The earliest telegraph line in AL aska was the 24 mile line between Nome and Safety Harbor, estab- lished in 1900 by the WAMCATS, Washington Alaska Military Ca- ble and Telegraph System1 a group of U. s. Army Signal Corps men.
 In 1901, construction began on 559 miles of line connecting Tana- na, just south of Fairbanks present location, with Eagle City. near the Canadian border
 The WAMCATS also experiment. ed with radio during this period, and on August T 1903. what is be- lieved to be the first wireless tele- graph system in the world acting as part of commercial set-up was established between Fort Safety and Fort St Michael. or miles across Norton Sound
 By 1904, communication networks in tSe Territory consisted of 2.i28 miles of submarine cable, tinclud- ing the line installed that summer from Sitka to Valdez,o 1,497 miles Of land lines. and a wireless sys~ tenn covering Tor miles over water.
 Alaska communications saw rap- i'd development in the ten year period from 1924 to 1894. largely due to the introduction of the vacuum tube. radio circuits. and greatly improved equipment.

Congressman Dante B. Fascell is somewhat of lone
star among Floridas Senators and Representatives.
In the manifesto presented to both houses of Con-
gress on Monday Rep Fascells does not appear.
He refused to sign the document.
Rep. Fascell said:
The manifesto subscribed to by many Congress-
men recently is in my opinion announcement Of the
Supreme Court of the United States which is
stone of American government In the light of the
Supreme Court decision the statement offered sou
ton to those who want segregation. 1t simply state
ment of open defiance of the Supreme Court which in it
self accompshes nothing and to which can not sub
scribe,
THE problem calls for calm, logical reasoning. Moth
ing will be solved and only damage and destruction will
result, if resort to defiance and violence"
Mr.. Fascell's full statement appears on page two
of this issue.

found herself getting buster

friends prevailed upon her to
take time out from official
