Time For A Review
NOME INVESTED $14,000 in new fire equipment
last fall, and has had no major fires for some
time, yet fire insurance remains at the same high rate
ias before tihe purchase of the new equipment and the
present low percentage of fires.
It is noted that in other parts of the State, cities
are rewarded by the Pacific Fire Rating Bureau, when
they take steps to safeguard against fire, and obtain
adequate fire protection, with a cut in rates.
A survey is recommended here to see if conditions
warrant a cut in rates, and if not, what additional
safeguards should be made known to the community
so that it can comply.
Ever since the fire of 1934, Nome residents have
paid a very 'high premium for fire protection, and it
is time that a review of conditions now be made.
A Symbol of Integrity
HERBERT HOOVER is a working man. He worked
his way through college. He worked his way to
success as a mining engineer, and he worked his way
'to the top in public life.
As a worker who knew the value of a dollar, and
the penalty for waste, he sought to instill business
principles of efficiency and economy in government
when he was President of the United States.
Such a policy at that time was not popular with
politicians who sold to the people the idea that enough
federal spending would pave the way to prosperity
when th going got tough. That bought votes, and the
idea of a fair return for value received went down the
river. The idea of spending our way to prosperity
with easy government money was launched.
Mr. Hoover who abhorred waste and ineficiency
in business as well as in government, returned to
private life, but not to retire. He continued to work
for the national welfare in countless ways. At the
risk of being unpopular he has sought to safeguard
his country from a spendthrift’s fate.
As he passes his 86th birthday, Mr. Hoover
stands revered by a nation as a symbol of integrity,
and an inspiration for a generation whose job it will
he to save this heritage from the ravages of debt and
inflation and destruction from within.

President Eisenhower Working On
De Gaulle to Accede to NATO Needs
By GEORGE McARTHUR
PARIS, W — President Eisen
hower Saturday urged French
President Charles De Gaulle to
give ground in his opposition to
integrating France’s military
forces with those of its Western
allies.
This was confirmed by author
itative sources after Eisenhower
and De Gaulle met for 55 minutes
following the opening session of
a three-day Western summit
meeting.
Eisenhower was reported to
have supported Secretary of State
Herter. Herter earlier last week
told the 15-nation NATO alliance
ministerial meeting that an inte
grated European defense system
was the basis on which the
United States keeps troops on
the continent.
The informant said the Amer
icans have convinced the French
of Eisenhower’s sincere support
for De Gaulle’s program for ending
the Algerian rebellion. The French
still have ruffled feelings because
they had expected stronger U. S.
support for their Algeian plan, but
they are beginning to play down
the disagreements, he said.
Big Change
The change was in marked con
trast with the situation only a
few days ago when it was being
said freely that Eisenhower’s stock
never stood so low in France.
Earlier, De Gaulle, Eisenhower,
British Prime Minister Harold
MacMillan and West German
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
opened their summit meeting in
general agreement that an East
West summit session should be
held. ‘
Their talks ranged over hopes
for unifying Germany and the
question of divided Berlin as well ■
as East-West negotiations on nu
clear disarmament.
The four leaders took up the
drafting of specific negotiating
proposals to be laid before Soviet
Premier Khrushchev at an East
West summit meeting next year.
A working group of diplomats
from the four nations is expected
to be set up to polish these pro
posals and to iron out differences.
In their meeting in De Gaulle’s
office, Eisenhower and the French
President also took in Algeria, an
other sore point in relations be
tween the two countries.
French Dissatisfied
France is unhappy because the
United States abstained recently
in the United Nations on a reso
lution — opposed by Paris —
urging the French and Algerian
rebels to negotiate.

Pure, Natural Water
France also feels the United
States should have given stronger
support to De Gaulle’s plan to
give Algeria the right of self
determination after peace is re
stored in that North African ter
ritory.
The main issue between the two
I leaders, however, is the French
attitude within the NATO alliance.
De Gaulle opposes the incorpo
ration of French forces in NATO.
Eisenhower is the obvious spokes
man for the 14 NATO allies of
France, all of whom are in favor
of defense integration. ,
Eisenhower and De 'Gaulle
started their private meeting after
more than two hours of four
power conversations at Elysee
Palace, which included Adenauer
and MacMillan.
Further Work on
Steel - Labor Crisis
Begins Today
CHICAGO, lift — The next move
in the nation’s steel-labor crisis
apparently will develop today
;when the industry’s management
is expected to disclose its attitude
toward new demands of the United
Steelworkers Union.
Both sides have been summoned
to meet todav in Washington for
renewed efforts to ne°otia4e a
settlement of the eight-month
long dispute.
Director Joseph F. Finnegan of
the Federal Mediation and Con
ciliation Service called Fridav for
a resumption of steel talks, in
abeyance since December 10 when
TJSW leaders left to participate
in bargaining sessions with the
aluminum industry in Chicago.
About the time Finnegan was
arranging the Washington meeting.
Steelworkers President David J.'
McDonald disclosed in Chicago the
union has made a double-barreled
demand of steel manageemnt:
1. The steelworkers made a 10
point settlement proposal asking
terms which McDonald said would
cost other companies “slightly
more” than the package nego
tiated with the Kaiser Steel Corp.
last month.
2. The union said it intends to
go to court, if necessary, to force
a shift from industry-wide to com
pany-level negotiations.
