Rebellious Democrats In
House Block President’s
Military Reserve Measure
WASHINGTON, {*>—^Rebellious
members of the House Armed
Services Committee Tuesday
blocked quick action on a new
military reserve bill and sent it
back to a subcommittee for fur
ther study.
By a 16-14 Vote the committee
decided to give the subcommittee
five days to work on the new
version of President Eisenhower’s
“vital” reserve program. The
vote came after subcommittee
chairman Brooks (D - La) com
plained his group was being by
passed.
Chairman Vinson (D-Ga) had
urged the full committee to act
today on a compromise measure
he is sponsoring. He said House
leaders wanted to get it to the
floor by Thursday.
Eisenhower has called for pub
lic support for a strengthened re
serve which he said is necessary
for the country’s defense.
Vinson called the committee
together for action on his com
promise, shorn of an anti-segre
gation feature and other contro
versial elements.
The House stalemated over an
original measure which, in ex
panding the reserve, would per
mit assignment of reservists to
under-strength National Guard
units. The impasse came when the
House voted to bar such assign
ments to National Guard forces
practicing racial segregation.
Churchill Says We
Must Not Expect
Immediate Success
From Big 4 Talks
LONDON, UP) — Sir Winston
Churchill said Tuesday “we must
not count upon complete and im
mediate success” in the forthcom
ing Big Four conference at Gen
eva.
“A period of relaxation of ten
sion may well be all that is now
within our grasp,” said the 80
year-old retired prime minister.
“Even so, such a phase would
not be sterile. On the contrary,
it would give time for science to
show/ the magnitude of her bless
ings rather than all her terrors.”
Sir Winston spoke in the an
cient Guildhall of the City of
London, where a bronze statue
of him was unveiled.
Churchill, who had long plumped
for a meeting of the Big Four
heads of state, said.
“Whatever is the outcome, we
must persevere in the mainte
nance of peace through strength.”
Harking back to his own efforts
for a top level conference,
Churchill said he had long
thought a meeting between the
leaders of the nations without
the formalities of diplomacy
would be a good thing.
And then in a tone of pride
he added “This is now going to
happen and we could have no
one more capable of representing
us than the present prime min
ister.”
Prime Minister Eden was for
eign secretary when Churchill
first suggested a “meeting at the
summit” in May 1953.

New Bookkeeping and
Secretarial Service Is
Epitome of Modernity
The C. F. O’Dell Bookkeeping
and Secretarial Service, formally
opened in its new location June
20, is one of the most modern.
C. F. O’Dell (or Charlie, as he
is better known to his many
friends) has not yet received all
of his office furniture and is hav
ing to use some that will later be
disposed of. But, as the office is
now furnished, it is very attrac
tive and everything in it is strictly
utilitarian, from the calculator to
the files. His desk, he states, is
ultra modern.
The outside of the building was
painted white, trimmed in dark
green, by Mr. Howard Green. We
understand that when Howard
asked Charlie what shade of green
he wanted the building trimmed
in Charlie replied: “Green, just
live up to your name!” and evi
dently Howard did a good job of
of doing just that.
Charlie’s business hours are
supposed to be from 2:00 p.m. to
10:00 p.m., but it is reported he is
usually seen working at his desk
until midnight, or later. These
hours are to better enable him to
be available to all classes of peo
ple, the wage earner who works
until five or later, as well as the
businessmen of Nome.
Mr. and Mrs. Ervin (Emma)
Bellows of Bellevue, Wash., are
expected home around July 1 af
ter a six-month auto trip over the
U.S.A. At present they are in
Massachusetts visiting friends and
relatives. Mrs. Bellow, for the
past few summers, has been part
of the Wien Airways staff at Kot
zebue during the tourist season.
