Best Check on Reds
lis 5oIvency Of U. s.,
Senator Byrd Says

Our ability to protect our de-
fenses If another war should come
depends upon our financial solvency
and productive capacity. Senator
Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia, said
last night in warning that an Amer
lean internal collapse would be the
best weapon for the advocates of
expansion of world communism.
Senator Byrd made his statement
in responding to an address by T.
Russ Hill, president of Martin
Parry Corp, of Detroit. at the
Washington dinner of the Southern
States Industrial Council in the
Statler Hotel.
The dinner was given in honor OF
the entire Southern delegation In
the Federal Government here, in
cluding Senators, Representatives,
executive officials and members of
the judiciary.
Senator Byrd said the financial
strength of America is the chief
bulwark in the world today against
autocracy and totalitarianism and
that we must safeguard our ability to
finance our obligations without
crushing taxation. Weaken the
financial security Of America at
home and you have made the whole
world defenseless to the assaults of
communism" he warned.

made outright gifts, exclusive of

lite countries of $500, 100000 and
other appropriations are now pend
ing, carrying presidential approval,
for further gifts to these same
Soviet-dominated countries.
"On the reverse side, we are about
to appropriate hundreds of millions
Of dollars to fight communism, he
added. This effort to ride two
horses going in opposite directions
to nourish communism with ouI
right hand and attempt to crush
communism with our left-is, to me
| so fantastic that I will never vote
for a single dollar of American
money to go to strengthen any COM
munistic country"
South's Progress Predicted.
MIR. Hill, in his speech, "The
South as I Know It," pointed out
that the South "has done we'll and
will do better, and she has the
brains and courage with which to
do 1t on her own" 3.
Many who are 80 busily en-
gagged in trying to pass laws
to regulate the South into saliva
ton should drink deeply from her
reservoirs of Americanisrn and cour-
age and gain strength thereby to
bolster the Nation against a lot of
sophisticated nonsense that threat
ems its verities and, therefore, its
existence" he declared.
The dinner was attended by many
Senators, Representatives and lead
ers in Government and industry.

 PRESIDENT
Truman, Back in Washing ion, Calls Staff for
 Noon Meeting

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-IR- President Truman returned to Washington from his 20-day trip to Brazil today and immediately called the White House staff to meet at noon Eastern Standard Time) to discuss the important business which accumulated in his absence.
 The Presidential yacht Williams burg docked at the Washington Navy Yard, and after few minutes getting luggage ashore, the President, Mrs. Truman and daughter Margaret walked down the gangplanks to waiting auto mobiles.
 The yacht bore the Presidential party up the Potomac River from Norfolk, Va, where the members disembarked yesterday from the battleship Missouri in their re- turn from Rio de Janeiro. The President remarked to those on the dock, You don't know how to appreciate your own country til you are away sspotting a newsreel cameraman whom he knew, he smiled and said we missed you on this trip. Where have you been; out with Taft?"
 The President was referring to the western trip of Senator Taft R-Ohio).
 MI. Truman faces the task of charting his course on problems of emergency aid to Europe, in ternational friction and the rising cost of living.
 One of the first questions fac- ing the Chief Executive after his Rio journey was whether to call a special session of Congress to deal with assistance for Europe.
 Underscoring the importance at tached to Europe's plight, Secretary of State Marshall arranged to leave a meeting of the United Ma tions Assembly in New York for a quick trip to the capital tomor- row, presumably to give the Pres ident his special session views.
 Marshall has already stated his belief that there is crisis which cannot wait until the scheduled re- converting of Congress in Janu- ary.

 The Ohio Senator, who has been the object of Democratic National Committee criticism because of his part last year in remodeling the OPA law, told reporters that If this price level remains, the con- ditions might bring a depression, adding:

Fiery Political Leader Had Been in Coma Since

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-IR-Fio- rello H. LaGuardia, GA, three times mayor of New York and former Director General of UNRRA, died today.
 The fiery political leader had been in a coma since Tuesday night when he collapsed at his home His health had been failing since last June when he underwent ar operation which disclosed an in- curable pancreas condition.
 The announcement of his deatf brought an immediate tribute from his successor as chief executive oi New York, Mayor William ODwy- CT.
 Tn his death the people of the City, the State and Nation have lost a great, patriotic citizen, O'Dwyer said. He added.
 T fully believe that his unself- ish devotion to the people anc his untiring and energetic efforts to promote public welfare con- tributed to a great extent to tn, failing health which culminatec in death today,
 Dies In Sleep
 LaGuardia died in his sleep, Dr George Baehr, attending physician said.
 When LaGuardia died at 7:22 a. m, his wife, their two children Erik, 15, and Jean, l8, and Mrs LaGuardia's sister, Miss Elsie Fish CT were at the bedside.
 The diminutive La Guardia-he was five feet, three inches-was rough and ready exponent of the get tough" school of politics. His caustic tongue was noted for its whiplash agility in exchanges with political enemies as well as for its fluency in foreign languages
 In his campaigns and during his years in office he addressed na- tional groups in New York in their native language-Italian, German French, Yiddish or Yugoslav.
 Awarded Medal
 Known to New Workers as The Little Flower" Butch or 'Thc Hat"-the latter deriving from the distinctive type of headgear he preferred-LaGuardia was the first reform mayor this city ever re- elected

For his work with the UNRRA he was awarded the na- tion's highest civil decoration, the Medal of Merit, and President Truman said then that he had earned the gratitude of millions in the world who were threatened by starvation"

 But the 9th man Truman will call on, as he makes the Cabl- nets round, will give him some stimulating ideas along different lines. He is tall, lean Secretary of Agriculture Anderson who is just as persuasive at Cabinet meetings as he once was as an insurance man.
 Anderson, a New Mexican cattle rancher, whose jcb it is to stand up for the American farmer, has collected significant figures show ing what the American farmer al- ready has done for Europe. In August, he will probably tell Cab- inet colleagues, U. s. farmers ship ped Europe the stupendous total of 100000 tons of wheat as against 100000 tons in the same month last year.
 However, when Europe got this wheat" Anderson told Agriculture Department associates the other day, they went on an eating binge. AS soon as they get wheat from us, they eat it up and yell for more. They don't store it for win ter, when they will need it most.

Fisherman Hunter Is Knocked
 Down, Gnawed by Brown Bear

|, George Harju considers himself lucky to be alive today, after a spine-tingling experience wrest- ling with wounded brown bear Wednesday in meadow country near Pleasant Bay in Seymour Canal.
 The bear, which Harju esti- mated may have weighed as much as 1900 pounds, was finally killed by Waino Seppanan with a bull let in it's head at point-blank range after seven previous shots had failed to down the monster,
 Harju told the story, lying on a couch in his home, with ban dages on his left foot and above the right ankle where the bear had grabbed him with his teeth and worried each foot in succession like dog would bone.
 Both Harju and Seppanen are fishermen, Harju on the troller Helen, and Seppanen on the troll CT Gowan. They left Juneau early in the week, deciding to take some time off hunting for deer. Harju was about 75 or 100 feet in the lead going through heavy underbrush between small open meadows, when he first saw the bear coming toward him along the trail.
 Bear Charges Hey Seppy!' he called, "here comes a bearl' And at his call | the bear charged, from what Har- jul estimates could not have beer more than 50 feet away, perhaps as little as 35 feet.
 He fired three shots from his 300 H&H magnum at the bear, which was rolling and swaying from side to side as it came toward him. The first shot struck the bear in the left side of it's mouth, taking out several teeth and pro- bably saving Harjus foot because of the decrease in the animals cutlery.
 One of his shots apparently miss ed, and one went into the body. Then as the bear came up to him, Harju fired again, but the shot only creased the left side of the bears neck.
