In The Planning For ’59 - ’60 -
THE ALASKA VISITORS ASSOCIATION, now in
session here, is one of the most important organiza
tions in Alaska right now. The advent of Statehood
has made the world very conscious of Alaska, and more
vacationists as well as potential settlers and investors
are turning their thoughts to the wide open spaces of
Alaska, with its vast potential and its challenge to the
future.
The AVA is in good hands, with “Dutch” Derr as
its leader, ably assisted by Kay Kennedy, veteran
newspaperwoman whose job is promoting and selling
Alaska to those who want to travel, but it needs the
support of business leaders to properly finance the task
before them.
Next year’s volume of tourists invading the terri
tory will depend largely on how this organization
functions in putting out the information wanted.
We are glad that Nome was chosen for this
meeting so that members of the organization attending
from other parts of the Territory will see that Northern
Alaska has attractions which can be found in no other
, part of the Territory, that tourists have not seen
Alaska without including an Arctic tour.
Winter tours must not be overlooked in the plan
ning, as in Arctic Alaska they offer many things which
can’t be duplicated in any of the other States.
We urge residents to attend these meetings and
learn what is in the planning for 1959 and 1960.
'DUTCHMAN' GRUNEWALD
DEAD FROM HEART ATTACK I
WASHINGTON, UPl' — Henry
(The Dutchman) Grunewald, pic
tured as a high-priced fixer by
witnesses in the 1953 investiga
tion of federal tax scandals, died
Thursday.
The 65-year-old Grunewald
was a figure of mystery, with a
reputation as a wire puller, dur
ing the Truman Administration.
He suffered a stroke Monday
and had been unconscious in a
hospital here since then. In the
last five years he had survived
five heart attacks.
More decorations for valor have
been awarded, per man, to the
submarine service, than to any
other Navy branch.
13,700 Algerians Killed, Captured
ALGIERS, MPI — Reports by offi
cial sources claimed today that
13,700 rebels had been killed or
made prisoner by French forces
from May 15 to Sept. 20.

Letter
To The Editor
Dear People of Nome:
It seems as though these days
all the adults condemn the actions
of the present-age teen-ager.
However, nothing has been, or
is being done to construct a bet
ter, more wholesome social life
for us. What we would like to
know is, HOW can you expect us
to become future Tespectable cit
izens of our community if the
majority of the adults don’t put
forth any effort to promote what
activities we now have.
You don’t like juvenile delin
quency, — Well, we don’t either.
But after all, we are teen-agers
and therefore if no other activi
ties are provided for us, we nat
urally resort to other forms of
amusements, which, in some
cases, results in juvenile delin
quency.
We will be willing to accept
new ideas if someone will take
the time and trouble to work
along with us.
Any replies to this letter will
be appreciated, in the next issue
of this paper.
We are willing to co-operate, if
you are also.
Respectfully Submitted,
THE NOME TEEN-AGERS.
To The Editor:
Is it possible that there are
parts of the Constitutions applied
to some States and not to others?
The decision of the Supreme
Court in May, 1954, in reference
to segregation of the Races in
public schools and colleges, said
that the fourteenth amendment
did not apply to the-District of
Columbia, but that the Fifth did.
The Enabling Act admitting
Alaska to the Union, forever for
bids the Federal Government
from interfering with the public
schools and colleges of Alaska.
This was copied from other En
abling Acts, namely, New Mexi-!
co, Arizona, Idaho, South Dako
ta, Montana, Washington, Utah,
Wyoming and Oklahoma. So it
appears that recent rulings of the
Federal Courts in reference to
Public Schools and Colleges do
not apply to these States.
Is the Fourteenth Amendment
a VALID part of the Constitu
tion? It appears that Federal
Courts have never ruled on this
Question. (See proclamation of the
Secretary of State issued July
20, 1868, and an article by David
Lawrence, published Oct. 15,
1957)

Selwyn Lloyd Demands
Chinese Stop Fighting
In Formosa Strait
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y„ UPI —
British Foreign Secretary Selwyn
Lloyd today called on both Red
China and the Chinese National
ists to end their military activities
in Formosa Strait immediately.
He urged further that “the
whole world community should
join in insisting that this matter
should not be settled by force.”
He made no specific reference to
the military role of the United
States in support of the Nation
alists.
The British leader spoke before
the 81-nation General Assembly
as U. S. and Chinese Communist
representatives met for the fourth
time in Warsaw in an effort to
find a formula to stop the fighting.
He expressed his government’s
hope that the Warsaw talks would
result in an immediate cease-fire
which would lead to later nego
tiations on the various claims and
counter-claims involved-.

than 200 persons in Alpine re
gions of Switzerland, Italy, France
and Austria in 1951.

President Will
Stump For GOP
WASHINGTON, UB — President
Eisenhower is stepping into the
Congressional election campaign
with a three-day stumping expe
dition next month to Los An
geles, San Francisco and Chicago.
The plans were announced by
White House Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty. He was flanked
by Meade Alcorn, chairman of
the Republican National Commit
tee, who had just conferred for
an hour with Eisenhower.
This speaking trip — and Hag
erty made it clear there will be
others — will take Eisenhower to
Los Angeles on Oct. 20, and to
San Francisco the following day.
On Oct. 22, Eisenhower will speak
in Chicago.
The addresses will be carried
by regional television networks.
Neither Hagerty nor Alcorn
would definitely commit Eisen
hower at this point to any major
political appearance in the East.
They said the full extent of Eis
enhower’s role in the campaign
still is being worked "out. But
Alcorn said he certainly hopes
Eisenhower will turn up in the
East.
