Demonstrations
And Riots Erupt
Again In Poland
VIENNA, (jfl—A Polish newspa
per says demonstrations and riots
erupted in Poland while Poland's
Communist Party chief was in
Moscow negotiating on future
Polish-Soviet relations.
The newspaper Express Wies
zome received here said disorders
occurred Sunday at Bromberg. It
said students and young workers
set fire to the city’s radio station
and then fought off police and
fire brigades.
This account of trouble con
trasted with dispatches from War
saw which said the Polish Com
munist chief, Wladyslaw Gomul
ka, was greeted by cheering
crowds on his journey from Mos
cow back to Warsaw.
Political observers here said,
however, there was no doubt that
riots broke out after the an
nouncement that the new agree
ment between Gomulka and the
Kremlin leadership did not in
clude provisions for the with
drawal ofr Soviet troops from Po
land.
Hungarian Revolt
Still Lives Despite
Return of Workers
VIENNA, UP)—More Hungarian
workers returned to their jobs
Radio Budapest said Tuesday. But
the revolt against Russian sub
jection which exploded four
weeks ago still lived.
Nep Szabadsag, official news
paper of Premier Janos Kadar's
government, recognized the popu
lar demand for independence. It
expressed the hope the Soviet
Union would “respect the oft
expressed wish of the Hungarian
people to live independently and
according to its own will.”
Radio Budapest said four tex
tile works had started production.
Several others were idle because
of the lack of power or chemicals.
Reliable reports from Budapest
said many workers continued to
refuse to work while the Russians
remained in the city a'id former
Premier Imre Nagy remained a
refuge in the Yugoslav embassy.
Nep Szabadsag expressed some
misgivings about the Polish -
Soviet agreement to maintain
Russian troops in Poland. The
paper said this development
could be “disturbing” since it
could “give rise to the fear that
the Soviet Union might insist on
similar conditions in our case.”

Up to Nome to Make City Attractive
Enough to Draw Tourists—Whaley
"The Alaska Visitors Associa
tion cannot put tourists in Nome.
We can sell them a trip to Alaska
but it is up to the people of Nome
to make this area attractive
enough to draw the tourists here.”
This was a statement made b$
Frank Whaley, former Nomeite
and now managing director of
AVA, who gave a detailed report
on the activities of AVA to the
members of the Northwestern
Alaska Chamber of Commerce at
the Tuesday luncheon meeting.
Major points of his report were
emphasized by large posters giv
ing pertinent data on just how the
AVA funds are being spent.
The promotional work is under
the supervision of professional
agents so that maximum results
are realized. The first step is in
ternal promotion to convince Alas
kans of the tourist potential in
the territory.
In the States, advertising is in
cluded in radio and television
shows and in newspapers and
magazines. In this connection,
Whaley mentioned that the ad in
the January issue of Holiday mag
azine will show a picture of pan
ning gold in Nome.
This year, 35,000 welcome let
ters signed by Gov. Heintzleman
were handed to visitors to Alaska
this year, together with lapel
buttons and bumper stickers
which proved very popular.
Over 7,000 persons returned the
inquiry card also inclosed in the
welcome letter giving the AVA
valuable information as to the
visitors’ home states, kinds of
transportation, size of traveling
groups and the original source of
their interest in Alaska.
The “Alaska Trade Manual”
was hent to 2,500 major travel
agents all over the world to facili
tate their work in selling Alaska
to their customers. A handsome
color folder, “Discover Alaska”
has proved popular and AVA has
received requests for 200,000 of
them to be distributed at conven
tions and other large gatherings.
As the budget allows, AVA
hopes to fill all these requests.
Travel to Alaska increased 25
percent this year, especially by
car, with the visitors spending
$15 million in the territory. The
last legislature set aside $100,000
for national advertising, but in
order to draw this amount, $50,
000 must be collected by subscrip
tion. One-fourth of the amount
collected in Nome will be re
turned to this community for lo
cal promotional work.
The Chamber Board has gone
on record as supporting the AVA.
A committee consisting of Don
Hungerford, Chuck Frazier, Rev,
Mecklenburg, and Boyd Harwood,
witlj Jim Walsh as chairman, will
conduct the fund raising drive
here.
Guests at the Tuesday meeting
included Mike Walsh, Charles D.
Jones, Spencer Strand, and Ever
ett Bachelder.
Adlai Stevenson Says
Many Southerners
Should Decide on Party
RIDGELAND, S. C., Adlai
Stevenson says "It’s about time
that a lot of people in the South
decided whether they are Demo
crats or Republicans.”
The defeated Democratic presi
dential candidate interrupted a
hunting vacation here yesterday
to attack Republican foreign pol
icy. He charged the GOP has no
effective policy for handling So
viet expansion in the Middle East.
“I have warned for three years,”
Stevenson told newsmen, “that
the Eisenhower - Dulles foreign
policy has headed for disaster and
I wish I thought the administra
tion had, even at this late date,
some policy for restoring allied
unity in the Middle East.”
Stevenson noted the strong
backing given the Republicans in
the South in the recent election
and said the people of the South
must decide to which party they
belong.
“If they are Republicans,” Ste
venson declared, “they should
candidly say so and work for that
party. If th<jy are Democrats, then
they should return to that party
and be a part of it.”
Health & Safety Center
Wasn’t Safe Yesterday
COLUMBUS, Ohio, (Jt-The
city's health and safety center
was not exactly safe or healthy to
be around for a time yesterday.
William Vanderson, mainte
nance man, said the fuel oil “just
didn’t look right” as 6,000 gallons
was pumped from an oil company
truck into the center's heating
unit. He sniffed the fluid, then
dashed madly around the center,
turning off valves.
The oil company later admitted
it made a mistake in the delivery.
Oh, yes. That wasn’t fuel oil
being pumped into the building.
It was gasoline.

Doctors Order Rest for Prime Minister
Eden Because of ‘Severe Overstrain’
-<
All Switzerland Pays
3 Minutes Silent Homage
To Freedom Fighters
GENEVA, WV-A11 Switzerland
stood in three minutes’ silent
homage Tuesday to the freedom
fighters of Hungary.
Throughout the country, all
traffic came to a standstill and
pedestrians stood silently just be
fore noon. AH postoffices and
other public offices closed their
counters and radio stations inter-1
rupted their programs.
The demonstration originated
with a committee of Roman Cath- j
olic and Protestant churchmen. |
Churches of all denominations i
throughout the country rang their
bells for five minutes to launch
the silent period.
A few drivers in Geneva and
Zurich, presumably Communist
sympathizers, tried to ignore the
standstill but did not get far. The
roads were jammed with standing
traffic so even the Communists
had to wait.

1 LONDON, Of) — R. A. Butler,
No. 2 man in the British govern
ment, presided over a cabinet
meeting Tuesday in place of ail
ing Prime Minister Eden. Eden's
doctors have ordered him to rest
because of “severe Overstrain.”
The mere fact that Eden was
ordered to take it easy at a time
when Britain faced some of the
hardest questions to come out of
the prolonged Middle East crisis
led to speculation — without ahy
official foundation—that his time
as prime minister is nearing an
end.
Eden has been under heavy fire
ever since his decision to join
with France in invading Egypt
two weeks ago. The Opposition
Labor Party was vigorously call
ing for his resignation.
There have been sortie minor
defections in his own Conserva
tive Party. Despite the fact Eden
has won half a dozen erUcirtl con
fidence votes in Parliament, there
have been persistent reports that
even deeper cracks exist in the
Conservative ranks.
The news of Eden's illness came
too late for Comment by TietVs
papers which have opposed him
at home. But in Paris, the after
noon newspaper France Soir con
cluded Eden was suffering a dip
lomatic illness — often the first
step in the removal of a political
leader.
