The usual Tuesday night movie was cancelled, and Nomerama pa irons enjoyed a program of live music, presented by the Louie Green CombO." These boys make great" music either for listening or dancing. Louie Green on gui- tar and vocal, Peanuts Fitch banjo and vocal, and Harris Nothstine on guitar. The program had variety and aside from playing requests from the audience, they invited the local talent to join in.
 Those who "got in the act" had fun as well as furnishing enter tainment for the crowd.
 Dewey Otton proved to be d real swinger" on the guitar, and with Guy Martin on the drums gave several fine performances.
 The twisters and limbo artists were busy, with Clifford Oguillak and Rheuben Attatayuk taking star billing.
 If you have a yen to go on the stage, and have talent that is going to waste. Louie Green asks that you check with him for some fu- ture Tuesday night at the Nome rama.

Anchorage Chamber Wants Tax Equity Board Formed
JUNEAU R

JUNEAU R - The Greater An chorage Chamber of Commerce proposed today that the 1864 Leeis- lature create tax equity board 10 resolve any complications result Ing from changes in the state tax structure.
 The Greater Anchorage Cham ber'S proposal was submitted to the Legislative Council after it had adjourned a public hearing on busi- ness taxation in Alaska.
 The Greater Anchorage Chamber said It recognized that to "eu lit- ably resolve the complications and far-reaching effect of any changes m our present state tax structure and its governmental units would be most difficult and time-con- suming, particularly in view of the limited time available to the State legislative session this year as we'll as to individuals involved in the current hearings.
 Therefore, the Greater Anchor age Chamber of Commerce would respectively request your consid- eration for the establishment of tax equity board to be imple- mented by the State Legislature during the coming session.
 By adopting this plan, it is felt that sufficient preparation can be made to face the mutual prob fem with optimism for solution"

GOldWater Blasts Kennedy In Presidents Home State

BOSTON R - Republican Sen. Barry GoldWater of Arizona in- vaded President Kennedy's home state of Massachusetts today and charged that the President has locked even conservative Demo- crats in what GoldWater termed a madhouse of massive spending programs.
 The Arizona Senator says in a speech for a Boston meeting of the Republican Finance Committee that the only solution to the situa- tion is a Republican victory in 1864.
 GoldWater says Even the liberals have to recognize that what we have now in Washington is wouldbe king and a want-to- be dynasty, not President and a party"
 The Arizona Senator goes on to accuse the President of what he calls 'baldfaced deception in for elgn policy" and "election expe- dlency rather than economic real ity' at home.

Rivers Asks White
 House Help to oOust Russian Fishermen

JUNEAU R - Rep. Ralph Riv- CTS has urged President Kennedy to lend strong personal support to a bill designed to prevent foreign fishermen from operating in US. territorial waters.
 The measure, passed by the Sen ate and nearly identical to two other bills introduced originally in the House, prescribes penalties, including fines and confiscation of boats, for such foreign of lenders.
 Rivers, in a letter to Kennedy dated Oct. IA, said the legislation IS needed to fill a void in federal law with respect to violations of US. territorial waters by foreign vessels.
 With it's underlined reference to territorial waters" Rivers said the bill leaves the door open for executive action extending US. Jurisdiction over coastal waters to l2 miles, instead of only three.
 Rivers told the President there had been numerous incidents dur Ing the past summer in which Rus sian and Japanese vessels have engaged in fishing activities within US. territorial waters and had ex- plotted the resources of the US. Continental shelf, both on the At lantic and Pacific coasts
 In addition to traWling for king crab in international waters near Kodiak Island," Rivers said, Russians navigating fleets of mod ern fast vessels have ruthlessly moved through waters already oc- cupied by Alaska firshermen and deliberately damaged or destroyed their gear, consisting of carb pots marked with buoys.
 This, of course, has created an explosive situation leading to the depletion of the great Alaska king crab fishery upon our Continental shelf, concurrently with driving Alaskans from one of their tradi- tional fishing grounds and thereby - unless brought to stop - ruin- ing their means of earning live lihOod."

Alien Ways Peril Eskimo Culture

kimos have traditionally been their own bosses. Now they are trying to fit into a complex civilization where they work fixed hours, earn wages and have to become good consumers"
 Many, unfortunately, have only learned to consume alcoholic bev- erages. This problem, however, is limited chiefly to larger settle ments populated by hundreds that are economically tied to the out side world. Many other Eskimos still live in remote, family-sized communities, much like their an- ceStors.
 The Eskimos have never been numerous. The Canadian Eskimo working force" of males between l5 and 35 years of age is estimated at less than 2,O00. Hence they are highly vulnerable to absorption by other races
 Dr. Helge Larsen, head of the Department of Ethnology at the Danish National Museum and a veteran of eight field seasons in Greenland, said that there were practically no more Eskimos left in the ice-covered land
 They consider themselves "Greenlanders," he said, although they still speak their own brand of Eskimo and only per cent speak Danish. While drunkenness and minor crimes have been problem, the rate, he said, has de- clined in the last few years.
 There was wide agreement that the inability of many officials to speak Eskimo made it even more difficult for the inhabitants to live by code they did not understand and was not of their own making.
 One of the chief manifestations of the gulf between the Eskimos and their administrators has cen tered on the Dog Ordinance, which requires Eskimos to keep their huSkles tethered.
 Dr. Frank c. Valee, a sociologist of McMaster University in Ham llton, Ont, who has been living at Povungnituk on the northeast shore of Hudson Bay, told of efforts to curb an outbreak of rabies in that region. Not until the Eskimos were told that any loose dogs would be shot did they tether dogs, and then only with considerable resentment.
 It was evident, Dr. Vallee said, that the Eskimos did not accept the white mans concept of conta- glon. It was not until later that the Eskimo concept became known to the administrators, namely that there is a fixed amount of disease Tn the environment.
 According to this theory, Dr. Vallee said, If the dogs are sick. the people are not sick" Unfor- Eunately, he added, after the dogs were tethered, influenza broke put among the Eskimos, which did not help persuade them that their .heOry was wrong.

From the New York Times)
 By WALTER SULLIVAN

to the world a model of industry fortitude and ingenuity, the prog noSis for survival of his culture is poor.
 This was the view expressed by number of Arctic specialists who recently took part in a symposium organized in Montreal by McGill University and the Arctic Insti- ute of North America.
 Dr. Jacques Rousseau, a leading authority on the North, cited changes that have already taken place in the Far North. In a voice charged with shock and indigna- tion he said
 q am told there is a jail at FrObisher Bay, filled all the time with drunkS and other offenders" :"
 Frobisher Bay is on Baffin Is land, deep within the realm of the Eskimo, until a eW years ago. jails were unknown at such outpostS.
 Other speakers told of drunk enness, minor crime, juvenile de- linquency and even prostitution springing up from Alaska, across the Arctic to Greenland. The Es- kimos were depicted as fighting an almost hopeless battle against the northward march of the white mans civilization.
 Dr. Rousseau, who has devoted much of his life to studying the plants and people of northern Quebec, said with passion:
 T hope we will not have to de plore the cultural genocide of the Eskimo people"
 What emerged from the sympo- slum was a picture of life in ines capable conformation with the way of the white man.
 Tribute was paid to the Walrus hunter and igloo builder, a jovial companion on the blizzard-swept trail. But 1t was felt his way could not survive in an age of jet planes, television and air conditioning. We cannot, said Dr. Rousseau, put the Eskimo in a "ZoOlogical preserve."
 Dr. Jacob Fried, anthropologist at McGill University, and others told how white men who went north once lived off the land like the natives and hence were close to them. They tended to remain there many years if not for life time, as trappers or pioneers.
 Now the white man brings the environment with him, serves out his contracted tour of duty at radar site, mine, or native settle ment, then returns to his native habitat in the south.
 The early warning radar sites, with their taped television shows, stateside menus and synthetic eli mate are an extreme example of the "canned urbanism" transported to the North.
 One speaker told of meeting man at such a site who had been there six months. He went for q | walk the first day, but apparently | the weather was not to his liking and he had not been out since"
 Thus the gulf between the Eski- mo and his new neighbors has grown to vast dimensions. Accord ing to Margaret Lantis, United States anthropoIogist, Alaskan Els
