Tests W arrant Further Search For Barrow Oil

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3l-lP)- Evidence uncovered this year makes Navy oil experts more confident than ever that there is every justification for continuing the search for oil" in the Barrow Naval oil reserve. Capt. Gillespie, head of the petroleum section of the Navy's bureau of yards and docks, expressed the belief that the work should be carried on by civilian contractors for the Navy and work the test well site at Umiat, three hundred thirty-one miles southeast of Point Barrow.
 ColVille river is now closed down for the winter, and the work to date has been done by Navy Seabees, but all of these are expected to be back home by early next year, before the new working season opens. Gillespie said the test drill thus far had produced no oil, but there was every evidence, including oil seepage throughout the area which indicates it's presence and warrants further investigation.

 Governor Gruening stated that his office was ready and willing to give every assistance possible to the citizens of Nome who have sustained loss or damage in the storm.
 The party has been in confer ence with Mayor Edward Seiden- Verg and the Council members, and other citizens of Nome to as certain the extent of the damage and whether or not relief or assist ance is required.

Half Million Dollar Damage From Storm

A survey of the Wreckage age wrought by the high winds and water show that about half a million dollars damage was done along Nome's waterfront at the time of the season when it will be hardest to replace and rebuild. NOme'S harbOr revetment in the part near the Lomen warehouse gave way and much ground was washed away on the road which goes around the waterfront. Hun dreds of oil barrels which were piled on the sand spit have been afloat and lost. Others drifted across the river and now are on Belmont Point.
 The U. s. Engineer deisel tug which was on winter ways went adrift when the blocking floated away, but is safe again on its side
 The Wallace Hotel, Pete Olsens, Nome Liquor Store and the City Hall and Fire Station suffered no loss.
 The North Pole Bakery had some water in the bake shop, which is in the rear of the base ment, and no bread was baked Monday nor Tuesday. It is estim- ated that it will cost around five hundred dollars in order to put the equipment back into shape.
 The Paterson Hotel sustained no actual damage, although there was water in the basement. The Board of Trade, P.A.A. and co. Tanner office sustained no loss although the law office of C. C. Tanner had to have chimney re- placed.
 The bulkhead of the Dream Theater held up well but the base ment with the heating plant was filled with sand and water.
 The Nome Grill reports no dam age.
 The bulkhead of the N. C. store gave way with the force of the breakers which sprayed over the top of the store and into Front Street. Fearing the whole bulk head would go, precaution was taken to remove the merchandise in the basement to the main floor. Loss of equipment in the garage which was destroyed, and the de- struction by water and sand, is estimated at above twenty thousand dollars.
 The Alaska Steamship Co. bulk head, which is connected with the N. C. bulkhead began to give way, but there was no damage to the building.
 The Coffee Cup, and Nome Plumbing Co.,, were left standing on piles, with the surf having pen

He reviewed the stipulations that
Fitzgerald had not been drinking

do not want to reveal any of the
details at this writing. However
we would like to talk about
Greenberg's potentialities as big
league manager.
You don't begin to know base
ball until you hear it from the
lips of a veteran like Hank. Ev-
cry fan prides himself on his
knowledge of inside baseball but
after listening to the big fellow
talk you open your eyes. His
study of baseball percentages and
values is astounding. A great
believer in percentage baseball
Hank explains readily what he
can expect to do in a season. If
he has bad days he is not annoy
ed. 81 know on the over all I
will get so many hits, and so
many homers. Why worry? I
can reasonably expect three: hits
every ten times at bat. Above
that, okay."
AS you listen to Hank explain
ing various aspects of the game
you realize how hard he has stud
led. Most ball players do their
chores instinctively, they cannot
explain why they do things GER
tain ways. Hank is different. He
knows the whyfores and the
Wherefores.
He tells how Joe Mccarthy
manages the Yankees. You can
see Hank has great admiration for
the N. Y. pilot. In fact Hanks
baseball theories are much in line
with McCarthy's. No doubt Hank
would love some day to handle
big league club. He has one
fear about not succeeding. He is
fearful lest he misjudge the play
ing potentials of players Compel
ing for the same position. We
think he stresses this point too
much. The manner in which he
discusses the respective potentials

1t is eleven years since I last
saw Hank Greenberg. OF course
I have watched Hank in action
numerous times during the past
decade but didn't get to converse
with him during these years. In
1884 we had a long talk concern
ing his big league career which
was just getting underway. Since
that day our paths never crossed.
The years roll by quickly and
Hank now only has at best three
or four good years left. He'll be
thirty five come New Years Day.
We got together twice last week
for two long bull sessions. Hank
has really come along. The years
have treated him nicely. He looks
the same to me today as he did
in the fall of 1884.
For the first time we learned
how tough it was for Hank to
get in playing shape last sum-
mer. Were it not for the fact
the Tigers were battling for the
pennant Hank would have start
ed playing at a much later date.
"O'Neil was so nice about the
whole thing, I just had to get in
right away" Hank explains.
The story of his comeback
will be told shortly by Hank in

Ernie Pyle

There was a streak OF genius in
Ernie Pyle. Like other forms of
genius it was difficult to define. He
wrote we'll. but other good news
paper reporters enjoy a facility Of
expression. He felt deeply the
things that those about him felt
and he had an instructive discern
ment in selecting the things to write
about that people would want to
know But other members of his
craft share such gifts.
His own genius seems to have been
the result of rare combination OF
qualities that gave him access to
peoples hearts and made him one
of them That was what distin-
guished him as an artist. Whether
in talking with the soldiers or in
writing about them he struck
chord that brought response be-
cause of its unconscious appeal to
the best that is in us all. AS a
foundation for his incredible sue
cess as war correspondents sue
cess. incidentally. that amazed him
yet left him unspoiled-he had a
good heart and good mind. His
integrity was reflected in his writ
ten words and in his conduct. As
an all-around newspaperman he
could hold his own in any company.
Before he took to the road as a
travelling reporter in peacetimes,
the road that ed so inevitably to
the fighting frol..s in war. he had
gained a reputa, ion among his
brethren as a top-n otch desk man"
and as an editorial executive Of
great promise on the Washington
Daily News. He was the sort OF
newspaperman about whom legends
grow.
It is hard now to think Of him as
gone. A fatalistic premonition told
him he was apt to go. and he was
prepared for it as much as any man
of courage is prepared. One may
be sure that he will be welcomed
by the brave company he has joined.
The fighting men have lost a faith
full chronicler who saw things as
they saw them. But what he put
down in prose will remain, an i'm
perishable record of his people at
war.

The Senate GoyeI

In succeeding Mr.. Truman as the
Senate's presiding officer Senator
Mcclellan, Democrat, of Tennessee
acquires another mark of distinction
and certain emoluments, but it is
doubtful if the new title can add
anything to the influence he already
possessed by reason of a combina-
ton Of circumstances.
The veteran Tennessean inherits
the gavel because in January he was
elected by the Senate as its President
pro tempore-to preside in the alb
sence of the Vice President. But be-
fore that honor was conferred on
him Senator McKellar had become
dean of the chamber, acting head OF
the powerful Appropriations Com
mittee and chairman of the Post
ONCE and Post Roads Committee.
He is a man of strong convictions, an
indefatigable worker and one who
never goes into legislative battle
half-heartedly. These characteristics.
coupled with the positions he has
attained through length of service,
make him an influential Senator,
irrespective of his new title as pre-
siding officer.
Although it will be his function
to call the Senate to order at noon
each day, he will still be one OF Ten
nessee's Senators, entitled to take
the floor in debate, to vote on all
roll calls and retain his committee
assignments. The Vice President
had a vote only to break tie.
AS presiding officer Senator Nc
Kellar will be called on to interpret
Senate rules when parliamentary
snarls develop, but in most cases
there are long established prece-
dents for any given situation. The
actual business of presiding is not
expected to take up much of the
Tennessee Senator's time The most
tangible effect of the change will
be that the President pro tempore
will be entitled to an additional
$4,000 year to bring his senatorial
salary up to that of the Vice Presi-
dent.
Unless President dies, the Vice
Presidency-now vacant-is indeed

ne would not attend the San Francisco
conference, and that he had no plans
for putting Mr.. Byrnes into public ONCE
and that when he wanted his advice
he would send for Mr.. Byrnes. Further,
the President gave Mr.. stettinius q pat
on the back when he said that he,
the President. did not intend to 90 at
any time to San Francisco during the
conference. He said competent dele
cation was going to the conference and
that he would back 1t to the limit from
his desk in the White House-and he
added-where he ought to be. Such plain
talk made hit
Veteran correspondents recall few
times when the press has applauded
a Chief Executive at q White House
conference. But the newspapermen gave
Mr.. Truman q round Of 1t, when he
expressed himself forcibly in support
Of the dignity Of the presidential ofice.
The incident came when he was asked
if he expected Mr.. Molotov, the Russian
Minister Of Foreign Affairs. to visit him
on his way to the San Francisco Con-
ference. Mr.. Truman replied that he
did expect Mr.. Molotov to call upon
him-and he added, he should.
Mr. Truman, 1t should be remembered
is by no means a novice when 1t comes
to dealing with the press. For 10 years
he was q member Of the Senate, before
he became Vice President. He saw plenty
OF the press as chairman Of the Senate
investigating committee which bore his
name, and during the presidential CAM
paign last year. He has always been
frank-even to the extent Of being i'm
polite, according to some. But he has
never sought to deceive the press.
Mr.. Roosevelt's handling OF his press
conferences was almost always a mas
terful job. indeed, a classical Job. It was
natural that the correspondents, having
for IL years met with the late President,
should in the great majority be in
terested in the methods of the new man
in the White House. Mr.. Truman will
not be as colorful as his predecessor, but
if his first conference with the press Is
a criterion. he will do pretty we'll in
the production OF news. which after all
Is what the correspondents 90 to the
White House for.

This Changing World
By Consfantine Bro,vn

A meeting OF representatives Of the
Big Three In the near future has be-
come must" ut . moment when the
German forces are collapsing and the
Allies will be in full control OF the larg-
est sections of the Reich
There are many vital problems con-
nected with the collapse Of Germany
which were just touched on at the Yalta
Conference, but have not been further
developed. And since President Tru-
man Is neither willing nor able to leave
the United States and Premier Stain
Is similarly disposed about leaving Rus
sia, the unfinished Yalta business will
have to be left for discussion to the for
eien ministers Of the principle powers.
One OF the foremost problems con-
fronting the Allies in the near future is
the matter of reparations.
At the Crimean Conference 1t was de-
cided that committee representing
America, Russia and Britain would be
set up Immediately to begin reparations
discussions. In the last few weeks there
have been negotiations and discussions
= ncerning the composition of the COM
] .ttee, but the conversations have not
gone beyond the preliminary stage.
The Russians Of course, are demand
ing full reparations in kind from the
Germans and are believed to have
worked out plan for conquered areas
which they are likely to put into effect
immediately-some say it already is in
operation.
The French also are asking for full
reparations. The British want COM
pensation for the devastations suffered
in England In this war, while the United
States has made no definite claim on
anything.
According to available reports, the
Big Three decided at Yalta that a COM
mission representing the interested pow
ers would be established at the earliest
possible date to prevent any unilateral
action by any power. The Allied leaders
are said to have agreed that Germany
would form pool from which each Of
the damaged countries, including some
OF the smaller United Nations members,
would draw fair share of what ID found
available in the Reich. Unless this pro-
tected commission is set up Immediately,
there may be frictions and misunder-
standings which all governments wish
to avoid.
Another important matter is that of
the German labor in Russia and France

Mr.. Trumun's Number

The discussion concerning whether
Harry S. Truman is the thirty
second or the thirty-third President
of the United States traces back
nearly half century. It's origin
lies in a debate over the numerical
position of the man who was Chief
Executive from 1885 to 1889 and
again from 1893 to 1897. All author
tiles concede that Grover Cleveland
was Number Twenty-Five in the
roster of the Nations chosen leaders.
The question about which there is
disagreement is: Was he also Num-
ber Twenty-Four?
In many annual editions of the
World Almanac up to and including
1943, Mr.. Cleveland appeared under
both designations. But in the issue
for 1914 and for the current year
he is mentioned only as the twenty
second President. The change,
naturally, involves an alteration in
the number assigned to William
Mckinley, formerly considered the
twenty-fifth, now referred to as the
twenty-fourth. No explanation of
the revision is found In the Almanac.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Mckinley retains
his traditional status in the Diction-
ary of American Biography, the Ency-
clopaedia Britannica, the Americana
and other supposedly reliable COM
pendiums. Who Was Who confirms
him as the twenty-fifth President
by listing Theodore Roosevelt as the
twenty-sixth, William Howard Taft
as the twenty-seventh, Woodrow
Wilson as the twenty eighth, War
rem G. Harding as the twenty ninth
and Calvin Coolidge as the thirtieth.
Herbert Hoover, the only living ex-
President, speaks Of himself in the
