Dear AVOndalerS:
Did you know that the "JAnes"
boy who was arrested for stealing
the radio at Perryville some time
ago was discovered to be a dual
murderer and was sentenced to die
in the electric chair after the jury
had deliberated only eight min
utes?
This so-called "Jones" was found
not to be Jones at all, but Brown,
instead. Be careful how you enter
tain strangers may be a mur-'
derer.
Well Mrs. Amanda Robinson will
certainly enjoy whatever pleasures

Who's Who On
East Broadway
BY L. w. PITTMAN

Hello Dear reader, pull up a
chair, and relax while this repre-
sentative of the Arizona Sun gives
you a tip on another family of
Broadway who has played a most
important role in making East
Broadway's history so interesting.
You know there is something
different, something enchanting
about being able to take pride in
knowing that they were the first
to achieve certain features. Time
after time, men in all walks of
life become aroused with "first"
desire. Today I am presenting to
you the first family to purchase
a home from the Williams & Jones
Contractors. The Mr.. reached
Phoenix from Moody, Texas. The
Mrs. is a native of Wichita, Kan
sas-here they met in "46" and
tied the matrimonial knot. Today
if one should visit 1908 South Goth
st. and Broadway, it would seem
that Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Wilson have
defied time, for within the short
span of a year, in their home
are the accumulations for which
many a family has striven in
vain for years. Mrs. Wilson eX-
plains it this way,-"he wanted
something, and 1 wanted some
thing, so we bargained." Mr..
Wilson is an employee at the city
bus terminal-aside from his city
job, he is skilled in watch repairing
and does it as a side job in his
home. Mrs. Wilson is imployed as
a stock girl in Korricks ready to
wear department.
% To their $500 homeS has been
added a beautiful car shed and
fruit trees surround the place.
Having every convenience home
could want plus loads of hospital
ity to brighten its corners, this
reporter on behalf of your Arizona
Sun wishes to congratulate Mr..
and Mrs. Wilson with an assurance
that the "Sun" will never go down
on them.
So long dear reader till next
week when-if you'll be reading,
I'll be writing a true story of the
next "Who did what on Broad
way"

Tough Job Trying
To Be Man

Growing into manhood is a hard
time in the life of boy. He wants
to be a man; he wants to be like
the other boys who are making the
transition in carefree way.
We have in mind collegian who
is trying his best to smoke a pipe.
His friends smoke pipes in nom
chalent way and he deems them
the more manly and devilish for
doing so. He doesn't want to be a
sissy, yet at the same time the taste
of tobacco or it's smoke is repulsive
to him. And so he goes about the
campus with an empty pipe in his
mouth, only filling it, and lighting
it reluctantly, when pretense will
no longer serve his purpose.
What price conformity! He leads
his class and that should be proof
enough that he can stand on his
own feet. It saddens one who has
been through it all to see a likable
chap suffer while trying to be
regular guy."-Alfred w. Brandt.

AOAAAAbAA1 WIN 1ACo SO11lCo q 1CPOIo-
ton as fighter during his highly
active legislative career, declared
that he proposed to give the State
an administration of plenty of ac-
tion-but all of it constructive, all
of it aimed at bettering the State
as whole"
1--WE have a very big and COM
plex State" Smith said. "Too often
in the past, State administrations
have aimed their efforts at one
phase of the States economy-if,
indeed, they weren't concerned
only with letting the wheels of gov
ernment coast along without any
aim at all.
"I believe that Arizona's chief
executive must be sympathetic to
the needs and desires of all seq
ments of the States economy-ag-
riculture, stock raising, industry
and the tourist business. Everyone
with horse sense knows that the
economic health of the whole State
depends on the well-being of each
of these highly important phases.
1 intend to see that each segment
gets the fullest possible support
from the Governors office and all
branches under it's control. In 9TH
er words-I am running as Cover
nor of all of Arizona to serve all
Arizonans.H
Senator Smith asserted that one
of his chief aims as Governor would
be to push construction of IAN ade-
quate network of highways geared
to modern traffic so that the more
isolated communities can share in
Arizona's growth on an equal foot
ing with the larger towns and CT
ties"
Among the lawmakers legisla-
tive accomplishments was the ram
rodding of measures in 1941 to in
crease old age assistance grants
from $50 to $40 month and abol-
ish the so-called "pauper'S oath"
from the law. In the current 18th
Legislature he sponsored a bill to
further increase the payments to
$50 month.
Back in 1941, Marvin Smith was
one of the spark plugs in the bitter
fight which finally resulted in the
elevation of Tempe and Flagstaff
State Colleges from the status of
teachers colleges.
It was Marvin Smith who spear
headed the drive to get an emer-
gency veterans hospital for the
State after the Veterans Admins
tration said it was "impracticable." D"
At the time, the other veterans
facilities in the State were jammed
and hundreds of disabled veterans
still were pouring into Arizona.
When all efforts seemed in vain,
Smith led a delegation to Washing
ton for conferences with President
Truman and General Omar Brad
ley, head of the VA. The former
Prisoner of War Camp at Papago
Park soon thereafter was set up as
veterans hospital and has been
going full blast ever since.
"My record shows that I never
back away from a fight when
think drastic measures are neces-
sary," Smith declared, adding:
"I propose to give Arizona a
State Administration based on that
idea-that nothing is impossible II
it is needed.,and if the State is will
ing to fight for it."
Married and the father, of five
children, Marvin E. Smith has lived
in Arizona the last 43 years, coming
here from Texas. He was educated
in Tucson public schools, Phoenix
Union High School and the Univer-
sity of Arizona. Among his civic
and fraternal affiliations are the
American Legion, 40 ct 8. Veterans
of Foreign Wars, Last Mans Club,
the Elks, and the Phoenix Real
Estate Board.

U. N. Operating Cost $33,469,587

LAKE SUCCESS, (R - Secre- tary- general Trygve Lie asked yesterday for $33,469,587 to oper- ate the United Nations in l949.
 The figure is about million dollars under the 1948 budget and generally compares with the annual expenditures of states such as Arizona, Idaho, Rhode Island and Vermont.
 Lies figures go before the 58- national general assembly in Paris next month for approval. Despite the slash, moves already are under way in the U. N. to cut the total still more. The first of these came in a report from the assembly's advisory committee which believe a million and a half can be Topped off.
 The United Nations is financed by its member nations in accord ance with a scale of contributions based on the ability to pay. The United States pays the largest share-about 39 per cent.

 Lot 6 in Block 95 was sold to Woodbury Abbey for the sum of $50.
 A letter was received by the City Clerk pertaining to the $25OO annual fund for the harbor inn provements. The amount has for the past ten years been paid out of road funds designated for the Second Division, but it has been stated by the Territorial Engineer that the City of Nome will have to resume responsibility for the pay ment of the $25OO annually. The letter was tabled.
 Carl Lomen reported fully to the City Council on his activities in Washington, D. C., relative to the passage of the Nome Seawall Bill. He told of the many friends which Nome has in Washington, and the good work they did in se- curing the passage of the bill for Nome.

 Donald Lyle, chairman of the roads and harbors committee, re- ported that the Alaska Road Com mission under Supt. John Hudert was doing a good job of repair to existing roads, under very ad- verse conditions.
 Rod Pohl, of the Gold Beach Dredging Co.,, stated that he would like to see more coopera- ton among the citizens of the town in support of the seawall and that it would benefit 1not only those on the south side of Front Street, but all of Nome.
 Frank Love told the Chamber group of the problems confronting the Nome School Board, of which he is president, and that the Nome Territorial School is muc h ly overcrowded, the expenses of op- eration increased, and the Terri torial allowance decreased, throw ing an additional burden on the City of Nome.
 The enrolment has increased in the past few years from 140, to 280 in 1947-8, and it is expected that the enrolment for the com ing year will be over 300. This is well beyond the normal capacity of the school. One reason for the additional burden was the closing of the Alaska Native Service schools in the Territory and put ting the Eskimo children into the Territorial school.
 | Mrs. Carl Lomen stated it was grand feeling to be back home after the strenuous summer in Washington and that she was pleased to attend the chamber dinner.
 President Harper stated in con- clusion of the meeting that there would be another general meeting in the near future but that it would be announced at later date.

terrier and half undetermined.

Canadian Rockies for Para
mounts "The Emperor Waltz, F"
produced by Charles Bracket
and directed by Billy Wilder,
and supposed to take place in
Vienna and the Tyrol of 1901.
Jasper was the closest the Oscar
winning team could come to re-
producing the real thing, and
experts say it is close enough.
George Barnes, director of
photography, had set up his
Technicolor camera at the bend

of the scenic beauty of the Can

and especially Mt. Edith Cavell,
IA majestic peak lined with gla-
ciers and snowfields.

But the 800 spectators lining
the road watched not the noun
tains, but Bing or Buttons, as
the man and dog came ambling
around the bend. Crosby came
whistling an old Austrian yodel,
Buttons padding along at his
heels, and they were supposed
to stop at a certain point where
Bing stood still to gaze at EN-
peror Franz Josef'h hunting
lodge.
In rehearsals, Trainer Frank
Inn was teaching Buttons to stay
close behind Bing.
Buttons is an awful ham, "
Inn told Bing. He'll upstage
you and try every other trick
in the book"
well, tell him its every man
for himself" grinned Crosby.
'I've got something of the hick-
ory smoke about myself"
Bing found it difficult to see
in the combined blare of the
lights and the sun beating off
the snow, and he stopped at the
wrong place.
Buttons is all right" said
Director Wilder, "but you're off
base"
"Oh, I missed my mark and
he hit his, eh?" replied Bing
"Well, Buttons, l knew it would
come to this. You're through
tonight"
