Military Plans
$87 Million Alaska
Base Construction
SEATTLE, UPi — About $87,000,
000 will be spent in Alaska for
military construction in the fis
cal year starting July 1, Col. W.
C. Gribble Jr., said here yester
day.
This is $14,000,000 more than
the estimated $73,000,000 being
spent in the year ending June 30.
Col. Gribble, Alaska District
Engineer, also said contracts for
$60,000,000 will be let in the next
few months for work at the na
tion’s first missile-detection base
at Clear.
Gribble gave his estimate of
Alaska military construction
spending at a Seattle Chamber of
Commerce meeting. Figures on the
base at Clear, 70 miles south
west of Fairbanks, came out of a
conference with Seattle-area con
tractors.
Four bid openings on various
phases of the Clear project are
! scheduled here this month. The
first will be tomorrow, followed
by openings on March 18, 24 and
26. Contracts will be awarded by
Gribble at Anchorage after bids
are reviewed.
Two more bid openings are set
for April, with dates still unde
termined.
Construction at Clear will ex
tend through 1960, and also in
volve highway and airfield work.
Khrushchev Threatens
Separate Pact With
Unrecognized E. Germany
By CARL HARTMAN
LEIPZIG, East Germany, UP) —
; Soviet Premier Khrushchev said
I today the Soviet Union will sign
| a separate peace treaty with East
| Germany if the West fails to come
to terms on an all-German settle
ment.
Khrushchev accused the West
of refusing his proposals on Ger
many without proposing any al
I ternatives “that a normal human
intelligence can agree to.”
The Western Allies have refused
to recognize Premier Otto Grote
wohl’s Red East German regime,
which never has faced a free elec
tion. as a legal government. The
West insisted they would not deal
with it on Berlin controls that
the Russians propose to give up
this spring.
TH)e Soviet leader insisted in a
20-minute speech that his govern
ment wants only peace — and
needs peace to carry out its seven
year economic expansion program.
Speaking before a big crowd in
a rain, he insisted all the Soviet
Union wants is peace.
“However much these people
rage,” he said of Western leaders,
“nothing will come of it.”
A crowd which the East German
Communist radio estimated at
“tens of thousands,” heard the
brief speech without marked en
thusiasm. They did cheer and ap
plaud, though, when he spoke of
peace.

Hoop Skill Brings
Seventh Graders
Overtime Victory
MIGHTY MITES WIN ! ! !
Basketball fans were treated to
a real display of hoop skill last
night when, in the preliminary
game, the Mighty Mites of the
Seventh Grade, coached by Frank
Denney, came from behind and
roared on to a narrow overtime
win over Coach Chauncy Sten
back’s Giant Wolverines of the
Eighth Grade.
The Mites, who showed real
hustle in their never-say-die ef
fort, were paced by a brilliant
floor game of Billy Bixby, and the
scoring of Cliff Bell and Mike i
Simon. Bixby and Bell, two real
midgets, gave a vivid demonstra
tion of how basketball can, be
played by little men.
The fracas started out as if it
were going to be a complete route
as the Wolverines, led by “Rocky”
Locke and “Shotgun” Cannon,
blistered the hoop and raced
ahead by a wide margin. In the
second quarter after Coach Sten
back had put in his reserves, the
Mighty Mites began to catch fire,
and by halftime had sneaked to
within 2 points of the leaders.
The second half proved to be
a heart-rending affair for the fans
backing the Wolverines. Coach
Stenback’s boys just did not seem
to be able to get going again, even
though they completely dominated
the backboards. In the other camp,
the Mighty Mites were not to be
denied, and they managed to stay
even with the Wolveries even
though they were badly out
manned. When the final buzzer
sounded the impossible had hap
pened, the Mites had tied the
score. By this time, the Wolver
ines were completely demoralized
and proved to be very inept in the
overtime period. The Mites’ ace
in the hole, Stan Andersen, coolly
sank a charity toss to ice the game
for the Seventh Graders.
MERCHANTS EDGE OUT
NATIONAL GUARD
In the main event of the even
ing, the ailing Nome Merchants
managed to hold off the towering
defenders of the North and score
a thrilling “squeaky” victory.
Little Sammy Mogg proved to be
the hero of the day, with his last
minute, over-the-head backwards,
with two hands, pass to Bob Har
wood. Harwood was fouled while
shooting, and sank the first free
throw to literally eliminate any
chance of the defenders winning.
It was a rugged battle, marred
by many fouls, with near mayhem
and smashing contact under the
boards. The lead changed many
times, and the tempo was always
full blast. Referees Bob Emmons
and Gary Longley did well to
keep open warfare from breaking
out.
After an extremely tight first
quarter, the shopkeepers built up
an 8 point lead, which proved too
large for the hustling defenders
to overcome.
In the scoring column, the Mer
chants were paced by George
Bell with 16, and the defenders
by rugged Bill Caldwell, who
stuffed 13 points through the
hoop.
THURSDAY NIGHT
BILL OF FARE
Thursday evening will prove to
be well worth the time of all bas
ketball fans, as there is a double
bill program featuring the "hun
gry” Huskies of the High School,
coached by Jane “Ma” Perkins,
tangling with the rough and
ready Alumni women, coached
by cagy Arnie Castel. The night
cap will again pi; the revenge
seeking National Guard against
the Merchants, in their best 2- out
of 3 series for the Nome league
crown.
