What About Nome
For Eskimo Student Dormitory
It has been announced recently by the Alaska
Native Service that Fairbanks is to have a million
dollar dormitory for Eskimo students who are to attend
the Fairbanks schools. The announcement also carried
the information that similar dormitories are projected
for Unalakleet and Kotzebue.
However Nome, the center of population for the
Eskimo people with the only High School for the divi
sion (except for a church school at Unalakleet) is not
mentioned.
The place where more and more Eskimo families
are migrating each year so that their children might
have better education, has been completely by-passed.
Nome is the natural center for native crafts, for
development of the training of the native-born resi
dents. A dormitory at Nome would keep Eskimo chil
dren near enough their families so that it does not
become a hardship or burden to get them home for
holidays and vacations. By keeping family ties, the
young people are more apt to remain in Second Division
and develop their own part of the country and make
use of the knowledge they acquire instead of wandering
away as they do now, never to return.

SENATE VOTES
TO TAKE UP
DEFENSE BILL
WASHINGTON, (TP)—The Sen
ate voted 89-0 yesterday to take
up for final action a bill carrying
money to run the armed services
in the 12 months which started
July 1.
It did so shortly after the White
House said the Defense Depart
ment and some other agencies
might not be able to meet their
August payrolls unless the Sen
ate acted on pending money bills
stymied by the civil rights debate.
Civil Rights Bill Displaced
Approval of the motion to take
up the defense appropriation bill
temporarily displaced the civil
rights bill. But it will automatic
ally become the pending business
again when the Senate completes
action on the defense money bill.
Sen. Morse (D-Ore) was one of
those who voted to take up the
defense money bill. Earlier in the
week he had objected when lead
ers sought unanimous agreement
to take up that measure and a
variety of other bills during a
temporarly recess in the civil
rights debate.
Morse Changes Vote
Morse had noted then that the
defense and agriculture money
bills—being Senate-House confer
ence reports having a privileged
status—could be taken up at any
time by majority vote without
permanently displacing the civil
rights bill.
He maintained that the Senate
should not go on to consider still
other legislation unless it agreed
simultaneously to a time for vot
ing on amendments to the civil
i rights bill.
The defense bill totals $33,759,
850,000. That is $2,308,150,000
under . Eisenhower’s original re
quest and some $774,379,000 be- j
low the total approved earlier by J
the Senate.

Nazi Plot to Put Duke of Windsor
Back on British Throne Revealed
In Captured Secret Documents
By WARREN ROGERS Jr.
WASHINGTON, UR—A grandi
ose Nazi plot in 1940 to put the
Duke of Windsor back on the
British throne—at a price—has
been revealed in top secret docu
ments captured by the Allies end
just made public.
The papers are among 415 Ger
man messages and reports un
veiled Wednesday night simulta
neously by the U.S. State Depart
ment and the British Foreign Of
fice.
They also report a $250,000
payment by .an American oilman
to Democratic groups with the
aim of blocking then President
Franklin D. Roosevelt’s renomin
ation. Of this, $160,000 allegedly
went for “buying” Pennsylvania’s
convention votes.
Much Tainted Source
The British government labeled
the documents as “necessarily a
much tainted source.” It said that
Windsor “never wavered in his
loyalty to the British cause.” The
Duke called the part about him
“complete fabrication . . . gross
distortions of truth.”
The Democratic National Com
mittee said it had no record of
any such contributions as were
mentioned in the Nazi papers.
And it noted Pennsylvania cast j
all of its 72 votes for Roosevelt
“on the first and only presiden
tial ballot” that year.
Mastermind Von Ribbentrop
In the papers, published as a
part of an historical project to il
lumine Hitler’s years, 1933-1945,
Foreign Minister Joachim von
Ribbentrop emerges as the mas
termind of the Duke of Windsor
plot. Ribbentrop later was hanged
as a war criminal.
The plot, as recited by Ribben
trop, went this way:
Denounce King George
The duke and the duchess were
to be enticed to Spain. Once in
Spain, held by force if necessary,
they were to be made the propo
sition. It was this: denounce the
Duke’s brother, King George, and
then Prime Minister Churchill.
Appeal to the British people to
surrender. In exchange, the duke
and “the woman I love” for whom
he gave up the throne in 1936
can become king and queen of a
Britain defeated by Hitler. Or, if
Windsor doesn’t like that, he and
the duchess can go anywhere and
live “a life suitable for a king,”
with Hitler paying all the bills.
Nothing in the record suggests
any direct German contact with
the duke.
