fT*HE FACT THAT NUCLEAR test blasts are being
made in our part of the world by unfriendly neigh
bors lhas aroused the community to the need of re
vamping and bringing up to date its civil defense pro
gram. ' • .. vSliiJ- '
There seems to be little public enthusiasm for the
President’s four-year, twenty-billion plan to give us
hides in the ground to escape the atomic terror. It is
apparent that the task of sheltering 180 million people
from nuclear fallout is too colossal. Personal safety
must remain, to a large extent a community, do-it
yourself endeavor.
Vital to survivors of the initial blast, are safe
foods. Many types of packaging has been tested and
canned foods came through to win Civil Defense en
dorsement as first choice by a wide margin. Through
cooperation of the National Canners Assn., menus of
2,020 and 2,430 calories per day for 14 days have
been worked out. The menu provides for palatability
without heat and adequate liquids without water.
It is important that some of these foods be stored
In this area for the people of Northwestern Alaska and
to do this, Nome must have a Civil Defense program.
The initial meeting is called for next Wednesday
evening at eight o’clock by Civil Defense Director
Lester Bronson at the Multi-Purpose Room. It is im
portant that a representative group of people respond
Id form the nucleus of Khe organization.

DAG HAMMARSKJOLD DIED UNDER FIRE
FROM BOTH EAST AND WEST IN THE COLD WAR
By J. M. Roberts
[ Asrnciated Press News Analyst
Dag Hammarskjold died under
fire from both sides in the cold
war.
Most of the great names of
history are those of men who
were able to grasp the reins of
forces already at work about
them, or were picked up and
thrown forward by those forces.
But here was a man who sal
among the currents of history,
trying to deflect them in the di
rection desired by large numbers
of men, who by his personal and
official presence became a high
ly controversial figure. And his
absence now seems likely to pre
cipitate a fight over the whole
future of the United Nations, a
fight which most men were hap
py to postpone.
The Soviet Union will now in
tensify its fight not so much for
control of the U.N., as for the
ability to confine it to the role
of debating society—a good place
for Soviet propaganda moves, but
a bad place for any action look
ing ' toward peace.
There is one viewpoint that the
removal of Hammarskjold—if we
may brush aside the humanities
and the decency which are al
ready taking such a beating in
this world—might just possibly
alleviate some of the strain in
the U.N.
This view is based on the as
sumption that some means can be
fbund to produce a less contro
versial successor.
There has been some talk for
the past year that such a succes
sor might be found among the
emerging nations, a true neutral
not bound by ingrained devotion
to the promotion of Western
culture, and therefore more able
to act as mediator between East
and West, but taking no initia
tive.
The fight over a successor, with
a Communist bloc attempting to [
hamstring the General Assembly
with a veto system comparable
to the one it has used so often in
the Security Council, had not
been expected to come up until
next year. There had even been
some very small hope that, given
this time, something might hap
pen which would permit the U.N.
to move on with its work.
Now the fight is precipitated at
the most favorable moment for
the Soviet bloc. The U.N. is dras
tically divided over many issues,
not the least of them its own at
titude toward the Congo, The
“automatic majority” on the side
of the United States is smothered
under a host of new memberships
by uncommitted nations.
One of the great powers,
France, is officially contemptuous
of the U.N. France and Britain
have split with the United States
over U.N. Congo policy. France
has split with the United States
and Britain over the approach
to negotiations with the Soviet
Union over Germany. The United
States has just accepted the
necessity of a headon fight over
the admission of Red China, a
fight in which she has little or <
no real support from her strong
est allies.
This column has always dis
counted the “face of U.N. hangs
in 'balance” assessments of the
past, in the belief that there must
be such an organization, lest the
shards of world order be scat
tered to become of interest only
to future archeologists.
But now, if the Communists in
sist that there be no successor
to Hammarskjold, as expected,
the organization could be reduced
to the status of the old League
of Nations, which blew away so
many years ago, like a straw in
the wind of gathering storm.
We live in the jet age, but
approximately §3 per cent of Am
ericans still have never flown in
an airplane.
