COP Committee Recommends US. Foreign Policy of Peaceful Liberation For Peoples Under Red Domination

part of the Republican party's 1852 platform, but which admin istration foreign policy pro- nouncements have soft-pedaled in recent years. The committee, how ever, was careful to qualify it's liberation proposal with the words "peaceful'' and "nonvio- lent"
 The group, called the Commit tee on Program and Progress, also endorsed a proposed international agreement for the demilitariza- ton of outer space.
 Its 8,500-word report on 'Na- tional Security and Peace" made public by the Republican National Committee, is comprehensive statement on foreign and defense policies, recommended as guide lines for future party planning.
 In the foreign affairs field, the report favored CD progressive shifting of foreign economic aid from government grants to pri- vate investments and loans, CD conditional trade with Communist states that will "help thaw the cold war;" and (3) creation of an emergency military force by the United Nations in the event of crisis.

Nome Chamber Meeting News

A letter from the Nome P.-T.A was read at the VIVA Chamber of Commerce meeting Monday, re- questing support to permit the Public Health Service dentist to accept private patients and give dental service to anyone needing it in areas where there is no regular dentist, which is the pre- sent situation in Nome
 During discussion it was brought out that the PHS dentist is permitted to give emergency care to anyone, but is restricted to giving such emergency care;
 That permission for the PHS dentist to accept private patients, would largely decrease oppor- tunities for private dentist, and make it difficult to obtain one for this area.
 The opinion of the majority of the Chamber members was for IIlC N~Ilol1lOC1 IO COI1C6IlIl US efforts on attempting to secure a private dentist
 The Chamber took up the prob lem facing the Nome School as result of the closure of various BIA schools, particularly the re- cent closing of the King Island school. A committee, composed of Lester Bronson, George Bayer, and Lloyd Sundstrom, was ap- pointed to investigate the matter. The committee was directed to secure definite figures and infor- nation covering the period from the time the Nome BIA School was turned over to the City, to the present time The information is to be ready for visit by BIA officials in two or three weeks. MT. Pratt and Max Penrod were named as such officials.

that it is to the holders adj
vantage to wait until after
those dates to convert.
AS the company pays divi-

the debenture holders can wait
until after collecting semian-
nual interest on May ! or No

While debentures can be con-
verted tomorrow, April /. hold
ers will lose their six months

less they wait until after May l.

vising customers to wait.
