Upholstery
Workshop to Be
Set Up In Nome
There have been a number of
inquiries concerning the possi
bility of having an upholstery
workshop n Nome, stated Jean
Burand, University of Alaska Dis
trict Home Demonstration agent.
Mrs. Burand said: “Now that
we have a place for such a work
shop, it is possible to make plans
for it. Rev. Maakestad, of the
Lutheran Church, says we are
w’elcome to use the old quonset,
now behind the church. This is
ideal since it is large enough
for several pieces to be worked on
at once, has electricity and will
not be used for other purposes
'between classes.
“I feel that I must caution those
of you who have never had any
experience in re-upholstering that
there is a good deal of plain hard
work involved. Also, if you are
going to put a lot of effort into
a project, you will wish to ob
tain good material with which to
work, so the cost for a chair will
probably be about $25 and up. If
each of you who are interested
will phone me, I will be glad to
prepare a list of the tools and ma
terials that are needed, and to
assist with estimating yardage
requirements. Then we can all
get together and decide when
would be the best time for such
classes. I would suggest twenty
hours of work as a minimum for
completing single chairs. Of
course a davenport would take
more time and additional mater
ials. It is a very good idea for
two people to team together for
upholstery work as there are many
times when four hands are neces
sary. Thus, the two could work
together on first one item of
furniture, and when that is well
along the way, or finished, start
on the second project.
Mrs. Burand concluded: “Do
not feel that the chair must be
in presentable shape. It is cer
tainly advisable to choose a good
strong chair — but it will be
stripped down to its bare bones,
so don’t worry about holes, dirt
and grime. Restyling is sometimes
quite easy, and most effective.
Don’t start taking your furniture
apart until class time. And, if you
just must start the demolition
phase of the project, be sure to
save ALL the pieces, and mark on
them clearly whether they have
come from: the left arm, the
right back, of just what part of
the original cover each piece is.
This will be the pattern.”
Residents of Texas City
Drink Converted Seawater
FREEPORT, Tex. UP) — Free- j
port residents have learned that
they have been drinking con
verted seawater. The first 500,- j
000 gallons from the recently
completed Saline Conversion
Plant was pumped into the water
system of this city of nearly 12,000
population May 31.
The water, the first from the
government’s eight planned
plants, was tested extensively by
city and state health officials
prior to its use.
“The water passed all health
requirements,” said City Manager
Bill Blackwell in making the an
nouncement Monday.

Witness Testifies He Was
Forced to Extract Gold
Teeth from Jewish Victims
JERUSALEM t/P> — A young
i Jew told the Eichmann trial court
yesterday that at 13 he was forced
to extract the gold teeth from
bodies of gassed victims in the
Ghelmno concentration camp.
Simon Srebnik, a Polish-born
mechanic now in Israel, testified
'he saw an average of 1,200 Jews
paraded to their deaths daily over
a period of nine months.
The routine was always the
same, he said. The Jews were
given towels and soap and 80 to
100 at a time were herded into
a big van and driven away.
“The doors were hermetically
sealed,” he said. “When the van
moved on, the gas would enter
it and in this way they all were
killed.”
Srebnik’s job was to pull gold
out of the teeth of the bodies on
their arrival at the crematorium.
“I do not sleep well at night.
Those horrid pictures are still
haunting me,” the witness said.
Atty. Gen. Gideon Hausner said
Eichmann was responsible for the
Jews being sent to such death
camps and “therefore is responsi
ble for what happened to them
there.”
Srebnik said all the Jews forced
into the operational work of the
death camp were chained night
and day.

No Prediction Can
Be Made About
“Project Chariot""
ST. LOUIS W! — The Greater
St. Louis Committee for Nuclear
Information says “no firm pre
diction can be made regarding the
ultimate harm that may result”
from Project Chariot, a proposed
underground nuclear explosion in
Alaska.
The committee made known its
position in its bulletin. “Nuclear
Information,” published this week.
Project Chariot is sponsored by
the Atomic Energy Commission.
The explosion, which would be
the United States’ first use of nu
clear power for peaceful pur
poses, cannot be triggered until
the existing ban on nuclear test
ing is removed. President Ken
nedy and then the AEC then must
give a go-ahead.
The site of the proposed blast
is on Cape Thompson, 100 miles
above the Arctic Circle on Alas
ka’s Northwest Coast.
The committee said the proj
ect calls for setting off five
atomic bombs, the equivalent of
280,000 tons of TNT. The pur
pose would be to scour out a hole
1,500 feet in diameter and a chan
nel 2,000 feet long, to connect the
harbor with the sea. An esti
mated 20 million cubic yards of
dirt would be moved.
The committee said Project
Chariot, which is designed to test
the feasibility of nuclear explo
sions for large-scale excavations
such as dredging and mining, “de
monstrates the enormous power
of the nuclear age . . . but also
demonstrates the inevitable risks
that accompany nuclear power.
“The explosions will produce
radio-active debris which, if in
adequately disposed of. may cause
harm to some people.”
The bulletin went on to say an
exact prediction on the biological
effects of the explosion could not
be made but that general con
clusions are possible.
Said the bulletin:
“Because of the unique miner
al nutrition of the lichens, which
avidly absorb fallout, the cari
bou, which feed on lichens, and
the humans, who eat the caribou,
appear to be higher in strontium
90 content than any other group
in the world.
“The fallout from the proposed
Chariot explosion will add to the
present strontium 90 levels by an
amount that cannot now be pre
dicted with any degree of pre
cision.”
Edward Teller, University of
California physicist who has
helped in the planning of Project
Chariot, said the site of the pro
posed blast has no population and
radio-activity would be slight be
cause the explosion would be un
derground. Teller, in St. Louis
last week, said every precaution
was being taken to guard against
fallout damage.
Ash Craft and family leave
tomorrow for summer vacation.
The family will remain in the
east for the summer with Ash re
turning in a few weeks.

Letter of Commendation
From Fire Marshal

tions to you and the men of your
volunteer fire department for the
fine cooperation and efficiency
you have shown.
“Nome’s volunteer fire depart
ment not only provides for the
protection of life and property

the level of insurance premiums
for the community, but also pro
vides an outlet for a closer social
relationship that contributes to
the health and economic welfare
of your community.
"Keep up the good work!”
At the meeting last week of
the Volunteer Fire Department
the following officers were elect
ed: Bob Casperson, president; Dan
Walsh, vice president; and Bob

ALASKA RATED FOURTH

State Department of Commerce

Astronauts Practice
Up Housekeeping for
Flight to the Moon
WASHINGTON UP> — A space
kitchen in which three astronauts
can set up housekeeping in a
flight to the Moon has had a
down-to-earth showing.
If nothing else, the kitchen has
one notable merit: No dirty dish
es.
The kitchen had its showing
Monday at a luncheon, where a
young man garbed in an astro
naut’s suit operated the kitchen
to prepare the kind of a meal a
space traveler might eat.
Moving like a ballet dancer to
simulate the free-floating con
dition of weightlessness in space,
he moved from freezer to refri
gerator to oven, clutching handles
to keep utensils from drifting
away.
From the oven he produced a
heated can from which he un
screwed a bottom cap, attached
a forced-feeder device resembling
a potato dicer and fixed a feed
ing nipple to the can.
He then squeezed the food out
of the container, through the nip
ple and into his mouth.
The kitchen can be stocked with
108 cans of frozen foods like
pineapple, strawberries, fruit bars
and pound cake; 207 canned main
item courses like veal steak,
ham and eggs, vegetables and
potatoes; 618 plastic tubes of
dried milk, cocoa, tea, coffee,
fruit juices, eggs and steamed
rice.
