School Funds Bill Needs Your Support
Nome is like the old lady who lived in the shoe—
Nome has so'many school children she doesn’t know
what to do.
We built an annex, we built an addition for the
primary department. Now an emergency exists for
expansion for the other grades if adequate instruction
is to be given.
To get the necessary help and funds for our grow
ing community it is necessary to keep our legislators
alerited, lest they forget that high on our list of priority
needs is the passage of the appropriation bill for the
Department of Education.
Your Chamber of Commerce has wired the mem
bers of the Senate and if you want your children to get
a good education it is up to you, the residents of Nome,
to write to the members of the Legislature and express
your opinion on which way they should vote on this
bill. The legislators are working for you, and were sent
to Juneau to act for you.
Do it now!
Letters directed to legislators should be sent to
Senator Edith Bullock, and John Mc'Nees, and Repre
sentative -Jim von der Heydt, who are on the com
mittees concerning /this bill.
PLAYING POLITICS ... AT THE
COST OF STATEHOOD!
(Fairbanks News-Miner)
The Legislature is considering a bill which would
establish an “administrative governor” at a salary of
$19,000 per year.
This administrative Alaska governor would take
■over all the duties which our legislature is empowered
to give. The appointive governor would remain in his
post, of course, and continue to weild all the power
which has been conferred on him by Congress. The
present bill doesn’t call for the construction of an addi
tional governor’s mansion, but, apparently, that would
come next.
We believe this bill is ridiculous, and here is why:
We are still a Territory. Whether we like it or not,
we are tied to the apron strings, AND THE PURSE
STRINGS of the Federal government. We would like
to have the full rights of Statehood, but we are not
going to get anywhere by acting like spoiled and foolish
children . . . especially when we do this at the expense
of hard-pressed Alaskan taxpayers.
Bear in mind these facts:
1. The Admiinistration in Washington can hardly
he expected to appreciate this bill, since it sets up a
dual form of government which will certainly impede
Federal administration of Alaska. Yet we want the
Administration to support Statehood. Furthermore,
appropriations for Alaska roads, public works and
many other important things all stem from the Admin
istration. !It certainly behooves us to maintain proper
relations with the Federal government. • WE CANNOT
AFFORD TO DO OTHERWISE.
2. This bill is bound to saddle Alaska taxpayers
with the expense of maintaining a dual form of govern
ment . . . and this, will force higher taxation. ... If we
Alaskans must pay more taxes, let us pay th°m to
obtain better schools, paved streets or OTHER
THINGS WE NEED WORSE THAN TWO GOV
ERNORS!
We think this is an appropriate time to remind our
legislators that they are in Juneau to REPRESENT
ALASKANS; to consider constructive legislation
which will let our Territory operate in the most effi
cient manner possible at the lowest cost

Canadian Charge
Of Deer Poaching
TORONTO, (iP — Spokesmen
'for General Motors and John
Foster Dulles say neither Dulles
nor GM executives are shooting
deer out of season on their Cana
dian islands.
A U. S. State Department
spokesman in Washington said
Dulles has never shot a deer on
his Canadian island retreat and
l has been “very scrupulous”
i about everyone else obeying game
laws there.
Ross L. Wicher, a Liberal
Ontalio Provincial legislator,
charged Tuesday Canada per
mitted Dulles and other wealthy
Americans to hunt deer the year
round on privately owned prop
erty.
Areas he named included Lake

Lodge Says Soviets Complain With
‘Unclean Hands’ of U. S. ‘Aggression’
By MAX HARRELSON |
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., 15)!
— Ambassador Henry Cabot!
Lodge Jr. today called Russia’s1
latest complaint against the i
United States “a gigantic, cock-1
and-bull story” designed to head I
off the Eisenhower Doctrine for
the Middle East.
Lodge addressed the U. N.
Steering Committee after Soviet
Deputy Foreign Minister Vassily
V. Kuznetsov had demanded ur
gent action to prevent the threat
of a new world war which he
said was stemming from U. S.
policies.
The Soviet move, Lodge said,
“is a thinly veiled and deliberate
ly timed attack on President Eis
enhower’s Middle East policy be- j
cause the policy would prevent'
Soviet subversion of the sover
Ike’s Heart Doctor
Chases Whales
For Heartbeat
SANTA MONICA, Calif., 151 —1
The helicopter has replaced the '
whaleboat, as far as Dr. Paul!
Dudley White is concerned.
Darts fired from a low-flying;
helicopter hit eight out of nine
whales shot at during a five-day
hunt for a whale whose heartbeat
could be measured. The ’copter
makes a perfect “shooting stand,”
he said.
But, said Dr. White yesterday,
the electrode-tipped darts pro- i
duced results from only one of!
the eight whales ' hit—and the;
electrocardiograph obtained was!
brief and inconclusive.
Dr. White, President Eisen- !
bower’s heart specialist, led the!
expedition to a remote lagoon off i
Mexico’s Baj California in the
hope that the cardiograph, a
graph of the heart’s action, could
be recorded from a 50-foot grey
whale.
Such a record would have prac
tical value in interpreting human
heart action, said Dr. White.
Aircraft executives Donald
Douglas and his son, Donald Jr.,
acted as harpoomists. The darts
wired to a sea sled, which was
to relay the big mammal’s heart
pulsation by radio to Dr. White
ancj his cardiograph on a yacht.
Dr. White said he is satisfied
with the use of helicopters—A
similar try a year ago in a small
boat ended unsuccessfully when
the whale almost capsized it. The
doctor figures that the whale’s
hide is too thick for the darts to
penetrate into tissue where heart
boats could be electronically
measured.
The brief recording made
showed a ‘regular sequence of
pulsations, said Dr. White, but
he said he isn’t sure whether it
was the whale’s heart or amo.her
muscle whose movement was
measured.

eignty of all small states m $he
Middle East.”
Kuznetsov led off the debate
with a charge the Eisenhower doc
trine was “designed not to relax
international strains but to make
'hem more acute.” Lodge said
Kuznetsov had “let the cat out of
the bag.”
“Very well,” he said, “we ac
cept the challenge. Let the de
bate take place. We are sure that
the Soviets cannot make good
one single charge. We look for
ward to debating this matter so
that we can take up all of its
many ritualistic ponderosities and
solemn mendacities and expose
them for the crudities- that they
are.”
The Soviet complaint charged
the United States was endanger
ing peace by aggressive policies,
including he Eisenhower Doc
trine, the maintenance of mili
tary bases around the world and
by huge military appropriations.
Lodge retorted that Russia had
killed 25,000 Hungarians during
the recent bloody armed interven
tion which was carried out to
“re-enslave” the people. He also
charged Russia with responsibili
ty for the Korean war, which he
described as the “most terrible
war in the last decade.”
“The Soviet Union does not
come into court with clean
hands,” the U. S. delegate de
clared. “They are the very last
one^ who should accuse anyone
of aggression.”
In Commissioner’s Court
William Harris, assault and
battery, sentenced to 120 days in
the Federal Jail.
John Wheeler was sentenced to
60 days in the Federal Jail for
assault and battery on two counts

$50 of the fine suspended.
Laurence Pickel was fined $30
for disorderly conduct with $25
of the fine suspended.
Claude Anderson was sen
tenced to 90 days in the Fed
eral Jail for1 giving liquor to a
minor oil two counts, with .sen
tences to run concurrently. He
was also given a 90 day sus
pended sentence for driving while
