don't you?"
Dale and looked at each
other and nodded. There was
something more pathetic than
sinister in the little man: he'd
almost made US forget that he
was talking about killing us.
One thing we got out of his
explanation: he wasn't foofmg.
He said he'd do whatever else he
had to do, and he meant it. 1t

that he didn't have to kill us.

NO." he stated reasonably.

, Percenter Probe Retires l General; Restores l To Duty

WASHINGTON, R)-The army said Saturday that one of two gen erals who figured in the Senate's five percenter" investigation will be restored to active duty and the other will be retired.
 Secretary of the army Gray an nounced these actions:
 The application of Maj. Gen. Al den H. Wait, suspended chief of the army's chemical corps, for retirement will be approved.
 Maj. Gen. Herman Feldmsn was restored to his post as quarter master general of the army effec- tive Saturday.
 Gray suspended the two officers on July l6, pending outcome of Senate subcommittee investiga- ton of the charges of influence in government buying
 Both men subsequently, testified before the committee with regard to reports linking their names with that of James V. Hunt, key fig ure in the inquiry into activities of five perCenters - persons who cOllec: fee for helping business men obtain government contracts.
 As for Waitt, Gray said: II have found no evidence of dishonesty or conduct justifying trial by court martial"
 Gray said Feldman had commit ted "errorS of judgment which I do not condOne" but he added that Feldman has convinced me that there will be no repetition of this lapse of judgment"
 The secretary praised both off cers for their long service to the army. He said Wait had served honestly and faithfully and that he made major professional con- tributions toward the development of the chemical corps"

Wood said, Although 10 percent profit, before taxes, was authorized under the agreement, we earned but 6.3 per cent"
 Another point that is not gen. orally realized" he continued, lis that The Alaska Line is not re- ceiving any help from the govern ment whatsoever at this time and hasn't been since the termination of the last voyage under the Inter i'm Agreement. The fact that the Congress passed legislation per hitting the extension of the agree ment has confused many into thinking that it was extended. Ac tually, the Maritime Commission did not choose to extend the plan, so it was terminated June 30, l946."
 Since that time the Alaska Steamship Company has not only operated on a strictly private ba- sis" Mir. Wood pointed out, but has added two units to its private ly owned fleet-the MS. Terminal Knot and the SS. Chief Washable. Now we have seven of our own vessels and eleven chartered yes sels serving Alaska"
 With 50 years experience meet ing the shipping needs of all the Territory with complete transpor- tation service-passenger, freight, mail, express, refrigeration and heavy equipment-handling facili- ties-we look forward to years of even greater service to the expand ing needs of prosperous, progress ing Alaska"

Alaska Steamship Co. Releases Report On Interim Agreement Operation t

The Alaska Steamship Company recently released cost figures on the Interim Agreement" opera ton together with detailed infor- nation concerning the elements of the agreement in a report to it's agents.
 MT. w. R. Wood, local company agent commenting on the release, said, Admiral F. A. Zeusler, our executive assistant to the presi- dent, clearly presented the reason ing behind this release when he said The problm of Alaska ship ping is one of the most frequently discussed subjects in the Territory. The subject itself is highly com plex in nature and as a conse- quence the facts are often misun- derstood or distorted. The result is that Alaskans sometimes find Themselves confused in a maze of various charges and rumOrs con- corning this problem which is very close to their daily life"
 To clarify the profit picture for the period of the Interim Agree ment the following chart was pre- pared, showing disbursements of the total Interim operating reven- ue of $13,254,827, realized from May l, l947 through December 31, 1948. The months following the termination date of the Interim Agreement, June 30. 1948, are in- cluded for those vessel voyages be- gun before that date, but because of the lOngshore strike, not com pleted until the end of December.
 Referring to the report, MT.

WEATHER DELAYS WORK ON COUNCIL ROAD

District engineer John Hudert of the Alaska Road Commission re- turned from Council Friday, where he made a survey of the work on the Council Road, which was re- Sumed at the urgent request of the Council miners through an appeal of the Nome Chamber of Com merce last week.
 MT. Hudert stated Saturday that the road crew is fighting very un- favorable weather and unless there is a break in the weather the work will have to cease. The road material which has to be used at the place they are working must hauled three miles from Fox River and is composed mostly of clay and not good material for the road bed. When they are able to reach Bear Creek which is mile and half away they will be able to get good material.
 If unable to proceed on the road, Mir. Hudert stated that he will have the crew work back and improve the road as far as it has gone this season to have it in good condition for spring. He further stated that the funds made available for con-

 The Isely's looked out the door. Here came Chin Chin, proudly.
 He'd gone to the vets and got his bandages changed.
