es it understood that warrants for
Salaries, Old Age Pensions, per
diem and postage will not be pay
able at any particular bank. Such
warrants may be presented to,
and will be cashed by, any bank
inasmuch as there are special
funds on hand for these purposes
and these warrants have no form
of assignment on their reverse
side nor will they be stamped with
the name of any particular bank.
The Treasurer also wishes it un
derstood that no warrant of any
will be released unless there is I
money on hand to assure its im
mediate payment on presentation.
In other words, all warrants will
be paid; Those payable at the bank
designated on the warrant's face
will be paid by that particular
bank on presentation; those
warrants not marked payable
through a designated bank will be
paid bv any bank to which pre
sented for payment.
The above does not mean that
warrants made payable at a cer
tain bank cannot be presented for
payment at some othe’’ bank. It
does mean, however, that such
warrants may be accepted by an
other bank for collection and
credit therefor given to the payee
named in the warrant by the pay
ing bank only after the bank
through which it is payable has
honored it.
The Treasurer has advised all
banks in the Territory, as well as
banks in the City of Seattle, where
Territorial warrants are some
times presented for payment, that ,
no warrant of any kind or for any
purpose will be issued unless
funds are on hand to pay same.
The arrangement concluded be

makes it possible for the latter to
pay its obligations in a more busi

Govt. May Curtail
Export Of Steel
Due To Strike
PITTSBURGH, {/P) — The gov
ernment is considering clamping
down on the export of steel in the
face of dwindling inventories
which threaten idleness to hun
dreds of thousands in American
industries.
Many companies are taking pre
cautionary steps of their own as
the nationwide steel strike goes
into its fifth day.
Westinghouse Electric corpora
tion put a rationing system into ef
fect today on many appliances.
There’s no sign of peace in the
steel strike.
And the picture remains almost
as dark in the coal walkout.
The double-barrelled attack on
America’s economy has idled 513.
000 steelworkers and 330,000
united mine workers.
The issues are about the same.
The workers want a better pen
sion and welfare program.
Philip Murray, president of the
s: eel workers, is standing pat on
his demand that industry pay all
'he costs of a pension and welfare
program. Industry is standing pat.
too. It will pay up to 10 cents an
hour—but insists workers chip in
a few cents an hour, too.
There are no negotiating ses

keeping hands off for the present.
That does not mean the govern
ment isn’t concerned. Secretary of
commerce Charles Sawyer says
he’s considering export controls on
steel. That would keep more steel
in America, prolonging employ
ment in many industries in case
the strike isn’t ended soon.
Almost as Sawyer was talking,
Westinghouse placed a number of
home appliances on an allocation
basis to distributors and dealers.
These include large model refrig
erators, electric ranges, washing
machines, clothes driers, vacuum
cleaners, water heaters and fans.

Methodist Church
Celebrates Fiftieth
Anniersary
Rev. P. Gordon Gould, superin
tendent of the Methodist Mission
and Dr. Fred Pedersen, of the
Board of Church Extension, along
with the new Woman’s Division
worker for the Club House, Miss
Esther McCoy, arrived in town by
plane today to take part in the
50th Anniversary events of the
church. The Golden Anniversary
Dinner will be held Friday eve
ning at 6:30 in the Church’s social
rooms, and the guests will be
speakers at the Sunday services.
Fifty years'ago, when our town’s
golden beach began to be covered
with gold seekers, and the rush for
the North got under way, along
with the would-be prospectors
came several ministers, out of
which came into being the present
organization now known ns the
Federated Church. S. Hall Young
in his autobiography tells of the
enthusiastic group of religious
workers that were here in the
year 1900, and who spent that
year, along with most others, in
tents along the beach. He was a
Presbyterian minister, and tells ot
the Congregational workers who
had reached Nome shortly before
him. and according to record of
the Congregational Board of Na
tional Missions, had organized a
congregation in the year 1899.
That winter the large “rush”
that made the following year so
difficult had not arrived, so that
the church was fairly well started,
building on a background of pre
vious groundwork laid by the Mis
sion Covenant people who had
been working with Swedish miners
in the surrounding country for
several years previously, and who
at one time had even attempted to
go to Siberia as missionaries.
By the winter of 1900 the water
was often polluted, and many of
the people were ill with influenze.
The Christian workers attempted
to operate dispensaries, and even
late that winter, drafted the aid of
saloon keepers, acording to Rev.
I Young.
The present Federated building
was built in 1902, and was named
the Pilgrim Congregational church.
Meetings had previously been held
at the old building now known as
the Kassiam. and at other points.
A Methodist Children’s home
was built at Sinook. 12 miles west,
and the Methodist Church, now
known as the Lavinia Wallace
Young Mission was built in 1906.
The Methodist minister had been
holding services in other buildings
having organized his congregation
in 1901, and had worked with
other groups until the town be
came more established. Rev. and
Mrs. William F. Baldwin came to
Nome in 1909 to serve the Meth
odist Church in Nome, and con
tinued to serve there at the La
vinia Wallace Young Mission, as
it came to be known after the fed
eration of the Methodist and Con
gregational churches. The Chil
dren’s home at Sinook burned
about 1912 and was replaced by a
home beside the mission. The
Methodist Hospital had been held
first in tents, then in the “old i
nurses home,” then in the May
nard Columbus Hospial. which
burned a year and a half ago, now j
succeeded in turn by the present
new Hospital. There was a gym- j
nasium built in connection with j
the Children’s home, and after the
Home was discontinued and the
children taken to Jesse Lee Home [
at Seward, both the home and the i
old “gym” were dismantled. The

Vote Against (Mds
For Federal Power

WASHINGTON, (VP) — A Senate
commerce sub-committee voted
unanimously yesterday against ap
proving a third term for Leland
Olds on the federal power com
mission.
The sub-committee includes
four Democrats and three Repub
licans.
The full interstate commerce
committee is slated to meet today
and may act formally on the sub
committee’s recommendation then.
Since the full committee has only
13 members, the sub-committee
constitutes a majority of it.
Olds. 38. has served on the com
mission since 1939. He was first
appointed to it by President
nooseveit.
President Truman nominated
Olds for another term, but he can
not serve without Senate a orovai.
