To Become
GOP Candidate
(Continued from Page One*
“While it seems unnecessary for
me to repeat that I do not actively
seek or covet any office and have
no plans for leaving my post in
Japan, I can say, and with due
humility, that I would be recreant
to all by concepts of good citizen
ship were I to shrink because of
the hazards and responsibilities
involved from accepting any pub
lic duty to which I might be called
by the American people.”
MacArthur’s announ cement
widened still further an already
bulging Republican field.
And Mr. Truman’s decision to
run drove a new wedge into the
Democratic party split over his
civil rights program.
His action killed any practical
hope of Dixie party members for a
compromise candidate.
Politicians generally agree that
now the President has spoken the
nomination cannot be denied him.
The President’s availability was
made known by Democratic chair
man J. Howard McGrath late yes

HIGH SCHOOL TO
PRESENT COMEDY
Have you ever longed to go back
down the road of memory lane
and live through the happy days
of your childhood again? Cheer
up! The Nome High School is go
ing to present that greatest of all
masterpieces, a play based on the
immortal Samuel Clemens’ “Huck
leberry Finn!” Rehearsals have
been in progress for the past two
weeks, and the play will be pre
sented Friday, March 19th in the
H. S. Gymnasium.
The play deals with “Huck’s”
problems both during childhood
and after and portrays all of his
boyish pranks, as well as his
struggle to aid his dear “Aunt
Polly” and “Aunt Ruth,” with a
fine sense of theatrical values.
You’ll howl at “Aunt Polly” who
is “so nervous”—you’ll thrill when
you see Huck fighting for his
ideals, you’ll double up with
mirth when you see handsome
young Fred Raymond trying to
propose to “Aunt Ruth.”
Don’t forget the date, Friday,
March 19th, and come prepared
for the brightest evening of clean,
clever amusement that you have
ever experienced.
