Hy JAMES NARROW

WASHINGTON R-N0 one could
in fairness expect President Eisen-
hover, in his less than three
months in office, to produce any
sensations in the cold war with
Russia or the hot war in Korea.
He has produced none, and can
point TO some obvious reasons. In
Korea, for instance, where the
troops have been tied down by
winter, the warmer weather which
permits larger mdneuver is only
just arriving.
The Communists could forestall
lany bold plans the President has,
| if he has any, by demonstrating
they seriously want peace and hon
estly agreeing 10 settlements in
Korea and elsewhere.
No doubt they could forestall him
for months or longer BY pretending
TO want settlements. He would want
10 exhaust every reasonable means
before going further. That may be
one of their reasons for talking
peace now.
But if the Communists play it
phony it's anybody's guess who the
winner win be. BY pretending
peace is close and possible they
| might kid the Allies into slowing
down ornaments while they built
up their own strength.
But If the Communists lost their
own momentum during prolonged
discussions while the Allies kept
on arming, no matter how close
peace seemed, the West might
have the edge.
Eisenhower has not taken any
publicly known steps which are
bagically different from the stra.
tegy and programs laid down in
the Truman.Acheson contain
I1ent" policy so roundly criticized
BY Republicans in the campaign.
But Secretary Of State Dulles

And last night, when asked what
he was aiming al in his demands,
he said: "The purpose Is 20 find''
for the policy JOBS people who are

President Eisenhower. "
Several conclusions could be
drawn from that statement: Munds

 one of the oldest residents of the Wasilla area, Blind Nick" as he was known to his many ac- qualntances, had spent his entire lifetime in and around Anchorage Eklutna, Matanuska, Knik and Wasllla. He had been blind since about 1915 but in spite of his handicap, he had lived alone and cooked his own meals had even cut his own wood until the past few years.

 His body was discovered March l in his cabin, where he had been living alone the past three weeks. According to U. s. Commissioner May Carter, death was apparently due to old age. He was laid to rest March 3 beside the cabin where he had lived.

HOME rs STILL HOME

HOME rs STILL HoMEl
THE NUMBER OF well known citizens, members Of
families long known and respected in these parts. who have
been returning to visit their homeland after long absences, is
most encouraging and inspiring. There can be no denying the
fact that these visits mean much to those .who.retuIn.
THERE IS a quietness, a certain charm, genuine
f~riendliness and unhurried way Of life to be found almost
nowhere else. The Virgin islander Of years ago. despite all
the bright light, glamor, and tempo Of life in New York, never
theless dreams Of bis home, and keeps infhe back of his mind
the thought that some day he would love to return home, set
tie and resume once again the life he knew in his early years.
NOT LONG AGO we. commented on the unfortunate
situation which had developed with regard to land prices
and the fact that the lucrative prices being offered for land
was inducing many a sale which would otherwise not be
made. 1t is a situation over which there 5 practically no con-
troll, since people are free both to buy and to1sel Yet the
ideal situation would be for those who own land to hold it
both as a stake in their homeland, and the possibilities of
passing il on to those who follow, and would some day return
to settle down.
WITH MODERN Improvements everywhere, plus the
scenic beauty and ideal climate, it is little wonder that many
who leave often dream Of returning. Il is an acknowledged
fact that the principal reason for moving from one place to
another is economic, and the heavy movement north from
these islands is no exception. AS conditions therefore change,
becoming more favorable, it should be the purpose Of those
in power to help things along. and 50 encourage people to
remain at home.
ONE IMPORTANT source Of high-type manpower rests
in our youth who o.off TO colleges and universities on the
mainland to prepare themselves and return to serve. As this
group grows, so viii others see the light, and retrace their
steps homeward.
