Nome Chamber
Holds Tuesday
Luncheon
At the regular noon luncheon on
Tuesday the NWA Chamber of
Commerce heard an interesting
report of the Committee on Nome
and Vicinity. The committee re
port was read in full by chairman
John McNees. It covered very well
the request by the Alaska Devel
opment Board for adequate infor
mation about Nome and the sur
rounding territory. *Ed Note. We
will print the report in full as soon
as it is made available. The infor
mation was gathered by John
McNees and Mildred Webb, and
enta led considerable time and ef
fort.
The fact-finding comm i 11 e e
seeking information relative to the
feasability of moving the town
site, moving back from Front
Street, moving off the south side
of Front Street, or in any way bet
leiing the present conditions, re
ported they were still unable to
give a complete report of their
findings but that within a week or
two they should have a finished
report.
H. F. Harper, chairman of the
breakwater committee, reported
that there is considerable diffi
culty in obtaining the desired in
formation from the property-hold
ers on the south side of Front
Street because of their indiffer
ence to protecting their own prop
erty and the “rumor” that the
town is going to move “some
place.” He states, there are numer
ous problems arising out of the
many diversified commi 11 e e s
working on different angles, and
we are losing sight of our first
projects with the adding of new
committees. Our first proposals
were for a breakwater — a city
manager plan—adequate fire pro
tection—and reevaluation of prop
erty. We seem to have forgotten
these in the mad scramble.
A. Polet stated that there was
no disagreement between the sev
eral committees, only that each
had a different duty to perform
and that the evidence of whatever
kind would have to be weighed by
some experienced economist, who
could give an unbiased opinion
and decision in the matter.
Mr. Polet said he had written to
George Sunborg, manager of the
Alaska Development Board, as re
quested by the Chamber, and that
he thought Mr. Sunborg should
make the trip to Nome and get
first hand information on our
problems.
President Mitrovitch pointed
out that all of the information
gathered by the various commit
tees is vitally necessary for the
future of Nome in that something
must be done, and only through
research can we determine our
plan of action. We are sure that
if Nome remains at its present site,
an adequate breakwater is imper
ative and even if some move is
made, there must be protection in
the interim. The information is
necessary to make a safe and
sane decision. ,
Mr. and Mrs. William Cremidas
of Seattle were guests at the
luncheon.

17 Members Of
Jap Diet Purged
TOKYO, </P)—Russia proposed
today to purge 17 members of
Japan’s Diet including a labor
leader and a member of the Fre
ni er’s party, and got surprisingly
quick action with a minimum of
friction.
Lt. Gen. Kuzma Derevyanko
i made the motion at a meeting of
j the allied council for Japan, scene
I of many a bitter verbal clash be
j tween Russia and U. S. representa
| fives. He said all 17 were ultrana
tionalists.
Yorkson Shen, acting Chinese
delegate, and W. MacMahon Gall,
British commonwealth represen
tative, immediately swung behind
Derevyanko’s proposal.
U. S. chairman George Atche
son, Jr., invited Derevyanko to
; “let supreme headquarters have
all the evidence on which you
based the conclusion today.”
