Scouting Deserves Our Support
“Onward for God and My Country” is this year’s
slogan for the Boy Scouts, that unsurpassed youth
group, to prepare the citizens of tomorrow in character,
body, skill, spirit, will, and as a member of a team.
Scouting influences the lives of three million boys
in America today .and Nome is fortunate in having
Scoutmaster Bob Emmons, who gives many hours every
week that the youth of Nome may participate in this
great organization.
The program is worthy of the support of the entire
community and there should be more willing men here
to volunteer to assist in the crafts and skills these boys
are eager to learn. There are over 60 merit badges
these boys might choose from with the assistance of
some adult who will give a little time. The Scoutmaster
would welcome your support.
PROGRESS IN FIGHT ON CANCER
Dr. Albert Tyler, professor of embryology at the
California Institute of Technology at Pasadena, has
succeeded in isolating a substance which may be of
great value in the fight on cancer.
'The discovery and isolation in highly purified form
of the substance was announced at the recent annual
meeting of the American Assn, for the Advancement
of Science, in Atlanta, Ga.
It is thought that the substance produced is a serum
which inhibits the division and multiplication of specific
cells. If this is true it may follow that other substances,
of similar chemical constitution, may be isolated from
cancer cells. If they were so isolated, they might pro
duce a serum against the division and multiplication
of cancer cells.
The substance discovered and isolated by Dr. Tyler
is called Fertilizin. It is the first of its kind to be pur
ified and was isolated from the gelatinous coat of a sea
urchin’s egg. In experiments, when it was injected into
rabbits and chickens, it led to the production in the
blood stream of a serum which worked against the
dividing mechanism of the fertilized egg.
The discovery and isolation of Fertilizin by Dr.
Tyler could be a major advance in the long struggle to
find an anti-cancer serum or vaccine, or* a cure. If a
serum could be developed which prevented the division
and multiplication of cancer cells, the disease could be
brought under check if it had not already produced
fatal conditions.
Clarence Davis
Takes Over as
Interior Seeretarv
J
WASHINGTON, OP)—Clarence A.
Davis of Nebraska, the undersec
retary of the Interior Department,
took over as acting secretary Mon

confirmed.

the Eisenhower Administration as
Interior solicitor and then ad
vanced to the undersecretaryship.

BEND, Ore., UP)—McKay opened
his campaign for the Republican
nomination for the U.S. Senate
here Monday night with an infor
mal talk built around the farm
problem.
He made no specific mention,
however, of President Eisenhow
er’s farm bill veto.
McKay said there is no easy an
swer to the farmers’ problem. But
he praised Eisenhower for advo
cating a “workable, lasting” solu
tion of the problem.
McKay, whose resignation as
secretary of Interior became ef
fective Sunday, said agriculture
needs long range help to bring it
up to the high level of the rest of
the nation.
Utah's Governor Refuses
To Pay Income Tax for
Aid to Foreign Nations
SALT LAKE" CITY, UP>—The
deadline for paying federal in
come taxes passed Monday mid
night, but part of Utah Gov. J.
Bracken Lee’s tax money rests
today in a safe deposit box in a
Salt Lake City bank.
“And that’s where it will stay,”
Lee says, “until a court rules that
either I or the government have a
right to it.”
The Republican governor con
tends it is unconstitutional for the
federal government to use tax
revenue to aid foreign nations. By
refusing to pay his tax he hopes
to force a court test of this conten
tion.
“There is no provision any
where in the Constitution granting
the U.S. Government the right to
appropriate taxpayers’ money for
support of foreign nations,” Lee
said, adding he’ll “fight ... in the
Supreme Court, if necessary, to
prove my case.”

Dulles Says U.S. Must Read the
Fine Print of Russia’s Offer to
Help Bring Peace to Middle East
A.—i. .—
MOSCOW, UP)—The Soviet Union
today called on Israel and the
Arab states to settle their conflicts
on a basis acceptable to both sides.
A Foreign Ministry statement,
one of the most important issued
recently, was released on the eve
of the arrival of Bulganin and
Khrushchev in England.
Russia offered to join other gov
ernments in an effort to reach a
solution of Middle East turmoil
and said she would support any
U.N. action to “strengthen peace
in Palestine.”
She thus indicated a desire to
have a stake in Middle East af
fairs.
Russia called on both Israel and
the Arab states to refrain from
border incidents along the U.N.
approved frontier and to improve
the situation of the hundreds of
thousands of Arah refugees.
The statement appeared to have i
Forgot He Was Married
But It Took Quite a Jolt
INDIANAPOLIS l/P-Some men
may like to forget they are mar
ried but here is one that actually
did.
A woman driving a car involved
in a collision last night gave her
name as Mrs. Joanne Hollings
worth, 25.
“That’s not your name,” said
her companion, Dennis Hollings
worth, also 25. “It’s Janes.”
“We were married yesterday,
the woman retorted.
Dennis’ head had struck the
windshield. It was some time be
fore he finally remembered he
was no longer a single man.

the immediate effect of choking
off any idea the Arab states might
have had that they could count on
automatic Soviet support in their
struggle with Israel.
It also answered repeated pub
lic expressions by Western leaders
urging the Soviet Union to use a
conciliatory influence in the Mid
dle East.
Diplomats regard the statement
as clearing the path for discus
sions in London on the subject of
the Middle East—which has ex

WASHINGTON, UP)—Secretary
of State Dulles said yesterday the
United States would welcome So
viet support for United Nations
efforts to prevent war and estab
lish peace in the Middle East.
Dulles spoke at a news confer
ence immediately after the Soviet
Foreign Office announced the
Russian government would coop
erate in U.N. peacemaking.
But Dulles noted he had not
seen the full statement. He said it
is always necessary to read the
fine print in Soviet pronounce
ments.
Dulles said the Soviet pro
nouncement might be a response
to President Eisenhower’s state
ment of April 9 calling on all U.N.
members to support peace efforts.
