Party From Nome
Takes Excursion
To Unalakleet
The “Beach” flown by Tom
my Thomson of Wien Airlines
left the Nome Air Field at 6:30
a.m. with a party of seven Nome
people and arrived at Unalakleet
a little before 8:00 a.m. They
found the village dressed in
beautiful green grass on all sides
and the fresh odors from the
summer’s foliage was invigorat
ing. The absence of permafrost
permitted the luxuriant growth of
vegetable gardens on almost
every family lot.
The pioneer log cabins; the
numerous log caches; the blue
waters; and the green foliage
made a paradise for those who
delight in photography. The
log caches and the fish racks with
a background of blue waters
surrounded by green grass made
an unusual setting for good pic
tures.
Mr. Olaf Halverson found time
to attend church and Sunday
School at the new Covenant
Church recently built by Spencer
Strand of Nome. It is a very
beautiful and well-designed church
resembling churches in New
England. The delicious meal at
the new high school building was
greatly appreciated.
The afternoon was spent in
boat riding, fishing, picture tak
ing and hiking about the pic
turesque village.
Senate Accused Of
Discriminating Against
People Of Hawaii
WASHINGTON, — Senate
Republican leader William F.
Knowland Tuesday accused the
Senate Democratic leadership of
“rank discrimination” against
Hawaii for so far failing to
schedule debate on Hawaii state
hood legislation.
He made the accusation at the
White House after he and other
GOP congressional leaders con
ferred. It was their regular
hower. It was their regular
weekly discussion of legislative
matters.
Knowland spoke out as the
Senate continued debate on
House-passed legislation to make
Alaska a state. Replying to a
question he predicted the Senate
will pass that bill without
amendment.
The Californian reiterated he
intends to oppose any effort to
tie the Alaska and Hawaii
statehood measures together in
one bill. Such a consolidation,
Knowland said, probably would
have the effect of killing state
hood for both territories.
The senator said it apparently
is the present intention of Senate
Democratic leaders to give the
Senate no opportunity at this
session to vote on Hawaii. He
called that “rank discrimination”
against the people of Hawaii.
“Hawaii is equally entitled to
statehood with Alaska.”

Dempsey, On 63rd
Birthday, Says Boxing
Must Clean House
SANTA MONICA, Calif., UD —
It was Jack Dempseys 63rd birth
day and somehow the conversa
tion turned to boxing.
“Boxing will have to clean its
own affairs the way baseball
did,” he told an interviewer yes
terday.
“It might be better off with
some sort on national czar or
commissioner, but since that’s
unlikely, it must take care of
its own police work.”
Dempsey, looking hale and
trim, lives here in semi-retire
ment. He was born at Manassa,
Colo., June 24, 1895.
The former heavyweight cham
pion said he thinks the scarcity
of good fighters is due to the
disappearance of small neighbor
hood fight clubs.
Heavyweight champ Floyd Pat
terson’s name also came up.
Dempsey said Patterson’s in
activity has hurt boxing. He
added:
“When he doesn’t fight, the
whole game suffers because
people lose interest. There are
three or four good heavyweights
around, fellows who are worthy
of a shot at Floyd. But in the
meanwhile Patterson is cheat
ing himself of the chance to de
velop.”
The Long Way Home
CORPUS CHRISTI,' Tex., UP)—
“I don’t know how that feller
who picked me up got so all
fired confused,” Henry Newson,
76, told police here.
•‘I wondered why i,t took so
long to get home. My house
on Corpus Christi St. is just a
few ‘blocks from the pension of
fice on Lyons St.”
And that’s' where he was
headed—Corpus Christi St. in
Houston—when a well-meaning
motorist picked him up in down
town Houston Monday and gave
him a lift here, some 200 miles
away.
Police contacted some of the
elderly man’s friends in Houston
who agreed to drive here and
pick him up.
