UNITED NATIONS DAY
United Nations Day, October 24, is perhaps the
only occasion which is observed today on a global
basis, cutting across national boundaries, erasing re
gional differences of culture, race, religion and lan
guage, and merging a vast segment of humanity in
dedication to the cause of peace, human dignity and
welfare.
On U.N. Day, in the minds and hearts of men and
women everywhere, there will be one single, over
riding thought—the thought of world peace, and there
will be one single, compelling question: What can the
United Nations do to achieve it? As we meet in the
General Assembly, we know—each of us—that both
as individuals and representatives of sixty govern
ments, this question is directed to us. As we search
for the answer we must give, we become conscious
of the immensity of the responsibility which is upon us.
The world around us, with its wars and rumors
of war:', its sufferings and distress, its tensions and
strains, warrants no easy optimism that the U.N. will
succeed in saving '‘succeeding generations from the
scourge of war.” It demands, however, that we do our
best, with honesty and endeavor, to avert this supreme
disaster.
In the United Nations we have an instrument to
help us in this task. It is our duty to use it well, to
use it responsibly, and to use it unselfishly.
PROCL AMATIO N
I, Sleffen Andersen, Mayor of
the Ciiy of Nome, proclaim this
23rd day of October, 1954, as
UNITED STATES DAY, with this
community in collaboration with
every community in the United
States furthering a nation-wide
rebirth of patriotism under the
display of one flag—THE FLAG
OF THE UNITED STATES.

Most Unusual Blizzard
In Anchorage Confirms
Fears of Texas Team
ANCHORAGE, MV— Note to
Huntsville, Texas:
Remember how irked Anchor
age sports fans and civic leaders
were last week when Huntsville
canceled plans for sending its
high school football team here for
a game this Saturday because of
blizzard fears?
What blizzard? The slander
conscious Alaskans asked.
Your crystal ball was working
pretty well. There was seven inch
es of snow on the football field
Thursday.
But Anchorage would like to set
one point real straight: This is
really UNUSUAL weather for this
time of year.

Democrats’ Sweep Seen
As Result of Ike’s Attitude,
McKay’s Remarks, Etc.
(Continued from Page 1)
Democrats worked as an organ
ized group.”
Reason for Discontentment
The- Ketchikan Daily Chronicle:
“For Alaska there is reason to be
discontented. Statehood ambitions
have been mercilessly sidetrack
ed. Appropriations were cut twice
as much for Alaska as for the
states, at least in the Interior De
artment. The Secretary of Inter
ior came up and insulted Alaskans
to their face . . . The Democrats
are fortunate that they did not
have the responsibility of gov
ernment these last two years.
They might not have done too
well themselves.”
Rep. Dorothy Prior, a defeated
Anchorage Republican legislator:
“Sabotage has been going on
within the Republican party. I
was told 15 months ago by a sup
porter of a defeated local gover
nor candidate that they were
going to defeat the Republicans
in order to show the national ad
ministration it was wrong in ap
pointing Gov. Heintzleman.”
The post-mortens lead a non
partisan observer to cogitate on
just how accurate that “As Al
aska goes, so' goes the nation"
adage may be in 1954. The array
of political comments indicate a
belief by Alaskans that the out
come was decided on points which
more than in most recent elec
tions, were basically Alaskan.

Nixon Claims—
Truman Admin.
Had Plans For
Socializing U. S.
CHICAGO, (IP!—The Truman Ad
ministration, says Vico President
Nixon, had prepared “a virtual
blueprint for socializing America”
when the Eisenhower Adminis
tration took office,in 1953.
The blueprint, Nixon said in an
address Wednesday night, would
have added “40 billion dollars to
the national debt between 1952
and 1956.”
He said it called for socializing
medicine, housing, agriculture,
water and power, “but most dis
turbing of all, socializing of Am
erica’s greatest source of power—
atomic energy.”
“We found the proof that this
was the case when we came to
Washington on Jan. 20, 1953,” he
said.
“In the files was a virtual blue
print for socializing America, in
cluding spending plans for adding
40 billion dollars to' the national
debt between 1952- and 1956.”
Nixon said if the blueprint
found “in the files,” had been
carried out it “would have led
the nation straight down the road
our British friends have taken—
to socialism.”
He said that putting the blue
print into operation would have
added “thousands of new bureau
crats" to' federal payrolls and the
American consumer, worker and
businessman would have been
tied into' knots by the resultant
miles of red tape and controls.”

Adm. Stump Says
Commie Warships
Seen in Pacific
PEARL HARBOR, UR—Commu
nist warships have been contacted
in the Pacific but have showed no
hostile intent, the commander-in
chief of the U.S. Pacific fleet said
Wednesday.
Adm. Felix B. Stump declared
at a news conference that none of
the Communist warships or sub
marines had acted in a hostile
manner. He didn’t identify the
Communist craft but he obviously
referred to Russia.
The admiral indicated the Com
munist vessels which he said have
been sighted throughout the Pa
cific were unaware that they had
been seen, thus suggesting the
contacts were made by U.S. sub- |
marines.
“We constantly observe move
ments of vessels in different parts
of the Pacific, submarines and
various types of craft whom we
have identified as Communists,”
Stump said.
His remarks followed a two-day
conference between Stump and
the commanders of Navy forces
from the Far East, Japan, the
Philippines, the West Coast and
Hawaii.
Rear Adm. George L. Russell,
commander of submarine forces
in the Pacific, said his underseas
craft were in “good shape" to
meet any possible- trouble.
Rear Adm. Burton Biggs, com
mander of Service Force, Pacific,
said the Navy’s supply and auxil
iary craft were prepared to sup
port fighting ships “with no gap
or lag.”
