IN JUNEAU

In Juneau today, longshoremen were unloading the Sword Knot at the Alaska dock The vessel arrived northbound this morning. However, it was understood that no Seattle bound freight would be loaded. Monday morning workers refused to load lumber southbound on the ATCO vessel Northern Voyager. It is believed that all freight for in- ter-Alaska ports will be accepted and loaded While the longshore- men here are not on strike, their refusal to load freight for Seattle would constitute the same thing.

Odom Kept His Promise
Made To Boyhood Har,

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-W.H-When
Bill Odum set his converted A-2e
down today he was keeping a a.
year-old promise to his boyhood
hero, the late Wiley Post.
1t was in 1888 that Odum, then
10, met Post who had completed
the first globe girdling flight in
aviation history. Post took a lik-
ing to the earnest youngster AND
gave him an autographed piece
of the Winnie Macs wing.
I'm going to fly around the
world myself someday," the boy
told Post.
l.. Odum admitted later that
neither Wiley o I really be-
lieved I'd do it,"
But the aviation bug had bit
ten him. He went through high
school and junior college in Kan,
sas City, Mo-, and kept getting
hotter on aviation all the time
Odum got his first job at IL
when he went to work as a radio
operator for Transcontinental and
western airlines. When TWA sent
him to Amarillo, Tex, he got a
private pilots license in his spare
time. ,
Then he went to Pittsburgh and
worked himself into a job on
TWAS staff of meteorologlsts. 1t

RED TIDE SLIDES

Dead And Dying Fish"
In Its Wake

Fla, Aug. 10
fpl - The fish-killing "red tide.
from the Gulf of Mexico slid OF
the hump of Florida's west coast
TODAY as mysteriously as it struck
with its smelly heaps Of dead and
dying fish.
No one could spot the eide"
today. Air observers flying along
the coast line reported they had
not seen it.
Along the beaches south OF here,
however, was unmlstakanie evl-
dence of its deadliness to fish lie:

Residents said spasmodlc batch

night but only scattered new VIC

IN the beaches later in the day.
The heaviest concentration OF
fish during the night appeared to
be at Treasure Island Beach where
volunteer workers from the U. ).
Maritime station at St. Peters
burg dug trenches into which the
smelly fish were dumped.
Only a few fish foated onto
the beaches here, and up and down
the coastline in this immediate
area small groups OF Sunday
swimmers took dips despite warn

polluted by the "tide' would cause
skin irritations.
On the beaches south OF here
only an occasional swimmer here
and there took to the water.
The nose-holding ordor rising
from the fish which has plagued
vacationists in the area south OF
here for the past week was miss

beaches.
Rep. Peterson D-Fla) at Lake

checking into causes OF the 1lsn
scourge. He said it probably
would be sometime before a com

could be written.
DR.. F. G. Walton Smith, direc.

which has crept up the Florida
Gulf coast to this section, was
caused by millions Of seawater

as gymnodinium brevis.

not kept small, attractive Helen
Maysey, II, from being happy.
She suffers from splenic anemia
and has been the ward of a hospi-

month old. Her spleen was re-
moved when she was FOUR. and six
years later physicians gave up,
saying that she had only a few
weeks to live.
Since that time, Helen has had
a blood transfuison every six or
eight weeks. She is in the hospital
about four months out Of every
year but remains cheerful.
Without the transfusions, the girl
would die, but so far, physicians
and nurses at the hospital have
