U.S. FIRM BUYS JETS
Pan American World Airways recently became
the first U.S. commercial airline to buy jet passenger
airliners. The airline also became the first American
air carrier to go outside the United States to buy air
iners for regular service.
The U.S. airline announced it had purchased three
British Comets, which are to be delivered late in 1956.
thus, it will be four years before any of the commercial
jet transports will be put into service by the U. S.
airline.
The history-making announcement by the U.S.
company emphasizes the technical lead now enjoyed
by British aircraft builders over U.S. builders in "the
,et field. Contrary to what many think, this lead is
not a post-war lead but one which has prevailed since
he beginning of jet development. During World War II
both German and British aircraft industries were ahead
f the U.S. industry in this field, and, apparently, the
British have never lost their considerable lead.' U.S.
companies attribute the British advances in com
mercial jet transport to their own preocupation with
demands made by the Korean war, but this is not
altogether the answer.
The serious threat which now faces the U.S. air
raft industry, which has, in recent years, designed
nd built most of the planes used by the various air
mes over the world, is that British companies will re
lace American companies as the foremost builders
jj tianspon aircraft as the jet age comes into being.
•S- companies are not expected to let this challenge
:m unanswered. Thus, the next few years should see
nt of scrambling in the jet field by the major U.S.
rcraft builders.

Eisenhower Wins
In Landslide of Votes -
(Continued from Page One)
was hailed in the free world’s
capitals as indicating a continu
ation of American policy of re
sisting Communism. The stock
market went up.
Democrats started hunting for
jobs, and President Truman sped
back to Washington from Miss
ouri, possibly to invite the Presi
dent-elect to sit in on policy shap
ing conferences.
Ike Plans 10-Day Vacation
Eisenhower, tired and happy
after a strenuous 50,000-mile cam
paign, planned a 10-day vacation
in Augusta, Ga., his first with the
Secret Service dogging his heels.
For Ike, the avalanche of votes
which put him in line as the 33rd
man to become President, was
more of a personal than a party
triumph.
Heavy Absentee Balloting
There was a distinct possibility
that heavy absentee balloting
might affect the outcome of the
House control battle. Winners in
four races in Washington State,
for instance, might be determined
by absentee votes, of which there
were an estimated 90,000. The
Senate contest was just as tight.
In Springfield, 111., Stevenson
philosophically conceded the vic
tory to Eisenhower, called on all
Americans to “close ranks” and
pledged his support to the win
ner.
Eisenhower, wildly cheered
when he appeared in a New York
hotel ballroom, matched his op
ponent’s unity plea, said it was
“a day of dedication rather than
triumph” and pledged that he
never will give “short weight” to
his responsibilities in Washington.
More Personal Than Party Win
In some respects, Eisenhower’s
was more of a personal than a
party victory. Although he helped
elect Republican administrations
in many states, there was tough
sledding for the GOP in Senate
and House battles and guberna
torial races.
The general’s friend and one of
his earliest presidential rooters,
Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., con
ceded defeat by his Democratic
opponent, Rep. John F. Kennedy
in the Massachusetts senatorial
race. Republican James P. Kem
of Missouri went down to defeat
and Sen. Harry Cain of Washing
ton losi to Rep. Henry M. Jack
son.
In Ohio, Democratic Gov. Frank
Lausche won going away from
Charles Taft, brother of the sen
ator, despite Eisenhower’s hefty
majority over Stevenson in the
state.
On the other hand, Eisenhow
er’s surge helped Sens. Joseph R.
McCarthy of Wisconsin and Wil
liam E. Jenner of Indiana get re
elected. Both were prime targets
for Democratic attack in the cam
paign.

Nome Nanooks Working
Hard To Perfect Game
With Palmer Moose
Coach Pete Hahn’s Nanook bas
ketball team has been working
very hard for their coming big
two-game series against the Pal
mer Moose on Nov. 28 and 29 at
the Nome School gym.
Game time for the high school
tilt is 8:15, to be preceded by an
exciting preliminary battle at 7
which features the 7th and 8th
grade Mustangs against the Fresh
men and Sophomores.
The prices for adults attending
the two games is $2.50, for one
game only $1.50. For the children,
two games $2.00, for the one game
$1.25. Tickets will go on sale at
the end of the week.
The Nanook practices during
the last couple of days have been
devoted to short scrimmages, re
viewing the plays and working on
ball control. Coach Hahn is mov
ing George Bell from his old
guard position to a forward slot
in order to take advantage of his
height and needed strength on the
backboards.
A1 Sahlin, senior, was elected
captain of the team in a short
meeting after practice Monday j
and with his. new glasses, he i
should be a good leader on the
court.
Vernon Olson looked very sharp i
in practice yesterday and made it
| hard for the opposition with his
j spectacular shooting. Sam Mogg,
j Jr., Robert Summers and Dave
; Bell are showing signs of improv
| ing as the season progresses. Bob
I bie Herman has been sidelined
I because of illness.'
South Koreans Still
Stalled on Triangle Hill
SEOUL, W) — Bloody fighting
for Triangle Hill and Sniper ridge
flared today into the heaviest
action of the 23-day struggle for
the Korean central front heights.
South Korean troops in a pre
dawn sneak attack stabbed within
10 yards of the crest of Triangle
hill, then were pinned down by
Chinese Red hand grenades and
machinegun fire. Five previous
Allied attempts to retake the
height, lost on. Friday, have stall
ed in the same place.
Other Republic of Korea troops
seized one of two knobs on an
ofshoot ridge of Triangle, called
Jane Russell hill.
Massive artillery support and
fighter - bombers supported the
U.N. attacks.
Job Printing At The Nugget
The Republicans
