DEPUTY BASkIN
PROVES ABILITY
AS DETECTIVE

A short time ago a picket at the
Westward Ho reported a truck
was delivering merchandise to the
strike-bound place, and turned in
the license number as 3198OA,
which, upon being checked, showed
the number issued to M. H. Baskin,
a deputy sheriff under Sheriff
Boise. Is
Whereupon the 'th It" was
turned on the sheriff and his depu-
ty. At first it was thought the
truck was one sold by Mr.. Baskin
back a couple of years ago. But
the license number turned in was
still on Mr.. Baskin's 1889 Cheyro-
let panel truck. In the meantime
the description of the truck at the
hotel was that it was 1887 Ford
V-8 pickup.
Unable to explain the situation
to his labor friends, and knowing
that his truck had never hauled
anything to the hotel, Mr.. Baskin
set out to unravel the mystery. He
did that Monday, when he found
the Ford truck unloading at the
hotel.
The description of the truck was
correct, but the license on it was
not. The picket had mistaken one
digit in the numbers. The number
on the truck had the numbers
3158OA. The truck is listed as the
property of Eliza Madril, and was
being driven by her husband, Do
mingo Madril. They reside at, 1135
w. Tonto street.
The license numbers, 31580A and
3198OA on battered 1915 plates
caused the argument, and the Jour-
nal is really sorry that it happened,
and it gives us much more pleas
ure to give the facts that Mr.. Bas-
kin was not involved in the matter
than it did for us to criticize him,
and we really hope that he believes

A CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR justice.

What greater Christmas gift could be bestowed upon
nation than the eling of Senator Theodore Bbo not
only would be great Christmas gift but an everlasting
blessing to humanity and civilization.
Bilbos fate is in the hands of his colleagues who no
doubt are reluctant to make example of of their
members for profteerng by finding him guilty, ere
it may start "bal rolling which may trip many unsus-
poets before it stops
Think what a wonderful gift that would be to those
Negro spectators who sat in the Senate gallery the other
day with sad faces almost driven to tears Bilbo and
other high up lawmakers had feld day. at the expense
of our socaled democracy No doubt thousands of Ne
groes in Bbos state of Mississippi who had been fright
ened out of their fright to vote not only shedding
mockery being made of justice but were on
bended knees praying to God that something be done

Reslript Shows Emperor 10 Fight
 10 Stay on Throne
By RUSSELL BRINES

TOKYO, Jan. 2-Emperor Hiro- hito, in a surprise renunciation of the myth that he is divine, started the new year with a bold gamble to hold his position before anticipated fresh international attacks.
 His unprecedented New Years Day rescript also frowned upon radical tendencies in an evident play for the peoples support against Japanese Communists, who advocate his overthrow.
 Further. the document stung the government lightly but definitely for dilatoriness in solving problems of livelihood. In that, it indicated the Emperor's continued interest in poli- tical affairs
 General Macarthur promptly ap- plauded the streamlined, unusual ly straightforward rescript. He said it propelled Hirohito into "a leading part in the Characterization of his people"
 This timing indicates that occupa- ticn authorities knew in advance the general outline of the rescript and were ready with unusually swift com- ment However, it is understood that court officials undertook the renun- ciation without Allied prompting.

HITLER DECLARED
 HIS SPIRIT WOULD
 ARISE FROM GRAVE
New Version of Fuehrer 5 Final Hours 6iven-let-
 fer Never Delivered
Rv DANIEL DeLUCE

NUREMBERG, 1Uf .slany, Jan. Z Adolf Hitler was cited today as going to his death with a defiant prophecy that his spirit would arise from the grave and that the world one day would see that he had been right.
 The new version of the Fuehrer's final hours was contained in long secret letter written by Joa- chim von Ribbentrop, Nazi Foreign Minister, to Winston Churchill and Anthony Eden just before he was captured in Hamburg last summer
 The war moved so swiftly, how ever, that the rambling handwrit- ten letter, which von Ribbentrop described as Hitler's last political will" was never delivered to the then British leaders.
 "Never Wanted War"
 Won Ribbentrop, picturing the Fuehrer as a broken and bitter man, said Hitler had never wanted war with Great Britain or the United States and that he had hoped until the last to come to terms with the British. The letter declared, in fact. that Hitler had entrusted von Ribbentrop with the task of delivering an appeal for

Birth of Atonl Bomb Tops News of 1945; Defeat Of
 Japan, Germany Nexi
By CHARLES HONCE
 AP Ne10sfeature Writer


 The dropping of the atomic bomb, ttshering in the Atomic Age, was the biggest news story of l945. That is the opinion of Associated Press newspaper editors answering a poll by AP Newsfeatures.
 Although this represents a ma- jority opinion it likely will be open to considerable individual dispute This is due to the fact that 1945 was crowded with many tremendous events worthy of consideration for top place on the list.
 Tn addition to the atomic bomb there was the defeat of Japan, bringing an end to World War II; the overpowering of Germany an omen that the end was in sight, and the death of President Roosevelt. All four ranked high in the voting
 Illustrating the differences of opin- ion, an upstate New York editor, at a recent meeting of New York Asso- ciated Press members, said that his feeling and that of his associates was that first choice would lie be- tween the death of President RooSe- valt and the end of the war be- cause in his estimation these had occasioned more personal comment over a longer period
 However, a vote is a vote, so here goes:
 1. THE ATOMIC AGE OPENS August 0 "TEe most terrible de- structive force ever harnessed by man-atomic energy was the de- scripticn of the weapon used against the Japanese isla.o base of Hiro- shima. President Truman told the story to a stunned and hardly un- derstanding world sixteen hours lat CT. By the end of the year the use of atomic energy, either for good or fer evil had become the most writ ten about news subject probably for all time. As 1946 drew to close it remained the worlds greatest question mark.
 2. JAPAN SURRENDERS-(Aug- ust 14). The second World War, historys greatest flood of death and destruction. came to an end on this date with Japans unconditional sur render. The only possible surprise element was the rapidity with which Japan folded up after Germany col lapsed. Nippon's dream of vast Co-prosperity Sphere for East Asia was dissipated and the groundwork was laid for the reduction of the grasping empire of the Rising Sun to tenth rate agricultural coun- try.
 3. GERMAND COLLAPSES - (May D and HITLER DIES CD. For centuries Germanic tribes have been spilling out of their homeland cn missions of conquest Modern days and modern civilization brought no change in this spirit of ruthlessness. In the last eighty years the Ger mans fought five wars. the first three of them successful. Nineteen eighteen brought one stunning defeat, but it was not enough A new Caesar bearing the prosaic name of Adolf Hitler-made a final try at world conquest. He and the nation that sheepishly followed him went down to such utter and devastating defeat
