Sen. Lehman Blasts Mccarthy As Demagogue

WASHINGTON, R-Sen. Leh- man O-Lib-NY) told the Senate today that Sen. Mccarthy engaged in 'Spure demagoguery' in blam- ing anti-Semitism for attacks on two staff aides, Roy Cohn and David Schine.
 Lehman said he was speaking as a Jew in denouncing McCar- thy's statement, made on a tele- vision program yesterday that criticism of Cohn and Schine was based on -Semitism.
 Lehman said he was one of those who had criticized "the an- tics of these two brash young men," and that he felt many others of Jewish faith shared his belief that the staff aides "have been doing our country and the cause of anti-Communism great harm here and abroad"
 q am very certain that most members of my religious faith, not as Jews, but as Americans, are anything but proud of these two young men," Lehman asserted, adding:
 gro brand criticism of them as 'anti-Semitism' is pure and er- rant demagoguery, raising an ugy symbol in defense of inde- fensible conduct"

Nome's 1,OOOth Visitor Presented Ivory Bracelet By IVA. Director

Fridays visitors arriving by Wien, 21 in all, were a very happy group. Among them were Betty Walker, Chicago, and liar riette R. Griffiths, who remained overnight, departing Saturday via Alaska for Anchorage, as did Thur Keith, Morgan Hill, Calf. Miss Walker is a feature writer, covering outstanding Alaskan women for the Chicago Sun Times.
 Others were: pr. Anna Bartsch, Denver; Mrs. Nan Ford, Washing ton, DC; Mrs. Dora E. Morse and Mrs. Zelma Tanner, Monterey Park, Calf; Anna E. Elam, Glen dale, Calif.; MT. and Mrs. Forrest H. Crum, son and daughter, of Billings, Mont; MT. and Mrs. O.. Lyman, Hilo, Hawaii - Nome's second couple from I'll. this month; Louise G. Herr, Mt. Yer non, NY; Vivian Klink, sister of Nome's 1000th and 10O1st visitors, Twin Falls, Ida; MT. and Mrs. John B. Ross, North Hollywood, Calf. MT. Ross enjoys his all-over Alaska trip as he knows that AL aska is rich in metals for he is in the business of precious metals, being the district manager of In dustrial sales for the nationally known Los Angeles firm of Handy and Harman.
 Special mention is made of MT. and Mrs. George Klink, Burley, Idaho. They became immediate Nomeites, once they learned of our Snake River, for they too live on the banks of Snake River-in Idaho.
 The Nome Visitor Associations register, showed that MT. Klink was Nome's 1,0OOth visitor for 1853. When his group was enroute to Nome Field in Angello's bus, MT. Klink was asked if he would permit Mrs. Klink to be the 1,000th visitor, he graciously ex- pressed his willingness and Geo. Goshaw, executive director for the IVA, presented Mrs. Klink with an attractive ivory bracelet from his Shishmaref collection. All the visitors applauded Mrs. Klink as she delightedly accepted. MT. Klink was then agreeably surprised, on hearing that since he was the kind of husband that wives always preferred, and he was rewarded for stepping aside in favor of his wife, with an ivory watchband, a companion piece to the bracelet. So ended another happy day for visitors to Nome.

Nome Council Votes for Appraisal Of Power Plant

last Friday evening when the Nome Council met to discuss the possibility of the city purchasing the Northern Light and Power Company.
 Bill Vim of Grande and Com pany explained to the Council and to local citizens attending the meeting that MT. Weaver has of fered the plant for sale at the price of $2OO,0OO and that his company was interested in mak- ing the loan to the city as they have done in other Alaska cities.
 He explained that before any loan could be made, however, it was necessary for the city to ob- tain the services of an engineering firm specializing in appraising the property and recommended the firm of Metcalf and Harstead of Seattle.
 He stated that the cost of this work would be around S3,5OO and would take two to three months to complete.
 Vim emphasized that the loan would be a mortgage against the light plant itself and not against the city and would not involve city finances in any way nor be a debt against the property of the town.
 He advised that under munich pal ownership the plant should not be used for profit but instead an attempt should be made to give the best possible service to the community at the lowest pos Sible rates.
 At the present time" Vim stat ed, "the amount of electricity used per capita in Nome is very low and as the rate is substantially decreased the amount of power used will increase, giving a high CT standard of living in the com- munity.
 This should not imply that the Northern Light and Power was making too much profit, however, as their taxes were in excess of $25,OOO.
 Vim also stated that the city could make considerably more money on the plant than any pri- vate organization, inasmuch as public utilities are exempt from taxes. He stated that federal tax es now paid by Northern Light and Power are over $25,0O0 a year and with this saving by the city should make it possible to lower the rates almost immedi- ately.
 The loan would be for a 2O-year period at five percent and may be completed in ten years.
 He recommended that a utility board be set up to operate the plant, and he also recommended that, should the city take over, Luther Dunbar be retained as manager, due to his experience.
 Before the light plant can be purchased, however, it will be necessary for the city to hold a special election for the citizens to make the final decision after the engineers have completed their appraisal, some time this fall.
 The Council was unanimous in it's approval of obtaining the ser
