postoffice at Nome, Alaska, under the Act of March 3, 1879.
UNITED NATIONS DAY
Today we observe as United Nations Day, a day
set aside to the organization which has given the
people of the world an organization through which
nations may resolve their differences without resort
to war and has made possible greater international
cooperation in the economic, political and cultural
fields and which offers mankind a hope for ultimate
world peace.
In Governor Gruening’s proclamation he states,
“Alaska is likewise fated by the realities of geography
and history to be the northernmost and westernmost
outpost and citadel of the American concepts of free
dom and democracy. Alaskans are recond to none in
their awareness of Alaska’s major and critical role in
these years of international crisis and are proud to play
their full part in living up to their opportunities and
responsibilities and thus achieve their destiny.”
The governor urges the people of Alaska to observe
the day in sending greetings to friends in foreign coun
tries expressing confidence in the United Nations and
faith in the brotherhood of man.
It’s not the American way to stall the local mer
chants and pay cash to stateside dealers.

T\PAN SCIENTISTS SAY NO
TO BID FOR ATOM GROUP
TOKYO, (A*) — In Japan, first
nation to undergo an atomic
bombing, the Council of Sciences
has turned thumbs down on a
proposal for a government com
mitee on atomic energy. *
The council — most influential
academic body in Japan—said the
government could not be trusted
to use atomic power strictly for
' peaceful purposes.

Rok Army Held
Unable to Replace j
U.N. Korea Forces
SEOUL, (/Pi — Gen. James A.
Van Fleet said last night that
he thought United Nations troops
would have to remain in Korea
“as long as there are Chinamen
here.”
The Eighth Army commander,
asked for comment on a news re
port quoting him as saying South
Korean troops would never be
strong enough to hold the present
butteline, said, “I didn’t say that.”
Van Fleet asserted he said only
that the present Republic of Ko
rea army was noP-strong enough
to hold the battleline.
William C. Foster, U.S. deputy
Secretary of Defense, said the
Republic of Korea had asked the
United States for more financial
asistance.
Foster told* a news conference
President Syngman Rhee had sug
gested putting more South Korean
divisions on the battleline.
Van Fleet said “9 out of 10 Roit
divisions are now on the line.”
Foster said he did not believe
the Rok army could completely
replace the U.N. forces “in _the
foreseeable future.”
He praised the Rok units, who
have been shouldering the bulk
of the fighting in recent weeks:
“They have been putting up a
magnificent fight.”
Foster said it would take about
150 million dollars to equip a com
pletely new South Korean divi
sion. “It costs just about as much
per man as a U.S. division,” he
said.

Stevenson and Eisenhower
Exchange Scathing Attacks
(Continued from Page 3)
has been side-lined by laryngitis.
Stevenson accused Eishenower
of making a ‘‘sly and ugly cam
paign” against him, and ripped
into the general on other points.
But the emphasis in his Cleve
land speech was on the Hiss case
attacks for which, the governor
said, Eisenhower must take full
responsibility.
Stevenson gave a deposition,
when requested to do so by Hiss’
lawyers, saying that when he
knew the former State Depart
ment official he believed his rep
utation was good.
Hiss later was convicted of per
jury for swearing he did not give
secrets to a Russian spy.
Republicans—particularly Nix
on and McCarthy—have accused
Stevenson of showing bad judg
ment, among other things, for
making the deposition.
But “the facts are,” Stevenson
said, Eisenhower and John Foster
Dulles “both demonstrated a con
tinued personal faith in Alger
Hiss” even after a Detroit lawyer
“offered to provide Mr. Dulles
with evidence that Hiss had a
provable Communist record.” No
such report or warning, he said,
ever came to him.
Eisenhower was greeted in Buf
falo by a howling audience of an
estimated 15,000 — about 2,000
more than Stevenson reportedly
drew the night before.
Although aiming his sharpest
barbs at the Truman administra
tion he also took cuts at Steven
son in a newly stepped-up cam
paign against the Democratic
nominee.
He said Stevenson “goes down
the line for the administration
record ... by personal choice”
and then gave his version of what
that record stands for.
Eisenhower said Tom Pender
gast, former Kansas City political
boss who made Truman his politi
cal protege, is dead but “his pol- !
itical i nfluence, his political j
morals, his political offspring —
they all go marching on.”
TRAFFIC HAZARD REMOVED
TOKYO, (iP)—A truck carrying
an 18-ton U.S. Army tank crashed
into a building Tuesday when its
brakes failed and demolished the
structure.
That ended the. petition cam
paign of suburban residents who
had been seeking removal of the j
building as a traffic hazard.
FOR SWEETER SMOKING
It was not until a cigaret man
ufacturer started adding about ten
percent sugar to tobacco that cig
urets became popular.
In curing tobacco, almost all
of the native sugar in the leaf is
removed. The job that sugar does
in tobacco is to enhance moisture
and serve as combustible mater
ial. In the process, it blends pro
teins and chemicals in tobacco as
they burn so that a mild and
pleasant acid smoke can be drawn
into the mouth.
SHARKS HUNTED FOR PROFIT
PORT SUDAN, UP)—An all-out
campaign against sharks in Mo
hammed Gulf area of the Red Sea
is underway, but not for safety
purposes. The drive is designed
to produce revenue through the
sale of fish meal and valuable
shark oil. Recently a fisheries
officer caught nine sharks in 40
minutes, including one that
weighed 600 pounds, in these
waters.
AP Survey Shows Gains
By Stevenson in West
(By the Associated Press)
The mid-October survey by the
Associated Press of the views of
editors and political writers in
the Rocky Mountain - West Coast
region brought out the opinion
that Stevenson has gained in five
of the 11 states in the last six
weeks.
Eisenhower, listed early in Sep
tember as leading in 10 of the 11
states, now is considered ahead
in eight of them.
The combined views of news
men who took part in the survey
is that Stevenson now might get
Utah (4 electoral votes) and Wash
ington (7) if the election j«vere
held at this time,
