 Wife's Govt. Support

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 8NR- A former CT who had been expect ing an Army insurance check got the surprise of his life when he opened a letter from the govern ment.
 The letter said: You owe the United States S5,680."
 Arthur Washington, a hotel DOT ter. read on.
 Seems the Army had been paying Washington's estranged wife S30 a month family allowance from the day of his discharge in October, 1943, to Sept. 30, 1949.
 The letter from the Army finance center at St. Louis added that the situation had created an indebted ness of S5,68O."
 Washington, who said he and his wife had separated six years ago, took the letter in stride.
 T haven't got 80 cents," he said.

WAS 'KILR0Y' THERE.
 100 MILES IN FROM
 POINT LAY IN 1842!

A piece of flat sandstone with the names WEIR WARD" and the date 1842 etched into it ar- rived today at the Territorial Mus cum after being discovered by a Geological Survey party last sum mer some 100 miles inland from Point Lay, high in the Arctic.
 The sandstone, about a half-inch thick and about nine by 12 inches in area, has been in tie Smith sonian Institute since being found eut was sent to Juneau on request of Museum Curator Edward l.. Keithahn.
 The words, which Keithahn be- lieves are the surnames of two men, are written in faint capital letters, the date being scratched in 6eside the words in much smaller size.
 There is no way of ascertaining the slabs exact age by telltale weathering marks, because sand stone wears down evenly. If vein of quartz or other hard material were in the slab, it would be an easy matter to ascertain if the date were genuine, he said.
 Russian explorers of Alaska had not reached even the Yukon in those early days, Keithahn said, but American whalers were quite active then in the Boring and Arctic seas. He believes the stone may have aeen etched by two men from a whaler frozen in at the mouth of the Utokok River and who went nland to hunt for. caribou, there being none on the coast. The Uto- xok is known as the Carbon River near its headquarters.
 The possibility of whalers doing inc carving is dimmed by the fact the lettering was obviously made oy an educated person, few of whom sailed in whaling vessels in those days, Keithahn pointed out.
 The possibility of it's being hoax and perhaps etched in 1922 by lwo soldiers was discussed by Keith ahn, but he knew of no armed forces being near this area dur ng the war.
 The stone was found on small tiff of outcropping sandstone by he survey party and sent east Or examination. The Bureau of Ethnology kept it this winter, un- lble to determine anything about it. But, said the bureau head, lit scarcely seems possible anyone ,ould have been at this point as arly as 1842."
 Keithahn said he had records lf two men named Weir and Ward who lived in Juneau during the .38Cs, but they would have been co young to have made such a journey 40 years previous.
 The object is on display out side the curator's office in the museum pending his finding a per- nanent spot to put it on display.

Truman Signs Bill
For Defense BuiIdina
By the kssoeioted Press

President Truman signed yes
terday an act authorizing more
than a half billion dollars worth
of construction during the next
two years for the armed services.
In the list are millions of dol
lars for super secret projects not
even identified in congressional re-
ports.
The legislation also authorizes
funds, which Congress must pro-
vide later. for airflelds, Army posts
and naval shore installations, in
this country and other parts of
the. world where United States
armed forces are stationed.
There is provision in the bill for
more housing in Alaska so defense
forces in that strategic area can
be expanded, and for communica-
tions and radar defense there.
Pacific bases are included too.
Locations and amounts for
scores of the projects previously
were made public as the bill
passed through the Senate and
House and then a conference COM
mittee.
1t is expected to cover top pri-
ority items for the Army, Air
Force, Navy and Marines for the
next two years.
In al. some 1896 million was
approved. including about $135
million for the Army. 1920 million
for the Navy. $215 million for the
Air Force and the balance for the
secret projects.

Reich S NationaIism
Faces Test Today in
Ruhr Valley Election
BY the Associated Press

FRANKFURT, Germany, June
I17.-Germany's Ruhr Valley may
give an answer tomorrow to every
body's question:: How strong is
Germany's new nationalism?
Millions of German miners, steel
workers and employees from thou
sands of factories will elect state
Legislature.
Their ballots also may answer
the question: Has Communism lost
or gained in West Germany?
Both Nationalists and Commu-
nists claim to be confident but
responsible political observers
both German and Allied, feel that
democratic forces will come out as
strong as before.
Areas Industries Booming.
The Ruhr is part Of the sprawl
ing British zone state of North
Rhine -Westphalia. The election
is for a 215-man assembly to re-
place the middle Of the road leg
islature which the voters chose
in 1947.
In three years North Rhine
WeStphalia has risen from a de-
pressed area of war-ruined and
idle factories to a booming indus
trial powerhouse.
| Its production is nearing the
best Hitler could do before he
turned its peaceful industry tc
war goods. e ~. s.
Its children now have eggs and
oranges where three years age
they scratched among empty trash
cans.
This Is why observers believe
the states 9 million voters will
go largely as they did in 1947-
37.4 per cent for the Conservative
Christian Democratic Party anc
80 per cent for the left of center
Social Democrats.
Gives Clue to Public Opinion.
The state has one-fourth ol
West Germany's entire voting pop.
ulation.
Along with the other state elec.
tions which will take place thi!
summer and fall it may give &
clue to the tides of public opinion
in Western Germany since tn,
Bonn republic was established.
When the West German Parlia.
ment was elected q year ago
the Nationalists had insufficien
strength even to campaign.
