Covenant Church Radio
Gets FCC Green Light
Nome’s long expected standard
broadcast station was assured of
becoming a reality by action taken
Wednesday by the Federal Com
munications Commission granting
a construction permit to the Arctic
Broadcasting Association, permit
ting the erection of the tower
and actual installation of technical
equipment for the station. The
announcement was made locally
by Art Zylstra, secretary of the
A.B.A., and manager of the new
station.
Since early June, a crew of
workmen has been active to com
plete housing and commence con
struction o fthe studio office
building, which is nearing comple
tion at a location near the pres
ent FAA installation. A plot of
ground near Fort Davis has been
secured for the transmitting site
" for the new location. Much of the
vital equipment for the station,
including the tower, has already
been shipped from Seattle, and
other vital equipment will arrive
via the fall boat. It is hoped that
the station can be in operation
by late fall.
Very shortly, a team of elec
tronics experts, including Dick
Mack of the Lawrence Radiation
Lab at Berkeley, Calif., will ar
rive to supervise the tower erec
tion and installation of electronic
equipment.
Mr. Zylstra will toe going out
side in a few days to bring his
family to Nome. Mr. Ralph Fon
dell, station engineer, is already !
here with his family. A third j
Vouple, the Howard Nelsons, will j
arrive soon to complete the staff I
of the station.

Gruening’s Demand Will
Display 49th Star in Senate
WASHINGTON, UP — Senator
Ernest Gruening is anticipating
the removal of an obsolete 48
star flag from the Senate Cham
ber.
Steps are under way to get a
49-star flag from the Daughters
of the American Revolution. The
DAR has provided the House and
Senate with flags since 1912.
Gruening had called attention
of the Senate to “the astounding
fact that the American flag be
hind the rostrum in this Senate
chamber contains only 48 stars.”
Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Jo
seph C. Duke informed Gruening
the flag would cost $175. Duke
added that because the granting
of statehood to Hawaii will make
a 50-star flag necessary, it was
thought economical to wait.
Gruening, after offering to pay
for a 49-star flag, later was told
that steps are being taken to get
a flag from the DAR.
A presentation ceremony will
probably be held when Vice
President Nixon returns from
Russia.
Weather Fouls Search
For Missing Helicopter
JUNEAU. UP — Weather held
the key to the scope of a search
for three men missing since Sun
day on a helicopter oil explora
tion flight.
The ’copter, carrying a pilot

pered Wednesday by a steady
drizzle and limited visibility of
only one-half to two miles.
The Coast Guard, which ordered
two cutters into the search, said

looking for the missing men as
soon as weather permits.
Aboard the lost ’copter were
Melvin Guerrera, Reno, Nev., the
pilot, and geologists Robert Shel
don, Spokane, Wash., and Robert
Baldwin, Danbury, Conn.

Nixon Cheered
Throughout Urals
By JOHN SCALI '
SVERDLOVSK, Soviet Union,
UP—Vice President Richard Nixon
motored deep into the semi-secret
Ural mountains mining area yes
terday and received cheers every
mile of the way.
Speaking to officials of a cop
per mine he visited during the
forenoon, Nixon came out with a
very strong indication that he
favors either a quick meeting of
President Eisenhower and Soviet
Premier Khrushchev, or a quick
agreement at Geneva which would
permit a summit conference.
“I do not pretend that personal
contact would solve the basic
problems of the world,” he said.
“This trip of mine will be fol
lowed by others including contact
between other leaders,” he added
later.
The statement came in the wake
of reports that he was on the
verge of recommending that Pres
ident Eisenhower invited Khrush
chev to the United States for a
visit. He has repeatedly remarked
that a look is worth a hundred
descriptions.

Alaska Steam Hauls Out
Extra Salmon Pack Ships
SEATTLE, (#> — Two Alaska
Steamship Co. freighters have
been hauled out of layup in Lake
Washington to help handle the
unexpectedly good pack of Bris
tol Bay red salmon.
The MS Coastal Rambler came
out of layup to sail last week for
Kodiak Island and Alaska Penin
sula canneries. The MS Coastal
Nomad is scheduled to sail today
on Alaska Steam’s regular South
eastern run, relieving the MS Ta
nana to load salmon.
Although Bristol Bay’s red sal
mon runs are far below their his
toric levels, they have surprised
fisheries men who had expected
almost no pack this year on Bris
tol Bay.
Alaska Statute Requires
Parents’ Consent for
Marriage Under Age 21
JUNEAU — Despite the new
“age of majority” law passed by
the 1959 Alaska Legislature, a
male applicant for marriage li
cense under 21 years of age still
must have the consent of his par
ents. It seems that the language
of the Act setting 19 as the age of
majority is followed by the phrase
“except as otherwise provided by
statute,” and the marriage sta
tute does otherwise provide. It
specifies that 21 is the legal age
of majority for male applicants
for a marriage license, according
to Dr. Harry V. Gibson, director
of the Alaska Division of Health.

Worldwide Jet Service
SEATTLE — Pan American
World Airways will inaugurate
Jet Clipper service over the Polar
Route from the West Coast to
London August 26, and across the
Pacific to the Orient on Septem
ber 5, it was announced yesterday
by Edward E. Swofford, Pan
American director for the Pacific
Northwest and Alaska.
The new service will introduce
for the first time the giant 5,000
mile range Boeing “Intercontinen
tal” Jet Clippers. This is the same
type of jet aircraft which has es
tablished new non-stop records
from Seattle to Rome and New
York to Moscow and London back
to Seattle recently.
Mr. Swofford elucidates fur
ther:
Twice-weekly jet service be
tween the West Coast and Lon
don will reduce the “over the
pole” flying time to less than
eleven hours.
Jet Clipper Service between Se
attle and Hawaii will begin late
in September with a schedul of
less than six hours.
The huge Jet Clippers rdeuce
flight times by 'about one-half
wherever they are placed in serv
ice, Swofford said, and this same
schedule reduction is expected to
apply between Seattle and Alaska
points.
