MS KOTZEBUE RETURNS
AFTER HAZARDOUS TRIP

The MS Kotzebue, long over
due, arrived in the roadstead yes
terday after a hazardous and
gruelling trip-one which Capt.
Jack Bullock will long remember.
The Kotzebue was frozen in
Snake River for the winter and
left the harbor this spring as soon
as navigation was open, to pick
up three barges of oil at Dutch
Harbor to be delivered to several
stations north of Nome.
Ordinarily the weather is good
during the period when the ice is
leaving Boring Sea, and calm seas
prevail. However, the Kotzebue
ran into foul weather all along
the way and was battered con-
tinuouSly from the time it took on
its tow. One barge was lost it is
reported and the other two are in
bad condition.

Ex-Premier OF
Spain Passes On

MADRID, Spain (P)-Alejandro
Lerroux, SO, five times premier of
Republican Spain, died early this
morning.
The family announced that Ler-
roux, who had proclaimed his ag-
Mysticism throughout his life, re-
turned to the Catholic Church and
received the Sacrement on his
deathbed He will be buried in
Madrid's Catholic cemetery.
Lerroux was reported i'll in Lis
bon, Portugal, in l94l. He had
been in exile there since the civil
war. In l947 GeneraliSsimo Fran
co gave him permission to return
to Spain. A lifelong Republican
he had been exiled several times
by King Alfonso XIII. Each time
he returned, his power as chief Of
the radical Republican party grew
greater.
LerrouX was as strongly OppoS-
ed to socialism and communism
as he was to the monarchy, and
for this reason left-wing groups
prevented his election as president
of the Republic after the throne
was overturned in 1881.

to light a tree. exchange presents,

It's wonderful that 1t happens,
But first, to feel the cheer, they
need good health. They need to
have inside them the driving sense
of life and the knowledge that
they can take part in it with
vigor.
So good health is the basis OF
real cheer. The cheer rings hol-
