GOOD OPENING FOR RIGHT MAN •
SAFE FINANCING FOR SCHOOL ADDITION
Every now and then someone makes a statement
questioning the advisability of the new school addition
over which the Nome School Board, Nome City Council,
architects, engineers and educators have worked out
after careful study of the needs and special problems
of this community.
A special meeting was held some time ago, at which
time representatives of the Alaska Public Works Ad
ministration explained the financial arrangement, show
ing that no loan could or would be made for the school
unless it could be financed safely by the city. Those
who attended the meeting were glad to learn by follow
ing a carefully prepared chart that the school addition
would not mean increased taxation but would be
financed by an existing tax collected in the territory
for schools known as the tobacco tax; by a fund already
set aside by our school board from that tax by surpluses
from the city sales tax.
Only by an extreme business recession or other
crisis would the taxpayers be burdened in any way by
the school adequate for the needs of the community.
Any parent, potential parent or citizen who is op
posed to improving the school should visit the school
and ask to be conducted through the classrooms of the
grade school and get a first-hand picture of the health
hazard now imposed upon the youth of our community.
A well-known Alaska educator passed through
cur community recently and stated that a community’s
growth starts with its school and predicted that the
e'ght-room addition is conservative as this growth in
all schools will continue for several years to come.
Let’s all pull together for the good of our children.
ABSOLUTION—OF A SORT
Congress shoud give President Eisenhower author
ity to use “food stockpiles like ammunition stockpiles,”
Senator Ralph E. Flanders (Rep) of Vermont told the
Senate Agricultural Committee. Food, the senator
thinks, can win cold wars, too.
While no one argued this point, various others
feel that the President’s request for blanket authority
11 send government-held surplus food to friendly na
ticns cn his own terms is a bit sweeping.
But, whatever the rules, giving this surplus food
to our friends abroad would at least absolve us of the
wickedness of destroying what others desperately need.
Polish Diplomat
Seeks “Political
Asylum In U. S.
NEW YORK, UR — Ey-. Marek
Korowicz, Polish diplomat who
got his first look at America last
Monday, is seeking political asy
lum here after a pre-dawn flight
from his country’s Communist
dominated United Nations delega
tion.
“Life in Poland was a night
mare,” Korowicz said Friday.
The graying, 50-year-old Koro
wicz left Polish U.N. headquarters
Wednesday. Pretending to be
working on a document in the
early morning hours, he eluded
armed guards and slipped out of
his midtown hotel to telephone an
old friend from the Polish under
ground.
Safe in the friend’s home, Koro
wicz, first alternate of the Polish
delegation to the U.N., said in
identical letters to two U.N. offi
cials:
“The members of the delegation,
headed by Messrs. Naszkowski
and Katz-suchy, do not in any
way represent either the Polish
nation or the people. It is thus
absolutely impossible for me to
collaborate with these representa
tives—not of my beloved country
but solely of th$ Soviet regime in
Poland.”
Korowicz, author of some 20
books and former professor of in
ternational law at the University
of Krakow, said he is unmarried
and has only distant relatives in
Poland.
Struggle of Two Interests
Ruining ‘Beizbol’ In U.S.,
Says Red Sports Writer
MOSCOW, UFi — Soviet leaders
who learned some time ago that
“beizbol” was originally a Rus
sian game, distorted by Ameri
cans, were told Saturday that a
battle between the big league club
owners and broadcasters is ruin
ing the game.
The newspaper “Soviet Sports”
cited “Breng Rikki” (Branch
Rickey of the Pittsburgh Pirates)
as authority for the decline in the
number of baseball leagues and
spectators.
With the World Series in the
offing, Soviet sport writer T. Bely
sev saw a “struggle of the two
groups of interests” as “still an
other evidence of the unresolved
contradictions of capitalist society
where science, art, culture, and
sport develop under the control
of monopolies, where they know
only the clink of gold, and where
raging competition rules in the
name of big profits.”

Moore Reversed
But Hermann
Claim Deferred
JUNEAU—Mildred R. Hermann
is entitled to receive compensation
for preparing the biennial report
of the Alaska Statehood Commit
tee, the Board of Examiners de
cided in an informal meeting here
last week.
Territorial Auditor Neil F.
Moore had turned down a
voucher on which Mrs. Hermann
had sought to collect a fee of
$1,470 for writing the report, the
auditor holding that such payment
would constitute overtime inas
much as Mrs. Hermann is paid $75
monthly as secretary of the State
hood Committee.
While differing with Moore on
this point, the Board of Eexamin
ers has referred the matter back
to Mrs. Hermann, asking her to
secure from a majority of the
Statehood Committee written ap
proval for her to charge $1,470 for
her work.
The Board of Examiners con
sists of Gov. B. Frank Heintzle
man, Attorney General J. Gerald
Williams and Treasurer Henry
Roden.
All 5 Bodies Recovered
From Crashed Plane Of
New Mexico Oil Man
KETCHIKAN, W—Bodies of all
five persons aboard a crashed
New Mexico private plane were
enroute here Saturday from the
Boca de Quadra area 35 miles to
the southeast where the twin
engined DeHavilland met disaster
a month ago.
The Coast Guard Cutter Kim
ball radioed Friday that search
ers had located the bodies of Ellis
Hall, wealthy Albuquerque oil
man, a daughter and 17-year-old
Patrick Hiben, son of a University
of New Mexico professor.
The bodies of Mrs. Hall and an
other daughter had been found a
day earlier close to the beach of
an inlet near the scene of the
crash.
The Hall party had taken off
from Annette Island airport for
Bellingham, Aug. 17. Wreckage of
their plane was not found until
last Tuesday. It was believed to
have come apart in whipsawing
cross winds over the area.
Juneau Has Dog Trouble
JUNEAU, (£> — Heavy protests
by women’s clubs before the re
cent election prompted the mayor

lice to impound stray dogs. They
did.

strays was a pet belonging to
Fred O. Eastaugh. He’s the city
magistrate.
Ike Cleaning Up
‘Scandalous Mess’
Savs Sen. Dirksen
CHICAGO, Uft — Sen. Dirksen,
(R-Ill) said Saturday President
Eisenhower is rapidly cleaning up
a “scandalous mess” in a govern
ment the Democrats left “studded
with Communists.”
Dirksen lashed out at the for
mer administration as “one of the
most riotous, reckless, scandalous
administrations in the history of
the Republic,” in replying at the
GOP conference here to state
ments made at a Democratic meet
ing earlier by Adlai E. Stevenson
and former President Truman.
Previously, Secretary of Inter
ior McKay told a gathering of
women and GOP state chairmen
that the federal government has
no “divine right” to develop the
nation’s power resources. He said
the Eisenhower administration is
going to give states and local com
munities a voice in such projects.
Dirksen picked on a statement
by Stevenson that “the greatest
beneficiary of the Democratic Par
ty in these past few months has
been President Eisenhower and I
only hope he realizes it.”
“I’m sure President Eisenhower
does,” Dirksen said in a prepared
address. “What he found when he
came to Washington as President
made the problems of the Nor
mandy Beach invasion pale into
insignificance.”
Mentioning the public debt, high
taxes and what he called the “dis
honest dollar,” Dirksen said the
Democrats hadn’t solved the farm
problem. Democrats had contend
ed that the Republicans had no
answer to falling farm prices.
“Prices were breaking before
the last administration left office,”
Dirksen said. “None o'f their poli
cies, and all of their billions,
solved it.”
