KODIAK DIARY

Some time ago the readers of the columns of the Mirror were following a series of notices, which appeared week to week, signed alternately by BIG Nell son and Toodles Martin, con- corning the paternity of certain offspring When the notices be- gan to be misunderstood we hastily printed a notice that the participants were cnly dogs.
 To forestall the appearance, at least temporarily. of another such series of (paid) notices, we print the following item (free- gratis-for-nothing)
 "A recent incoming passenger via Alaska Airlines was M'toto, dachshund belonging to Clark Anderson, of Anchorage. M'toto i've are told by our expert on Africa, Paul Eerring, that the name is Africanique and means "baby'O while in Kodiak was the house guest of Toodles Mar tin, dachshund of Ray Martin. M'toto returned to Anchorage via the same ar line, naturally, there being only one "
 That's the last we want to hear of Toodles fer-er- some time.

An official of the Rural Elec- trifcation Association tells us that when it first got word that the local Kodiak Electric As soclation was interested in. cold storage facilities for it's plant it just couldn't believe it. They had to adjust themselves to conceive of a cold storage plant in quote frozen unquote Alaska.
 Now that the KEA has ex- pressed an interest in ice manu- featuring facilities, the same of- ficlal said he would take the word back with him, and that there would be more skepticism to overcome.
 Maybe the fact that the REA headquarters are in Missouri has something to do with 1t.

II Air Corps" song, onsathe radio and in innumerable movies, which was written by Capt. Robert Crawford. one of Alas ka's own and now a bomter fer rying pilot at Gore Field, Mont. Capt. Crawford was born in Dawson. When an engineering student at Princeton he started flying Later as a concert barl- tone and conductor he piloted his own plane while keeping en- agreements all over the United States and Alaska. His musical career took him through Julliard School of Music in New York and he studied in France for 2 years. He has written both ser ious and light music, been in op- cratic work, conducted sym phony and choral groups, writ ten and produced musical com edies and done radio and con cert work.
 The Army Air Corps" song is the best known of his compo- sitions. It is the official song of the air corps. He also wrote "Mechs of the Air Corps" for the greaseballs, and Cadets of the Air Corps" for the cadets.
 Capt. Crawford has written a new number now, and he sends copy of it to his old friend of Fairbanks days, Jack Altman, local police and fire chief. Billed as Americas Hymn of Hate, the song is titled "Kill the Bas- tardsW and to Jack he inscribed a copy "Hi! Jack! Ain't this what we always said?"
 The copy provides for substi- tuition of the word "buzzards" where advisable.
 The lyrics read:
 We'll kill the lousy buzzards And we'll knife lem with a yell! For there is only one good Japa-
 neSe And he is dead as hell!
 Oh, MacArthur's men are
 marching And with Anchors and Wings
 away" We'll wipe their lousy island

Even though the helicopter's eff
fciency is about one-third to one
half that Of a small fixed wing
plane, there are advantages which
the helicopter of the present time
enjoys over other planes, such as
its ability to rise and descend YER
tically and to hover over a fixed
point. This is a definite aid in
navigation. However, there are cer-
tain handicaps which aeronautical
engineers are attempting to over
come in their effort to make the
helicopter practical for private fly
ing. The helicopter is more difficult
to fly than the conventional light
plane; it is more subject to icing;
its gas consumption is greater than
the fixed wing plane; present COM
plicated mechanical parts invite
operational failures; f vibration,
which pilots shun, is apparent; and
in addition the helicopter would be
difficult to abandon by parachute.
Potentially the helicopter has
ideal possibilities for private fliers,
but in its present stage it is tricky
to operate and far less stable than
the conventional light fixed wing
plane.

Pension Scheme
Foes Plan Stiff
Fight In Arizona

PHOENIX, Aug. 24-Opponents of
Arizonas 1850 at 60" pension
scheme have decided to make no
effort to get the proposal off the
general election ballot, but will at
tempt to defeat it so decisively that
it can never be revived.
The opposition. is led by a COM
mittee headed by Nat M. Dysart,
former president of the Arizona
Farm Bureau Federation. For a
time this committee considered ex-
amining the signatures on the initi-
ative petitions. There was good
reason to suspect that less than the
required 13,OO0-odd signerS were
registered voters.
Showdown Sought
This plan was abandoned in favor
of an aggressive campaign. This
is just as good a year as any for a
showdown, says Dysart.

A common opinion which seems
to be built up in the public's mind
is that an easy to operate practical
helicopter will be made available to
individuals shortly after the termi-
nation of the war. This idea, how
ever, is not shared by experts in
the field who believe that thousands
of engineering hours must be put
on such planes before they will be
satisfactory for consumer use.

CRUELTY CHARGE BASIS OF ACTION
Evidence in BOzzutO Di- vOrce Suit Heard in Sue
 periOr Court Today

Presentation of testimony in the divorce action of Jennie Milete Boz zuto and Adam Bozzuto, both of Waterbury, opened before Superior Court Judge Frank P. McEvoy this morning and the hearing is expect ed to continue throughout this af- ternOon.
 The wife instituted the acJion tn the ground of cruelty and the nus band later filed a complaint making a similar charge. Each seeks custody of their 9 month old daughter, and the wife also seeks support and alimony allowances.
 Mrs. Bozzuto testified today that her husband beat her several times, one time giving her a black eye. She said the beating occurred at their home, on the street, in front of his relatives, and before their friends, and that she was greatly humiliated. :
 The husband, employed in his fathers grocery business in the Brooklyn section, is expected to be called to the stand later in the hearing. The couple married April 24, 1941. Mrs. Bozzuto claims the alleged cruelty started on the day of marriage.

 JOHN J. STEPHAN
 MT. Sheehan may be remem- bered by some as one of the city'S first automobile owners. He was a fair sized man, well dressed, and sported a very noticeable black moustache, twisted cleverly at either end. He was a friendly sort of person, the owner of the prop erty in question, and well-liked. He has been dead for a number of years, but the place is still known as the Sheehan building, although new owners control it today.
 But look at the liquor figures, and compare them with what you'll pay today, if you drink good stuff. Apparently, too, MT. Sheehan gave you chance on an automobile or a share in one any way, If you bought bottle of any of the whiskies mentioned.

WAR VETERANS
 ORGANIZE HERE
Waterbury Unit Formed; {; COstigan Named Presi.
 dent; Letter to Mayor

A "Waterbury Veterans of World War II" organization was instituted last night with Maj. J. Peter Costi- gan chosen as president. The group made up of veterans of this war, only, organized at a meeting ast night at the State Armory on Field street, with fundamental principles designed to foster all aid possible for returning servicemen.
 "A veteran of 9 months of serv- ice during which he took part in the North African campaign, Irving c. Delaney, 13 Brook street, was chosen vice-president. Maurice F. Shea, 20 Luke street also veteran of the North African campaign, who has been discharged after B months service, was elected secre- tary, while Joseph D. Brophy, 133 Beecher avenue, discharged after eight months service was chosen treasurer.
 Maj. Costigan a veteran of this war and World War who had previously declined the presidency was unable to override the unani- nous insistence of the group again last night that he undertake the po- sition.
 The group went on record as hay ing no affiliation with the national organized association of Global War Veterans stating that the pur- pose of their local organization was primarily one of source of in- formation, aid and assistance for all returning servicemen.
 Its first official action was to forward a letter to Mayor John S. Monagan protesting the recent rul- ing of the fire board as suggested by the Mayor calling for an age limit of 30 years for any candidate to the local department. The World War II" organization stated that they viewed such a ruling as unfair to many veterans of this war who because of their being engaged in the service of their country for two or three years may go over the age limit before their return here. A copy of the letter forwarded to he Mayor is as fol- lows:
 Tt has been brought to our at tention that the Board of Fire commissioners has passed a rul- ing limiting the filing of an ap- plication to the fire department to those men who have not passed their 30th birthday.
 We respectfully call your at- tention to the fact that some oi the men who will be effected by this ruling are men who will have passed their 30th birthday while in the service of their coun- try.
 It is our belief that the board of fire commissioners do not intend tc let mans service to his country penalize him in this matter.
 We, therefore, ask that you call this matter to your board of fire commissioners"
 All future meetings of the organ ization will be held at the Armory every Wednesday night at 8:30. All discharged veterans of this war are urged to join.

INTERNAL REVENUE
 OFFICE NORMAL

All was quiet at the local Inter- nal Revenue office today, but thoughts about the 1e44 estimated income forms started in manN quarters of the city. The estimates, similar to those required last Sep tember, must be turned in by April 15 by persons who have income that is not effected by wage with holdings.
 Normal activity was resumed by the government tax office staff to- day after many weeks of devoting nearly full-time to making out of the income tax returns. Regular hours. 8:30 a. m. to D. m., will be observed now. Yesterday the office was open until the midnight dealline for filing, but few persons called late in the evening, 1t was reported.
