There's a home, not very far from Palmer, where 32 children are living back in an era of time that ended for most of us when our mothers and fathers were young. These children, who live at the Lazy Mountain Children's Home, began and ended Alas kan winter days by the light of kerosene lamps and gasoline lan- terms, until just few days ago.
 Electricity has been brought to the home now, but the quon- set-hut dormitories in which the boys and girls live still are heat ed by wood-burning airtight heaters-the kind that must be stoked in the middle hours of the night. Bath water for the 32 children still is heated in great tubs and kettles on top of the kitchen range on Saturday aft ernoons.
 The only water inside the five hall plant is the cold we'll water that is pumped into the kitchen sink. Bread and cookies for 32 lunches and dinners each day are baked in the great ovens of the wood-burning range. Water to wash the clothes for 32 active boys and girls is heated daily on that same range. The sad irons that press the wrinkles from

we Need Nothing"

It's far cry from this wood burning, kerosene-lighted, scrub board existence to life in a mod ern home, but MT. and Mrs. Ken Hughes, in charge of the Lazy Mountain home, don't seem to mind. T can truthfully say, we've never needed a thing" MT. Hughes said. Of course, there's a lot of things we've wanted, sometimes, but never anything we've needed"
 High on that list of wants was a radio, to replace the portable model which was broken several months ago. Already that want is a reality, for the Christmas gift of Mrs. Vernon Fridley, teacher in the homes one-room school, to the 32 children and the home staff, was a combination radio and record-player.
 All the children from sixth grade level down through the first attend classes in quonset hut at the home. Mrs. Fridley drives back and forth daily to supervise their lessons. She is the only paid worker at the Lazy Mountain home. Her salary is paid by the territory.
 IS Pupils
 There are 19 grade school stu dents at Lazy Mountain. AL though their classroom is only a quonset hut, it's walls are bright with kalsomine and gay red can dies decorate it's windows in pre- paration for the holiday. Home made benches and tables with built-in drawers for books make up the classroom furniture, but the children have the finest books and equipment with which to work, according to Mrs. Frid- ley.

 A nurse, Mrs. Walter Phillips, whose husband is also a worker at the home, takes care of all the small aches and bumps for the family of 32. A tiny dispen- sary has been built into one quonset hut, where Mrs. Phillips administers doses and bandages bruises.
 Major medical care is still a problem for the home, which re- ceiyes no support from govern ment or territorial funds. Two little girls are now receiving treatment in the Post hospital. However, there's need for num- her of tOnSilectomies and the

NEW YORK, Jan 8-Major Will liam ODwyer gave halfback Frank Filchcck "clean bill of health" to play in the New York Giants-Chi- cago Bears title football game De- cemter 15, because the passing ace insisted he had not received a bribe offer
 Yet, court exhibits indicated that the District Attorneys office had evidence eight hours before the kickoff that Filchock definitely had received an offer of S2,50O to throw the game. but was permitted to play anyway.
 This was brought out in General Sessions Court yesterday when As sistant District Attorney George Monaghan read into the record the signed statement of Alvin J. Paris self-styled Big Bettor," that he had made the fix bid to both Fil- check and fullback Mosse Hapes at least five days before the game.
 The statement was introduced in evidence in Paris trial on the fix charges shortly before the state rested its case. Monaghan said he personally had taken the statement from the slim 28-year-old novelty manufacturer, and that it was all signed and delivered at 6:15 am, December 15, the morning of the game. There were still eight hours to go before the 2:05 pm. kickoff, yet no ban was put on Filchock.
 Hapes, however, was barred from the tilt. At the time, National Football League Commissioner Bert Bell revealed that the reason he permitted Filchock to play was be- cause the Mayor, himself. after questioning the halfback privately, suggested it.
 When we were in the Mayors Oracle Mansion the night before the game" Bell related, MT. O. Dwyer took Filchock into another room alone They came out and the Mayer put his arm on Fil- checks shoulder and said he had clean bill Of health and suggested that he be allowed to play
 Filchcck did admit in his testi- mony yesterday that he lied to the Mayor about not having receiv- cd the bribe bid, because he feared that if he admitted it, he would be benched

Labor Secy. Asks Congress To Raise Minimum Wage
Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One) sacrificing this basic standard of our labor legislation. Should the time come when a serious unem- ployment again threatens our eco homie structure, we shall be grate- full for .. a law which will serve to prevent the anomaly of men walking the streets begging for work while other workers are be- ing forced to work long and bur densome hours"
 While calling for a new 75-cent minimum, SchWellenbach said .n- dustry committees operating un- der the law should be given au- thority to reduce wages for par ticular industries to 65 cents an hour whenever necessary to cope with special situations"
 The secretary said the Accent minimum was not intended ito be a final goal" and that changes in wage and price relationships since 1888 have made it "clearly obso- lete."
 Contending that the amount of money involved in a boost to 75 cents would represent only one per cent of the nations wage bill, SchWellenbach added the econ Omy of our country can absorb with ease" such an increase.

 w A s HINGTON, - Neutral" Russian icebreakers in l940 con- 'VOyed a German auxiliary cruiser through the Arctic Ocean to the Pacific where it sank eight Allied Shlps-One off the Panama Canal and shelled British installations on Nauru in the Gilbert Islands, according to captured German documents.
 The documents have just been translated.
 The German cruiser was the Komet. Her Soviet escorts were the Stalin, the Lenin and the Ka- ganovich, all icebreakerS. The Ka- ganoVich was named for Lazar Ka- ganOvich, a member of the polit- burO.
 The report of the Komet'S com mander, identified as Rear Ad- , miral Eyssen, contains a graphic word picture of SOuring Soviet Nazi relations under the Hitler Stalin non-aggression pact signed with the invasion of Poland a year earlier.
 Sarcastically, Admiral Eyssen refers to the "still neutral, or more co rrectly, neutrality-s stimulating, Soviet Union." He was convinced the Russians planned secretly to desert him in the ice fields. Ac- cordingly, he took Arctic sleds, Arctic tents, cooking equipment and skis, hoping to survive. He re- ported to Hitler months later that he succeeded despite-not because of-help he got from the Russians. Russian Aid Enabled Komet To Get Through
