Visitor Records Vivid Recollection of
 Tourists Picture of Nome, Kotzebue

"We met MT. Boyd Harwood, Nome's druggist, and he invited us to spend. the evening at his home. He showed us slides of the King Islanders home on their is- land. These slides gave us another facet of the lives that visitors don't usually get from seeing the King Islanders summer encanp- ment south of Nome.
 Tt was very interesting to ob- serve the mingling of natives and foreigners fhe latter the whites) in this settlement. Our hotel room overlooked Front Street, and we spent time observing from our lookout
 ''The people we met were very friendly and courteous. I was wishing we could stay longer
 "When leaving for Kotzebue, we were offered a chance to take a bush flight in small Twin Beech craft plane, and were able to see much of the terrain, beautiful in early fall colors.
 'Kotzebue LII a musical sound ing name name that en- ticed us toward the town the mo- ment we read it on the map. This town is the complete opposite of Nome. Here the foreigners stand out like thistles in bed of prize petunias We walked the beach side of the village from one end to the other many times, just watching.
 Sunday evening we attended services in the Episcopal Church. We were the only outsiders. I've never heard more enthusiastic singing of hymns in my life. These people enjoy music.

COLLEGE III A step back sev- eral decades in history is the eff feet Nome had upon Danny Pierce, nationally noted artist now in residence at the Universi- ty of Alaska.
 The famed printmaker is visit ing Native and white communities throughout the 49th State, and the following is his impression of two of the most northwesterly mn Nome and Kotzebue:
 "Our first impressions of Nome and Kotzebue were made over the weekend of August 29, 30 and 31. We had hope in our hearts the weather would favor two new corners - it did
 The sun was shining as we landed at the Nome airport The afternoon was spent getting ac- quainted with the new surround ings.
 ''The first thought that hit me was that I had stepped back in history several decades, and as we were walking down the board walks along the dirt streets, and past the false front buildings, we might conceivably expect to meet Matt Dillon, U. s. marshal
 Another thing I felt immedi- ately was the quietness and un- hurried atmosphere that seemed to settle over visitors. It was an empty street, Nome's Front Street. Empty except for a road construc- ton crew grading, leveling, water ing (the last in spite of all the rain. I was surprised to learn the street was getting black-t topped. Why? There weren't many auto mobiles in evidence.
 Then, that evening, when the ridges of gravel were leveled and the road grader retired for the night, we suddenly found it un- safe to cross Front Street. Vehi- cles of every description came roaring along the graveled road. It seemed every Nomeite owned a car, and all were converging on Front Street.

MT. K. Unable Soften China's
 Attitude To US.
By JOHN RIDERIcK

TOKYO, lR nm Nikita Khrush- chev neared the climax of his Red China visit Saturday as his Chi nese hosts waxed hot and cold over his proposals for easing the cold war.
 A few hours after the Soviet Premier's fourth meeting with 65- year-old Red Chinese leader Mao Tze-Tung, the official Peoples Daily carried a lead editorial say ing the Communist world "ac- corded warm response and sup port" to the communique the So- viet Premier jointly issued with President Eisenhower after his historic 13-day visit to the United States. That document stressed the remuneration of force in set ting international quarrels.
 The United States has sought without success to have Peiping say it will abandon force as 8 means of acquiring the island ot Formosa, now ruled by Macs arch enemy, Chiang Kai-Shek.
 Should the Chinese Commun- ists do so, it would be signifi- cant move in improving their re- lations with Washington.

said after Khrushchev arrived in Peiping Wednesday he welcomed the communique.
 But Fridays Peoples Daily gave equal space to the reprint of an article by Foreign Minister Chen Vi which called an "all people to wage a long and unre- lenting fight against American imperialism"
 The article was written for the Soviet newspaper Izvestia in hon or of Red China's 10th anniver- sary celebration Oct. l. It gave little or no encouragement to hopes Peiping was prepared to soften it's attitude toward the United, States.

 The sets, currently in volume production, include table and con- sole models and are priced com- parably with current 21-inch sets.
 Robert L. Shaw, President of Sylvania Home Electronics Corp, said most sets sold in America within the next year will be in the 23-inch category.
 "The visible value of this new tube needs no explanation" he said. "A 23-second demonstra- ton of this new tube against older versions is all that is neces- sary to see the distinct differ ence."

 Containing 26-square inches more viewable area than smaller 21-inch sets, the new models make viewing easier, pictures clearer and bigger, and cabinets simmer.

It eliminates the external safety plate that now has to be placed in front of the picture tube.

The Price of Hooxino

1t is good to know that Miss Jacque-
line Gay Hart is back at her home in
Short Hills, New Jersey, recovering from
the effects of the impulse that moved
her to vanish mysteriously last week in
manner that led the Nation to fear
she had been kidnapped. Apparently suf-
fering from some emotional upset, the
young bride-to-be created a country
wide commotion until she suddenly
reappeared and confessed, after much
questioning, that her supposedly har-
rowing seizure by couple of thugs had
been purely imaginary, a thing all of
her own doing. She is to be Sympathized
with, but sympathy is owing also to
everybody else affected by her eScapade.
This holds true especially for great
numbers of policemen who devoted hun
dredS OF man-hourS of painStaking, te-
diouS and costly labor to the effort to
find and rescue her-an effort in which
even the Coast Guard collaborated with
one OF its helicopterS. These men must
be pardoned if they resent having been
hoodwinked into going on a fools err
rand. AS Miss Hart herself must know
by now, hoaXeS can be anything but
funny; they can be irritating and un-
nerving in the extreme, and quite ex-
penSive in terms of dollars and cents.

Not Above the Law

A North Carolina judge has set an
example which, if generally followed,
would do great deal to discourage law
less terrorism as strike weapon.
AS an outgrowth of a long and bit
ter strike in Henderson, North Carolina,
eight members of the Textile Workers
Union of America were convicted of
conSpiring to dynamite a cotton mill
Three of the defendants, including the
Carolina director of the TWUA, we're
sentenced to serve six to ten years at
hard labor. The remaining defendants
received shorter but still severe SEN
fences. In imposing sentence, the trial
judge said: Il hope all of you gentlemen
will some day come to understand that
the law is bigger than you, bigger than
the union, bigger than any organiza-
ton"
This is a doctrine which, though
widely preached, is frequently honored
in the breach, especially in communities
where union political power is strong.
1t is an appropriate doctrine, however, in
all cases in which violence is invoked in
aid of strike, and we dare say that it's
application to the Henderson case will
go long way toward suppressing future
strike violence in North Carolina.

Maximum Leader

The reference in Havana last week
end to Fidel Castro as the maximum
leader" of the Cuban revolution was APP
propriate in at least one sense. Never
before, either spontaneously or by ar
rangement, has there been such a
demonstration of hero-worShip in the
Western Hemisphere as that provided by
hundreds of thousands of wildly emo
tional partiSanS as they cheered the less
than surprising announcement that DR..
Castro had agreed" to resume the post
Of Prime Minister. And the bearded
young revolutionary has lived up to the
definition of maximum" in his promises
of virtual Utopia-both economic and
political-to his countrymen.
There remains, of course, the prob
lem of delivering on these promiSeS-of
displaying the maximum" abilities es-
Sential to implementing such extraor-
dinarily difficult programs as the divi-
sion and distribution of farm lands to
peasants who have no capital for their
development, of stimulating industrial
expansion and of otherwise reviving a
national economy that has been under
Standably diSlocated by events of the
recent past. 1t is possible that DR.. Cas-
tro himself does not underestimate the
task, although the popular mood of eX-
hilaration may have bedazzled all who
are sharing in the revolutionary fervor.
AS far as intra- hemisphere rela-
tionShips, and particularly those be-
tween Cuba and the United States, are
concerned, it seems evident that only
time will provide the answers. In his
long address on Sunday, DR.. Castro
spoke briefly in English to send his
greetings to the people of the United
States and to emphasize that his regime
wants 1.-The best understanding and best
relations" At another point, interpreted
by some as an alluSion to the United
States, he warned that 1--WE cannot be
friends with those who offend us, who
insult us and who exploit u.s." His
brother, Major Raul Castro, chief Of the
country'S armed forces, made earlier
references to "hypocritical enemies"
that also were interpreted as directed
at critics in the United States.
Whatever is in store, it appears that
the revolution has survived its Honey
moon" on high note of popular ac-
ceptance and that its greatest test now
will come in the day-to-day living with
and struggle with-the proposed eco
nomlc and social reforms. The for
mer. particularly, will bear Importantly
on Cuba'S relationship with the United
States. DR.. Castro's further qualifica-
lions as the maximum leader" of his
country may depend in large measure
on his future contributions to this rela-
tionShip.

If imitation is to be stop

the Federal budget and re-
duce the national debt, now
approaching $500 billion.
A Nationwide lottery, au-
thoriZed by Congress, and

would yield SIS billion, or
more, to the Treasury each
year it was in operation.
Nothing would do more to
restore confidence in the dol

No one would be obligated

would benefit, as the debt

Rift in Geneva

The reports from Geneva of a
breach in the Big Three front are firm
enough to command serious attention.
But there is no reason to suppose, as far
as we can see, that essential Western
unity is going to be destroyed.
Britain'S Selwyn Lloyd is said to feel
that the Russian proposal on West Ber-
lin is the best that can be obtained at
this time, and that it should be condi-
tionally accepted. The proposal amounts
to an 18-month truce offer, during
which time the Russians would not take
any unilateral action against West Ber-
lin, and at the end of which negotiations
might be resumed. Mr. Lloyd'S condition
is that Mr.. Gromyko for the time being
drop his demand for direct reunification
negotiations between East and West
Germans.
Secretary Herter, repeatedly with
French support, is taking the position
that the West must yield nothing in
West Berlin in the face of Soviet threats,
even if this means that there will be no
summit meeting, and that the least
which the United States can accept is a
pledge from the Russians, with no time
limit attached, to refrain from any
actions which interfere with or abridge
Western occupation rights in Berlin.
This does not strike us as the kind
OF difference which is going to seriously
impair Western unity. All three capitals
London, Paris and Washington
know this cannot be permitted to hap
pen. A more serious question, perhaps, is
the effect that even small breach will
have on the Russians. Mr.. Khrushchev's
terms certainly will get sitter if he
thinks the West is splitting apart or
can be split apart.

Welcome Porkwoy Suit

A shadow of doubt has fingered for
years over the Districts legal authority
to build much-needed limited access
parkway through Glover Archbold Park.
And it has seemed inevitable that the
courts eventually would be asked to
clear up the question once and for all.
Now that the District is on the verge
OF proceeding with construction, there
fore, it is we'll that its right to do so
has been contested in a court suit by
Mrs. Anne Archbold, who dedicated a
portion of the proposed right-of-way to
the public IS years ago last month.
The suits contention is a simple
one. 1t argues that the 28-acre Arch
bold tract was dedicated specifically as
a part of the park system of the Dis
trlct of Columbia, and that this pur-
pose would be subverted by using part
of it for highway. To what degree,
however, can such dedication bind
government, particularly in view of
changing public land requirements over
the years? 1t is complex questions such
as this with which the court will be
dealing.
There also are non-legal aspects of
the parkway controversy which should
be explained by officials in order to de-
termine fully the public interest in the
matter. What, for example, are the
alternatives if the parkland cannot be
used? Would the use of a District
owned right-of-Way through the park
area be more disruptive of community
values?
These questions are important be-
cause impressive evidence has been pro-
duced on the need for a limited access
road somewhere in the Glover -Archbold
region to link upper Wisconsin and
Massachusetts, avenues with a new ex-
preSSWay along the Potomac River near
Key Bridge. Such link is an essential
part of the plan proposed by expert
conSultantS in the recent Mass Trans
portation Survey. The courts will de-
cide, of course, whether the parkway
plan worked out with Federal park Of
f1cialS decade ago can be followed. If
it can't, some other scheme may still be
necessary in order to bring a four-lane
road through the same general area.

white line" lord help you,
should you step over this
line. as you might obtain
more floor space than you
paid for. Thus, if you are
ever tempted to call our
local buses rolling pigStys,
you could not be in more
serious error, since only a
regulated number of pigs
can occupy a railroad car or

Not only may our four

tive comfort in their trips,
but. by enforceable regula-
tionS, these friends have Sc
times the amount of floor
space allotted to them that

Therefore, it is apparent
that if there is no regulation
allotting floor space per
person, by a Federal agency
having jurisdiction ever this
travel, it is needed. If, how
ever, there is such a regula-
ton, it would appear that it
is not being followed by my
shipper or it is not enforced
