Area Redevelopment Meeting Jan. A In Nome
 Bv Don Hoover
By Don Hoover

AS previous articles have stated, certain types of loans will be eli gible under the Area Redevelop- ment Act. The basic requirement is that they must provide new employment on a permanent or long term basis.
 Ideas for new business that would qualify have been sug- gested by several different sources including some of the villages. A few of these ideas are: fish and berry cailnery, leather and fur tannery, a saw mill Gin the areas having com mercial grade timIber), reindeer processing plant, etc. All of these are good ideas and some can ap- ply to more than one part of our district Either from past ex- perience or repeated requests, we know that a market exists for the products of any or all of the above type industries.
 For many years the economy of this area has depended largely on gold mining. We are all acute ly aware that this industry is fast fading out. However, we must remember that it is not unusual for the basic economy of an area to change. Before the gold mining days here, the economy was once based on the whaling industry The ARA now provides an op portunity for this area to seek 1 new type of economy but stil
 based on our natural resource;
 of which we have many.
 The actual development is nov l up to us. Remember the meetin for our area will be held at Nom on Jan. 24, in the City Hall a 7:30 pm.

$lOO-a-Plate Free Handout

COLUMBUS, Ohio R - Charles Meels, who wasn't even invited, walked into the $100-a-plate birthday dinner for Gov. Michael DiSalle Saturday and left with the carnation President Kennedy had been wearing.
 The story came out yesterday when Meeks called the Columbus Dispatch to get copy of a pie ture of him shaking hands with Kennedy.
 Meeks, president of the United Auto Workers Citizenship Coun- cil here, failed to receive an ex- pected invitation to the party. He took several hundred buttons he had left from his Citizens for Ken nedy campaign in 1860 and walk ed into the banquet hall at the State Fairgrounds.
 s'I started distributing the butt tons to people at the tables and even gave some to the Secret Service men," he said. Eventually he climbed to the speakers plat form and shook hands with the President.
 "When the program was over, went up to President Kennedy as he was coming by" Meeks re- lated. 1T shook hands with him again and asked him for the car nation he was wearing for my daughter. He gave it to me- Tn between the two Kennedy handshakes, the General Motors ernploye got free meal--a S100- a-plate handout.

Commissioner of Public Safety Advises Nome to Organize Civil Defense

Martin Underwood, Commits sioner of Public Safety has been conferring with local leaders the past two days on various aspects of his department which con- cerns policing, fire control and many other functions including civil defense.
 He was surprised at the fact that Nome had no local Civil De- fense committee set up and stated that although Nome would not be a target for H-bombs, the fall out from the main targets of Fairbanks, Anchorage and Ko- diak as well as from bombs in- iitsiased by our own country. either aerial or submarine, would affect us. Small communities must be prepared not only to care for themselves in case of such devastation be must stand ready to help restore the areas of the main attack with food supplies as well as manpower.
 People will have to be recruit ed from the small communities to get planes, power and coTnmu- nications back as soon as possible following an attack. Underwood said he hoped Nome would soon get an organization planned.
 He had hoped to visit Kotze- bue and St. Lawrence Island but weather conditions have been un- favorable and he left today for Fairbanks.
 He said he does not anticipate increased state policing for north western Alaska in the immediate future.

Kay Says He
 Has No Intention Of Resigning Post

SITKA LP = State Democratic C entral Committee Chairman Wendell Kay said today he has no intention of resigning, as urged by State Rep. Pete Deveau of Kodiak.
 Deveau, Democratic Majority Leader in the House of Repre- sentatives, said yesterday that Kay should quit as chairman if he con- tinues his attacks on Gov. Wm. Egan and the Legislature.
 Replying to Deveau's demand that he resign, Kay said:
 MT Deveau is a fine Demo- cratic Representative. He is cer- tainly entitled to his opinions, just as I am entitled to mine.
 However, Mir. Deveau is mis- taken in Interpreting my remarks concerning taxes as an attack on anyone, particularly the Demo cratic Legislature. To urge a re- duction in taxes is not an attack
 T think MT. Deveau is also mistaken if he feels that the people of Alaska do not favor sensible economy in state govern ment at the present time. My
 many contacts throughout Alasks indicate that there is very con siderable such sentiment
 ''In any event, to put Pete'' mind at ease, I have no intention of resigning as State Chairman.

Chang Do- Young, Titular Head of South Korea, Sentenced to Hang

SEOUL, South Korea R = Chang Do-Young, first titular head of the junta that toppled civil rule in South Korea, was convicted today of plotting against the military government he head ed. As expected the revolutionary tribunal set up by his former col leagues sentenced him to die on the gallows.
 Chang, the army chief of staff at the time of the May coup and a hero of the Korean War, agreed only after the coup was an ac- complished fact to head the ruling junta and take the country's pre- miership. Throughout his two months in office the real power was held by Gen. Chung Hee Park, the leader of the coup who replaced Chang as head of the junta.
 Condemned to death with Chang on similar charges of counter revolutionary activity was his for mer secretary, ex-Col. Lee Hoi Yung. The five-man tribunal also ordered life sentences for four defendants, including two former junta members: gave prison terms ranging from 5 to 15 years to nine persons and acquitted nine others.
 l Death verdicts automatically go
 to an appeals court. If upheld
 there, they must be reviewed b.
 Gen. Park.
 The revolutionary prosecute
 called Chang ia sly, base oppol tunist'' and accused him of play ing both sides of the fence.

Rep. J. Mccormack Is New Speaker
 Of US. House

WASHINGTON tR 4 Rep. John w. Mccormack, 70-year-old Bos- ton Irishman, was installed today as Speaker of the House at the opening of the new Congress ses- sion.
 His formal election to succeed the late Sam Rayburn of Texas was the biggest item of organiza- tional routine to be got out of the way before President Ken nedy comes before a joint Senate House session tomorrow to re- port on the State of the Union and sketch what he wants in new legislation.
 Mccormack was elected 248-166 over Rep. Charles A. Halleck of Indiana, the Republican nominee, in a straight party vote. Halleck, who got exactly the number of votes he had anti cipated, was good loser in the old club tradition. He escorted Mccormack to the rostrum and told the House it had picked a worthy successor to Rayburn.
 Halleck promised five (the Re- Ipublicans) will cooperate as best we can to build the economic and military strength of our country. J 1 For both Senate and House il l was a usual opening day of sweet
 ness, light and good fellowship. Battle Lines Will Form !, Tomorrow, the battle lines wi
 begin taking shape on what Ker 7 nedy asks from an election-yea 5 session expected to bring heate contests on at least half doze big issues.
 This was the first time sine
 1940 that the House had met a l mid-term without Speaker House Clerk Ralph Roberts called 1 it to order and presided until thu election of Mccormack. 1 Outside the halls of Congress the climate of the moment was cold and snowy. The snow ano l l17-degree cold seemed to have kept many Congress members from attending an 8 am. com munion service held annually at the National Presbyterian Church on opening day of Congress to ask divine guidance for the legis- latorS.
 The church auditorium was less than one-third filled. By com parison, it was filled last year when former President Dwight Eisenhower, a member of the church, was one of the communi- cants. President Kennedy is a member of the Roman Catholic Church.
 The weather held back too the throngs of spectators who usually turn out to see Congress begin a new session.
 Galleries were only partly fill ed when Vice President Lyndon Johnson, promptly at noon, called the Senate to order, breaking ur the handshakings and greetings going on among the returning sen ] ators.

JAPAN BOWS

The State Department
strained relations with the Far
East yesterday when it con-
quered the Japanese Embassy
81 to 6 In q softball game near
the Lincoln Memorial.
And so the famous old brass
Asakai Cup passed into the
hands of State. It sat on the
grass throughout the seven
inning game. The historic con-
test has been played twice each
year since 1858.
Japanese Ambassador Koi-
chiro Asakai announced just
after the last out:
I'VE are crushed"
Much earlier, w. Averell
Hartman, Assistant Secretary.
Of State for Far Eastern At
fairs, strolled over the dia-
mond to throw in an under
handed way the first softball
to Ambassador Asakai. He
threw several pitches to Mr..
Asakai who fumbled each one.
Mr.. Hartman left after
State had jumped off an early
lead of about 10 runs. He said
in passing:
IT have performed my func-
ton"
Mr.. Hartman was accompa-
MED by an aide. Mr.. Asakai
was accompanied by his wife
who said he should never have
played first base.
Ambassador Asakai, a COM
pact man, made three errors
and laughed pleasantly each
time. He is "bad-field-good-
hit"

the crowd was asked how one

Baseball" she said.
There were no score cards
and one Of the interesting
things about the game was that
State, not the Embassy, had a
player named Yukio Kawa-
moto and another named Key
Kobayashi.
With one out and one on in
the sixth, Kobayashi slashed a
grounder at Babe Kato who
tossed to Babe YamaShita who
was covering second because
Babe Nakashima had strolled
over to first to help Ambassa-
dor Asakai adjust his sun
glasses.
Yamashita whirled and fired
to Babe Watanabe on third in
an attempt to catch Kawamoto
near home in a run down.
This brought Babe Tomisaki
to his feet in center field where
he had been tying his shoe
laces.
Ambassador Asakai dropped
the ball and another run
scored.
I'VE need to get some better
players, said the Ambassador
after the ball game was over.
Several changes in the foreign
office have since been rumored.
The sun shone throughout
the game. Game time was one
hour and 80 minutes.

winning pitcher. He works for

Although the paint is hardly

headquarters building in Nc
Lean. Va, the Central Intelli-
gence Agency is the prospective
tenant for an additional huge

Neither CIA, Weapons Plant

1t has been learned, however,
that the building, one of three
being remodeled at the Weap-
ons Plant by GSA, is planned
for occupancy by CIA.
Presumably it will be used
to house CIA employees who
could not be moved to the new
headquarters building. At the

ber from buildings in Washing
ton, a CIA spokesman said,
there was not enough room for
all employees at the new head
quarters. He noted that CIA
had originally requested a $50
million appropriation for the
building, but that this figure
was cut to $46 million by Con-
gress.
