YOUR Vote . . .
DON'T UNDERESTIMATE the value of YOUR vote. One
vote can win or lose the long sought sanitary system. It
happened in Fairbanks about ten years ago on the same issue that
Nome is voting on and lost by one vote. It can happen here too.
The Chamber of Commerce is made up of leaders in the
business of Nome; the Jaycees is made up of a cross section of the
younger civic-minded leaders; the Lions Club is a selected civic
minded organization; the Parent Teachers Assn., a mixture of
parents and teachers and homemakers; Home Arts Club, leading
civic women’s club. Both present City Council and past Councils
are elected representatives of the community. All of these people
have gone on record as favoring the passage of the water and
sewage system because they know it is feasible and because they
know it is needed.
These groups have each in their own way tried to explain
the benefits to be derived from the system and what it means
to ALL the people in the community whether they are on the
primary section or in the planning for the extensions. These
groups collectively or individually have tried to answer all ques
tions that have arisen concerning the system.
When you vote YES, you are thinking of the health of your
children, the economic growth of the place you call home. You
are inviting industry, encouraging industrial development, all of
which mean jobs and a better way of life. New industry means
better homes fos those whose present homes are not suitable for
the improvement when it becomes available.
The project pays for itself as it is used, so it is not a burden
to taxpayers.
We urge YOU to vote favorable on the measure.

Communist China
Reported to Have
2 Nuclear Bombs
TOKYO LTi — Kenjiro Shiga, Di
rector of the Japan Defense Agen
cy, has been informed that Com
munist China now possesses two
nucler bombs, an agency spokes
man said Saturday. But, he added,
it will take time for the Red Chi
nese to make practical use of their
nuclear weapons.
The subject of Chinese Commu
nist atomic bombs was brought
up at a briefing of high-ranking
defense officials and discussed at
the U.S.-Japan Security Consul
tative Committee meeting.
The spokesman said Shiga told
Defense Agency officials Commu:
nist China is expected to explode
a nuclear device this year. Accord
ing to information reaching his
desk, Shiga added, it will take Red
China at least 10 years to arm itself
with nuclear weapons even though
successful in atomic experiments.
Although it will take time for
Red China to make practical use of
their nuclear weapons, Shiga was
quoted by the spokesman as say
ing, “the mere fact that they ex
plode atomic devices will have a
strong psychological impact on the
world.”
Experts believe Communist China
may touch off a crude, experiment
al device within two years to be
come the fifth member of the
Atomic Club. The other members
are, the United States, England,
France and the Soviet Union.
Red Chinese Air Force
Strength Estimated At
2.000 To 3,000 Jet Planes
MANILA iff) — A Chinese Com
munist pilot who defected to Na
tionalist China last March esti
mated Saturday that Communist
Chinese air strength is 2,000 to
3.000 jet planes.
But. Lt. Liu Cheng-Sze told
newsmen this force is still not
enough to attack the Nationalist
Formosa stronghold.
He explained that many of these
planes must be deployed elsewhere
within Red China.
Liu said Red China has only
about 1,000 combat-ready pilots.
About 4,000 pilots have been
trained, but their proficiency is
generally poor and their moral
low, he added.
Liu said most of the Red Chinese
jets are old, Russian-built Mig 15’s,
but there are some Mig 17’s and a
few Mig 19’s.

hrushchev Calls On Red China
For a Cease-Fire Political Battle
By Preston Grover
MOSCOW (j*P>—Premier Khrush
chev, caught in a two-front po
litical battle on both sides of the
Iron Curtain, last week asked Red
China for a public cease-fire.
For Khrushchev, it represented
his second turn-back in three
months.
The first was the rocket pull-out
from Cuba.
The second was his suggestion
last week in a speech to the Berlin
Party Congress, after some harsh
words thrown at the Red Chineses,
that struggles within the Commu
nist camp be argued out behind
closed doors. China had suggested
such a course from the beginning.
Even if the battle is kept be
hind closed doors, many observers
feel Khrushchev will avoid a world
wide party showdown with the Red
Chinese.
For burying the battle won’t
bury the problem for the Soviet
Premier. In his policy of peaceful
coexistence he has committed his
country to avoid open war with
the United States. This involved a
reversal in Cuba and many be
lieve it is prompting a more cau
tious tone in the dispute over
Germany and Berlin.
Yet every gesture Khrushchev
makes toward easing the tension
between the Soviet Union and the
United States increases the diffi
culty with Red China. In the
Cuban affair, Peking accused
Khrushchev of backing away from
a “paper tiger.”
The Chinese spokesman in Ber
lin, W Shiu-Chuan, left no doubts
of his country’s attitude when he
accused Russia, indirectly, of “act
ing as a special detachment of
U.S. imperialism for carrying out
its counter-revolutionary global
strategy.”
When the selected list of dele
gates to the Berlin Congress shout
ed down the Peking spokesman in
Berlin, a good many of them must
have known that they were also
shouting down a tough line in Ber
lin.
Western diplomats feel that
Khrushchev has the good sense of
the argument. But at the same time
many of them feel that in a Marx
ist-Leninist dialectical argument,
such as would develop at a world
Communist Congress, he might not
come out so well.
For that reason they don’t ex
pect such a big scale congress
soon, although clearly China
would like it. Instead, the battle
may bo fought out by means of
letters, as often in the past, the
Soviet Union has her way. These
might wait a long time for publi
cation.
A public cease-fire was proposed
by Red China’s Premier En-Lai
at the Soviet Party Congress in
October 1961, when the battle was
opened publicly.
Khrushchev at that time opened
the attack on China, as usual by
using Albania as the cueball—de
nouncing China as dogmatist and
out of touch with nuclear warfare.
Chou En-Lai, probably No. 2 in
the Chinese party hierarchy, sat
vith folded hands during the
speech while other delegates ap
plauded Khrushchev happily.
Chou didn’t answer the argu
ment in detail in Moscow. He said
such fights between fraternal
parties should be conducted be
hind closed doors. But Khrushchev
persisted and the fight blew
hot, revealing to the grinning West
the split in the Communist camp.
Last week it was Khrushchev’s
turn to suggest keeping the fight
behind closed doors. A two-front
battle has never been good for any
country, and it doesn’t appear to
be good for Khrushchev and the
Soviet image he is trying to pre
sent to the uncommited nations of
the world.
