Eisenhower Shows Some Irritation
Over Khrushchev’s TV Appearance
WASHINGTON, UP)—President
Eisenhower said today we can
only hope that the possibility of
disarmament has been increased
by the professed willingness of
Nikita Khrushchev to undertake
it one step at a time.
Khrushchev’s views were aired
Sunday by the CBS-TV network
on its “Face the Nation” program.
Eisenhower appeared to be a bit
irritated over the presentation of
the Soviet Communist boss to the
American people.
He said he thinks the perfor
mance was far from similar to his
own news conference where there
are no prepared questions and
answers and an attempt is made
by himself and newsmen to deal
honestly with each other.
(The CBS announcer on the
Khrushchev broadcast said the
questions were “spontaneous and
unrehearsed.” He said Soviet offi
cials were informed in advance of
the general areas to be covered,
M & M Bank Is
Certified FHA
Lending Agency
Miners and Merchants Bank of
Alaska has been certified by
Commissioner Norman P. Mason
as a lending institution approved
by the Federal Housing Adminis
tration to make mortgage leans
insured under FHA’s programs.
A letter from Cyrus B. Sweet,
assistant commissioner for opera
tions, designating the Miners and
Merchants Bank as an “approved
mortgagee” was recently received
by E. J. Rusing, president of that
institution.
Mortgage loans insured by FHA
are available for the purchase of
homes and for the development of
rental or cooperative housing
projects.
The money for the loans that
Miners and Merchants Bank of
Alaska makes under FHA pro
grams comes from its own funds,
not from any government funds.
FHA insurance enables lenders
to give borrowers more favorable
loan terms than might otherwise
be possible.
The mortgage insurance pro
grams operated by the FHA in
cooperation with private lenders
have already benefited millions of
people throughout our country.
More than 4,000,000 families have
been helped toward home owner
ship and nearly 700,000 families
have been provided homes in
rental or cooperative projects.
Any person interested in ob
taining an FHA-insured mortgage
is invited to make application at
the M & M Bank at Nome.

ture.)
Eisenhower said the London
disarmament conference now in
progress seems to reflect a more
serious, definite purpose than
ever before of getting ahead with
substantive moves toward curb
ing arms.
A reporter raised the point of
whether the President might be
“missing a good opportunity to
get to the Russian people” if he
fails to seek equal time over So
viet facilities to reply to Khrush
chev.
Look, Eisenhower replied, a
commercial firm in this country
was trying to improve its own
commercial standing and went to j
unusual efforts to get Khrushchev
before the American people for
a performance.
He said that could be done be
cause this is a free country. News
papers, he said, carried the full
text of the program.
But if the President asked for
corresponding time, he said, only
14 TV stations would be available
in Russia, plus radio coverage.
If the Soviet Union, in return
for what he called the courtesy to
Khrushchev, wanted to ask an
American to appear, EisenhoWer I
suggested there should be a guar- '
antee of no jamming interference, |
or counter-attractions.
Eisenhower left the implication j
it wouldn’t be himself, since he j
mentioned that Khrushchev is not j
head of the Russian state—except 1
in power.

LOGICAL EXPECTATION
PARIS, —The morning news
paper Figaro today published a
cartoon showing a group of Rus
sian children staring at a vacant
television screen as their father
enters the room.
“What are you waiting for?”
the father asks the children.
The reply: “For Eisenhower to
come on the screen to promise us
that our children will all be cap
italists.”

The TRADING POST
JOHN L. LEWIS GETS
HONORARY DEGREE
FROM UNIVERSITY
MORGANSTOWN, W. Va.,
John L. Lewis stood, solemn and
expressionless, as the red hood of
a doctor of laws was draped
around his neck by President Ir
vin Stewart of the University of
West Virginia.
But a wide smile broke his nor
mally stony features as he re
turned to his seat, and later he
snook hands cordially with a line
of well-wishers—many of them
coal miners.
For the 77-year-old president
of the United Mine Workers, the
ceremony Monday represented the
first degree of any kind. Lewis
quit school as a boy of 14 to go
to work in the coal mines, and he
never got beyond the seventh
grade.
The honor was bestowed in the
state where Lewis’ union fought
some of its earliest and bloodiest
organizing battles.
TEXAS-S1ZE GIFT
HOUSTON, Texas, —For the

present she was given for gradu
ating from Houston’s Lamar High
School last week.
The gift, from her father, was
an oil well which geologists ex
pect to produce for the next 50
years.
A map, showing the location of
the well near Odessa, Tex., was
wrapped in her school colors.
Airlines Considering
Joint Supply Base for
F-27 Turboprops on Orderl
SEATTLE (#>—The Seattle Times I
said today it has learned five
territorial and local service air
lines are considering establish
ment of a joint engine-overhaul
and supply base for the F-27
turboprop transports they have
ordered.
Aviation editor Robert L. Twiss
said the lines are Northern Con
solidated Airlines of Anchorage;
Wien Alaska Airlines of Fair
banks; West Coast Airlines of
Seattle; Frontier Airlines of Den
ver, and Bonanza Air Lines of
Las Vegas.
Sites under consideration are
Everett, Yakima, Walla Walla,
Spokane, Boise, Portland, Reno,
Denver, Phoenix and San Fran
cisco.
The airlines estimate they can
save about one-half the turn
around time for engine overhaul
by establishing their own base in
the West rather than shipping the
engines to the Rolls-Royce over
haul base at Montreal.
Twiss said it appears the car
riers will stay away from the Pa
cific Coast areas, if possible, be
cause of the tight skilled-labor
market.

Hendrickson Urges
VFW to Expand
Work in Territory
KODIAK, UP)—Acting Governor
Waino Hendrickson urged Alas
kan members of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars Monday to “expand
your work in the territory.”
Speaking before the opening
session of the 12th annual en
campment of the Alaska depart
ment of the VFW, Hendrickson
also said:
Much of the legislation which
has been enacted has been made
possible thru your efforts. The
mental health legislation was
passed at the last session. You
can do much to promote this pro
gram, still in its infancy.
“One of the finest things which
could be accomplished would be
for the VFW to have members in
the Legislature.”
Other guests of the encamp
ment included Rear Adm. Ira
Hobbs, commandant of the 17th
Naval District, and Gen. G. C.
Mudget, commanding general,
Alaska.
