Shishmaref Eskimos
Organize Alaska’s First
Ike for President Club

having received this honor when
he won the hearts of Alaskans
on his tour of the territory.
The Ike For President move
ment is spurred by the hope that
he is a man of vision and would
favor a road from Fairbanks to
Nome and on to Wales, knowing
that it will open new regions of
mineral wealth.
More adequate defenses could
be hoped for in the territory as
well as submarine bases to pro
perly hold and keep all Alaska,
which means a well - defended
North America.
In urging support for Ike For
President, the Shishmaref Es
kimos, some of whom are part of
the National Guard units of north
ern Alaska, feel that he will re
commend increasing and equip
ping of these units for defense
of their homeland.
They also believe that should
he be elected, the price of gold
will be changed to offset the in
creased mining costs, making a
new life in all Alaska gold fields
and greater gold production.
Eisenhower believes in the fu
ture greatness of Alaska and he
has stated so to the people of
Alaska, personally. That is why
Vincent J. Tocktoo, president of
this distinctive club, Alex Wey
iouanna, its vice president, and
its secretary Charlie Okpowruk,
urge Alaskans to support him for
President.
We know what happens to little
boys who never tell the truth.
When they grow up they work in
the Weather Bureau.
Propaganda Rains
On Advancing
‘Aggressor’ Troops
HEADQUARTERS, U.S. ARMY,
Alaska—Propaganda leaflets, de
signed to create jealousies, dis
sension and discomfort, are being
showered on the Army’s maneu
ver enemy during Exercise White
Sox. As the aggressor troops ad
vance toward Fort Richardson
overland from the Fairbanks area,
the printed slips are dropped over
bivouac areas along the Glenn
Highway.
The “enemy” is the 1st Battal
ion, 4th Inf. Reg., preparing a
simulated attack against local
troops defending the Anchorage
area during the maneuver.
The Army’s leaflets bear mes
sages cunningly designed to make
aggressor life in the field miser
able. At Chistohina, leaflets were
dropped which stated, “Weather
forecast: 9 to 19 below zero tem
perature. Wind—chill. It’s cold
up here.”
At Tazlina, troops halted on the
highway to eat their C-rations and
found themselves deluged with
printed slips giving the day’s
menu of battalions not participa
ting in the overland movement.
To a man in the field nothing is
so irritating as the thought of
good hot food, rest and comfort.
The purpose of this type of
warfare is to test personnel as to
their attitudes, ability to ignore
propaganda and the reaction of
the officers and non - commis
sioned officers in controlling the
instructing their men in the prop
er defense against psychological
warfare.

Many Shishmaref Eskimos organized an Ike For President
Club on Lincoln's birthday anniversary, February 12, 1952.
They urge Eskimos living in other villages of this Second
Division also to organize Ike For President Clubs and that the
Republicans of Nome organize an Ike For President Club.
Ike is cm honorary member of the Pioneers of Alaska!
Club membership should demand that Alaskan delegates to
the Republican National Convention be instructed to vote for
Ike for presidential nominee.
• Ike, being President of the United States, means:
1. A better and more adequate defense system of all
Alaska — A large garrison at Nome. A submarine
base in Alaska. A larger Naval force at Kodiak.
2. A highway from Fairbanks to Nome — from Nome
to Teller, to Lost River, to Wales. Such a highway
means great things for the Second Division.
3. Maintenance of the Federal Judiciary Court in Nome.
4. Establishment of new industries for Eskimos so they
can have all-year-’round employment, better schools,
new opportunities.
5. That gold mine operators should have a gold bonus price
per ounce above present $35.00 per ounce.
«
6. Settlement of all Indian right claims in First Division
so that several new paper pulp mills will be established,
thus giving employment to. thousands of Alaskans.
7. The personnel strength of the National Guard should
be doubled.
8. That Alaskans can elect their own governor and other
now appointed officials.
9. That Alaskans should have full control over its fish
and wildlife.
10. That all native-born and other Alaskans should enjoy
all individual freedom and that free enterprise continue
to exist throughout Alaska.
