Nixon Wins 2l,OOO
Write-In Votes in
First US. Primary
BY RELMAN NORM

MANCHESTER, NH, R- Re-
turns, nearly complete, today
from New Hampshire's first-in-
the-nation presidential primary
election gave Vice President Nix
on an astonishing $1,000 votes
all -ins-and emphatically
endorsed Sen. Estes Kefauver for
the Democratic presidential nom
nation.
Nixon's name was not on the
ballot, he did no campaigning,
and there was no organized effort
on his behalf.
The votes apparently represent
ed a spontaneous upsurge of pub
lie sentiment for the much-argued
vice president.
The primary also produced
these results:
|. It elected IA Republican con-
vention delegates, all hackers of
President Eisenhower. None of
seven candidates, who had filed
as favorable TO Sen. Knowiand,
was elected. The seven had en-
tered the primary before Eisen-
hover announced he would seek
a second term.
2. Kefauver won all II Democrat
ie delegates with eight convention
votes. A 12-man slate running as
favorable to Adlai Stevenson, who
did not campaign in this state,
was beaten in every race.

told by another priest who es-
capped to safety. 81 think the mon
signor was caught trying to wake
everyone" said the Rev. William

ond floor of the rectory and ap-
parently was trying to get to the

Gals of the Native Brotherhood of

900 British Columbia Indians, an
nounced here yesterday they will
make war on the federal Tax De-

Their statement followed a re-
port from Ottawa that BIC. Indi-

argument.
Frances Point, a fisherman, has
won dismissal here on a charge
of failing to file an income tax
return. Our braves are not
asleep" said Guy Williams, mem
Der of the Brotherhood legislative
committee. We'll ambush these
tax men if necessary by going
into the Exchequer Court.

try say everyone must file income
tax returns" said Mr.. Williams,
"but l ask 'hoW?''
eve are wards of the govern
ment and you can't force us to
pay income tax"
Robert Clifton, Brotherhood
president, said the dismissal Of
the charge against Point creates
a very embarrassing position for
Ottawa"
"This will lead to thousands of
BIC. Indians not filing returns this
year." he said.

Teleyisiion for Nome Is Practical
Larry Calvin Tells Chamber, and
Proposes Installing Closed System

Larry Calvin explained TO the
Chamber of Commerce Tues
day about the television system
which he plans TO bring TO
Nome soon. He stated:
Television is feasible, practical
and within the realm of POSSIBLE
ty for Nome.
All phases have been thorough
ly checked-availability of per
sonnet in Nome for the operation,
installation and maintenance of a
station, the availability of pro-
grams, and the cost of equipment
and of installation.
The only remaining detail to be
worked out is pole line contract
with the Nome Utility Board. This
is a permit to use, at a fee, the
present light poles for carrying a
coaXial cable throughout the City
of Nome.
There are two types of televi-
sion systems in operation. One is
the regular broadcast type where
programs are sent out over the
air similar to a radio station. This
is expensive to install, expensive
to maintain, and would require a
large group of experienced per-
sonnet to operate. 1t would take a
town of approximately $4,000 peo
pie to support such a station. 1t is
The Nome nugget., 1956-03-14

entirely out of the question for
Nome.
The type proposed for Nome is
much simpler, less expensive to
install, requires less machinery,
is easier to operate and maintain
with personnel now available in
Nome), and will give customers
very good service.
The picture will be comparable
to TV receptions Outside and in
many cases will be better than
Outside reception in fringe areas.
BY combining the refined in
dustrial equipment with the COM
munity antenna system and pro
gram supply unit we have the
closed TV system, which is pro-
posed for Nome.
Ketchikan has had a successful,
similar installation for the past
three years.
Programs will be- similar to
those in the States-canned and
live. BY canned, we mean shows
recorded on i6-mm. film and then
broadcast over the closed circuit.
These films are obtained from
various sources and are rotated
from one station to another They
will not be old, outdated pro
grams, as network programs must
be returned to the distributor
within so days-that is, they must
make the circuit of all stations in
the chain in this period.
l have gone into this phase of
the operation and have been as
sured that Nome can be included
in this circuit.
Live programs are limited only
by the talent available and may
consist of school plays, education
al talks or discussions, political
campaigns, and so on.
Other than the broadcaStlng
equipment there is nothing spe-
cial required. This system is de-
signed so that any standard or
reliable TV set will work salts
factorily
Service for televiSion sets will
be available in Nome. The cost of
this service will be patterned or
based on that in Ketchikan: $3.50
for the hook-up and $3.50 or less
a month for the program service
for residences.
We hope to get some national
and local advertising. Anyone
may advertise but we hope to keep
it to a minimum as l get just as
bored with a lot of commercials
as anyone else.
1t is my thought that TV will
bring a certain amount of enter
tainment, education and enjoy
ment to the people and I earnestly
solicit the Chambers support.

Sites Purchased
All Peak Value

The Montgomery County
Board Of Education. the Nc
Kinsey report states, has been
buying tschool) sites at the peak
of their dollar value"
Because Of failure TO buy in
advance of heavy subdivision de-
yelopment. the board has had
virtually the last choice Of re-
naming land"
Requires Grading
And, In some instances. the re-
port says, this limited choice
has resulted in the acquisition Of
land requiring site improvement
and grading before construction
could be started"
The "oniy" solution to this
expensive method Of buying
school property is program
of advance site purchasing by
which the board might take
advantage Of the generally lower
prices which prevail In undevel-
oped areas as well as having
first choice Of SITES"
Criticism Forecast
This may entail criticism that
the board Is entering the real
estate business" the McKinsey
report notes, insisting. however,
that only by such action can
economies be effected.
The McKinsey report hailed
the recent appointment Of Les
ter WEIGH as an administrative
assistant for site acquisition and
planning and recommended that
he prepare q l0-year program
of site purchases.

Improved Purchasing System
Proposed to Effect Economies

after the beginning of the school
year. For the school year 1854
IS, one school did not receive its
supplies until January, 1885,"
Since the school admtnistra-
ton orders and uses IS per cent
of the items in the warehouse,
and the county only is per cent,
the warehouse should be oper-
ated by the Board of Education
and not by the county, the re-
port suggests.
The major problem In pur-
chasing involves orders of less
than $500. Last year. 5000 sep
aratae orders were issued, re-
sulting In piecemeal purchasing
and higher unit prices.
This shortcoming could be
eliminated by placing schools or
|requisitioning cycles and in.
structine each school principa.
to order supplies for thret
months at q time. the report rec.
ommends.

Confusion and delay mark the
buying Of school supplies in
Montgomery County, says the
McKinsey report.
The survey group calls for
basic changes in the system.
urging that the board tie in its
purchasing closer to general
county purchasing and take over
control of the county warehouse.
The board should have the
final say on what should be
bought, in what quantity and
when needed" the survey team
said. but 1t recommended that
the County Purchasing Office
should retain actual final control
Of purchases.

cism at present warehouse OPP
erations.
