The Golden Years Can be Made Golden
FDR SEVERAL MONTHS, there has been a series
of continuing studies on problems brought about
by the White House Conference on Aging. The
organizations who have shared in this study dealing
with financial and medical problems as well as
employment for those who cannot carry on the type
of work they have been doing, but who are not ready
to retire.
During the course of these studies it has come to
light that the aged in Nome, who are confined to their
homes, receive very little attention, except those who
have close friends or families.
It is rather shocking to learn that there are
oldsters in our cmomunity who go for days without a
caller or a bit of assistance from anyone.
Other communities are being made aware of this
need by this conference, which is in progress all over
America, and some states where there are a greater
proportion of senior citizens have made a lot of prog
ress. One state has Girl Scouts who are “friendly
visitors.” Another 'has a group of teenagers who
follow a statewide Junior Friendly Visiting Program.
Still another state has a Senior Citizens Service Cen
ter assistance program, which has been in progress
since 1958.
Women’s groups of local churches, as well as
other service organizations within the community,
while searching for a worthy project might do well to
take the old folks under their wing, to stimulate their
lives and lessen their loneliness and dejection, because
one day each of us reaches the Golden Age.

Dischner Says Egan
Misunderstood His
Party Activities
JUNEAU, UPi — Misinterpreta
tion of his activities during the
State Democratic Convention was
cited toy Lewis Dischner as the
reason for his dismissal as Alaska
Commissioner of Labor.
Dichner, fired by Governor Egan
two days after the convention
ended in Anchorage, issued a 500
word statement concerning the ac
tion when he left office formally
Friday.
Dischner said he attended the
convention “with but one purpose
— to try to bring together the
labor element in the Democratic
Party and avoid a split that was
threatening.”
To this end he backed a re
organization plan to trim the
power of the party’s central com
mittee chairman, John Hellenthal,
Anchorage representative who has
been criticized by labor forces.
Wendell P. Kay, Anchorage
lawyer, was named head of a
five-man policy committee created
by the convention with the party’s
central committee.
“When Mr. Hellenthal was not
elected chairman of the policy
group,” Dischner said, “the Gov
ernor was led to believe that
somehow he had been double
crossed and in retaliation fired
me for this reason.”
“Somehow,” Dischner said,
“Governor Egan received the mis
taken idea this reorganization plan
was aimed at him, but quite the
contrary it was the desire for
party harmony. . .
Dischner’s chief deputy, Bjorn
iGil) Johnson, has been named to
the $15,000-a-year post pending
selection of a successor for the
cabinet job.

Hagerty Says Ike Must
Hurry Home After Asian
Tour Ends June 23
By JAMES CAREY
TOKYO, Iff) — White House
Press Secretary Hagerty last
week narrowed the possibilities of
President Eisenhower extending
his Asian tour in June to Formosa
and the Philippines.
“I don’t see how the President
can add any visits on this trip
because he has to get back to
Washington,” Hagerty stated.
He told a news conference the
President would be guarded by
less than 30 secret service men
during his June 19-23 stay here,
sliced by an eight-hour visit to
Korea on June 22.
Hagerty said a tentative itiner
ary has been prepared and made
plain it would include a golfing
engagement with Japanese Prime
Minister Nobusuke Kishi.
One hundred newsmen — 70
Americans and about 30 foreign
nationals including Japanese ac
credited to cover the White House
— will accompany the President
to Japan.
Eisenhower will come to Japan
after a trip to the Soviet Union.
The Presidential party and accom
panying newsmen will be flown
in Russian planes across Siberia to
Khabarovsk, where American
planes will be waiting to bring
them to Japan.

Castro Leads Force
I To Crush Anti
Government Plot
j By HAROLD K. MILKS
j HAVANA, UP) — The pro-Castro
newspaper LaCalle says rural
police and military authorities
have blocked an attack on a sub
urban police post by a band of
youths seeking arms to join anti
Castro forces in the eastern Cuban
mountains. Four youths were re
ported arrested.
At the same time it was learned
military intelligence officers were
rounding up persons in Havana
and elsewhere suspected of being
implicated in plots against Prime
Minister Fidel Castro’s revolu
tionary regime.
The number detained was not
determined, but one source said
Friday night it probably would
run into the hundreds before the
arrests ended. Many were being
released after questioning.
Castro personally directed a
strong, battle-equipped force in
the Sierra Maestra Mountains
hunting ex-Capt. Manuel Beaton
and his elusive guerrilla band.
Rain and fog hampered the mili
tary operation, carried out under
a tight lid of secrecy.

Permission to Carry Arms
NEW YORK, UP)—There will be

Kennedy said after a conference
with taxicab representatives yes
terday that it had been agreed
arming cab drivers would be
“courting trouble.”
There has been a wave of taxi
holdups recently.
