Gambell Presbyterian Delegate Finds
The ‘Heat is On’ At Indianapolis Meet
By LEONARD E. PEARSON
INDIANAPOLIS, UP> — Charles
Slwooko thinks the electric fan
is one of man’s greatest inven
tions.
The 69-year-old Eskimo never
needs one back home in Gambell,
on St. Lawrence Island, in Ber
ing Sea, but he certanly appre
ciated it in 82 - degree weather
here Friday.
Slwooko is an elder of the 60
year-old 125-member Presbyter
ian Church in Gambell. He is in
Indianapolis as a delegate to the
171st general assembly of the
United Presbyterian Church in
the U.S.A.
For Charley, as his fellow
churchmen call him, the long
journey by air from St. Lawrence
Island to Alaska, Seattle, and fin
ally Indianapolis was his first
’’outside,” as he described it.
When asked what impressed
him most in this “outside,” he re
plied:
“Tall buildings, big stores and
running hot water.”
The 82-degrees reading at In
dianapolis, with the humidity at
90 per cent, caused Charley some
suffering.
As he sat at a table for an
interview, a large floor fan was
moved so that the refreshing
breeze blew on him. He smiled
and enjoyed it. When he left
the table he remarked: “I wish I
could take that fan everywhere
with me.”
The Eskimo was dressed like
any other American convention
delegate, but had removed his
coat for comfort. When he ob
liged a photographer by donning
a parka in the hot press room he
smiled again but longed to get
back in front of the fan.
“Hurry up,” he chided the
cameraman.
Slwookoo’s wife, Amy, re
mained in Gambell. They have
nine living children and 27
grandchildren.

you can borrow money if you can
present sufficient evidence to
Show you don’t need it.

Assoc. Contractors
Refuse Exclusive
Hiring Rights
SEATTLE, — Contractors in
Alaska are committed that they
will not accept an exclusive union
hiring hall, the Associated Gen
eral Contractors said Saturday.
The AGC included the refer
ence to Alaska in a statement
which predicted “a long strike —
a fight to the finish.” in the shut
down of heavy construction pro
jects in Washington.
The contractors’ statement was
issued after the National Labor
Relations Board in effect rejected
an AGC contention that an ex
clusive hiring hall is illegal. The
Operating Engineers Union, which
is demanding the hiring hall,
struck in Washington two weeks
ago, idling 15,000 men.
“The contractors are willing to
pay fair wages and work reason
able hours,” the AGC said, “but
will never agree that all hiring
will be controlled by the union.
In accordance with the Taft
Hartley act, the contractors are
agreed that all employes must
join the union within 31 days
after beginning employment. Le
gally, this is as far as the con
tractors can go, and as far as they
are willing to go.
“The time has arrived when
the employers must be able to
operate their own jobs.”
ONE MORE CHILD AND
STACKS WILL HAVE 12
FAIRBANKS — The Charles
Stack family are now within one
of having an even dozen children.
Born to Mr. and Mrs. Stack at
7:47, May 18, was a baby^daughter
weighing 7 pounds, 15 ounces.
Other children in the Stack
family are Bridgid, Kathleen, Ste
ven, Bernard, Mark, Kevin, Vin
cent, Eileen, Sean and Timothy.
The family home is located in
Fairbanks. Stack is an F.A.A. air
traffic controller, and formerly
lived in Nome.
Geneva Parley
To Continue On
Hide & Seek’ Basis
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
GENEVA, UP) — High Western
diplomats reported Saturday the
Big Four probably will begin a
series of recesses in their formal
talks early this week to make way
for secret negotiations on their
disputes in Europe.
A British source said Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko
has advised the West he would
be “agreeable” to a new phase
of restricted exchanges — pro
vided they take place outside the
Palace of Nations conference room
where East and West German del
egates are permitted to speak.
United States, British. French
and West German foreign minis
ters will meet Monday to decide
if and how this arrangement to
allow serious negotiations can be
formally worked out with Gro
myko.
The United States and the So
viet Union are putting heat on
each other to come up with con
cessions at the Geneva conference
which could pave the way for a
summer summit meeting.
The Western foreign ministers
have yet to decide finally on how
they envisage the working method
of the present conference to be
reorganized. This picture emerged
after a high level meeting of
American, British, French and
West German expert advisers
on Saturday:
The conference itself will be
subjected to a series of recesses
so that each side will have to
end repititious semipublic postur
ing.
The Big Four will take advan
tage of the series of one or two
day recesses by meeting private
ly and informally.
There will be scope for contin
ued contacts between any two of
the four principals.
