"Red Star" Plane Sighted Over Tiny Alaskan Village

SEATTLE, (P) - An Alaskan merchant said Saturday that an airplane bearing a red star was seen flying over his home village last August.
 John T. Emel, owner of the Der ing Trading company, said the plane appeared over the town of Alakanuk, 300 miles southeast of Nome last August.
 Emel, postmaster of the town, said he was in a boat at the time and saw the ship flying at about 1000 feet. The sun was in his eyes, he said, and he could see only that it resembled BPS.
 He added, however, that two residents of the village told him they saw a red star on the fuse lage and red painted on the planes .ail and wing tips. He said the two were a fisherman and native girl.
 The plane circled low, Emel said, and then flew north up the Yukon river.
 Emel said he notified army au- thorities and they questioned him about the plane.

Calypso Singers Gird
For Strenuous 2-Day
Carnival in Trinidad
By Horry Lever
Star Staff Corrsspendsns.

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (By
MaiD The Calypso singers, for
which this Caribbean island, is
worlo-famed, are preparing for their
1949 carnival which takes place here
on the two days preceding Ash
Wednesday.
Visitors from all over the world
come to this pre-lenten festival to
see the West Indian discard his
cares and make the most of music,
dance and song during the period of
wild revelry in this British colony.
The carnival, it is said, first orig
mated years ago rs. the result Of
pagan custom practiced during the
pre- Christian days of Saturnalia.
AS modified now, the two-day festi-
val sees converts paying farewell to
the devil, pomp. vanity and lust be-
fore entering on the period Of fast
ing and repentance during the 40
days of Lent.
Bands Compete.
The modern festival. with merri-
ment centering heavily in the area
from famed st. Vincent's street to-
famous Red House. places emphasis
on the Calypso music which grew
out of the old "gayope" songs, the
Calinda melodies and Bango and
Shango religious airs.
In the cabarets of Port of Spain,
Calypso bands which are deter
mined to take high honors during
the festival, already are competing
against rival groups from all parts
of Trinidad. The West Indians here
are busily working on the masquer-
ades, melody, movement and color
One type of musical group which
participates every year is known as
the steel band" It's instruments
are metal odds and ends ranging
from huge washtubs to small pieces
Of steel. The result when played
is q pulsating, and monotonous
rhythm, in many cases attuned to
the events Of the moment, and
which inspires the Trinidad mas
querader to the great energy re-
quired to keep him on his feet for
the full 48 hours.
Queen Is Crowned.
As the masqueraders parade, q
carnival queen is crowned and
then she issues the regal edict to
the citizens of Trinidad:
Cast all your troubles to abandon
and take on the mask of mirth and
jollity and may not one sad moment |
mar your happiness and enjoyment
of this, our carnival season." 4
Most basic carnival designs are
used from year to year, but there
is a good deal Of novelty and orig
inality. Members of Flanders Poppy
Band are thinking of wearing |
Scotch kits during the coming pag-
cant. Other bandsmen, as in the
past, will be dressed as devils, sail
ors, old colonists, witch doctors,
pirates, or as skeletons. Many of
the ingenious costumes portray his
torical scenes. |
Americans Participate.
Waller Air Force Base, an Ameri-
can installation 20 miles from Port
of Spain, participates in the carni-
val every year. Last year the West
Indians were a bit startled by see
ing a silver-painted jeep with air.

concsrnsd about the coming event.
They like to give full attention to
the arrangements, but something
else is causing them preoccupation.
The city presently is troubled by
nail thefts.
Under Great Britain's austerity
program, nails can only be imported
from the mother country and there
are very few in Trinidad. In the
middle Of the night thieves pull
nails from houses. The item Is so
scarce that nails even are being
rented. There is q special market
among builders of adobe houses.
When sections of adobe are still
soft they are nailed together. When
they harden and adhere to each
other, the nails are pulled out and
returned to the renter.

Coroner Tells Doctors
Investigations Curb
Illegal Operations

Thorough investigation of abor-
ton cases Is the best way to re-
duce the number of illegal opera
tions and to bring offenders to tfial,
Coroner A. Magruder Macdonald
told the District Medical Society
last night.
| The District coroner, speaking at
q meeting to discuss legal problems
in medicine, advised doctors to
agree to treat complications arising
from illegal operations only If pa
tients agree to full Investigations
OF their cases.
Such actions not only protect the
doctors but have helped bring
many abortionists to trial." DR..
Macdonald said.
His remarks were made when a
doctor asked if physicians are
forced to report abortion cases.
Daniel j. Anderson, an attorney,
declared, however, the law forbids
doctors to report such matters If
they are learned in the normal
doctor patient relationship" In
fact, he added, doctors cannot even
report suspicious of a crime in
volving a patient unless the crime
already is known.
According to District law, Mr.. An
derSon said, doctors must regard as
confidential any information re-
garding their patients, except in
criminal cases when the defendant
kills or Injuries a human being"
Even then, he said, disclosure OF the
information must be for "the in
terest of public justice" and the
court must decide on the latter
point.
United States Attorney George
Morris Fay was the third speaker
on the program.

auditorium at 1718 M street NV,
was conducted by DR.. Ivy Pelzman,

Naturally, you try to write inter-

special friends. Do you do as much
for aunts and uncles and casual

And how does the letter look?
Legibility and neatness are basic.
Practice your -penmanship and
choose good-quality paper and an
emcient pen. A spluttering point
and soft, cheap stationery cause
blots and scrawls, you know.
Next, consider the form Of the

Leave plenty of space at the top
OF this sheet, to lend dignity and
graciousness. And don't crowd the
lines.
Remember that strangers will in
spect the outside of your most pri-
