IRON LUNG FAILS 10 SAVE LIFE OF
 STRICKEN MINER
John Robert fDies Early Las1 Evening as Result of
 lnfdnfile Paralysis

Stricken with infantile paralysis early this week, John Robert. 29- year-old Alaska Juneau Mine en- ployee. died last night at St. Ann's Hospital shortly before 6 o'clock. Attempts to save his life by obtain ing an iron lung which was flown here yesterday from Seattle proved futile
 The young man was treated by Dr. William Whitehead, who placed the victim in an improvised lung, made about two years ago by Dr. Robert Ccffey and Kenyon tSpike) Mclean. This was the first time the Juneau-made lung had been used and physicians believe death would have come sooner if it had not been for the crude machine. Robert was placed in the new lung about 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 An employee of the Alaska Ju- neau, Robert came to this city about a year age. Prior to this he had been employed for a time at Hirst- Chichagof
 He is survived by his wife, Marian, at present a patient in a hospital in California; and his two-year-old gcn, John; his uncle, John Bixby and a siSter-in -in-law, Mrs. William Glafke, all of Juneau.
 The remains are at the Charles w. Carter Mortuary pending funeral arrangements.
 According to health officials, an epidemic is not expected. The Glafke nome has been placed under quarantine since Sunday.

 Proof that they do win con- vert to certain dishes now and then is found in a letter on file in the Presidio camp in California. It IS from a mother in New York state. It is addressed to the Presi- dent of the United States. It says !: Five years ago, my boy was in the Presidio eco camp in Cali fornia.
