 Officially, Dewey went to Springfield, Mass, to attend the Eastern States exposition. Unoffi- cially, the trip threw him in con- tact with COP governors or their close aides from eight eastern sea- board states.
 Elsewhere there were remind CTS that other Republicans regard the race as still wide open. These included:
 l. A declaration by Senator Cap per of Kansas that "all over the United States there are good Americans who look forward to the possibility of helping elect" Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower as President on a Republican ticket.
 2. Predictions by two other COP Senators, Ball of Minnesota and Mccarthy of Wisconsin, that for mer Gov. Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota, the only avowed can didate, will be a serious contender at the convention and that no can didate will win the nomination on the first ballot.

MAYOR DUNBAR ASKS COOPERATION IN CHEST X-RAY

One of the functions of your city government is to make Nome as attractive as possible with a view of encouraging new business concerns to establish themselves here and to keep our present en- terprises satisfied.
 A healthy community is our major objective if we are to be successful in our efforts and we must take steps to prevent dis ease such as tuberculosis from en- dangering the health of our popu- lation. This is a liability which Nome seriously intends to curb.
 Tuberculosis is no respecter of race, creed, color or financial or social status. There is a very def mite danger of infection to our residents if active cases are allow ed to go undetected. Eighty per cent of those having tuberculosis in the early stages are not con- sciouS of being i'll and consequent ly see no reason to consult a phy- sician until the disease has consid- erably advanced. The only certain way such cases can be discovered is by means of an X-ray of the lungs.
 Facilities are now available whereby all residents of a com may be x-rayed rapidly and with a minimum of effort. Such a program will be offered here beginning on or about Sep tember 22nd. It is being sponsored by the Nome Health Council and the Territorial Department of Health. Everyone is eligible and urged to receive a free chest X-ray.
 I earnestly request that every citizen respond most wholeheart- edly to this program, first by hav- ing an x-ray and then by support ing the program among your friends and acquaintances. By so doing, you will not only protect and your family, but will make Nome healthier place in which to live.

 Mayor
