WHY DOESN’T HE GIVE UP?
Mr •
The Missing Link . . .
AN ENTERPRISING privately owned airplane com
pany has seen the need of a route from Nome to
Bethel and has made application with CAB for such
a route to be established and approved.
This link in the communications and transporta
tion is important to the development of the Kusko
kwim and that little known area between these two
points and it is strange that existing airlines who have
been operating in that area have not sought this con
nection before.
This route would facilitate travel for individuals
and business people who will be able to generate busi
ness with this backward area and aid greatly in its
development. A direct route would mean more busi
ness for Nome as well as a better understanding among
the people who inhabit this part of Northern Alaska.
Local civic groups should urge the CAB to take action
that such a route be established.

Ike Says We
Should Stand Firm
On Berlin Crisis
GETTYSBURG, Pa. W — For
mer President Dwight Eisen
hower said yesterday the United
States must “stand firmly in
Berlin and not let anybody scare
us out.”
“Berlin has always been an ex
plosive situation,” Eisenhower
said, “but America’s spirit and
courage are up to it. The United
States is strong and we shouldn’t
scare ourselves to death. We
should keep confident and strong
and keep our powder dry.”
The former President said he
had no quarrel with the Kennedy
Administration over its stand on
Berlin. “We must stand by our j
rights and stand with our allies,” \
he added. He indicated, too, that j
Americans should be united be- j
hind the President on foreign aid j
and defense.
Eisenhower made his com- j
ments at a doorstep news confer
ence at his office at Gettysburg j
College after a 70-minute meet- 1
ing with Gov. Nelson Rockefeller :
of New York.
It was the first meeting be
tween the two men since late in
the 1960 campaign. The governor,
who had requested the meeting,
said most of the discussion
centered around politics and par
ticularly the developing race for
mayor of New York.
In response to a question,
Rockefeller said he had not asked
Eisenhower to speak in that cam- I
paign, “but it would mean an
awful lot to us if he did.”
Rockefeller said his discussion
with Eisenhower included “no
talk of 1964.” Rockefeller is ex
pected to be a candidate for the
Presidential nomination in that
year.
CRISP AND CLEAN . . .
TOKYO UFi — A safe washed
away by a flood three days ago
was found Monday buried in the |
dry bed of the Kano River 100
miles southwest of Tokyo.
Inside, crisp and clean, were
$3,500 worth of Japanese cur
rency and stock certificates.
Not all cancers are alike. They
differ in type, rate of growth and
response to treatment. But, the
American Cancer Society ex
plains, most cancers have one
thing in common: they’re most
curable when diagnosed and
treated early.
53-Year-Old One-Legged
Man Survives a Week
In the Mojave Desert
•CAMP IRWIN, Calif. (*» — A
53-year-old man with an arti
ficial leg, stranded for a week
without food in searing desert
heat, says his dog saved his life.
Ramon C. Miller, a furniture
buyer from Fresno, was found
Monday by two ordnance inspec
tors in a remote section of the
Camp Irwin military reservation,
85 miles northeast of San Bernar
dino.
He said he took a shortcut
across the Mojave Desert July 4,
then ran out of gas south of
Death Valley and northeast of
Barstow.
Doctors at the camp hospital
said both Miller and his dog,
Gretchen, were in remarkably
good condition.
“I was just about ready to give
up,” Miller said. “I never would
have made it if it hadn’t been
for Gretchen.” He said the dog
defended him from coyotes as he
fled to a desert cave.
Miller estimated he walked 15
miles. He had bruises on the
stump of his left leg, lost in an
auto accident. The dog was
bruised and scarred from fights
with animals.
Temperatures in the area where
Miller was found often exceed
120 degrees, said Maj. John
Waters, executive officer of the
Irwin Army Hospital.
