Stalin’s Body to Be
Removed From
Red Square Tomb
MOSCOW W* — Five thousand
cheering delegates and officials at
the Soviet Communist Party Con
gress voted today to remove the
body of Joseph Stalin from its
place beside Lenin in the big
tomb on Red Square.
The Congress action came in
the wake of speeches by Premier
Khrushchev and others denounc
ing the longtime Soviet dictator
as a murderer and instigator of
mass repression against Com
munist and army leaders. Khrush
chev said as a result of Stalin’s
purges, the Soviet army’s effi
ciency was at a low ebb at the
time of the German attack in
1941.
The name of Stalin, put along
side Lenin’s on the tomib when his
embalmed body was placed there
in 1953, will be removed.
There was no hnmedate an
nouncement where the embalmed
body of Stalin will be placed.
The reign of terror during the
Stalin regime has been cleared for
free and open discussion in the
Soviet Union.
For the first time Soviet news
papers branded the old dictator
as a tyrant, publishing Khrush
chev’s speech before the Party
Congress in which he charged
“thousands of absolutely innocent
people perished” in Stalin’s
purges before World War II.
Khrushchev and other party
leaders at the Congress exalted
the memory of Lenin while de
nouncing Stalin for creating a
“personality cult.”.

Highest Level of Fallout
Recorded at Frankfort, Ky.
WASHINGTON UP) — The high
est level of radioactivity in the
atmosphere reported in this coun
try over the weekend was 40
micromicrocuries per cubic meter
of air at Frankfort, Ky., on Sat
urday, the Public Health Service
said today.
The Division of Radiological
Health said yesterday’s readings
at Fairbanks and Anchorage were
2.75 and 1.17, respectively.

gross beta radioactivity in the air
in this country since Russia re- j
sumed nuclear weapons testing I
has been 709 micromicroeuries
recorded at Little Rock, Ark.,

A curie is a standard measure
ment of radioactivity, equivalent

Nikita Wants Monument
Built for Stalin’s Purges
(MOSCOW UP) — The Soviet
Union Saturday published an ap
peal from Premier Khrushchev
that a monument be built in Mos
cow to the victims of Stalin’s
purges.
The Premier told the Com
munist Party Congress that these
victims ran into the thousands.
This was the first such public
accusation by Khrushchev in the |
Soviet Union. Khrushchev’s
earlier denunciations, starting
with his 1956 speech, have not
been published here.
The proposal for a movement
was originally made by a group
of old Bolsheviks. Khrushchev’s
support indicated that the body
of the late dictator may be moved
out of the Red Square Tomb it
has long shared with that of
Lenin.
Reports circulated in the So
viet capital that some students
at <Mo6COW University have held
meetings to demand Stalin’s re
moval from the huge mausoleum,
a hallowed site for pilgrimages
by huhdreds of Soviet citizens
every day.
Gambell News

Archaeology
In spite of frost and snow.
Gambell women are digging for
that treasured relic of the “Old
Bering Sea” Eskimo. There seem
ed to be no end in uncovering
what remains from the past, the
deeper they dig, the more speci
mens they uncover.
' The first archaeologist ever to
do any digging was Dr. Moore,
who spent his time mainly on
collecting human bones with the
help of Wongittillian, a resident
of Gambell. The approximate
year, the nearest, people can re
member was shortly before 1914.

Licenses
Two marriage licenses were is
sued by the tLS. Marriage Com
missioner of Gambell to the fol
lowing persons:
Alvin Kulowiyi and Miriam Ir
rigoo.
Clement Ungott and Irma Lee
Tungiyan.
All except Alvin Kulowiyi. are
from Gambell. None of these are
married yet. If Miriam Irrigoo
remains in the hospital too long,
their license will expire.

David Shinen of Gambell has
completed his examination for
novice license for amateur radio.
The result of his examination are
forthcoming.

Change of Residence
Mr. and Mrs. Roger Slwooko
of Gambell moved to Anchorage
this fall. When asked about the
purpose of their moving, Mr.
Slwooko commented that they
are going to the Native Baptist
School in Anchorage. Slwooko
added, “that they may come back
after they complete their school
ing.”

Unprepared
Even the Eskimos on St. Law
rence Island are keeping up with
the world news, especially with
the nuclear bombs. The 50-mega
ton bomb blasted by Russia re
cently caused some excitement.
If the radio active dust is going
to fall in Alaska now and in the
future, what are we going to do?
The Civil Defense in Alaska is
not concerned about this, at least
have not done anything to help
and to instruct the All Eskimo
villages along the Alaska coast.
The common cold, which costs
industry $5 billion a year, is still
one of mankind’s greatest medi
cal mysteries. It is responsible for
30 per cent of all our missed
days from work.
