BUY LITERALLY EATEN ALIVE BY TWO DOCS;
 LIVED FOUR HOURS

Attacked by two sled dogs, Odman Kooley, IT., five years of age, son of MT. and Mrs. Kooley of Kasilof, died a few hours later after being almost eaten alive.
 First news of the tragic death of the child was received yesterday by The Gateway, though the tragedy occurred December 9. This long lapse of time vividly portrays how isolated are the Kenai Peninsula folk.
 At 12::30 noon of the above date MT. Kooley phoned neighbors what had happened and they rushed to the family's assistance. The lad was still alive but unconscious.
 He had been chewed terribly; all of his clothing had been ripped off with the exception of his stockings and one shoe pack.
 From details sent to this paper, it seems MT. Kooley was at the home of Q neighbor, about 300 feet away, and Mrs. Kooley dispatched the youngster to call his father. The sled dogs were loose and jump ed upon the child behind mass ! of piling, out of sight of both houses.
 When found, the boy had been literally mauled to death, and in about 10 minutes.
 Mrs. Mclean and Mrs. H. Ber- ger dressed the bites to the best of their ability and P. A. Cole rushed to Kenai in an endeavor to send message for an airplane. At AIS Odman died Chas. Sands was then sent to Kenai to try and cancel the message for plane. AS the river was full of slush ice it was impossible to cross but at- tention was attracted by swinging lantern. By shouting across the Kenai River, residents were told that Odman was dead.
 Odman was born May Is, 1927. He was buried in the Kenai cemetery. Besides his parents, he left two lit tie sisters to mourn him, aged seven and three years. MT. Kooley Is employed as watch man at the Packers Cannery near the mouth of the Kasilof River.

HITLER MAKEssTRONG REMARKS REGARDING
 BRUEN|NC POLITICIANS

BERLIN, Dec. 30. (P-Chancel- Tor Bruening, whose clash with A. Hitler, leader of the National So- cialists, has reused Germany upon an important victory in the Reichs- tag when the Council of Elders, by a vote of 321 and 256, defeated the motion backed by the Communists and Nationalists, proposing that the German Parliament be con voked.
 The move was a direct challenge to the Chancellor's rule by decree during the current economic crisis.
 Meanwhile, Herr Hitler issued a 40-page letter charging the pres ent government with following a policy of illusion and called upon the Chancellor to resign his post. Hitler again predicted his party will ultimately be put in power le- gally by a vote of the people and he was harsh in his statements when he remarked on Bruening's attempt to squelch all opposition by the use of police power.
 Use of police power to suppress opposition, he said, Is only tolerable when governments successes warrant such step. If we were not to talk" he said, why not give us the power and we will cease talking and go to work"

 He said there has been too much talk of financial and industrial diff faculties from which Great Britain is now suffering with the rest of the world

 The Prince assured the world that when the temporary finan- cial situation has been rectified, Britons will once more resume trav- cling for pleasure and pointed out the necessity of travel.
 If we, in all countries, were al- ways to stay at home and to eke out 8 livelihood and so, In a manner of speaking, taking in each others washing. 1t would be a precarious life for all of us."

Gates, of Lan- caster, Pa, and his chum, Ensign E. D. Lucas, also attached to the Nevada. Then he walked from his hotel room to the Central Elmer gency Hospital to tell the doctors what he had done.
