Big Time In Old
Town Night Of
Saturday, Dee, 13
Now that the election is over;
mining operation closed down;
Bering Sea frozen, and all quiet
on Nome’s waterfront, the Roof
Garden, as usual, comes at an op
portune time and with traditional
custom, long established, brings
the people of the community to
gether for an evening of rare so
cial enlovment and relaxation.
It was not intended by the com
mittee on program that any pub
licity be given to the progress
being made by the group that is
preparing to put on the minstrel
show, but the “Nugget” reporter
who sneaked in and witnessed
yesterday’s rehearsal felt it would
be unfair to the public to allow
such an unusual classical per
formance to go unreported. In
the States it would be a “scoop”
for some cub for his moniing
paper. While not giving away
secrets, he tells us that it will be
the talk of the town for months
to come. One member of the cast
was heard to remark: “It’s no
fooling to work under Mrs. Jack
son’s direction, she is precision to
the nth degree.” You perform or
you’re out.
The committee on concessions,
which covers the games of chance
representing early pioneer life,
entertainment and customs, ad
vise that you will wonder whe
ther you are in Nome or Monte
Carlo. Nothing is left undone to
make this Roof Garden a replica
of the “Days of ’98.” Everybody
wins a prize. You might take
home a turkey, a wrist watch or
that beautiful, rare, huge gold
nugget. Prizes for the children
also, what with the “Fish Pond,”
shooting gallery, etc. What A
Night!

Wreckage of C-124
On Mt. Gannett
ANCHORAGE, f/P)—The snow
covered wreckage of a giant C-124
l military plane which carried its
52 passengers to their doom Nov.
22 has been found by an edu
cator-flier high on the icy slopes
of an Alaskan mountain.
It was-located only a few hours
after another military plane had
crashed Friday at Tacoma, Wash.,
bringing fiery death to 36 of the
39 persons aboard.
And it was one of nine military
planes with 209 persons aboard
which have crashed with dis
astrous results or disappeared in
the great circle from Korea to
Montana in the past three weeks.
Official Washington, taking no
tice of the tragic series which
wiped out whole families, order
ed investigation of its Alaska
connected radio navigational aids
and communications systems.
Dr. Terris Moore, president of
the University of Alaska and a
skilled pilot, flew to the Alaska
C-124 Globemaster wreckage with
a companion whose identity has
not been learned. They landed
near the mountain’s summit in
Moore’s ski-equipped light plane.
His description of the scene was
a terse “There is no sign of life.”
The comment, radioed to planes
which circled overhead, told
nothing more. But Air Force pilots
said the wreckage was covered by
snow, with only the tail showing.
They speculated that a snow
slide occurred after the plane, en
route to Elmendorf Air Force
Base, Tacoma, rammed into Mt.
Gannett 1,000 feet below the
peak’s 9,100-foot summit.
High winds kept Moore and his
companion from leaving the
wreck scene, but they were drop
ped supplies to tide them over
the night. Meanwhile Air Force
rescue officials were studying the
feasibility of taking a trail crew
to the crash scene.
Korea \Vill Not Accept
Truce Arranged by U.N.
Against Its Wishes
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., {JP)
—South Korea announced Tues
day it would not accept any truce
arranged by the United Nations
against its wishes. President Syng
mun Rhee’s foreign minister in
dicated that his government be
lieves Korea’s future is nobody
else’s business.
The statement, which appeared
to rule out acceptance of a truce
worked out by the U.N. General
Assembly or the Unified Com
mand, was made in the event of
a scheduled trip to Korea by
President-elect Eisenhower.
The South Korean statement
was issued 'as U.N. delegates made
plans to get priority for an Indian
plan on breaking the prisoner of
war deadlock. The plans were
pushed despite Russia’s flat re
jection of the Indian proposal.
