GOVERNMENT AND AUCTIONS

Every so often government property is
offered for sale to the public. The cases
of this kind are rare in any one area but,
in some part of the county, the govern
ment is disposing of land or preparing to
dispose of it practically all of the time.
This land is sold by competitive bid
and this is we'll and good. But when the
land is turned over to private auctioneers,
the results are not always desirable. AS
matter of policy, the federal government
should conduct its own sales-so that the
methods followed will be strictly in line,
and standard operating procedure.
In the first place. the people from
whom the government bought the land have
a first right to reacquire it. In the second
if there is to be an auction, it should be
held by government officials, who can
either accept sealed bids above a certain
minimum or allow bidding, above certain
minimum.
We are discussing federal land sales
as a matter of general policy and no speci
fic sale. They should be handled in digni-
fled, Unconditional and business-like manner.
They are not vaudeville, nor comedy, but
business, and the peoples business, and
there is no justification for sales by any
method other than government-handled sal
sponsible for what goes on at the sales.

IKE IN ACTION
Former President Dwight d. Eisenhow-
ser has surprised some with his active and
partisan roe-in trying to rebuild the Re-
publican Party. The former President de-
hvered the main speech at a $100-a-plate
dinner in Washington the other night and
he seemed to be more enthusiastic about
the COP. than he ever demonstrated as
President of the United States.
The main theme of attack of the form
er President was his charge that the
Kennedy Administration was proposing
stronger and stronger centralized govern
ment. And Mr.. Eisenhower said no one
could be for more individual freedom and
more centralized government at one and
the same time.
The Presidents vigorous assault on the
Kennedy Administration was warmly re-
ceived by Republicans and the World War
III hero seemed to enjoy the whole thing.
Some even compared his behavior to a
degree, to that of former President Harry
Truman.
Mr.. Eisenhower has a sound principle
in mind when he opposes bigger and bigger
government. There are so many dangers in
more and more centralized government
there is little need to list them here. And
it seems inevitable that the Kennedy Ad-
ministration will make the federal govern
ment more and more powerful and central
lied.

BLUE LAWS WIN
The United States Supreme Court ham
ded down series of decisions which up
held so called "blue laws" in four states.
The laws were passed in an effort to curb
business activity on Sunday, and have been
under growing attack for many years, on
the ground that they limit the freedom
of the individual, and constitute recogni-
tion of a religion.
AS in the case with so many things,
there are reasonable blue laws and there
are ridiculous ones, which are fossilized
mummified hangovers from another era.
The ridiculous ones range all the way from
laws forcing restaurants to close on Sun
days and preventing rail travel, to less
restrictive ones.
There is a good argument to the effect
that the majority in democratic society
can decide that businesses should be closed
on Sunday and make it unlawful for those
who do not agree, or for those whose re-
ligion delegates some other day as the day
of rest, and want to operate on Sunday.
The unmistakable trend in recent years
has been toward allowing more individual
freedom. And that has meant the operation
of some establishments on Sunday, which
in past years did not open. This has caused
criticism, but the policy also has its defend
ers.
Laws, as prohibition proved, are only
enforceable as long as they are reasonable
and are supported by a large percentage of
the people. And the only reason many of
the mosscovered blue laws are not enforced
today is because the people do not want
them enforced.

Truth or Consequences

Yesterday morning at II o'clock the editor of the Nome Nugget, the editor of the leading Homo lulu newspaper and the editor of the Mexico News were connected by phone to the Truth or Conse- quences" television show origin ating in Los Angeles to verify the temperatures in these three localities for the contestants on the show.
 The winner of the contest guessed the Mexico temperature of 73 degrees exactly right, but was one degree off on the Homo lulu temperature which was 78 degrees and ten degrees off on the Nome temperature, having guessed 38 when it should have been 28. She won $75.
 Commentator for the show was Bob Barker. Jim Chadwick, who was formerly with the Alaska Tourist Assn, is also with the show.

Commerce Dept. Seizes Illegal Shipments to Cuba

WASHINGTON R - A Com snerce D Department official told the Senate Internal Security Sub- committee Tuesday that more than half a million dollars of il- legal shipments intended for Cuba have been seized recently.
 Dr. Jack Behnnan, Deputy As sitant Secretary of Commerce for international affairs, said an in- tensive drive is being made to en- force the embargo on trade with the Fidel Castro regime.
 Under the ban, only medicines and food may be shipped to the island.
 Sen. Kenneth Heating raised the question. He said he had a letter from New York trading com pany stating that it was we'll known there that Cuban repre- sentative was buying emlbargoed items and was paying with checks on Canadian bank.
 Behr1nan asked Heating for names and promised to look into the case immediately. He said Il was possible this man already had been arrested. A number o1 prosecutions are under way in similar instances, he testified.
 Behrman said the United States now buys only tobacco, fruits and vegetables from Cuba. Purchases of those items totaled $30 mil lion last year, he said.

Letter To The Editor

The National Junior Chamber of Commerce is carrying on g traffic safety and public educa- ton program on traffic safety throughout the nation. We of the local chapter have decided to do the same here. As member of the committee studying our own problems, I am at complete loss at where to start.
 Beyond any doubt, our chief traffic problem is drunkeness both on the part of drivers and on the part of pedestrians. Even one drink of alcoholic fluids can slow persons reflexes to the ex- tent that he is potentially dan gerous.
 Next after alcohol: The condi- ton of some of the automobiles running around our streets is de- plorable. There are cars that actually fall apart on the streets. This at times is amusing, how ..ssver, it Is food for thought when you see car with the tierod fal- len off or one with a wheel that has fallen off. There is no excuse for this. if the owner exercises even reasonable care and main tenance. Besides the cases where outright mechanical breakdown, faulty steering gear, we have many cars running around with no windshield wipers, tsone even without windshields), faulty light ing equipment, tsome have been without lights for years), and faulty brakes, tsome have no brakes at alb. AS we talk to each other, we laugh about these things. How stupid can we be When you stop to think about it, it is absolutely amazing that we haven't killed more people around here. Kids play iil the streets completely disregardin, even the chance that cars may b. coming along. Pedestrians eros Front Street, jaywalking and dart

 up to 5000 lbs. Some of tn

FaIlout Backfires On Soviet Union

WASHINGTON R = The So- viet Union is getting a backfire of radioactive fallout from it's mammoth nuclear explosion, US. Weather Bureau scientists re- ported.
 They said the fallout was car ried on winds blowing south to southeast over the USSR.
 The massive blast, triggered Monday in the atmosphere over the Novaya Zemlya region in the Arctic, may have been the 50-megaton explosion that Soviet Premier Khrushchev had an- nounced. But the US. Atomic Energy Commission said it doubts the detonation was that big.
 The AEC said the blasts yield twas very high, possibly as high as 50 megatons." But it added that preliminary analysis 'indi- cates it was more probably on the order of 30 megatons."
 
 There has been no word from the Soviet Union on the explosion. But either size it was the biggest irlan-made explosion in history. A 30-megaton bomb re- leases energy equivalent to 30 million tons of TINT. It would carry more punch than all the previously announced 21 tests in the current Soviet series. The largest previous Soviet test was estimated at about 10 megatons The biggest us. nuclear test has been reported at Is to 20 mega tons.
 Robert List. Chief of the Weather Bureaus atmospheric radioactivity project, said the So viet Union would get more ot the immediate fallout" from the explosion than other areas. Since 1t was likely the bomb
 was fired high in the atmo. sphere, List said only a smal fraction of the fallout would sif
 down immediately. that the great CT portion of it would be sucked
 Unto the stratosphere and would
 come down perhaps next spring But considering the size of tn,
 blast, said List, the amount Q radioactive debris blowing ovel Soviet farms, villages and towns would be appreciable.
 Two US. scientists said, how ever, that in the iong run thu United States will get most o ] the fallout.
 In Rochester, NY, physicis Ralph Lapp said 'sbecause of tn, latitude at which tfsy test, w, get most of the xsllcslt from ths Russian bcsaesss
