■\TEXT TUESDAY IT’S BACK TO SCHOOL for sev
-L 1 eral hundred children in Nome.
There are more and more students in the teen
age group who have had jobs this summer who do not
plan to return to school. They have had their first
taste of being a wage earner and like the feel of their
independence.
Alaska Labor Commissioner Gii Johnson states
that national statistics reveal that young people drop
ping out of school have a harder time finding jobs,
suffer more prolonged periods of unemployment and
are paid less and promoted more slowly than their
friends who finish school.
If you are one of the teenagers in Nome who is
considering dropping out, we urge you to take advan
tage of the opportunity offered here and continue in
school until you have a high school diploma. A con
ference with the school superintendent will help you
dhoose subjects best suited for you.

ponsibility Act.

iKhrushchev Will
Attend U.N, In
New York Sept. 2;5
LONDON, UPl — Soviet Premier
Khrushchev will attend the 15th
session of the United Nations As
sembly in New York, Moscow
radio announced Thursday night.
The session begins Sept. 20.
A meeting of the heads of all
the Communist states in eastern
Europe may be shaping up for the
Assembly session.
This will be Khrushchev’s sec
ond visit to the United States. He
traveled across the nation last
year at the invitation of President
Eisenhower.
No invitation will be involved
in the trip coming up, since heads
of all states with U.N. member
ship have the privilege of going
to U.N. headquarters at any time.
Khrushchev has said he expects
the General Assembly to be
largely concerned with problems
of disarmament
On his first U.S. visit Khrush
chev appeared before the United
Nations and put forward his plan
for total world disarmament to be
achieved within three years.
This plan was rejected by the
West as unrealistic. It continued
to be the basic plan served up by
Communist bloc delegates at the
10-nation disarmament talks at
Geneva until the talks were broke
off this summer by a Communist
walkout.
At the time of his first U.S.
visit the cold war was being
thawed by Khrushchev policy. He
invited President Eisenhower to
visit the Soviet Union and the
President accepted.
Then came the May Paris sum
mit conference, and a drastic
change in Soviet policy.
Eisenhower has said he would
be willing to consider going to
New York to meet Khrushchev if
it was evident a personal con
frontation would serve some use
ful purpose.
But the Russian Premier’s
stream of personal abuse against
Eisenhower would undoubtedly
make personal relations between
the two awkward and strained.
The General Assembly session
will run for about three months.
It seems likely Khrushchev uTill
attend for a short time and then
go home, turning leadership of
the delegation over to Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko.

MMM Hospital Room
Rates Are Increased
The MMM Hospital Board ap
proved Wednesday evening an
increase in hospital rates to meet
increased expenses.
Increased expenses were ex
plained to be due to higher sal
aries being paid the staff and the
fact that much of the equipment
which was new when the hospital
opened ten years ago, will have
to be replaced soon.
The new rates will be $30 for
a semi-private room, and $28 for
the ward.
Private room, isolation or men
tal cases will be $35.
Several thousand dollars of re
placement equipment is now on
order to keep the hospital fully
accredited as it has been in the
past.
The rate increases become ef
fective immediately, but are sub
stantially below rates in both
Fairbanks and Anchorage hos
pitals.
Mrs. Frank Mapleton arrived
this morning with Wien Airlines
to be a guest of Judge and Mrs.
Hubert Gilbert. Mrs. Mapleton is
from Fairbanks.
