PLEASED TO MEET YOU!
Look To The. Sea
IT IS A KNOWN FACT that a few miles out on
Bering Sea, there are cod, halibut and shrimp. The
quantity has never been established, as no survey has
ever been made. Several years ago, the Chamber of
Commerce petitioned for such a survey, and a Fish
and Wildlife ship was sent here. Unfortunately, the
weather was not favorable during the time they were
in this area.
Next month, two Fish and Wildlife ships will be
in the Bering Sea, participating in the tests being
made at Cape Thompson. If requested, it seems highly
feasible that the research for the atomic blast and
the commercial possibilities of fishing in this area
might be explored at the same time.
Northern Alaska needs economic development, •
and every avenue of its natural resources should be
explored. An opportune time has arrived; let us take
advantage of it. Our future industry might come from
the sea.
Tlieir Stake In Government
IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS all manner of organi
zations have been arguing that businessmen take
an active interest in politics, on behalf of the candi
dates, parties, and programs they believe in. This
has been given the blessing of the top political strate
gists. Chairman Paul Butler of the Democratic
National Committee observes: “I say, with the strong
est possible conviction, that businessmen belong in
politics.” Chairman Thurston B. Morton of the Repub
lican National Committee sees the matter the same
way: “Men and women of the business community
should, not only in their own self-interest, but in the
interest of their country, participate more fully in
party organization work at all levels.”
Next thing to go into orbit, we hear, will be a
$200,000 atomic clock with a “rate” of not over one
second plus or minus in 1,000 years. It is expected
to prove the truth of Einstein’s theory of relativity
and that a man, traveling at the speed of light for 20
years would get home to find the earth millions of
years older.
Another thing we don’t quite understand is just
who is going to check on that clock and see whether
it meets the specification.

I Opening of IJ. S.
Moscow Exhibit
Host Soviet Chiefs
By A. I. GOLDBERG
MOSCOW, UP) — The American
National Exhibition in Moscow
opened Friday night and drew
praise from the first Soviet visitor
— Nikita Khrushchev.
“There are good things here,
and we envy you for them," the
Soviet Premier said at the dedi
cation ceremonies. “They are
things that Russia will have.”
The opening day audience of
5.000 was by invitation — mostly
diplomats and Soviet officals and
their families. Fair managers are
counting on a daily attendance of
50.000 with tickets selling at one
ruble — 25 cents at the Soviet
fixed rate.
The fair grounds cover nine
acres of Sokolniki Park — a Lttle
America in the heart of the Soviet
capitol.
For the Russians to see were
displays of things Americans wear
model cars; homes and boats; plus
and eat; things they use at play;,
a fashion show and soft drinks.
Khrushchev showed little in
terest in the seven-screen pano
rama of American life and the
style show featuring both Negroes
and whites. But the models of the
latest American |automobiles
| caught his eye, and he spent some
time at this exhibit.
Nixon got his biggest ovation
since arriving in Moscow on leav
ing the grounds after Khrushchev
and other Soviet leaders had de
parted.
