Ralph Lomen returned to Nome
from his mining operations on the
Niukluk River at Council and re
ports glowing accounts of the
Nome-Council road which has just
been opened. He states that trucks
can travel about forty miles an
hour on the road when empty and'
they all are singing praises of the
swell job which the Alaska Road
Commission has done in linking
Nome with Council in an eighty
five mile road.
He cautions those with passen
^ ger cars however to hold off from
contemplating pleasure trips as
yet as the road is not suitable for
the lower built cars.

Labor Government
Still In Power
LONDON, (/P)—The Labor gov
ernment* took a renewed grip on
Britain’s political reins today af
ter beating down an almost-suc
cessful opposition attempt to force
a new election.
The vote was too close for com
fort, however. The government
mustered a margin of only six—
306 to 300—in thwarting a Con
servative bid to unseat it on the
issue of steel nationalization.
The crucial ballot was taken in
the House of Commons last night
on a motion by Conservative lead
er Winston Churchill. In effect it
asked the Commons to go on rec
ord as opposing the government’s
taking over of Britain’s steel in
dustry next Jan. 1.
Parliament passed the national
ization bill last year over bitter
Conservative opposition.
