New Committee To
Insure Fair Hiring
In Contract Jobs
(By the Associated Press)
Pro-statehood forces are pre
paring to emphasize witnesses un
der the “Little Man” label in at
least two of the cities in which
six U.S. senators will hold hear
ings next week on statehood and
the alternative proposal for an
elective territorial governor.
The hearings, opening in Ketch
ikan Monday and following in
Juneau, Fairbanks and Anchor
age, are expected to produce some
sharp controversy over the state
hood issue, with the tenor or the
testimony depending on the city.
Reports indicate the general at
titude toward the hearing ranges
from apparent apathy in Juneau,
where the strongest statehood op
position testimony is expected, to
civic enthusiasm as Anchorage.
A housewife and two attorneys
have sparked a “Little Man” or
ganization at Anchorage in be
half of statehood.
The idea grew from the com
ment of Sen. Hugh Butler (R-Neb)
chairman of the Senate Interior
Committee, who will preside at
the hearings, that they would be
held in Alaska so “little men” who
haven’t funds to travel to Wash
ington can be heard.
The Anchorage Times reports
the cUy is showing more interest
without any indication of opposi
in the issue than ever before —
tion. Robert Atwood, editor of the
newspaper, is chairman of the
Alaska Statehood Committee.

Man Identified As a Red
Had Access to H-Bomb
Secrets, Says McCarthy
WASHINGTON, tfl— Sen. Mc
Carthy said Thursday his investi
gations subcommittee has received
sworn testimony that an individ
ual indentified as a Communist
has had access to the government
printing office to “top secret mat
erial having to do with the A
bomb and the H-bomb.”
A spokesman for the Atomic
Energy Commission, asked about
this by newsmen said: “We do not
have any of our restricted data
sent to the regular, main govern
ment printing office.”
The AEC spokesman said also
that under the Atomic Energy
Law anyone who has access to' re
stricted data must undergo a full
FBI field investigation and be
cleared by the AEC.
McCarthy said “the individual
with whom we are principally
concerned” has denied under oath
that he is or ever was a Commu
nist. This person has received
clearance by the Printing Office’s
loyalty board, McCarthy added.
However, the senator said, the
subcommittee has sworn evidence
that the individual was a member
of the Communist Party.

July Weather in Nome
Compiled by the
U.S. Dept, of Commerce Weather Bureau
Of greatest significance this
month was the prolonged period
of bad weather from the 17th to
the 24th. During this week the
ceiling and visibility remained at
or below the airport minimums,
practically halting air travel.
Another unusual condition ap
peared during the last few days
of the month when thunderstorm
activity became abnormally high.
The storm that passed over Nome
early in the morning of the 27th
came in from the south, was pre
ceded by a typical thunderstorm
squall, and dropped .45 inch of i
rain in 30 minutes.

France Crippled
With 4,000,000 Idle
As Strikes Spread
PARIS, UPi — New walkouts
were called Thursday in the news
papers and national strikes in
volving four million workers
rolled on in France.
No end to labor’s great upheav
al was in sight as the unions bat
tled Premier Joseph Laniel’s econ
omy program.
There were no- negotiations un
der way between the unions and
the government, which was trying
to cope with the situation by put
ting police, soldiers and even con
victs to work cleaning streets and
helping sort mail.
There was one bright develop
ment for thousands of annoyed
tourists—custom agents quit their
jobs in ever increasing numbers
at ports, air fields and border
points, so that baggage was going
in and out,uninspected.
The partially government-subsi
dized French News Agency (AFP)
said it expected to be hit by a
strike today.
A few trains were running
throughout the nation, and some
mail was being distributed, but by
and large both the railways and
postal, telephone and telegraphic
services continued to' be para
lyzed.
Behind the strike wave now
was labor’s bid for a large-scale
rise in all wages and salaries.
Mr. and Mrs. Bill Honsberger
(Mary Roell) are spending their
vacation at home with Mr. and
Mrs. Dick Roell. Their present
home is in Texas.
The Roells are not only cele
brating their arrival but also the
arrival of a granddaughter, born
Tuesday in Fairbanks to their
other daughter, Mrs. Jim Free
ricks.
