Operation Santa Claus

The Navy Communications Sta- ton at Kodiak, both officers and other members of Inc orenniza- ton, played Santa Claus to needy families In Nome yesterday.
 Headed by the Commanding Officer of the group from Kodiak, It. C. E. Loornis, and with the assistance of the US. Coast Guard Air Detachment who sup piled the transportation through cooperation of Commander Chet Richmond, these Santa helpers tried to arrive on Christmas Day.
 Since they were unable to come on Christmas Day they decided to come the day after Christmas and give toys and clothing to families that needed extra help.
 Distribution was made at the ANG Armory under the super ed by MT. and Mrs. Roy Conklin.
 In addition to the clothing and toys, about $150 was given to be used for some worthwhile proj- ect. After consultation here, 1t was announced that the money would be put in the ANG public address system fund which will serve the entire community in it's civic gatherings. With this contribution there will be enough in the fund to purchase the equipment immediately.

Emergency Numbers

Persons having telephones will find enclosed in their December statements red sticler which is 10 be mounted on all telephones with the Fire and Police Depart ment phone numbers. These have been supplied by the city of Nome to be used in emergencies.
 Tn a recent fire, when a small child was burned to death. there was some delay due to the new numbers not being familiar. The phone company in making sur vey found out that very few people knew the emergency num- bers. Every minute saved in call- ing the Fire Department means less property loss and may some time mean the saving of life also, so everyone is urged to use the stickers on their phones.

Strenqthen-Don't DESTROY

The commercially vigorous stand
which nine-member minority of the
Davis committee has taken against
Representative Davis ill-advised Juve-
nile Court bill is soundly based. The
group is right in declaring that "the
Time has come E. not to DESTROY the
Juvenile Court but to strengthen it."
And the Davis bill to transfer functions
OF the court to the Municipal Court,
and especially to reduce from 18 to 16
the age limit Of Juveniles brought before
1t, would certainly tend to wreck, not
aid, the vital tribunal.
The bipartisan minority of the Is
member House District Committee is
composed of Representatives Morrison
Of Louisiana, Dawson of Illinois, Multer
OF New York, Burke Of Kentucky,
Cohelan Of California, st. Germain of
Rhode Island, Auchincloss of New
Jersey, Nelson of Minnesota and Weis
OF New York. They said in their report:
we. do not know of one competent
authority who indorseS this (the Davis)
proposal" They urged, instead, what
most competent authorities have
recommended-the addition of two
judges to the present one-judge court,
so that the diSgraceful accumulation
Of untried cases can be wiped out and
operations of the court put on cur
rent basis.
The minority members were par
ttcularly critical of the Davis plan for
lowering the age at which juveniles
may be brought within the jurisdiction
Of adult courts. AS the minority report
stressed, the law now permits the
Juvenile Court to waive jurisdiction to
higher criminal courts in flagrant
Juvenile crimes. To send all juvenile
offenders Of Is or over to adult criminal
courts would be tragic mistake.
We hope Congress will heed the
House District Committee minority and
the Senate District Committee in their
support OF an improved Juvenile
Court-one with enough judges on the
bench to cope with the rush of cases
which now swamp Judge Ketcham and
his staff. And we hope the age limit
for juvenile trials will be kept at the
present level. The real battle for these
objectiveS is apt to take place in the
House-and the chances for success in
that battle have been greatly improved
by the fortnight revolt of the House
District minority

GombIinq-To 'Mockery'

Further evidence-on a most i'm
preSSive Scale-of the failure of the
Governments boldly conceived but un-
enforced gambling-tsx law has been
presented to Senator McClellan'S In
veStigations subcommittee. The odds
were against this noble experiment"
from its start 10 years ago, for no
special provision was made for enforce
ment Of the registration and stamp
plan. And it was safe bet that few
professional gamblers would cooperate
in making the law effective. It should
occasion no surprise, therefore, to learn
from Internal Revenue Commissioner
Mortimer M. Capln that billions in
gambler income taxes and tax stamps
are being evaded every year.
Estimating that Americans wager,
legally and illegally, some $25 billion a
year, Mr.. Caplin pointed out that
last year the Treasury received only
S7,317,000 from the gambling taxes
While sponsors Of the law never con-
tended that full compliance would be
possible, they had predicted revenues
OF around $400 million from the tax
scheme. Perhaps such return might
have been realized If the IRIS had been
given the extra staff and funds which
it had warned would be required to
enforce the law to any appreciable
degree. AS it is, the subcommittee was
told that it has cost the Government
more to administer the statute than
has been collected from the gamblers
who have agreed to pay the tax
Without an adequate means of en-
forcing the law, the Government can
only hope that the gamblers will risk
local prosecution by publicly registering
their names and places of business-as
they must do when they buy the $50
gambling tax stamp and pay 10 per
cent tax on income. Last year, however
only 9,178 gamblers in the entire
country took the risk-presumably be-
cause they felt reasonably safe from
arrest or prosecution for violating local
anti gambling ordinances.
Chairman Mcclellan correctly
summed up the situation when he de-
clared it to be "a mockery" to keep the
gambling tax on the books unless 1t is
to be enforced. And it has become
obvious that enforcement is impossible
with present IRIS facilities. We repeat
what we have said editorially in the
paSt-either the IRIS should be given
the additional Investigators and money
needed to enforce the law or 1t should
be repealed.

in the next two or three years. What It
promises to do is to keep every part of
the globe, including that part still held
captive and hidden behind the Iron Cur
tain, constantly, completely, nakedly ex-
posed to all-seeing mechanical TV eyes
incredibly powerful cameras capable
of photographing, with extraordinary
clarity, from distances Of many hun
dredS of miles, planes, missiles and even
smaller objects on the ground.
In view of the furtive and sinister
nature of their closed society, Nikita
khruShchev and his co-conSpirators
understandable take a dim view of this
prospect, and so they have reSorted to
rather absurd propaganda in describing
the flights of TiroS and Midas as a kind
of crime against humanity. But the
flights are extremely high, of course, and
international law most definitely does
not support the seeming contention Of
the Russians that Moscow is sovereign in
space all the way up to in1nity.
In short, this Soviet argument is
open to effective rebuttal, especially
because the Russians undoubtedly are
working on "spy-in- -the-sky" project of
their own. Their capability along that
line has been Spectacularly demon
Strated by Major Titovs epic orbital

Space and the Curtain

Red Star, the newspaper that speaks
for the Soviet Defense Ministry, has
unleashed an angry attack on two of
the excellent American satellites that
are at present orbiting the earth, and
passing over territory of the USSR.
Both Of these instruments were
launched successfully last July H. One
OF them is Tiros III, meteorological
device whose televiSion equipment is
sending back pictures of cloud forma-
3ons and the like. 1t is meant to be the
forerunner of bigger and more elaborate
satellites with which our country hopes
to cooperate with the rest of the world,
including Russia, in dealing effectively
and proftably with the weather.
The other instrument Is something
else again. Weighing $500 pounds, it is
the Midas III, and its purpose, as it's
name implies, is to help bring about the
development of Missile Defense Alarm
System in which complex of orbiting
vehicles-each equipped with SensorS--
would give swift warning of rockets be-
ing launched for an attack on our coun-
try. This satellite Is currently in polar
orbit at an altitude of $50 miles, and
itmoves over Soviet territory once every
three days.
AS far as Tiros is concerned, it is
difficult to understand why Red Star has
assailed it as a weapon of espionage
and aggression. True enough. the device
transmits pictures that could conceiv-
ably be Of some military value, but its
prime function is to serve as meteor
illogical mechanism In an undertaking
that should have Soviet cooperation.
Midas, on the other hand, is frankly an
lntelligence-Seeking instrument designed
to help develop effective safeguards
against surprise rocket attack, and so
the Russian assault on it Is not surpris-
ing in view of the KremlinS almost
pathological devotion to secrecy.
Beyond all this, when it comes to
military implications, we are in the pro-
cess Of developing, along with Midas
Project SamoS. The hope is that this will
begin operating with full effectiveness

severe pain reactions in some
patients. Also the prepara-
ton is not sufficiently stable.
Other studies have indi.
Gated that certain radio
active isotopes OF the So
called rare earth" elements
- lutetium, holmium and
yttrium-sre potentially use
full in irradlating specific
sites of malignant growths.
They become concentrated in
the lymphatic vessels and
nodes draining the particular
region of the body in which
they are administered.
One Big Handicap
This has led to an evaluA-
tion Of direct administration
into lymph glands of expert
mental animals Of radio
active gold and chloride.
These materials have shown
a strong tendency to irradiate
Selectively many Of the
lymph nodes along the paths
of drainage. Proper combina-
ton Of chemical prepare zion,
dose volume and administra-
ton rate may provide a prac-
tical basis for this kind of
treatment.
A great handicap is the
unavailsbility Of some Of the
proper isotopes which have
very short lives. New and
faster methods are being de-
vised to produce these iso-
topes.

To Complete the Pact

Only one more legislative step is
needed to complete ratification of the
Maryland Virginia agreement on fishing
rights in the Potomac River. This is
the approval by Congress of compact
already Endorsed by the General AS
SemblieS of the two States. Since the
only opposition to the proposed pact has
come from watermen in Maryland, it is
encouraging that Governor Tawes of
that State has taken the lead in moving
to obtain congressional action, possibly
at this session.
The compact would replace one
drawn up in 1875, under which in recent
years there has been almost constant
pickering between Maryland and Vir-
ginia over commercial fishing in the
river. When, two years ago, the Mary
land General Assembly sought to repu-
diate the pact by unilateral action,
Virginia charged in Supreme Court
suit that the So-called abrogation was
illegal. The court, obviously reluctant
to preside over a battle between the
States that threatened to be heated
and prolonged, assigned retired Justice
Stanley Reed to try for a settlement Of
the dispute out Of court. The proposed
new compact was the result. 1t would
give Virginia broader fishing privileges
and provide for joint enforcement of
restrictions.
Southern Maryland watermen lost
their fight in the Assembly to defeat
the pact, whereupon they forced a
referendum Of the voters on the issue.
The voters overwhelmingly approved
the agreement. Then the watermen
challenged the validity of the reteren-
dunn on technical and other grounds,
only to lose their case before Maryland's
highest court, the Court of Appeals.
There has been no notice of an appeal
to the Supreme Court. And it would be
surprising If one were filed, in view of
the high courts effort to get the dispute
settled at lower levels The court still
has before it, in aoeyance, VirginiaS
suit against Maryland, but it undoubt-
edly would welcome the chance to
dismiss the suit and wash its hands
Of the whole matter.

Q. How did the custom Of
Tipping a coin originate?
r. Y.
A. The custom Is said 10
date from the time of julius
Caesar. His head was en-
graved on one side of all
Roman coins. When there
was a question to be decided,
a coin was tossed and If the
head turned UP, the person
or decision represented by
the head was correct. The
word tail" as the reverse
Of head, eventually came to
be used for the side Of a coin

Faulty Education?

The State Department, ac-
cording to an Associated
Press dispatch, is moving to
hire more Negroes for the
diplomatic service. The ma
jor reason behind this en-
deavor is to prove to the
world that our country does
not permit the matter Of skin
color to retard advancement.
In that same article, how
ever, it is mentioned that
"of SO students from pre-
dominantly Negro colleges
who took the foreign service
examination, none passed.
The examination is given
and scored without knowl-
edge Of the applicants race"
Clearly it will be difficult
for the State Department to
achieve its stated goal under
these circumstances. How
ever desirous it may be to
provide Negroes with posts Of
Importance, certain prere-
quiSites must be met. To
make the examinations easier
would result only in a de-
crease Of knowledgeable
personnel.
Could it be that teaching
staffs in the "predominantly
Negro colleges" sometimes
are substandard? Gifted In
structors. quite understand
ably, tend to join faculties
where salaries that needn't
be supplemented by non
academic employment are
provided.
Unlike many Of the better
known colleges. the small
Negro schools OF higher edu-
cation often can count on
little in the way of endow-
ment funds or gifts. Hence,
Of necessity, monetary re-
wards to teaching staffs are
slight. Is it not probable that
If the means were available
to make faculty positions at
Negro colleges more attrac-
tive, students would benefit
and at least some would meet
State Department standards?
