HESS BODY NEAR

covered the body of Clarence J.
Hess, 55, Sandusky, at noon on
Tuesday along the Sandusky Bay
shore just west of Nelson's
marsh, Erie County Acting Coro-
ner Harrison Pratt reported.
Mr.. Hess had been missing since

eastbound passenger train along
the New York Central railroad
bridge. They said the injured man
was thrown into the bay.
= Marblehead and Cedar Point
coastguardsmen searched the area
but could not find the body.
Death apparently was due to in
juries suffered in the train acci-
dent and not from drowning, DR..
Pratt said. He is withholding a
final verdict, pending further in
quiry into the case.
Surviving are the widow, Mary;
a daughter, Mrs. William Kirner;

other two men are from Flint,
Michigan, and Cleveland. New
students will arrive weekly.
AS Mr.. Cont specializes in ship
welding and is the inventor of a
spectacular new cutting tip for
Welding irons, it was logical that
he should be selected to teach this
course.
After completing Conti's course,
the students are expected to be
able to do welding on Great Lakes
ships while the boats are in ser
vice, and thus costly drydock lay
overs will be shortened.
The student welders will also
be taught to operate Conti's new
invention, for which patent has
been applied for and which already
is under production in Conti's
partners plant in Cleveland.

COM. SENDS FAVORABLE
 REPORT ON COMMIS. BILL

WASHINGTON -- Delegate Bart let's bill to increase from $3OO0 to S500O the net fees which '. s. Commissioners in Alaska may re- tain as annual compensation has been reported favorably to the Sen ate by the Senate Committee on In terior and Insular Affairs. The measure. H.R. 3973. passed the House last July 21.
 The present limitation of $30O0 has been in existence since 1900. At the present time the incrase in compensation would affect si X United States Commissioners ln Alaska, namely. those at Nome. Fairbanks Anchorage. Seward. Ju- neau and Ketchikan
 Delegate Bartlett still hopes that Congress will act favorably on his measure to place Commissions CTS in the Territory on a salary basis. thus benefiting considerably more United states Commissioners than does H.R. 3973.

A PROCLAMATION

During the past year We have witnessed the magnificent work of the American Red Cross in assist ing victims of disaster here in AL aska and throughout the United States. We have seen the value of Red Cross health and safety pro- grams. which are constantly being expanded Our veterans and their families have received many vital welfare services through their lo- cal Red Cross chapters, and field and hospital workers continue to serve our troops
 Besides maintaining these essen tial activities, the Red Cross is ex- banding it's new National Blood Program, which will ultimately provide blood and it's derivatives without charge to everyone who needs them for medical purposes.
 In order to fulfill its obligations, the American Red Cross needs the generous support of all the people The national goal of the 194S Fund Campaign, to begin March 1, is $75.0O0.0O0.
 l urge the citizens of Alaska to respond whole-heartedly in the coming fund appeal By giving, you will strengthen the organization which is devoted to your welfare.
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, l have hereunto set my hand and the Seal of the Territory of Alaska, al Ju- neau. the Capital, this 18th day or February. 1948.

Tiny lnghom, HotSports Fan, Is Ubiquitous Soul
Wife and Son Notch Him Getting Big Variety Of Events

Tiny played with Sholl's for
four years, then ventured into
pro basket ball with the Heurich
Brewers In 1885 with Ralph
Bonnie, Whitley Wilson, Moon
Evans, Bucky Buscher, Roy
Vowel, Ev Russell and Joe
Crosson. Il guess you'd call us
pros says Tiny, 'but we didn't
make any money out of it,"
There was friction with the
Brewers when two or three
players became point-happy and
it f1ared into the open shortly
before Heurich's was to face the
New York CelticS in q series of
games. Three Of the fellows went
to Chris Heurich and said they'd
quit if they didn't. get more
money. Chris Is a wonderful
fellow but he doesn't like. to be
showed around, so he told them
to quit.
1--WE played the Celtics without
them and we didn't exactly SPAR
kle. They beat us every game
with a bunch of old fellows like
Joe Lapchick, Davy Banks, Pete
Barry and Dutch Dehnert. They
had played together so long they
knew every move a teammate
would make. They were slow
then, but they could pour it on
in spurts. I played against the
Celtics when they were aging
but In their prime I don't be-
lieve they would have beaten
the top pro team of today"
Ingham regained his amateur
standing easily. II simply told
Joe Aronoff, the AAU man. that
I hadn't cleared any money with
the Brewers, which was true. He
must have known something
about our setup because he said,
That's good enough for me-
and / was an amateur again."
Employed by Federal Works
Agency in an administrative
capacity, Ingham doesn't leave
a tuning wife to attend sports
events. His wife, Lu, matches
his enthusiasm for sports and, Of
course, it's a wonderful life for
their 8-year-old boy, Larry.
Larry went to camp for month
last summer, but he may miss 1t
this year. 1--WE took In a lot of
sports events while he was gone"
says Tiny, but we really didn't
enjoy them. We get most of our
enjoyment watching Larry get
such q kick out of sports"

that, he discovered, when on the
first play Fort Monroe's center
greeted him with spray Of to-

reminisced Tiny. I'VE won the
District AAU and Community
Center championships and Sholl's
sent us to Kansas City for the
National championships. That was
where they separated the men
from the boys and we soon found
ourselves among the children.
1--WE won three games there,
but then we bumped into the
Olympic Club of San Francisco.
They had a 6-foot 10-inch center
and their smallest man was So.
We didn't have much height and
we lost what chance we had when
our center went out early in the
game with a twisted ankle. Any
way, they murdered U.S."
