Sgt. Meyers holds the distinction
OF being the first of Yank's ubiuui-

Tall Tale

HELENA, Mont.-Hold your hats,
you fishermen; William j. Dor
rington's fish yarn is pretty tall.
Darlington, veteran deputy
game warden, says a lake at the
foot Of the Rocky Mountains in
Teton county is a fisherman's par
adise, except that the giant trout
lurking there all like the cool, deep
water of the lakes center. No boats
are available and so the giant fish
enjoy their retreat unmolested.
The other day Darlington made
the rounds of the lake and saw a
basket well filled with rainbow
trout. No line or pole was in sight
but fellow was doing under the

JAMES p. DAVIS,
REGIONAL HEAD,
9TH REGION, 0pA

The appointment of James P
Davis as Regional Administrator for
the Ninth Region of the Office of
Price Administration is announced
in a radiogram received by the
Alaska Office of Price Administra-
ton. The Ninth Region is COM
.prised of all the Territories and
Possessions. Mr.. Davis succeeds Ru-
pert Emerson, who resigned in June
to accept the position Of Assistant
Administrator of Lend-LeaSe. Mr..
Emerson spent two weeks visiting
the Alaska Office just prior to his
resignation.
Mr.. Davis is not newcomer to
OPA work or to the Ninth Region.
He has been actively identified with
OPA work since its inception and
has been with Region TX for more
than year. On two occasions he
has served as Acting Director of
Puerto Rico. He also was Acting
Administrator for the Ninth Region
for some weeks last spring.
Immediately following his APP
pointment, Mr.. Davis issued the fol-
lowing statement:
On assuming the post of Re-
gional Administrator of the OPA
for Region TX, send cordial greet
ings to the Director and the staff
of every Territorial office and to
the members and staffs of our local
War Price and Rationing Boards
and all who are cooperating with
them in their work.
From personal experience in Pu-
erto Rico and the Virgin Islands
and from previous work in the Re-
gional office, know that the prob
lens of the Territories under price
control and rationing are very diff
ferent from those of the mainland.
Fortunately Mr.. Rupert Emerson
and Mr.. Wallace Cohen whose de-
parture we all deeply regret, have
been able to make this clear to
the officials of the National Office
OF Price Administration and to es-
tablish the policy that OPA opera
tons in the Territories must be
adapted to the needs and special cir
existing there. The pol

Bruce Cabot is starred in the title

The story of wild Bill Hickok

country around Powder River, Mon
tana. Farrell, a Chicagoan, per-
suades beautiful Belle Andrews to
go with him when her gambling
house is burned in the great Chi
cago fire. On the train, she meets
and has cause to admire Wild Bill
Hickok, who is also going to the
Powder River country where his
ward, little girl, is living with a
friend of his who owns the key
ranch there.
Farrel's plans to get control work
out well, until he comes to the ranch
owned by Hickok's friend. There is
large mortgage on it, but it isn't
yet due. So Farrell does his worst,
gets the rancher on framed MUIR
der charge. Hickok goes after the
one witness who can clear his friend,
but meanwhile Farrel's stooges
lynch the rancher, then excitement
and thrills follow.

Mr.. Dugo was born in Szolnok,
Hungary, and was drawing by the

was to be an artist, but his father
