Planning Commission Completes Plans on Water and Sewage Project

The Nome Planning Coumis- sion which was selected last spring to start long range plan- ming for the improvement and development of the community made thorough study of the needs and found that any and all advancement on any major im- provement, building or otherwise hinged on water and sewage dis posal if financial aid was to be obtained.
 They have spent several months working out and completing the necessary information for the ap plication for the project as out lined by the Municipal Facilities Administration.
 Howard Crinklaw, chairman of the board, while on a business trip to Seattle visited with this group and discussed the need and as a result the application sub- mitted received immediate att tention in it's rough draft.
 Final work on the application has been done by three members of the board, Howard Crinklaw, Carl Glavinovich and Don Hoo yer, so that it now requires only financial and legal data from fho fviAv C1aT-lr for rsf,Yyl4,iption
 Their recommendation to the City Council is strongly worded to expedite this work and get the application in the mail as soon as possible.
 Other members on the board are: Boyd Harwood, Ella Tanner, Bill Gillis, Emily Boucher, Ash Craft and Jerome Trigg.

DORIS FLEEsON
White House Gains Questioned

nedy lieutensnts OBrien and
O'Donnell have tacitly &C
knowledged the existence Of
trouble with a program for
party seminars in eight
major cities.
The weakness Of these is
that the President does not
plan to attend and indeed
has no plans, so far as is
known, to go to the country
at all.
He believes in polls and
polls show him still very
popular. This is normal.
The people who put him in
power less than a year ago
will not admit quickly that
they made a mistake. Ken
nedy is doing his best and
Americans are not such spoil
sports as to blame him for
the chickens coming home
to rooSt which are not his
fault.
Yet the difficulty with
personal popularity is its
large element OF emotional
ism which is so much at the
mercy of circumstance.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-10-02
DAVID LAWRENCE

Former President Truman
has been the recipient of a
good many brickbats in his
day. so credit now should be
given where credit is due.
For he did pick some able
men for the public service.
Yet newspaper reports in the
last few days, in referring to
various appointments by
President Kennedy, have
mentioned only their service
under the Eisenhower admin
istration while emitting that
they were first appointed by
President Truman.
Thus, for example, when
the appointment of John A.
McCone to be head Of the
Central Intelligence Agency
to succeed Allen Dulles was
announced last week, en-
phasis was placed generally
on the point that he had
served as chairman of the
Atomic Energy Commission
under President Eisenhower.
But he also served previously
as deputy to the Secretary of
Defense in 1948 and then as
Under Secretary of the Air
Force during the height of
the Korean War in 1850 and
1851. This is important back
ground and experience for a
man who is chosen to run
the Central Intelligence
Agency during a cold war"
Looking back to the Tru-
man administration, one can
find officials who served i'm
portant posts then who, by
reason Of that same expert
ence, are sppointees today
of the Kennedy administra-
ton. Several of them can
hardly be claSsed as active
Democrats just because they
served under a Democratic
administration.
Thus, Dean Rusk was AS
siStant Secretary of State for
Far Eastern Affairs under
the Truman administration
and held other State Depart
ment posts from 1916 to 1852
except for a year when he
was a special assistant to the
Secretary of War. But he is
not generally regarded as a
political appointee.
Then there's Gen. Lucius
Clay who, when appointed
President Kennedy's special
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-10-02
Able Men He Picked for u. S. Service
Now Being Appointed by Kennedy


representative in Berlin re-
Gently, was referred to in the
press as a Republican and as
a friend of President Eisen-
hover. But it so happens
that, although Gen. Clay was
a deputy commander under
Gen. Eisenhower in 1945, he
also served under President
Truman as commander-in-
chief of United States forces
in Europe and military gov
ernor of the United States
zone in Germany from 1947
to 1949.
Again, when William c.
Foster was named the other
day as director of the new
disarmament agency, empha-
sis was placed on the fact
that he is a Republican. The
experience he had under the
Truman administration, how
ever, was virtually ignored.
For he served as Under Sec
rotary of Commerce from
1916 to 1948 and as admins
traitor of the Economic Co.
Operation Administration in
1850 and 1851 and as Deputy
Secretary of Defense from
1851 to 1953-all this under
the Truman administration.
There are many other of
ficialS appointed by Presi-
dent Kennedy who also
served under President Tru-
man. 1t may be assumed
that they have been APP
pointed to office by Mr.. Ken
nedy not because they were
Democrats, but because they
have had experience in Gov
eminent in particular lines.
Here are some Of the men
President Kennedy has ap-
pointed who served in the
Truman administration:
Roswell L. Gilpatric, for
merly Assistant Secretary
and then Undersecretary of
the Air Force from 1851 to
1868, is today the Deputy
Secretary of Defense.
Thomas K. Finletter, who
was Secretary of the Air
Force from 1850 to 1858, is
now Ambassador to NATO.
James E. Webb, who was
director of the Bureau Of the
Budget from 1916 to 1949
and then Undersecretary Of
State from 1949 to 1852, is
now head of the National

Khrushchev Knows the Answer Is Yes
If Allies Must Defend West Berlin

use the atomic weapon, if it
must come to that. Indeed,
he will not in advance ex-
clude its use against any kind
of clear Soviet aggression
whatever, short. of course. of
bidding acts such as the in
cesSant acknowledgements
of Communist subversion.
So the true peril we now
face is not in any "softness"
in our military determine
ton and capability. 1t is
simply the danger that we
ourselves will somehow, with
that sophomore skepticiSm
so popular in some quarters,
manage to convince Mr..
Khrushchev out Of his pres
ent awareness that for some
things we will go all the way
to nuclear war.
What Mr.. Khrushchev now
knows will not hurt us; far
from it. But if what he now
knowS-which is that we do
have the will to use the big
Weapons changed into
what he no longer knows but
rather doubts. we may be
very hurt, indeed.
irresponsible - and wholly
untrue - speculations that
America will in no circum-
stances go to atomic war
over Berlin" are therefore in
finitely harmful.
So, too, are well-meant
suggestions that the urgent
increases being made in con-
ventional military forces
somehow imply some lesser
reliance upon the ultimate
atomic weapon.
Secretary Mcnamara draws
a diagram on a ten-cent pad
to show the absurdity of this
notion. He pencils a long line
to indicate the total field of
trouble-making open to. the
