^GOT TO ADMIT HE’S GOOD !
THIS IS ECONOMY?
EDUCATORS, social workers, youth leaders, re
ligious leaders, all have agreed that the youth
of any community need to be near their homes and
families during their growing years and particularly
during their adolescence.
Much has been said in recent years of the disrup
tion of family life by sending Eskimo children away
to Mt. Edgecumbe, and the effect it has on the life
of the child, the economic development of the com
munities where the children do not return, and the
breaking of family ties. The cost of transportation
for hundreds of youngsters in the spring and fall is
also something the taxpayer has to consider.
Now the Bureau of Indian Affairs announces it
plans to send Eskimo children from as faj>away as
Barrow to the Chemawa Indian Sehool'in Oregon.
They plan to send over a hundred Eskimo children
in this exodus not only from their homes but from
their own state and double the cost of transportation.
What sort of economy is this?
Chartered Plane Sets
Sen. Johnson Down Safe
With Blazing Landing Gear
BINGHAMTON, N. Y., Ufl — A
fire broke out in the landing gear
of Sen. Lyndon Johnson’s char
tered plane as it touched down
Saturday at Broome County Air
port.
The Texas Democratic Senator
and his party emerged from the
plane unharmed. Emergency
crews extinguished the flames in
one of the converted Convair’s
twin left landing tires.
Airport officials said the flames
resulted from a broken hydraulic
line on the brakes.
Johnson, Senate Majority Lead
er, and an unannounced candidate
for his party’s Presidential nomi
nation, came here to address a
luncheon meeting of the Broome
County Dinner Club, a nonpar
tisan organization.

man is very silent, another talks
all the time, and twelve men con
demn the man who has not said
a word!”

Communist Raving
Is ‘Half Cracked’
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
Nikita Khrushchev said recently
he didn’t want to make the cold
war more severe.
| Since then he has renewed his
personal villification of President
Eisenhower and Vice President
Nixon.
He has said German Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer belongs in an
insane asylum.
He has delegated to subordin
ates the power to make nuclear
war, on purpose or by mistake.
He has reiterated his threats
against nations which provide
military bases for Americans.
While prattling about disarma
ment, he apparently has been es
tablishing a new military posture
j of such importance that U. S. in
i telligence agents consider it es
i sential to conduct aerial recon
naissance without delaying for the
| summit conference.
Until the nature of the informa
tion sought on May Day by the
U-2 spy plane is known, the Amer
ican public will not be able to
pass valid judgment on rightness
or wrongness of the flight.
The implication, however, is
that something was and is under
way in the Soviet Union, perhaps
with regard to new weapons or
the redeployment of old ones,
which has a vital bearing on
American security.
Khrushchev is described as get
ting more and more excited and
waving his arms as he went along
in his news conference Friday.
That’s the way Adolf Hitler used
to do. even when he was saying
he didn’t want any more trouble
with anybody.
The whole post-summit business
is one of the most overt attempts
ever made to intervene in Amer
ican affairs, and one which re
veals Khrushchev’s complete ig
norance of those affairs. All he is
accomplishing is the reaffirma
tion in American minds that you
can’t do business with Commu
nism, and that practitioners of
Communism, while sly at some
moments, are mostly half-cracked
anyway.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Would you please honor an old
"Sourdough” who spent 1900 to
1906 at your beloved town in the
Gold Rush Days, by printing this
in your paper? I would like to
have those who were there then,
and who still are there to write
me. I think I can tell them of a
spot there yet that may never
have been worked, that sure ought
to be rich. I was there when J. C.
Brown hit it rich on the old beach
line just below where Anvil Creek
comes out of the mountains.
Brown offered to bet me I
couldn’t get a pan of gravel on
bed rock with less than $25 worth
of gold in it. It was frozen clear
to bedrock.
P.S.—I am crosseyed, so maybe
some "Sourdough” will remember
me by that.
