Many Honor Col. Bodle
At Farewell Banquet
—
Last Friday evening a banquet
was held at the Pioneer Hall, in
honor of Col. John E. Bodle, de
parting commander of the Nome
Air Base as an expression from
the people of Nome for his fine
co-operation and civic spirit.
The hall was filled to capacity
with appreciative friends, includ
ing several of the officers and
their wives from the Nome Air
Base.
Speaker of the evening Frank
Bingham, U. S. Dist. Attorney,
who replaced S. David Mazen
scheduled speaker who was in the
hospital, spoke most highly of Col.
Bodle and reviewed several of the
instances that Col. Bodle had vol
untarily helped in civic instances.
He also stated that in many places
in Alaska the lack of such co-op
eration has caused hard feelings
and serious trouble.
Col. Joel Mallory, new com
manding officer was called upon
by the toastmaster, Mayor Luther
Dunbar, and responded that he
was glad that he will be able to
take over and carry on in ‘the
same co-operative spirit as his
predecessor.
Senator O. D. Cochran was also
called upon for a few remarks and
added his praise to that of Frank
Bingham for the community.
Mrs. John Bodle was then pre
sented with a beautiful ivory
bracelet, on which was carved a !
dog team, for her graciousness'
and friendliness. Col. Bodle was
p r e s e nted with a beautifully
carved walrus tusk cribbage board
with figures in relief, on which
was engraved “To Col. John E.
Bodle from the people of Nome.”^
Col. Bodle, in responding stated
that he was overwhelmed with the ,
gratitude of the people of Nome
as at no time did he feel he was ‘
doing more than his duly. He also i
-stated that this was the first time;
that he has been so honored and
that he was most grateful and
happy to have , made so many
friends. He also stated that only
by co-operation between the civil
ian people and the army can any
project be successful as the army |
is a part of the people and not !
something apart. He stated that
the ivory tusk will always be on
his desk and highly treasured.
Mrs. Bodle expressed her sin
cere appreciation for the gift and
stated she would treasure it high
ly in memory of the fine friends
she has made here.
Music was furnished by Mrs.
M. Day who sang “A Perfect
DeGaulle Calk
For New French
General Elections
PARIS. (>P>—Gen. Charles de
Gaulle called today for dissolu
tion of France’s national assembly
and new general elections, and
was promptly attacked by the
Communists on charges of seeking
to set up “a reactionary dictator
ship.”
De Gaulle asserted that the re
sults of municipal elections which
were begun throughout France
last Sunday and completed yester
day proved that parliament no
longer represents the people and
called for new voting laws to en
able the national legislature to
have a ‘ coherent majority.”
Still incomplete returns on vot
ing in cities, towns and villages of
yesterday and last Sunday showed
the Socialists and Radical-Social
ists a dominant factor in small
communities, despite inroads made
by De Gaulle’s rally of the French
People <RPF> which was organ
ized six months ago. No party at
present has a clear majority in
parliament.
The wartime leader declared
that his party’s showing has spell
ed the beginning of the end for his
arch foes, the Communists.
Florimond Bonte, Communist
party spokesman, declared that
De Gaulle’s statement was moti
vated by a desire for "‘personal
power” and that his desires would
"clash with the will of the French
people, who will know how to
unite its democratic working class
force.
De Gaulle’s statement came
amid an impending cabinet crisis
and the imminent threat of strikes
by three Communist-dominated
labor groups—the railwaymen,
utility workers and government
employees. These developments
overshadowed the outcome of yes
terday’s runoff elections in
France’s small towns and villages.
Day,” and was accompanied by
Mrs. Luther Dunbar. She also led
community singing during the
evening.
A hearty applause was given
Antonio Polet, chairman of ar
rangements who made the party
possible, through his experience
and ability.
A beautiful amaryllis with four
blossoms decorated the speakers
table and was loaned through the
courtesy of Mrs. Fred Rohn.
Dishes and silver were loaned
by the management of the Nevada
Grill.

Politics" In Calling
Special Session

House banking committee, accus
! ed the President of “plying poli
tics” by linking rising living costs
with foreign aid.
Senator Flanders (R.-Vt.*, chair
man of a House-Senate sub-com
mittee investigating the cost of
living, said the President “has
stated our problem” on high prices
but “has not given much help on
i how the thing is to be solved.”
Suggestions from the chief ex
ecutive now, he said, would have
“given a three weeks running start
for Congressional committees. He
added that he thought Republi
cans had “better be working on
some solution of their own.”
With hunger and cold threaten
ing in Europe and “millions of
families” here already “victims of
inflation," Mr. Truman told the
nation, there are only two courses
which could be taken.
“We could choose the course of
inaction,” he said.
“We could wait until depression
caught up with us, until our liv
ing standards sank, and our peo
ple tramped the streets looking
for jobs. Other democratic na
%
tions would lose hope, and become
easy victims of totalitarian aggres
sion. That would be the course of
defeatism and cowardice.”
The program which he wants
i Congress to enact will be laid
; down when it meets Nov. 17. The

gave out Saturday night were that
France must have $357,000,000 for
essential imports until next March
and Italy must have $285,000,000.
The President was less specific
on the legislation he wants to deal
with the domestic situation. When
Congress meets, he said, “I shall
recommend a program for deal
I ing with inflation, high prices, and
the high cost of living. Adequate
measures—enacted in time — are
necessary to correct the present
I situation ”
I He placed the blame for spiral
| ing prices on “the great demand
among our own people for avail
able goods”—thereby challenging
the argument of some Republicans
in Congress that the foreign aid
program is more or less responsi
ble.
