Knowland Allows
His Name To Be
In Alaska Primary
WASHINGTON, (JP»—Sen. Know
land (R-Calif) said Monday he
would not object to the unsolicit
ed entry of his name in the April
24 Alaska primary “in view of the
statements by the President in
viting such filings and because of
the uncertainties as to what his
decision will be . . .”
He said also he will not ask
withdrawal of his name from the
ballot in Illinois. Eisenhower took
a similar stand when his name
was entered in Illinois, like
Knowland’s, by other persons.
The lone Democratic name en
tered there by the deadline Mon
day was that of Adlai Stevenson.
Sen. Duff (R-Pa) predicted yes
terday President Eisenhower will
make known his second term in
tention “long before” April 10,
the date of the Illinois primary.
Duff, one of the early Eisen
how’er backers in 1952, made this
prediction in an interview in
which he said he doesn’t think
“anybody is going anywhere” In
seeking the GOP presidential
nomination until Eisenhower de
clares his intention.
Reiterating that the President
will have his support if he runs,
Knowland said in a statement:
“If the President should deter
mine not to be a candidate for re
nomination and re-election, the
regular electoral processes for
nominations should be allowed to
operate so that the Republican
Party may determine 3s between
alternative choices. In this way
the people of the several states
having primaries will have an op
portunity to make their views
known.

Helicopter Blows Frost
From 60 Miles of Wire
To Restore Phone Service
EDMONTON, Alta., UP)—A heli
copter blew the frost from a 60
mile stretch of south Alberta’s
telephone lines Monday in an ef
fort to restore connections be
tween Edmonton, Calgary, and
other points.
Flying about 20 feet above the
wires, the craft blew frost off
lines and poles with the down
draft from its rotar blades.
Heavy frosts had piled up al
most an inch thick on the lines in
recent days, causing short circuits
and leakage of power. Only five
circuits, 10 percent of normal,
were operating early Monday.
After the helicopter experiment
some 15 were operating.

in which 300-year-old trees are
now growing are believed to be
the remains of mines dug by De
Soto.

1 Last Night 61-51
A rugged battle raged last eve
ning between the Nome Mer
chants and the Air Force Jets, the
lead changing hands 11 times be
fore the home team managed to
hold the margin.
Rig Rill White. Jim Hinson and
Chuck Parris spearheaded the
Jets’ attack and late into the final
quarter it was anyone’s ball game.
Then the Merchants started to
click. Arne Castel set the play in
his usual able manner, and the
galloping gunner, Pete Larsen,
smacked the sack for 27 marks.
Classy Eddie Carlson found the
range from everywhere near the
basket and racked up 21.
Jim Hinson was top man for
the Jets with 15. White was next
with 12, and Parris got 11.
Final score: Merchants 65, Air
Force 55.
In the second game, the hi-fly
ing Polar Hornets tasted defeat at
the hands of the Nanooks
The Nome High Nanooks made
it two out of three over the league
leaders as they displayed the typ
j ical brand of basketball that has
made Nome High outstanding
over the years. The older, wiser
Hornets tried every trick in their
well-filled bag but the Nanooks
were out tor blood.
Corky Kost, the Nanook speed
ster, led the youngsters attack, j
jockeying the ball the length of j
the floor. Big Bob Dunbar and
Chuck Fagerstrom worked the
boards with fidelity. Atuk, Titus
and young Willy Willoya dis
played the spirit of the team that
should come home from Anchor
age with the golden cup this year.
The powerful Hornets held the
lead at half time, and even in the
third quarter it appeared as tho
the Green Death would strike
again.
The tried and trusted twosome,
Tony Willoya and Bobby Herman,
clicked for 22 and 17. But Kost
topped their efforts with 28 points
while Bob Dunbar and Willie |
Willoya added 12 each, and the
Nanooks went home winners by
the score of 61 to 51.
Two great games, and there’s
more to follow.
The new scoreboard was en
joyed by the fans last night. It
certainly adds to the excitement.
It has also been announced that
the High School Band is acquiring
now uniforms very soon.
