DALMA HANSON DIES SUDDENLY
 AFTER STROKE

Miss Dalma Hanson, one of Ju- neaus lest known school teachers whose friends were numbered by the hundreds, passed away early this afternoon at St. Ann's Hos pital, following a stroke suffered about midnight last night while she was walking down Seward Street. She was carried into the .ome of Mrs. Charles G. Warner in an unconscious state, and a doctor was immediately summoned Upon arrival of the doctor, she was taken to the hospital, still in the unconscious state from which she never recovered, according to the attending physicians report.
 Miss Hanson, whose cheerful sunny disposition and optimistic outlook on life were as tonics to all who came in contact with her had taught in the Juneau Schools for 21 years, retiring at the close of the school year last May.
 She was given special "gradu- ation' honors with the class of 1945, many of whom were her pu- pils in the primary grades. She was escorted to the platform to take her place with the class, and tributes paid by both the faculty and students.
 The sudden death of Miss Han son came as a great shock to her friends and acquaintances, all of whom feel a real personal loss.
 After her retirement from the teaching profession, Miss Hanson later joined the staff of the B. M. Behrends Bank, and was em- ployed there at the time of her death. She seemed to be in per- fectly normal health and spirits at her work yesterday, according to associates there.
 She was born June 19, 1889, in Grafton, North Dakota. One sister Miss Nellie D. Hanson residing in Grafton, survives. She was in Juneau this last summer visiting her sister.
 The remains are at the Charles wv. Carter Mortuary, pending fun eral arrangements.

RELIEF SHIP FOR ALASKA HlTSNEW SNAC
SAYS ALASkA IS DYING ON v!NE';
 STRIKE IS CAUSE

SEATTLE, Oct 3l-In the belief
 of George Sundborg, General Man ager of the Alaska Development
 Board, the Territory as a commer- cial asset of the Pacific Northwest is dying on the vine' because
 of the shipping strike. Just when national interest in Alaska development is keenest and just when our hopes for a num- Der of really important new enter prises are brightest" he said here yesterday, the extended tieup of all commerce between Puget Sound and Alaska has caused potential investors to take a new and less friendly look
 He passed through here enroute to Juneau after a six weeks tour and visit to Alaska industrial pro- iects in the States.
 A relief ship is badly needed to
 meet the current situation but 1t
 will not solve the basic problem,
 he said.
 Our great and rich Northern Empire isn't going to amount to
 much until a radical solution of the transportation situation is found"
 The shipping strike is only the latest in a long series of disap-
 pcintments and illustrations Al askans have undergone over the years in trying to get their re- sources to market, he added,

ANOTHER BARRIER

SEATTLE, Oct 3l.-burt Nelson, local chaim for the committee for Maritime Unity, said today tn organization awaited ciarlficatiol of an AFL union request that the GNU withdraw picket lines from vessels and port not under contract to CIO unions in this state.
 "As soon as we know what the score is, we'll give them an answer" Nelson said.
 The request was made by the Maritime Trades Council.
 Spokesmen said the prime pur- pose was to free foreign and AFL- manned vessels from the east coast in the Port of Tacoma. where AFL longshoremen have full jurisdiction, and to protect contract agreement negotiated by AFL waterfront fore men and others in Seattle and other Washington ports.
 The AFL union also interjected another possible barrier in the path Of Alaska relief ships hy as..- ing that such vessels be cleared by involved AFL locals before being released.

 In describing the aims of his or ganization for air service in South east Alaska, Goodwin stated that he hoped to inaugurate a special accommodation whereby his, planes would pick up portable tent camps and move them from site to site for the convenience of hunters.
 He added that he was particular ly interested in furnishing perish ables and other supplies for boats while fishing in isolated places dur ing the summer.
 Shell Simmons, wellknown Alas kan pilot and manager of Alaska Coastal Airlines, testified that the policy of AGA had always been di- rected toward increased volume o1 traffic with accompanying lower rates. He told of picking up indi- vidual passengers at remote spots and under direct questioning from attorney Banfield told of an emer- gency flight in which he flew 8 dying man from Hoonah to Juneau in 18 minutes. The large Grumman one of two acquired this year, was used in this operation. The man was placed in the plane on a stretcher, MT. Simmons said. He also told of passenger flare rates to many spots not on sched- uled runs. He mentioned in parti- cular lowered costs of trips to Lake Florence and Lake Hasselborg.
 In reference to the weekly sched- ule now maintained by Ellis anc Alaska Coastal between Ketchikar and Sitka, the testimony showed that this service was coordinateo with the arrival and departure ot Canadian Pacific boats.
 The record of, and questioning testimony will now go to the CAE Board with the examiners recom- mendations.
 MT. Banfield who plans to leave for Seattle shortly asked that MT Stump be allowed to take over his legal service for Alaska Coastal ir case there should be need while he is away.

The w ashingto Merry -Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-It was heralded in the headlines last weekend that the chief subject of discussion by the Cabinet was the threatened coal strike. This, however, was not the case.
 Actually, President Truman gave the impending coal strike only a few brief seconds. He opened the Cabinet session by stating that, since Secretary of the Interior Krug was obsent from the city, the subject of coal would be taken up at another time:
 Meanwhile, government lawyers are at odds over the interpretation of the contract John L. Lewis sign ed with the Interior Department last spring Attorneys for the Labor and Justice Departments are prl- vately critical of Interior Depart ment lawyers. They say the coal contract is loosely worded and full Of lOOpholeS.
 However, Assistant Secretary oi the Interior Warner Gardner, who helped draw up the contract, claims that under it's terms Lewis has nc right whatsoever to call strike. He says privately that Lewis is merely looking for a chance to cause em- barrassment on the eve of elec- tions. The contract provides fol discussion between Lewis and the government of technical matters only, not wages and hours. The technical matters Lewis has thrown into the governments face are, first, that the coal is weighed at the tipple after it is washed

Pool


The neophyte Kennewick Ath-
letic club is getting in the swim
with the announcement this week
of q plan to establish a fund that
it hopes will eventually grow into
a swimming pool. -.
Club members rightly feel that
the best way to get the much need
ed pool is to start somewhere and
this seems like q logical opportuni-
ty. It has been an unfortunate cir
cumstance in past years that the
community, surrounded as it is by
water, still offers no place to swim.
Health authorities have con-
demned both the river and the
ditch for swimming purposes.
While this action has not kept kids
as well as adults from indulging
in Americas most popular sport,
it has resulted in making it i'm
possible to carry on a supervised
swimming program.
Swimming Is a sport that fits
ideally into the school athletic
program, appealing to all ages. The
school can provide competent In
struction.
While the club realizes that the
proceeds from its forthcoming
opus will be only a drop in the
bucket, it has discovered grow
ing demand for pool. Members
feel that the effort will be well
repaid.

Normal

"Back to Normal was the topic
of an interesting informal dis.
cussion at Tuesdays meeting OF
the Kennewick Kiwanis club
Speakers viewed the subject from
the view of the farmer, the bust
ness man and the church.
It is an interesting subject. How.
ever, we believe that it is enron.
eous to say "back" to normal
What would that be?
Would it be the years of dis.
ruption following the last war!
Inflated prices, labor difficulties
the maladjustment of the early
tWenties.
Or the imaginary prosperity that
followed resulting in the financial
chaos of the early thirtieS?
Normal can't mean the depress-
ion days nor the forced employ
ment that followed.
The war years certainly can not
be counted a normal" life.
It must be a period Of health
and prosperity for all the people
of the nation. There must be full
employment with a decent living
standard and establishment Of Sc
curly for all.
That can't be achieved in day.
Nor can it be accomplished with
out the full cooperation of every
citizen,

and associates had assembled nearly $50
years beforehand for the same purpose
toorganize an insurance company through
which policy holders might join together
for prevention of fire and for distribution
of losses of the few among the entire
membership.
As the volume of business by the infant
Northwestern Mutual increased from =
daily average of 80 policies written in
longhandD to the thousands now issued
each day, an international institution has
been built, with Offices and Representative
