bllSduleI Ielleldl Alluy Th' Lipscom, Commanding General, Yukon Command and Fort Vain wright, and his party, were hosted at the North Stars Seaview Room on Wednesday night. Speaking be- fore a capacity crowd, the general lauded Nome's hospitality and the performance of the local National Guard unit.
 MT. Boyd Harwood, member of the State Military Advisory Board, spoke of Nome's connection with the military over the years and introduced the guest of honor. The general stated that there were three major reasons for his visit to Nome. 1. That Nome is an inn portant area of his new command and that he wanted to see it as soon as possible. 2. That he wanted to meet, as soon as possible, the Eskimo Scouts and their leaders. 3. That the long range patrol has been out for four weeks, and he wanted to check on their exercise.
 Tonight will be one of the most memorable nights in my career" !" stated the general. "I have at tended many parties in my honor but Nome's hospitality, evidenced by the great turnout tonight, is certainly refreshing. You people have a wonderful way of making a fellow feel at home" The general commented that our National Guard unit is performing a great service, and is a credit to the US. Army and to the State o1 Alaska. ''I feel that in addition tc their regular missions" said Gen eral Lipscom, they must assist 1T the growth of this new frontier - the Army and the people are part. ners in the development of this new state"
 The general advised that he has been at his new post only three months, and has had misconcep- tion of what Alaskans are like. He has found them sophisticated anc Alaska developed beyond what he expected. For this reason, he has been looking forward to his toul to Nome and Kotzebue, Lipscon stated further that We have ( closer relationship with the people up here than we do in the lower States, and for this reason we should play a bigger role in the de velopment of the country"

Airman Must Lose 32 lbs. Or Face Discharge and Loss of Pension Rights

MISSIONER AIR FORCE BASE, Mass. R-A veteran of IF years military service has another 90 days to lose 32 pounds in excess weight or face enforced discharge and loss of pension rights.
 Airman 1c Edward Macguire, 34, stands 5 feet and weighs 225 pounds. The Air Force says his weight should be 193 pounds.
 The Air Force said Friday Ma guire was ordered last April to attain 193 pounds or be discharged under regulations ruling him un- suitable for military service.
 After a week of medically pre- scribed 800 calories-a-day diet, Mcguire dropped one pound. He was ordered to do better
 He put himself on a diet of 400 calories a day. He informed his superiors of his extra effort and his deadline for reaching 193 was extended to Jan. 21.
 ollSlSl lllG SlI lCt ulSl, said, he collapsed at the wheel of his car, so the doctors put him back on the 80O-calorie diet.
 Mcguire appealed to Sens. Ed ward M. Kennedy, and Leverett Saltonstall, both of Massachusetts, and his wife wrote to President Kennedy.
 Last Thursday the commanding general of the 57th Air Division postponed a hearing on Maguire's fitness for duty and extended his deadline another 90 days.
 Mcguire said he weighed 210 pounds while fighting in Korea as Marine, and asked, 50 why am I unfit now?"
 An Air Force spokesman said, There are 10000 troops at Vest over and regulations apply to them all, from generals down"
