Signs of Progress
ANOTHER SURE SIGN that Northwestern Alaska
continues to grow with the new State is the ,
announcement today of the opening of a Branch Bank
at Kotzebue by the Miners and Merchants Bank
of Nome.
The Miners and Merchants Bank, which was
established in in 1904, and which has assayed millions
in gold, along with its banking facility, will have the
distinction of having the first bank north of the Arctic
Circle in North America.
In addition to serving the people of the northern
part of this district more adequately, it will strengthen
the bond between the peoples of this district who are
scattered widely, helping to unify them in plans for
future developments along the coastal areas, to work
together for better roads, stronger defenses, as well
as educational and health improvements for the
coast people.
The Miners and Merchants Bank 'is to be con
gratulated for its vision, and esteemed for its faith

U. S. Stands Up to
Soviet Threats
WASHINGTON, UP) — The
United States told the Soviet
Union Tuesday tha this country
and its allies will not be deflected
by Soviet threats, from arming
with ballisic missiles or taking
any other joint defense measures.
In a note to Moscow, the United
States also accused the Soviet
Union of making “wholly un
founded charges” that West Ger
many has aggressive military
aims.
The note released by the State
Department rejected a Soviet pro
test of three weeks ago against
any U S. action to supply this
country’s European allies, partic
ularly West Germany, with me
dium-range ballistic missiles such
as the Polaris.
World tensions, the United
States declared, are the result of
threats uttered and steps taken
by the Soviet government.
“The repeated threats of the
Soviet government to take uni
lateral action with respect to
Germany and tn deprive the
people of Berlin of their freedom
stand in contrast to the construc
tive policies pursued by the freely
elected government of the Federal
Republic (West Germany),” the
U. S. note said.

| GOP Move for Civil
Rights Halted as
‘Political Byplay’
WASHINGTON, Wl — Senate
Democrats Tuesday slapped down
a Republican move to pass a civil
rights bill at the present bobtail
session of Congress. They accused
the Republicans of playing poli
tics and of trying to scuttle other
legislation.
i The battle came to a smash
ing climax shortly after it had
, been opened by Republican Lead
, er Everett Dirksen with the in
troduction of a two-point civil
rights bill urged by President
Eisenhower.
Sen. Joseph Clark (D-Pa>, a
leadng advocate of civil rights,
moved to table and thus kill Dirk
sen’s bill before it even had a
chance to be placed on the Sen
ate calendar.
The Senate approved the mo-1
tion.
Dirksen said that in offering
the bill he was not trying to em
barrass anybody but rather was
seeking to carry out Eisenhower’s
legislative program.
Dirksen told the Senate that his
move was “entirely free from
political or partisan considera
tions.”
j But Democrats saw it differ
ently. They called it political and
insisted it was designed to em
barrass them by pointing up the
split between northern and south
ern Democrats over the civil
rights issue.
Dirksen’s bill would have set
up a commission to try to end
racial discrimination in govern
ment contract employment and
would have provided aid for
schools complying with the Su
preme Court’s desegregation pro
gram.
Sen. Richard Russell <D-Gai
called Dirksen’s move “a purely
political byplay.”

Top Brass Studies Plan to
Streamline Ground Army
WASHINGTON, OP) — The
Army is considering a proposal
to use only two types of divsions
— heavy and medium — with all
present foot soldiers riding in
some kind of ground or air
vehicle.
Lt. Gen. Gordon Rogers, in
charge of development for the
Continental Army Command, said
in an address yesterday that the
recommendation has been made
to the Army Chief of Staff, Gen.
Lyman Lemnitzer, for revamping
the ground forces into what
would be called “Momar.’' That
means “modern mobile army,”
which would be attained in the
period of 1965-70, Rogers said.
