 A home economics teacher has been employed for the coming yead. It is the desire of the Nome School Board to develop this pro- gram as fully as possible.
 The school has become a center of much community activity. This is desirable, and in keeping with the school policy, but increased use of school facilities has also increased school operational costs. The Board is studying the present schedule of fees chargd for public use of school facilities, and anti cipates that changes in these fees will be necessary to meet ex- penses.

Arctic Harbor Hoped for Within Two Years
By JACK STILLMAN

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, LR - Dr. Edward Teller said yesterday he is hopeful that an atomic explo- sion designed to blast huge arti- ficial harbor in Alaska will be carried out within two years.
 The project designed to blast a harbor on the northern coast of Alaska at Cape Thompson is a phase of Operation Plowshare - the peaceful use of atomic energy.
 "Operation plowshare is a dream which must come true, ' Teller said in an interview. He is among a number of scientists at tending the undiscovered earth" conference sponsored by Southern Research Institute.
 Teller said the peaceful uses of atomic energy embodied in mans mind are beginning to take form in planning stages.
 He said initial tests in the pro posed Alaskan explosions already are underway. We have the money for these initial tests, and we are hopeful that the entire project will be completed within two years," he said.
 Teller is director of the Radia- ton Laboratory of the University Of California
 He said the actual size of the proposed Alaskan explosions has not been determined but added there is possibility that the blast would consist of five simultan- eous explosions, representing the equivalent of 100000 tons of TINT.

School Board Adjusts Budget To Meet
 Cuts Imposed By City Council Action

The Nome Schol Board met on Tuesday evening to adjust the school budget to meet the cut inn posed on the school district by the recent City Council action.
 The City's share of the school budget, as requested for the 1959 1860 schol year, was $69,725.50.
 The amount granted and ap- proved by the Nome City Council was $63,OOO, or a cut in the budget of $6,725.5O.
 Last year the amount granted and approved by the Council was $64,748.80, which means that the expenditures for the coming school year will have to be $1,748.80 less.
 It was pointed out at the Board meeting that cutting of $6,725.50 from the budget for the year could deprive the schol district and the community of a total of over $20,- 900, with which the school district could be reimbursed from state funds, for the community get a 75 per cent matching fund from the state
 The total school budget for 1959-196O. is S263,65O. Last year the approved budget was $751; 778.8O.
 Faced with a known increase of at least 50 first grade children, and with increased costs in the school operation, including teach CTS automatic salary increases, the Board has been forced to slash $2,OOO from the Hot Lunch Fund, which may seriously impair the operation of this program for the coming year.
 A cut of $2.425 has been made in the educational equipment fund which means curtailment of equip ment necessary to meet pupils neds.

Boston Bomb Injures B, Shatters Transit Depot

BOSTON, tR Investigators today inclined to the theory a psychopath planted an explosive device which shattered an ele vated train station yesterday in turing 38 persons, three seriously.
 They also sought picture of man who was accused of having threatened to bomb Cuban leader Fidel Castro when the latter wis tied this country recently. The man reportedly fled New York's Bellevue City Hospital.
 The picture will be shown to victims and to others who were in the area when the device K ploded about pm. Thursday.
 Three agencies, Boston police, state detectives and the Boston Fire Department are investigating,
 The FBI, which had agents on the scene Thursday, indicated that at present it had no active interest. Normally the FBI would not be involved officially unless there was a suspicion of a subversive act.
 Massachusetts General Hospital spokesmen reported improvement in the condition of the three most seriously injured. Although the names of all three were on the danger list, none was reported in a dying condition.
 Police probing through the ruins found six dry-cell batteries near some shattered fragments of the metal lockers.
 They said the batteries were covered with a sulphide residue, indicating they were part of a bomb. They said the bomb might have been activated by an on coming train.
 Two detectives said tests by police chemists of bits of the wveckage and parts of a smashed locker indicated a bag of powder weighing 20 to 25 pounds caused the explosion.
 They said the bomb went off with the explosive force of a 500- pound Air Force bomb of World War II.
 The blast blew apart the big 58- year-old pagoda-type waiting room on the elevated station of the metropolitan Rapid Transit Au- thority.

Cromyko Wants Summit Meet, Regardless
By JOHN HIGHToWER

GENEVA, tR - Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko opened drive in the Big Four conference today to break the Western-made link between the present meet ing of foreign ministers and later summit conference.
 Gromyko's attack could fore shadow a final refusal by the So- viet Union to yield on it's West Berlin demands, even under heavy Western pressure.
 In effect, Gromyko argued that even though there was failure here to ease the Berlin tension and make progress toward East West agreement, there should be a summit meeting anyway. Presi- dent Eisenhower has said he would not attend a heads of gov- ernment meeting under such con ditions, and at the moment that is basic Western policy.
 The Western powers demanded that Moscow stop threatening them with separate East German peace treaty, and get back to ne- gotiations for ending the. West Berlin crisis.
 At the outset, Gromyko dis played readiness to soften the bite but not to pull the teeth of the Soviet campaign to force U. s. British and French garrisons out of the divided city.
 Gromyko assured the Western powers that he had not intended his proposal for the one-year dead- line on the Western occupation of West Berlin as an ultimatum. He said he could not understand what all the excitement was about. He urged the Western ministers to stop using the terms dictate and u1tinatum.
 Herter and his Western col leagues, who have declared the conference to be on a day-to-day basis now, carried their onslaught against Soviet proposals for an interim Berlin settlement through the final three-hour session of the fifth week.
 They have threatened to break off next week unless the Soviets pull diplomatic retreat over the weekend.

On snowy winter morning two years ago,
a blond, cherubfaced little girl in Montclair,
N. j., came down with virus pneumonia. She
recovered within week, but her brief illness
had one astounding result that will profoundly
affect the lives of thousands of children and
may significantly contribute to lessening of
tension between East and West.
Because of the little girls illness, for the
first time in history fully American-built
hospital is being constructed behind the Iron
Curtain in Poland. 1t is pediatric hospital,
devoted to the care of children and to research
in chiIdren's diseases. When completed, it
will have the distinction of being the most
up-to-date center of pediatric research in
Europe.
Here is the record of one of the warmest
stories of the year and the fascinating details
of how the project began:
A history in q hurry
Wladek Poray- -Biernacki is a good-looking
man in his early thirties. Born in Poland, he
first came to the US. with his parents in 1927
and became us. citizen some years later.
He was visiting in Poland in 1889 when Hitler
attacked. Wladek joined the Polish Army,
fought the invader, was taken prisoner and
later escaped to fight again in the Middle East
and Italy. He married Polish girl he met
while on leave from the Polish Army Corps in
Venice. After the war he obtained degree in
architecture at London University in England,
then returned to New Jersey with his wife. He
opened an Office in New York and rapidly
became highly successful designer of shop
ping centers, department stores, schools and
hospitals.
When their daughter Krysia was born, the
couple settled in MontcIair in a large, comfort
able white house with garden.
Biernacki's business was prospering and
most men in his place would never have given
thought to the past But the young architect
was never able to forget for long the image OF
dismal conditions in Poland described to him
in letters from family and friends.
