Saralie Bodge as the nurse, the only un-masculine note, entered and eXited as a ray of light, an un- derstanding person. adding con- siderable to the stature of the play.
 Company Outstanding
 This closing play is great con- trast to anything yet offered at the Litchdeld Playhouse. The con- census among the theater-g -goers in that town and the visiting folks has been that the company far exceeds many that spend a few weeks in the summer presenting a repertory of varied plays, some good, others not so good.
 Litchfeld played to capacity each week, and there was satisfaction in seeing quite a mixture in dramatic fare, The Little Foxes" Rope" |" "Winterset," The Curtain Rises ' "The Philadelphia Story" and so on. NM.

 A Foreign Office spokesman con- firmed an invitation to Arab League Secretary General Azzam Pasha. however, not as representative of the Arab League but as a dis tinguished person"
 He said Azzam would take a full part" in the conference discussions.
 Officials insisted there was still no official decision on the Palestine Arab demand that the Multi be in- vited to the conference.
 Nor was there any decision on the Jewish Agency demand for the release of agency members interned in Palestine for alleged terrorism.
 Government sources confirmed to- day reports that the United States had decided not to send observers to the conference.

Late Hogan Clark Played Part in BAG. Activities

ing toward the center when the brakes refused to hold and the car got beyond his control. "Ho- gan wiry, and athletic, slipped out of the vestibule, and landed face downward on the stony pave ment. The car sped on, from point near Elizabeth Street. It made the turn, all right, and continued on until it reached the switch near the junction of Grove Street. There, it crashed into standing trolley after the motor man had left few moments be- fore to telephone for instructions; no passengers were aboard. The only damage was to the trolley cars.
 Say, Hogan" said Supt. Wales, why did you desert the ship"
 Desert" answered Hogan it was the only thing I could do; the brakes wouldn't hold; besides, the only damage it to the trolley car; you can replace that, but there's only one Hogan Clark, and he had to look out for himself"
 Supt. Wales, after viewing the situation, and looking over the reports, decided that Hogan" was right and did exactly as he would have done himself, under the cir cumStances.
 Had Appealing Personality
 Hogan" Clark of late years lived Out East in the Manor Ave nue section, commonly called "Welton's Lots" by the old Out Easters of years ago. The section grew up into little family group, in that all of the residents be- came personally acquainted. and good and friendly relations eX- isted among them all. The happy and friendly manner of Hogan" was evident from the start; in all of his years, his appealing person. ality made loyal and everlasting friendships. There was never dull moment when he was around; he always seemed to be able to arouse even the most gloomy from a world of sadness and remorse into an atmosphere of peace and comfort. Troubles were secondary, and seldom was his mind bother ed. He was really a cure to many, We think, in our examination of him through the years, and of our knowledge of him.
 Never fault finder on the con- trary, a cheery and gracious per son, his presence in the company of others made the party indeed a pleasant and joyful affair.
 A person like Hogan" Clark, we feel, will enter the new world just like he carried on here, with a smile and a good word for every one, all part of a credit that will be allotted to him by the proper judges, who really have the say as to what will becomes of us in the Hereafter.
 Works On Earth
 Prayers here and there amount to little, we think, on Judgement Day, unless our works on Earth have been fruitful
 It is what we are, what we have done, and the good of it all that actually counts. Life's fakers had best beware. -:
 "Hogan's" merry life will, we think be a great asset to him in the final analysis.

ScoIIions, Onions In High Fovor
MIRIAM WEINRIB Waterbury Nutrition Council

VdtcTDuTy NutrlClOn OOunC1
 What is there about an onion that is so desirable? What is it that comments it to you and your neigh Dor? How come so many victory gardens were dedicated to host of scallions, swaying and bending in the breeze?
 The answer is the same .. there is flavor in an onion. And there's nothing that can pinch-hit for its special kind of flavor. It has tang that can spike the most prozaic dish. Whip up an omelette, and what do you have? You have an omelette. But mince an onion into it .. and you have a thing apart.
 To determine good onion you don't have to be "pincher". Good quality is judged by looking. If onions are bright, clean, hard, we'll shaped, dry-skinned .. that's your onion. If, however, they seem moist around the neck, decay is setting in. The outer scales or the scales in the center of the bulb are the first to go. If they have strange shapes, known as splits or doubles and bot tie necks, don't reject them. De- formities are only objectionable if they cause waste.
 AS for storage, the soundest ad- wise if you don't have a dry, cool, dark corner, just buy the amount you need at the moment. Otherwise they might grow whiskers and go soft in the middle.

As a candidate for reelection to the Territorial Senate on the Democratic ticket, I find myself compelled to answer and refute the base and malicious charges which have been circulated against me throughout this Divi- sion recently, in an effort to de- feat me for reelection I particu- larly refer to circular letter 1 written on stationery of the Grand Camp of Alaska Native Brother hood, over the signature of one William L. Paul, Jr., who signs himself as secretary of that organ izatiOn.
 MT. Paul tells you that I voted against the so-called Equal Rights" bill and should therefore be defeated. You already knew that l voted against the bill. I never denied it. But MT. Paul goes further and states that in the dis CuSSiOn of the bill in the Senate l condemned Indians, Aleuts and ESkimOs as being no good because they stink, smell of seal oil and should not be allowed to enter places where white people gather" ," This is a deliberate lie on the part of MT. Paul. I never made that statement.
 It is true that I opposed the bill as originally introduced and con- tended then, as I do now, that the main purpose of the bill was not to benefit the natives, but was in tended to promote the interests of interruptions politicians, who prey upon those innocent people for their own political aggrandize- ment.
 I offered an amendment to the bill which would reserve the right of the proprietor or manager of any hotel, restaurant or other public place of business, to reject any person, whose company might endanger the health of others, through the spread of communi- cable disease; or any person of unclean habits; habitual drunk ards who might cause annoyance to others. Specifically providing that there should be no distinction of race. creed or color. This amendment was voted down, and then voted against the original bill.
 The second statement by MT. Pau, is to the effect that during the discussion of the Wolf Bounty
The Nome nugget., 1946-04-29

bill l stated that white men should receive $5O.00 but that this amount was way too much for In oienS, Aleuts and Eskimos." This Is another deliberate lie, manu- factured out of whole cloth. I never made such statement.
 During my l3 years of continu- ous residence in Nome and vicin- ity, l have, perhaps, contacted as many of cur native people as any person in the Territory. I have flown into every village from Hooper Bay to Barrow, and all along the Yukon. I have had lots of business with the natives, and I challenge MT. Paul or any other man to prove that I ever discrim- mated against them in any way. l have employed them both in my airplane business and mining and l have yet to have one single complaint.
 l contended on inc floor of the Senate during the discussion of the LIll in question, that our Els kirnO people were a fine honest, law abiding race and should not be used tO promote tFe interests of selt. seeking politicians, which was what this bill was intended to do. l Contended further that if the so-called Equal Rights" bill passed in it's original form it would create race hatred and ami moSities between the native peo- pie and the whites which did not then exist, and which Alaska never knew up to this time This is exactly what it is leading to today.
 Who is William Paul, Jr.? Who is this great political mentor who Ia dlICillPClllS IO ISll IlIC pCOplt Ol the Second Division who to vote for, and, who to destroy politically in this Division? Who is this great statesman, or should I say dicta- tor, who by remote control from his swivel chair at a comfortable desk in Juneau attempts to dic- tate to the citizens of the Second Division as 70 who shall represent them in the Territorial Legisla- ture? He is tke paid secretary of the Alaska Native Brotherhood, residing at Juneau, 1900 miles from here.
 ask, you, citizens of the Sec- ond Division, do you feel compe- tent to exercise your right of franchise and vote for candidates of your own choosing, without in-

struction from Juneau, from MT. Paul: If you do land I believe you dol then you should indig- nantly resent such dictation and advise MT. Paul accordingly.
 At this point, 1 would like to ask the native people a question. It is this; what advantages did the Equal Rights" bring you in the last year since it became law? Not one iota. You had every right of citizenship enjoyed by the white man. The Federal Government gave you free transportation, medical care and disqualification relief when necessary, in the way of food and clothing; free hunting and fishing licenses, etc. These are decided advantages over those en- joyed by the white people. We do not, and never did, object to you receiving such consideration. But we wonder how long the Federal Government will continue to give you those free advantages. Did you ever stop 70 tnlnk, that some day, perhaps in the not too distant future, the Government might, due to all the political propagan- da brought about by the so-called Equal Rights" bill, withdraw those privileges you now enjoy of free transportation, medical, hos pitalization, etc. l wonder what the politicians and MT. Paul, will do for you if this should happen?
 cannot help calling your atten- tion also to MT. Paul's condemna- tion of Senator Scott and Repre- sentative Walsh in that circular of his. We'll, you know those men, they need no defense from me. They voted their convictions sin cerely and conscientiously. And again, they never said an unkind or unclean word about the natives when discussing the Equal Rights" bill. MT. Paul again de- liberately lies when he alleges that they did.
 When you go to the polls on the 30th of this month, vote for the candidates of your own choosing. Use your intelligence and free will to select those whom you wish to represent you. Judge them according to your own lights and convictions. This is your Division; do not submit to dictation from Juneau, Ketchikan or Sitka. Re fuse to be coerced; mud-slinging, lies, name calling never won an argument. Neither will it win this election.
