conservative American principles
than this coming year.”
He said there was a very definite
trend toward conservation in the
country.
Only twice in history has an in
cumbent president not been elected,
he said, but he said this time he
felt that Barry Goldwater, a sound,
courageous conservatist, would be
elected.
Senator Harry Byrd, of Virginia,
Benson said, told him Goldwater
would carry his state.
Benson said Byrd told him he
thought he would never see the
day “when the President of the
United States would announce de
ficit spending as national policy.”
Benson said he didn’t feel Rocke
feller had a chance.
He said he felt the country was
entitled to a choice between a con
servatist and a liberal, rather than
a choice between two liberals.
“We Republicans have no busi
ness over in the liberal ranks; we
have to give the people of this
country a choice,” he said.
Benson then charged the United
Nations was largely a failure and
being used a tool of the Commu
nists. “The United Nations defense
unit is under the control of a Rus
sian General!” he emphasized.
“Alger Hiss, Harry Dexter White,
and three or four others — part of
the first Communist cell in our
government — helped to hurry
that,” Benson charged.
He said Hiss, a young communist
from Harvard had been trained by
Socialists who had infiltrated the
economic department of that uni
versity from England.
He said Hiss first started in the
Agriculture Department trying to
get the farmer socialized, believing
the rest would fall into line. When
he wasn't successful, he went on to
other areas Benson said.
He said he was more concerned
over Cuba than any single issue. He
said the Communists were bring
ing in men from Latin American
countries training them is subver
sion and querilla tactics and send
ing them back to their own countries
to be leaders to destroy their own
countries.
“The American people hammer
on the Cuban issue until some con
structive action is taken,” he charg
ed.
“What we ought to do is to in
voke the Monroe Doctrine. It has
been our policy for 140 years and
it hasn't even been mentioned.”
“A planned and subsidized Amer
ica is not good for this country be
cause a planned and subsidized
f econmy weakens initiative, dis
courages industry, destroys char
acter, and demoralizes the people,
Benson said.
“It's not good for the people to
lean on a noble, paternalistic gov
ernment. People want to stand on
their own two' feet. This is the
spirit that has built this country
and the only spirit that will save
it.”
Men who are unhappy, like men
who sleep badly, are always proud

Official notice have been issued
by our council fourth of July com
mitteemen. Those selected to be
responsible for the success of the
queen contest are: Chairman, Roy
Brendible, and Mrs. Henry Little

Really the most active and prob
ably the busiest man for a number
of years to whom Metlakatla owes
the success of most celebrations, is
none other than our good friend

Hayward, and we should not over
look his work as things we took for

Your Reporter
About your reporter: high school
graduate from Salem Indian School
at Chemawa, Oregon, courses in
vocational and commercial. Report
er for a number of years for the
Ketchikan Daily News, appointed
as official publicity for the Alaska
Native Brotherhood at its Klukwan,
Alaska convention.
As a patient at the Mt. Edge
cumbe Hospital, I was selected to
serve on the committee to draft a
Patient’s Constitution and By-Laws.
I also served as special events re
porter on the Island Breeze, a pub
lication by the patients, and later
was selected as its editor and also
President of the patients. At this
writing I was officially appointed
by our mayor. Mr. Ryan, as Metla

We hope to see you and hear
from you at all times and really do
hope I do not bore you with my
articles. I am sure our official edi

partment. See you in our next issue.
Our species is the only creative
species, and it is only one creative
instrument, the individual mind
and spirit of a man . . . Once the
miracle of creation has taken place,
the group can build and extend it,
but the group never invents any
thing. The preciousness lies in the
lonely mind of man.—John Stein

Makes Visit
Mrs. Esther V. Schaubel stopped
briefly in Fairbanks on her way to
Kotzebue to visit old friends she
had made during the 8 years she
lived there. Kotzebue was her head
quarters when she served as a field
nurse for the Public Health Ser
vice. She also made many friends
on field trips to Pt. Hope, Kivalina,
Noatak, and many other outlying
villages. She first came to Kotze
bue in 1952. She left in 1960.
Mrs. Schaubel plans to stay ten
days in Kotzebue. ‘‘I want to be
there during the fourth of July
celebration.” she said. She plans
to visit some outlying villages she
had been to, “if I have time.”
Mrs. Schaubel is now stationed
in Shiprock, New Mexico, where
she works as a nurse at a Navajo
Indian Reservation.

Third Space Station...

have ^ be expected from the with
drawal since that company has re
ceived patent to the land.
About three weks ago, three in
dividuals aproached the F. E. Co.
about buying land for housing con
struction but a kink has developed
blocking the company from selling
the land. For housing, power would
be needed and NASA opposes con
structing of power lines in the
immediate vicinity of the stations.
The operating of television or
electric razors, for instance, is said
to cause intereference with the
delicate equipment of the data ac
quisition stations. Not long ago the
equipment at the station was going
“haywire” and extensive checking
could not locate the trouble. Fin
ally. it was found a thermostat on a
coffee pot at the data station was
causing the trouble.
The F. E. Company has consulted
Golden Valley Electric Asociation
about furnishing power to the area.
Action has been held in abeyance
pending the answering by NASA
headquarters at Greenbelt. Mary
land of exactly how far from the
station can power lines be con
structed so as to cause no interfer
ence to NASA operations.
The stations were painstakingly
placed in valleys sheltered on all
sides by hills to prevent ground in
terference.
To illustrate how quickly plans
at Gilmore have mushroomed, one
needs only trace the expansion of
power. When the station was first
designed, it was to use one 50 kilo,
watt generator. Then four 200-kilo*
watt generators were added Then
a 250-kilowatt generator was added.
This summer the power house is
being expanded and thre 500-kilo,
watt generators are being added,
making a total of 2,600 kilowatts
that Gilmore Creek will be gene*
rating.
The power house at the present
operations building will sevre th®
entire area.
The plans for expansion at Gil
more Creek bears out an exclusive
story in the May 20 issue of the
Tundra Times pointing out that
Alaska, because of its geographic lo
cation at the top of the globe, is
fast becoming space strategic.
If present plans are carried out,
the largest complex of space data
stations in the world will be lo
cated at Fox, Alaska.
