviet planes
to Syria.”
