Soviet Union
Cracks Down on
4 Top Architects
MOSCOW, UP\—The Soviet Union
has cracked down on four of its
top architects, including Alexan
der V. Vlasov, who now is com
pleting an inspection tour of home
building techniques in the United
States.
The government says the na
tion’s builders have been wasting
money on ornate decoration and
skyscrapers and disregarding the
needs of the people for housing.
Vlasov, who is president of the
Academy of Architects of the So
viet Union, was stripped of his
government decorations and dis
missed as chief architect of Mos
cow. The same action was taken
against D. N. Chechulin.
Announcing the dismissals on
Wednesday night, a government
statement said two other nation
ally known architects, Polykov
and Boretsky, were deprived of
their Stalin Prize laureates.
A spokesman for the Academy
of Architects said Vlasov was still
president of the organization.
(Vlasov was in New York with
the other members of the 10-man
Russian housing delegation when
news of the dismissal was re
ceived.)

New Inquiry Asked
Into Death Cause
Of Emmett Till
GREENWOOD, Miss., OPI—An!
official of the National Assn, for
the Advancement of Colored Peo
ple wants to know what happened
to Emmett Louis Till, the 14-year
old Chicago Negro boy who dis
appeared Aug. 28 in Mississippi;
But a county prosecurtor says he
considers the case closed.
A LeFlore County grand jury
Wednesday declined to indict the
white halfbrothers Roy Bryant, 24,
and J. W. Milam, 36, on charges of
kidnaping Till from the cabin of
his sharecropper uncle.
Less than a month ago, a trial
jury in a neighboring county
found the two half-brothers inno
cent of murdering Till on grounds
there was reasonable doubt about
identification of a battered body
pulled from the Tallahatchie Riv
er.
“The question now arises,” said
executive secretary Roy Wilkins
of the NAACP in a statement in
New York yesterday, “since Mis
sissippi jurors have determined
that Milam and Bryant did not
kidnap and murder young Till,
who did commit the crimes?”
Wilkins said the grand jury ac
tion, which cancelled $10,000
bonds posted by the two men,
“comes as no surprise to anyone
acquainted with the administra
tion of justice in Mississippi.”
Till’s mother, Mrs. Mamie Brad
ley of Chicago, commented “Just
about everything has run out on
me now. I don’t know what to
say. I don’t see how they could
fail to indict those men.”
Wood Pulp Industry
Climaxes ‘Phenomenal’
Growth Since \\ar
BELLINGHAM, UPV—1The head
of the Puget Sound and the Ketch
ikan Pulp Companies says “this
year’s growth of the American
wood pulp industry climaxes a
phenomenal growth in the post
war period.” He cited these fig
ures:
Output of U.S. mills is 14 per
cent above the same period a year
ago and consumption is up 13
percent. The U.S. has bolstered its
position as a world supplier by ex
porting 430,000 tons in the nine
month period, compared with
298,000 tons a year ago.
Imports rose from 1,500,000 tons
to 1,626,000, with imports from
Canada up and imports from the
Scandinavian countries down.
Domestic production and con
sumption have almost doubled in
the last decade.

Nome Volunteers
Will Undertake j
ChristmasProject
At a recent meeting of the
Nome Volunteer Fire Depart
ment is was decided that the
group would undertake a com
munity project of lighting up
Front Street during Christmas
season. In past years this group
has erected a large Christmas
tree at the intersection of Front
Street and Lanes Way. Now we
wish to go a bit further in fos
tering the spirit of Christmas
and helping to make our city a
bit more attractive at this sea
son. We will also erect a tree on
Front Street again this year.
Within a short while, mer
chants and business people will
be approached by members of
the Volunteer group for dona
tions toward this cause. If suf
ficient funds are raised this
year, it will not be necessary to
ask for more funds in the fu
ture. It is planned to place 15
strings of lights across Front
Street from the foot of Stead
man Avenue to the foot of “B”
Street. The approximate cost of
this project is $1,000.
The Volunteers will erect the
lights, maintain them, and then
remove and store them after
New Years. We feel this is a
worth-while project and should
earn the support of the citizens
in making Nome more festive
at the holiday season.
Already one donation of $20
has been received and we feel
we are off to a good start. Any
individual wishing to make a
donation may feel free to leave
it at the fire station or mail it
to the Nome Volunteer Fire
Department.

Appeals Court Ruling
Balks NLRB Effort
WASHINGTON, W—The U. S.
Court of Appeals reaffirmed yes
terday an earlier ruling that a
union cannot be denied collective
bargaining benefits on the ground
that a union official filed a false
non-Communist affidavit.
The ruling balked efforts of the
NLRB to take away the “compli
ance status” of the International
Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter
workers under the Taft-Hartley
law.
The appellate court cited an
earlier decision in which the court
held that the NLRB cannot deny a
union collective bargaining bene
fits even though union members
are aware of the falsity of a non
Communist affidavit filed by a
union official.
Hormone Helps the Aged
Life is lasting longer for most Americans. While this is a happy
reflection of better living conditions it also means that the percentage
of “older” persons in the population is increasing.
Unfortunately science gave little attention in the past to ways and
means of making the older years productive and fruitful.
Starting almost from “scratch 1
medical men now are seeking new
drugs, foods and nutritional sup
plements that will stave off those
dreaded symptoms of aging—loss
of memory, lack of interest in sur
roundings, physical breakdown.
One discovery, a hormone called
stanolone, has just been announced
by the U.S. Department of Health,
Education and Welfare.
Dr. Nathan Shock, who directed
the research, reports that stano
lone injections in elderly men re
sulted in marked improvement,
both in mental attitudes and in
physical well being. Apparently
the body tissues in old age respond
to this hormone.
Its action is somewhat similar
to a cerebral tonic called L-Gluta
vite which has been used for the
past year to aid the mental proc
esses of the aged
Although stanolone shows great
promise. Dr. Shock warns that a
great deal more experimentation
is necessary before it can be used
on a wide scale.
“This work," cautions Di Shock,
“should not be interpreted as en
dorsement for wide administration
of such hormones.”
The drug is not ideal for elderly
people because of certain reactions
and because it must be adminis
tered by injection However, Dr.
Shock is of the firm belief that
continued work will eventually
bring forth another hormone for
the aged superior to stanolone.
In any^case the scientific search
is one and if medical science runs
true to form great advances in
gerontology—the study of aging—
may be expected in the future.
