CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSES STREETS

The Common Council of the City of Nome met Monday evening in the City Hall for regular business. Several visitors Weer present.
 The main topic under discussion was the quality of gravel placed on the streets the past week. The street committee stated that the plan was to put the coarse materi- al as fill for the fall and to put crushed rock for surfacing in the spring.
 H. F. Harper of the Nome Motor Company requested the committee to forego putting any of the big rocks around the streets adjacent to the garage, and stated he had been graveling the area for the past several years and would con- tinue to do so.
 Ben Mozee stated that Kings Way between Spokane and Divi- sion streets should be filled and made passable for at least the service vehicles such as scavenger, oil, water and grocery deliveries. The homes in the area are inac- l cessible at times because of the soft tundra and marshy ground. The council voted to consider the fill and gravel a portion of the street, at least for one-way travel. Applications for the office of Chief of Police of the City of Nome were read and tabled for a week
 It was decided that the City take a hand in petitioning for a last boat of this season for Nome's winter supplies and send tele- grams to the proper authorities.

Old Age Pensions Receive Boost

Persons receiving old age assist ance are receiving increases in grants this month, according to a recent announcement by Director, Russel C.. Maynard of the public welfare department following ap- proval by the board.
 Availability of increased federal participation and Territorial bal anceS made possible the return to former standards of making grants. Tn spite of the foregoing, there is little likelihood of much of an in crease in the present CaSeload of 14OO grants for the balance of the biennium ending March 31, 1949.
 MT. Maynard stated that while additional federal funds were available in the aid to dependent children program, the department cannot increase the average amount of grant per child because the l947 appropriation was so far below the amount needed for the biennium.
 He revealed that there were 130 families including 332 children, who were eligible but could not be certified for payment because of lack of the necessary funds.
 Since April, 1947, MT. Maynard reported, 900 cases involving about 1900 persons have been denied general relief services and in many cases even emergency hospitaliza- ton or medical care because of in- sufficient funds.
 Local community groups, fra ternal orders, Red Cross Chapters, Salvation Army units, etc, have aided immensely in attempting to meet emergency needs but their | limited resources are in no way sufficient to meet the overall de- mand," said Maynard. He an- nOunced that the board of public welfare would meet sometime this fall to prepare report to the leg iSlature meeting in January, l949, with estimates of funds to be re- ouired during the next biennium.

The COP Defense Plank
lNeW York Times


 The plank on national defense in the Republican platform is one on which most Americans could stand The question is whether several of the Republican leaders especially in the House, can say as much
 The platform says that we (the Republicans pro- pose the maintenance of Armed Services for air land and sea to a degree which will insure national security and the achievement of effective unity in the Department of National Defense so as to insure maximum economy in money and manpower and maximum effectiveness in case of war. We favor sustained effective action to procure sufficient power for the services recognizing the Amerscan prn cpe that every citizens has an obligation of service to his country"
 by different persons and groups But if read the last phrase correctly it means that the Republican platform favors Selective Service as the proper ef fective action to secure sufficient manpower for the services" and not the setting up of bonuses to stimu late recruiting or the enlistment of aliens, both of which were proposed by Republican leaders a substitute for the draft Senator Lodge who headed the Platform Committee, wished to enlist aliens to meet part of the manpower need. Representative Allen Chairman of the House Rules Committee that bottled up the draft bill for weeks resulting in the hectic laSt-minue scramble in Washington, wanted to buy an Army with dollars. When the shoWdoWn came in the House cff the weakened Seectve Service bill that was finally approved 1o3 Republicans voted no" Among them were Representative Allen, one of the House leaders and Representative Dewey Short of Missouri who will become Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee next January if the Re- publicans win in November and Representative An- drews of New York holds to his decision to retire from Congress.
 It will be up to the Republican Presidential nominee to make clear during the campaign his inter pretation of the defense plank of the platform and to promise that if he is elected he will his n to keep the Republican followers in line On that vital issue there should be no ambiguity.

PARTY PLATFORMS MADE

The Democratic and Republican platforms have been made and both before the public and the question is what they worth?
 recent Gallup Poll revealed that only small percentage of voters read presidential party plat forms or remember what is in them, pay much Intention to them
 Polls reveal the average Democratic voter and the average Republican voter shows marked difference of attitude such public matters the draft, Rus sia the Marshall Plan Federal aid to education, re- ciprocal trade agreements the TaftHartley Act gov ernment ownership, the United Nations, the oleo- margarine tax, social security. There are some differences on civil rights, the wisdom of re- introducing price controls and the question whether income taxes are high. But these differences are not great.
 The original idea of the presidential party plat form forth clearly, and boldly the principles and policies for which the party stood But voters nowadays have apparently come to the conclusion that platforms usually catchalls, promising

Only a Matter of Minutes
Seattle Times)

It hy brief an interval of time as seven minutes that measure wls sch would have launched the Alaska British Columbia railroad project lost it's opportunity for adoption in the 80th Congress.
 The last official act of the Senate before it ad- journed was to adopt a resolution, introduced by Senator Magnuson (D) of Washington and Senator Butler (R) of Nebraska favorng the Alaska rail link The resolution rushed to the House of Representatives approval It had strong support there, but the House had adjourned seven minutes earlier.
 Senators Magnuson and Butler also had introduced a bill in the Senate authorizing appropriation of funds for the initial steps preliminary to actual construction of the Alaska railroad. This bill remained in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
 The encouraging feature of all this is that never before has this ong-desired project approached as close as this to realization The project is defi nitey before the American people In the Pacific Northwest it will be part to sell' the idea of rail line to Alaska to the nation before Congress conVeneS
