SENATOR BUCKALEW SAYS
PUNCHBOARDS ARE ILLEGAL
JUNEAU, Uf\ — Senator Sea
born Buckalew Jr. introduced a
bill Wednesday to repeal the $2
minimum license tax which Alas
ka now collects on punchboards.
“Punchboards are illegal,” said
Buckalew. “Instead of collecting
a tax on them, we should be con
fiscating them.”
About $2,500 in tax revenue is
derived annually from punch
board licenses.

White Mountain Letter
By HARHY GARFIELD
Here is a news item of interest
to Dog Mushers and followers of
Dog Racing. A race was held on
Feb. 6, and it drew quite a few
racers from the outlying villages,
mostly from Norton Bay and
Sound region. There were 14
teams running the 30-mile course
from White Mountain to Golovin,
round-trip, non-stop. Nineteen
teams came from the other vil
lages, ten of them participating
in the Race. The total of dogs of
the visitors were 177.
The running time of last year,
3 hours, 8 minutes, 27 seconds,
was broken by ten race teams.
Here are the results:
First — Willie Takak, Shaktoo
lik, time, 2:33.02; second—Charles
Auliye, Elim, 2:43.02; third —
Aaron Simon, White Mt., 2:43.37;
fourth — Kenneth Dewey, Koyuk,
2:43.55; Consolation — Thomas
R. Brown, White Mt., 3:46.31.
Other teams in the race: Clar
ence Saccheus, Elim; John Rock,
Koyuk; Nathan Nagaruk, Elim;
Edison Okitkon, Solomon; Steven
Agloinga, White Mt.; Alfred
Adams, Koyuk; Herbert James
Jr., White Mt.; Ralph Willoya,
Golovin; Lincoln Moore, Elim.
• Next year is planned to be a
bigger and better race, and there
will be more Dog Mushers from
other participating villages.

Khrushchev’s Assertion Communism
Is Superior, Evokes 4Crazy’ from Ike
WASHINGTON, UPl — President
Eisenhower yesterday labeled as
crazy a specific contention by
Soviet Premier Khrushchev that
Communism is superior to free
world capitalism.
At a news conference, Eisen
hower was asked for comment on
a statement, attributed to Khrush
chev, that Russia’s flag is flying
on the moon and this proves that
Communism is better than capital
ism.
Eisenhower replied he thinks
it’s a crazy statement.
The President said he concedes
that Russia has to its credit some
spectacular achievements in space
exploration. But the American
people, Eisenhower went on^
should not get hysterical about
such achievements.
The President added that we
should not let this sort of accom
plishment 'by Russia dismay us.
Eisenhower dealt with these
other topics: '
Nuclear — He called for a vir
tual ban on all nuclear weapons
testing — linked to foolproof
safeguards.
In disclosing proposals to be
outlined later in the day at the
Geneva conference on nuclear
test bans, Eisenhower excepted
only such underground tests as
cannot be detected at the present
time. •
Eisenhower said he hopes the
American plan will end the
months-long deadlock at Geneva.
Defense — Eisenhower said he
deplores public argument among
military experts regarding the
adequacy and specific require
ments of the nation’s defense.
Missiles — Eisenhower said he
returned from an inspection tour
of the missile test center at Cape
Canaveral, Fla., yesterday feeling
much better about this country’s
missile program than when he
left Washington.
Payola — Eisenhower was told
that a disc jockey, being ques
tioned in the payola scandal sit
uation, had testified he had a
wonderful way of life — saying
that, “I’ll do for you. What will
you do for me?”
When we get to the point where
people use the airways under gov
ernment license for personal
gain, then public morality is in
volved, Eisenhower said.
