DISARMING AND REARMING
Vice President Richard Nixon, who has displayed
exceptional moral courage on more than one occasion,
is now a hero, senior grade, in our book.
In an address to 700 Japanese leaders in Tokyo
lately, our hero calmly announced that “the U.S. had
made a mistake” in ordering Japan disarmed in 1946.
“We misjudged the intentions of the Soviet leaders,”
at the end of the war. That we rearmed “because we
want peace” and we want Japan to rearm to help us
achieve it. “If we want peace, we must be militarily
stronger than the Communist nations,” he said.
Admission that we are capable of mistakes is re
freshing . . . and reassuring, too.
Next Week’s Pioneer Roof Garden
In Tradition Of Fine Entertainment
By Senator Howard Lyng ,
Saturday, Dec. 12, will witness
‘he annual Pioneer Roof Garden,
given each winter under the aus
pices of Nome’s Pioneer Igloo
No. 1, the mother Igloo of the
many spread throughout Alaska.
Many of the splendid great
hearted pioneers who participated
in the Roof Garden parties when
Nome was young are gone from
us—yet there is a surprising num
ber still with us who are enthus
iastically lending their time and
spirit, assisting in making this
latest Roof Garden a worthy suc
cessor of those that have gone be
fore.
To one who has been a resident
of Nome through the years, the
words “Pioneer Roof Garden” pre
cipitate a nostalgia for the past,
and conjure up before the mind’s
eye a ghostly retinue that silently
pass in review within the walls of
memory.
Included in this vista of the past
is :he happy recollection of the
many gladsome evenings spent in
the society of friends, enjoying
the games, programs, song fests,
dancing and other features of
entertainment that these annual
Roof Gardens always evoke. The
current Roof Garden gives every
promise of being just as gay, en
tertaining, and as full of whole
some fun as those of yesteryear.
At this 'time of the year when
winter takes over, most of us are
inclined to spend too much time
at home, and possibly neglcet
some of the amenities of modern
society relating to friendship, the
good neighbor theory, and 4o com
munity well-being. It is largely
with this thought in mind that Pio
neer Igloo No. 1 urges the entire
community to attend and partici
pate in the 45th Annual Roof Gar
den, guaranteeing to all an even
ing of pleasurable entertainment,
and affording the opportunity of
spending an evening in the com
pany of your friends.
The place, Nome School Gym;
the date, Saturday, Dec. 12; the
time, 8 p.m.

U.N. Condemns
Red Atrocities
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., M—
The U.N. General Assembly yes
terday expressed its “grave con
cern” at Red atrocities in Korea
and approved an American call
for stiff condemnation of such ac
tions.
Over bitter Soviet opposition,
the 60-nation assembly approved
•a Western-sponsored resolution of
condemnation by a vote on 42 to 5
with 10 abstentions.
The balloting followed three
days of vitriolic debate in which
Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. of the Uni
ted States accused the North Kor
eans and Chinese Communists of
killing nearly 38,000 U.N. soldiers
and civilians in Korea as part of
high Kremlin policy.
The five negative votes were
cast by the Soviet bloc. The ten
abstentions were mostly by Asian
and Arab nations.
Russia’s Andrei Vishinsky said
he and his allies voted against the
resolution because it was “libel
ous, spurious and hypercritical.”
