Chamber Has Interesting Meeting
On Polio Work and Geology
By RUTH McLEAN
Two representatives from the
National Foundation of Infantile
Paralysis talked to the members
and guests of the Northwest Alas
ka Chamber of Commerce at the
weekly luncheon meeting Mon
day.
Mr. S. C. White from the New
York office and Mr. Felix Mon
tez of the Seattle office were in
Nome to establish a chapter of
the foundation in the Second Di
vision. The work in this division
is now handled with the Fourth
Division.
By establishing a board in the
Second Division there will be two
major advantages, according to
Mr. Montez. There will be greater
results in vaccinations for all per
sons if the work is handled by
local volunteers, and also local
persons will see that polio victims
have rehabilitation.
Two of the aims of the founda
tion, which was established 19
years ago, are to get vaccine ter
everyone in the territory and to
rehabilitate the persons who have
had polio, he said.
Mr. Montez expressed apprecia
tion for the work done up to this
time for the foundation by Mrs.
Mary Andersen, Mrs. Carrie Mc
Lain and Dr. Fred Langsam.
“The shot in your neighbor’s
arm does not protect you.” Mr.
White quoted Dr. Jonas Salk in
stressing the importance of every
person taking the series of three
shots of vaccine over a period of
eight months to lessen the crip

State Dept. Suspends
Dave Beck’s Passport
WASHINGTON, UPt—The State
Department has temporarily sus
pended Dave Beck’s passport at
the joint request of the Jusice
Department and the Senate Rack
ets Investigating Committee.
State Department officials said
the request was made last Friday
after a federal court in Tacoma
turned down the Teamsters Union
president when he asked permis
sion to attend a labor conference
in Paris.
Beck is awaiting trial on charg
es of evad ug S56.000 in ihcome
taxes in 1950, and of aiding in
preparing a fraudulent income
tax return. He is free under $5,000
bond.

pling effects of polio. Mr. White
coordinates the work in the 10
western states, Alaska ^nd Ha
waii.
Leaders in the community and
in other organizations were asked
to meet with Mr. Montez end Mr.
White Monday afternoon to help
establish a chapter of the Nation
al Foundation of Infantile Paral
ysis in the Second Division.
Two of the guests et the Cham
ber meeting were from the Geo
logical Survey: Charlies Hummel,
who has been coming to Nome
for several summers, and his as- j
sistant this year, Doug Morten.
Both young men are from Cali
fornia. M
^Mr. Hummel stated that the
Geological Survey does not have
a specific mission this year but
the men are here to determine
kinds of rocks in this area and to
try to leam what has happened
to them. He mentioned that there
are some 100 metal lode areas
around Nome, and they will work
on a survey to try to determine
why there aren’t larger areas and
why there isn’t one large area for
mining.
The Sawtooth . Mountains will
be the site of their activity this
summer. Mr. Hummel stated that
this area seems to offer potentials
for economic development. As the
surveys are made, they run into
information that is of specific in
terest and ordinarily it takes five
years for this information to be
compiled and published.
However, there are means of
getting information to the public
quicker, and Mr. Hummel hopes
that this fall there may be a pub
lication to tell persons of any
findings in the Sawtooth Moun
tains of interest to this area.
Mr. Earl Biestline, another
Chamber guest Tuesday, is the
dean of the School of Mines at the
University of Alaska. He said he
is not in Nome on university busi
ness but he will be happy to an
swer any questions, especially
from parents who have children
interested in attending the Uni
versity *of Alaska.
Other guests welcomed by the
Chamber were Dr. Fred Oesterle
from the Public Health Service
in Seattle and his son Steve; and
Mr. Bob White from the San
Francisco office of the Caterpillar
Company. Jim Norrington from
the Pan American Airways office
in Whitehorse and Mrs. Robert
Oliver were also guests.
Arctic Passage
To Be Tried by
Navy Cargo Ships
SAN DIEGO, dPt—U.S. Navy
cargo ships will attempt to make
an arctic passage from the Pacific
to Atlantic this summer behind
icebreakers, a supply force com
mander said yesterday.
The only vessel ever to make
the passage from west to east is
the RCMP vessel St. Rock, now
a nautical shrine at Vancouver.
Rear Adm. Frederick S. Stelter,
who will command the Pacific
division of the annual resupply
expedition to radar posts in the
arctic, said the attempted break
thru would be led by the Canadi
an icebreaker Labrador and U.S.
Coast Guard icebreakers Storis,
Spar and Bramble.
Some of the cargo ships will
try to follow the icebreakers thru
a navigable channel of Bellot
Strait discovered during the 1956
resupply mission, Stetler said.
The fleet of 44 ships is sched
uled to leave here the first week
in July and Seattle late in July.
Forecasters predict the sever
est ice conditions in many years
this summer. “If the winds from
the north push the ice down to the
shores of Canada sooner than we
expect it, we’ll be in for trouble.”
he said.
Justice in Case of
Seminole Roughhouse
Turned Over to Tribe
EVERGLADES, Florida. (A*)—A
roughhouse among five Osceola
brothers in the wake of a Semi
nole “Green Corn Dance” was
shunted out of Collier County
Court and into tribal jurisdiction
Monday.
Judge S. S. Jolly said it was a
case for tribal elders to decide.
Mike Osceola, who operates a
tourist Seminole village outside
Miami, charged his four brothers
with beating him. He accused one
of hitting him with a broken pop
bottle.
In giving Seminole jurispru- i
dence priority over the white
man’s law, Jolly wasn’t necessar- i
ily making things easier for the I
Indians. Tribal justice is often
harsher than the laws governing
white men.
