SILVER MEDAL FOR
 0'C0NNcR H0N0RS
 LONG FWS SERVICE

Jack O'Connor was honored by the Interior Department with a presentation of citation and silver medal for meritorious service here yesterday.
 Clarence J. Rhode. regional di- rector of the Fish and Wildlife Service, made the award in the pre- sence of FWS employees at the Federal building. In his informal speech Rhode recalled how O'Con- nor got him into the service four teen years ago. broke him in, and told of some of the game law en- forcement cases they had worked on together.
 O'Connor retired from the depart ment last June after l9 years serv- ice. The citation, dated Dec. 16 l949, and signed by Oscar L. Chap man, Secretary of the Interior, reads.
 "O'Connor's first connection with the Department was in 1918 when he served as temporary fisheries warden in Alaska for few months. It was not until July l, 1880, that he started on a period of continuous employment with the Fish and Wildlife Service as an Alaska game warden with the Alaska Game Con- mission, now an integral part of this service, and at the time of his retirement on June 30. 1949, he was serving as a law enforcement agent.
 "As senior officer of the services enforcement group in Alaska, O'Connor trained many agents, and was probably the most widely known employee in that region. Through out his career. his job was always first, and he made many personal sacrifices and even refused to take earned leave in order to carry on the almost monumental task of en- forcing regulations in areas several times as large as most of the states. "As pioneer in the conservation movement, he found it necessary to travel great distances by foot ano by dogsled under Arctic conditions When airplanes began to take thf place of dogteam transportation fol enforcement activities, he was ont of the first to proclaim their advan- tages and has flown thousands ol miles over the Territory in pur- suance of his duties.
 He never questioned or refused an assignment, regardless of the difficulties it presented or the per sonal risks it involved. In spite ol the nature of his law enforcement duties, O'Connor held the respect and won the cooperation of hunt CTS, trarpers, and the general popu- lation of Alaska. For his outstand- ing work in the field of conservation law enforcement in Alaska, he is highly deserving of the Meritoriou' Service Award of the Department. O'Connor is a resident of Juneau and president of the Territorial Sportsmen, Inc.

"MUMpS TEAM" ENDS
 SECOND YEARS WORK

The second year of ''one shot for life" humps vaccine experimented with in Southeast Alaska communi- ties was completed today, as Phil adelphia doctor and bacteriologist ook off for home to survey their findings.
 The humps team" have been here several months, conducting ex- periments with their new spray vaccine" which is hoped to give life long immunity. Isolated Alaskan towns were chosen for the trials be- cause perfect control may be had for medical purposes.
 Dr. Winslow J. Bashe, Jr., and George R. Hunt, Jr., bacteriologist, spent their last few days in Alaska at the Mt. Edgecumbe Hospital for some last-minute laboratory work before leaving for the east.
 Their surveys were made with the cooperation of the Alaska Depart nent of Health and the Alaska Ma tive Service.
 Vaccine being tried out is a spray type rather than the vaccination type used for years.
 Tn one test begun last year, stu lents of Sheldon-Jackson School in Sitka who had been spray-vacc1- hated did not have one case oi humps, even while the city itself en- dured one of the worst epidemics ot the disease known to ay Alaskan community.
 Of 25 new students admitted who had not been previously vaccinated s percent contracted the disease
 Final laboratory work must be completed before any accurate esti- mate can be made if the new spray will guarantee lifelong immunity.

Strictly from Morningslde, last nights nitwit nonsense-called bas- ketball-had the customers rolling on the benches.
 Rolling on the floor was routine for the players. of whom as many as 25 were in action at one time For a while, it was considered sissy to have only one team apiece in the game.
 The electric scoreboard in the High School Gymnasium registered time and points for the zaniest basketball in history.

 After deducting minor expenses and setting aside $108 for Uncle Sam, the Rotary-Lion fray netted $40 in cash which was turned over to one of the star performers, Dr. James c. Ryan, member of the three-man Library committee. Each club was credited with half that amount.

Truman and Small Business


 While President Truman talks big about being the friend of small business, the record doesn't entirely bear him out. Here are important spots in the record which make big business happy:
 1-Democratic leaders are sit- ting on the Senate Small Business Committee. This committee was authorized one month ago, but no members have been named to get it going.
 2-Big business gets an increas- ing number of orders from the National Defense Department. Dur ing the war, orders to big business were justified on the ground of speed and emergency. But since
