Welccme To The Anchorage Chamber of Commerce
We’re ia big country. The world is finding out
about it every day by the thousands of visitors who
are here this time of the year to see for themselves
this beautiful northern territory which keeps
* clamoring for statehood and never gives up regard
less how it is treated.
We’re such a big country that when our nearest
neighboring town visits us it is an occasion. We
don’t get to visit our neighbors either because there
isn’t a road and that is one of the most important
projects that means much to both Anchorage and
Nome. Any improvements, any development in
Northwestern Alaska means more business for An
chorage, so our business is their business too.
We’re glad you came so that we can under
stand each other better over a cup of coffee and
sound out our views on water power in this area to
•help develop our vast potential, to console *each other
on being half citizens, unable to vote for President
or have representation in Congress and to make
plans for the future as friends and neighbors.
We’re glad you came and maybe we can return
the visit in the near future. Make yourself at home.

Republicans Bow
To Ike’s Decision
Concerning Adams
WASHINGTON, Wi — Sen.
William F. Knowland said Thurs
day there is a serious question
whether Sherman Adams “has so
hurt his usefulness in his position
that it will be harmful to the
broad policies” of President Eisen
hower.
The Senate GOP leader told a
news conference the' question is
one “which both Gov. Adams
and the President must carefully
weigh.”
Knowland made his comment
in response to a question as ,to
whether he believed Adams, the
No.’ 1 aide to the President,
should remove himself from the
government.
Knowland said he did not be
lieve the acceptance of gifts by
public officials, was good public
policy in the previous Democratic
. administration.
And, he said he adheres to that
position as to the present admin
istration.
Knowland said it was “a mis
take in judgment and not good
public policy” for Adams to ac
cept gifts from Bernard Gold
fine, a Boston industrialist.
Asked whether he would pro
pose a code of conduct for state
officials if successful in his cam
paign for governor of California,
Knowland said he believes “pub
lic officials should not accept
gifts of this kind, and that ap
plies to both state and federal
office.”
Among Congressional Repub
licans generally, the prevailing
attitude seemed to be one of
bowing to Eisenhower’s decision
to keep Adams on the job al
though many made it plain they
aren’t happy. about it.

MacMillan Proposes
7-Year Plan For
Future of Cyprus
LONDON, UP) — Prime Minister
MacMillan announced Thursday
a seven-year plan for the future"
of Cyprus which provides for i
participation of Greek and Turk- j
ish governments in the admin
istration of the island.
MacMillan described the pro
posal to the House of Commons
as “an adventure in partnership.”
He also promised that cessation
of violence in Cyprus—a British
Crown Colony populated by
400,000 persons of Greek descent
and 100,000 of Turkish descent—*
would bring a relaxation of emer
gency regulations, including re
turn of Cypriots now excluded
from the island.
While he named no names, this
reference jvas taken to mean that
Archbishop Makarios, leader of
the Greek Cypriot community,
would be allowed to return to
Cyprus when order is restored.
He is now an exile in Greece.
Greek Cypriots want the is
land to become Greek. ^Turks
want the land partitioned. The
dispute has been a bitter one and
fighting last week between
Greeks and Turks on Cyprus cost
at least 17 lives.
