New Airport To Be
Built at Shishmaref
Proposals are being requested
from all engineering firms in the
Territory of Alaska for complete j
engineering on an airport project
at Shishmaref. The deadline for
receiving proposals will be June J
6, 1958 at which time these will
be reviewed in the offices of the
Department of Aviation, Room
202 Glover Building, Anchorage, I
Alaska.
The engineering work to be
accomplished is to be completed
by January I, 1959. The project
proposed at Shishmaref calls for
the construction of a landing strip
2,200 ft. in length.
Shishmaref is a small com
munity located north of Nome
on the Seward Peninsula and
has a population of approximate
ly 200 people. Construction of
an airport at Shishmaref would
complete a route structure for the
delivery of mail and passenger
service from Nome.
though the Rotary Club is spon
soring the program, all organi
zations and businesses in the
city are cooperating and it is
felt that the residents will also
work towards making this a
completely successful clean-up.
Mr. Harwood said that vehicles
are being donated by business
persons and government agen
cies and the city has set aside
$2,500 for labor costs. Anyone
wanting special help to move
large pieces of machinery, etc.
are asked to call the City Hall
next week. Carl Liebig will take
these calls.
Mr. Glavinovich said that the
road to the dumping area, be
yond No. 5 dredge, will be clearly
marked for those who want to
haul their own trash. The clean
up committee is working towards
a permanent dumping site that
can be covered over, so that the
beach can be cleaned for the
enjoyment of all Nome residents.
The North Star management
asked the Chamber members to
pay for their Monday lunches as
they come in, to help eliminate
the congestion at the door after
the meetings.

Ike Sees No Need For
Tax Cut Since Slump
Appears About Over
WASHINGTON, UP) — Presi
dent Eisenhower said today he
believes the recession has large
ly spent itself.
America is weathering it well,
he told a news conference at
which he explained his stand
against tax cuts.
Eisenhower said the current
economic situation does not war
rant any reductions that would
create further deficit spending.
The first question to Eisen
hower was a request that he ex
plain why he came out earlier
this week against any general
tax cut—any, as the reporter put
it, anti-recession reduction.
Bristling a bit, Eisenhower
said it looked to him as though
the newsman was asking a loaded
question. The President said he
is not sure that any tax cut could
be pictured as an anti-recession
move.
As he has done many times in
the past, the President said the
tax situation has been a matter
for careful and intense study.
And, he went on, he finally de
cided that as of now the eco
nomic situation does not warrant
any reduction beyond already
proposed relief for small business.

Phi. Picnic refreshments were

Oil Dock Fire At Whittier
Causes $200,000 Damage
WHITTIER, W) — A fire at the
port of Whittier petroleum dock
yesterday caused loss unofficial
^ ly estimated at $200,000. No one
was injured.
The fire apparently started
from a blow torch being used in
a repair operation on the end
of the diesel fuel oil line.
A fire truck was standing by
as a precaution at the place
where the welding was being
done and went into action. Af
ter the fire started there was
a small explosion believed to
have occurred at the end of the
fuel line. Three tug boats and
fire engines confined the blaze
to a small area.
No tankers were tied up at the
dock.
Whittier is on Prince William
Sound about 51 miles southeast
of Anchorage. The Army uses
the port to unload supplies for
its nearby Alaskan bases.
