The Washington Merry Go Round
By DnEW PEARSON

Aboard The Friendship Train :: One thing that Governor Warren of California called attention to about the Friendship Train was that there was no official of the United States Government aboard. It is by and from the American people.
 The railroads provided free trans portation. Local citizens along the way donated the food and loaded the cars. A few patriotic leaders III Hollywood, such as Harry Warner did the organizing.
 To me this is important. It re- presents the difference between cer- tain people abroad who wait for their governments to tell them what to do, and the American people who act ahead of their government.
 I was talking to young lady the other day who half complained that life was much easier during the war. In wartime she said, people knew exactly what they should do and did it.
 To a certain extent she was right. Women worked for ambu- lance units or the Red Cross or the Grey Ladies. They all enjoyed working for their country. They ali felt they were part Of their coun- try. People cooperated on victory gardens; neighbors who had scarce ly spoken to each other organized car pools. They got more exercise, were less selfish and enjoyed work ing for thir country.
 Then, suddenly the war ended and a lot of this patriotism stopped.

 FOUND DEAD, BED

Amos P. Cole, retired civil en- gineer who has had his hand in the development of the Pacific Northwest for more than 40 years was discovered dead on the bed of his room at the Bergman Hotel yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock.
 Andy Tveiten owner of the hotel, discovered the body after Cole had failed to appear for either breakfast or lunch yesterday. Dr. William P. Blanton, who was called said Cole had probably died of heart at- tack 8 or 10 hours before, presum- ably about breakfast time.
 The silver-haired gentleman, who had been a regular customer at Garnick's Store in recent years, cele- brated his 78th birthday last Feb ruary l2. He was Sergeant-at Arms for the lower House at the last ses- sion of the Territorial Legislature.
 Cole was born in Portsmout, Ohio, in 1869, came West while quite young, and from 1900 to 1904 was attending college studying civil en- gineering and architecture in San Francisco.

 During 1916 and 1917, Cole sur- veyed mining claims in Juneau. In 1924, he returned to Alaska again and went into business for himself raising foxes on an island in Rocky Pass, near Rake, until 1851. It was during that time. in 1927. that his wife died.

 Since January, 1943, Cole has been living at the Bergman Ho- tel. Always an active thinker, Cole recently had been planning ano working on a series of Alaskan lectures with motion pictures.
 He is survived by his son, Cliff ford V. Cole of Juneau, who al present is towing logs in the Sitks area with his boat Afognak Funeral arrangements at the Charles w. Garter Mortuary are awaiting notification of his son. There i: also a sister, Mrs. Grace Bush, o1 Hullet, Wyoming; and two grand daughters, Jean and Ann Cole ol Riverside, California.

SAWS MEYERS SOUGHT JOB;
 ALSO LOAN
Former Hughes Vice. -Presi. dent Sustains Testi-
 mony of His Boss

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15. - R- Neil R. Mccarthy, Los Angeles at tornev. told Senators today that Mai. Gen. Bennett E. Meyers tried to obtain both a job and loan from Howard Hughes while Meyers was a wartime Air Force Procure ment Officer.
 Mccarthy, a former Vice-Presi- dent of Hughes aircraft operations, repeated on the stand most of the testimony he had previously given the Senate War Investigating Com mittee in closed session.
 Hughes has testified that Meyers sought jobs both during the war and for the postwar period ana also asked S2Oo,OOO loan to finance government bond purchase deal
 Meyers, now retired on a pension, has denied that he sought Iop during the war or loan. Instead he said Hughes offered him 0,OOO for the bond deal through Me Carthy.
 The Senate inquiry turned back to an investigation of Hughes $40.- 100000 wartime airplane contracts with the government after two days of testimony about Meyers finan- cial situation and connections with aircraft firms.
 The hearing concerning Meyers own affairs brought these develop ments:
 1. The retired Deputy Chief of Air Force Procurement told report CTS that testimony he concealed stock holdings in various aircraft companies while the war was going on gave a false impression.
 2. Chairman Ferguson (R-Mich) of the subcommittee commented We haven't even lit the fire under him (Meyers) yet
 3. The Justice Department with out elaborating, disclosed it has been looking into" the generals affairs. To this, Meyers commented to news
 
 men: "No one wants an investiga- tion, but I am willing to give the facts as I have before the Senate committee at closed and open hear ings."
 Ferguson quickly led Mccarthy over his previous testimony and then asked about the apparent dlf- ference between $50,000 that Mc- Carthy has testified Meyers asked and the s2OO,0oO mentioned by Hughes.
 Mccarthy said he was not certain but he believed Meyers wanted the S5O,O0O as a down payment on a postwar job and the larger amount to finance the bond purchase deal.
 If Howard (Hughes) told you it was $200,OOO then it was" Me Carthy said. His memory is pretty good"

LaMoffa Hammered
 0uf by Billy Fox

NEW YORK, Nov. 15-Black- jack Billy Fox wants another shot at light heavyweight champion Gus Lesnevich and Jake LaMotta says he's going to stick to the middle weights from now on.
 The fighters made their decis- ions simultaneously in Madison Square Garden last night shortly after Fox stopped the Bronx Bull in 2:26 of the fourth round of their slated 10.
 A roaring, capacity crowd of 18,340 was lured by the records of a puncher with a sensational knockout string and rough, bruis- ing mauler who had never before been stopped
 It was the first time LaMotta ever failed to go the route. It was ruled a technical knockout, but when Referee Frank Fullam step- ped between the two fighters, La Motta was staggering helplessly un- der Fox's hammering.

MOVE PHONE POLE, FIRE HYDRANTS TO
 MAKE TURN EASIER

City Street Department crews today completed work at the inter- section of Front and Main Streets which will now make it easier for busses to use the turn there. Street Foreman Bert Lybeck said that the concrete across the intersection is now dry and that autos may re- sume their normal course at that point.
 The street Department moved two fire hydrants from the East side of the street to the West side in order to widen the curve. The Ju- neau and Douglas Telephone Company also cooperated by like wise moving a telephone line pole.
