ALASKA YOUTH AND POLITICS
(The Alaska Weekly)
0
Territorial Senator Howard Lyng of Nome, one
of the truly respected political leaders in the north,
believes that the young men and women of Alaska,
many of whom will vote for the first time in the April
29 primaries, should be encouraged to take a keener
interest in the politics of the Territory, and participate
actively therein.
Senator Lyng expresses himself as follows in a
communication to The Alaska Weekly:
“Today, to the citizen of Alaska and the United
States proper, and especially to its youth, nothing is
more important than the obligation of citizenship and
participation in politics and government. There is an
extreme urgency—in fact, a paramount duty—devolv
ing upon the youth of the land, of actively participating
in public affairs, so as to aid in the perpetuation, amid
changing world conditions, of our great Republic’s
constitutional form of government, based on its under
lying principles of liberty and representative govern
ment.
“Active participation, at the minimum, means
exercise of the right to vote and the intelligent under
standing of the issues involved. But, as far as young
people are concerned, political activity means consid
erably more. The youth of Alaska—of America—must
interest themselves in the representatives for whom
they vote. Candidates for public office usually are
selected from a group of men or women who have
been identified with political organizations at precinct,
district or Territorial level. Consequently, the young
person who may not desire public office for himself,
but wants to have a hand in the selection of those who
do serve, should begin at an early date to take part in
the local affairs of his party.
“The highest plane of active political participation
is service in public office. There is no finer career to
which a young man or woman can aspire. It is essential
that we have young men and women in the city halls—
the state and Territorial capitals and the halls of Con
gress—today. Youth understands more readily perhaps
than its elders that government must constantly adapt
itself to meet changing conditions. Youth is more bold
to act if action is needed to provide all of our people
with the benefits and privileges which our society
offers them. Youth brings to the political scene a re
freshing vigor and idealism — the same vigor and
idealism that sustained our government vjhen it was
young, and is so badly needed now.
“There is no profession today that has greater
need for the infusion of new blood—new ideas from
young people with high ideals of service to humanity
—than politics, for the members of no other profession
shoulder such all-encompassing responsibility for the
lives, security and well-being of their fellow man.
“The issue of universal participation in politics
and government is the challenge of this hour in Amer
ica today. It may be less inspiring to youth than a bugle
call to arms, to ask for an increasing interest and watch
fulness in our common affairs, but only through that
united effort on the part of all of us, can we preserve
our heritage of freedom for ourselves and future gen
erations.”
Dr. Karl Evang, director general of public health,
Norway: — “To achieve its proper objective of- con
tributing to positive health, sports must be engaged
in by the average citizen.”

NATO going strong because “the
quest for peace is always with
us.”
He said publication of his re
quest to go back on inactive status
was delayed because of his desire
to break the news himself to the
other NATO commanders that he
was leaving.
Eisenhower told these 70 hard
bitten military officials Friday,
shortly before the Washington an
nouncement was made.
An aide said his moving speech
brought tears to the eyes of every
man there.
The general will leave April 16
for Brussels to begin a series of
farewell visits to the NATO capi
tals in Europe.
The general began his confer
ence by explaining that “in the
past month my personal life has
been markedly changed.
“Since my January statement
(in which he said he would ac
cept but not seek the Republican
nomination) events in the United
States and their incessant reper
cussions here have made it im
possible for.me to remain.”
His chief of staff, Gen. Alfred
M. Gruenther, and the Allied
Commander in Kcrrea, Gen. Mat
thew B. Ridgway, have been pro
minently mentioned in specula
tion about the new NATO boss.
