^ALL RIGHT, BUT DON’T EXPECT MIRACLES
i^Jg
IT IS WITH REGRET
WALTER HODGE, U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE of the
Second Division of Alaska since 1954, when he
came here upon appointment by President Eisen
hower, has not only filled that honorable position in
a most efficient manner, but has served on the bench
in all the other three divisions.
His decisions in all parts of Alaska have won
him the respect of the people and praise from his
colleagues, the many attorneys - with whom he has
worked.
It is with regret that the community must bid
farewell to Walter Hodge who has in addition to his
officials duties found time to take an active part in
civic affairs through the Chamber of Commerce and
Rotary Club; serve his church in more than one capa
city; assist in making the Scout program what it is
today; work with the Pioneers as an honorary mem
ber. His leadership will be missed.
Governor Egan has chosen well in naming Walter
Hodge as one of the first three judges of the Supreme
Court of the State of Alaska. His understanding of the
problems unique to each section of the vast state,
through personal experience since becoming an Alas
kan in 1925, makes him a most valuable member of
this important judicial body.
Our best wishes go with him as he assumes his j
new responsibility in the capitol city.

SEE WINTER ALASKA FIRST
TOURIST STATISTICS from Weisbaden, Germany
show reservations for overnight visitors for the
winter season of 1958-59 were 33,800,000 persons who j
were guests in 48 different cities.
Alaska’s visitors have been many for the past
summer and it has been thought that not many people
travel during the winter months.
The figures for Germany alone indicates that
more work must be done to promote winter tours
and make winter in Alaska as interesting as the
summers.
Anytime should be travel time in Nome.
Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot
at without result. —Winston Churchill.

Eisenhower Assures De Gaulle and
Adenauer He will Make No Deal with
Khrushchev Behind Their Backs
By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH
WASHINGTON, —President
Eisenhower said yesterday one
purpose of his trip to Europe is
to pledge Western unity “in op
posing, by force if necessary, any
aggression” against the Allies.
The President also told a news
conference that on his trip, start
ing Wednesday, he wants to
pledge once again “America’s de
votion to peace with honor and
justice.”
Eisenhower met with newsmen I
about 14 hours in advance of his
scheduled departure for confer
ences with leaders of West Ger
many, Britain and France.
His talks with them will be a
prelude to his discussions with
Soviet Premier Khrushchev in
Washington starting Sept. 15, and
to his own planned visit to the
Soviet Union later in the fall.
On his trip to Europe, Eisen
hower will meet first in Bonn
with West Germany’s Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer; in Britain
with Prime Minister Harold Mac
Millan, and in France with Presi
dent Charles De Gaulle.
At the outset of his session with
reporters, Eisenhower announced
he wanted to read a statement.
Reading from it, he then said |
his trip to Europe has several j
purposes, and added that one is: |
“To ple.dge once again, in the
several capitals I shall visit, Am
erica’s devotion to peace with
honor and justice.”

Next in clear words of caution
obviously directed to the Soviet
Union, the President said a fur
ther purpose of his journey is:
“To support Western unity in
opposing, by force if necessary,
any aggression; and to preserve
the defensive strength required
for our common security
Besides their caution to Rus
sia, the President’s words seemed
intended also as reassurance to
Adenauer and De Gaulle—both of
whom reportedly have misgivings
about the President’s forthcom
ing talks with Khrushchev—that
under no circumstances will he
make any deals behind their
backs.
Japan Hopes to Televise
1964 Olympic Games
To Rest of the World
TOKYO, [ff\ — Japan hopes to
set up an international network
to televise the 1964 Olympic
games to most of the world.
Broadcasting officials say this is
technically feasible.
“Whether this ambitious proj
ect materializes will depend on
the cooperation of other coun
tries and the availability of
funds,” says Yoshitomi Tanabe,
executive director of the Japan
Broadcasting Corp., which is con
ducting a study of the proposed
project.
“It could be done by setting
up two microwave networks, one
from Tokyo to Europe via south
east Asia, and the other to the
Americas by way of the Aleu
tians,” Tanabe adds.
“Other methods for internation
al television relay have been sug
gested, including the use of arti
ficial satellites and even the moon
but there is no assurance yet that
man’s knowledge will have pro
gressed enough to permit their
practical application by 1984.”
