IL Is very uifncufL Tor me
TO understand why anyone
without q selfish motive can
oppose erection OF the Free
dom Shrine Monument.
Those who oppose it can
not realize fully what We In
America and in the free
world are up against In the
struggle for the minds Of
men. We must mobilize not
only our military forces but
our spiritual and intellectual
forces as well. We Americans
must restate our faith and
demonstrate our sense Of
mission toward our system OF
democracy and freedom. In
accomplishing this. the use
fulness Of a historic symbol
cannot be overestimated.
The concept Of the Freedom
Shrine. as presently planned
at the end Of the Mall in
Virginia (which I think is an
ideal setting) is designed to
tell the story Of the winning
and evolution Of our great
American system In, O most
thrilling manner. It could
well be the focal point for
freedom for which the world
has been waiting.
Helen Chapman.
Are those folks serious
about building this Freedom
Wall" along the Potomac?
With all the living memo
rails we might erect with the
money Il mention research
contributions in medical and
science fields as immediate
examples which come to
mind I should think the his
toric example OF the Great
Wall Of China should prove
significant.
G. L. NewbOld.
Some people who have
written to you regarding the
proposed Freedom Shrine
either do net have complete
information or failed to state
all the facts. When the an.
nouncement was made origi-
nally. II was stated that no
Federal funds would be used.
The construction Is to be
built with funds obtained
from private contributions. I
should think that Americans
would be proud to contribute
and be a part Of the Freedom
Shrine.

Senator Kefauver put his
finger on the delicate kernel
Of the whole question when
he said that no Vice Presi-
dent had ever been willing TO
take the initiative in declar-
ing q President unable to
carry on his duties-even
when the President was OBJ
viously incapacitated. He
mentioned the cases Of Presi-
dents Garfield and Wilson,

Vice Presidents Arthur and
Marshall would have been
justified in assuming the
powers and duties Of the Of

He added that no one can

asked: Had President Will

clared, might be even more

Boss Tests
 Crown Jewels Burglar Alarm
By EDDIE GILMORE

LONDON, R-The boss at the Tower of London confessed to Scotland Yard today he set off the burglar alarm to see how well England's crown jewels are being guarded.
 "I'm delighted with the test" :" said Brig. Leslie Frederick Ethel bert Wieler. Tt worked extreme ly we'll
 Brig. Wieler is resident gover- nor of the ancient tower over the Thames river and the man re- sponsible for safeguarding one of the worlds most fabulous collec- tion of jewels.
 "Why didn't you warn us, sir, that it was only a practice?" asked a Scotland Yard sleuth.
 "What's the use of having a test" snapped the Brigadier, If it's not carried out properly?"'
 It was carried out properly, all right.
 Shortly after breakfast the re- corded voice of an automatic bur- glar alarm boomed out in Scot land Yard: "Intruders have en- tered the Tower of London"
 At the Tower, alarm gongs changed like engines racing to a three-alarm fire.
 Scots Guards jumped to action posts, scores of Yeoman Wardens numbered to emergency stations, the flying squad roared out of Scotland Yard, radio cars dashed to the Tower, police boats churn- ed down the Thames, Boobies cordoned off Tower Hill, a 16- ton steel cage changed down around the jewels.
 It was the biggest scare since Capt. Peter Blood stole the royal ice from the Tower. nearly 300 years ago.

Cost of Living Rose To New Record High In July

WASHINGTON, R-The gov ernment reported today the cost of living in July set another rec ord high. Its consumer price in dex rose two-tenths of one per cent to 123.9.
 The 1947-49 average is 100 in the index.
 At the same time, the take home pay of factory workers rose to record for any July. This rise was contrary to the usual seasonal trend.
 The Bureau of Labor Statistics figured the average take home pay of a factory worker with three dependents was $75.88 a week, a rise of about 30 cents from June.
 The index has gone up in 21 of the last 23 months. There has been no decline since August of 1856.
 Ewin Clague, Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, predicted little change in the general cost of living for the next several months.
 He said food prices will con- tinue down but the advent of fall clothing and new model auto mobiles, both expected to cost more, will have the effect of off setting a drop in food prices.

WASHINGTON, RS-The home stretch rush for adjournment was on in Congress today.
 The Senate worked to clear it's calendar of several prime items, including the 315 billion dollar foreign aid money bill.
 The House, having taken care of most major matters, considered six-bi1lion-dollar appropriation measure to finance a score of government agencies.
 President Eisenhower vetoed an earlier bill for these agencies because it contained half a bill lion dollars for the Civil Service fund. He said the payment was unnecessary.
 The target date for adjourn ment remained Saturday night. But first Congress must dispose of these major pieces of legisla- ton, among others:
 l. Foreign Aid - The House passed a bill calling for $3,078,- 100000 in military and econ omic help to other nations this year. The Senate Appropriations Committee, taking up the mea- sure after eruption of the Middle East crisis, boosted the amount to $3,518,O ,O92,500. But this still is 432 million dollars below the amount originally requested by the President.

SEATTLE, R-A last minute crush of congressional activity has delayed for a day, at least, the planned trip of Secretary of Interior Fred Seaton to Alaska, United Airlines reported Tues day.
 A spokesman for the air line said Seaton had cancelled reser- vations which would have brought him into Seattle Tues day, but had made tentative re- servations for Wednesday. The spokesman said under present plans-still subject to change he would leave for tour of the territory Saturday.
 The Chamber of Commerce re- ceived a phone call from Acting Gov. Waino Hendrickson, that due to the delay, Nome would not be on Seaton's itinerary.

IA Communists Visit
 Stronghold of Capitalism

NEW YORK, R-Fourteen So- viet tourists went sightseeing Thursday in one of the strong holds of capitalism = the New York Stock Exchange.
 The first group of just plain Soviet citizens to visit this coun- try since the Bolshevik revolu- ton, then took many pictures and asked plenty of questions.
 Watching the hustle on the ex- change, Alexander V. Rubovev commented: "How they run around. I bet they lot a lot of weight. In Russia we don't have to be so nervous because we workers don't own any shares"
 Pointing to a group of shirt sleeved men, another Russian said, All of these people do not look like millionaires.

WASHINGTON, R- President Eisenhower announced today the United States is ready to suspend nuclear weapons tests for one year starting Oct. 31, provided Russia meets two conditions.
 The conditions are if the So- viet Union agrees to maintain it's current ban on nuclear tests, and further agrees to negotiations looking toward a permanent ban.
 The White House said Great Britain also stands ready to join in one-year suspension of wea- pons tests under the same condi- tions specified by the U. s.
 Eisenhower stressed in state ment that the United States is not proposing that nuclear tests for peaceful purposes be halted.
 Referring to technical talks on policing a ban, concluded at Gen. eva this week, Eisenhower said:
 'sThe United States, taking ac- count of the Geneva conclusions, is prepared to proceed promptly to negotiate an agreement with

Circuit Court Grants Stay To Decision

ST. LOUIS, R-The 9th Cir cult Court of Appeals Thursday granted stay Thursday to it's decision which would return seven Negro students to Central High School at Little Rock.
 Chief Justice Archibald Gard ner announced that the seven judge court had agreed to a grant the stay.
 Gardner, who wrote the only dissent in the 6-1 decision that overturned US. District Court Judge Harry Lemley's 215 year breather order, said the stay was granted so the Little Rock school board could appeal to the Sup reme Court.

other nations for the suspension of nuclear weapons tests and the actual establishment of an inter national controls system on the basis of the experts report.
 "If this is accepted in prin- ciple by the other nations which have tested nuclear weapons, then in order to facilitate the de- tailed negotiations, the United States is prepared, unless testing is resumed by the Soviet Union, to withhold further testing on it's part of atomic and hydrogen weapons for period of one year from the beginning of negotia- tions."
 The Presidents announcement reflected a major shift in U. s. nuclear policy.
 The implication seemed to be that the United States is willing to renew the proposed initial 12- month suspension on year-to- year basis while negetiati@ns looking toward possible per- manent ban are being conducted.

increase the federal debt limit now temporarily 280 billion dol lars-to 288 billion through June 30, 1956O.
 The House agreed to the re- quest, but the Senate Finance Committee voted to allow the 288 billion ceiling only though next June 30. The House and the Sen ate committee also differed on how much the permanent ceiling now PTS billions should be boosted.
 3. Education-HOuse and Sen- ate conferees agreed Thursday on four-year program to provide 900 million dollars to educate the nations young people, with em- phasis on science and naathemat- ics.
 The compromise measure does not contain a college scholarship provision, which the Senate had voted but which. the House had turned down. It does provide 295 million dollars for student loans.
 Two bills which touched off major fights got the ax Thursday.
 The Senate, after some parlia- mentary maneuvering, killed a measure aimed at preventing the Supreme Court from knocking down state laws not in direct con- flict with federal laws on the same subject.
 The House, after three days of debate, ended a hassle over legislation to subsidize the dom estic minerals industry by kill ing the bill 182-159.

 Thus it appeared that the Lit tie Rock school board failed We'd nesday night to convince the gov ernor it was doing all possible to delay re-entry of seven Negroes into the sprawling high school.
 Mob riots broke out last fall when nine Negroes first entered the high school, and President Eisenhower sent paratroopers to restore order with bayonets.

By TOM HOGE

UNITED NATIONS, NY, R- Dag Hammarskjold prepared to- day to embark on an Arab-spon- sored peace mission to the Mid de East which won unanimous approval from the JUN. General Assembly.
 The Secretary General report edly will be in the trouble area in less than two weeks. It will be his ninth peace-making trip to the area in 29 months.

Yes Votes Needed On All 3 Statehood Propositions
By BOB KEDERICK For Alaska Statehood Comn1itte

Affirmative votes on all three propositions of the Alaska State hood referendum are required ir order for Alaska to fulfill the provisions of. the Statehood Act
The Nome nugget., 1958-08-22

Affirmative votes on all three propositions of the Alaska State hood referendum are required in order for Alaska to fulfill the provisions of the Statehood Act. Majority votes are required on all three propositions.
 If only one or two proposi- tions pass and a third fails to receive a majority vote, the Statehood Act is voided and Al aska has no further opportunity to vote on Statehood.
 The three propositions, while they are worded differently basic ally all can be boiled down to one principal question: Are You In Favor of the Present Territory of Alaska Becoming A State? The three propositions are: No. 1 = Shall Alaska immedi-
 ately be admitted into the
 Union as a State?
 No. 2 - The boundaries of the
 State of Alaska shall be as
 prescribed in the Act of Con-
 gress approved July 2, 1858,
 and all claims of this State
 to any areas of land or sea
 outside the boundaries so
 prescribed are hereby irrevo-
 cably relinquished to the
 United States.
 No. 3 - All provisions of the
 Act of Congress approved
 July ', 1858, reserving rights
 or powers to the United
 States, as well as those pre-
 scribing the terms or condi-
 tions of the grants of lands
 or other property therein
 made to the State of Alaska,
 are consented to fully by said
 State and it's people.
 What do the three propositions mean?
 No. l simply asks the voter if he favors Statehood.
 No. 2 sets out that the bound aries of the State of Alaska shall be exactly as they are now for the Territory of Alaska with no changes.
 No. 3 merely reaffirms the right of the President of the United States to make certain military withdrawls in the event of national emergency, a right he already is able to exercise in all the AS states.
