Tot Found Safe In Hole

Subject of a frantic search last Saturday evening, Sherry Kay Kriener, 2-year-old' daughter of MT. and Mrs. Bill Kriener, was found safe and sound in a hole along side the foundations of a building on the Sargent property on the opposite side of the road from the Beachcomber's.
 Mrs. Kriener had put her daughter, with her hat and coat on, in the yard to play and ap- parently Sherry Kay decided to explore bit, accompanied by her cat. She crossed the road from her home and wandered in- to the unoccupied Sargent prop erty, located on a peninsula with sharp rock bluffs. Only a few feet from where she was found in the hole into which she tumbled was a rock bluff with the waters of the bay below.
 After Mrs. Kriener missed the youngster the aeighborhood was thoroughly searched and MT. Kriener was called, and sailors and shore patrol joined in look ing for the lost child with fash lights.
 As Mrs. Kriener approached the building where Sherry Kay was the cat mewed and came forward to greet her and she ran over and discovered her child in the hole.
 The child had taken her hat and coat of and placed them be. side her, and had apparently cried go much when she first fell in that she couldn't cry any more. She was unharmed, but hungry.
 Sherry Kay was back playing this week, but it is reported she can't be budged from her yard.

Kodiak Has Huge Vote

n icNOin foNS JAcl nuoil Ol 400 was counted at the Kodiak and one out of town precinct in Tuesdays election, with 340I casting ballots at the city hall, and 49 voting at the ComLlis- sioners office.
 Statehood boiled 295 afIirma- tive votes against 90 negative, a more than 8 to 1 ratio in favor of action on making Alaska into a state.
 The blanket primary election system was approved 3l7 to 70
 Surprise feature of the local balloting was the big upswing in Republican votes. In previous elections Republican candidates tagged aloEg at a ratio of ap- proximately Co 10, whereas in Tuesdays voting Republicans ran a strong second in many of fees at a rGiio Of 2 to 8, and gar- nered some first places.
 Henry Benson, Republican led with l6S votes 10 Walter Sharpe with ll5, for Commissioner of Labor, with Ross Kimball, lnde- pendent a poor third with 20.
 For Senators, two highest were Stanley McCutoheon, (D) with lS9 and Gunnard Engebreth, R) with i49.
 In the Representative race Kodiak voted straight Democrat, with Evangeline Atwood, (R) as Sth place runner-up.
 Excitement reigned at the polls when the deluge of voters exhausted the supply of ballots m early afternoon, and sample ballots were pressed into service. When these ran out at the city hall canvass of stores was made to pick up samples that had been distributed, and the 340th voter used the very last one available. At the Commissioners office the same story was told. only all samples were used and the last 1 voters registered their intent on typed ballots.
 Good weather and the state hood question contributed to the turnout, but moot credit was giv-  to an outstanding "Gst Out the Vote" campaign conducted by members of the Business and Professional Women's Club. Members secured the town for reluctant voters and were re- sponsible for an amazing num- Der who admitted they had never voted before.
 The campaigns pert in the record tally can be gauged by ! the past vote compared to Tues dsy-l942, ll2-l944, l72, and I946, 3s9-s more than double | increase.

Hurting The Administration

The Trum~n administration has sui
fered many blows in recent months
heavy blows that have brought the
President into disfavor with innumer-
able persons of all political faiths. But
perhaps the hardest blow yet is the re-
port of John Steelman, the new dl-
rector of War Mobilization and Recon-
version, in which the Hedging mobili-
ger, with aid from his predecessor, the
present Secretary of the Treasury, Mr..
Snyder, gives the administration a COM
plete withdrawing.
Mr.. Steelman says in his report that
the administration has made practical
ly no mistakes in charting the nations
change-over from a wartime to a peace
time economy. Where mistakes have
been made, he declares, they were the
work of business or Congress.
Certainly Mr.. Truman's truest
friends could not endorse this. The ma
ton has still to elect a President in
capable of erring. To attribute to Pres
ident Truman superhuman attributes
is to hurt his standing.
On the day he took over the presi-
dency and pledged himself to the con-
tinuation of the Roosevelt policies, not
only in prosecuting the war but in do
nestle affairs, he made a grievous
mistake. When he surrendered to the
labor leaders during the period of des-
tructive strikes he made another. There
are a dozen others equally serious that
must come to anyone's mind.
To claim then that he is a superman
and place the blame for everything
that has gone wrong in the country on
Congress and the nations business, is
rank foolishness. Apparently Mr.. Steel
man is an apt pupil Of Mr.. Snyder, who
has a highly developed talent for mis-
statement.
It is obvious that MIR. Steelman's
selection for the office he now fills is
not the least of Mr.. Truman's mistakes.

point, be justified in castigating At

it's shillings to coon skins that what

Three Way Victory

Governor Thye's conceded nomina-
ton over Senator Shipstead in Mime
sofas primary election, in addition to
bolstering former Governor Stassen's
presidential hopes, shows a broadening
viewpoint among Republicans in this
important Midwestern state.
The isolationist sentiment repre-
sented by Senator Shipstead is CIV
ing way to internationalism, and as
Governor Thye's nomination is large
ly due to the support of Mr.. Stassen,
an ardent advocate of the United Ma
lions and the political philosophy which
emissions the United States in a lead
ing role in world affairs, it is safe
to think that this great agricultural
and industrial state is breaking down

Terminal Leave Bonds

Under provisions of the terminal
leave pay bill approved by the admins
tration and the Senate Military Affairs
Committee, military personnel with
pay due up to $50 would be paid in
cash. If the amount is more than $50
payments would be made in bonds ma
turing in five years and drawing two
and one-half per cent interest. The
bonds themselves would not be SUBJ
ject to income tax but the interest
would be-.
Perhaps the plan is as good a one
as could be devised, but it is not to be
forgotten that the money thus distri-
buted will not be a net gain for the re-
cipiants. Payments will come, as all
federal expenditures do, through the
Treasury, and the Treasury's main
source of revenue is through taxation.
Ex-service people employed during
the five years their bonds are matur-
ing will make their contributions to
the Treasury, as all persons gainfully
employed must do, and so will help to
pay off their own bonds, even though
the bonds themselves are tax free.
It is the same process by which
money to meet war bond payments
must be raised. The holders must share
in raising the cash for paying them
off upon maturity.

Underwater Atomic Blast

In the New York Times of July l
Hanson w. Baldwin said: "The navies
of the atomic age may be composed of
very fast, lightly armored missile and
plane-launching ships; radio-controlled,
crewless light craft, and l%ong-range
atomic-powered submarines"
If forecasts of what will happen
when an atomic bomb is exploded un-
der water in another test on the tar
get fleet at Bikini, it appears more
probable that no type of naval construc-
ton could hope to survive.
Vice-Admiral H. P. Blandy, the
task force commander under whose
supervision this additional test is to
be made, is quoted as saying a million
tons of water-a column nearly a half
mile in diameter and from 5000 to
10000 feet high, will be blown upward
when the bomb explodes. If he has the
right of the matter, no light or fast
ship at much greater distance could
escape. Such a quantity of water, in
addition to going up would also come
down and cause such a disturbance that
the sea for many miles around would
in very fact become a maelstrom, hurl-
ing aloft or sucking under any craft
within an area of indeterminate but
spreading circumference.
According to an Associated Press
dispatch filed aboard the U. S. S. Nc
Kinley in the Marshalls, radioactive
contamination of the water and ships
will be hundreds of times greater than
in the previous blast, researchers esti-
mate. -"

BY JOHN SKIES

This morning I'm going to do
something l really oughtn't.
l oughtn't to do it for two very
good reasons: Cd 1t violates one
of the prime rules OF the newspaper
trade, and (2) 1t probably will
bring the unanimous anger of just
about every newspaperman, especi-
ally the columnists, hot and heavy
upon my neck.
But, being a fearless sort of fel-
low on the rare occasions when |
want to be a fearless sort of fel-
low, I'm going to do the thing l
oughtn't anyway.
There comes that period in every
newspaperman's life, particularly
if the neWspaperman is a column
mist, when he runs plumb out of
material.
This is the bleak aspect con-
fronting me this morning.
This piece of copypaper on which
I am betraying my fellow scribes
was, up until the moment l decid-
ed to make the betrayal, as blank
as my mind still is.
You've heard, perchaace, of "the
challenge of the blank copypaper."
It's a saying as old as the print
ing press itself. 1t began with Gut
tenberg, the gentleman who invent
ed the printing press. and it will
still be said when the biggest story
of all time, 1.-The end of the world"
is finally breaking.
Well, this piece of copypaper, up
until just a few minutes ago. had
all the blank horror of "the end of
the world" with none of its liter
airy inspiration.
1t stretched, from the typewriter
roller to the floor, with all the fine
promise of a mirage in the middle
of the Sahara desert. 1t presented
all the pleasant prospects of the
last ice-age glacier.
In short, I didn't have. and still
