Peat and Meat Are NWA Potentials
ON NUNIVAK ISLAND there are over 250 musk
ox in the herd which has increased from a small
group of 47 since 1947 when the project started.
This animal which was transplanted to Alaska in
1930 by the Fish and Wildlife has good quality meat,
excellent wool and its horns are useful for craft work.
The reindeer which is controlled by the Depart
ment of Interior is restricted to ownership bv Eskimos.
The Department of Agriculture should handle the
musk-ox and encourage development and assist pro
perly trained persons in starting a herd on the main
land. Like any new industry it will require work and
perserverence but is the type of thing which should
be encouraged. The Arthur D. Little Co., hired by the
state to study the feasibility of various industries in
the state should take this into consideration as well
as the production of peat for shipment abroad.
The world knows that Nome is the number one
tourist spot in Alaska and that it has mountains of
hundreds of kinds of metal and minerals but the
feasibility of peat production and a new source of
meat should not be overlooked.

Last Thing K
Wants Is Real
Understanding
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press Mews Analyst
As expected, Premier Khrush
chev is irked by the travel re
strictions placed on him in the
United States, calling them un
reasonable and not conducive to
better understanding between the
United States and Soviet Union.
If he knew more about the bit
terness resulting from his disrup
tion of the Paris summit confer
ence, where many people had
hoped there would be progress
toward peace, he might be thank
ful instead of irked.
The State Department still in
sists the restrictions are purely in
the interest of security.
If Khrushchev had been given
freedom of movement it would
have been up to the United States,
by laws covering it relations with
the United Nations Enclave, to
protect him wherever he wanted
to go. There would be a great
task under present circumstances,
and a risk unacceptable in con
nection with one who is not a
guest of this country.
At any rate, Khrushchev is ex
pected to stay in Manhattan, de
spite his argument for the right
to use the Soviet diplomatic es
tate on Long Island.
As for his talk about “under
standing,” Khrushchev under
stands the United States will en
ough, and the United States un
derstands Khrushchev and his in
ternational Communism which
leaves no room for communion.
No matter what his proposals
and attacks at the U.N., Khrush
chev’s one continuing line is
peaceful coexistence.
With regard to that, Hans Berk
holt, who helped organize the
Norwegian Communist party but
has since recanted, said recently:
“The goal of peaceful coexist
ence is to disarm everybody else
in the face of Communism and
make the free world ideologically
neutral.
“In my country the Commun
ist line is to make us disarm
militarily and leave the NATO
organization. The idea of coexist
ence is to make the free world so
peace minded that they do not
stay on guard. Peaceful coexist
ence is a peaceful way into world
Communism. But if that happens
there will be no peaceful way out
of it.”
The last thing that Khrushchev
wants is real understanding.

Road Work Assured
Here Next Year
Nome is assured that the road
will be complete to Taylor Creek,
stated Lester Bronson at the
Chamber meeting on Monday, as
it has been confirmed by Richard
Downing when he passed through
here a couple of days ago.
Work will also continue on both
ends of the Teller road he was
advised. It will be next year, he
learned, before the access road
from Teller to Lost River will
be considered.
Bronson also reported that it
looked very favorable that there
would be a Bering Sea Patrol
plane base here for the U S. Navy
in the near future.
Stan Molitor, accompanied by
his wife and son, have gone south
where Stan will study to pass his
CPA examination. They will re
turn later in the fall.

Italians will Pick
Up Tab For The
Olympic Games
■ ROME, iM—-The 1960 Olympics
| brought in an unprecedented $5.6
I million in gate and television
j radio receipts bu the games only
paid a part of the bill.
A spokesman for the organiz
ing committee of the Italian
Olympic Committee said Monday
income from the games amounted
to $4,300,000 in ticket sales—a
record far surpassing the $3,000,
000 take at Helsinki—and $1,300,
000 in fees for television and radio
rights.
However, the Italian govern
ment is taking $1,200,000 in taxes,
leaving a net income of $4,400,
000.
The Italians paid more than 30
million dollars to build stadiums,
roads and other facilities for the
games. But these expenses were
written off as capital investment
since the stadiums, roads and
Olympic Village will be munici
pal assets for a long time to come.
Italian organizers say they fig
ure the cost of actually staging
the games at $6,400,000.
The wealthy Italian Olympic
Committee, which paid much of
the cost for the stadiums, will fill
the gap. It will have little trouble.
It reaps about 18 million dollars
a year out of a weekly soccer
pool.
