IE1HE NOME POST of the American Legion has put
 in a bid to hold convention of the American Legion in Alaska's favorite convention city - Nome, and the Legion today welcomes the commander of Post 19 Joe Briones who arrives today.
 Nome has one of the oldest posts in the State. It organized in 1919 and has been active most of the time since. Two charter members are known to be still alive and both veterans of World War 1. They are George Goshaw of Nome Temporarily siding in Calstoga," and Ralph Lomen of Seattle Legionnaire Goshaw recalls that the first gathering of World War veterans was on the Alaska Steamship Company ship the Northwestern near Ketchikan in January of 1919
 During the past year. Nome has successfully hosted several important conventions, and extends cordial invitation to the American Legion to hold their 1861 convention here. We urge Department Adjutant Brones to visit business groups and learn for himself this communtys capacity for housing and entertain ment and tourist and historic attractions.

State Rights

yTHE UNITED STATES achieved greatness on the l grounds of individual freedom free enterprise and free competition With free enterprise an incentive the United States became the greatest nation in the world
 Alaskans have always had to appeal to Wash ington for any aid as Territory, during the past generation but it start to exore state rights It will be hard to get rid of many of the controls we know, but if we want the kind of independence that is state will have to start studying what state rights and what power belongs to the State of Alaska.
 Our State Legislators have a harder job to perform they in turn must study to preserve these rights They now wel-paid legislators, and must give more of their time the year around to their responsibilities Their job is no longer a trip to Juneau for couple of months every two years They have real job to do and their work will be scruti- nized by the voters

.Khrushchev Tells
 Hungarians Reds Would Scrap War
By ANTHONY PEARCE

BUDAPEST, Hungary, R - Soviet Premier Khrushchev said yesterday that the Soviet Union has a stockpile of rockets with nuclear warheads sufficient to "raze to the ground all our po- potential eenmies."
 But the visiting Premier said the Soviet Union was ready to destroy all these stockpiles at once if a universal disarmament program is adopted"
 The Soviet Union still wants an East-West summit meeting as soon as possible, he told the Con- gress of the Hungarian Commit mist Party, the first since the 1856 anti-Soviet revolt in Hungary.
 Blaming the 1856 Hungarian revolt on the serious mistakes" of the Stalinist leaders of Hun gary at that time, Khrushchev de- clared that nevertheless imperial ist hopes" for the collapse of Communism in this country were dead.
 The Soviet Premier said the proposed East-WeSt summit con- ference must be approached Gin reasonable way, taking account of the wishes of the other parties"
 In this connection, Khrushchev continued, French President Charles De Gaulle's desire to meet with him prior to the sum- init meeting was not unreasonable and perhaps this will make for better understanding at the sum- nit"
 The Soviet leader denied 'for- eion press fa'brications" that the Soviet Union has abandoned the idea of an early summit meeting.
 Khrushchev's visit to De Gaulle is scheduled for the last two weeks in March, which postpones the East-West summit at leat until late April
 A certain relaxation of inter national tension has been brought about, he continued, by the Soviet proposal for total disarmament, Khrushchev's visit to the United States and his meetings with President Eisenhower.
 Khrushchev warned that the Soviet desire for peace is not sign Of weakness. He called once more for an end to the. Western occupation of West Berlin and a German peace treaty.

sembly in Paris and long has been
recognized as a thorn in the side
of French authority.
His leadership of Guinea is un-
disputed and he runs the country
through a one-party system, with
his ruling Parti Democratique de
Guinee rigidly organized into 1000
local committees-one for every
600 men, women, and children.
The party's political bureau un-
der M. Toure's leadership makes
the decisions and the Legislature
is mere rubber stamp.
Certainly M. Toure is no figure
to be ignored, despite the small
ness of his country. His influence
in the rest of French Africa is
far from ended and Guinea might
yet gather about it other French
African republics which may sever
their ties with the French Com
munity.
Thus State Department African
specialists in Washington must be
giving careful thought these days
to the visit M. Toure will be max
ing to Washington, and which
could effect either an improve
ment or deterioration in Guinea s
relations with the West.

and sympathy"
The French, says M. Toure, took
everything from them when they
left and thus Guinea is a poor and
needy country at present. Like
many other prominent Guineans,
he too has the suspicion that
French pressure is preventing the
United States and Britain from
being more generous toward
Guinea than hitherto.
This perhaps partly explains the
anti Western antagonism which
appears to lie just beneath the
surface of official Guinea today.
Diplomatic representatives of the
West, for example, appear to get
far less cordial reception from
ministers and government repre-
sentatives than do those from
Communist countries.
1t is. presumably in this sort
of guarded mood, then, that M.
Toure will be arriving in the
United States. Those close to him
say that the responsibilities of Of
flee in the first difficult days of
independence have wrought great
personal change in him.
Reputedly, the President used to
be gay, fun-loving man fond OF
social engagements. Since early
this year, however, he repeatedly
has become withdrawn and aloof

mel.
Observers close to the scene say
that the President handles an enor-
nous number of administrative
items personally and that on oc-
casion he works for 20 hours al
stretch.
M. Toure's background is that
of a tough but astute trade union
leader who can hold an audience

rican deputy in the French AS

spondent in an interview that
Communist countries have offered
to help him with Guinea's projected
Konkoure hydroelectric scheme for
cheap power and aluminium pro-
duction.
The outlook is further darkened
by the presence among M. Toure's
supporters of men with Commun-
list leanings, as well as French
men who have stayed on as SER
wants of the African administra-
ton and who appear to have highly
leftist views.
On top of all this there is M.
Toure's own studies of Marxist
theory. and his frank admission
that he has adopted Marxism to
Africa's needs.
All, of course, hinges on the
degree of differentiation" of M.
Toure's brand of Marxism and on
his ability to keep Moscow at arms
length.
For himself, he is vehement in
his protestations that he is no
Communist. He is. just as adam
ant that Guinea under his hand
will pursue neutral course, nom
aligned between East and West.
Guinea's independence, won from
the French last year when the
people of Guinea gave M. Toure a
95.4 per cent vote in the refer
endum favoring severance of ties
with France, is too precious, says
M. Toure, to be tossed away for
subservience of Moscow or any
other capital.
How then, does NJ. Toure ex-
plain Guinea's apparent leaning
to date toward the Communist
world? Simply on the grounds
that Guinea is open to assistance
from all quarters and that the
Communists have been more forth
coming to date than the West.

M. Toure, "have taken arms from
the United States as Czechoslo-
vakia. We welcome Western aid

forms of discrimination in assign
ing Negroes to racially segregated
auxiliary locals which have both
penalized Negro workers in terms
Of job limitation and job progress
sion to higher levels Of skill and
wage differentials."
Mr.. Randolph declared that Ne
gro youth cannot get apprentice
training in the skilled trades be-
cause most craft unions bar them.
Here is case of Negro being
unable to get skilled job because
he does not possess skilled train
ing, and he is unable to get skilled
training because he has no spon-
sor in the union," he added.
Mr.. Randolph said that business
and Government are also to blame
for discrimination against Negro
workers.
eff contracts were awarded by
the Government that provide there
shall be no discrimination in en-
ployment policies based on race
or color, and Negro workers are
excluded from jobs by unions COW
cred by the contract, then the en-
ployers are just as responsible for
this condition as the unions that
deny Negroes membership" he
said. "If the Government were
to make it explicit to employers
that unless the non-discriminatory
provision of the contract under
which certain projects are devel-
oped are observed, contracts will
not be awarded them and, if
awarded, will be cancelled, the
employers seeking the said con-
tracts will have no alternative ex-
cept to bow to this nOn-discrimina-
tory policy of the Government or
forfeit the business"
Reverend King appealed to the
group, saying that to deny any
minority honest work and fair pay
is mot only immoral, it is almost
murderous." He said that few
practices are more detrimental to
our national welfare than the
determinations with which the in
dustrial order is rife.
Few practices are more thor
oughly central, yet we must admit
that in the economic area of the
American race problem, the church
has hardly begun to speak," he
declared.
Reverend King said that millions
of whites want to end discrimina-
ton, and that the church must
provide them with spiritual lead
ership and guidance.
precisely because we cannot
induce in love or justice the ero-
sion and decentralization to minor
ity groups that spring from dis
elimination in employment, the
church must be the first segment
in the nation to stand firmly" he
said, mot merely for enunciation
of the moral principle of non-dis-
elimination, but it must also en-
