SUPPORT YOUR CHAMBER OF COMMERCS
The Northwestern Alaska Chamber of Commerce
will hold its annual banquet this evening for the in
stallation of new officers.
This organization, which works year in and year
out and has done so for over 50 years, is headed by
a group of business and professional men who give
their time gratis to study and work for the interest
of every business, industry and development of this
community, as well as the outlying districts. Many cru*
cial problems have been worked out through the efforts
of this civic body who are to be commended and
thanked for their unselfish work.
Whatever they do for betterment of this part of
Alaska benefits every business and every individual
in the community and in the immediate area.
Now that official announcement has been made
that this part of Alaska will not be defended, the
Chamber is needed more than ever to educate military
leaders and congressmen that American soil must not
be advertised as an ideal spot for invasion and destruc
tion. It falls upon our Chamber leaders to bring home
to the powers that be the reminder that the Arctic coast
is like Achilles’ heel—vulnerable—and therefore more
important to the nation than many other places in
the world where our tax money is being poured.
Alaska is on the mainland of North America and is
not a foreign country as many would believe.
To keep the Chamber active the cooperation of all
the businessmen is needed. To keep the Chamber sol
vent all are urged to renew their memberships when
the annual drive is announced and be part of this im
portant civil group.
GRASSROOTS OPINION
Ambridge, Pa., Daily Citizen: “Frequently the
remark is made that ‘Communism is not bad, it is
what the Russians have done with it that is bad.’ People
who make such statements are naive. They have not
read the works of the men who created the Communist
movement. Whatever merit it may have had as a
utopian scheme is outweighed by the fact that it offers
men something for nothing and revolves around the
proposition that the end justifies the means.”

Reports of Differences
Between Soviet Leaders

' 8 That is the label Nikita S.
Khrushchev the Communist party

ports of differences between him
and Georgi M. Malenkov.
Thursday the description re

the Soviet news agency, called in
western correspondents and gave
them the text of an interview
which William Randolph Hearst
Jr. had with Khrushchev Satur
day. The American publisher
was accompanied by Kingsbury
Smith, a correspondent represent

The Tass text reported Kings

“I would like to make an un
official and perhaps impolite
question. In the western press,
particularly the London Times,
there is lots of talk about differ

According to Tass, Khurshchev

Ike and Zhukov
Were Friends
During WW II
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, UR —President
Eisenhower may invite Russia’s
Marshal Georgi K. Zhukov to
visit him someday, but the ex
perts are no; betting on it.
There are too many problems,
hostilities and suspicions between
Moscow and Washington to make
such an invitation possible now.
One of the President’s associ
ates said he dews not see “a
chance in a million” for such an
invitation. State Department of
ficials label the whole question
“premature.”
Yet diplomats said that in some
special future circumstances the
friendship which developed be
tween Eisenhower and Zhukov
when they were allied military
leaders in Berlin at the end of
World War II might prove useful
to both countries.
Now, however, the two men
could not meet just as onetime
comrades in arms. World atten
tion would focus on any meeting
now because both have become
figures of world political signifi
cance.
Zhukov moved into the spot
light Wednesday when he was ap
pointed defense minister of the
Soviet Union. A few years ago
under the late Joseph Stalin he
had apparently been banished
from Moscow.
Eisenhower was reminded of
Zhukov’s new eminence at his
news conference Wednesday and
was told Zhukov had said recent
ly he still held the dream of visit
ing the United States some day.
Eisenhower paid warm tribute
to Zhukov as a military leader
and confirmed that each of them
had told the other he was sure
his country would not attack the
other’s homeland.
The President said he had, at
the direction of Washington, in
vited Zhukov to visit this country
in 1945. .
Zhukov accepted but later call
ed 6ff the visit, giving illness as
the reason.

Top AFL and CIO Union Leaders Agree
To Consolidate Into One Organization
By NORMAN WALKER «
MIAMI BEACH, Fla., The
nation’s top union leaders, agreed
on consolidating forces into a
single organization, Thursday
planned a giant drive to take in
millions of new members.
Leaders of the American Fed
eration of Labor and Congress of
Industrial Organizations decided
to bury traditional rivalries and
embark on the same sort ot in
tensive organizing campaign that
sparked the CIO’s surge two dec
ades ago.
The AFL and CIO chiefs work
ed out what appeared to be an
ironclad arrangement t© merge
into one 15-miUion-member union
federation.
A long series of ratifying ac
tions still was required to sol
emnize the wedding, but declara
tions of intentions from principals
appeared convincing. Both George
Meany, top man in the AFL, and
Walter Reuther, CIO chief pre
dicted the merger would be an
accomplished fact before the end
of the year.
They said a well-financed or
ganizing drive to take in new
members would te launched and
where possible unions in the same
general field would be combined
to make more effective their bar
gaining and political powers.
In arranging the merger agree
ment the union chiefs, accustom*
ed to hard horsetrading with em
ployers, played a give-and-take
role with each otter.
The AFX was given the top
jobs in the new setup. Meany was
assured of the presidency and
AFX secretary-treasurer William
Schnitzler will have the same
title' in the merged federation.
The CIO won the right to enter
the AFL as a union group and to
organize entire plants from top to
bottom in individual unions with
out regard for AFT* crafts.
In addition, it was agreed that
the leadership from the ambitious
j new member organizing activities
i would come from the CIO.
