 Eight deaths were attributed .o the quake, four from casca3.ug bricks and walls. three from heart attacks and one from a stroke doc tors said resulted from excitement over the tremor.
 More than thrcc-score persons in various western Washington cities required treatment for in- juries.
 The S15,OOO,OOO estimate of damage was made last night by Charles w. Bryant, state director of civil defense He conducted a telephOnic survey of eight cities which reported roughly S6,400,0O0 in damages to buildings, power systems, water supplies, etc. Bry- ant said that by the time he re- 1 ceived figures from seven other quake-rocked cities he felt the S15,000,00 figure would be reach ed or passed.
 Railroad bridge engineers were faced with one quirk of the quake. The Northern Pacific span across the Duwamish River was jared six inches too short on one side and six inches too long on the other. Thus it can not be closed. A nearby vehicular drawbridge was jammed shut by the quake, and could not be raised for ship traf- fic.

Alaska Chronicle of report concerning distribution of royalties from book of which the late Governor Troy was sponsor The book Merle Colbys Guide to Alaska The estate paid to the government sum approxmating s2500 in 1947 in royalties the book and has arranged all subsequent royalties turned over for public use.
 "The Chronicle did not intend at any time to impugn the motives question the honesty of MT Faulkner or Mrs. Monsen in this matter" Baker said today Investigation of the entire matter convnces me that an error was made, which promptly rec tified Mrs Monsen did not receive any of the royal ties concerned Mir Faulkner engaged in lengthy cor respondence in the matter and has accounted for all royalties received by the estate and turned them over for public purposes"
 Baker said he was likewise dismissing libel action he filed against The Daily Alaska Empire short- ly after he was defendant in the above cases It dealt with testimony he made before the Senate here in opposition to sales tax.
 The Editor of The Empire is of glad to have the libel settled as we do not enjoy suing a fellow publisher, although in this case we had no alternative However the retracton published in the Ketchikan Chronicle is little ambiguous in stating that the Estate of John W Troy paid to the Gov ernent certain royalties approximately S250000 late in l947 This might be taken to that the royal ties were paid after the publication of MT. Bakers allegd UbelOuS article AS matUef O1 1act ties had been paid the Executor of the Estate by the Macmillan Company of New York under contract which had been improperly drawn by government official in Washington. That contract provided for the payment of royalties to John W. Troy and not to the Government That is the reason the Macmillan Company paid the royalties to the Executor after MT Troy's death. The Executor at that time had no knowledge of the fact that the contract should have provided for the payment of the royalties to the gov ernment. As soon as that fact was brought to his attention, the Executor made arrangements to turn over the royalties to the Government after getting the consent of the Macmillan Company, and this was done before the publication of the alleged lbelous article.
 Later on and in November 1948, new contract was prepared by the Government with the Macmillan Company and with leave of the Probate Court at Juneau the Eecutor assigned all rights of the estate of John w. Troy back to the Macmillan Company
 complete record of the whole transaction has been on file in the Probate Court at Juneau since before the publication of the alleged belous article

MERRY-GO-ROUND

The French are dead set against letting Field Marshal Montgomery continue as military commander un- der the North Atlantic Pact. He is too dictatorial, too temperamental, and too much a prima donna. Only eisenhower could get along with him during the war. So the French urge that an American general take over. and they would not be ad- verse to Gen. Al Wedemeyer, Chief of American War Plans The National Association of Real Estate Boards raised $37,953 for it's lobby against the rent-control bill. The lobby likes to claim that the big landlords aren't their main support CTS, but one-fourth of this kitty came from only twenty big realtor groups Maj. Gen Alden Waitt, good Chemical Corps commander, is a passionate devotee of clean Illness. He has been bounding the Army to install a new bathroom, shower and kitchenette in his head quarters, and has now finally got them-with air conditioning and soundproofing to boot If the USA could collect all the money the Dutch rubber cartel squeezed out of us in exorbitant prices charg- ed before Pearl Harbor, this would finance our ECA aid to Holland (Which the State Department insists on) ten times over.

cers below, and particularly isn't carried on by the reserve officers who haven't been exposed to four years of intensive Annapolls-West Po.nt tradition.
 2. Other professional men, such as doctors and lawyers, take four years at an accredited college, then specialize at professional school.
 3. Therefore, it's proposed to use Annapolis and West Point as nor nal training schools for all off, cers, mixing up the future com manders of the Army, Navy and Air Force. Not until they have rubbed shoulders and got acquainted for two or three years at West Point or Annapolis would they de- eide their ultimate branch of the service. After this preliminary, nonspecialized training they would specialize at a separate school to become either Air Force or Navy or Army officers.
 Johnson advisers point out that the old-school-tie tradition is strong among all Annapolis and West Point grads. Classmates stick to- gether and their prejudices stick with them years afterward. But if Army, Navy, Air Force officers have all trained together in the same class, they will work together more comparatively, even though they later join rival branches of the service.
 Note-A committee of noted edu- cators under some distinguished scholastic figure, such as President James Conant of Harvard, would study the matter first and recom- mend the best solution to the Sec letary of National Defense.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-tR- A new government appraisal of liv- ing costs is expected to show a de- cline for the fifth straight month.
 The governments consumer price index has reclined steadily for the past four months from the August September peak. A further decline in the latest issue of the index is forecast.
 The index will reflect consumer prices for id-February. Food costs probably will show a drop for the seventh straight month. Continuing wholesale price declines have tele- graphed further reductions at the retail level
 However, officials say the price decline is likely to come to a halt soon.

COMMUNICATION

To the Editor, Daily Alaska En- pire:-I have just addressed the following letter to my friend, Rep- resentative Ipalook, and would ap- preciate it if you would give it pub lication in the Empire:
 Anchorage, Alaska
 March g, 1949 Dear Friend Percy:
 Territorial House of Representatives Juneau, Alaska
 Dear friend Pency:
 I note with interest your sup port of the National Guard bill, especially with regard to the Es- kimo Scout Units. I appreciate your sincerity, but trust we do not have repetition of the ATG which all but served the purpose for which it was intended.
 also note your discussion in regard to the episode last summer in which IT Eskimos were informed or "held prisoners" by the Russians on Big Diomedes. I trust you have enlightened the other members Of the House, as well as the public at large, that the Alaska Native Ser- vice had issued these innocent peo- ple PERMITS to make the propos- ed trip to Siberia. I believe this was also violation of the wish .es of the United States Army and the Department of State. have in my possession sworn statements by two of the boys who were among the IT. The permits were given them by a MT. Albert Heinrich, Ma tive Service Representative on Little Diomede.
 In my opinion there was no ex- cuse for these Eskimos even land- ing on the Big Diomedes. If our Governmental Agencies cannot re- spect the instructions of their own statutes, certainly the uninformed public cannot be held responsible.
 These statements which I have from the two boys does not verify , the horrible treatment which has gained publicity. They were denlee sufficient food, but were allowed privileges among the Natives or the Big Diomedes. The questioning by the Russian authorities was per haps matter of form similar tt that which was given the Siberian boys who landed in Nome during i 1947.
 Sincerely,
 c. Dewey Anderson

CIVIL RIGHTS AGAIN

Highlight of President Truman's private meeting with Congressional leaders immediately following his return from Key West was a decis- ion to make another try for enact ment of the civil rights program.
 Senate majority leader Scott Lu- cas intends to press for a roll call vote not only on anti-lynching and poll tax repeal, but on the hotly controversial Unemployment -prac- tices program, chief target of Dixie filibusterers.
 However, the Senate decks will be cleared first Of other major bills, including new labor law, social-security extension, public housing and minimum-w wage legis- lation-all road-blocked by the re- cent talkathon.
 Of course, I. still think that is the way it should have been hand led in the first place." remarked Lucas, who was never enthusiastic about the White House strategy Of an early showdown on CIVIL rights.
 Truman, tanned and healthy grinned happily and said that he also, had not intention of abandon ing civil-rights legislation.
 Lucas observed that Republican Senators who joined with the Dixie Democrats in the recent filibustel already are beginning to feel the backlash of public opinion iron their states.

There are many kinds OF water
birds, but most of them make their
nests on shore. 1t is rare thing
to find birds which nest on water.
Yet there are such birds and hell
divers are examples. Hell-divers
belong to the grebe family and also
go under the name of pied-billed
grebes. Some persons call them
water witches or dab-chicks.
If we look closely enough, we may
SOY the nest of a hell-diver family
in a pond or lake, or upstream in
slow river. If a lake is chosen, the
nest is placed near shore, in the
midst of water plants. The plants
most often are rushes.
After picking spot for their
homes pair of hell-divers will
f1atten out parts of the plants which
grow above the surface and then
will build up the nest.
Bits of rushes are used for the
nest, along with other plants and
perhaps little mud. The nest may
rise a few inches above the water,
but it becomes a wet little island.
The eggs are white at first, but are
stained brown after touching moist
material in the nest.
When a mother hell-diver leaves
the nest, she spreads plant parts over
the eggs. In that way the eggs are
hidden.
Other kinds of grebes also build
floating nests. The much larger
Western grebe has nearly the same
customs, but its nest has a great
deal more area. The average length
of a hell-diver is about 13 inches.
A Western grebe has a length twice
as great.
All baby grebes are able to go into
the water soon after they are
Matched. Usually they take their
first swim at the age Of one day.
They aye fat. fluny little things and
