LUXURY CRUISE SHIP
 PRINCESS KATHLEEN
 TO DOCK HERE SAT.

CPR's luxurious cruise ship Prin- cess Kathleen will dock here Satur- day on the first of eight cruises during the summer.
 officers aboard the Kathleen will be entertained royalty by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce which plans cocktail party Satur- day afternoon in honor of the cruise ships crew.
 The Princess Kathleen returns to passenger service after com mendable record of war service with the British Admiralty. With her sister ship, the Princess Mar guerite, prior to the war she ran regularly between Vancouver and Seattle as two of the finest ships in the coastal trade.
 With the advent of the last world war they were commissioned to enter war service, and after being fitted out with the necessary guns ir Victoria. BC., they both steamed cut of the harbor to thelr great adventure.
 For enc vessel, the war spelt doom. The Princess Marguerite was torpedoed by an Italian su-marlne ir the Mediterranean, but the Kathleen came through her war service without a scratch. In the spring of 1946 she again steamed into Victoria harbor from England, having circumvented the globe ln her travels.
 The Princess Kathleen was com pletely remodeled again ilr- the Victoria shipyards and refurnisheo in a grand style at cost of ap- ploximately s2,O00,000.
 As a reminder of her war serV- ices, today she carries a plaque Ill her social hall showing every port at which she touched during the war.

ARGUMENT IN LIMOUSINE

Knowing that Truman was irked, Acheson hinted that it would be wise to report to the President be- fore going on the air
 Truman, however, had gone down the Potomac on the yacht Williams buIg-perhaps as deliberate re- buff to Byrnes. This made thc Secretary of State highly indignant, and Acheson had a hard time ex- blaming that this was Truman s only way of escaping constant stream of callers. Truman, he ex- plained, had been just as busy as Byrnes.
 This led to a heated argument between Byrnes and Acheson while driving from the airport, but. in the end, the Secretary of State flew down the Potomac to see Truman, got stranded by bad weather, and became further annoyed when Acheson implied that he hadn't fully reported the Moscow pro- ceedings. To settle the argument Acheson had complete set of the telegrams he sent to Byrnes. and the replies Byrnes had sent him, placed before Truman so he could judge for himself,

NEWSMEN SCOOP THE
 GOVERNMENT

What got Truman particularly irked was that the final protocol signed at Moscow was broadcast by the Moscow radio long before Byrn- es cabled it to the State Depart ment. Therefore, the President, who had flown out to Independence, Mo. read the final results in the morning papers almost before he got a report from the State De- partment.
 Truman was further irked when Byrnes. flying back from Moscow, sent a message to Bill Benton, As sistant Secretary of State for Pub lie Information. telling him to ar range for a radio broadcast in which Byrnes would report to the American people.
 When Brynes arrived Acheson went to the airport to meet him and, while driving home, Jimmie casually mentioned his forthcom- ing broadcast. What broadcast?' asked Acheson. Byrnes told him.

the story to close friends. During that time he saw the President five times a week, ill addition to be- ing summoned on other occasions, and was constantly embarrassed at not being able to report on what was happening at Moscow
 Several times Acheson cabled Byrnes for reports, but sometimes he never even got an acknowledge ment. Dean figured that the mes sages went to Byrnes' devoted sec retary, Miss Cassie Connors, who probably reasoned to herself that Byrnes was tired and shouldn't be bothered with reporting to Wash- ington.
 At enc time, Byrnes cabled: Tell Maud (Mrs. Byrnes) that my cold is better" But he cabled little or no information to Truman.

This incident was the first time the sparks flew between Truman and Byrnes.
 Things calmed down later, But the real fact is that Jimmie's scan- ty reporting of the Moscow confer ence started the chain of cir cumstances that led to his sudden resignation.

More Trend
(Anchorage News

Other observers of the political trend m Aiaska have noticed the swing away from the Gruenlng ao- ministraton the News pointed out in thls column few days ago.
 Most recent to noice the change is the Alaska Weekly whose editor Earl Knight watches the Alaska picture from his office in Seattle closely as the most ardent territorial resident. MT Knight wrote ln his last issue
 There have been times in the past, as our reader may have noticed in which thinking has not been in full accord with that of contemporary BOD Atwood of the Anchorage Times. In his issue of May 24 however there appears an editorial with the main thesis of which find no basis of disagreement. While we do not agree with all the statements and nferences contained therein he ably proves the con- tention carried in his editorial title, Democrats Are Failing in Their Stewardship.
 We believe it was Emerson who said Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds and pleased to note that Publisher Atwood removed any doubts which may have existed concerning the caliber of his thinking equipment and do journalistic right about-face as has come to our notice in many years.
 While at no place in his indictment does he commit the sacrilege naming his hero of yesterday Governor Gruening it is difficult to square his attack on the Democratic administration without assuming that he does not wholly approve the undoubted czar of that administration
 'There are carping critics among the people of Anchorage who say Publisher Atwood is very much displeased with the handling of the matter of the Department of Public Welfare and that the sudden awareness that all is not well in Juneau stems from that displeasure choose to believe that Brother Atwood has at long last become disgusted with the record of the Gruening machine and has the courage to say so in spite his past whoeheared support Of that organization"

MASTERS HAND
By Myra Brooks WEIGH

Twas battered and SCARED, and the auctoneer
Thought it scarcely worth his while
To waste much time on the old violin,
But held it up with smile;
"What am hidden, good folks he cried,
who'll start the bidding for me?"
A dollar, dollar two, only two,
Two dollars, and who'll make it three?
"Three dollars once, three dollars twice,
Going for three but
From the room far back, gray haired man
Came forward and picked up the bow
Then wiping the dust from the old violin
And Tightening up the strings
He played melody pure and sweet
AS sweet as an angel sings.
The music ceased and the auctioneer,
With voice that quiet and low,
Said, "What am bid for the old violin?'
And he held it up with the bow.
"A thousand dollars and who'll make it two?
Two thousand, and who'll make it three?
Three thousand once, three thousand twice,
And going and gone" said he
The people cheered and some of them Cried
eve do not quite understand
What changed it's WORTH" swiftly came the reply
"The touch of masters hand
And many with life out of tune,
And battered and torn with sin,
Is auctioned cheap to a thoughtless crowd,
Much like the old violin.
"a mess of pottage,'' glass of wine,
A game and he travels on
He is going once, and going twice,
He is going and almost gone,
But the Master comes, and the foolish crowd
Never quite understand
The worth of SOUL and the change that's wrought
By the TOUCH of the MASTERS HAND!

MISSIONARY LETTER,
ISABEL CAMPBELL
CONTINUED from Page -


freakish storm-it became sud-
denly very cold and blustery
and began to hail. 1t lasted for
about half an hour and was
very disastrous to the gardens
the native corn and beans
are in shreds and ruined. The
hail formed drifts that looked
like winter snow back home.
Neither we nor the Africans
ever saw so much hail-they
were all upset. The strange
thing was that it remained cold
and most of the ice didn't melt
for a long time. There is a lit
tie even yet, at noon. AS soon
as it let up a little, we went out
and took some pictures. Billy
was so excited. He put on his
heavy clothes and boots so he
could go out and play. When
Gene came home he started
throwing snowballs at us -
more fun! On the equator one
never knows what the weather
will be!
It's evening now, we are
home again, and supper is over,
and we are tired.
A package came from you
last Friday, and was it ever
fun! Thanks loads for every
thing. The dress was red, to
my surprise. l don't know
where I got it into my head but
I thought it would be green
not that care, l was just plea
sanity surprised. l did as you
said about fixing it, and fin
ished it today. It looks nice.
There were wieners in the box
and brown bread; curtains,
buildings, olives, and thread.
Everything is grand. We near
ly swooned when we saw the
wieners and olives!
Oh, forgot to tell you! The
folks made ice cream, and used
the hail stones for freezing!
Was it ever good! They made
more today and we had all we
wanted. Yesterday, Faith made
an apple pie too! Can you i'm
agine us eating apple pie a la
mode out here in the sticks!
By the way, Faith asked me
to tell you to let her mother
know that all is we'll - she is
just so busy she can't get a let
ter written. Billy is we'll and
getting so grown up = as he
grows taller, the stories he tells
do the same. He loves trying
to make us believe things that
are downright impossible-for
instance, yesterday when it
started to blow and sprinkle,
he told me he had just come
from the river and that the
waves were rolling over the
bridge and I would never be
able to cross. 1t just SO happen
ed, after the storm was over,
the water was flowing over the
bridge a little. Yes, Billy is a
real boy and we do enjoy hav-
ing him around. Once in a
while he gets a guilty feeling
about not coming over to our
hill to see us and says, 'Iz, I'll
try and come over tomorrow
if [ can"
