German Doctor Pays
Nome a Brief Visit
Dr. Hans Maissoner of Munich,
Germany visited in Nome briefly
while on tour of the State of
Alaska. Dr. Massioner is seeing
more of Alaska than most Alas
kans, as he plans to write a book
for the German (people on the
great new state. He finds there
is little written material in book
form that condenses the vast (po
tential and the completely dif
ferent parts of the state for people
of other countries to read. He is
also doing articles for a Ger
man magazine called “Quick”
which is similar to our Look
magazine.
Dr. Maissoner compared Ger
many to Alaska in its geographi
cal position in case of Russian
inspired atomic war and was
amazed at the lack of concern
of the Alaskan peaple and the
complacency in which they ac
cept the possibility.

Civil Defense Director
And Mayor Go
Round and Round
Mayor Roscoe Wilke, before
noon, announced to the Nugget
the appointment of Del Kamp
mann as head of Civil Defense
for Nome.
In a statement to the press re
leased at 1 o’clock this after
noon Les Bronson leveled a blast
at Mayor Wilke charging that the
mayor was derelict in his duty
to the citizens of Nome in regard
to Civil Defense.
Mr. Bronson has been Civil
Defense director here for sever
al years, having been named to
the position by then-tMayor Steve
Anderson.
Bronson further stated that he
approached Mayor Wilke last
spring and offered to resign to
allow the mayor to appoint his
own CD director. He said he had
heard no more about the matter
and assumed he was to continue
as CD director.
Bronson further charged that
the mayor refused or neglected
to appoint a council member to
represent the city at the weekly
CD meetings now being held.
It was apparent from Bron
son’s statement that at the time
he was not aware that a new
director had been named.
In an interview with Del Kamp
manti this afternoon, following
the mayor’s announcement, he
stated that he has not officially
accepted the position which has
been offered him.
