YOUR Civil Air Patrol
Released by MAJ. F. S. RHODE, C.A.P. Coordinator, N. W. Alaska
Mission: Emergency
Communications Network
The objective of the Nome
Squadron in this field is to es
tablish a main Squadron control
station at the local headquarters,
serving as a coordination center
for stations in the Seward Penin
sula area.
Included in the planning is co
ordination with other communi
cation agencies, with the facilities
for emergency operations; such
agencies as the Bureau of Indian
Affairs, Alaska National Guard,
local MARS stations, etc., so that
no duplication of effort will be
necessary.
Currently, the Civil Air Patrol
has two stations in operation at
Nome. One is located at the Nome
Airport, in the home of one of
the Senior Squadron members.
The other is located in town at
the residence of the Squadron
Commander. Applications for
other stations in the area are now
in process.
Stations can be established
whenever and wherever any in
dividual with the proper equip
ment is interested in affiliating
with the Civil Air Patrol. Most
CAP stations utilize equipment
owned by the station operator.
Throughout the entire Civil Air
Patrol, over 12,000 stations are in
operation; some on short regular
schedules, others on a continuous
coverage basis, round the clock.
The problem of training person
nel for both operation and main
tenance of the electronic equip
ment depends upon sufficient
numbers of experienced Senior
members. Training programs both
for adults and Cadets are possible,
whenever sufficient numbers of
members are interested in organ
izing classes.
In communications, as well as
youth training and search and
rescue programs, the effectiveness
of the mission depends upon the
active participation of individuals
in the local communities; their
interest in becoming active Senior
Members of the Civil Air Patrol,
and contributing of their time and
efforts in the communications
field.
Anyone in the Nome area, with
interest or experience in the elec
tronics operational or mainten
ance fields are urged to contact
the Nome Squadron Commander.
Further information or appoint
ments may be made by calling
Main 165.
Hoffa Seeks to Oust
Monitor Jijdge
Letts as ‘Biased’
WASHINGTON, Wl—'Teamsters
Union President James Hoffa ar
oused District Judge F. Dickinson
Letts of personal bais and preju
dice in pressing a corruption
cleanup drive against the Team
sters.
Hoffa filed papers aimed at dis
qualifying Letts from any further
handling of the tangled legal case
involving an attempt by Letts-ap
pointed monitors to oust Hoffa
from the union’s leadership.
Letts, a former Republican Con
gressman from Iowa, will be 85
on April 26. That is the eve of
Hoffa’s scheduled ouster trial on
charges he misused union funds to
promote a Florida real estate ven
ture in which Hoffa had an in
terest.
Hoffa also is trying to block the
trial in other legal moves. Letts is
now on a Caribbean cruise.
Hoffa said Letts had a personal
bias and prejudice against him
but in favor of Chief Monitor Mar
tin F. O’Donoghue and Godfred
Schmidt, a formef monitor and
New York attorney who started
the 2Vfc-year-old legal snarl.
Hoffa said Letts fired another
monitor, Lawrence Smith, and
named an FBI agent, Terence Mc
Shane, who had been investigat-1
ing Hoffa and Teamsters affairs.
Hoffa claimed McShane also was
biased and prejudiced — some
thing he said Letts knew.

‘God Listens with Both
Ears’ As Clergy Conduct
Separate Ice Floe Services
By JAMES LeVEOUE
Fairbanks News Miner Writer
DRIFTING I C E STATION
BRAVO, (jTi — Friday on this
Arctic Ocean ice island, God must
have listened with both ears.
For, at the same time and
within 20 yards of one another, a
Methodist minister and a Catholic
priest were leading followers of
their particular faiths in Good
Friday services.
Shortly after the two blue-clad
Air Force chaplains landed on this
scientific study station in the Arc
tic Ocean 40 miles off Point Bar
row, the grinding routine day
came to a halt. Half a dozen Cath
olics gathered in one part of the
camp, a larger number of Protes
tants congregated a short distance
away.
Lt. Col. Ashley Jameson, staff
chaplain for the 11th Air Division
at Ladd AFB, unpacked a portable
aluminum altar and upon it placed
a silver crucifix. At the same time
the assistant staff chaplain from
the Alaska Air Command at El
mendorf AFB, Lt. Col. William
Powers, donned alb and stole to
lead Catholics in the way of the
Cross.
It was not a new experience for
either the two clergymen or for
the score of GIs and civilian scien
tists on the island. Since occupa
tion of Bravo began near the
North Pole in 1952, it has been
well served by the cloth.
First among them was the late
Father Thomas Cunningham, who
for a quarter century was a Jesuit
missionary to the Eskimos. Since
that time, Chaplain Jameson had
carried the major portion of spir
itual duties for the men on the
ice.
Good Friday’s trip was his
eighth jaunt; for Chaplain Powers,
the third.
An hour after the plane had
discharged the two clergymen, it
departed this four-by-nine-mile
sheet of ice for Fairbanks, 600
miles to the south. Within six
weeks or so, the men of this deso
late site will be isolated but for
radio and for air drops of mail
and supplies. The summer melt
makes the runway unfit for use.
But come fall’s cold and the
Christmas season, the men of
Bravo — currents may have car
ried them half way to the North
Pole by then — will again be vis
ited by Chaplains Jameson and
Powers, or by other men cut from
the same cloth.
TOKYO, W — The U. S. Afmy
reports it bought $211,774,733
worth of supplies and services
from Japan last year.
Riots Reported In
Far USSR Province
WASHINGTON, UPl — Word of
unrest in the Kadakh Republic of
the Soviet Union has reached dip
lomatic circles here.
One bloody riot is said to have
taken place last October in which
there reportedly were several
hundred casualties. Soviet troops
were sent in. after local authorities
were unable to quell the uprising.
Such reports sometimes take
months to reach Washington be
cause of the tight secrecy of the
Iron Curtain.
However, the Soviet press itself
has spoken of disturbances and
“interruptions in production” in
a province of Kazakhstan.
A series of riots and strikes
were said to have stemmed from
discontent with Moscow’s program
to impose speedy development on
industry and agriculture. The
workers want more things like
consumer goods and housing.
The republic, which lies north
of Iran and Afghanistan, is an im
portant area in Premier Khrush
chev’s drive for economic advance.
It has the most extensive remain
ing virgin land in the Soviet
Union.
There are more Russians and
Ukranians in Kazakhstan now
than there are natives.
The rioters were said to be
young construction workers an
gry over official neglect of their
needs. Local police were unable
to keep them under control.
