GOP Meeting Wed.
The following account of the
meeting of the Nome Republican
Club was handed to the Nome
Daily Nugget by the Secretary of
:he Republican Club, C. W.
rhornton: ,
O. S. Weaver, Divisional Com
mitteeman, reported that George
Hellerich has decided that he can
not be a candidate for the Legis
lature, and will publish a notice
to that effect. »•
As Chairman of the Campaign
Commitee, Mr. Weaver reported
nn the progress of the campaign,
to date, and plans for the future.
The Chair reported receipt of
campaign literature from several
of the candidates on the Terri
torial ticket, and distribution of
the same.
Notable in the rendering of im-1
portant services to Soviet fliers
Levanevsky and Levchenko, were
the reports gathered for them by
the U. S. Weather Bureau and U.
S. Signal Corps Stations at N .me.
Their representatives, John Paul
of the Weather Bureau and Vic
tor S. Page, Operator in Charge
of the Signal Corps Station at
Nome, placed their entire facili
ties at the disposal of the Soviet
airmen in order to secure weath
er information from the Siberian
coast, which would permit them
to leave Safety and and Teller, to j
cross the Bering Straits.
r
The difficulty of the Soviet fli
ers was immense without the ser
vices of some person who could
understand and speak both Rus-h
sian and English. Mr. Page of |:
the Radio Staation was able to I
receive the Russian weather and :
I
then transfer it to the fliers in ,;
their own language without the 11
use of an interpreter, thereby ^ I
demonstrating that his presences
in charge of the station at Nome
had contributed the utmost effi- 1
ciency in the rendering of speedy 1
and authentic reports. i
The proximity of Nome to Si- <
beria. and the outposts of the So
viet government is ample argu- j
ment that here there should be i
persons in charge of govern- 1
mental activities, especially wire
less, who are well versed in both i
Russian and English, so that i
when unusual events occur, such :
as the flight of the Soviet airmen i
through Alaska, they are better i
