 Late Yesterday

Adrian Casey" Rolf, Juneau air pilot, met death late yesterday after noon in a crash at Excursion Inlet Rolf was flying the Alaska Coastal Airlines Fairchild 24 seaplane, with two passengers aboard

Patrick Spradling, was bruised about the head, observ- CTS reported. The other passenger was M/Sgt. Carl Bosler. They were taken to the Excursion Inlet base hospital
 The two passengers made their way clear of the wreckage and chung to the tail assembly of the plane, protruding above the surface, until rescued by boat. Rolf, apparently knocked unconscious, was found still in the plane when it was raised two hours later. His death was believed due to drowning, though no medical report has yet been received here.
 Plunges Into Sea
 Persons witnessing the crash from the shore were generally agreed that the plane had just taken off for Juneau from the glass-smooth wat CTS after a long run and was in a turn at an altitude of about 100 feet when it plunged into the sea.
 Roff's body was flown to Juneau last evening by AGA pilots Shell Simmons and Ray Renshaw, who went to the crash scene with a shop crew in the Grumman flying boat. Funeral services are to be held next Tuesday afternoon at ? o'clock, from the Chapel of the Charles w. Garter Mortuary.

WASHINGTON-No Secretary of State in years has inherited greater responsibilities than Jimmy Byrnes. No man in history carries with him as he goes to London or as he goes about his daily work greater hopes of all mankind.
 Dimly at first, but definitely now that the horrors of the atomic bomb are known, the mothers and fathers who sent their sons to war and the wives who suffered at home and the men who fought the war realize what would happen if there should be another war. And their hopes and fears center on the one man who must pilot our foreign affairs through the tangled skein of misunderstanding through the international jeal- ousies, the rivalries, the clashing interests and personalities-to the difficult, elusive goal of permanent peace.
 Few men in history also have a more rounded background to pre- pare them for being Secretary of State than Jimmy Byrnes. He has known what it was to battle things out in both Houses of Congress for 26 long years. He has sat on the highest court of the country. He

TOKYO, Sept. 8--Gen. MacAr- thur, stunning all fanfare as conqueror, entered Tokyo today with fully armed troops of the First Cavalry Division and officially signalized the occupation of this war wrecked city with a l0-minute flag raising ceremony.
 The Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers was stern of visage and firm of voice at the U. s. Embassy grounds--wi five min- Gtes drive of Emperor Hirohito's 2alace-as he ordered.

 The General and his men. cover ing the last mile of the long hard road from Australia, came as the first foreign victors ever to enter this heart of surrendered Japan Tn their hour of triumph. they were all business.
 There was no parade of pomp The word had been out that the men would march from the Diet Building to the Embassy.
 Americans Mcye In
 Instead, they moved in so un- cstentatiously with their trucks, jeeps and weapons-carriers that the sight of the flag the one which flew from the Capitol in Washington Dec. T l94l, then in triumph over Rome and Berlin was the first notice to many Tokyo residents that the Americans had come.
 Maj. Gen. William c. Chase's proud First Cavalry Division had q huge sign ready. lettered First Cavalry Division First in Tokyo as they waited at Chofu. on the SOulnWeSt outSkHlS.

 Tanks Held Up
 Tanks had rolled up to the out skirts. They halted there. Mac Arthur chose not to bring them in unless needed to avoid further Tokyo's streets.
 The raising of the flag over the embassy grounds--rather than ever a Japanese building Such as the Diet, in the gesture of an conqueror--was impressive in it's simplicity.
 MacArthur's face, behind which he often hides his emotions, was of serious mien.

 He arrived shortly before the II a. m. ceremony d0 p. m. Friday EWT), after motoring from Yoko- hama. His khaki-colored car with five stars rolled up the short in- cline within the embassy compound through an honor guard of the Seventh Regiment, First Cavalry Division, with fixed bayonets.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8 - Presi- dent Truman is attempting to draft Governor Ellis Arnall of Georgia to become Solicitor General of the United States. He has also selected Under Secretary of War Patterson to fill the Owen D. Roberts va cancy on the Supreme Court.
 Unless there is last-minute hitch, Pattersons name will go to the Senate almost immediately, to- gether with list of other import ant judicial appointments.
 Coy. Arnalfs name probably will not go to the Senate immediately however, due to the fact that he has not given the White House a definite answer as to whether he is willing to leave the goyernorship of Georgia.
 Arnall's preferred appointment is considered one of the most import ant Truman has made. due to the fact that the Georgia Governor led the fight in the Chicago Con- vention last year for Henry Wal lace and against Truman. Arnall not only campaigned through the South, but voted the Georgia Dele gation solidly for Wallace and made one of the most aggressive fights on the convention floor for Wallace.
 Arnall's Showing
 However, Arnalls spectacular showing before the U. s. Supreme Court in arguing the Georgia Railroad Case attracted Truman s attention, and he is anxious to get the most outstanding man possible to fill the important post of So- licitcr General, whose job it is to plead all Justice Department cases before the Supreme Court.
 In winning his railroad case be- fore the Supreme Court last year, the Georgia Governor pioneered new law by getting the court to recognize for the first time in his- tory that a state can appear before the Supreme Court as trial court without going up through the lower courts.
 War Department Politics
 Truman's expected appointment of Under Secretary of War Patter- son to the Supreme Court, accord ing to White House insiders, is being made to permit the appoint ment of new Secretary of War.
 Henry L. Stimson's resignation as Secretary of War will be accepted shortly and Truman does not want to promote Patterson to be Secre- tary of War, due to the ineff- ciencies the Truman Committee found in the Under Secretary of Wars office As a palliative to Pat terson, he will get coveted place on the highest bench.
 Some Senatorial opposition to Patterson's appointment is ex-

equal acceptance to the users and sup
porters of both systems, still the pro
posed plan is a guarantee of vexation
and Illustration for the co-operatives
because it is impossible to disassociate
politics from direct government lend
ing which presupposes annual appro
priations and what goes with them
political distribution and patronage. II
has been so in the department of agri-
culture, and if direct lending is taken
out of the department and put under
a board, it only means that the tur-
MOL and headaches are transferred
from the department to board where
they will continue with equal vexa-
ton. But the point is that none of
this turmoil belongs to the co-opera-
tive system, and it is outrageous to
subject the co-operatives to it. Ham
pered by such situation the cooper
alive contribution to our national we'll
being would shrivel and wane.
If the users and owners of cooper
ative farm credit had at this time au-
thentic organs of speech there is no
doubt that they would give mandate
to perfect this great cooperative, re-
move the Stacking inhibitions, and
guarantee it every facility with which
to do the appointed task for the Amer
lean farmer and the American way of

A Letter To-


(COntfnued from rage oneJ
tive, Ralph K. Davies, ran the show
for the benefit of the few and at the
expense of many, including all Ameri
can taxpayers.
Your article states that failure OF
an agreement in London might well
be the first step down the road to
another war. The facts are that the
success of the compromise might lay
the foundation for another war.
Secretary Ickes told Davies eff you
do a good job you will be rewarded
by senate investigation" and my
thought is, if successful compromise
is made among the three major pow
ers to cut up these Middle East oil
lands, it certainly should be the sub
ject for complete senate investiga-
ton of this land-grab.
The first London oil meeting failed
not for the reason that it failed to
satisfy the industry as whole, but
failed because Secretary Ickes wanted
to put the United States government
into the oil business by building gov
ernment-owned line to Mediterran-
can seaport. This should give clear
picture of how the average indepen-
dent oil man views the Deputy Pc
troleum Administrator for War

over Los Alamos, N. NJ, where the
| first atom test was made?
Scientists are wondering. Stocks
of film in plant 1900 miles from Los
Alamos were found to be mysteriously
logged. Inquiry disclosed that the
strawboard boxes for wrapping were
radioactive.
Then the Eastman Kodak plant in
Rochester, N. Y, found shipments of
strawboard so radioactive they didn't
try to use them
Tracing further, DR.. Robley d.
Evans, of the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, finds that a cutting of
straw from an Illinois field, source of
that used in the boxes, was NOT
radioactive on July IA, the day before
the Los Alamos blast. But a cutting
of August WAS radioactive.
No, there aren't any positive con-
illusions. Scientists admit active in
gradients of the bomb which did not
go through fission might have been
carried to a high altitude, borne east
ward on trade winds, and precipitated
by rain on the Illinois fields"
1t will be some time before it is
learned whether any livestock which
might have eaten affected grain would
in turn be affected perhaps with ster-
ility.
From bomb to cloud, to rain, to
traw, to cardboard boxesl And where
from there?
AS we read this piece over, it seems
we're giving our readers a sort of con-
centrated horror story. If so, the
point is:

He CAN control the atomic bomb.

CLINICS FOR
CRIPPLED
CHILDREN

The director of the division of serv
ices for crippled children of the Mon
tana State Board of Health, DR.
Edythe Hershey, announces that fal
clinics for crippled children Of Mon
tana were held as usual These elm
les were held in order that every chile
with Gripping condition might be
discovered, diagnosed, and recommen
dations made for treatment and cor
rection of the condition. Every child
who reported to the clinic was fol
lowed up through the Public Health
Nursing service to ascertain whether
the child was under care or whether
the parents wished to- make applica
ton for assistance through the divi
sion of services for crippled children
in order that recommended care may
be provided. These clinics also made
possible supervision of patients who
previously had been under treatment
as authorized through the division OF
services for crippled children of the
state board of health.
Clinics were held in IL centers SO
that children from every county in
the state might receive the benefits
of this service. The clinic in Helena
will be held December 5, 1915, at the
Shodair Hospital and will be for those
residing in Lewis and Clark, Jeffer.
son, and Broadwater Counties.
Arrangements for these clinics were
made through the othopaedic nursing
consultant, Miss Sarah N. Barnes, in
cooperation with local public health
nurses and the department of public
welfare.
An orthopatedic surgeon made the
examination and recommendations re.
garding orthopaedic condition and a
pediatrician gave general physical ex-
aminations. DR.. L. w. Allard, Bill.
ings; DR.. J. X. Colman, Butte and
Dr. S. L. Odgers, Butte are the ohio
paedic consultants participating in the
services.
Any persons under 81 years of age,
having a physical handicap resulting
from Gripping condition, are eligi-
BILE for examination. The patient may
be referred through the family physi-
clan who desires the patient to be
examined by an orthopaedic surgeon,
or who wishes to refer the patient for
care by the division of services for
crippled children If assistance is need
ed in order for the patient to receive
care If the patient has not been ex-
amined by physician, he may be re-
ferred through a public health nurse
or the department of public welfare
Diagnostic services are made avail
able for any patient, but only those
needing financial assistance are ac-
cepted for care by the division of serv-
ices for crippled children. Appoint
ment for examination should be re-
quested Immediately through the local
public health nurse of the department
of public welfare.
A representative of the Vocational
Rehabilitation bureau is present at
each clinic for interviews regarding
vocational training and other services
of the bureau for those over 16 years
of age.
