Milling Engineer
Pays Visit to Nome
Mr. J. Knapp of San Francisco
visited Nome on Saturday at the
special request of his close friend,
Jafet Lindeberg, one of the three
founders of Nome.
Mr. Knapp, who is a mining
engineer and mined in Canada
during the gold strike days, has
known Jafet Lindeberg and other
Alaskan operators since those
days.
Since he was making a trip to
visit some of his claims, Jafet
urged him to visit Nome “so he
would know something of the
place they talked about so much.”
Knapp states that Lindeberg,
who is now 87, is a very active
man and interested in the pro
duction of his claims in Nevada of
bentonite. Bentonite, he explain
ed, is an earthy substance which
is blended with northern Cali
fornia sulphur into a soil con
ditioner, which has proved to be
very valuable.
He also brought greetings from
Joe Sullivan, Bluff mining man,
who would have enjoyed making
the trip had his health permitted.
Accompanying Knapp as far as
Fairbanks was another old Alas
kan, Walter Johnson.
ISndeberg’s friends have help
ed him make a recording of the
story of the actual finding of gold
at Nome and a copy of this re
cording has been ‘promised for old
timers here to enjoy.
The odds are there aren’t 10
kids in America who can identify
a man who should be one of their
greatest idols—Ernest Hamwi of
Damascus. His claim to fame: He
invented the ice cream cone in
1004.
Oregon Supreme Court
Overthrows Legislature’s
Plan of Reapportiomnent
SALEM, Ore. Ut! — The Oregon
Supreme Court Friday overthrew
the state legislatures plan to re
apportion itself by switching scats
among rural districts.
Opponents took the matter to
court, charging that city dwellers
in Portland and Eugene were
being short-changed.
The court held that the legis
lature’s act, passed earlier this
year, was unconstitutional. The
court said reapportionment must
reflect the population of each dis
trict.
Under Oregon law the Secre
tary of State now will prepare a
new reapportionment plan, which
will be reviewed by the Supreme
Court.
Blames It On
Reading and Writing
MEXICO CITY Wi — Manuel
Hernandez Sanchez is one of the
few Indians in the sparsely set
tled state of Chiapas who can
read and write.
Because of his erudition other
Indians often seek his help in pre
senting appeals to the governor,
the President or other officials.
When he isn’t successful he makes
enemies.
And Manuel says his enemies
keep burning his house down —
it has happened three times.
Manuel came here to make an
appeal to President Adolfo Lopez
Mateos for help for himself.
“I wouldn’t have all this trouble
if I hadn’t learned to read and
! write,” he complained.

Speak on Eskimo
Culture and Language
The public is invited to a pre
sentation by Mr. David Shinen
on the problems and procedures
of Eskimo translation work. Mr.
Shinen and his wife, Mitzi are
working as a team of the Wycliffe
Bible Translators. They have been
engaged for the past two years
in reducing Eskimo language of
St. Lawrence Island to writing.
They are returning to their work
following a trip to Fairbanks for
participation in the recent sci
ence conference at the University
of Alaska.
The talks will be given this
evening and tomorrow evening
in the Lutheran Parish Hall at
7:00. The subject this evening
will be “Cross-Cultural Com
munications” and deals with the
problems arising when two dif
ferent cultures come into close
contact.
The presentation Tuesday will
be on the “Eskimo Language.”
People have been heard to say,
“I’d like to leam some words and
phrases in the Eskimo language,
but how can you pronounce some
of the difficult sounds and write
them down on paper?” The dis
cussion on Tuesday evening will
do just this. The presentations are
planned to be about 45 minutes
in length for those who must at
tend other meetings these eve
nings.
BONNETS MUST GO . . .
MUENSTER, Germany Uft —
The huge bonnets of the Clemens
Nursing Nuns and the motor age
don’t go togther, the local bishop’s
office announced Saturday. The
bonnets must go.
The Catholic order, whose
headquarters is here, is active in
caring for out-patients and the
mans sometimes drive a car to
reach them. The Vatican approved
the change in the nun’s habit so
their view will not be obstructed
in driving.
Don’t apologize if the boss
catches you yawning on the job.
A yawn helps build up your en
ergy for more work. Scientists
say it tones up the muscles of
the chest, back and arms.

Soviets Get Propaganda
Setback from Nuclear Tests
WASHINGTON UP) — The So
viet Union’s resumption of nu
clear tests after a 3-year halt has
given the Soviets their worst
propaganda setback since Red
tanks crushed the 1956 Hungarian
revolt, the U.S. Information Agen
cy reports.
The Soviets went testing in the
atmosphere Friday, firing their
15th explosion since Sept. 1.
While the new tests have di
rected world-wide criticism at the
Kremlin, there has been no bal
ancing rise in pro-American senti
ment abroad.
The assessment of internation
al feelings was issued Friday by
the USIA following a study of
overseas press and radio com
mentaries.
The government took steps to
protect the public’s health from
potential radiation hazards, natu
ral and man-made.
Through the White House, the
Federal Radiation Council issued
a set of recommended control ac
tions based on the degree of seri
ousness which might develop in
radiation exposure.
Actions would range from moni
toring, surveillance and routine
control, with little interference in
a .given area’s usual activities, up
to those “which involve a major
disruption, such as condemnation
of food supplies.”
INDIANAPOLIS iff) — Delegates
to the 40 and 8 national conven
tion voted Friday to erase all
mention of the American Legion
from the fun-making group’s con
stitution.
The action practically elimin
ated any chance of the 40 and 8
revoking its “White Only” mem
wership qualification which led
to the dispute between the 40
and 8 and the Legion.
At its last convention, the
Legion voted to ban the 40 and 8
from using American Legion em
blems until it was opened to vet
erans of all races.
