THOSE ATOMS AGAIN
President Eisenhower’s official family seems to be
having mouth trouble again.
In Madrid, Air Secretary Harold E. Talbott and
General Nathan Twining, Air Forge chief of staff, held
a press conference. According to report, Mr. Talbott
was asked: “Will atomic bombs be stockpiled in Spain?”
And, according to report, he replied: “Atomic weapons
will be made available to U.S. forces based in Spain,”
and added that this would only be done with the full
approval of the Spanish Government.
In Athens next day, Secretary Talbott made a flat
denial, being then quoted as saying: “The report is not
true. I never made such a statement, nor will I ever
make statements about atomic weapons.”
In Washington the same day, President Eisen
hower suggested to Secretary Dulles and Secretary
Wilson that their departments get together on public
statements likely to create jitters abroad. Mr. Dulles
then told a news conference the U.S. had no plans for
storing atom bombs in Spain. Then Mr. Wilson told
a news conference he was in complete agreement with
Mr. Dulles.
Perhaps all this is the American idea of a war of
nerves. But if so, it’s our own nerves that seem to be
taking the beating.

Mardi Gras Of The!
North, the Roof
Garden, Dec. 12tli
In keeping with annual custom
and extending over a period of
45 years, Igloo No. 1 and Women’s
Auxiliary No. 1, Pioneers of Alas
ka, announce preparation for the
holding of the 45th annual Roof
Garden at the high school audi
torium Dec. 12, 1953.
Needless to state that tiiis event
ushers in Nome’s social' season.
The Pioneer Roof Garden to Nome
is' likened to the Mardi-Gras at
New Orleans. It is the big gala
celebration of the winter season.
The people of the community look
forward to it as the appropriate
time to get together after a long
and strenuous summer and fall.
It gives an opportunity to the
people of this more cfr less iso
lated location to meet friends in
an atmosphere of good fellowship
and enjoy the pleasure and re
laxation that such meeting af
fords.
The committee in charge of the
Roof Garden this year advise they
are sparing neither time nor ex
pense to' live up to the reputation
of the Igloo and Auxiliary to fur
nish the people of Nome with an
evening of enjoyable entertain
ment that will long be remem
bered by those who are fortunate
to attend.
The Pioneer booklet is being
prepared as usual in connection
with the Roof Garden, and the
business houses have again sig
nified their desire to take liberal
advertising space as they are ac
customed to do in this folder. It’s
a good investment as this booklet
reaches far and wide throughout
Alaska and the States, evidence
of which has been demonstrated
by the many tourists who come
to Nome as a result of reading
the advertisements in this folder.
Save the date—December 12th.

A1 Rosen Selected
American League’s
“Most Valuable Player”
CLEVELAND, UP) — A1 Rosen
just sat right down and cried Fri
day when a reporter told him he
won the American League’s “most
valuable player” award. He said
his wife cried too.
“I can’t talk. I’m crying. Please
let me call you back,” he said,
and recovering his composure half
an hour later, he confessed:
“Terry and I sat down and both
of us cried. We’re so happy. This
is the most tremendous thing that
ever happened to me. I’m still
weak and getting cold shivers.”
The 28-year-old Cleveland In
dian’s third baseman continued:
“I’m setting my sights for next
year. I’ll do my best to become
a two-time winner.”

Biggest Player?
MARIETTA, OHIO —Probably
the biggest varsity football player
on the 1953 collegiate scene, Bob
Hogue, 17-year-old freshman who
still is growing, has posed a prob
lem for the Marietta, O., college
team ever since he first reported
for practice. He is 6-foot, 4-inches
and weighs 305 pounds. The prob
lem, of course, is finding uniforms
big enough for him. Shown with
the huge center from Cairo, W.
Va., is Jeffrey Gray, 16 months,
who hopes to make the Marietta
varsity about 1970.
NICE TOUCH!

Woodley Testifies His
Wife Had Him Watched
SEATTLE, (if)—The 47-year-o«ld
president of the Pacific Northern
Airlines, Arthur G. Woodley,
testified Wednesday his wife once
told him she had him b e i n g
watched. Woodley was on the
witness stand answering his wife’s
divorce suit.
Mrs. Woodley is the former
Letha Manders, daughter of an
Anchorage attorney. The Wood
leys have three young sons.
She estimates her husband is
worth about IV2 million dollars.
“Once when I went to the
house in August of 1952 to pick
up the youngsters, she (Mrs.
Woodley) told me she had me
under surveillance,” the former
Alaska bush pilot testified.
“I said to her: ‘Save the money.
I will tell you where I am, and
what I am doing’.”
Aleutian Gets New Color Scheme
SEATTLE, UP) — The thousands
of Alaskans and tourists who have .
traveled on the good ship Aleutian
would never recognize the old girl
now.
The liner came out of dry dock
with a bright new coat of pearl
gray, instead of the Alaska Line’s
familiar black and green.
The ship is ready for service
between San Francisco and Ha
waii for the new Hawaiian-Pa
cific Line—if it can clear the
labor hurdle.
