Tribute To Those Who Served
VETERANS DAY is set aside to pay tribute to those
men and women who serve and have served their
country, and particularly those who gave their lives,
or are crippled because of their service.
Every year we get closer to the time when there
will be no more wars, no more veterans, as the desire
for peace is felt around the world. Our civilization
has thus far failed to find the sucessful way of settling
differences without force, and we match strength to
strength for survival.
Peace must someday be assured, but until the
time when we can trust all our fellow men, it will
take many thousands of veterans, whose courage and
sacrifices will be the defense of our Nation.
Newspapers in The Schoolroom
(From the Christian Science Monitor)
~JVTEWSPAPERS HAVE BECOME increasingly use
J-1 ful in recent years as a supplement to the basic
textbooks in grade schools, junior high and high schools
in many parts of the United States. This is not
entirely a new development, since some teachers have
made use of newspapers for 30 years or more to visual
ize such subjects as English, natural science, and
social studies.
With world developments moving ever faster, it
is more and more difficult to keep standard textbooks
up to date. But by paralleling textbook fundamentals
with events of the day from the printed page, teachers
not only show the application of school subjects to
current living, but equip pupils in the use of a source
of information for their adult lives.
This trend is almost sure to, have a three-way
effect. A generation of trained readers will look to
their newspapers more and more for significant facts
and logical interpretation of the world about them.
Editors, conscious of such a segment in their reader
ship, will be stimulated to turn out an even more
meaningful and reliable product. And educators, it
may be hoped, will find journalism a progressively
more acceptable ally in their work.
The newspaper profession must regard the use
of its product in the schoolroom as both a compliment
and a challenge.

Union Leader
Charges T-H Order
Is Political Payoff
WASHINGTON, UP) — The
White House yesterday described
as demagoguery the charge by
labor leader Emil Mazey that
President Eisenhower’s actions in
the steel strike were a political
payoff to the steel companies.
Press Secretary James C. Hag
erty told newsmen: “Such dema
goguery, leveled against President
Eisenhower, is, of course, not
really worthy of comment. I am
sure that the American people
realize that the President acted
only when it was clear that the
welfare of the United States dic
tated positive action under the
law. Such action was upheld by
the courts of our land.”
Mazey, secretary-treasurer of
the United Auto Workers, made
his accusations against Eisenhower
in a speech Monday to the con
vention of the AFL-CIO Indus
trial Union Department.
Mazey asserted that Eisenhower
used the Taft-Hartley law to end
the steel strike as a payoff to
corporations which backed Eisen
hower in the 1956 Presidential
campaign.
Both George Meany, AFL-CIO
president, and Walter Reuther,
auto union president, charged in
other speeches that the injunc
tion procedure used to end the
steel strike is a one-sided solu
tion against unions.
They said it bore out labor’s
charges that the Taft-Hartley Act
is a slave-labor statute that can
be used to make men work
against their will: »
The union group itself claim
ing to represent seven million la
bor union members, adopted a
resolution criticizing the govern
ment’s action as an attempt at
strike-breaking.
“This injunction was imposed
deliberately after the strike be
gan to pinch the industry in its
most sensitive nerve center — its
pocketbook” the union resolution
said.
Alaska Salmon Association
Votes to Quit Operations
SEATTLE, GW — Directors of
Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc.,
have voted to suspend operations
of the organization, Managing Di
rector W. C. Arnold said Tuesday.
The organization represents
major Alaska packers in their re
lations with labor, government,
and one another.
Arno'd, who said he is sure the
organization will not represent
the industry in preparation for the
I960 season, warned in a speech
to the annual convention of the
Association of Pacific Fisheries
that Seattle is losing its position
as the world’s salmon capitol.
“If you are under the delusion
that this (Alaska salmon) resource
is to be controlled or dominated
by Seattle or any other place out
side the State of Alaska, then you
are butting your head against a
stone wall. . . . There is a ques
tion whether groups that now
control the industry will continue
to dominate it,” Arnold told the
delegates.
Alaska Salmon Industry was
organized in 1940 as a successor
to previous trade organizations,
with labor relations its primary
purpose.

City Asked to
Provide Slide
Areas for Children
At the regular Council meeting
held on Monday night, Council
woman Verna Mickelson was ap
pointed chairman of the Health
and Relief Committee, and as
second on Finance and Building.
Councilman Edman was ap
pointed chairman of the Fire and
Water Committee.
The City Building has been
put in better shape, the Fire Hall
has been remodeled to accommo
date the new Fire Truck, and the
inside of City Hall is being
painted.
The Street Committee reported
moving one of the three mer
cury vapor streets lights formerly i
burning at Front and Steadman
Streets to a location in front of !
Cavota’s Store.
A letter received from the Home
Arts Club suggested the City
embark on a two-fold program
to provide play areas for children.
First, the letter suggested, the
City provide- off-traffic locations
for winter sliding, fashioning
play areas with city snow removal
equipment in several different
locations, so that children will
have slide areas.
Second, the letter went on, in
view of the recent fatality, the
need is very apparent for play
ground space. It suggested the
City close off streets or alleys
for pre-school children to use dur
ing school hours and to provide
play areas for other children after
school hours. The Council decided
to review these requests because
of complications involving insur
ance liability, etc., but felt some
areas may be made suitable, such
as the area by the old brewery
on D Street.
City Attorney James von der
Heydt submitted his resignation
in order to devote his full time
to his newly-appointed duties of
State Superior Judge at Juneau.
The Council replied that it wished
to delay acceptances of his resig
nation until it has an opportunity
to review pending city legal mat
ters with Mr. von der Heydt.
Notice of inspection of the
city-owned steam boilers was
offered from the State Boiler
Inspector. The matter of correct
ing the building boiler irregulari
ties was turned over to Council
man Hedreen, and that of the
street boiler was turned over to
Councilman Doyle. It was brought
out that a new street boiler will
probably be required for city use.
The Health and Relief Commit
tee reported a certain business es
tablishment has been dumping
its garbage in an unsuitable spot 1
behind its building, and further
action is necessary.
Further discussion was held on
the city’s application to the Sur
geon General of the United States
in the project to acquire sewer
and water facilities. Discussion
was held on operation, mainten
ance and project coverage.
Roscoe Wilke, in the audience,
suggested a further rate study be
made by the Utility Board. Coun
cil made the request to the Utility j
Board to accomplish the rate
study and to report its findings1
by December 14.
Mr. Wilke also made a request
that the City contact Mr. Eli
Mulch to acquire extra playground
Recovered Radio
Brings Back Data
From 1,060 Miles
WALLOPS ISLAND, Va., —
A five-stage rocket hurled a tiny
radio transmitter 1,050 statute
miles into a cold cloudless sky
yesterday. The nose cone dropped
into the Atlantic about 28 min
utes later some 800 miles offshore.
The instruments it carried aloft
sent back new information on the
electronic intensity of space more
than 800 miles up.
The vapor trail and smoke left
as the rocket roared upward
could be seen along,most of this
Delaware - Maryland - Virginia
peninsula. There was virtually no
wind, and the long column hung
motionless for several minutes.
The shoot was conducted by the
! Army’s Ballistic Research Labora
; tories based at the Aberdeen
Proving Grounds, Md., in cooper- >
ation with the National Aero
nautics and Space Administra-.
tion.
The Army said all phases of
of the shoot — dubbed “Strong
! arm” — performed just as ex
pected.
j The tiny transmitter was de
signed and packaged by Dr. Ly
man W. Orr of the University of
Michigan to get a reading on the
amount of electronic activity in
j the upper reaches. It had not been
measured at that height before.
The data, when fully compiled,
will be distributed to the 66 na
tions participating in the Interna
j tional Geophysical Year Program.
The Army plans to use the in
formation for military purposes.
It now will know more accurate
ly what type of space interconti
nental ballistic missiles and anti
ICBMs will be operating in.
The rocket assembly consisted
of an Honest John rocket, two
Nike-Ajax boosters, a modified
Recruit and a “scaled” Sergeant
missile. The complete package
measured 56V£ feet and weighed
7,125 pounds. It was designed to
reach a speed of 17,000 feet a
second at burhout.

I space for the school. Mr. Mulch
owns considerable property in the
vicinity of the school playground.
[ The City Clerk was directed to
| write Mr. Mulch on this matter.
Mr. Wilke also suggested t'~at sales
tax delinquencies should become
public information.
Rev. Amundson questioned the
Council as to how the City could
feed prisoners adequately for 11
cents per meal. The Chief of
Police explained that supplies on
; hand, which were obtained free
from surplus Army stores and
other sources, comprise the bulk
of the victuals, and the 11 cents
is simply the real cost to the City.
It was also pointed out that city
prisoners are fed three times
1 daily, whereas in other towns
prisoners do not fare as well.
City Clerk Robert Scott re
ported he will be traveling to
Fairbanks for a Local Boundary
Commission meeting. During his
absence the city matron will an
swer the phone and attend to
office matters. Magistrate’s Court
prisoners will be brought before
the U. S. Commissioner during
his absence.
