(RIk0|NT
IS DEAD
Beloved Clergyman, Serv-
ing Alaska Half Century,
Passed On Sunday

After a half-century of loving
servitude to Alaska and its people,
the Most Reverend Joseph Raphael
Crimont, aged 81, Catholic Bishop of
Alaska since 1917, died Sunday at St.
AIMS Hospital.
Death came at $3.50 p. m, follow
ing four days illness, closing a
long and colorful career which led
from Amiens, France, near where
Bishop Crimont was born, to the
northern outposts of the Territory
which he first visited in 1894
Widely loved for his charity and
kindness, true Christian whose in
fluence extended beyond the de-
markations of his faith to impress
the lives of two generations of Alas
kans. Bishop Crimont held an i'm
portant place among the pioneers
who gave form to the Territory.
Born In France
Born at Picardy, France. on
February 2. 1858, Joseph Crimont
attended Amiens preparatory schools
and in 1875 entered the Jesuit novi-
tate of st. Acheul, at the time
Of his death being the oldest living
Jesuit. Forced to withdraw from
his studies because of illness, the
young man worked with the Jesuits
at Liege, Belgium, going to st. He'll
er on the Island of Jersey in 1884
when the French government closed
the religious communities in France.
He studied there for two years,
signing up for missionary work, then
proceeding to Woodstock, Maryland,
where he was ordained a priest on
August rs, 1888.
Comes To Alaska
AS missionary to the Grow Indians
in Montana, the Rev Crimont gain
ed his first experience in the field
and in 1894 was sent to Holy Cross
Mission After a hazardous trip
north on small freighter, the young
priest landed at st. Michaels, where
he was greeted by two earlier
missionaries, the Rev. Francis Bar
mum, S. j., classmate at Wood
stock Theological School, and the
Rev. Rabout, both of whom eyed the
slight figure obviously, urging him
to return on the first boat and de-
claring emphaticaliy, You aren't
built for this climate"
G0nzaga President
But the young man stayed, serving
at Holy Cross mission and at Nulato,
until he was sent south to recover
from rheumatism. For three years
he was president OF Gonzaga Uni
versity, Spokane, Wash, when in
1904 he resigned to return perman-
emily to the land he loved at Project
Apostolic of the Viciarage of Alaska
! Travelling by dogsled the vast dis
tances from mission to mission, often
in company with the late Anglican
Bishop Peter Irimble Rowe, he spent
six months of each year covering his
diocese, and storing up experiences
which have been commemorated in
the widely-read 'Dogsled Apostles"
OF Alma H. Savage, published last
year.

WASHINGTON-After Churchill
and Truman sent their simultane-
Gus notes to Stain reviewing all
of Russia's broken Yalta promises
ON Poland, Rumania, Yugoslavia
and Austria-Stalin replied on May
10 with smashing note to Chur-
chill and milder note to Truman.
In neither did he back down on
anything.
Apparently Churchill has an -un-
erring faculty for getting under
Stains skin. Twice be ore they
were almost at each others Threats
when the late President Roosevelt
stepped in between. This latest
Stain reply to Churchill was in
similar vein.
Il The milder note to Truman was
about eight pages long and reaf-
firmed RuSsia's desire to carry out
the Yalta Pact, but differed dia-
metrically regarding its interpreta-
ton. Stain fell back also on the
explanation that he and Roosevelt
had a personal understanding as tc
how the Yalta Pact was to be
carried out.
Admittedly, the Yalta Pact is
vague. One of the late Presidents
advisers reminded him OF this al
Yalta, and got the reply: Il know
it but it's the best I can get the
Russians to agree to without stay
ing here six weeks and ! can't stay
here six weeks" -

MEDAL OF
H0N0RF0R
6. |. HERO
President Truman Makes
Award al joint Ses-
sion Of Congress
BY HOWARD DLIEGER

WASHINGTON, May 21.-A ram
rod-stiff G. 1. sergeant from the
shrapnel-splattered battlefields of
Europe stood before his President
and the Congress today to receive
the Congressional Medal of Honor.
The sergeant, slender black haired
Jake w. Lindsey. "a, of Lucedale,
Miss, was the Tooth infantryman to
receive the coveted award, highest
in his country's gift.
Sen ators and Representatives
cheered and applauded-a few with
excited yells-as the technical SER
geant bowed his head to receive the
blue-ribboned war trophy from Pres
ident Truman.
This is a proud and moving oc-
casion for every American" the
PRECEDENT said in remarks broadcast
over all major networks.
1T follows the complete victory
of the Allied forces over a powerful
enemy in Europe 1t finds us strik-
ing devastating blows in the Pacific.
We are preparing to strike them
later in overwhelming force
Award Accepted
Mr.. Truman joined in the applause
as the young Mississippian, accom-
panied by Chief of Staff Gen.
George c. Marshall, accepted the
award and stepped from the House
dias.
1t was the first time that the halls
of Congress had become the theatre
for a Congressional Medal presen-
tation. Members of the Cabinet and
the military commanders. looked on
as the decoration was presented.
Enters with Marshall
Sergeant Lindsey entered the
bright-lighted House Chamber with
Gen. Marshall. They stepped rap
idly to a speaking stand below the
rostrum to await the Presidents ar
rival. Lindsey kept his eyes fixed
straight ahead, now and then drop
ping glance to his parents and his
sister who looked on from the House
floor.
After the ceremony Sergeant
Lindsey was the guest of honor at a
private capitol luncheon attended
by President Truman and Congress-
ional leaders. Rep. Colmer CD
Miss, the young sergeant's Con-
gresham, was host at the luncheon.
Heroic Action
Lindsey is a technical sergeant
with the American First Army, and
he fought with great distinction in
Germany.
1t was on November 16 that the
young American earned himself a
niche in his country's hall of fame.
Lindsey was platoon leader in the
10th Regiment of the First Army's
First Division when the Germans
counter attacked near Hamich, Ger
many. A fresh company Of Ger
mans, aided by five tanks, concen-
trated the full force of their assault
on the remnants of his platoon.
Lindsey was wounded in the knee
but he refused to leave the scene.
He kept his rifle blazing. When his
ammunition ran out, he fixed his
bayonet- And then, exposed himself
to fire, Lindsey went out to meet the
enemy in open terrain.
The sergeant closed in, killed
three Nazis and captured three
more. During the entire action, he
had accounted personally for twen-
ty killed, three captured, and an I'M
told number wounded.

TERRITORIAL DISPUTE

TRIESTE, May 21-The Yugo-
slave ontrolled newspaper here
adopted a conciliatory tone today
as Yugoslav authorities published
the text of Marshal Sir Harold
Alexander's message to his troops
on the dispute over italian and
Austrian territory.
The newspaper II Nostro Avenire
gave Trieste citizens and most OF
Marshal Tito's soldiers what prob
ably was their first news of Alex
ander's statement and brought the
gravity of the dispute into the open
in Trieste, but the tone of the
editorial seemed to offer the pros
pect of settlement.
THE maintenance of peace is the
task of everybody" said the. edi-
torial.

what many of our men went through" Then the General quick ly added: T know that Americans will insist that the full meaning of Japan's surrender be brought home to every subject of the Emperor. ?
 The General spoke not only of his own experiences, but also of the fate which befell many of his fel- low soldiers after their gallant but hopeless stand at Corregidor and Bataan. They were imprisoned, he said, behind barbed wire-and the bayonets of cruel jailers. And then came the horror when many brave soldiers died under the torment and starvation they needlessly were for ced to suffer.
 The General made an address be- fore Congress. speaking separately before the Senate and the House. He promised Congress that it will get the full picture of atrocities in Jap prison camps.

CANNERY TENDER
 NEARLY SUNK IN CHANNEL MI5HAp

Answering a distress call from a cannery tender here Saturday night, a U. s. Coast Guard cutter with two Coast Guard vessels assigned to the Juneau unit, went to the relief of the tender Mercury, owned by the Astoria and Puget Sound Can ming Company.
 The Mercury, Master Ralph Rob ertson, was enroute south from Ex- cursion Inlet to Seattle via Juneau and Ketchikan, with eleven aboard including the six crew members, when she struck a submerged ob- ject, thought to have been a dead head" just south of Sheep Creek Light in Gastineau Channel.
 When the relief vessels arrived, the Mercury was in sinking con- dition, her cabins and engine room completely flooded. The Coast Guard vessels put alongside the stricken craft and with their pumps managed to gain sufficient head way on the inflowing sea waters so the Mercury could be lowed to a float just below the Alaska Juneau rock dump. where she was beached at the next high tide.
 Sunday morning at low tide emer- gency repairs were made to the Mer- cury's hull. Refloated, the tender was lowed into Juneau harbor, where she was moored at the Juneau Lumber Mills dock to await repairs on the grid at the Upper City Float.
 Damage was estimated by the Mercury's captain at $5,000. mostly to personal articles and engines. The accident occurred at about II 80 o'clock Saturday night.

Greenslade, and Sentinel, Gordon Camp.
 Instruction Work

Greenslade. and Sentinel, Gordon Camp.
 Instruction Work
 After all the ceremonies were com- pleted, refreshments were served by the Whitehorse Chapter and gen. eral social time was enjoyed by all. On Friday morning most of the Skagway group left on the train for home; MT. and Mrs. Rasmussen boarded the last Yukon River steamer, en route to Fairbanks and Anchorage. Mrs. Sweeney remained over for the school of instruction Friday night and returned to Juneau Saturday afternoon.
 MT. Arnold Gutfeldt, Worthy Pat ron, and Mrs. Edith Larson. Chap lain, are Charter members of Naomi Chapter No. g at Skagway, and were especially delighted in having part in the institution of the Whitehorse Chapter.
 Another item of interest was the fact that an American Chapter in- stituted a Canadian chapter, and while this is unusual, it will be recorded in the history of the new chapter as an example of the close ties and friendliness existing between the two countries.
 The members of the Whitehorse Chapter have long wanted to or ganize a Chapter and have worked hard towards completion of plans which would bring this about. Their enthusiasm is a good indication of the success which the Chapter will enjoy, and inspired by the beauti- full teachings of the Order as ex- plained by Mrs. Lander, the Chap ter should soon pass from infancy to full growth and usefulness in the community life of Whitehorse.
 Mrs. Lander will pass through Juneau early Tuesday morning en route to Seattle, and has promised to return to see more of the great nCrthland. Alaska and the Yukon Territory have made a deep im- pression on Mrs. Lander, and need less to say, Mrs. Lander will be long remembered by every person with whom she had even the clightest contact.
