Eskimo Poem
 Tigara
By Howard Weyahok

ny hOWaru WcydHOk An, Tigara! Thy being is an endur-
 ing monument Painfully wrought by intending struggle against odds so great That only race of granite nerve
 could sustain theee! An, but, tribulations nodded a na-
 ture in they people So pleasantly unique in all the
 world. They love their fellow man. They love thee, o Tigara! They have woven rich heritage in
 thy being, Heritage inter-laced with pain,
 grief, tears, and laughter, Heritage blessed with a smile of
 God.
 An, Tigara! Grim though they be.
 thy surroundings! Pray ye, let mortals reflect upon
 thy awesome beauties. Aye, Tigara, for there is stirring
 fascination
 In thy wild. swirling blizzards: In the incredible stiffness of thy
 bitter cold; In the sweeping and screaming of thy gales;
 In the rumbling crescendo of the giant waves;
 In the shifting, ridging icefields.

Fine Res ponse

When the Tundra Times started publishing on Octo- Der 1862, its staff could not help but feel e appre hensive.
 There were many questions with unknown answers.
 Now as the paper prints its fifth issue. of these questions have been answered. Now the staff say with pride, that inc reception fhe Tundra Times by the public. both in Alaska and in inc lower states has been most gratifying
 The response 10 # by natives of Alaska, for whom if was primarily planned has been than expected This response was illustrated by the very fine remarks in its favor by delegates at the recent nUpa Paot meeting in KotzebUe
 Tundra Times is confident that this interest will con- tinue to grow with the ensuing issues.
 Many fine letters received by inc paper from people in Alaska and from inc lower states have been most en- couraging. Some of these wonderful letters have been printed in past issues and in fine response inc Tundra Times is getting steady stream of subscriptions It may seem bit greedy for wanting of them, but at the same time we feel they most necessary in order to make the paper successful We need large circulation list in order to sell advertising.

the establishment of an inter-

The proposal was made by
United States Delegate Homer

ences of the National Aeronau-

at the first meeting Of a sub
committee Of a new United Ma
tions committee on the peaceful
uses of outer space.
Equator Site Urged
DR.. Newell told the 28-nation
group there was q need for a
rocket range somewhere near
the Equator to supplement SIM
liar ranges already operating
in the Northern Hemisphere
This could be a good starting
point for international cooper
alton in space research, he
said.
There was no discussion of
the proposal at the brief open
ing meeting, which elected
David F. Martyr, head Of Aus
tralia's National Committee on
Space Research, as chairman of
the four-week session.
DR.. Newell is to be Joined

director Of NASA.
The Soviet delegation is
headed by Prof. Anatole Blag-

Prompted by Messages
American officials said DR..
Dryden and Prof. Blagonarov
would hold private talks during
the session on possible future
United States-Soviet collabo-
ration in the peaceful evplora-
ton Of outer space.
These talks, not directly con-
nected with the committee,
arose out Of his recent exchange
of messages between President
Kennedy and Soviet Premier
Khrushchev. The international
rocket range suggested by DR..
Newell may also be discussed
in the United States-Soviet
talks.
The 28-nation group formed

slider the scientific and tech
nical aspects and the other the
legal aspects of space research
cooperation.

Feuding BOgs
Bill on Works
Despite Shift
Senute Democrats
Drop Trust Fund
Financing Plan
By J. A. OTEARY
Star Staff Writer


The emergency public works
bill became begged down in
political pickering in the Sen
ate today as Republicans con-
tinued to attack the admins
tration's original back-door fl
nancing plan, even though the
Democrats have agreed to drop
! it.
After two hours Of wrangling,
the Senate voted 70-4 to strike
out the back-door financing,
which Democratic leaders had
abandoned. But four Demo-
Gratis voted to keep it in the
bill anyhow. They were Sen
ators Mcnamara of Michigan,
Metcalf of Montana, Pastore of
Rhode Island and Smith of
Massachusetts,.
Senator Bush, Republican of
Connecticut, aroused the ire of
Democrats by suggesting that
the original plan to let the
President use Government trust
funds to finance public works
would be regarded as embezzle-
ment If resorted to in the busi-
ness world.
No Individual Target
Senator Kerr, Democrat of
Oklahoma, shouted his resent
ment over the Bush remark,
calling it unfair and unjusti-
fled"
Senator Bush was referring
to the original proposal, ap-
proved by the Public Works
Committee, to give the Presi-
dent standby authority to use
up to 81 billion of unobligated
balances on the books of five
Government agencies to finance
public works in the event of a
future recession.
The plan provided that Con-
greSS would later reimburse the
five agencies, which included
the International Bank, Fed
eral Deposit Insurance Corp,
Housing and Home Finance
Agency. Federal Savings and
Loan Insurance Corp. and Fed
eral Home Loan Bank Board.
Senator Bush said he was
not aiming his embezzlement
remark at any individual, but
only trying to show that If
the manager Of q private COM
pany dipped into the pension
fund" to finance his business
he would be liable to go to jail.
He said he was trying to
show that the original bill tried
to set a different standard for
the Government.
SIS Billion Version
Senator Kerr insisted there
was no relationship between
the example cited by Senator
Bush and the public works bill.
He said that If Congress had
passed the original bill the
President would have been per-
forming a legal act, whereas
the Senator had described what
would be an illegal act in the
business world.
Senator Kerr suggested that
the Bush statement must have
been based on what the Con-
necticut Senator regarded as
an opportunity for political
advantage.
