Nome Civil Defense Program
Reactivates; Leaders Named For
Warning, Medicine, Food, Fire
A meeting to reactivate the
Civil Defense Program in, Nome
was called by Les Bronson, Nome
Director of Civil Defense, and
held Wednesday in the office of
Mayor Steve Andersen.
Bronson said he had had nu
merous letters from Colonel
Crockett of Juneau asking why
Nome was not active in the Civil
Defense Program. Also, the group
was told that Nome was not tak
ing advantage of many offers
made by the program.
Four major considerations in
case of an invasion were decided
upon: fire food, medical treatment
and warning. Chairmen were ap
pointed for these as follows:
Medical, Dr. Fred Langsam;
fire, Ben Mozee; food, Dewey
Goodrich and Larry Galvin; and
warning, Jack Blattler.
Blattler was also appointed

on where the civil defense jeep
pumper should be kept. The ad
visability of keeping it with the
local fire fighting equipment was
discussed. It was decided that all
fire fighting equipment should be
kept together. It will be recom
mended to' the new city council
that the back room of the fire
station be vacated to be used for
the storage of this equipment.
It was also suggested and agreed
that the equipment should be
put to immediate use so as to gain
experience with this type o'f fire
fighting.
Bob Emmons, Civil Air Patrol
commander, told the group a 15
kilowatt auxiliary power unit,
owned by the Civil Air Patrol,
was available for use in emer
gency.
The suggestion was made that
the film put out by the U.S. Civil
Defense Program on the H-bomb
be secured to be shown here.
Mayor Andersen agreed to write
for it.
It was decided that the four
committee heads should formu
late their programs and present
them at the next meeting, on
Thursday, April 22, at the City
Hall at 7:30 p.m.
Major Borden suggested radio
time be secured to explain the
Civil Defense Program to Nome
ites, and it was agrred that this
medium should be used as well
as printed pamphlets.
Capt. Stan Morgan, head of the
Alaska Communication System at
Nome; Maj. Borden, Alaska Na
tional Guard commander here;
and William Barber, CAA chief,
are to act in advisory capacity,
for in case of invasion they will
be directly responsible for their
respective jobs.
Bret Harte Classic
Comes to Theater
Authenticity was the keynote
during the filming of “The Out
casts of Poker Flat,” the Twenti- '
eth Century-Fox picturization of
the Bret Harte classic starring
Anne Baxter and Dale Robertson
being shown tonight and tomor
row at the Theater.
For her role in the picture,
Anne Baxter wears a black velvet
cape, hand-embroidered with gay
colored flowers, that actually
came across the Great Plains to
California in a covered wagon;
The cape was not procured from
the studio wardrobe department,
but came from the attic trunk of
costume designer Dorothy Jea
kins.

Lawyer Dropped
In McCarthy-Army
Public Hearings
WASHINGTON. (/P—Frederick
G. Fisher, one of the special law
yers picked to help the Army in
its flaming row with Sen. Mc
Carthy (R-Wis), is out of the job
because of former membership in
the National Lawyers Guild.
J. N. Welch, chief of the battery
of lawyers retained by the Army
for the public airing of the dis
pute, confirmed the shift—and
the reason for it—Thursday as
witnesses were called for secret
questioning to lay ‘groundwork
for the planned open hearings.
Welch said he dropped Fisher
after learning of the former guild
membership, because “I didn’t
want a diversionary affair.”
The Lawyers Guild has been
described by the House Un-Amer
ican Activities Committee as “the
legal bulwark of the Communist
Party.” The collision between Mc
Carthy and the Army is a side
development in the senator’s hunt
for subversives in government,
which recently has centered on
the service. ,
The man picked to take Fisher’s
place, Welch said, is John Kim
ball Jr. Like Fisher he is a lawyer
with a Boston firm.
