Gambell Airstrip Will Land DC-3s: May Get Tourists

ANCHORAGE, Building an airstrip at Gamben, on St. Law renee Island in the Boring Sea, is going to be a transplanting job.
 Tony Schwamm, territorial avi- ation director, said the 1000 tons of steel mating for the strip will be shipped by barge from Teller, north of Nome, where an airstrip is being dismantled. /
 The steel mating will be an chored down to prevent the Der ing Seas high winds from rolling it up.
 x Schwamm said construction will be started about June l and should be finished within six to seven weeks.
 Gambell is about 200 miles west of Nome on the most distant tip of the island.
 Its only regular air service has been in the winter, when Alaska Airlines planes could land on the ice. The new 3,5O0-foot airstrip will allow pcs landings, and pro- motion of summer tourist traffic to the island is viewed as pos sibility.

Eisenhower Says Something Obviously Wrong In Korea Prisoner Exchanges,
 Judging From Reports of Atrocities

WASHINGTON, R- President Eisenhower said Thursday he is ready to do anything and confer anywhere to bring about peace in Korea.
 The President told a news con- ference, however, that like every one else he is simply waiting now to see how developments go in Korea.
 His statements were in response to question as to whether he felt the chances are good for a prompt truce in Korea.
 In reply to another question, the President said he has had no reaction from the Kremhn to the world peace and disarmament plan he set forth a week ago.
 He said the government is studying and analyzing the pris- oner exchange situation, and that obviously, from news stories of atrocities, something is wrong.
 He added that he as yet has no full and complete report on the matter and so can't determine what the actual facts are.
 On other matters, the President:

TT WORKS BOTH WAYS

 The solid assumption back of any, civil service system is that the great bulk of government jobs have no concern with partisan policies and politics and that the people who fill them most efficiently and honestly if they left undisturbed by shifts in political poWer build careers professional technical merit
 In fact it might be said that no real career service be built unless the ideals and purposes back of 1t have support strong enough to weather both official abuses and changes in administration.
 During the Roosevet-Truman regimes almost all postrnasterships placed under civil service Re- publicans charging that somehow there always one Democrat among the top three the list of eig bes presented for every vacancy and that the Demo- crat always got the ob No doubt there is considerable truth in this. Whatever there is represents misuse of the system And no doubt many less than meritor ious appointments made

Get Tough" Policy To Bawdy House Women Decreed in Anchorage

ANCHORAGE, R-U.S. Attor- ney Seaborn J. Buckalew has de- creed a 'get tough" policy toward bawdy house women in the An chorage area.
 He said the era of suspended sentences is on the way out, and prostitution cases will be taken into US. district court instead of before a US. commissioner. He said jail terms of six months to year will be recommended.
 Buckalew said the new policy will be aimed against an increas- ing crime rate. "We have so many complaints of people being rolled after visit to one of the bawdy houses, or of being offered narcot- ics in these places," he said, "that something has to be done"
 He estimated there are close to 200 prostitutes in the Anchorage area, most of them outside the city.

l salute the parents and teachers of j.
P. Burley for the organization of a local
Parent-Teachers'S Association.
Every school needs PTA, and / hope
that Burley will have one of the best in this
section. Burley has eXcelled in many under
takings and l know that she will not be lack
ing when it comes to this organization.
The Parent and Teachers Association is
just as essential to school as the Student
Council and the Guidance Department. They
all work toward the main goal of maintain
ing worthwhile school for the future gene
rations of America.
Another advantage of this organization
is that it brings the home closer to the
school, something which is definite neces-
sity. The parents, once organized, can fight
for what they want for their children; for
example, changes in curriculum and better
school facilities
1, therefore, commend the parents and
teachers for the wonderful work they are
beginning.
