I Presents Honorary Degree
To Gen. Jimmy Doolittle
Early in this century a small boy
named Jimmy Doolittle attended a
grammer school in Nome. Monday
James H. Doolittle returned to this
state to receive the honorary de
gree of Doctor of Laws from the
University of Alaska.
The world-famous aviator was
warmly greeted by an audience of
about a thousand at the 41st an
nual commencement at the Uni
versity of Alaska. He saluted the
graduates and reminisced about
his childhood in Nome, where “I
earned my first silver dollar deliv
ering copies of the Nome Nugget.”
“I left Nome in 1908 and didn’t
return until 1948, 40 years later,”
he said. “I was amazed at how in
accurate my recollections of the
area had become. It was a power
full illustration of the fallibility of
the human memory.”
Lt. Gen. Doolittle (retired) re
ceived a degree that cited “his ex
traordinary accomplishment in the
service of the nation and his un
derstanding and interest in the
problems of Alaska.”
In accepting the honorary de
gree he added to a lengthy col
lection of honors and citations pre
sented to him by universities,
congress, and seven foreign na
tions. These include the Congres
sional Medal of Honor, the Distin
guished Service Medal with Oak
Leaf Cluster, the Silver Star,
Knight Commander: Order of the
Bath (British), and Grand Officer
de le Legion d’Honneur (French).
“The Soviet threat is unchanged
and very real,” said Gen. Doolit
tle. “However, it is not—as long'
as we continue to recognize it—
the primary danger to our nation.
This is because it is visible and
because we have already met it
successfully in places like Berlin
and Korea. The greatest danger—
and the answer to the Soviel
threat—is within ourselves.”
He spoke of Alaska as “the un
easy frontier between East and
I Phone Malfunction . . .
SAN FRANCISCO Cfl — John
Nasternak hopes the local call he
tried to make from his own tele
phone Friday night won’t cost him
a fortune.
“I found I was talking to some
one in Atlanta, Ga.,” Nasternak
said of his first attempt.
He hung up, waited, then tried
again.
“It was Cleveland, Ohio.”
For 45 minutes afterward, Nas
ternak and his friend, Wayne
Loving, tried to make the local
call.
They got operators and persons
trying to make direct-dial long
distance calls in New York; Salt
Lake City, Utah; Anaheim, Calif.;
somewhere in British Columbia,
Canada; and South Dakota.
Nasternak attempted unsuccess
fully to get a local operator. Fin
ally, he went next door and com
pleted his call.
The phone company’s explana
tion for the trouble: A malfunction.
SHORT TERMER . . .
EUREKA, Calif. <*» — When jail
er Tom MacDonald came around to
Robert Robideau’s cell in the Hum
bolt County Jail on Sunday and
said, “Your time’s up. You can go
now,” he got a speedy response.
Robideau was dressed in an in
stant and checked out in the wink
of an eye.
It wasn’t until later in the day
MacDonald recollected that the 25
year-old Yuroc Indian still had
over four months to serve for his
petty theft conviction. Robideau
was sentenced on April 8 to serve
180 days.

West.” But he explained that the
usual frontier stereotype of sim
plicity, primitiveness, and isola
tion do not apply to Alaska. ‘The
word frontier, rather, belongs to
the quality of people who have
come here to live and work and
accept the dangers and the chal
lenges this area has had thrust
upon it.”
