RED REASONABLENESS
Let’s Vote Tomorrow ...
HPOMORROW EVERY ELIGIBLE voter in Nome
-i- should turn out and make a thoughtful and care
ful choice of the candidates he wishes to run the af
fairs of the city for the ensuing year.
There is no excuse for not voting and no excuse
for blind voting. Each person should weigh the quali
fications of each candidate and vote as his conscience
dictates after thorough reflection.
Voting is a privilege which should not be taken
lightly and persons who neglect to do so would put
up quite a fight if deprived of the right.
Nome is in need of many improvements which
can’t all be had at one time, but for which city plan
ning should be started. Improvements in safety, health,
cemetary, parks, parking, and schools need long
range planning. Pick the right men so that 1961 will
be an important year for our community.
We seek outside publicity. How proud we could
be to be able to say that Nome voters turn out one
hundred per cent. It can be done!
Missing 4-Year-Old Boy
Found in Shallow Ravine
WINTHROP, Iowa (At — The
body of 4-year-old Jimmie
Franck, missing from his farm
home near here nearly a month,
was found on the family farm
Saturday.
The body was discovered by the
first of a number of search
parties organized for an all-out
effort to find the body of the
boy, missing since shortly before
a heavy snowstorm struck the
area March 7.
The body lay in a small grass
filled ravine in a plowed field
about 70 rods west of the farm
house. Until the last few days
the field and ravine had been
covered by heavy snow.
Dr. John Loeck of Independ
ence, Buchanan County medical
examiner who was with the
searchers when the body was
found, said the lad had frozen to
death.

of the 39 deepest wells ever
drilled ended as dry holes.
Eastern Air Lines
Electra Comes In On
A Wing and Prayer
BOSTON UP* — “There wasn’t
a whisper. Everyone was waiting
to see what would happen.”
That was one passenger’s des
cription of the tension aboard an
Eastern Air Lines Electra Sun
day night as the big turbo-prop
plane with a damaged tire on
one of its nose wheels — slid
down for a safe landing on a
foam-slicked runway at Logan
! International Airport.
The plane carried 65 passengers
and a crew of 5.
The Electra apparently stripped
the tread from its left nose wheel
on takeoff from LaGuardia.
The big plane circled Boston
for 2 hours and 8 minutes to use
up fuel. The plane finally rolled
safely down the runway through
1,500 feet of foam.
Jane Stein, 18, of Scarsdale,
j N. Y., a pretty Boston University
freshman, burst off the plane
threw her arms around the first
man she saw, a reporter, and
kissed him soundly. “This is how
I feel,” she explained.
Soviets Propose 14-Nation Peace
Conference to End Civil W ar in Laos
MOSCOW (#* — The Soviet
| Union proposed Saturday an im
mediate 14-nation peace confer
ence to end the civil war in Laos
and agreed to join Great Britain
I in calling for a cease-fire.
' “The Soviet government takes
j a positive view of the proposal
! that the two co-chairmen (Britain
1 and the Soviet Union) of Geneva
| Conference which supervised the
| Indochina peace settlement in
; 1954 should call for a cease-fire
| in Laos,” said a Tass summary
j of a Soviet not handed to British
Ambassador Sir Frank Roberts
earlier Saturday.
“Accordingly, the parties con
cerned in Laos should come to
terms on a cease-fire.”
But the Soviet Union advised
leaving it up to the billigerents
to decide when to stop fighting
and did not specifically agree
with the British view that a
cease-fire must precede the con
ference.
However, the note said that Rus
sia agrees with Great Britain
on an early cessation of military
actions in Laos.
The Soviet government asked
for a peace conference early in
April in Phmon Penh, Cambodia,
to work out a peace settlement
and help in forming a new gov
ernment that would leave Laos
independent and neutral.
The note was published Satur
day night at the end of a busy
day which took Roberts to the
foreign office to get the Soviet
reply, after which U. S. Ambas
sador Thompson spent an hour
and a half in the Kremlin talk
ing the whole thing over with
Premier Khrushchev.

sia and the West have been going
on for more than a month, the
Soviet reply followed hard on the
heels of two vital international
conferences. One was the con
ference of SEATO in Bangkok in
which the United States and its
allies pledged themselves anew
to support Laos in maintaining
its independence. The second was
the conference in Moscow of
Warsaw pact powers which, al
though speaking mildly called for
an end of “bloody” imperialism
in Laos and other former colonial
areas.
The Russian note also proposed
that the Three-Nation Control
Commission — India, Canada and ,
Poland — set up seven years ago
for Laos at the end of the war j
in Indochina be reactivated. The I
Russians asked that it meet in 1
Delhi at once and report to the i
two co-chairmen of the Indochina
peace group, Britain and the So
viet Union.

GOPs Condemn
Demos Tax
Increase Proposals
JUNEAU 1.71 — The Republi
can minority today issued a state
ment of policy condemning Dem
ocratic tax increase proposals de
signed to provide surplus funds
for anticipated* lean years ahead.
The statement was signed by
minority leaders of the House
and Senate, Rep. Bruce Kendall
and Sen. John Coghill. It was
drawn up at a Republican caucus
this morning.
The statement read in part:
“The Republicans recognize the
$55.6 million budget proposed by
the Finance Committee is bal
anced to include a $2.4 million
surplus.
“But now the Democratic Ad
ministration and the Democratic
caucus are asking that we add
taxes to bring in an additional
$3.6 million and create a $6 mil
lion surplus.
“We contend it is not a proper
function of government to raise
taxes to increase an existing sur
plus. The purpose of government
is to maintain a balanced budget
and not to take taxpayers’ money
in advance of the time when it
is needed.
“The Republicans believe that
the present state expenditures
and taxes should be studied dur
ing the coming year.
“Then if the people decide that
super-state government is desir
able, we should evenly and fair
ly distribute the tax load at the
next session.
“The present last minute tax
increases threaten to ruin the
overage citizen, our industry and
our hopes for the future.”
