istration today would think that
the only thing that mattered was
balancing the financial budget. I
suggest that once in a while this
Administration consider the i'm
portance of balancing our moral
budget.
And I regret to report that the
record Of Congress Is little better.
THE UNSUPPORTED COURT
In 1947 President Truman's
Civil Rights Committee said, THE
time for action is now" It is
twelve years later and except for
the Civil Rights Act Of 1857, pared
down under threat Of Senate fill
buster to avoid any support what
ever for the desegregation decis-
ions, the Congress has done moth
ing to balance the moral budget.
I know all the arguments being
used against Presidential and Con-
gressionaI action in support of the
desegregation decisions.
Let us be patient and take
things slowly, say the standpat-
tiers. But five years have elapsed
since the desegregation decisions
and Congress has failed to take
one single step to support the
Court.
There is still discrimination in
the North, say the standpatters,
so why talk about segregation in
the South. No, we're not perfect
up North - far from 1t.
Above all, argue the standpat-
tiers, a change in the hearts Of men
will have to occur before the prob
lem Of segregation will be solved.

Moonlight Enhances
 Halverson Skating Party

From Nome's historic beaches, once teeming with miners of gold rush days, was gathered beach, wood for a roaring, blazing camp fire, built on the shore of Halvor- sons Pond, where a skating party was held last Friday from 7:30 to 11:3O pm.
 The setting of the evenings en- tertainment was ideal. A quarter moon on the low southern horizon lent a mellow glow of light, and when it set in the southwestern sky, the myriads of brilliant stars overhead was light sufficient for the skaters below. A hay light from the northern lights aug mented the light from the stars.
 The blazing fire made of beach, wood, oil and coal, was source of good cheer to all. It gave com fort to the tired skater, and was a common gathering place for all. Shouts of happy voices and the keen cutting sound of the skate blade was sufficient music for the occasion.

Island Eskinos to Become Citizens
 In Rites Today

 banks flew to Gambell today to hold naturalization ceremony for Russian Eskimos on the island.
 On his return, he will hold court here and return to Fairbanks on Wednesday.
 Accomanying Judge Forbes on Dick Gallaher's plane to the is- land were: Eugene Balland, law clerk; Don Harvey of the Immi- grafton Office in Anchorage; Joe Kroninger, Clerk of the Court at Nome; Mary Diede, and M. J. Walsh.
 Two native women, sisters, who arrived in Alaska from Siberia in a skin boat, will receive their U. s. citizenship. The ceremonies will take place in Gambell.
 Doris Uglowook, who is about Al years old, was born in Siberia and came over the icy Boring Straits with her sister and other mefbers of the family in a skin boat around 1922. Mrs. Uglowook has six children and lives in Gambell.
 Cora Iya, the sister, lives in Savoonga, about 40 miles east of Gambell and will travel to the ceremonies by dog sled. Mrs. Iya, who has nine children, is about 55 years old. The family lived in Siberia before their trek to America.
 According to Don Harvey, of the Immigration Office in An chorage, the two women are pos sibly the only residents of St. Lawrence Island left who have to be naturalized. Their mother is not a citizen, but she is over 100 years old, and doesn't under stand the English language well enough to qualify. He said five or six natives were naturalized there last year.
 Clarence Irragoo, radio operator for Alaska Airlines on the island, is the chief instigator in seeing that his people get their citizen ship. He is the town baker as well as radio operator.
 Gambell Village has popula- tion of 360 people - 60 families. The island people still make their living as natives of old. They live by hunting whales and seal, and carving ivory.
 Assisting Judge Forbes will be Eugene Belland, law clerk accom- panying him to the island.
 Upon their return to Nome the judge will officiate at another naturalization ceremony. This one is for Sister Yvonne Louise Der ton who came to this country from France. She is with the nuns order of the Little Sisters of Jesus. This ceremony will be held at 9:3O am. Tuesday.

garage with the money
and giving it to two ac-
completes. He was charged
with grand larceny.
The accomplices, from

The 49-year-old physicist de-
clined to take over as director

the payroll Of a Government
contractor.
He had planned to continue
drawing an estimated $40, 900
a-year salary from the Convair
Division Of General Dynamics
Corp, where he is director Of
scientific research. He would
have received no salary from

and I turned my back for q

were shots. Then I turned and
saw Nagey grabbing his
stomach and shouting, I'm
shot!'
