Nuclear Sub Seadragon
Navigates Northwest
Passage Over Pole
WASHINGTON, UP) —The nuc
lear-powered U.S. submarine Sea
dragon has made the first re
corded ship voyage through the
most direct route of the North
west Passage from the Atlantic
into the Arctic Ocean. The sub
is now proceeding to the North
Pole.
Disclosing this today, the Navy
said the Seadragon left Ports
mouth, N.H., on Aug. 1 and pro
ceeded northward between
Greenland and Labrador through
Baffin Bay, thence almost due
•westward through the series ol
sounds and straits now officiallj
designated by Canada as the
Parry Channel.
On the way the Seadragon
scored what the Navy said were
a series of “firsts” by diving
under icebergs in Baffin Bay.
The Seadragon had to dive
more than 300 feet to get undei
a huge berg that measured 87£
feet wide and 1,471 feet long.
Previous efforts to complete ar
east to west transit of tht North
west Passage have succeeded or
only five occasions. Each of these
was forced by heavy block ice tc
take a more southerly course than
did the Seadragon.

“Hell of a Note”
WASHINGTON, Ul— Now even
the people in Hell want a post
office.
That’s right. Rep. Charles E.
! Chamberlain (R-Mich) told Post
1 master General Summerfield that
| his constituents from Hell, Mich.,
say they could use a postal sub
station.
It’s just a small place as Cham
I berlain pictures it—a restaurant,
I a service station and a number
i of summer cottages. But it draws
| large numbers of tourists.
| “One young man from Illinois
by the name of Mr. Satan insisted
on bringing his bride to the resort
I area so that they could be mar
' ried there,” he wrote Summer
j field.
“During the tourist season, it is
visited by a very large number
of people, most of whom are
greatly disappointed that they
are not able to communicate with
the folks at home from Hell.”

STATE BOARD OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTANCY
Notice is hereby given of the forthcoming examination for:
“CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT '
November 2, 3, and 4, 1960
Anyone wishing to lake the above examination should make
application to Ray Kohler, Secretary of the Board, P.O.
Box 607. Fairbanks, Alaska, on or before October 1. 1960.
Letter To The Editor
We, in the Northwest District,
from Barrow to the Yukon, read
with horror of the Alaska Dental
Board failing to pass dentists
who want to work in Alaska, and
exclaim, “What, not again!”
I will not go into the argument
that the “Board” is best for the
people or best for the Board. As
we all know it is appointed by
law, but if they fail these men
for incompetence, that is one
, thing. But to ask the impossible
from a young dentist is another.
These young dentists have passed
boards in other states and have
paid thousands of dollars for their
training and after graduating
I 'from accredited dental schools
I can be assumed to be reasonably
competent.
We don’t have one dentist in
this district for white people, and
only two ANS dentists for the na
tive population and they are re
stricted by the government on the
kind of work they do. How long
must we wait for some young
dentist to see the green pastures
here? True, the Board cannot say,
“You pass and go to Nome to
practice.” Perhaps that would be
one way for the dentist in the
larger cities to keep their plush
offices and tremendous business.
Are these men greedy, with the
law and politics, or lack of poli
tics, on their side? Or are they
doing their best for the interest
of all of Alaska?
As most of you know, Dr. Lee
McKinley came to Nome when he
learned of our need and has re
turned time and again to per
form a great service. Now, I
would like to institute a move to
have Dr. McKinley (with his con
sent of course) debate in an open
forum with Dr. Harry Nahorney
and Dr. John Miller of the Alaska
Dental Board on the merits of an
“open” or “closed” dental board.

Dies Of Stomach Cancer
DOYLESTOWN, Pa., WV—Oscar '
Hammerstein II, whose magic j
lyrics have brought laughter and
tears to Americans for 40 years,
died of stomach cancer Tuesday
at the age of 65.
His death at his beloved coun
try home of Highland Farms, far
from the glitter of Broadway,
ended one of the brightest careers
in theatrical history.
The big gentle man who pen
ned the words of such songs as
“Or Man River,” and “June Is
Bustin’ Out All Over,” died short
ly after midnight.
His lyrical gift helped fashion
a brilliant string of musical
shows that have become popular
classics, from “Rose Marie,” “Ok
lahoma,” and currently the Broad
way smash “The Sound of Music.”
Since his collaboration with
composer Richard Rodgers in
1942, the names of the two men
have become a theatrical tra
dition.
Their first effort was “Okla
homa.” When the curtain rose on
that show in March 1943, it took
Broadway by storm.
Critics and drama historians
alike hailed it as a turning point
in theater, a fresh integrated pro
duction that kicked traditional
musicals into the discard.
“Oklahoma” ran on Broadway
for five years and nine weeks—
an all-time record for a musical.
It became something of a folklore
itself and inspired a new school
of musical shows.
Hammerstein continued to work
although plagued by the grow
; ing pains of cancer. Early this
month those close to him knew
he could not last much longer.

U.S. Girl Olympic
Athletes Are Girls
And They Can Prove It
ROME, UP)—All the girls on the
Unitel States Olympic team are
girls—and they’ve got papers to
prove it.
“We’ve had some border line
cases in the past,” said J. Lyman
Bingham, executive director of
the U.S. Olympic Committee, “but
we’ve got none this time." He
took a filled form from his desk.
“This one tells the story,” he
adds. “It’s a ST-8 form, signed by
a doctor. One has been turned in
for all of the 18 girls on our
track and field team.”
He said every female on the
American team has been closely
questioned by a physician. The
doctor turned in the papers when
he was satisfied all the girls were
just that.
The question of whether a girl
athlete may not, in fact, be a
girl arose when officials of two
I unnamed European countries
were reported to have questioned
the sex of a British Olympic girl
athlete.
The British treated the allega
tion so seriously that K.S. Dun
can, secretary of the British
Olympic Association, issued an
official statement denying that
any girl on the British team was
a man.
Bingham said the ST-8 form is a
' requirement of the International
Athletic Federation.
The precaution isn’t as silly as
it may sound.
“There have been definite
cases,” said Bingham, “of athletes
who’ve participated as girls who
later officially became men.”
