WANTED - GIRL SCOUT LEADERS
There are more than 80 girls impatiently waiting
for the Girl Scout program to get under way in Nome.
Two Girl Scout troops already are holding meetings
and are planning their winter activities. But , . .
there is a need for more leaders. Unless at least five
Brownie leaders step forward, there can be no pro
gram for the younger girls, and unless four other in
dividuals show their willingness to lead the inter
mediate groups, there can be no Scouting for them
either.
Experience is not needed, only the willingness to
help and interest in the young people of the commun
ity. In addition to the mothers who want their children
to have the advantage of this well-worth-while activity
there must be some people in Nome who can find the
time to assist in this important work.
Anyone interested is asked to call Mrs. Frank
Morris or Mrs. Walter Glavinpvich.
Heintzleman Meets With
Federal Road Officials
On Alaska Road Program
DENVER, UTt—Gov. B. Frank
Heintzleman of Alaska met with
top federal road officials here yes
terday to discuss the future of the
Alaska highway program.
Present at the meeting was the
Bureau of Federal Roads Commis
sioner Charles D. Curtiss.
Heintzleman said the get-to
gether was an informal one with
Denver selected as a half-way
meeting place between Washing
ton, D.C., and Juneau and that no'
formal decisions would be taken
there.
“We discussed the application
of the new federal highway aid
bill to Alaska,” said Heintzleman.
“I wanted to find out what I could
about it.”
Both Heintzleman and a Public
Roads spokesman denied there
was any possibility Alaska would
be able to qualify for federal
funds because of standards of ex
isting roads.
“There is no difficulty along
that line," the Alaska governor
said.
Both sides declined to comment
further on the meeting, saying it
was only explanatory in nature.

Big Three Move
To Set Up Suez
Canal Users’ Assn.
LONDON, (fl—The Western big
three moved swiftly today to set
up a Suez Canal users’ association
with the prospect that U.S. Secre
tary of State John Foster Dulles
| may make a hurried flight to
London.
An American diplomatic source
said Dulles was coming here next
week—probably Wednesday.
A British diplomatic spokesman
said the invitation list for an in
ternational conference is still be
ing drawn up—'but the invitations
would go out "shortly.” The Brit
ish Press Assn, suggested the pos
sibility that Egypt may be among
those invited. The general feeling
here was that the conference
would be next week, but no defi
nite date has been announced.
The war jitters that gripped this
capital—and a large part of the
world—after the idea of the
Suez users’ association was first
raised, have subsided somewhat
in the wake of Prime Minister
Eden’s qualified promise to seek
U.N. action before resorting to
force.
But the Institute of London Un
derwriters announced big increas
es in “war risk” insurance rates
for ships calling at Egypt and
sailing thru the Suez Canal.
Another British aircraft car
rier, the 27,000-ton “Carrier Al
bion” was ordered to sail tomor
row for the eastern Mediterra
nean.

Eisenhower
Starts ‘Crusade’
For Nov. 6 Votes
GETTYSBURG, Pa., Presi
dent Eisenhower summoned Re
publicans to a new “crusade” yes
terday at a picnic rally on his
farm. It was attended by about
500 GOP leaders from around the
country.
In calling for transformation
of the campaign “into a crusade,”
Eisenhower said “our fundamen
tal effort” should be bent toward
persuading “every Republican,
every thinking citizen ... to vote
Republican on Nov. 6.”
Eisenhower’s declaration that
“I feel fine” was greeted with
resounding applause.
Eisenhower made no attack on
the Democrats but dealt chiefly
with his administration’s hopes
for the future. However, Vice
President Nixon, who spoke from
the same platform, accused Ste
venson of “political fakery and
Trresponsibility.”
Although most of the Republi
can leaders remained outwardly
confident of victory, some indi
cated concern over Democratic
gains in Maine’s gubernatorial
and congressional elections last
Monday.
Sen. James Duff of Pennsylva
nia, %.'ho introduced Eisenhower,
spoke of getting “tough” with the
Democrats and giving them “the
works."

In Columbus, Ohio, Senate GOP
Leader William Knowland told
I the state GOP convention that
Stevenson has been “careless with
the facts.”
In Minneapolis, Secretary of
Agriculture Benson said the kind
of a farm program proposed by
the Democrats would put farmers
on what he termed a “government
dole.”
Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON
The planet Mars, which is so
very brilliant in the southeastern
sky on clear evenings, has an or
bit which encompasses the orbits
of the earth, Venus, and Mercury.
Beyond Mars lie the four great
planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus
and Neptune.
Mars’ orbit is very eccentric,
more so than that of any otHor
planet except Mercury. The ec
centricity in the orbit of our
neighbor Mars causes it to differ
in brightness. At its nearest posi
tion to the earth, which is during
this month, it shines with a bril
liancy which is ten times that of
a first magnitude star. Its fiery
light at the present time is at
tracting everyone’s attention.
In 1924 Mars and the earth
were closer than they had been
for over a hundred years. Mars is
much smaller than either the
earth or Venus.
