Fairbanks Goes To Bat For Nome
FAIRBANKS HAS GONE TO BAT for Northwest
ern Alaska in its fight to get a fair allocation of
highway funds for the 1961 fiscal year.
Nome has now not only a good neighbor to the
east but an ally in its fight for a fair deal in the
continuation of Highway 97.
Cut off by ground communication from the rest
•of the growing new state, it is heartening to the lead
ers of this community and surrounding villages to
know that the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce and
the influential Fairbanks News-Miner are adding their
support and combined efforts to show how biased and
unfair are the present plans for road building.
Any road connecting Nome to the network of
highways in the 49 states means more business for
all parts of Alaska and the Pacific Northwest through
which the traffic must travel. Any road building in
ithis area benefits the hub and the heart of the big
new state.
Fairbanks was first to answer our call for help
and it is hoped that our southeastern and south
western neighbors of the state will soon make it un
animous and demand a reappraisal so that this new
state shall not be divided by political pressures and
greed, but may grow through cooperation, unity and
fair play. What happens the first few years in Alaska
is important in its destiny as the greatest state of the
union. _

High Court to Review
Decision on Compulsory
Labor Union Membership
WASHINGTON, UP) — The Su
preme Court today agreed to re
view a decision that compulsory
union membership is unconstitu
tional if dues money is used for
political purposes without the
consent of the union members.
The decision was given by the
Georgia Supreme Court in a suit
by six employes of the Southern
Railway System.
It was appealed to the highest
tribunal by 15 unions.
Under union shop contracts,
employes are required to join
unions within a specified time.
The six Southern Railway Sys
tem employes said they did not
want to join unions and should
not be forced to pay dues when
part of the money was used to
[ support political candidates and
doctrines they opposed.

I"’"""
f TOKYO, UP) — Red China gave
clear new evidence Saturday that
! — despite the wishes of Soviet
j Premier ■ Khrushchev—it has no
intention of ending the cold war
I with the United States.
One of Peiping’s propaganda
mouthpieces, the newspaper Ta
Kung Pao, accused Washington of
aggressive plans against Com
munist China and rejected any
idea of renouncing the use of
force to settle the Formosa dis
pute.
A call for renouncing force or
war to solve international dis
putes was the keynote of the
communique issued after the
Camp David talks between Presi
dent Eisenhower and Khrushchev
late last month.
The Ta Kung Pao article charg
ed that U. S. far eastern policy
was one “of preparing for war
and launching aggression, antag
onizing China, interfering in its
internal affairs and occupying its
territory of Taiwan (Formosa).
This has been the theme of
high-ranking Red Chinese leaders
since the visit to Peiping of the
Soviet premier, who had, asked
the Mao Tze-Tung regime to join
him in a campaign to reduce ten
sions throughout the world.
Khrushchev left the Chinese
capital without any such commit
ment from Mao.
