Chamber Hears
About Two New
Systems for Nome
By RUTH McLEAN
The N.W.A. Chamber of Com
merce extended the usual hour
of its weekly meeting in order to
study the preliminary report and
blue prints of the proposed sew
age and water system which the
has just received from the engi
neers. Details of the report were
explained by £arl Glavinovich to
the Chamber members who all
expressed keen interest in this im
portant step toward the realiza
tion of a modem sanitation and
water system for Nome.
President Jim Walsh advised
the Chamber members that a let
ter has been sent to Mayor An
dersen and the City Council to
reiterate the Chamber’s interest in
and support of the proposed sys
tem.
In order that the members be
informed about the new telephone
company which has asked for a
franchise from the city, Boyd Har
wood and P. L. Reader, officers
of the company, outlined its pri
mary purpose, which is to install
an efficient dial telephone system
in Nome.
Mr. Harwood said that if the
non-exclusive franchise is granted
the two companies who are con
sidering placing the new system
here will make a commercial sur
vey and then definitely decide on
the installation. The two com- j
panies are the Kellog Switchboard
Co., and the Western Electric Co.
A preliminary survey has been
made by a representative of the
companies and it is his opinion
that a new dial system would be
practical for Nome, Mr. Reader,
told the Chamber.
The local officers of the pro
posed telephone company are a
legal body to represent the com
pany, who will install the new
system, according to Harwood
and Reader.
President Walsh thanked them
for presenting the information
concerning the request for a fran
chise which will be voted on in
the special election next Tuesday.

REDS MAKE SPACE
CONTROL FIRST AIM
OF NATIONAL POLICY’
WASHINGTON, (JV-Sen. Lyn
don B. Johnson said yesterday the
returning Congress faces decisions
that may determine who gains
“total control over the earth for
. . . tyranny or the service of
freedom.”
“The peril of the hour is obvi
ous,” he said.
Johnson, Senate Democratic
leader and chairman of the pre
paredness subcommittee which
has been probing into the status
of the nation’s missile and rockets
programs, said Russia’s leaders
have made space control “a first
aim of national policy.”
In remarks prepared for a cau
cus of Democratic senators meet
ing just ahead of the formal open
ing of the new congressional ses
Strauss Says Much
Progress in Peace
Uses of R-Bomb
WASHINGTON UPt—AEC Chair
man Lewis Strauss said today
“considerable progress’ has been
made by both Britain and the
United States toward harnessing
the power of the hydrogen bomb
for peaceful purposes.
He predicted parallel Washing
ton and London announcements
in a few weeks.
But, Strauss told a news con
ference, the practical • application
of thermonuclear energy to power
production is years and years and
years away.
Strauss also told the conference
that the Atomic Energy Commis
sion has built and operated 23 nu
clear power reactors in the U.S.
for civilian and military uses; 44
more are under construction, and
21 are in earlier stages of devel
opment.
Strauss added that the total of
88 “is not approached by any oth
er country”—an obvious claim
that the United States is far ahead
of the Soviets in this field.
Face To The Future
PLANNED TO COMBINE the
functional realities of a jet-age
air terminal with the aesthetic
drama of flight, Trans World
Airlines new unit terminal at
New York International Airport
(Idlewild) will incorporate every
convenience for the air traveler
of today and tomorrow. Designed
by Eero Saarinen & Associates,
the dramatic new TWA terminal
will accommodate all convenien
ces for the arriving or departing
air passengers. Service shops
will ring the perimeter; a car
peted seating area at the center,
sunk below the surrounding floor
level, will provide a theatre for
viewing the spectacle of jet
planes landing and taking off
through the all-glass wall ex
panse. A restaurant, coffee shop,
bar, and a meeting room will oc
cupy separate areas. Passengers
will proceed to and from their
flights on moving sidewalks
along the length of the tubular
glass-topped “fingers” that lead
to the boarding areas.

sion, Johnson said U.S. leaders
have followed a different course.
“Some dismiss the Sputniks as
playtoys,” he continued, adding
that Congress must decide which
nation is correct.”
Ultimate Position
“The urgent race we are now in
—or which we must enter—is not
to perfect long-range ballistics
missiles,” Johnson said.
“There is something more im
portant than any ultimate weap
on. That is the ultimate position—
the position of total control over
earth that lies somewhere out in
space.
“This is the future, the distant
future, tho not so distant as we
have thought. Whoever gains that
ultimate position gains control,
total control, over the earth, for
purposes of tyranny or the service
of freedom. . . .
t \
Administration Criticized!
“The ground beneath us when
we last met has been, largely,
swept away. How much is gone,
how much remains, are questions
no man can answer with author
ity.”
Johnson criticized decisions of
the Eisenhower Administration
which he said slowed down or im
peded U.S. efforts in the missile
satellite field.
“From the evidence accumulat
ed,” he said, “we do know this:
the evaluation of the importance
of control of outer space made by
us has not been based primarily
on the judgment of men most
qualified to make such an ap-.
praisal.”

Scandinavian Airways
‘Film Star Route’
OSLO, Norway, UR—Forty-three
thousand people have flown the
routes of the Scandinavian Air
lines System between the West
Coast of the U.S. anl Europe since
the service was started in Novem
ber 1954.
The number of Hollywood resi
dents using the flights has made
the SAS call it “the film Star
route.”
The other SAS route across the
North Pole has its terminals in
Scandinavia and Tokyo. It was
opened in March 1947, and since
then 5,400 passengers have used it.
