Transports Skipper
Radios Apologies for
Missing Elders S SOS
BY the Associated Press

PEARL HARBOR, Mar. 20
Regrets for missing the distress
signals of the f1re-damaged Navy
net tender Elder last Monday have
been radioed by the master of the
military transport Gen. A. w.
Brewster.
The entire 40-man crew of the
Elder was rescued Friday night,
four days after the Brewster
passed them near the United
States atomic testing grounds in
the nid-Paciflc.
TWenty-six men were picked up
from a life boat and two RATS
after drifting week in the open.
They had been spotted only a
short time before by Navy airmen
who returned to Hawaii yesterday
to tell their part in the rescue.
The other IA men remained
aboard the Elder and put out the
fire after their mates had been or
dered to abandon ship. The IA
were found safe with their ship
several hours after the 26 were
rescued.
Ship Being TOwed Back.
1t. William F. Adams, the
Elders commander, said his crew
fired guns and flares and used
every available signal device in
vain efforts to attract the Brew
ster last Monday. The fire had
knocked out the radio.
The BreWster's captain, whose
name is not known here, sent this
. message to Pearl Harbor for re-
lay to 1t. Adams:
Deeply regret our failure to see
any distress signal as claimed by
Elder when passed at sea. All
aboard Brewster sincerely thank
full that all hands reported safe"
The Elder is being towed 1000
miles back to Pearl Harbor by the
salvage ship Deliver.
Airmen Tell of Rescue.
Navy airmen who spotted the
Elder crewmen returned here yes
terday.
The 81 crewmen of four big
four-engined Privateer patrol
planes were weary after about
so hours in the air, but happy at
the success of their mission.
Aviation Machinists' Mate Fer
nand N. Dumont, first man to
sight the RATS and boat occupied
by the 26, said as he stepped from
one of the Privateers:
i saw what looked like black.
floating debris. We were 1900
feet up and flying fast.
AT first I thought I was lust
seeing spots in front of my eyes.
I'd been staring at the water so
= long I could have been seeing
things.
I'VE went over the RATS and
then saw them better. I yelled
to the pilot"
The pilot, It.. q. g. Jack N.
Lindsey, banked the plane and
circled down to get another look.
1t. Lindsey took up the rescue
story:
"We could make out the men
when We got down to 200 feet.
. They were waving their oars and
skivvy shirts and jumping up and
down on the boat as much as they
could.
We dropped RATS, dye markers
and shipwreek kit with rations.
We must have been so feet above
them when we dropped the stuff.
THE men looked awful happy"
Original reports had said a
plane flown by 1t. William Lee
Adams of West Palm Beach, Fla,
had sighted the boat and RATS
first. But 1t. Adams said when
he returned that he was aboard
another privateer 18 miles from
1t. Lindsley's plane at the time,
and had merely relayed Lindsley's
messages.
1t. Comdr. Clifton B. Davis of
Alexandria, Va, deputy search
and rescue commander, was in an
other Of the rescue planes.

HIGHER BUDGET IS TO BE RECOMMENDED BY WELFARE BOARD.

The Board of Public Welfare met last week, October 24, 25 and 26, and all Board members were present, which included Gov. Grue- ming, Chairman, the Rev. Gallant, Skagway, represen .ing the First Ju- dicial Division; Mrs. Frances Long, ley, Nome, representing the Second Judicial Division, Mrs. Evangellne Atwood, Anchorage, representing the Third Judicial Division, and Dr. Ivar Skarland, of the University of Alaska, at Fairbanks, representing the Fourth Judicial Division.
 The important matters taken up had to do with the proposed bud get for the Department of Public Welfare for the 1951-1953 biennium, and the various changes to be made in the present Territorial laws as they pertain to the welfare pro- grams.
 In the study of the budgetry needs, it was recognized that In order that the Department be more accountable for the programs which they are conducting and in order that they do a better job of super vising the spending of the assist ance money, an increased appro- priation for administration would be necessary.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1950-10-30

It was also concluded that the present general relief law is in- adequate and the $50 per month maximum which is now in effect must be removed and more ade- quate maximum be- fixed in order that the Department will be able to provide reasonable assistance to indigent people who are in need.
 Juvenile Code
 Emphasis was placed on the pres- ent Juvenile Code program and it was recognized that the law offers a great deal more protection to the child than the Territory has been able to afford under the pres ent appropriation If the Depart ment is to assume the responsibility the law requires it to, then it is necessary that a more adequate appropriation be made available
 Social Security Law
 A detailed discussion wes held on the effects the recent changes in the Social Security law would have on the welfare program in the Ter ritory. It was recognized the in- crease will have immediate effect on the Old Age Assistance and Aid to Dependent Children programs as the grants which those people are now receiving will be sub stantially increased.

quite a sight. If the maximum number of teams and members go to work on the windows right after school tomorrow, there will be 1O4 boys and girls soaping win dows in artistic and-or funny de- signs. (Six grades would be rep resented from both public and Par ish schools, two teams per class plus two high school teams. That would make 26 teams of four artists.
 Besides the copies of the rules available in classrooms, the contest regulations will be posted at each participating store. Merchants have asked that their names be with held until individual location as- signments are made tomorrow af- ternoon, so that all will have an equal start.
 AS soon as the soapsters are through drawing, they will go to the big Halloween party at the National Guard Armory. This, like the merchants art contest, is spon- sored by the Juneau Civil Air Pa- trol Squadron.
 Hundreds of children taking par ents, and parents taking children, probably will start for the party early. so as to see the window de- signs on the way.
 Miss Jacque Fisher, general chairman of the CAP celebration, says, 'If the children conduct themselves well, we hope to have another such contest next year. It's up to them, to leave window pictures as they are left by the artists, for the judging Wednes- day morning"
 The individual artists will be introduced and interviewed over the loud speaker at the party, which will be from to 9.30 pm. Tuesday.

20 FIRMS SPONSORING
 WINDOW ART CONTEST

With 90 Juneau merchants now participating in the city's first Hal lowe'en Art Contest, there will be more than 40 display windows for soap artists to work on tomorrow afternoon and early evening.
 It looks as though that many will be needed, for teams are being signed up fast in both the public and the Parish School Two teams of not more than four students are permitted to represent each class from the third to eighth grades, inclusive There also will be two high school teams of pupils of the required ages, which are from to IA.
 Young artists on the winning teams will get practice in matile- matics, for the cash prizes are team awards, and members must make their own distributions. First prize will be SIS; second, Sl0 and third $5.

POLICE CHIEF E5 10 GIVE AWAY CANDY AT CAP PARTY TUES.

Guess who will be on the prowl with the youngsters Halloween night?
 Police Chief Bernard Hulk-and not on duty, either. But he. won't forget his responsibilities.
 Bernie, as he is known to old and young alike, is on leave for a week, with Frank Cavanaugh as acting chief.
 Bernie already had made some plans; he borrowed Bill Willman's candy making machine and was going to invite Channel juniors to stop for a treat at the Police De- partment.
 Now the Chief has decided to add his treat to the big Civil Air Patrol Halloween party in the Ma tional Guard Armory. So there will be free pink cotton candy for ev- eryone who attends, from T to 9:3O o'clock. The Police Chief says curfew will be 10 o'clock as usual.
 I'm mighty proud of Juneau youngsters" Chief Hulk said to- day. We don't expect any property damage. There was no vandalism last year. I looked up the record, and we had only three calls last Hallowe 'en--none serious.
 If there is any trouble" the Chief added, it, will be by those who are old enough to know better
 The Chief of Police asks all boys and girls to make sure their bikes are equipped with lights, and to think first before they play a prank that might be harmful to themselves or others.
 NO accidents, please" he said We want everyone-and that means every single person-to have fun on Halloween"
 Mayor Waino E. Hendrickson plans to be a kid again for the evening, although he wouldn't say whether or not he will attend the party in disguise.
 Students of the Parcohial School have announced their plans to make the CAP party their celebration, soo, along with public school students, pre- and post scholars and other Channelites of every age who are young in heart.
 All parents will be welcome, &C., cording to Miss Jacque Fisher, gen. eral chairman, although the enter tainment features are planned pri- marily for the younger set
 Through the courtesy of the city authorities and the Fourth of July Committee, carnival equipment has been made available.
 CAP Squadron Commander Allan G. Marcum said today, Arrange ments have been changed so that no charge will be made for rides on the merry-go-round, but we reserve the right to limit the num- Der of rides by any one person.
 Those using rides will do so at their own risk"
 Other entertainment, such as movie shorts on aviation and car toons, will be free.
 The CAP Stinson L-5 aircraft will be on display. with pilot David R. Minard explaining how every thing works, and answering ques- tions.
 Working hard to make the party a success are members of the CAP Cadet Corps, a group of aviation minded boys and girls aged Is, 16 and IT.
 The party will offer an opportun- ity for persons to donate technical hooks, charts and maps to start the cadets circulating library. New and used books on flying, navigation, meteorology, communications, first aid and allied subjects will be glad ly received.
 Flight strips, maps and charts, even outdated ones, will be useful for study and for hypothetical problems.
 It is hoped, also, that the li- brary can subscribe to several avia- tion publications.

President Truman's top "ghost
writer" argues that he isn't a real
"ghost" at all.
Clark M. Clifford declared that
Mr.. Truman himself is the prin-
cipal architect of all presidential
addresses and messages.
The 43-year- -old special counsel
to the President has shouldered
the major burden of speech draft
ing at the White House, including
the assembling of the State-of-
the Union message Mr.. Truman
will deliver to Congress Wednes-
day.
But" he said, "the President
has never delivered a speech that
he has not gone over, line by line
and word by word in advance.
"And he outlines what he wants
to say in advance of even the pre-
liminary drafting of every talk"
Smiles at Court Opinion.
Mr.. Clifford smiled when re-
minded of a recent criticism of
"ghost writing" in an opinion by
Justice Jackson of the Supreme
Court. Justice jackson wrote:
Ghost writing has debased the
intellectual currency in circula-
tion and is type of counterfeit" :"
That kind Of ghost writing
doesn't occur at the White House,
Mr.. Clifford said.
Ghost writer or not, Mr.. Clifford
is fading from the White House
spotlight at the end of January
to enter the general practice of
law here.

ary /, and the President has
named Charles S. Murphy, now
an administrative assistant, to
succeed him. Mr.. Clifford helped
train Mr.. Murphy to take his
place.
Mr.. Clifford said the President
frequently lays the foundation for
an important address by penciling
on scratch paper the thoughts he
wants to get over to his audience.
Frequently, he will call Mr.. Cliff
ford into his Office, and talk for
two or three hours about what
he has in mind.
Give me your reaction" the
President will say, according to
Mr.. Clifford. Then they will talk
back and forth.
Three Phases Involved.
Maybe the President, maybe Mr..
Clifford, will hit upon a sentence
both will like. AS the conference
breaks up, Mr.. Clifford will be in
structed to bring in a memoran-
dunn embracing what they have
talked about.
"The Presidents speeches." Mr..
Clifford said, Involve three phases
Of preparation.
First, he sits and talks them out,
giving me and some times others
on the staff his own creative ideas
giving the basic policy he wants
to emphasize and the broad stroke
he wants to deliver.
Second, the Presidents ideas,
the penciled suggestions he makes
and any suggestions he accepts

Even then I take the speech

over it very carefully. line by line,

phraseology make it simpler, more
