CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE
Weekly noon luncheon held at
the Polaris Grill. Present were
Larry Galvin, A. Polet, Ted Duf
field, Dewey Goodrich, Gordon
Osborne, Dick Cornwell, Jack Dil
lon, Steve Andersen, George Bea
com, John McUees, Les Bronson,
Clarke Lewis, Marvin Troutman
Jacob Hanson and Tex Zeigler.
Ted Duffield, recommended that
the Chamber solicit any sugges
tions and recommendations from
all parties interested regards leg
islative issues on political stand
points as there as many problems
the Chamber is not aware of that
people would like support on. In
this way these suggestions could
be passed on to the Legislators.
Steve Andersen recommended
that Legislators make some action
regards requesting the Territory
for assistance in the case of main
taining the Nome harbor.
The City Planning Council was
discussed by those present with
many suggestions and recommen
dations made. The definite need
for its function, reasons for its ex
istence, and need for more co-op
eration was discussed fully, with
Bronson, McNees and Andersen
giving many pertinent facts' re
garding this matter. The feeling
| of the townspeople as a whole
must be determined regards ’ the
city owning public utilities, etc.,
f and the full cooperation of all be
' fore this group can accomplish its
primary aim. At present, more in
dividuals are needed on the Plan
ning Council.

told the Senate he believed Ha
waii is equally important, and
that Lucas had not emphasized its
statehood bid sufficiently.
“The situation in the Pacific
makes it especially important,”
Knowland said.
“Hawaii has much to offer in
helping America to understand
the Far East, and the Far East to
understand America.”
The statehood bills came before
the Senate under procedure by
which bills may be passed only by
unanimous consent — one objec
tion is enough to block passage.
There were objections to each
I measure.
Lucas predicted both would be
considered again later under reg
ular procedure for debate, with a
majority vote to decide their fate.
stating that Mr. Armitage of Ha
waii, would arrive in Nome on
August 28 to meet with the Tour

our tourist trade. A public meet
ing is planned at the time Armi
tage arrives, at which time the

cussed.

ing Nome with his wife, spoke of

joyment he has had making this
