Now Is The Time
DR. JOE CUMMING has packed up his dental
equipment and has left to open a practice in
the Seattle area.
This does not leave Nome without a dentist,
however, as there is a Public Health dentist at the
MMM Hospital, who, nevertheless, is restricted to
caring for the teeth of the Eskimo people only.
With the departure of Dr. Cumming, it seems
to be a most opportune time to follow up Senator
Ernest Gruening’s appeal in Washington that- all
Public Health dentists and doctors in Alaska should
be allowed to care for anyone who needs their services.
Appropriate fees should be set up so that the taxpayers
who make it possible for the Public Health Service to
exist could be afforded the privilege of medical service
when needed.
In the Kotzebue and Nome area, residents should
not be penalized by having to transport their families
on expensive airplane trips for dental care, when well
qualified men are available within the communities.
It is urged that individuals, especially those with
families, make their opinions known to our Congress
men in Washington, as well as to local civic groups,
so that action may be taken immediately in this matter
which vitally affects the health and welfare of all of us.
Only The Champagne’s The Same
AS THE FIRST LADY smacked the bow of the
Nuclear Ship Savannah with the traditional
bottle of champagne last month, the first atomic mer
chant ship became perhaps the most important vessel
to be built in America since the days of the
Constitution.
Just as it was the proud duty of “Old Ironsides”
to lead in the establishment of respect for a new nation
on the high seas, so may the N.S. Savannah begin
restoration of the American merchantman to the pres
tige of clipper-ship days.
And, incidentally this vessel and the problems
involved in nuclear propulsion, may well mark the
emergence of marine designing from the bronze age
to that of stainless steel. This atomic age metal with
stands corrosion, the ravages of radioactivity and the
wear and tear o fpassengers and cargo.
The crew of 100 that will operate this 20 knot,
9,500 ton combination passenger and cargo vessel is
now in training, even though they will not be taking
the Savannah on her maiden voyage until sometime
next year.
Thus, in the N.S. Savannah, the world will see
not only the first merchant vessel to be liberated from
the fueling problem, but the first to be emancipated
from the centuries-old spit-and-polish routines.
Seafaring is going to be different — and how!

Gruening Stumps
For New Look in
Senate Chamber
WASHINGTON, Iff) — A new
flag behind the Vice President’s
rostrum and several architectural
changes in the Senate chamber
itself were urged Wednesday by*
Senator Ernest Gruening in rec
ognition of Alaska and Hawaii
statehood.
On July 28 during a Gruening
speech requesting that the big 43
star flag be replaced by the new
49 star emblem, Senator Barry
Goldwater (D-Ariz) noted that the
skylight over the Senate chamber
includes only 48 stars.
Gruening asked that the stars
around the eagle in the skylight
be increased to 50 in as much as
Hawai becomes a state this week.
“But there is another omission
which strikes me as even more
important,” Gruening continued.
He noted that a frieze around the
Senate walls contains only 46 stars,
omitting New Mexico and Arizo
na, which were admitted in 1912.
Gruening suggested this num
ber also be raised to 50 by re
placing rosettes on either side of
the motto “E Pluribus Unum”
and “In God we Trust,” thus ob
taining the needed additional four
stars.
The Alaskan described his sug
gestion a “minor but symbolically
important change in our Senate's
physical environment.”

Light Aftershocks, Heavy Showers
Delav Damage Search at Yellowstone
By TOM MADDOX
WEST YELLOWSTONE, Mont.,
uP) — Three light tremors jolted
the southwest Montana earth
quake area Wednesday night and
early Thursday. There was rto
damage. The shocks awakened
residents.
The shocks, coupled with a
drivng rain, hampered efforts of
searchers to renew the hunt for
possible additional victims of the
Monday night quake, which
touched off major landslides.
The tremors were the latest in
a series that bps continued since
\ the major shock and sent small
landslides down the mountain
slopes.
Ground parties, aided by skin
divers, want to search above and
below Hebgen Dam, hard hit in
the Monday night shocks.
Searching crews are made up
of men from the civil defense
organization, shqpff’s office, U. S.
Forest Service and volunteers.
They said they would not at
tempt to dig into the 50-million
ton landslide below Hebgen Dam
until the comparatively slight
tremors subside.
Bodies of eight quake victims
have been recovered from the
devastated mountains and can
yons. Reports from survivors in

dicate the toll may rise to 12.
They told of seeing a car with
a man and a woman and a
crippled boy buried by an ava
lanche.
A woman reported by Sheriff
Donald Skerritt to be missing and
presumed drowned was found
alive Wednesday night. Grace
Miller, about 60, whose lakeside
home was washed away in a wave
of water propelled by a land
slide, had walked 15 miles to a
ranch.
Other bodies are believed cov
ered by the landslide.
Skindivers are planning to go
into the lake when the muddy
water clears. They will check a
report that two persons drowned
in a car submerged in dirt and
water.
All of the known survivors —
about 300 — have been moved
out of the quake area. Some roads,
buckled and twisted by the quake,
have been made passable by the
use of bulldozers.
Many highways in the western
part of Yellowstone National
Park were blocked by landslides
and the damage there was ex
pected to run into the millions of
dollars.
