 The boy-Russell Anthony La tona, of Sacramento, Calif.-told authorities he had leaped over board to try and save Bent Jepp- sen, his 14-year-old Danish fel- low cabin boy aboard the ship Crete Maersk. Sharks killed Jepp- sen. No noe saw the boys go over board and they were not missed.
 'I tried to save Bent" Russell said, ''but the sharks got after him, and the spot where we were was soon red with blood, and the sharks got after me too"
 Finally, the sharks killed Bent, and I moved away from there, but they kept after me. I don't know how I kept them off, but I splash ed at them, screamed and pulled away as fast as I could"
 Russell jumped overheard off the coast of Cape Maisi on Dec. l4. He finally reached shore near Ia co, on the north Cuban coast, about 10 miles from where he leaped into the sea. He wore a. life belt.
 Adm. w. K. Phillips, command ant of the U. S. naval operating base said Russell "is in remark ably good condition" Phillips said what saved the boys life was his foresight in pitching life belt into the sea.

The Thanksgiving holidays have

are Forthcoming. We students
cherish the vacations, but the
strenuous scholastic requirements
are enough to make you feel sorry
they ever come. They only mean

HOMECOMING HAS BEGUN on

There will be many events to pro-
vide social entertainment. Tau
Kappa Epsilon Fraternity will hold
it's Talent Show in the college au-
ditorium Dec. 2, at 8 p. m. There
will be the Homecoming parade
with it's array of splendid floats to
surpass last years venture and to
eliminate the week there will be
the football classic. Arizona State

Kappa Alpha Psi is entering a
float in the Homecoming parade.
It will be the first float ever en-
tered by a Negro Greek letter or
ganization in the history of the col
leges. Some progress for equal rec
ognition is being made. Those who
are responsible for this entry de-
serve credit for their splendid ac-
Movements and contributions. Our
recent quest for concrete place
in College activities shall equal if
not surpass that of others.
Have you bought your rattle

in which to do so. The cause is
worth while and your purchase of
a ticket will help fill the Lamp Of

The Greatest of These Is Charity

The boom is and with it went the prosperous
time in which could boast of chicken in every pot.
1t would be surprising to many of well-todoers to
know just how many of deserving families with
out bare subsistence Thanksgiving Day Big families of
five, six children with mother father sick
able to work were without ordinary nourishment
We must realize time and conditions not what they
used to be for many of and these destitute
more prevalent than they have been for some time
These facts brought light last week when the SUN
asked to help locate needy families who would well
come nice Thanksgiving Dinner By contracting the min
listers of only two churches and principal of school,
turned in for Thanksgiving baskets than
could be supplied Imagine what the number would have
been all churches and schools had been contacted.
THE ARIZONA SUN sautes Marty Myers, and
operator of Jeans Place. of 18th Ave- and Buckeye
Road who made possible Thanksgiving baskets forty
needy families
1t may be interesting to know that Marty Myers being
boy himself, planned this act of benevoence
last summer at which time he solicited the aid of the City
Wide Welfare Club whose purpose to dispense charity
to the underprivileged and asked only to supply
of families who were in need-mind you, but when
he asked of the officers for todmembers
of her organization to busy to find the needy fam
les to whom baskets could be given Do you call this re
gion?
Could there be any better way for the Church any
ganzaton to justify it's existence than to seek help
those in need apd distress?
Mr. Myers deserves the heartest congratuaton his
selfish service to the poor and needy cardinal virtue
To him goes the orchid for the week of Thanksgiving

Union men and women in
~ Michigan have been fun
ing at WJR's newscasters for
years because of their anti-1abor.
anti-iberal, anti-Semitic bias.
Father Coughin, and later
Gerald L. K. Smith, used WJR
as forum for spreading their
pro-fascist propaganda. A WJR
announcer was sent to the Michi-
gan state legislature with Homer
Martin, renegade who was ex-
PEELED from the United Auto
Workers (CIO), of which he had
been president; the announcer
pleaded for strict union-busting
laws.
Now the auto workers know
why WJR has had such a con-
sistently bad record.
WJR'S former news director,
news editor, and news writer
said in sworn statements to the
Federal Communications Com
mission that Gene A. Richards,
the owner, had ordered them to
smear labor, the Jews, the Com
munists, Henry Wallace, David
Lilienthal, and other individuals
and groups.
Later Richards news editor at
WMPC CLOS Angeles, filed an
affidavit affirming that he, too,
had received such orders.
The FEC belatedly began an
investigation into the new charges
and into old ones that have
been piling up for years against
WJR, WMPC, and against third
Richards station, VICAR Cleve-
land.
