tJfOW l.OXG HAVE VO' ’ lived in \-ime? How long has it
JL been since VOl' attended a meeting of the Citv Council
or a School Board meeting.
Xinct\ per cent of the persons reading this onlv know what
goes on at these meetings bv \ hat thev read in the Nugget after
the meetings have been held.
Nome is growing and problems are changing here as in the
rest of the state and to fullv realize the responsibility the City
Council and School Board have, each taxpayer in the community
should at least once during the year sit in on a meeting and see
for himself how the community is run. Sometimes a single sug
gestion would be of value to these men who run the city. Attend
ing a School Board meeting is an education in itself and would give
an insight in how most of the tax money is being used.
We urge every civic organization to start its active winter
season by planning participation Council meeting attendance.
The women have already spearheaded the movement with the
Home Arts Club having had members in attendance last week.
Sourdough Jack once said, "Think I'll go to the council meet
ing tonight. It's the best entertainment in town and there's no
fulmission or cover charge."
Burial Party Gathers In Cuba
P^ITH CONGRESS, and particularly the Senate beginning to
™ get tough about the administration’s continued softness on
Cuba, Secretary of State Dean Rusk is reported to have told a
group of Latin American ambassadors that any government has a
responsibility' to protect itself and its national security .
This is interpreted to mean that we might possibly take action
all by ourselves to protect the U.S. against the enemy massing in
Cuba. Whether a decision must wait until we are clobbered by
the Russians is anybody’s guess. But the President's insistence in
one breath that the Monroe Doctrine lives, and in the next that we
mustn’t invade Cuba, and that we do not know’ about Russian
missiles or troops in Cuba, has at last stirred our solons into the
realization that the U.S. is the prize the Russians want, not Latin
America — which will fall anyway when we do.

Congressional Resolution:
U.S. Will Not
'Tolerate Military
i »
Buildup In Cuba
WASHINGTON i.T — The Sen
ate adopted Thursday a resolution
warning Moscow and Havana that
the United States will not tolerate
a military buildup in Cuba cap
able of endangering U.S. security.
The vote was 86-1. The dissenter
was Sen. Winston Prouty, (R-Vt.h
| who protested that the resolution
did not go far enough.
The House was expected to fol
low quickly in the Senate's lead.
It’s Foreign Affairs Committee ap
proved unanimously Thursday
morning a resolution of identical
wording.
A main purpose of the resolution
was to give an advance show of
support for. and national will be- l
hind, any use of armed forces that
President Kennedy as Commander
in Chief may decided is necessary.
In that connection it was dis
closed that Secretary of State Dean
Rusk had outlined to the Senate
committees last Monday some of |
1ke circumstances under which
U.S armed forces would act.
Release of testimony given in <
a closed meeting showed that Rusk
said:
1. If the Cub: ns or Soviets seek
to send arms or armed forces to
other Latin American countries
sue:’, traffic '.'.ill be intercepted by
U.S armed forces.
2. Tlu; United States is conduct-;
in . a close surveillance of the |
Caribbean area, and this could lead
to incidents involving use of U.S.
armed forces.
3. If there is an attack on the
U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo,
Cuba, the President “of course”
will "move immediately with the
forces necessary to take the neces
sary action.”
The warning that the United
States will not tolerate the develop
ment of a security threat in Cuba
was contained in the report of the
Senate committees.
Such a threat “could have the
gravest possible consequences” and
the United States “will not flinch
from these consequences,” de
clared the Senate Armed Forces
and Foreign Relations Committees,
i All 33 members signed the report.

WAKEFIELD, England —
Pretty Barbara Smith, wiggling
around in her skin-tight ski pants,
almost halted operations at a shirt
factory.
Barbara, 23, a shapely brunette,
wore her pink tights to the shirt
factory Wednesday because of a
cold wind.
Maintenance mechanics stopped
work and complained to floor man
ager George Woodcock that her
curves distracted them. They were
afraid they'd have an accident
while watching her.
Woodcock told Barbara to change
into a skirt. Barbara refused. The
maintenance men were put to work
in another part of the factory
where they could keep their minds
on their work.

JFK Urges Free Nations
To Bear Greater Share
Of Burden In Financing
WASHINGTON UP — President
Kennedy said Thursday that specu
lation against the dollar has lost
its allure and no extreme or re
strictive measures are needed to
cope with the problems remaining.
However, Kennedy did not plug
for the status quoted in interna
tional currency arrangements. He
said the United States will always
be receptive to suggestions for ex
panding the arrangements.
In an address to a joint session
of leaders of the International
Monetary Fund and the World
Bank, Kennedy pushed anew for
greater progress toward a long
standing American goal, that of
getting other prosperous free na
tions to bear a greater share of the
burden in financing underdevel
oped countries.
The President said that the
United States has willingly borne
more burdens than any other coun
try as possessor of the world's
most important currency and chief
banker for international trade.
“But we cannot and should not
bear them all alone," he said.
