ABOUT MILTON EISENHOWER
There has been considerable speculation about pos
sible candidates for the Republican nomination for
President next year. Among those mentioned has been
Dr. Milton Eisenhower, the President’s youngest
brother.
One reason some people have suggested Dr. Eisen
hower might be a candidate is the fact that President
Eisenhower regards him so highly. The President is
known to have told many callers that Milton is the
smartest member of the Eisenhower family and that
he is the one who should be filling the job President
Eisenhower now has.
Another reason why there is speculation about Dr.
Eisenhower is the fact that some prominent Republicans
—some of them members of the U.S. Senate—have
called for man removed from partisan politics and with
a personal history which would appeal to both Republi
can and Democratic voters. Dr. Milton Eisenhower
apparently would not be considered a radical or rabidly
partisan Republican candidate.
Although we cannot make any prediction on the
political abilities of Dr. Eisenhower, who is now presi
dent of Pennsylvania State University, it would appear
that he might be a strong candidate.
If President Eisenhower gave his full support to
his brother, and acted as a senior adviser to the Repub
lican Party, the Eisenhower name might still have
much the same apneal, and Dr. Milton Eisenhower
might not be as objectionable to some factions in the
Republican Party, and in the Democratic Party, as
other candidates which have been mentioned.
“Tempus Fugitive”
By VERA C. SIEGWART
Since I have come to make my home
In this fascinating City of Nome,
It’s glad I am to find that I’m
Not the only one who’s lost track of time.
)For many others have asked me—so—
“Where, in Nome, does the time go?”
We Must Encourage
Alaska’s Economic
Development
FAIRBANKS, (£> — Alaskans
were urged yesterday by Gover
nor Heintzleman to concentrate
their efforts on encouraging the
territory’s economic development.
Speaking at the opening of a
2-day conference of the Alaska
Chamber of Commerce, the gover
nor also urged work toward get
ting for the territory “a satisfac
tory share” of the predicted popu
lation growth of the United States.
For its best economic develop
ment, he said, Alaska should be
inducted in the federal aid road
act; federal regulations on muni
cipal bonded indebtedness should
be relaxed and adequate cheap
water transportation should be
developed in southeast Alaska.
Heintzleman said the Census
Bureau has predicted that the
population of the United States
will reach 200 million by 1970.
“We can be sure,” he added,
“that a satisfactory share of the
increase will come to Alaska if
we prepare for it by acquiring
good knowledge of the resources
we have here that can be devel
oped, and if we agressively tackle
problems that tend to discourage
private enterprise from coming to
Alaska. Citing what he described
as the amazing growth of north
ern Canada, the governor said Al
askans are failing to do something
to stimulate similar development
in the territory.
“We want to be sure,” he said,
“we all work on the same proj
ects at the same time—that is,
pinpoint our efforts on one or a
few projects at a time until we get
results and then move along to
something else that needs atten
tion or looks promising.”
He told the group that com
1 munities need to be free of the
federal b.onded indebtedness lim
itation to permit installation of
community facilities in advance of
the prospective population in
crease.”
