Visitors to Nome
Monday, the last day of August,
dawned bright but cool with a
stray breeze out of the northwest
as Wien-Alaska’s airplane, laden
with companionable and happy
passengers, landed at Nome Field.
The passengers were well pleased
with the Nomeward trip, having
seen the grim, bleak hills of Siber
ia, Big & Little Diomede Islands,
and Cape Prince of Wales.
King Island was also visable.
Several of the visitors met the
King Islanders in their village
store near Nome while on tour
through the city, while others
selected the narrow-gauge rail
road as the choice for sightseeing.
Harold C. Schaible, a Thomas
Cofok & Sons tour director, made
his second trip to Nome, his third
to Alaska this summer.
This Monday group came from
nine states. Among them were:
Dr. Fannie Sender and her
brother Phillip Sender, of New
York City; Mr. and Mrs. Harry O.
Searle, Hemet, Calif.; Lorraine D.
Skoglund, Grand Rapids, Mich.;
Mr. and Mrs. E. L. George, Mc
Alister, Okla.; Mr. and Mrs. Wil
liam E. Crawford, Wauwatosa,
Wise.; Mr. and Mrs. Charles D.
Streck, New York, both having
the time of their lives while on
Front Street; Mrs. Myrtle V. Reed,
Canton, Ohio; Christine Ander
son, Vegas, Wash.
Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Parmelee,
Los Angeles, are both sourdoughs,
having mined in Davidson, Ruby,
Ponrman, Teller, and have exam
ined mining ground in the Nome
area. Their son, Jack, a husky
young man, was well pleased with
his first visit to Nome.
Mr. Parmelee knows many of
the early-day gold mining person
alities throughout Alaska and is
well equipped to write interesting
stories of his own mining exper
iences. He would be interested in
buying a gold dredge if there were
a guarantee of a greater amount
of gold in the ground than wcaild
be the present day costs to re
cover it. Such a bargain not now
advertised for sale, they returned
to Califoria for another winter.
Another visitor of much local
interest is Mr. Walter Nielsen,
born in Alta, Norway, but now
celebrating his 50th anniversary
as a civil engineer of Wilmette,
111. Fifty-five years ago in his
home town in Norway he helped
load 750 Lapland reindeer aboard
^—
a steamer so that later they would
graze for mass growing on Seward
Peninsula, Alaska.
Mr. Nielsen recalls the names
of many of the 30 men who board
ed the reindeer-laden steamer,
eager to reach America. Many of
them landed in Nome, mined or
set up business, but none, on the
Front Street of today.
It is because of the memory of
these old acquaintances and
friends that Mr. Nielsen made
this trip to Nome. When he left
he said he was very happy to
have visited Nome and would
have liked to stay longer than the
alotted four hours.
Mr. Schaible’s (Cook tour dir
ector) departing goodbye was:
“Good luck and best wishes to
the people of Nome. Next week
Tuesday I’ll be teaching school.
What tales I’ll relate about the
sights I saw and the people I met
in Alaska this summer. Until next
year, keep warm!
Big Three Allies
Call On Russia For
Four-Power Talks
LONDON, Wn—The Big Three
Allies called on Russia Wednes
day to join an early four-power
conference of foreign ministers
on the future of Germany and
Austria.
Identical notes were sent by the
United States, Britain and France
suggesting the high level talks to
work out:
1. Arrangemnts for holding free
Germany-wide elections as an es
sential first step toward restoring
German unity and agreeing on a
final German peace settlement.
2. Final agreement on the long
promised Austrian treaty of inde
pendence which Russia has been
stalling.
Informants said the Allied notes
rejected Soviet Russia’s proposal
to set up a provisional all-German
government which would partici
pate in a German peace confer
ence to be held within six months.
The Soviets suggested also that
that free German-wide elections
should be follow the peace con
ference.
The American, British and
French notes made it clear that
the Allies believe the Soviet pro
posals for holding elections after
a peace settlement puts the cart
before the horse.
Total of Americans
Returned By Reds
Tops 3,000 Mark*
PANMUNJOM, Iff)—Another 100
happy Amedicans rolled through
Freedom Gate today, bringing to
more than 3,000 the number of
U.S. soldiers freed by the Commu
nists as the Korean War prisoner
exchange neared an end. .
These other developments high
lighted the 29th day of Operation
Big Switch:
1. A returning officer said 75
Americans who “confessed” to
germ warfare charges under re
lentless Red pressure would be
repatriated soon. He said the men,
mostly officers, were at Kaesong,
the Communist holding point
north of Panmunjom, and all ex
pect to be repatriated.
2. The sixth troopship carrying
liberated Americans sailed for the
United States from Inchon on
Korea’s west coast. With 440 men
aboard, the transport Gen. Black
is due in San Francisco about
Sept. 15.
3. An American corporal said to
be marked for death by returning
prisoners because he betrayed
them to the Reds, was reported to
have disappeared from a Tokyo
hospital. The soldier, identified
only as “Slick,” was freed three
weeks ago and had been sent as
a medical case to the hospital.
4. The U.N. Command, in an un
usual announcement, accused the
Communists of rigging interviews
between Allied POWs and visiting
Red Cross teams. The announce
ment quoted a returned Austral
ian officer as saying the Reds
to'ld him that he would not be re
patriated unless he gave “proper
answers” to Red Cross workers.
