LETTER to the EDITOR
I owe a debt of gratitude to
Willie Brown for bringing to the
Nomerama Oscar Hammerstein’s
production “Carmen Jones,” play
ing Wednesday and Thursday.
Having seen this picture eight
times, I would like to take this
opportunity to express my appre
ciation to Willie and, at the same
time, let the people of Nome know
what a big surprise they’re in for.
This picture had ' a run on
Broadway for three years on the
stage before it was filmed. It is a
CinemaScope picture in color
with stereophonic sound.
The cast consists of Carmen,
played by Dorothy Dandridge;
Joe, by Harry Belafonte; Cindy
Lou, by Olga James; Frankie, by
Pearl Bailey; Myrt, by Diahann
Carroll; Rum, by Roy Glenn;
Dink, by Nick Stewart; Husky,
by Joe Adams; Sgt. Brown, by
Broc Peters; T-Bone, by Sandy
Lewis; Sally, by Mauri Lynn, and
Trainer, by DeForest Covan.
This is a musical comedy, a
love story, and a drama all
wrapped up in one. This is a spec
tacular picture, because it has an
all-colored cast and is a true-to
life story.
I would like very much to tell
you how it ends, but I’ll let you
find that out for yourself. I’ll give
you a clue, though—Carmen real
ly gets what’s coming to her in
the end.
I’ll be seeing you,
Jack Blattler.
P.S. This will be your only chance
to see this picture in Nome,
because it is to be shipped
out on this Last boat.
Mrs. Tekla Kanari leaves this
week to winter in the States this
year.
She spent the summer at her
mining camp in the Kougarok and
states that the berries were most
plentiful, but there was no water
all summer.

KHRUSHCHEV OFFERS RUSSIA’S
PROPOSAL FOR INTERNATIONAL
CONTROL OF EARTH SATELLITES
NEW YORK (£>—Nikita Khrush
chev says the Soviet government
will agree to international control
o:' earth satellites and all pilotless
missiles—as part of a general So
viet-U.S. agreement to coexist
peacefully.
In an interview in Moscow Mon
day with James Reston, Wash
ington bureau chief of the New
York Times who is visiting the
Soviet capital, Khrushchev said
an agreement on peaceful coexist
ence would remove any problem
of controlling new scientific de
vices.
The Soviet party boss gave no
indication, however, that the
Moscow regime was prepared to
modify the politioal or disarma
ment proposals previously reject
ed by the United States,” Reston
reported.
Sharply Critical of U.S.
“On the contrary, he was sharp
ly critical of United States policy
in the Middle East and Germany,
charged that Secretary of State
Dulles was trying to drive Turkey
into war with Syria, and asserted
that Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
was following a Hitlerite policy
in West Germany.”
Khrushchev said Moscow was
amending its disarmament pro
posals to provide for inspection of
rocket-launching sites. He ex
plained that planes are “in de
cline” as a weapon, hat bombers
lack height and speed for modern
combat and are vulnerable to
rocket attack, and fighter planes j
move so fast they are not effec
tive in air-to-air combat.
No Infernal Upheaval
Before a “reasonable agreement”
can be reached between the So
viet Union and the United States,
Khrushchev said, the West must
concede that Russia, China and
other states exist as socialist
(Communist) states and must stop
basing its policy “on the theory
that some internal upheaval is
going to destroy these states.”
Khrushchev continued that the
Soviet Union recognizes the ex
istence of capitalist states with a
different philosophy. It is “ready
for peaceful competition with
these states in all fields,’ he added,
“and if both sides approach each
other as equals there is not a
single question in the world that
could not be solved.”
The interview took place in
Khrushchev’s private office on
the fifth floor of the headquarters
of the Communist Party Central
Committee. The party boss, using
an interpreter, read prepared
statements on a list of topics sub
mitted to him in advance, then
answered supplementary ques
tions put to him by Reston on
each topic.
U.S. SlTong, Russia Weak?
Khrushchev charged the United
States is responsible for all trou
bles betwen it and the Soviet
Union because it is trying to ne
gotiate as if the U.S. is strong and
Russia is weak.
He said his country has every
kind of rocket required'in mod
ern war—intercontinental, inter
mediate and short-range for front
line use. He said the Soviet arse
nal was completely adequate for
the country’s defense.

Fire Prevention Check List
Because of a rather new concept in fire prevention,
almost any day Mrs. Housewife may find a team of
firemen on her doorstep, asking permission to inspect
her home for fire hazards.
Fire prevention on a door-to-door basis, directed
by the nation’s local fire departments, is the brainchild
of Jay W. Stevens, executive secretary of the Inter
national Association of Fire Chiefs and assistant man
ager of the National Board of Fire Underwriters in
San Francisco. In the five years since he first gave the
IAFC the idea for a nation-wide program, millions of
homes in hundreds of communities have been inspected.
The ultimate goal: every home in the United States
and Canada.
Many housewives will undoubtedly want to do a
little “slicking uip” in preparation for the firemen’s
visit, so here’s what the inspector will be hoping to find:
1. Evidence of careful smoking habits—plenty of
large, sturdy ashtrays, for example—and a “no-smok
ing-in-bed rule in your home.
2. Matches and cigaret lighters kept where children
can’t reach them.
3. Proper size fuses (15 amperes for most home
circuits). Enough electrical circuits to avoid any over
loading. Plenty of outlets. Cords in good, condition;
never twisted around nails or strung under rugs.
4. Attics, cellars and closets that are free of rubbish.
5. Clean stoves. Curtains, towels and other hanging
materials a safe distance from stove burners.
6. Oil stoves or heaters clean and in good condition.
No evidence of oil spillage. Oil stored in safety cans—
outdoors, if possible.
7. Your assurance that you never use gasoline or
other highly flammable liquid for home dry cleaning.
8. Furnaces clean and in good repair. Paints and
other combustibles stored a good distance away, paint
lids tightly closed.
9. Sufficient clearance between an oil or wood
stove and the walls surrounding it. An insulated metal
base on flooring beneath the stove.
10. Stove pipes, pipe collars and flues free of defects.
11. Oily rags stored in covered metal containers, if
for some reason they cannot be thrown out immediate
ly after being used.
12. Your assurance that you never leave young
children alone!
