Birth of Ike’s Namesake I
Heralded By Flying Of
Special Family Flag
COMPTON, Calif., Iff) — The
Fischer family figured that the
arrival of a new Fischer was a
mighty important event—worth
the flying of a special flag.
Mrs. Elaine Fischer’s baby was
overdue and the neighbors kept
inquiring. Finally she told her
husband, salesman Hal Fischer:
“We’re always flying flags on
holidays. Tell them we’ll fly a
flag when the baby’s born.”
A 6-pound 6-ounce boy arrived
yesterday, the Fischer’s fourth
child. Fischer proudly hoisted a
flag on the front porch. The flag
shows a baby lying on a blanket
in a deep blue background with
the words: “It’s a boy.” The child
was named Dwight David. Fischer
telegraphed President Eisenhower
that his namesake had arrived.

ELECT HADLEY STEPHENS
Delegate for Territory at Large
GIVE US A GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE
ALASKA’S CONSTITUTION
We should make it a good one—one which even the "just"
can repair. Three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000.00) of the
taxpayers' money is to go for writing this document.
Why do the lowest paid workers of California seem to enjoy
a belter standard of living than the average worker in Alaska
can afford? Why do politicians and legislators of both Wash
ington. D.C. and Juneau, Alaska allow the lower paid working
people of Alaska not even enough tax exempt salary to keep
body and soul together?
What do the people of Alaska want done about this unfair
situation? Are they willing to stand up on their hind legs and
be counted?
If Congress passes unanimously a resolution "favoring self
government or independence for all people" and, if Congress
pours ten billion American tax dollars into just one foreign
country, like France, in the last ten years, then why in the name
of "God Almighty" do our legislators allow people trying to
exist in Alaska only $600.00 per year exemption when it costs
several times that much to live in Alaska, even on a substandard
level? Perhaps the* people should be represented other than by
attorneys, lobbyists and professional politicians.
With the right leaders and the right political status, Alaska
could prosper and build cities, roads and industries where
human life might have an equal chance with the rest of the
world at "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" with
freedom from foreign taxation and freedom from foreign dis
crimination.
If Alaska's editors, politicians, religious leaders, labor
leaders, business leaders, social leaders, etc., would compromise
and work together in a statesmanship-like manner for the com- :
mon cause—progress as the public good requires—then perhaps
a new and better civilization would come out of the wilderness
now known as Alaska. We might get some results for a change
if Alaska's leaders should work together as the signers of the
Declaration of Independence who "mutually pledged to each
other their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor."

Turkey to Try
3,000 (or Action in
Anti-Greek Riots
ISTANBUL, Turkey, WV-The
Turkish Defense Ministry Friday
night relieved three generals who
held important commands in Is
tanbul when anti-Greek rioting
broke out.
The defense ministry’s commu
nique said the officers were re
lieved of their duties after a full
investigation of the rioting, de
struction and looting that swept
Istanbul.
A curfew from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m.
and a ban on all gatherings is still
in force.* Similar measures have
been taken in the capital of An
kara and the seaport of Izmir, al
so placed under martial law by
the cabinet.
Meanwhile, the army set up
three special military tribunals in
Istanbul to try 3,000 persons ar
rested on charges of looting and
violence. Similar courts have been
established in the other two cities.
Turkish newspapers said the
riots had done damage 10 times
the value of Cyprus, the British -
crown colony island off Turkey
whose future has sparked Turk
ish-Greek conflict.
Greece wants Britain to give
the island the right to vote wheth
er it should have union with
Greece and the Turks violently
support British opposition to that
course.
In England, it was announced
the British light fleet ^aircraft car
rier Ocean has hurriedly loaded
with stores and left Saturday for
the 4,000-mile trip to re-enforce
the British fleet and air forces on
Cyprus.
