Communication
Dear Editor:
! Public Criticism vs. Local Govt.
The City Council holds their
j meeting every second Monday for
the purpose of enacting rules and
regulations for the best interest of
the City of Nome. Every person in
Nome is. or should be, directly or
indirectly interested in any action
1 taken by the members of the
: council in dealing with our city
I affairs.
In order to play fair I might say
that any action taken in consider
! ation of city affairs by the council
members is done with a firm be
1 lief that they are doing everything
possible to improve our local con
ditions and the expenditures are
made to conform to the city finan
cial budget.
But . . . every citizen of our
community should take inventory
of their true sentiment regarding
! any action taken by the council of
Nome in the past and endeavor to
' take a more active part in our city
affairs in the future.
Attend your city council meet
ings and when the many measures
■ are brought up for consideration
by the council ever voter has the
i right to request a hearing on the
, subject.
! At the last council meeting, held
on March 8th, there was present
i four members of the council, may
or, city clerk and city attorney. I
was the only other person present
to offer what I considered con
structive and progressive sugges
i tions for the good of our city.
I take this method as a commit
tee of one to ask in all sincerity,
the citizens of Nome to attend
your council meetings. Express
your own ideas for or against any
action contemplated by the coun
cil.
That is the right of the Nome
public. Attend all meetings and
take the floor with any construc
tive suggestions and go home with
a clear conscience which will give
you the right to criticize the coun
cil action if they do not see fit to
consider your suggestions.
I firmly believe that Nome of all
Alaskan cities with all the com
plex measures dealing with good
government is absolutely lax in
the co-operation given our city by
the Nome citizens in helping the
members of our city council de
cide on measures which are of
vital importance to everyone in
the community.
Myself included, I firmly believe
that the people of Nome havej
overlooked the fact that our city i
council can only act as they, as a
small group, see fit without any'
constructive suggestions from the
public taxpayers.
Let us put the City of Nome out
in front of other Alaskan cities by
everyone attending all council
meetings. Every individual and
the presence of the press is neces
sary to carry on an active cam
paign for the best interest of our
community.
Attend your council meetings
instead of criticizing their action
on measures of vital importance to
you and the community as a
whole.

Seek To Delay Test
On Civil Rights
WASHINGTON, </P)—Adminis
tration officials were reported
seeking today to stave off a civil
rights showdown until the Demo
cratic convention in July.
At that time, a party official
said, the resolutions committee
will be asked to work President
Truman’s hotly-debated proposals
into a compromise plank in the
1948 platform.
These proposals come before a
committee of southern governors
here Saturday. Indications were
they would be roundly condemned.
And the governors’ report m ght
throw new fuel on the fire of a
Dixie Democratic revolt.
With this in mind, Mr. Tru
man’s supporters are said to have
agreed to leave it strictly up to the
resolutions group to decide how
strong a pledge the party wants to
make toward bringing about race
equality.
The convention group will be
made up of members from each
state and territory and the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Thus rebelling southerners will
have a choice in deciding the issue
even if they are outnumbered by
northern and western Democrats.
