Senator Morse's Decision

Senator Morse has demonstrated respon-
sible and fortnight political Judgment in
making, and promptly announcing, his decision
to vote with the Republicans on whatever
Senate organizational issues follow the death
of Senator Taft.
In the opinion of the Oregonian, who was
elected on the Republican ticket but who has
since withdrawn from that party, the people
of the Nation voted the G. o. P. into power
in 1852 with the expectation and intention that
1t should remain in political control until 1854
at least. Holding that opinion and having been
elected himself as a Republican, he feels an
ethical obligation to support what he considers
the mandate of the voters as far as organiza-
ton of the Senate is concerned.
Actually, the Senator's decision and his
unequivocal announcement of it removes the
major uncertainty from the Senate organiza-
tional picture. It is expected that Republican
will be named to replace the late Senator Tobey
Of New Hampshire, but it is likely that Ohio'S
Democratic Governor Lausche will name
Democrat to succeed Senator Taft. The party
lineup would then favor the Democrats by,
48-47 count, with Senator Morse listed as an
independent. If he remained on the sidelines
OF chose to join the Democrats on organiza-
tional issues, that party could take over Senate
control with its committee chairmanships and
other majority prerogatives BY voting with
the G. o. p, however, Senator Morse assures
the Republicans of tie on any such question,
with Republican Vice President Nixon in posi-
ton to break the deadlock in his party's favor.
While the Democrats have been represented
as not anxious to take over Senate control
midway in the life of the SD Congress, it is
of more positive concern to the Republican
administration that it should retain its working
control Senator Morse has done the admin
istration distinct favor in assuring it of that
power.

I read with great interest Dorothy
Thompson's article, "A Psychotic Psy-
Geological War;" published July 10.
This article touches the problem OF
success in the cold war. The funda-
mental sentence in this respect could
be seen in the following statement:
"The psychological approach to politi
cal problems requires the capacity to
put oneself in the position and mind
Of the people one hopes to influence"
Well, what is the exact mind of all
the peoples living under the Soviet
domination? Suffocating as they are.
are those peoples longing after, say
the American way of life? Every one
reducing the problem to this alterna-
tive would commit political Simplif1ca-
ton. All the Central European peoples
uprooted from their historical exist
ence by classification, by materialistic
Sovietization, by the policy which is
aiming at the diSiftegration of their
traditional national life, instead of
longing for something distant, unknown
and platonic. are desiring. in the first
place, to remain simply themselves,

him, we do it certainly not in order to
impose our force or our ideas upon him,
but to give him an opportunity to re-

and the Radio Free Europe should
rather speak to those peoples. instead
Of anything else, of their history. their
culture. art, religion, of their great po-
litical and spiritual leaders. If Amer

like to encourage, by radio. the Ameri-

would have to speak to the enslaved

Compatible Color TV Assured

The long battle over the question of "cono
patibility' or "incompatibility" of color-tele-
vision standards is over. It came to end with
the announcement by the Columbia Broad
casting System that it will begin experimental
broadcaSting in September of an industry
recommended compatible process of color TV.
Since CHS had been the sponsor and advocate
OF an incompatible system approved by the
Federal Communications Commission, the aban-
donment of that system by its sponsor is GER
tain to mean its abandonment by the FEC.
Every one now seems to agree that compatibility
is important.
compatible process is one that permits
color TV programs to be received in black-and-
white tones on todays non-color televsion sets
Since there are some "a million black -and-waite
receivers in homes and public places through
out the country, it Is essential that the impact
or color TV on these owners be considered The
CHS process could not be received on existing
black and white sets without expensive alter
ationS But 1t had the virtue, at the time of its
approval by the FEC, of producing better
quality color pictures than the then partially
developed compatible RCA system However, re-
search and development of the latter system
have made marked strides, under joint sponsor
ship of an industry group called the National
Television Systems Committee. Recent demon
favorably received in New York. RCA and NBC
have asked the FEC to reconsider its approval
of the CHS plan.
The effect of the CHS announcement is to
make such reconsideration certain. For CHS
now says it not only will begin a regular series
of experimental color broadcasts soon, but is
prepared to support before the FEC the COM
patible process backed by the industry group:
That makes it unanimous. With CHS no longer
urging its own system, the way is cleared for
early restudy by the FEC of the whole color-TV
question. But general home reception of tele-
vision in color still is several years off. Even
if FEC approval of the industry backed process
is expedited, it may take two or three years to
swing into full production of trapsmitters and
receivers. In the meantime color programs
can be received on conventional black and
white sets. Fortunately, most TV fans will not
realize how drab today's pictures are until they
have seen the other kind.

Story of Another Armistice

Review of Mining POtentialities Of
 Seward Peninsula
By HOWARD LYING
 Territorial Senator


 tinuously mineralized area on the North American continent. This land mass projects 200 miles from the center of western Alaska, sep arated only by the Boring Strait from the Siberian mainland 56 miles away.
 North and south this peninsula is 140 miles across the broad DOT ton, while the southern boundary stretches 300 miles along the Der ing Sea coast and the shores of Norton Sound. The northwest DOT tion is bounded by the 150-mile- long Boring Strait and on the northern perimeter by Kotzebue Sound, an arm of the Arctic Ocean.
 Since the great gold rush of 1900, Seward Peninsula has been noted for it's production of gold, running into many millions. Gold is found in varying quantities in every section of this vast area, and it's production is slowly re- covering from the lethal blow given to the gold mining industry when the War Production Board in 1942 arbitrarily shut down gold mining throughout the nation
 The planet Earth, on which we live, is composed of 92 elements, including 20 native metals, and Of these latter, many have been found on Seward Peninsula, either as native metals or in their min eralized forms. These range from gold, antimony, iron, silver, lead, graphite, mercury, platinum, tung- sten to uranium, tin and bismuth.
 While as yet no concentrated search for uranium has been in stituted, several finds have been made in the course of other pros pecting. Placer tin has been mined for many years, and the only lode tin mine on the North American continent is in opera tion 75 air miles from Nome.
 Thirty-five miles north and west of Nome is located the only native bismuth mine, not just on the North American continent, but in the entire world. Millions of tons of iron ore lay a few miles up the beach within sight of Nome. An estimated million tons of graphite have been located along the Tuksuk Channel in the Imuruk Basin section of the Teller district about 80 miles from Nome.
 In addition to the untold miner al wealth of this richly endowed section of Northwest Alaska, sur veys made over the years estimate the hydroelectric potential of Seward Peninsula to be in excess of 25O,OOO,0OO kilowatt-hours of firm energy each year.
 Seward Peninsula has just tWo1 recording and mining precincts: D the Cape Nome Mining and Re cording Precinct, with headquar- ters at Nome and 9 the Fairhaven Mining and Recording Precinct, with headquarters at Candle up on the Arctic Circle. The Nome Recording Office embraces ap- proximately three-quarters of the peninsula, the Candle office the remainder.

3 Escape Injury
As Autos Collide

The three occupants of a skid
ding automobile escaped serious
injury, but considerable damage
was done to the car and build
ing which it struck in an accident
in Newport about 0:20 Monday
morning.
According to the report of De-

Midway PIeases
Capacity Crowd

A packed house of more than
1900 persons jammed the London
High gym Monday night to see an
inspired Midway quintet almost
overcome the smooth work of
George Robinson's Plain City
"Scotties." The game ended ST.
So with the Scotties on the long
end of the tally.
Don Strasburg's Midway boys
went onto the floor short handed
by the untimely injury of Roger
Radcliff who was hurt earlier last
week. Radcliffe was on crutches
for the Plain City game. How
ever, the Midway team played the
taller and better-manned Scotties
to a standstill throughout the
game. 1t wasn't until the last min
utes of the fourth quarter when
bad luck seemed to strike. Mid
ways high-point man, Dick Bog
enrife, fouled out which hurt the
team somewhat but they kept
right at it and it looked like Mid
way might still come on the win.
But it just wasn't in the book and
Plain City scored enough to make
the difference.
Midway will play West Jeffer-
son Wednesday night and the win
ner of this game will play Plain
City on Friday for the champion
ship. Should Plain City suffer a
defeat at the hands of either of
these teams, another game will be
played. Tournament rules state
that a team must lose two games
to be eliminated. Thus, Midway
and Plain City may meet again
should Midway beat West Jeff
Wednesday.
West Jefferson, after a fairly
even first half, came out the sec
ond half and downed Fairfield CO.
49, thus getting a chance at Mid
way Little Fairfield had the
crowd behind them but West Jeff
proved too much what with SUPER
ior height.

Ciose!

Back. in 1949, the Madison
Press and Madison County
Democrat aided the Mullin-
Kile company, a private firm
which makes such estimates, to
take an independent census of
London. At that time many
local residents were dubious as
to the actual number of per-
sons living here since no gov
ernment census had been taken
for almost 20 years.
The private census in which
both local newspapers partici-
pated showed that London had
1858 persons including its EN-
VIRONS. The government CEN
sus showed, a year later, the
population to be 1922 WITH
IN THE CITY LIMITS. Just
for the record, our census was
a pretty fair estimate, at that!
