Nome - Convention City of Alaska
WTOME HAS BEEN HOST to two state conventions this past
^ * month during the time of the year which is usually the most
Quiet. The results were satisfying in many ways to both die visitors
and the community as well.
Miami was once only a winter tourist center where the wealthy
west for Suushim » was - cold farther north. The rest sf the
year it was practically closed up. They have learned to utilize their
facilities by making them attractive in off season months. It now
offers special hotel rates to conventions and last November played
host to 60 conventions in that month alone, at rates less than half
the charge for the regular season.
Many people living in other parts of Alaska as well as in the
lower forty-eight would like to come to Nome and it behooves die
businessmen and leaders of the city to take advantage of the ex
perience of other convention towns and make group trips attractive
during the winter months.
Nome's winter attractions outweigh the summer sightseeing
for people who live in places without snow. Properly advertised
there could be conventions and special tours here most of the
year.

DON’T FORESEE EARLY
BERLIN SETTLEMENT
MOSCOW ifi — East German
Communist leader Walter Ulbricht
dashed cold water Monday on
hopes lor an early Berlin settle
ment. He said in a Pravda inter
view that East Germany never will
accept International control of the
access routes to Communist-sur
rounded West Berlin.
Establishment of such control is
a key feature in reports of current
U.S.-Soviet contacts on the future
of the divided city 110 miles inside
East Germany.
“It is out of the question,” Ul
bricht asserted, “that access to the
NATO military base in West Ber
lin could be insured.”

JFK Pledges Effort
To Maintain Wage -
Price Stability
ATLANTIC CITY » — Presi
dent Kennedy pledged yesterday a
continuing effort to maintain wage
price stability, saying that if people
considered this improper they
could get a new White House oc
cupant.
Kennedy clearly outlined his
view that the times call for a
strong President in a rousing ad
dress to more than 10,000 delegates
and observers at the United Auto
Workers Convention.
The President rejected the idea
that the nation’s chief executive
should be a mere functionary. He
cited the expressed belief of former
President Harry Truman that the
President has the responsibility of
representing the mass of the
American people.
“I believe,” Kennedy said, “it is
the business of the President of
the United States to concern him
self with the general welfare and
the public interest — and if the
people feel that it is not, then they
should secure the services of a
new President.”
Some 10,000 delegates and on
lookers thronged to Atlantic City’s
Convention Hall to hear the Presi
dent.
Kennedy drew the lustiest roar
from the friendly crowd when he
predicted Congress this year would
enact a program of medical care
for the aged financed through the
social security program.
He based his appeal for non
inflationary wage and benefit set
tlements on “gains out of the fruits
of technology instead of the pockets
of the consumers.” In effect, he
called for generally holding in
creases to the same ratio as rises in
Twwhintivitv.
umy a week ago Kennedy had
voiced a similar appeal to business
for support of his economic moder
ation policies. In an address to the
U.S. Chamber of Commerce in
Washington, Kennedy had also, as
he did again yesterday, pledge
assurance the government will
steer clear of wage-price fixing.
His remarks were often inter
rupted by thunderous applause.
The crowd was augmented by the
fact Atlantic City school children
had been released from their class
es for the occasion.
Banners and balloons festooned
the Convention Hall. One huge
banner said “UAW ah the way
with JFK.” Another proclaimed
that “we have a good President, we
need a better Congress.”
Kennedy departed considerably
from his prepared text, not men
tioning for one thing the opening
line of his text saying “in the leg
islative and political battles which
lie ahead, I am counting on your
support”
On the eve of Kennedy’s speech,
UAW president Walter Reuther
hurried out a statement confirm
ing that the union’s collective bar
gaining policy conforms with Ken
nedy’s economic stability goals.
It came out one day after Reu
ther appeared to be bucking
against the administration’s ap
peals to keep pay raises closely
geared to rises in productivity.

concluded Alaska Bar Assn, meet
ing in Juneau, a new organization

Bay, near Cold Bay in the Aleutian
Chain, 17th Coast Guard District
headquarters reported Tuesday.

of the men as James Wilson and
Harry Johnson*. The name of the
third person involved was not

X-15 Withstands Heat Test
EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE,
Calif. UR — An X-15 rocket plane
streaked 3,511 miles an hour over
the desert yesterday in a deliberate
test of its ability to withstand heat
built up by air friction.
Officials said temperatures on
steel skin of the craft rose to about
1,000 degrees Farenheit.
Air Force Maj. Bob Rush worth
was not trying for records in either
speed or altitude.
He leveled off at 72,000 feet and
began his dash with tail flaps ex
tended to keep his speed down to
the maximum called for in the
flight plan.
Rushworth made the run in the
same X-15 which reached a record
4,093 mph Nov. 9.
Officials said the X-15’s main
goal is to determine how fast fu
ture space craft can plunge bade
into the earth's atmosphere with
out burning up.

Believes Gold
Subsidy Should
Be More Than $35
WASHINGTON Wi — Sen. Ernest
Gruening says a proposed subsidy
for newly-mined domestic gold
should be more than the suggested
$35 an ounce.
Gruening is a co-sponsor of a
bill that would establish incentive
payments of up to -35 an ounce
payments of up to $35 an ounce
treasury-set price of $35 an ounce.
“I have said before that gold
is a weapon and that, in the cold
war we are in, we must arm. Gold
can also be a weapon for peace,”
said Gruening in a statement Mon
day.
The senator, who did not say
how much he thought the subsidy
should be increased, noted that
C. Douglas Dillon, Secretary of the
Treasury, has said he would dis
cuss the foreign reaction to a gold
subsidy during a visit to Italy in
the next few days.
“It is my opinion that no one
can mistake a subsidy for a raise
in the price of gold,” said Gruen
ir.g.
The Treasury Department in the
past has opposed changes in gold
prices because it would upset in
ternational monetary arrangements.
