Report of Board Of Education

The Board of Education of Nome, Alaska, wish to report to the taxpayers in what manner their money is being spent in re- .spect to the Public School. We herewith submit report as to the needs, work done, conditions dis covered and moneys spent this past summer and early fall.
 The General Electric boilers have proved very unsatisfactory for building the size of the school. We felt very fortunate when the army of Marks Air Force Base donated two KeWanee boil CTS to the Nome Public School. A contract was let by the city coun- cil for the installing of the same. This was awarded to C. B. Hynd- man for $33OO.OO, work to include:
 l. Opening in west wall, not less than 50" clearance and to be made permanent by a door.
 2. Removing of rafter over the boilers to give sufficient height and for fine protection.
 3. Removal of oil storage tank to outside, to be connected with 100 gal. capacity tank inside-much safer in case of fire.
 4. Lengthening and widening of the concrete base for boilers.

 The Italian government is fac ing a political crisis today follow ing the Walkout of three anti-cOm- munist Socialist cabinet ministers.
 Those resigning were vice Pre- mier Giuseppe Saragat, leader of the Italian Socialist Labor party PSLD and two other party mem berS.
 They left the coalition cabinet of Premier Alcide de Gasperi be- cause of a bitter row within the Moderate Socialist ranks.
 Premier de Gasperi said he would attempt to persuade the three to return to his government. He seemed certain to continue as leader of any reshuffled cabinet since his Christian Democrat party won a heavy majority in the 1948 elections.
 At Lake Success, a special United Nations group began final izing its recommendations on the future of Italy's preWar African colonies.
 The committee has agreed upon independence for Libia by 1852, and for Italian Somaliland by 1859. It recommends that five nation committee of inquiry go to Erotrea to report on the situation there.

FAIRBANKS, (P) - Dozens of prOSpectorS, undaunted by snow and an adverse assay report, dug in at FishWheel gold boom camp on the frozen Yukon River to sink their prospect holes to bedrock. .
 Their determination to chance their luck on the Yukon flats 165 miles northeast of here was re- ported by a number of the gold seekers who returned by plane from FiShWheel.
 Most of the 100 or more men re- maining were said to be old time prospectors. The rest were de- scribed as enthusiastic tender feet" Their common creed, how ever, was that "nothing's proved until you scrape bed rock"
 To speed up the job of reaching bed rock, prospect boilers and core drills will be flown to the scene from Fairbanks this week. They are expected to bring final proof in a fortnight or more Whe-

Educating Communists

The Atomic Energy Commission is going
to be hard pressed to convince the public
that it is justified in using any OF its funds
TO educate known Communists
In the disclosures which have been made
on Capitol Hill, there is nothing TO indicate
that the Commissions refusal TO investi-
gate applicants for the fellowship awards
which 1t finances has resulted In any
breach of security. And Chairman Llien-
thai says that an applicant would be in
vestigated II he wanted to study in any
restricted field.
But this Is not going to satisfy the tax
payer. 1t Is true. as Mr.. Lilienthal points
out, that public funds are used in variety
OF ways to help educational institutions
which are not expected to exclude Com
munists from their student bodies. In q
sense, the taxpayers are footing the bill
in part for the education of those Com
munists. But the parallel is not very close.
For in the case of the fellowships now in
dispute, the Atomic Energy Commission,
acting through the National Research
Council, selects the recipients of the
awards The fellowship boards which
screen the applicants are supposed to be
satisfied that those selected show scientific
promise and are of good moral character.
1t will be hard to convince most people
that an avowed and active Communist
meets these specifications. For In New York
the Government is trying to prove that
the Communist Party Is a criminal con-
spiracy against the United States. And
the President has decreed that no Com
munist may work for the Federal Gov
ernment because it is assumed that he
would be disloyal to this country
In this situation 1t seems ridiculous for
the commission to use Federal funds to
educate Communists in fields related to
atomic energy. Presumably the purpose,
or at least one purpose. is to create a
pool Of trained scientists who may be
drawn upon in the future for employment
in restricted fields. II this Is so, what Is
the sense in spending money to train
some one who could not qualify If and
when he is needed for restricted work?

No Excuse Left

The question of when Washington is to
make start on slum clearance and re-
development Is strictly one for congress
sional determination now. There is no
excuse for further delay in appropriating
funds to implement the 1916 Redevelop-
ment Act. The last technical reason for
postponement has been removed with GER
tiflcation of the Marshall Heights project
to the District Redevelopment Land
Agency.
Congress can get the program started
with an impressive flourish by supplying
promptly the 900 needed for the
uch-discussed housing project at Mar
shall Heights This Is an old, ill-planned
community in the eastern corner of the
District. It Is q perfect setup for redevel-
opment, according to all who have in
spected it. All that is needed to get the
project under way is money.
But Congress up to now has evidenced
q reluctance to grant the District Land
Redevelopment Agency sufficient funds
even to maintain an Office. Some of the
necessary preliminary planning has been
held up by lack of money. This failure to
supply small appropriations for prepara-
tory administrative and planning work
has given rise to doubts as to the future
of the whole redevelopment program. If
Congress really intends to have the Re-
development Agency carry out the job for
which it was created, the opportunity to
show It's good faith is at hand. Congress
has authorized the agency to spend $20,-
100000 on slum clearance and redevelop-
ment. An initial grant of So 100000 under
that authorization will start things moving
at Marshall Heights, thereby launching
housing experiment that will be watched
