Rooseve|t's Daughter
Denies Father Suffered
4StrokesB Before Death
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-The daugh-
ter of the late President Roosevelt
says that a doctors claim that hel
father suffered three strokes before
the one that caused his death is
absolutely and completely untrue.
Mrs. Anna Roosevelt Boettiger
replying to a statement by DR.
Karl c. Void, st. Paul. Mimi, SAID
in her regular broadcast over the
American Broadcasting Co. net
work yesterday:
MY father at no time had q
stroke or anything like it until he
suffered the cerebral hemorrhage
which caused his death on April IL
1945."
In a book, part of which is re-
printed in the current issue of Look
Magazine, DR.. Void said Mr.. Roose-
yelt suffered his first stroke, a light
one, in 1898. After a second and
serious stroke in December, 1943, the
doctor wrote, the President was
given only six months to live by
group of doctors.
Mrs. Boettiger said she was Iiv.

closely with my father at the time

was in constant touch with Admiral

BY DR.. Wold's account, the frst
stroke occurred while the President
was visiting his son James at the
Mayo Clinic in 1898.
Mrs. Boettiger said her fathe,
went on a fishing trip in the Gala
pagos and caught 225-pound shark
shortly after the visit to James.
1T is obviously ridiculous to
think" she said, that a few days
after a man had suffered a stroke
his physicians would allow him to
go deep-sea fishing and that he
would be able to land a 225-pound
shark"

One Missing
 Eskimo Rescued

Word has been received by the air force at Marks Field that one of the missing ESkimos lost off King Island on Jan. ', reached Elk pick, north of Shishmaref on Jan. F with badly frozen hands and feet. He was rescued by Arnold Olana of Shishmaref and tells the following story Of the experiences of these hunters who were caught off shore by the storm and unable to get back to land, drifting on the ice in a northerly direction. The message reads:
 Lawrence could not travel on the fourth day and told us to go on and he would pray for our saf- ety, his hands and feet were froz- en. We prayed for him and kept going. Then Raphael froze his hands and feet and told me to keep going and he prayed that 1 would make shore. I prayed for him."
 It is estimated that the survivor travelled about five hundred miles on the drifting ice before reaching shore.
 Gregory Ayak, the survivor was still at Ekpick thsi morning as he. was too badly frozen to travel in a dog sled.
 Gregory was brought in this noon vby Mr. Brooks of the Wea- ther Bureau at Wales in his Cub plane, and is at the M. C. Hospital under the care of pr. Paulson, who reports that his condition is fair both his feet are frozen and he is also suffering from exposure. While drifting the lost men saw two of the rescue planes above them but were unable to attract their attention as they were dress ed in white parkas for hunting.

Nome Becomes Mid-Winter Port

For the first time in the history of Nome boat is offshore in mid winter. Residents were surprised to see the ice-breaker U.S.S. Bur ton Island at anchor this morning and to see its helicopter flying around.
 This craft, it is reported has been about nineteen days enroute to Nome from the Aleutians and since entering the ice pack has av- eraged about five miles a day. This ship was with the Navy force that passed through Nome last July enroute to Barrow. as flag ship with Commander E. R. Mo Donald
 Antonio Polet called to our at tention a recommendation to Con- gress in 1903 by the Chamber of Commerce for an ice breaker to bring the mail from Dutch Harbor to Nome by ice breaker.
 The government did not con- slider it feasible at that time and the only ice-breakers to come here were Russian boats on two differ ent occasions.

Demos Trying To Wipe Out Taft Hartley Act

WASHINGTON, CP)-A bill to repeal the Taft-Hartley labor law sped yesterday toward stormy Senate action, with aroused Re publicans threatening to re-Write the whole measure on the floor.
 Eight Democrats on the Senate labor committee teamed up against the five committee Repub- licans Monday to set a February 10 deadline for winding up hear ings on the bill. The Democrats apparently intend to replace Taft Hartley with an improved" Wag- her act all in one step, with hear ingS starting Friday.
 One of the out-voted Repuoli- cans, Senator Morse of Oregon, who favors Taft-Hartley repeal but only after longer hearings, said the COP will have it's day when the bill goes before the full Senate.
 If we are not heard in the com mittee," he declared, well be heard on the Senate floor"
 Another committee Republican, Senator Taft of Ohio, has said much the same thing.

 The government and communist announcements both came as Red patrols arrived on the north banks of the Yangtze river not far from the capital.

 The peace offer was broadcast as the capitals populace poured out of the Red-periled city, which was raped in 1887 by the Japan csc.
 A radio spokesman for the com munists said the talks could be held in Peiping as soon as that an- cient North China city, taken Sat urday by the Reds, "is completely liberated"
 The Red spokesman listed "cer- tain conditions" to which the gov ernment must agree for the peace talks to be held. Among them were the eight points laid down by com munist leader Mao Tze-Tung on Jan. IA. Ii already has said he would accept them and they mean virtually total surrender.

Gruening Says Legislature Must Balance Budget

JUNEAU (Ho-GOVernOr Greun- ing told the Territorial legislature yesterday an Alaska budget of rec ord proportions must be bal anced"
 In an hour-long message pre- pared for the legislatures joint session, he described the S17,000,- 900 budget as modest" in view of the Territory's long-accumulated needs and untapped revenue sources.
 He described it as $6,000,000 above the previous biennium but in line with constantly increasing budgets of States and other Terri tories.
 Beyond costs outlined in the budget, however, he suggested nu- merous other governmental pro- jects and social services which he said it would be advisable for the legislature to consider.
 Among them he included estab- lishment of a national guard; re- vival of financing plan for vet eran's aid; a continued drive for statehood to bring Alaska a great CT share of federal aid funds; and other benefits; to fill "the no mans land" gap in law enforcement as a counterpart of the Northwest Mounties; creation of a fisheries commission to take over as much control as federal regulations would allow; remedial liquor con- trol measures to meet the prob lem where it has become out of hand"; retirement system for Territorial employees and open to city employees; and the strength ening of the Workmen's compen- sation act with wage collection law and equal pay for equal work by women.
 He admonished the legislators: "Your actions here will shape Alaska's destiny for generations to come"
 He lauded passage of the income tax measure and said the special session was valuable in laying groundwork for other needed rev. enue measures. The governor call ed on the legislators to investigate

LIFTING THE LID
 AT JUNEAU
Tuesday. January 25. l949 By James Hutcheson)

JUNEAU, (P)-The Democrat controlled Territorial House re- ceived eight measures in rapid fire order Monday afternoon after or ganizing for the regular session.
 The Senate finally organized it's committees by pm. after several hours of interparty Wranglin9 over their makeup.
 The two Houses prepared to meet in joint session yesterday to hear the Governors State of the Territory" message.
 Three bills introduced in the House were passed during the spe- cial session which ended Satur- day, but all died in the Senate. They were the general property tax, the quadrupled fish trap tax and increased lobbyist fees bills. 1 To first attempts to rush through measures without sending them to committees, the House ap- piled roadblocks. One was that same property tax bill it had passed in the special session.
 The other was a memorial to Congress and federal officials for immediate abolition of fish traps. Both bills were held back and re- ferred to committees after several members counselled slower treat ment than some measures had re- ceived during the special session.
 Measures were introduced to make the maximum old age assist ance $75 instead of $60 monthly, by Almquist, Beltz, Owen and Dale, and to pay a $50 bounty for wolves, $3O for coyotes by Gun dersen.
 C. Red )Carlson Cordova Demo- crat, introduced the memorial for abolition of fish traps. The rules were quickly suspended for sec ond reading, but on an attempt by William Egan, Valdez Democrat, to suspend for third reading and a vote of passage, Democrat War ren Taylor of Fairbanks objected to speedup tactics which he said, had brought some criticism for steam rollering" during the spe- cial session.
 Egan argued for speed, saying it was needed to support Bart let's bill in Congress, but Carlson consented to sidetrack and sent the memorial to the judiciary commit
