LOYALTY DAY
r>DAY, MAY 1, is Loyalty Day, a day set aside ’'for reaffirma
tion of loyalty to the United States of America and special
recognition of our heritage of America freedoms.”
Federal legislation urges that the people of the United States
observe Loyalty Day with appropriate demonstrations such as the
display of the American flag.
Gov. Wm. Egan states in a proclamation that in the present
year it has "become increasingly evident that Communist inspired
subversive elements continue their efforts to destroy our cherished
freedoms and national unity and such threats to the security of
this nation must be met with effective counter measures and a
solid determination by all loyal citizens to preserve the freedoms
for which many thousands of brave Americans have died in battle.
Churchill Retires from
Active Political Life
LONDON OP — Sir Winston
Churchill today announced that
he is retiring from active political
life after more than 60 years in
Parliament.
In a letter to the Conservative
Party Assn, in the electoral di
vision of Woodford, the British
leader said he will not stand for
re-election. He will be 89 in No
vember.
Churchill last July broke his
hip in a fall while on a vacation
in the south of France. He said
the accident has “greatly decreased
my mobility.”
Sir Winston attended the Royal
Academy Banquet at Burlington
House, London, last night.
In his letter he wrote:
“I need not tell you with what
sadness I feel constrained to take
this step.
“I have now had the honor and
privilege of sitting in the House
of Commons for more than 60
years; for 39 of these I have re
presented the electoral divisions of
Epping and then Woodford.”

Sen. Humphrey Calls
For Embargo on Arms
Shipment to Middle East
WASHINGTON UP> — Sen. Hu
bert Humphrey, (D-Minn.), called
yesterday for an embargo on arms
shipments to the Middle East and
for stronger United Nations peace
keeping operations there.
Humphrey made his proposals in
a Senate speech, as Sen. Jacob
Javits, <R-N.Y.>, sparked biparti
san appeals for U.S. action to head
off possible Arab aggression
against Israel.
Javit’s speech, proposing the
United States ask Britain, France
and other Western nations to join
in a collective defense agreement
with Israel, drew congratulations
from both Republicans and Demo
crats.
Javits said:
“The Soviet Union’s support of
Nasser goes far beyond even the
huge masses of guns, tanks, planes,
submarines and ships that it has
poured into Egypt.
“Because the Kremlin knows
Israel is committed to the free
world ... it will . . use every
opportunity to stir up the Arabs
and support their attacks on
Israel.”
Sen. Eniest Gruening protested
the United States “pours in money
. . . to establish the United Arab
Republic as a . . . police state.”
“Unless the building up of Nas
ser is reversed, we are going to
have a bloody war,” he said.

Bill Burand
Explains Aid
To Prospectors
Bill Burand, District Engineer
for the Department of Mines, re
ported at the Chamber of Com
merce meeting Monday that Shell
Oil Co. were not contemplating
working their offshore leases in
the area this year, but are work
ing out methods of operation for
the 1964 season.
He also explained the aid to
prospectors which is being pro
vided this year. He stated that
prospectors must put up their own
money, do their prospecting and
then file reports on what they
have done before they can be com
pensated for their efforts.
An appropriation of $50,000 was
made to support this program for
one year. The law provides that
the total assistance to a prospector
or party of prospectors may not
be more than $2,000 or $4,000
respectively. From this it can be
seen that a considerable number
of prospectors can be accommo
dated, providing they are quali
fied. Screening boards will review
the qualifications of applicants and
their proposed prospecting work,
and will make recommendations
for approval or disapproval.
The Division of Mines and Min
erals expects a large number of
qualified persons to take advan
tage of this program, and that
some significant mineral discover
ies will result. This could well be
the cause of some new mining
operations in the state.
Copies of the proposed regula
tions are available with Bill Bu
rand and any questions or sug
gestions concerning the use of this
money should be made to him
before the hearing which is being
held in Fairbanks on May 20 and
Anchorage on May 21.
Mrs. Johnnie Reardon, manager
of the Midnight Sun Festival, re
ported on the progress of the an
nual event and expressed apprecia
tion to the Jaycees for their plans
in connection with the Festival
as they have announced that the
annual beard contest is now open
and the raft race will be held
again as well as the big reindeer
barbecue.
Howard Crinklaw, manager of
the Nome Power and Light, re
ported on his interviews with sup
pliers of equipment for the new
power plant as well as for build
ing material. He stated that the
material for the prefabricated
building is expected on the first
boat and contract for the founda
tion is expected to be announced
soon. The units are expected to
be ready for last boat shipment
and power available by November
of this year.
He was pleased with the pros
pects for bonding as he found
that Nome Power and Light had
a very high financial rating and
it is expected that a lower rate
of interest will be obtained be
cause of this rating.
Sen. Pete Walsh gave a con
densed run down on legislation,
particularly of bills concerning this

Exercise Coulee Crest,
Extensive War Games,
Start In Washington State
YAKIMA, Wash. Uf) — Exercise
Coulee Crest, described as the
largest and most extensive war
game ever staged on the West
Coast, started Tuesday on one mil
lion acres in central Washington.
More than 40,000 Army and Air
Force troops will take part. The
battleground stretches from Rich
land on the south to Wenatchee on
the north and from the Columbia
River west to Ellensburg.
Army units include the 4th In
fantry Division from Ft. Lewis
and the 5th Mechanized Infantry
Division from Ft. Carson, Colo.
area.
On road work, he said, the bal
ance of the bridges in the Nome
Teller Road should go in this sea
son and possibly a couple of other
bridges in other areas.
The Arthur Little Co., who two
years ago in their first report on
Alaskan resources omitted north
western Alaska, have included in
this year’s study the reindeer in
dustry for Kotzebue, Nome and
Unalakleet.
Sen. Walsh also noted that
gymnasiums are going in at Tin
City, Romanzof and Cape Lis
burne which would probably mean
more athletic inter-community
next season with these sites such
as was down here last year in
basketball. As bowling alleys are
included, probably there could be
some competition here also.
In conferences with the BIA,
Sen. Walsh stated that it is hope
ful that the planning money ori
ginally appropriated for the BIA
high school in Fairbanks, which
is not being built, can be trans
ferred to Nome for the planning
of the 150 student dormitory and
mess hall for 300 students in con
nection with the vocational school
so that this project can get under
way the spring of 1964.
