The Nome nugget., 1956-09-05

The 1856 territorial campaign of the Democratic Party was launched in Nome Saturday eve ming when two territorial and three Legislative candidates ap- peared at a public meeting in City Hall.
 Talks were made by Ralph J. Rivers, Fairbanks attorney and candidate for representative in the US. House of Representatives under the Alaska Tennessee Plan, and by Bob Bartlett, delegate in Congress.
 A question and answer period followed the talks.
 The speakers were introduced by James von der Heydt, local attorney and candidate for the territorial House. Also present were Charles Fagerstrom and John McNees, seeking election to the Alaska Senate under the Democratic banner. In attendance was Jack Blattler, chairman of the Second Division Democratic Committee.
 Rivers explained the origins and purposes of the Tennessee Plan, stating belief that it would help the cause of statehood. He said seven territories have used the plan successfully in the past.
 Before coming to Nome, Bart lett was in Kotzebue, speaking at a public gathering there Friday night. He reported to the Nome

night and spoke briefly of the Tennessee Plan potential for the attainment of statehood for Alas ka. He stated:
 "The plan worked for Tennes- see and six other states and should tip the scales in favor of Alaska. Three elected emissaries from Alaska chosen by the people to secure a statehood act from Congress and assume their seats in Congress will necessarily make a strong impact. If elected, will do my utmost, in cooperation with my colleagues, to achieve state hood for Alaska
 MT. Rivers spoke briefly of his years of work for statehood, com- mended his fellow Democratic candidates, Ernest Gruening and William Egan for the distln- guished public service they have rendered, and recommended them as to their qualifications for the two Senate posts.
 Rivers, as a longtime Alaskan, has served 10 years as US. dis trict attorney for the Fourth Divi- sion, four years as attorney gen. eral of Alaska, one term as mayor of Fairbanks, one term as terri torial senator, and served as a delegate at large in Afaska's Con stitutional Convention.

on Alaska legislation acted upon by the 84th Congress. The speaker emphasized the importance of the audience, among other matters, law permitting the territory to issue bonds for public improve ments, the Alaska Mental Health Act, and Alaska's inclusion in na- tional highway legislation.
 Reporting on the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, at which he was one of the Alaska delegates, von der Heydt said the Alaskans backed Stevenson and Kefauver from the start for the offices for which they were later nominated. In doing so, he said, he thought the convention had packed winning combination.
 Former Gov. Ernest Gruening and William A. Egan, Democratic candidates for the US. Senate seats under the Tennessee Plan are expected in the Second Divi- sion before the Oct. g election. Egan, veteran territorial legisla- tor from Valdez, was president of the recent Constitutional Conven- tion.

Husband Denies That Marilyn Monroe Is Expecting a Baby

LONDON, R-Playwright Ar thur Miller returned from the United States today and denied his actress wife, Marilyn Monroe, is going to have baby.
 Its absolute rubbish" said Miller. There's not word of truth in it"
 Marilyn, who is making film here with Sir Laurence Oliver, has been absent from the set for five days. Doctors have treated her for stomach ailments.
 Miller told newsmen at the air port Marilyn has been suffering from gastritis.
 "She telephoned me from Lon don while I was in New York, !" said the playwright, "and she did tell me that she was unwell, but she didn't ask me to rush back.
 q have read the story that my wife was visited by gynecolo- gist. Now, I don't know about that, but I can assure you that no baby is on the way"

 "A Terrible Day
 An hour later Gordon flew in alone, obviously distraught and trembling. He still clutched a fragment of cashmere sweater.
 "It's terrible day, a terrible day." he cried. Gall the police" !" At Miss Anderson's request he had gone to 2,500 feet, above the clouds, and started looking for the picnic spot where they had had their first date on Mt. Tamalpais. Suddenly the girl thrust against the door saying:

 Gee, we're awfully high" and looked out.

Pilots Date, Pretty College Graduate, Drops
 1000 Ft. to Death From Plane in Apparent Suicide

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., R-A pretty, June college graduate plunged 1000 feet from a rented plane yesterday, leaving a frag- ment of her sweater grasped in the pilots hand.
 Marin County deputy sheriffs said they would resume a search for the body of Flora Lizabeth Anderson, 22, as soon as the fog lifted sufficiently
 The pilot, Stanley Gordon, 28, of nearby Belvedere, an insurance underwater, was questioned ex- tensively and released. Acting Dist. Atty. Roger Garety said "it would definitely appear to be suicide"
 Gordon and Miss Anderson, daughter of Joseph A. Anderson, a San Francisco building con- tractor, were having only their second date. They had appeared hand in hand, gay and smiling at San Francisco Bay Airport here

and she was starting to slip out.
 Gordon said he took both hands from the wheel, twisted, and grabbed for her. She fought back, attempting to force herself out. The uncontrolled plane went into a 1000-foot dive and Miss Ander- sons sweater tore in Gordon's hands and she dropped into the fog.
 Had Visited Physician
 A Bolinas garage owner on volunteer fire patrol, said he saw the plane dive and something drop from it.
 The girls parents said she was in "good spirits" Monday. They reported she had been vis- iting a San Francisco physician because she was mentally and physically exhausted" from her studies.

their own successes. But they
were never given this chance.
F., The Arab boycott, for example,
has brought untold economic
losses to Israel. The brighter side
of the picture is that Israel has
attuned her budding industry to
sell to European and American
markets. Were it not for the boy
colt, Israel would have planned to
meet the needs of the Arab states.
At any time, these states could
have, clapped down a boycott,
strangling Israel at will. 1t would
take years for the country to
regear her industry.
Agriculture is another instance.

Talk of throwing up an import

But there are some advantages
as most Israelis are gradually
realizing. The Arabs refusal to
stop border raids, whose avowed
purpose is to bring Israel to her
knees, has boomeranged. Israel
today is much stronger, in many
fields, especially in the military
and allied branches, because of
this Arab plan.

they came in peace? Even eco
nomically, such a barrier would
be unfeasible. For if the Arabs
were to buy Israel manufactured
goods, they would demand the
right to pay for them in agricul-
ture produce.
The matter of oil prospecting is
another prime example. If Israel
were receiving petroleum in un-
limited quantities from the Arab
oil fields. she would not have
gone ahead so earnestly with oil
prospecting. Of course. oil would
have been found in Israel. but it
would have undoubtedly taken a
couple of more years. No great
loss if the country could have
purchased crude oil in sufficient
quantities. Even after oil was
found locally. its discovery would
have been greeted latter the
proper rejoicing had died down.

press questioning the economic
pros and cons of producing oil

The Israel Defense Force, like
so many other things, plays
double role in Israel. And both
tasks are of equal importance.
That of defense needs no explana-
ton, even if that of education
does. Composed of immigrants Of
every country, with startling con-
trasting backgrounds, not only in
language, but also of way of life,
something was needed to force
these widely divergent peoples
into constant contact. At a pri-
mary school level, the schools do
this. But many immigrants are
too old for schooling other than
that given in the Army. The need
to make these youngsters into a
coordinated fighting force, having
common ideals and a mutual Ian,
guage, has made the army into a
pressure cooker" which is many
degrees hotter than melting pot.

In short, they would have be-
