LETTER to the EDITOR
Nome Nugget
Nome, Alaska
I was very much amazed at the
“Gambell News Letter” by Mr.
Clarence Irrigoo, Friday, Sept. 6,
1957. I am the Seventh-day Ad
ventist pastor that was on St.
Lawrence Island this past sum
mer and I must say that Mr. Irri
goo has not give the true facts.
About the only true statement
he made was that the island is a
reindeer reservation. I am refer
ring, of course, to the section,
“Keep it under your Stetson.”
While I do not have in my hand
at present the action of the Vil
lage Council, they did meet and
gave us permission to build a
“room” onto an existing house.
However, I will have, in writing,
the action of the Village Council
on this matter.
I personally walked with the
Council president and picked out
a location where we could move
the existing house, onto which we
only added a room.
The purpose of this letter is
only to ask if you would be so
kind, as a public servant, to print
a reply to Mr. Irrigoo. I feel it
only fair that the public, i.e., your
readers, hear the other side of the
matter, with supporting evidence
that what has been done at Gam
bell has been in the open and with
the consent of the Village Council.
Truly yours,
Glenn Murphy

bloody and thrilling rounds over
the 37-year-old Sugar Ray at

hang up the gloves for the second
time in his 17-year career but the

other helping of the $500,000 pie
he collected Monday night.

Nixon Places
Little Rock Blame s
On Governor
NEW YORK, tff)—:Vice Presi
dent Richard M. Nixon yesterday
said the “disgraceful Little Rock
integration situation” is largely
the fault of Arkansas Gov. Orval
Faubus.
He said Faubus’ “handling of
the situation had the inevitable
effect of inspiring extremist ele
ments.”
The major share of responsibil
ity for the “disgraceful Little
Rock integration situation must
be placed squarely on the shoul
ders of Governor Faubus,” he told
airport reporters on arrival from
Washington for a short visit here.
Nixon said he was certain that
“the overwhelming majority of
the people will support the Presi
dent’s firm position in behalf of
law and order, and I also believe •
that a great many people in the
South do not approve of the dis
graceful acts of what was obvi
ously inspired by a minority
group.”
