Operation Clean - Up
461VT°me IS THE CLEANEST town in Alaska” —
-I ^ Yes, the thousands of tourists who will be pass
ing through Nome this summer could say that if we
all get together and cooperate in the community-wide
effort which is now under way.
It takes action, not words — and it can be done.
It is not a glamorous job, getting out and picking up
the tin cans and other debris, but it is a satisfying
one. Furthermore, it is catching ! When you start
cleaning up your yard, your neighbor will not want to
be outdone, so he will clean his, too.
There are many seventh, eighth grade, and High
School boys who don’t know what to do with them
selves. We urge them to volunteer now to clean up
church and civic building yards which have all gath
ered their share of junk and garbage throughout the
winter months.
Let’s not stop there this year, but go on to beau
tify the front yard too, by starting a campaign.to trans
plant wildflowers and natural shrubs around our
homes.
4Case of The Immortal Holmes'
THE CENTENARY of the'birth of Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle is the subject of an editorial in The London
Times. His popularity, The Times says, has never
slumped, and he has been remarkably immune from
debunkers of reputation. Historical and detective
novels and short stories have been written and re
written since Conan Doyle so gloriously made good
in them, but his characters continue to be warmly
welcomed from nurseries to club rooms. Sherlock
Holmes must be an immortal, otherwise we should
have got sick of him through overpraise.

‘Hap' Chandler’s Hopes
For Presidential Run
Slimming, as Backers Fall
LOUISVILLE, Ky., UP> — Bert
T. Combs, a country attorney
whose drawl charmed big city
voters, led substantially today in
the Democratic gubernatorial nom
ination battle and slowly strangled
Governor Chandler’s 1960 Presi
dential aspirations.
With 1,976 of the state’s 3,784
precincts tabulated, Combs was
out in front of Lt. Gov. Harry Lee
Waterfield, Chandler’s choice, by
31,425 votes.
Chandler, barred by law from
seeking re-election, had counted
on Waterfield’s nomination, and
possible election in November, to
sew up Kentucky’s 30 votes at
the Democratic National Conven
tion.
Combs, backed by former U. S.
Senator Earle Clements, was ex
pected to deliver them to Sen.
Lyndon Johnson of Texas if he
seeks the nomination.

| Communist Warrior
Chiefs’ Gathering In
Albania Stirs Speculation
By HAL R. COOPER
LONDON, (#> — The mystery of
i Nikita Khrushchev’s 12-day visit
| to Albania deepened today with
! the announcement that Red Chi
na’s defense minister, Marshal
Peng Teh-huai, is bound for
Albania.
Khrushchev is accompanied by
I the Soviet Defense Minister, Mar
I shal Rodion Malinovsky. The
planned presence of the armed
forces chiefs of the two great
Communist nations in the tiny sat
ellite nation simultaneously
aroused speculation among West
ern diplomats.
Also known to be in Albania
is Otto Grotewohl, Premier of
Communist East Germany. For all
the Western world knows, other
Red leaders may either be there
or headed in that direction.
Enver Hoxha, boss of the Al
banian Communist Party, scoffed
yesterday at what he called
“Western speculation on the true
aims of the Soviet delegation’s
visit.”
“The secret which has prompted
Comrade Khrushchev to come to
Albania for 12 days — leaving
behind him at home numerous
important matters requiring his
attention — is the great and sin
cere friendship he entertains
toward all our people.”
Hoxha said the visit, although
innocent of any ulterior purpose,
“is of great international impor
tance, because it will facilitate
consolidation of the socialist
camp, the consolidation of world
peace.”

Packers Disdain
Value of Limited
Bristol Bay Season
SEATTLE, OP — Opening of
Alaska’s Bristol Bay to limited
commercial fishing for red salmon
was greeted in Seattle with re
strained enthusiasm Tuesday.
“It will help, but not too much,”
said a spokesman for the Alaska
Salmon Industry, Inc.
Another industry leader, Wil
liam Calvert of the San Juan Fish
ing and Packing Co., said the
lateness of the decision caught
most packers unprepared for the
month-long opening June 22.
Calvert said many key men in
the cannery and fisheries opera
tions have taken other jobs be
cause of the previously announced
closure of Bristol Bay and will be
unavailable even for a limited
season. Packers also will have to
move quickly to shift supplies to
the area.
Secretary of the Interior Seaton
announced in Washington late
Monday that the ban on Bristol
Bay fishing would be eased to
permit limited commercial catches
in all of the bay’s major districts.
He said both drift and set nets
will be allowed to operate for
weekly fishing periods to be based
on the gear registered for Bristol
Bay.
Seaton said the change was or
dered after discussions with the
Japanese indicated fishing irf the
red salmon areas of the North Pa
cific will not be as intense as
last year.
