House Approves Bill to |
Allow Department Use of
Legislature Print Shop
JUNEAU, UP) — House members
said Wednesday it’s okay with
them if other state agencies use
the Alaska Legislature’s duplicat
ing and printing equipment.
Now it’s up to the Senate.
Approved by the House was a
bill that would allow executive
agencies to use the equipment
whenever the Legislature didn’t
need it.
The House also passed three
memorials, all directed to the fed
eral government.
One would urge that prices at
military post exchanges be re
quired to reflect transportation
costs to Alaska. Sponsors said it
would even up competition be
tween the exchanges and Alaska
merchants.
The House also approved a
Senate memorial urging a change
in federal law to permit highway
aid funds to be used in the pro
posed Southeastern Alaska ferry
system.
Another House-passed memor
ial would urge that the Georgia
iPacific-Alaska Company be re
quired to comply with its original
contract for purchase of timber
on Douglas Island, near Juneau.

Bomb Wrecks Auto of
Seattle Pinball King
SEATTLE, UP) — A bomb ex
ploded in a quiet residential street
here early Thursday morning, de
stroying a car belonging to an
official of a local pinball industry
association.
The automobile was completely
destroyed. No one was injured but
windows in a home across the
street were shattered.
Officers said the car belonged
to Fred Galeno, who described
himself as secretary-treasurer of
a Seattle pinball group.
Detective Sgt. Austin Seth said
Galeno told him he believed the
bombing was not connected with
the association.
“I haven’t had any trouble,”
Galeno, who is in his mid-60’s,
told officers. “It could be a prank
by neighborhood kids.”
But police speculated the bomb
ing was a threat or an act of re
venge.
The Seattle Times said the
Amusement Assn, of Seattle, the
pinball operators’ group of which
Galeno is secretary, has been the
“target of ill-feeling among some
operators and persons who have
attempted to get a .foothold in the
business.”

Galapagos Island Pilgrims
Are Not Dismayed by
Advance Bleak Picture
LOS ANGELES, Iff — A group
of adventurers seeking to colonize
the Galapagos Islands, saw un
promising color slides of the bleak
islands Wednesday night, but
their faith in the future remained
unshaken.
The slides were shown to them
by Bill Deming of Los Angeles,
last commander of the U. S. Navy
base in the islands off the coast
of Ecuador.
Deming warned they would
have to pay as much as 50 cents
a gallon for water on the sandy
islands.
“There’s hardly any rainfall in
the Galapagos and not much will
grow there,” he added. “They
remind me of the old Biblical
Hell pictures.”
The American colonists say
they plan to grow coffee, cocoa
and bananas. (
The group — 32 strong —
formed the Island Development
Co. and made a sizeable down
payment on a 64,000 acre planta
tion on San Cristobal Island.
Their 100-foot converted tuna
clipper, The Alert, docked here
last Saturday after a rough voy
age from Seattle.
Despite the gloomy report, the
colonists said they were deter
mined to start life anew in the
islands.
Army Chief Sets Off
Tug-of-War to Release
Frozen Nike-Zeus Funds
WASHINGTON, Iff — A sur
prise Soviet ballistic missile at
tack would catch the United States
“stark naked” unless a missile
killer such as the Army’s Nike
Zeus is perfected, says Gen. Ly
man L. Lemnitzer.
The Army Chief of Staff added
new fuel to the tug-of-war over
the Nike-Zeus development and
the general defense debate.
Coupled with Lemnitzer’s warn
ing were these two new develop
ments:
Chairman Overton Brooks (D
Lai of the House Space Commit
tee said in a letter to President
Eisenhower that, the 137 million
dollars voted by Congress last
year to develop the Nike-Zeus
should be released. He said such
action is essential. The funds have
been withheld by the Defense De
partment.
Lt. Gen. Arthur G. Trubeau, the
Army’s research chief, told the
House space group the Army had
asked that 25 million dollars of
the frozen funds be released im
mediately.
School Band Offers Polka
Music to Set Bright Mood
For Sophomore Play
The Nome School Band, under
the direction of Leland Barber,
takes the spotlight tonight before
the High School Play, with a con
cert of polka music. The perform
ance begins at 8 o’clock in the
Multipurpose Room.
“The Displaced Baby Sitter,” a
one-act play, will follow. The
sophomore class of the High
School acts out the hilarious story
of two high school sisters all agog
over the Senior Prom. Word ar
rives that distant relatives will
descend on the family just at the
time of the Prom. How the cast is
able to solve all the difficulties
in jig time offers an evening of
rare entertainment.
NANOOKS WIN LAST GAME
The Nanooks finally broke into
the win column last night as they
handily beat the Indies 50 to 38.
It was a timely win for the
High School as it is their last
game here in Nome before going
to the Class B Basketball tourna
ment in Seward.
The thorn in the side of the
Nanooks was John Bandy who
dumped in 17 points for high
scoring honors. For the winners
it was 13 points apiece for Ronnie
Locke and Clifford Steele.
In the second game the Mer
chants pounded down a classy
All-Star team 50 to 43. The Nat
ional Guard was orginally to have
taken on the All-Stars but two
of their players were storm bound
at Teller.
All Stars were: iKost and Dave
Bell of the Guard; Willoya, Cab
inboy and Austin of the Hornets;
McCray, Beauchamp and Bandy
of the Indies, and Ozenna, Trigg,
and Castell of the A.N.B.

’Copters, Tracks
Maneuver in ‘Little
Bear’ Invasion
ANCHORAGE, UPI — Units of
the 1st Battle Group, 12th In
fantry, and the 1st Battle Group.
9th Infantry, have clashed head
on in the frozen lake and muskeg
country east of Gulkana in the
Army’s “Little Bear” winter
exercise.
The maneuver, designed to
teach U. S. troops to maneuver
and fight under cold weather con
ditions, has moved into its second
week. The first few days troops
of both forces moved unchal
lenged, their patrols seeking to
make contact.
The 12th Infantry group, from
Ft. Lewis, Wash., has the role of
the “United States” defending
force attempting to halt a drive
along the Glenn Highway by the
“aggressor” 9th Infantry, sta
tioned at Ladd and Eielson Air
Force Bases near Fairbanks.
The cold weather exercise is
the first for the 12th. Prior to
the opening of “Little Bear” it
trained on skis and snowshoes at
nearby Ft. Richardson.
The 12th, in attempting to block
the thrust toward Anchorage, is
relying almost entirely on heli
copters for support in the man
euver. Infantry are maneuvering
on skis.
The 9th, without aviation sup
port, is relying entirely upon
tracked vehicles — light tanks,
M-59 personnel carriers, weasels
and otters — for movement and
support.
One of the problems of the
exercise is to determine the best
means of support in the north
— helicopters or tracked vehicles
or a combination of both.
Congressional Medal of Honor
winner Col. Cecil Bolton is chief
umpire of the maneuver, and he
will ultimately decide the victor
in the exercise. More than 100
umpires are working under him.
Maj. Gen. John Michaelis, com
mander of all Army units in
Alaska, and a Korean war hero,
has urged all units participating
in “Little Bear” to take “bold”
action.
Both the 9th and 12th have
simulated “atomic capacity” and
are expected to bring tactical
weapons into play.
