SEATTLE SYMPHONY WON'T
VISIT ALASKA THIS YEAR
SEATTLE, (tf) — A hoped-for
tour of Alaska by the Seattle
Symphony this fall has been post
poned because of high cost.

president, said increased costs,

Joe Martin Writes Of
“Ingratitude” Of
Ike’s Administration
WASHINGTON, UP) — Rep. Jo
seph W. Martin, who ruled House
Republicans for 20 years, blames
the White House for the 1959 re
volt that toppled him in favor of
Rep. Charles A. Halleck.
In a book published Monday
tracing his long political career,
Martin lays bare the deep hurt
he suffered on Jan. 6, 1959, when
the Indiana congressman took
over the GOP reins in the House
by a 74-70 vote.
‘‘Without a doubt the White
House crowd gave him all the en
couragement he sought to run
against me,” says Martin. “The
keenest hurt was the sting of in
gratitude.”
He accused President Eisen
hower of “a strange sort of neu
trality” and assigns a measure of
responsibility to Vice President
Nixon, too.
TRUMAN: ON RELIGION
NEW YORK, UP)—Former Presi
dent Harry S. Truman said today
he thinks the Republicans have a
nationwide campaign to “circu
late all the dirty pamphlets they
can find on religion.”
Truman made the assertion
during his customary morning
stroll while on a visit here.
“In my home town the Repub
licans are sending out all the
dirty pamphlets they can find on
religion,” he said.
Socialist Ticket Denied
Place On Alaska Ballot_
JUNEAU, UP)—A bid by the So
cialist Workers party to place the
names of its presidential and vice
presidential candidates on the
Nov. 8 General Election ballot in
Alaska was turned down Monday.
Secretary of State Hugh Wade
said the Socialist Workers party
was denied a place on the ballot
after State Atty. Gen. Ralph
Moody issued an opinion saying
the group is not a political party
within the definitions of Alaska’s
election code.
A political party, according to
the code, is a group of organized
voters which nominated a candi
date for governnor in the last el
ection who received at least 10
per cent of the total votes cast
for governor in the election.
The Socialist Workers party did
not have a gubernatorial candi
date in Alaska’s 1958 general elec
tion.
Wade’s decision was relayed to
George Lavan, campaign secre
tary for the Socialist Workers
party, New York.
Lavan had attempted to file the
names of Farrell Dobbs and Myra
Tanner Weiss, both of New York,
for president and vice president,
respectively.
TRUMAN: ON KHRUSHCHEV
NEW YORK, UP)—Former Presi
dent Harry S. Truman, who said
a few days ago that Soviet Pre
mier Khrushchev “can fall in the
Atlantic Ocean as far as I’m con
cerned,” added more tart com
ment today.
i “Too bad Khrushchev didn’t
come in Monday,” he said re
ferring to hurricane Donna.
As for where the liner Bal
tika should dock—“They ought to
tie it up at the Battery and let
him walk to the United Nations.”
The distance is four miles.
Asked if he ever had met
Khrushchev, Truman retorted:
“No, and I don’t want to. Why
should I?”
He made the comments to re
porters during his morning stroll.

Member of Industrial
Research Organization
Pays Nome A Visit
Geoffry Gowen, representative
of the Arthur D. Little Co., which
has been retained by the State to
pinpoint specific major develop
ment opportunities, was a guest
of the Chamber on Monday where
he told of the developments of
their work to date.
Mr. Gowen, who is handling
the basic research on the tourism
phase, stated that the company
has a three-phase program.
The first phase is the prelimin
ary studies which are now being
made to study published data
and to do field work. In this
study he found that Nome has a
great potential as a tourist spot
as the name is known the world
over—and better known than any
| other town in Alaska.
The second phase will be to
pick out projects for further in
vestigation and feasibility studies
and the third phase will be to
bring these studies to the atten
tion of industry and investors.

Hurricane Donna
Wreaks Estimated
Billion Damage
BOSTON, U’l—Hurricane Donna
went into history Tuesday after
a relentless march up the Atlan
tic coast which spread terror,
death and destruction from the
Leeward islands to Maine.
The grim toll stood at 138
known dead. Scores were missing
and thousands homeless. Property
damage, not easily assessed soon
after the storm, appeared likely
to exceed a billion dollars.
Twenty-three of the deaths
were in the United States.
The hurricane, born in the
Caribbean Sea over a week agi,
bulged with 135 mph winds as it
raked Puerto Rico, Cuba, Florida
and the Atlantic seaboard to Nev/
England.
New Englanders, recalling the
murderous hurricane of 1938, con
sidered themselves lucky as Don
na blustered across the coastal
sections of five of the six states
The 1938 hurricane killed about
600 persons and caused some $500
million in property damage.
Air Force Says It Has
Licked Problem Of
Tell-Tale Contrails
WASHINGTON, OF) — The Air
Force says it has discovered how
to eliminate contrails — the tell
tale smoke-like trail of jet air
planes flying at high altitudes
Frequently jet aircraft, too high
to be picked up visually, can be
j detected by the long trails of
vapor they leave across the sky
The Air Research and Develop
ment Command said its engineers
have elimnated contrails by de
veloping a means of reducing the
size of the water vapor particles.
The water vapor from the burn
ing jet fuel is mixed with tiny
dustlike particles in the engine
exhaust, the Air Force said. The
resulting vapor trail is made up
of droplets too tiny to be seen.
IN MAGISTRATE'S COURT
Ignasius Pushruk was fined $35,
charged with being drunk and
disorderly. Mary Ayec received
a fine of $25 and 15 days in jail
on the same charge.
