ONE STANDS OUT
Mr. K. Unable
Soften China’s
Attitude To U.S.
By JOHN RIDERICK
TOKYO, — Nikita Khrush
chev neared the climax of his Red
China visit Saturday as his Chi
nese hosts waxed hot and cold
over his proposals for easing the
cold war.
A few hours after the Soviet
Premier’s fourth meeting with 65
year-old Red Chinese leader Mao
Tze-Tung, the official People’s
Daily carried a lead editorial say
ing the Communist world “ac- j
corded warm response and sup- j
port” to the communique the So- j
viet Premier jointly issued with
President Eisenhower after his
historic 13-day visit to the United
States. That document stressed
the renunciation of force in set
tling international quarrels.
The United States has sought
without success to have Peiping
say it will abandon force as a
means of acquiring the island of
Formosa, now ruled by Mao’s
arch enemy, Chiang Kai-Shek.
Should the Chinese Commun
ists do so, it would be a signifi
cant move in improving their re
lations with Washington.

VLADISVOSTOK SHIPYARDS
MOSCOW, UP) — Premier Nikita
Khrushchev visited the Dalzavod
ship repair yards at Vladisvostok
today, the news agency Tass re
ported. Khrushchev flew to that
big Siberian naval base Sunday
from Peiping, where he attended
Red China’s 10th birthday cele
bration. The Tass dispatch gave
no indication of when he will re
turn to Moscow.

said after Khrushchev arrived in
Peiping Wednesday he welcomed
the communique. •
But Friday’s People’s Dailj
gave equal space to the reprinl
of an article by Foreign Ministei
Chen Yi which called an “all
people to wage a long and unre
lenting fight against Americar
imperialism.”
The article was written for the
Soviet newspaper Izvestia in hon
or of Red China’s 10th anniver
sary celebration Oct. 1. It gave
little or * no encouragement tc
hopes Peiping* was prepared tc
soften its attitude toward the
United States.

Visitor Records Vivid Recollection of
Tourist’s Picture of Nome, Kotzebue
COLLEGE — A step back sev
eral decades in history is the ef
fect Nome had upon Danny
Pierce, nationally noted artist
now in residehce at the Universi
ty of Alaska.
The famed printmaker is visit
ing Native and white communities
throughout the 49th State, and the
following is his impression of
two of the most northwesterly —
Nome and Kotzebue:
“Our first impressions of Nome
and Kotzebue were made over
the weekend of August 29, 30 and
31. We had hope in our hearts the
weather would favor two new
comers — it did.
The sun was shining as we
landed at the Nome airport. The
afternoon was spent getting ac
1 quainted with the new surround
' ings.
“The first thought that hit me
was that I had stepped back in
history several decades, and as we
were walking down the board
; walks along the dirt streets, and
past the false front buildings, we
might conceivably expect to meet
Matt Dillon, U. S. marshal.
“Another thing I felt immedi
ately was the quietness and un
hurried atmosphere that seemed
to settle over visitors. It was an
empty street, Nome’s Front Street.
Empty except for a road construc
tion crew grading, leveling, water
ing (the last in spite of all the
rain). I was surprised to learn the
street was getting black-topped.
Why—? There weren’t many auto
mobiles in evidence.
Then, that evening, when the
ridges of gravel were leveled and
the road grader retired for the
night, we suddenly found it un
safe to cross Front Street. Vehi
cles of every description came
roaring along the graveled road.
It seemed every Nomeite owned
a car, and all were converging
on Front Street.
“We met Mr. Boyd Harwood,
Nome’s druggist, and he invited
us to spend • the evening at his
home. He showed us slides of the
King Islanders’ home on their is
land. These slides gave us another
facet of the lives that visitors
don’t usually get from seeing the
King Islanders’ summer encamp
ment south of Nome.
“It was very interesting to ob
serve the mingling of natives and
foreigners (the latter the whites)
in this settlement. Our hotel room
overlooked Front Street, and we
spent time observing from our
lookout.
“The people we met were very
friendly and courteous. I was
wishing we could stay longer.
“When leaving for Kotzebue, we
.were offered a chance to take a
bush flight in a small Twin Beech
craft plane, and were able to see
much of the terrain, beautiful in
early fall colors.
“Kotzebue — a musical sound
ing name — a name that en
ticed us toward the town the mo
ment we read it on the map. This
town is the complete opposite of
Nome. Here the ‘foreigners’ stand
out like thistles in a bed of prize
petunias. We walked the beach,
side of the village from one end
to the other many times, just
watching.
“Sunday evening we attended
services in the Episcopal Church.
We were the only outsiders. I’ve
never heard more enthusiastic
singing of hymns in my life. These
people enjoy music.
“We left the area with the
wish that nothing will happen to
change the delightful atmosphere.”

NEW SHAPE IN TV
I ' , / , a!
ir w
The first change in television picture tube shape in nearly 10 years
is incorporated in the 1960 Sylvania television sets just introduced.
The sets are equipped with square-cornered, 23-inch picture tubes
which give the viewer more of the television picture as the studio
camera transmits it.
Containing 2b-square inches '
more viewable area than smaller
21-inch sets, the new models
make viewing easier, pictures
clearer and bigger, and cabinets
slimmer.
Aside from its shape, the new
picture tube also brings some
other innnovations which will
make viewing more jsleasant. It
eliminates the external safety
plate that now has to be placed
in front of the picture tube. By a
new process, Sylvania bonds, the
safety glass right to the front of
the picture tube, making it the
safest picture tube ever pro
duced.
Because the faceplate is affixed
permanently and directly to the
tube, two dust-catching surfaces
r 1 —
are eliminated, minimizing re
flections and giving a brighter,
easier-to-view picture.
The sets, currently in volume .
production, include table and con
sole models and are-priced com
parably with current ‘21-inch
sets.
Robert L. Shaw, President of
Sylvania Home Electronics
Corp., said most sets sold in
America within the next year
will be in the 23-inch category.
“The visible value of this new
tube needs no explanation,” he
said. “A 23-second demonstra
tion of this new tube against
older versions is all that is neces
sary to see the distinct differ
ence.”
