Heart Fund Drive to
Get Underway Soon
The Heart Fund Drive for Nome
will begin shortly with coin cans
distributed in various business
houses. Also this year there will be
a mass mail appeal, with each
box holder receiving an envelope
for contributions. Seventy-five per
cent of all funds raised in Alaska
is kept within the state to sup
port the state program and 12Vfe
per cent of the funds forwarded to
the parent organization, American
Heart Assn., and used exclusively
for research which benefits all of
us by providing every new know
ledge and techniques to our doc
tors and medical personnel to com
bat the world’s greatest killer—
heart disease.
The annual heart clinics to which
are brought a team of outstanding
cardiac specialists is presently due
with a major public service and
professional education program.
These are held in Anchorage, Fair
banks and Sitka (Mt. Edgecumbe).
Several Nome patients were ex
amined at the Fairbanks clinic last
year and it is hoped that perhaps
this year at least two of the doctors
can be brought to Nome to hold a
clinic.

he was in “severe weather” some

GOPS Again
Reject Nomination
Of Albert White
JUNEAU OP — The four Repub
licans in the State Senate Tues
day rejected, again, Gov. Wm.
Egan’s nomination of Albert White
to fill the seat left vacant by the
death of Sen. Elton Engstrom.
Rejection came on a unanimous
roll call vote, which Sen. Brad
Phillips, Senate minority leader,
requested “in deference to the idio
syncrasies of the governor.”
Egan told the Senate by letter
Monday he did not believe the Sen
ate followed proper procedure and
informed Senate President Frank
Peratrovich that in his, Egan’s
view, White’s name was still be
fore the Senate.
The letter was referred to the
Rules Committee, which corrected
the Senate Journal for last Fri
day, to remove what was termed
ambiguities in Phillips’ presenta
tion.
After the corrected journal was
approved by the Senate yesterday
morning, and after Rules chair
man Lester Bronson assured the
Senate that the revised account
of what had transpired last Friday
would make the Republican ac
tion proper, Phillips took the floor.
“We feel the action taken by the
Senate on this matter prior to this
time was proper. We also feel
that the rulings of the chair were
fair and proper.
- “However, in deference to the
idiosyncrasies of the governor, I
now ask the president to instruct
a roll call of the four Republican
members of the Senate on Gov.
Egan’s nomination of A1 White.”
The roll call netted four nays,
from Phillips, John Coghill, John
Butrovich and Vance Phillips.
In Magistrate’s Court Frank Kee
lick was given 30 days, having
pleaded guilty to drunk and dis
orderly conduct.

Chamber Told
City Power Needs
Are Now Doubled
“We must double the capacity of
the Nome power plant before the
end of the year,” stated Howard
Crinklaw, manager of the Nome
Light and Power, at the Monday
luncheon of the Chamber of Com
merce, “if we are to meet the
power needs which must be pro
vided.”
Mgr. Crinklaw explained how the
volume of power needs has multi
plied faster than anticipated in the
survey made a year ago and with
the construction of the VORTAC
site, intensity lighting at the air
port, expanded FAA facilities, vo
cational school and other projected
improvements and construction.
The present power plant must be
increased to double its capacity to
fill the known need.
Whether the expansion is done
by construction of a new site, ex
pansion of present site, or other
plan, the fact remains that unless
something is completed by the end
I of the year the Nome Power and
Light Utility will be renting a unit
to fill the void which will be cost
ly.
The city has approved the appli
cation to HHFA for preliminary
and final planning money and it
is hoped that the application will
be acted upon immediately as an
emergency exists in power needs.
Nome Airport
Acting chairman for the Cham
ber, Bob Harwood, read a letter
from Sen. Pearse Walsh urging the
Chamber to work toward having
the military to assume responsi
bility of the Nome Airport which
FAA is asking the City of Nome
to take over. Walsh stated that
neither the state nor the city of
Nome can handle the Nome field
which is the only major airport in
Northwest Alaska and is a good
alternate field for the military
as has been proven and which
they use daily with their C-123’s
in supplying the AC & W sites.
He further stated that the city
of Nome or the state could not
begin to operate the facility to the
degree that would be needed to
serve the airlines or the military.
Jeanette Amundsen, Junior Miss
of Nome who was runner up at
the state contest, accompanied by
her father, Rev. Roald Amundsen,
were guests of the Chamber as well
as Miss Gisela Trustad, physio
therapist who came as a guest of
Rev. and Mrs. R. Wilson.
$2.9 Million for Dormitory
Mayor Don Hoover received a
phone call during the meeting from
Sen. Walsh, who stated that the
BIA in a recent meeting in Ari
zona, recommended in their bud
get $2,900,000 for the construction
of a dormitory to house 150 per
sons and kitchen facilities for 300
persons at the Nome Vocational
School site with scheduled con
struction to start in 1964.

Ike Ignored Critics
Of His Golf Playing
NEW YORK U& — Former Presi
dent Dwight Eisenhower says he
paid not the slightest attention to
criticism of the time he spent play
ing golf or going fishing or daub
ing with paints.
Appearing with historian Bruce
Catton in an NBC television pro
gram recorded at Eisenhower’s
Gettysburg, Pa., home on the sub
ject of President Lincoln, Eisen
hower said: “I think the worst
possible President would be one
who always just stayed as his
desk.”
Catton remarked that during the
Civil War, Lincoln was criticized
for allegedly spending too much
time telling funny stories and going
to the theater.
Eisenhower agreed with Catton
that Lincoln needed relaxation of
some sort.
“The first thing that any man
learns when he has to carry heavy
responsibilities a long time, he has
to learn those points and that type
of decision that demand his ear
nest attention and sometimes pre
paration,” Eisenhower commented.
“And the others he has to learn
to avoid. He is no executive until
he can delegate those to people and
stand behind them.”
Referring to criticism of his own
leisure pursuits, Eisenhower said:
“I paid not the slightest attention
to it. As a matter of fact, I stopped
reading that kind of thing. It didn’t
bother me for this simple reason:
To be in condition — to do the
things I needed to do — I just
couldn’t sit at the desk all the
time.”

little of it while we were young.

Rusk Terms Soviet and
Red China Feud Is
Good Sign for Future
WASHINGTON lift — Secretary
of State Dean Rusk views the Red
China-Soviet feuding as a “cause
for encouragement about the fu
ture of freedom.”
But he stressed that Communist
threats remain serious and may
increase in the months ahead.
Rusk gave his appraisal in an
interview on national educational
television in which three aides
joined him in perhaps the State
Department’s most extensive pub
lic examination of the philosophi
cal tug of war in the Communist
camp.
The row between Moscow and
Peking, Rusk declared, proves that
Communism — and not capitalism,
as the Communist contend—“con
tains within itself the seeds of its
own decay.”
With Rusk on the program were
U. Alexis Johnson, Deputy Under
secretary for political affairs; W.
Averell Harrimon, Asst. Secretary
for Far Eastern Affairs; and Roger
Hillsman, the department’s intelli
gence director.
