WHAT’S IN A NAME?
Secretary Oveta Culp Hobby, of the new, formid
able-sounding Department of Health, Education and
Welfare, has said that she is opposed to socialized medi
cine, and that President Eisenhower agrees with this
view.
It is her own belief, Mrs. Hobby says, that all of
us can get proper medical attention by “expanding and
perfecting the system of volunteer, non-profit, private
ly-operated health-insurance programs.
This, we think, is good news, even though we would
not be averse to allowing the health-insurance programs
to make a dollar or two on us. We hope the Secretary
means what we think she means . . . but that name,
Department of Health, Education and Welfare, still
gives us a twinge. If the Russians were ever to take
us over—they’d love it.

committed and crimes punished”—Robert H. Jackson,

The Nome Visitors Association
reports the arrival and departure
via Wien Airlines last Friday,
June 12, of Miss Nan L. Dalziel
and Miss Alice Larter, both young
ladies of San Francisco. This is
their first visit to Nome and they
expressed much pleasure in being
here. While out on Anvil Mountain
with Mrs. Roosevelt Grunow of
Hazel Park, Mich., all enjoyed
gathering numerous varieties of
colorful wild flowers.
On Saturday, Mr. -and Mrs. Rod
Monson with Mr. and Mrs. Donald
Foiles, both couples of Fairbanks,
spent, as all stated, a very enjoy
able and interesting afternoon in
and about Nome. Others regis
tered at the NVA reception room
were Elder L. S. Michaux and
Elder James McCorkle of Wash
ington, D.C. Elder Michaux is the
president of the Gospel Associa
tion. With them, as the guest of
Elder Michaux, was Dr. Louis R.
Patmont of Witter Spring, Calif.
Several visitors were highly
pleased Sunday afternoon with
the early-day pictorial scenes of
Nome displayed on the walls of
the NVA’s reception office. Mr.
and Mrs. Arch Kinsey and their
daughter Jean, of Stay ton, Ore
gon, gathered flowers. Jean and
her friend, Miss Jean Schriever,
of Molalla, Oregon, kept busy
with flower photography. Miss
Ruth Bammel, who has been
teaching school the past term in
Anealchek, is returning to her
home in Bay City, Michigan. She
too was delighted to' be in Nome.
Another group of Fairbanks
visitors enjoyed being in Nome
and were pleased with the bus
tour. In this group were Mr. and
Mrs. Jerry Barnes, Mr. and Mrs.
Howard Blefgen; Mrs. Alma
Eades and her young son Guy,
and Mrs. H. Guthrie.

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON
GETS SHARE OF $28,000
INDIAN ART COLLECTION
SEATTLE, [ff\—Purchase of a
rare collection of Alaskan Indian
art and cultural specimens at a
cost of $10,000 has been author
ized by the University of Wash
ington board of regents.
The university and the Denver,
Colorado, Art Museum will con
tribute $10,000 toward the total
price of $28,000. The balance will
be made up by sale of duplicate
items in the collection.
The collection will be divided
between the two institutions. It
was collected over a period of 30.
years by the late Walter Waters
of Wrangell, Alaska, and con
tained more than 600 items.
WASHINGTON, (A—The Civil
Aeronautics Board modified the
certified routes of airlines in Al
aska yesterday to “conform with
actual patterns of operation.”
The board also modified the
“bush” airmail routes from Fair
banks.
The two cases were decided in
March and January, respectively,
but were withheld until their ap
proval by the White House last
week.
In the over-all Alaska route
modifications case, the board ac
cepted for the most part a recom
mendation of Examiner F. Merrit
Ruhlen last August.
Ruhlen said his report consoli
dated routes there as much as pos
sible, eliminated duplicating ser
vices and eliminated authoriza
tions to serve at those points to
which the authority had never
been exercised. The airlines in
»■—..— -
volved were Alaska, Byers, Wien
Alaska and Pacific Northern.
In the only issues in which it
differed from the examiner’s find
ings, the board ruled that:
1. Stebbins and Kako Landing
warrant service by Alaska Air
lines—Stebbins between Hamilton
and St. Michael on the Bethel-Un
alakleet run, and Kako Landing
between Paimiut (Paimute) and
Russian Mission on the McGrath
Fortuna Ledge route.
2. Savoonga should be retained
for non-mail service by Alaska
Airlines because of defense needs
there.
3. Alaska’s authority to serve
McKinley National Park between
Summit and Nenana on the An
chorage - Fairbanks route should
be extended, even though the air
line has not exercised that author
ity.
4. Wien’s authority to serve Ig
loo between Fairbanks and Nome
should be eliminated because the
Igloo postoffice has been closed.
The Board said the examiner
was correct in deleting the Fair
banks-Medra-McGrath route from
Alaska’s certificate, and added:
“Our decision does not work a
basic transformation in the route
system of Alaska Airlines.
“The fact that our decision com
bines the four separate certificates
for Alaskan air transportation
hitherto held by Alaska Airlines
and replaces them with a single
certificate constitutes merely a
formal change in that carrier’s
operating authority . . .
“The carrier will continue
to serve Fairbanks, Anchorage,
Nome, McGrath, Kotzebue, King
Salmon (in lieu of Naknek), Plati
num, Bethel and Unalakleet.
“Its mail routes, of much great
er importance than those over
which only persons and property
may be carried, remain substan
tially unchanged.”

Sub Crosses Atlantic
Submerged All the Way
PORTSMOUTH, England, UPl—
A British submarine reached Eng
land today after a 2,500-mile trip
from Bermuda—made all the way
under water. It evidently took
•about two weeks.
The trip was' only about half
as long as the 5,200-mile under
water run by the U.S. submarine
Pickerel in 1950. That trip was
from Hong Kong to Pearl Harbor
in 21 days.
Both the American and British
submarines were equipped with
snorkel apparatus, a bi'eathing
tube extending to the surface.
This apparatus was developed by
the Germans during World War
II, from a Dutch idea.
The British submarine was the
Andrew, carrying a crew of 60.
Janes Fighting Ships listed the
submerged speed of subs in the
Andrew’s class as eight knots.
