 Milady's lovely Alaska beaver eoaA which she wears with pride at the most exclusive places, comes from a wild, remote area where the comforts and nieeties of life must be forgotten by the people who go out to trap for furs. But beaver trapping can be fun, and a profitable way to spend a vacation as Virginia Swanson learned She describes her experiences delight fully in '6'Blondie Goes for Beav- .ers.3
 The "hell-town Nome" had set tied down to orderly community life, but the buildings thrown up hastily in the Gold-rush days still crowded each other in its city center, when fire devastated the business district in 1884. Remote from sources of supply and threat ened by the winter freeze, NOmites rose to meet the emergency with ingenuity and cooperation. When Nome Burned" by Shirlie Forrest CT, is a vivid story of the fire and reconstruction of Nome.
 Kodiak in 1896, thaugh already a hundred years old, gave no in- dicstion that it would someday be of major importance in the de- fense of the North American con tinent. The Russian church and a couple of stores were about all there was to Kodiak then. Pros pecting Trip to Kodiak" is the second chapter of "Homer's Gold Seekers" Della Murray Banks story of early gold ventures in Cook Inlet.
 II was a bad winter for moose on Kenai Peninsula when sixty starved to death on Kasilof Lake alone. Bad for a trapper, too, when a couple of hungry moose ran him up a tree in sub-zero weather, and kept him there for hours. The Starving Moose of Kasilof Lake, by Katherine Bayou, also in the November number of The Alaska Sportsman, desribes ChTiss Spill um's experiences as a trapper on Kasilof Lake many years ago.

Father Biumes Thieves
For Disappearance
Of Youth and $1,000

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Nov. 24.-Police today
were investigating the possibility
that Malcolm Mcleod, 18-year-old
son of a former Michigan Congress
member, had been seen in Chicago
since he disappeared from the Nc
Leod home here Thursday night.
Clarence j. Mcleod, Representa-
tive from Michigan's 18th District

pearance of his son and SIC, 1000
from his home yesterday.
He told detectives today, however,
that he found the money, except
for about $1,000, in another part of
the house.
Chicago detectives were called into
the investigation, officers said, after
a Detroit taxicab driver identified a
photograph of young Mcleod as that
of boy he drove to the Illinois
city Thursday night.
Police quoted the man as saying
the youth chartered a limousine and
driver about l am. Friday and the
two arrived in Chicago between 8
and 9 am.
Inspector John o. Whitman of
Detroit police said the elder Nc

McNutt in Manila,
Cites Major Problems
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MANILA, Nov. 24.-The seven
month chore of getting the Philip
pines on their economic feet and
resolving internal differences before
their scheduled independence next
July cannot be overemphasized
either in Importance or difficulty,
United States Commissioner Paul ".
McNutt said today.
Newly arrived, Mr.. McNutt said in
a three-hour press conference the
major problems were:
/. Economic rehabilitation and
restoration of stable commerce, with
the emphasis on industrialization of
the islands.
2. Physical reconstruction of the
war-battsred areas.
3. Solution of agrarian unrest,
stemming largely from absentee
landlordisrn.
4. Restoration of a stable cur
rency, IAN honest one," and elm
ination of imitation.
S. Punishment of collaborators
and unification of dissident ele-
ments.
Mr.. McNutt said the United States
would keep its promise to grant the
Philippines independence on sched-
ule unless there was clear demand
for deferment on the part of the
Filipino people.
The commissioner, returning to a
post he held before the war, plans
to confer soon with Gen. MacAr-
thur and with Edwin M. Pauley,
President Truman's personal rep
resentative on the Allied Repara-
tions Commission.

British Fighting Annamiies
10 Project Jap Prisoners

By the Associated Press.
SAIGON, French Indo China,
Nov. PA British spokesman said
yesterday that British operations
against the nnnan1iCes were devoted
mainly to protecting the outskirts
of areas where disarmed Japanese
prisoners have been concentrated
and added:
"We are not here to reconquer
this country for the French"
1t was learned that the explosions
from three fires which started al
most simultaneously Thursday night
in separate areas of Saigon and
Cholon have been attributed to the
accidental discharge of ammunition.
There was no evidence, 1t was Stated
of1icially to show that any OF the
fires were set by rebellious Annanite
soldiers.
Heavy gunfire in Saigon during
the night was believed to have been
the result of clashes between Gurkha
units of the British force and rowing
bands of Annamites. The natives
were reported to have attacked the
Gurkhas. Annamite troops also
were said to have been driven of in
their attempt to destoy the new
canal bridge in the dock area.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
KWAJALEIN, Marshall Islands,
Nov. 24.-Bleaching bones-minus
all evidence of skulls-in a bomb
crater on the island of Mill were
evidence that the japanese behead-
ed five American flyers in February,
1914, a government witness testified
yesterday.
The witness, John Iaman, an is
land native, told the grim story at
the trial of 10 japanese officers
charged with the murder OF uni
Identified American airmen.
He said he was present when the
flyers were questioned. Iaman testi-
fed he saw one flyer, with hands
tied behind his back, forced to drink
an "evil-tasting" liquid. The jap
anese thus sought to make the
American talk"
Iaman saw the bones in the crater
last September. A belt found at the
scene was identified by Marine as
of American make.
At the time the flyers were slain,
the japanese in the Marshalls were
in frenzy of excitement over
American invasion of Kwajalein.

Report by 6aIIinger
Denies Turning Away
Meningitis Patient

The meningitis patient allegedly
denied entrance to Gallinger Hos
pital on Wednesday was driven of
In an ambulance while Gallinger
physicians were attempting to ar
range details of his commitment to
the psychopathic hospital, according
to a report on the case submitted
to Commissioner Guy Mason late
yesterday.
The report. prepared at the re-
quest of Health Officer George G.
Rutland by Robert D. Southwick,
deputy superintendent of the hos
pital, said it was apparent to Gal
linger doctors that the patient
should be admitted to the psyche
pathic hospital.
No Order to Driver.
eft was while attempting to ar
range the details of commitment
necessary for the admission to the
psychopathic hospital" the report
said, that the ambulance left with
the patient for Leland Memorial
Hospital"
The report further stated that no
Gallinger employe told the driver to
take this action and added that the
ambulance waited mot more than
80 minutes" while the hospital at
tempted to reach the physician who
had been attending in the case.
The patient, Percy Edwards, SO,
doorman at the Willard Hotel. was
reported in much improved condi-
ton yesterday at Leland.
Mr.. Edwards, accompanied by his
wife, arrived at Gallinger about noon
November q in an ambulance.
Gallinger physicians said they ex-
amined him in the ambulance, but
had no information from the at
tending physician on which to base
diagnosis.
To Check on Providence Action.
Mrs. Edwards, however, who lives
at 302 Todd place NE, said she
told the Gallinger doctors he was
suffering from an ear condition. She
said she gave instructions to the
ambulance driver to go to Leland
after being informed by telephone
at Gallinger that he could be ad-
mitted there. Mrs. Edwards added
that she had stayed at Gallinger
about an hour.
DR.. Rutland said he planned to
investigate why Providence Hos
pital, where Mr.. Edwards was taken
first and where the case was re-
ferred to Gallinger, had no facilities
for coping with delerious patients.
He added that otherwise the case
was closed. He said he believed the
patient should have been admitted
to Gallinger, however, and legal
problems of commitment, if neces-
sary, ironed out later, but did not
blame physicians there too much
because the case was not considered
emergency.

President Truman. Prime Minister

that Germany shall he stripped of all

termined that the future economy of

minimum of essential and purely
peaceful manufacture. This and scores
of additional Allied decisions pre-
liminary to the final European peace
settlement were disclosed last week in
an official communicate summarizing
the deliberations and conclusions of
the Big Three in the two weeks con
ference at Potsdam, Germany.
Other outstanding determinations
included the following: Germany will
pay her Preparations i'll goods and capt
tai equipment, Russia to take her
share from the eastern zone she now
occupies, and the United States
United Kingdom and other Preparations
claimants to get theirs from the west

to be submitted to Germany "when a
