Nome Volunteers
Will Undertake
ChristmasPr

At a recent meeting of the
Nome Volunteer Fire Depart
ment is was decided that the
group would undertake a COM
munity project of lighting up
Front Street during Christmas
season. In past years this group
has erected large Christmas
tree at the intersection of Front
Street and Lanes Way. Now we
wish to 60 a bit further in fos-
tering the spirit of Christmas
and helping to make our city
bit more attractive at this sea-
son. We will also erect a tree on
Front Street again this year.
Within a short while, mer-
chants and business people will
be approached by members of
the Volunteer group for dona-
tons toward this cause. If suf-
ficient funds are raised this
year, it will not be necessary to
ask for more funds in the flu
ture. 1t is planned to place Is
strings of lights across Front
Street from the foot of Stead
man Avenue to the foot of b"
Street. The approximate cost Of
this project is $1,000.
The Volunteers will erect the
lights, maintain them, and then
remove and store them after
New Years. We feel this is a
worthwhile project and should
earn the support of the citizens
in making Nome more festive
at the holiday season.
Already one donation of $40
has been received and we feel
we are off to a good start. Any
individual wishing to make
donation may feel free to leave
it at the fire station or mail it
to the Nome Volunteer Fire
Department.

Soviet Union
Cracks Down on
4 Top Architects

MOSCOW, Rt-The Soviet Union
has cracked down on four of it's
top architects, including Alexan-
der v. Vlasov, who now is COM
pleting an inspection tour of home
building techniques in the United
States.
The government says the ma
TONS builders have been wasting
money on ornate decoration and
skyscrapers and disregarding the
needs of the people for housing.
Vlasov, who is president Of the
Academy of Architects of the So
Wet Union, was stripped of his
government decorations. and dis
missed as chief architect of Mos
cow. The same action was taken
against d. N. Chechulin.
Announcing the dismissals on
Wednesday night, a government
statement said two other nation
ally known architects, Polykov
and Boretsky, were deprived Of
their Stain Prize laureateS.
A spokesman for the Academy
Of Architects said Vlasov was still
president of the organization.

Appeals Court Ruling
Balks NLRB Effort

WASHINGTON, R-The U. S.
Court of Appeals reaffirmed yes
terday an earlier ruling that a
union cannot be denied collective
bargaining benefits on the ground
that union official filed false
non-C Communist affidavit.
The ruling baked efforts of the
NLRB to take away the "compli-
ance status" Of the International
Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter
workers under the Taft Hartley
law.
The appellate court cited an
earlier decision in which the court
held that the NLRB cannot deny a
union collective bargaining bene-
fits even though union members
are aware of the falsity of non
Communist affidavit filed by a
union official.
