WAR RESULTS IN GREAT CHANGES
 TO ESKIMO LIFE

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, June B. A school teacher among the Eskimos says fear of Japanese invasion of the Aleutians early in the wal has helped solve the Eskimos' meat shortage.
 A kind of sausage made then out of salt pork and coarse black meat from whales, stuffed into cloth sacks and stored in large quantities, proved so tasty they now eat it as part of their regular diet.
 Threats of war shortages are now gone," Mrs. William Thomas, a teacher at Quinhagak, on Kus- kowim Bay, said today. But they still make and eat that sausage. !"
 War has changed Eskimos in other ways. Extra money from war work has brought improvements in dress and diet, but not in living accommodations.
 Many now bake bread, rolls and cookies, instead of eating the soggy pancakes of their ancestors" she said. Their favorite drink is tea. It first became popular when some cannery operator gave them tea in part payment of wages. Now their cooperative stores carry large stocks"
 The younger generation has given up much native garb for mail-order clothes but native-made seal gut boots, mukluks and par kas are still in use.
 Last fall she and older Eskimos listened all day and night to radio election returns.
 After all the turmoil and shout ing and counting was over, they were puzzled why Roosevelt was still president" she said.

WAVE OFFICERS ARE RECOGNIZED,
 MILITARY DUTY
Will Undergo Rigorous Training-To Serve in
 Hawaii, AIeufians

WASHINGTON, June 8.-Eighty Wave officers designated as naval air navigators are the first women in American history eligible to serve in military flight crews.
 Subjected to the same rigorous training given men selected for similar assignments, the Waves will wear regulation Navy navigator wings.
 While trained primarily to re- place male navigators assigned to sea duty, the women officers all ready have proved their versatility in every phase of air navigation, the Navy said, and are functioning now as navigational instructors.
 In addition, they will serve as trans-ocean navigators in theaters where Waves may be assigned to duty. This will permit them to join crews flying to such points as Hawaii and the Aleutians.

then each individual request will be honored. The remaining dead would be buried in permanent National Cemeteries in the several theatres of war.
 Representative Mills of Arkansas made a proposal some time back that ex-service men and women should be made eligible for compensation payments for disease or injury suf- fered within five years after dis charge. He introduced legislation (R H 2015) to do this. The bill also proposes compensation for widows, children and dependent parents of servicemen who die from such dis abilities within five years after dis charge. Nothing has come of the proposal-yet.

WASHINGTON - I have few little items that I've picked up here
 and there. I guess maybe I ought to get them off my chest. I don't pre-
 tend they're new or even startling,
 but they belong in this space some place because it's vets column.
 Any veteran who expects to get going in a new business for himself
 isn't supposed to be hampered by lack of telephone service.
 When equipment is available, 1t will be supplied to any new business substantially owned and principally operated or managed" by a veteran who applies for telephone facilities within 12 months after being sep arted from the armed forces. The quotes are from a ruling of the War Production Board. Only trouble, I'm afraid, is that there are plenty of places where the equipment just isn't available.
 The WIPE also authorizes the in- stallation of a residence phone for any widow of a man who died in service (after January l, l940) if she has one or more children aged ten or younger.
 Representative John Lesinski tMich.) who is chairman of the House Committee on Invalid Pen a,o kil1 in, fhn HnlCo l2D providing for adjusted service credits Ca bonus) to be given to veterans in the nature of non-trans- ferrable bonds. Senator Joseph Guffey Pa) also has bonus bill in the Senate (S 675). It would provide one years pay for every ex-service man and woman Those with less than one year of service would get a proportionate amount. The latest bonus suggestion is Rep resentative Rankin's CMiss) S20-a- week-f or-a-year adjusted compen- sation," payable to veterans of 90 days or more service. Offhand, it seems to have the best chance of any of being accepted.
 Representative Jerry Voorhis of California wants service men to save. His idea, put into words in H R l43. would establish system of saving deductions from pay-each dollar saved to be matched by the government with an additional dol lar. Entire amounts would go to purchase non interest bearing bonds in the soldiers name.
 There's a proposal that 122,900, 900 be appropriated to provide enough National Cemeteries so there'll be at least one in every state. The dough will also be used in part to improve existing National Cemeteries.
 Senator Hill of Alabama is propos- ing an expanded National Cemetery program (S 52D and he is using study made by the Quartermaster Generals office. $109,0Oo,000 is pro- posed for new cemeteries, about $l TOOL for improvements, $9,000,- coo for operating personnel, and S2 2,60c 900 for funeral equipment and transportation.

Emulating Stanley, we -ex-
plored the catacombs of Griffith
; Stadium last night, looking for
man who would come right
out and say Buddy Walker threw
that fight to Arturo Godoy. We
didn't find our DR.. Livingstone,
but we met some interesting
people.
Packing in our safari such
terms as splash" tank" WA
ter follies," dump" bag" and
other quaint phrases used in fis-
tinia to describe what happens
when a boxer deliberately loses
a fight, we buttonholed almost
every one connected with boxing
here.
We frankly hadn't seen the
punch that supposedly KOd
Walker at 2:43 of the fifth. We
didn't see the one that put him
on the canvas for count
earlier in that round, either. To
put it mildly, there was a touch
of skepticism about the whole
thing.
We grabbed one of the in
spectors on the Boxing Commits
sion staff. His name can't be
used because he likes to have a
regular job and finds it pleasant
to eat regularly.
Listen, buddy" he said. IT
told you three days ago that this
one was in the bag"
We took that statement to
Promoter Goldie Ahearn, who

was writing out an admission
slip so that Walker could 60 to
Garfield Hospital for the routine
examination required Of all boxers
knocked out here.
Nobody seems to have seen the
punch he knocked you out with,
Walker" we said. Which one
was it?"
II don't know" Walker said.
"I swear I don't. I remember his
butting me and going down for
short count, and then I got up
and all of a sudden I felt this
pain in my stomach and that's
all I know. I didn't see the
punch that did 1t, either"
We had a bright idea. Why
pot visit Godoy? His dressing
room was crowded and the air
was filled with excited Latin
American talk. Several officers
of the Chilean Navy were pres
ent and every one began to sing
,the Chilean National Anthem,
with a braided commander lead
ing the chorus. Godoy was sing
ing louder than any one.
We managed to get through
the mob and when the song had
finished and the jabber started
again, We mustered our best
Berlitz School Spanish and ad-
dressed Senor Godoy. It turned
out that he speaks English,
fortunately.
"Ah," said the hefty South
American. you want to know
how I knock heem down, huh?

grabbed one ear while AL WE'LL,
manager of Godoy, fastened on
to the other.
why should I rig the fight?"
WE'LL said. Il knew Godoy could
lick him. Otherwise I'd never
have signed for it. We've got
fights with Jimmy Bivins, Tami
Mauriello and Joe Baksi hang
ing in the balance and maybe a
shot at Joe Louis. Godoy can lick
Walker every night in the week
and twice on Sunday. And be-
sides, I've never been mixed up
in anything like that"
And BESIDES" said Ahearn,
breaking into the discussion.
Let me tell you something.
Somebody, and you know who,
has been going around town for
a week saying that Walker was
all set to splash for Godoy.
Everybody heard the rumor and
they came out here expecting to
see a tank job. No matter what
had happened, they would be-
lieve it was that way"
Referee Charley Reynolds and
Inspector Clarence Talley both
thought the fight was okay and
are willing to go on record to that
effect. But we thought we'd find
the true answer in Walkers
dressing room.
Walker was sitting on the rub
bing bench holding his stomach.
DR.. Leon Gordon of the Boxing
Commission medical staff was
lowering over him. DR.. Gordon

MINNEAPOLIS, May 15.-John s.
Getchen. A, who died here yester-
day of a heart attack, was known
widely as one of the Midwest's out
standing football officials, but was
best remembered for two decisions -
In the Notre Dame e-Carnegie Tech
game of 1888 and the Northwestern
Minnesota duel of 1886.
The first game was scoreless in
the last quarter and Carnegie had
the ball near midfield when Quar-
terback Paul Friedlander asked Ref
cree Getchell what down 1t was
Getchell replied, Third" and Fried
lander called a running play and
failed to make first down.
1t was then discovered it was
fourth down and Notre Dame took
the ball and scored in three plays
to win, TO. It was Techs first loss.
In 1886 Getchell charged Min
nesota's captain, Ed Widseth, with
slugging and gave Northwestern the
ball yard from the goal. North
western scored and won, swapping
the Gophers' string of 20 consecu-
tive victories. Pictures later proved
Getchell wrong.
The referees admission of his mis-
takes won him the title of Honest
john" and even the teams he ruled
against admitted he called them as
he saw them.

Griffs for First 1ime Pfuy Off
Postponement on First Round

Bluege said. 1t was just a week ago
that Niggeling took a licking from
the Browns in St. Louis. He was
bothered by heavy cold then. but
today announced he had fully re-
covered and was ready to go.
The poStponement yesterday was
a boon to George Case, veteran out
fielder, and the majors base-stealing
leader In the recent series in Chi
Icago, George aggravated an old leg
injury and would not have taken his
rightfield post with the Mats had the
game been played. The layoff eased
the ailment to such an extent that
Case believes he'll get on the field
tonight. II he can't, Jake Powell
likely will be sent into rightfield.
Vaughn May Be Big Help.
Fred Vaughn, filling in at second
base for the injured George Myatt,
may provide some of the long hitting
the Mats so sorely have needed.
Fred is no green pea" at second
base, either. He did all right after
Myatt was forced from the White
Sox twin-bill in Chicago Sunday and
looked particularly good in the pivot
of double-play.
Nothing can be done by the Mats
about acquiring John Godfrey
Heath, Cleveland outfielder with a
healthy punch, until he signs with
the Tribe. He's sulking at his
Seattle (Wash) home, not holding
out for more money, but for assur-
ance Cleveland will trade him If he
signs.

Well, I go like theese, biff, bang,
like that, and the poor fellow. he
60 down. I do it with these"
And he held up his hamlike
fists, both of them. A big help,
Senor Arturo.
Last of all we talked with Joe
Fan, the guy who puts his money
on the line. Joe, in this case,
represents dozen assorted spec
tators whose viewpoints were
unanimous.
What; makes them think they
can pull stuff like this on Wash
ington," Joe said. I'm not saying
that Godoy isn't good. What little
I saw of him, he looked good. I
like him as fighter, but why
don't they put some one in there
who could have given him a
battle? 1t appeared to me like
Walker was pulling his punches
most Of the way, and / never saw
the punch that put him down"
There it is-the evidence we
managed to gather. Reach your
