How Widow Writes Name

On social stationery and visiting
cards the name of John Smiths
wife or widow is written Mrs. John
Smith. She herself would write her
own signature Mary Smith, or
(Mrs.) Mary Smith, but it would
be improper for another to so adj
dress her socially. In legal and
business matters she would be adj
dressed as Mary Smith, that being
her signature, and on business and
professional stationery and cards
she might use Mrs. Mary Smith.

 The Fellow Who Is iil Thai
 Big Case in Supreme Court
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, March 13-Pos- sibly the unluckiest Cor the luckiest) man in the country today is Joseph George Strecker of Hot Springs, Ark, who is being used as a legal guinea pig to decide whether Harry Bridges, West Coast CIO longshore- mems leader, shall be deported.
 The U. s. Supreme Court has Strecker's case in hand and a de- cision will be down soon. But the big game in the woods is not in- consequential Strecker, but con- sequential Bridges.
 The law says an alien advocating overthrow of the U. s. Government by force must be deported. The Jus tice Department in prosecuting Strecker argued that Communism advocates overthrow of the Govern ment, and therefore an alien Com munist can't stay here.
 District Judge Wayne G. Borah (nephew of the Senator) decided that was so and Strecker must go. The Fifth Circuit Court disagreed and reversed the decision. From there the case went to the Supreme Court.

STATEMENT HERE

According to reliable authorities in Juneau, the Federal Communi- cations law states that no licensed aeronautical radio station may be used for purposes other than con- cerned with the safety of the pass engers.
 Trouble in Alaska arose from the lack of cooperation between the various airlineS, some of whom were unable to obtain a license for a station due to the lack of available frequencies.
 These stations without radios complained of lack of cooperation having stations. The stations being put to commercial use, the utiliza- tion of them among all the com- panies for purposes of safety opera ton was not effected, according to the complaints.
 In Alaska there are 50 private aircraft radio stations, which oper- ate from the plane itself, 30 aeron- autical point to point land stations, and Al aeronauticai stations which provide contact between the ground and the plane.

Corpse Is Discovered This
 Morning at Lower City Float
DEATH IS BELIEVED
 FROM HEART ATTACK
Popular Galley King Had Been Employed in
 Alaska 30 Years

John Bobek, 56, veteran Alaska camp and boat cook, was found dead this morning in the Channel water at the Lower City Float. No water was in Bodek's lungs, and heart attack is believed to have caused his death.
 Bobek was cook on the Game Commission vessel Seal. moored at the Government Float behind the rock dump. He was last seen late yesterday afternoon, and is believed to have been overcome by one of his frequent severe coughing spells while returning to the boat, falling into the water.
 The body was found by Clarence Cove at 9:30 o'clock. floating near his gasboat. moored at the lower float.
 Burial is being deferred pending word from relatives.
 Bobek is known to have brother in Chicago, and woman named Mary Adamck, in Hammond, In- diana. is believed to be his sister.
 Born in 1882, in Danzig. when that Baltic port was still German soil. Bobek came to the United States as a young man and received his naturalization papers in 1905.
 He was employed by the U. s. Lighthouse Service in 1911 and 1912. cooked on many halihut boats. cooked for the Forest Service. and in 1895 went to work for the Alaska Game Commission, cooking on most all of their vessels at different times.
 Homer Jewell, Assistant Executive Officer of the Alaska Game Com mission, said today: "Bobek was one of the best boat cooks that ever came to Alaska and he didn't have an enemy in the world"
 The barrel chested and genial Bobek was known everywhere as a cracking good cook"
 At one time, Bobek was cook on the old Margnita, operating out of Juneau, and also cooked in lumber and mining camps all through Southeast Alaska. K

 line Operators

WASHINGTON, March l3.-The Federal Communications Commis- sion announced that 1t will call a hearing next fall to correct the "ev- ills in the Alaskan Aviation Com munication system"
 Object of the hearing will be the private radio operations maintained by the numerous aviation concerns in the Territory. All licensed com panies in the aviation service of Alaska will be parties in this hear- ing.
 Explaining that Alaska with an air traffic 1872 times greater than that of the United States on the basis of population, the commission says that keen competition has made it impossible for private companies of the Alaska Aviation System to organize among themselves.
 Renewal applications for all aero- nautical and aeronautical point to point stations in Alaska will be called for by the Commission.
 Applications for new facilities in locations where there is no dupli- cation involved will be granted con- ditionally pending outcome of the general hearing. All applications re- questing duplicate facilities or sub- mitted by other than aircraft oper- ators designated by the hearing will not be issued a conditional au- thorization of any character.
