Ivory Carver Finds Gold Nugget On The Street

It's no idle boast that the "streets of Nome and paved with gold"
 Concrete, or shall we say gold en evidence of this can be attested by Mark, the ivory carver.
 Mark was standing on the snow pile east of the Alaska Steamship office when he was attracted by a glittering object in the snow.
 He picked it up and it proved to be shiny rock, reported to be a gold nugget worth probably $50.
 The shiny side of the nugget showed it had been cut through, probably by the city snow re- moval equipment, indicating that the rest of the nugget is lying somewhere on the streets of Nome.

NENANA ICE TO BREAK UP ANY DAY NOW
By DON TUCKER Manager. Nenana Ice Classic


 FAIRBANKS, R-From what I can see, it looks like the Nenana Ice Classic and several winners will aid in balancing the national budget in the next couple of days. Several new spots have opened up in the Panama River and water is beginning to overflow on the ice. The mouth of the Panama River is still blocked with ice, but gradually being worn out by the current beneath it.
 The weather is still freezing at nights but warming up during the late morning.
 Everyone is making one or two trips daily to the docks and checking their guesses.
 Daily radio broadcasts will be- gin today at noon from KFAR so keep an ear out for on-the-spot news of the Tanana ice break.

TELEPHONE SERVICE AIRED
 AT CHAMBER MEETING
By RUTH MCLEAN

The Northwestern Alaska Cham Der of Commerce heard a report at its regular meeting from Stan Morgan, who was its official rep resentative at recent Alaska Day luncheon given by the Seat tie Chamber of Commerce.
 Some 628 persons attended the luncheon in Seattle with all but one Alaska city represented.
 The topic for the meeting was Transportation" and one of the guests was MT. Art Woodley, whose airline has an enviable record of 25 years without a fatal accident MT. Woodley stated this is the result of rigidly high main tenance standards and pilot train ing.
 The speaker for the Seattle Chamber luncheon was Mr. Lloyd, general manager of the Alaska Railroad. He spoke on the need for roads to connect with the rail- road and urged the Seattle people to help Alaska with legislation to aid the territory in getting it's road building program started.
 Don Hungerford also attended the Alaska Day meeting.
 President Jim Walsh asked MT. Hungerford to telegraph congrat- ulations to the Seattle Chamber of Commerce on the occasion of their 18th anniversary.
 The summer work of the Bu- reau of Public Roads is well on its way, according to Frank Mor- ris and the road to the Nome Riv- CT bridge should be passable in few days.
 The balance of the business period was turned over to an open forum on the local telephone service, which is recognized to be inadequate and unsatisfactory.
 In discussing the possibility of the city purchasing the telephone system, the Chamber members were advised that the city cannot use tax funds for the purchase of utilities. Such a purchase must come from bonding (and the city is now bonded for the school ad- dition and for the present uili- ties) or from revenue from the telephone system itself.
 The dial systems of two small Alaskan communities were men tioned-one privately owned in Valdez and one city-owned in Douglas. The common use of pow CT and telephone poles in Nome presents a peculiar problem in this community in attempting to separate the two services. It is understood that the City Council meeting in May will include a discussion of the present tele- phone situation.

Russian Disarmament Plan Would
 Open Alaska and Western US.
 To Inspection by Soviet Planes
By HERB ALTSCHULL.

30 N, Germany, R-NATO foreign ministers assembled here today for three-day meeting which Secretary of State Dulles said Twill seek to assure to our people the blessing of justice and peace"
 A four-engine plane o1, the US. Air Force landed the secretary and Mrs. Dulles in brilliant sun shine after a direct flight from Washington.
 Russia's latest proposals for disarmament, announced just last night, were certain to be a major topic at the talks opening in Bonn tomorrow on mutual political problelgs of the IS NATc, nations.
 Part of the Soviet plan provid- ed for limited acceptance of Pres ident Eisenhower two+year-old "open skies" scheme for disarma- ment inspectors to photograph American and Russian territory from the air as check against preparations for war.
 Moscow radio said Soviet Dele gate Valerian Zorin told the JUN. disarmament subcommittee in r onIor I,ie rox1orprY,apf ITO. ~ro pared to open about 2;4 million square miles of it's territory in Europe and eastern Siberia to aerial inspection if the United States would open the skies over almost the same amount of terri tory in Alaska and the western United States.
 Altho Zorin did not set forth the geographical limits oi the pro- posed American area to be in spected, the total specified minus Alaska would take in most of the land west of the Mississippi River. This includes the great industrial regions of the West Coast, key naval and air bases, missile test ing sites and power installations.
 Tn return, the Russian offered to open up "vast zone not only in Europe but also in the Far East, including the territory of eastern Siberia and the maritime territory, Kamcflatka and Sakha- lin" The key question still to be answered was how far into Euro pean Russia-location of the chief Sovie t might-the inspectors could pepetrate.
 The West knows virtually noth- ing about what is in eastern Si- beria, altho the Russians are re- ported to have atomic installa- tions there and air bases and other military installations on Kamchatka and Sakhalin.
 British officials in London called the Russian plan "unac- ceptable in its present form"
 Frances delegate to the arms talks, Jules Moch, said it leaves much to be desired" He con- plained it "opens the ice and wasteland of Siberia in return for opening up of a huge part of the industrial center of the United States to inspection.
 The new Soviet disarmament plan was advanced for initial con- sideration within the JUN. dis armament subcommittee which is
