IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF MANY GREAT AMERICANS
THE CHAMBER AND THE LAND OFFICE
Time has proven again and again that the N.W.
Alaska Chamber of Commerce has its finger on the
pulse of the needs of the community. When they fought
the closing of the land office because they had the
vision to foresee the developments in mining which
were inevitable. They knew what they were talking
about. Now industry demands that the office be re
established as a necessary convenience in the Division
where mining is foremost. This time it will be a per
manent establishment and an aid to the future.
MORE THAN TWO CANDIDATES
With the presidential campaign well under way
with charges and counter-charges, most of us have lost
sight of the fact that there are actually more than two
candidates in the race. Only the names “Eisenhower”
and “Stevenson” are placed before our eyes each day
in news reports, and only their voices are heard and
their faces seen over radio and television.
To keep the record straight, there are more than
two people running for the important job of chief exec
utive of this nation. The Socialist party is backing Dar
lington Hoopes, of Reading, Pa. The Prohibition party’s
candidate is singer and evangelist Stuart Hamblen of
Arcadia, Calif.
Vincent W. Hallinan, of San Francisco, is the Pro
gressive party’s standard bearer. Hallinan served a
* uil sentence recently for contempt of court. A Seattle,
Washington grocer, Fred C. Proehl, is nominee of the
Greenback party, and Henry Krajewski, who boasts
of being a New Jersey pig farmer, is the candidate of
the “Poor Man’s” party. Eric Hass of New York City,
heads the slate of the Socialist-Labor party. Califor
nia’s Jack B. Tenney, a state senator, is the choice of
he newly organized Constitutional party.
Russia Rebukes
Denmark For
Dealings With U.S.
MOSCOW, 'UP)—Russia has ac
cused Denmark of negotiating
with the United States to set up
NATO bases for foreign troops
on Danish territory.
Such bases, a firmly - worded
Russian note declared, would cre
ate a “threat to tlje security of
the Soviet Union.’'
The formal Russian protest,
published Thursday in ail Mos
cow newspapers and delivered
Wednesday to' the Danish minister
here, said establishment of such
bases would violate Danish-Soviet
agreements reached since the end
of World War II.
“The Soviet government puts
upon the Danish government all
responsibility for possible conse
quences of such a policy,” the
Russian note declared.
The protest followed close on
Soviet press attacks on the recent
eight-nation NATO “Mainbrace”
naval maneuvers around Norway
and Denmark, both Atlantic Pact
members.
Russian newspapers had de
scribed the war games, which in
cluded a landing by U.S. Marines
on Denmark’s Jutland Peninsula,
as evidence of aggressive inten
tions toward Russia.
In Denmark, the cabinet was
called into extraordinary session
to consider the Soviet protest.
Foreign Minister Ole Bjoern Kraft
declined any comment on the
note.
Reliable informants in Copen
hagen said later, however, that
the Danish government will either
reject the note or leave it unan
swered. Public reaction thus far
has been one of resentment
against what the Danes feel to be
unwarranted Soviet interference
in Danish and NATO affairs.
Man Freed of Charge of
Giving Government False
Information on Lattimore
SEATTLE, (^P)—A tearful Har
ry A. Jarvinen, who waited seven
hours for the verdict, was de
clared innocent last night by a
federal court jury of giving false
information to two government
agencies.
The 32-year-old travel agency
manager was acquitted on two
charges that he had falsely in
formed the FBI and the Central
Intelligence Agency that Owen
Lattimore planned to make a trip
to Russia.
The tip, which Jarvinen said
was misunderstood at a drinking
party last spring, led to a State
Department order harming travel
by Lattimore from this country.
Subsequently, the State Depart
ment publicly apologized to the
controversial Johns Hopkins Uni
versity professor and former con
sultant to the department.

Univ. of Alaska Library
Given Microfilm Recorder
The University of Alaska Li
brary has received a gift of a
Recordak Microfilm Reader from
Elkan J. Morris of Fairbanks, it
was announced recently by Mr.
John Mehler, librarian.
This machine is built somewhat
like a projector, making micro
filmed copies of newspapers and
books appear on a screen to be
read.
Having the use of this reader,
the University can obtain micro
lilmed copies of rare books or
articles that would otherwise be
prohibitively expensive or impos
sible to get in the original and can
file them in a minimum of shelf •
space. The microfilm technique
can also be used to file newspa
pers, which would otherwise take
too much space to keep. Project
ing them on the reader is as easy
as referring to bound volume set
of full-size papers.
Microfilm service is standard
equipment in larger libraries in
the States, and Mr. Morris’s gift
makes it available for the first
time at the University of Alaska.
