A TERRIBLE thing has happened in our family.

banker Of course I'm goin' to stick by him. Blood

Wayne amt no ce-presdent or cashier. He is
Chairman of the Board of a brand-new bank. They
had his name in the paper. Didn't even try to
keep it secret. His wife is speakin' an smilin'
to people just if nothin' had happened.
In way it wasn't his fault. He sort of drifted
into bad company, the way the deliriums sneak up
on fellow who thinks he has got the bottle under
control. been watchn' it.
noticed last huntin' season Wayne would count
his quail over tViee, the way the teller does your
money when he cashes your check. But didn't
think much about it then
WHEN look back at it now, | remember some
other changes that ought to have warned me he
was slippin Wayne has been shown signs of
respectability.
He's on the school board, for one thing. An one
night when we come in from huntin', there's the
mayor right in Waynes livn' room. Wayne don't

mayor is or Forest Sears an me an Wayne went
to grammar school with him, so we know that
inside Forest amt stuffy. That's just his corner

l see signs of shrewdness showin' up in
Wayne, too. When Mayor Sears asks where
we got our birds, l almost out an told him.
"Oh," Wayne says, puffin' out his cheeks an

That kind of tipped me off to the condition poor

COP Happy Over British Election

WASHINGTON, (P) - Republi- cans saw their party's stock rising Saturday on the strength of con- servative party gains in the Bri- tish elections. Administra | n Democrats called the rise imagin- ary.
 Republicans generally felt that the narrow margin of the British Labor party's victory reflects a swing to the right in the western world that may help elect COP candidates for the Senate and the House in November.
 Rep. Halleck R.-IndD was the most optimistic. He predicted that the Republicans will again regain control of Congress this year.
 ''The awakening of the British people to the dangers of socialism is being accompanied by similar awakening in this country" Hal lack declared.
 Senator Taft R.-OhiO) said he has no doubt that the British re- suits will be reflected in this country's voting.
 Rep. ArendS (R.-Ill0 agreed, calling the comeback of British Conservatism "a forerunner of what's going to happen here"
 But administration leaders in Congress said the British results don't mean anything so far as American politics is concerned.

Macarthur Has
 Unified Power If Emergency Arises

WASHINGTON, CP)-The mili- tary high command has announc- ed it has given Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur authority to assume con trol of American naval forces in Japanese waters in event of emergency.
 This unification move was made known as a news conference held by the joint chiefs of staff when they returned from a lO-day tour of inspection of Pacific bases.
 It was also announced that they have submitted a "top secret pa per" to President Truman on the effects on American security of the communist advance in Asia.
 Gen. Omar Bradley, chairman of the joint chiefs, was asked whether communism could be stopped at the borders of China with American aid. He replied this was primarily a state depart ment decision and then volunteer ed the statement that the top Se- cret report has been submitted.
 Admiral Forrest P. Sherman, the chief of naval operations, said there is no evidence that Russia since the war has increased the percentage of it's total naval forces which is maintained in the PaCif- ic.
 ''It is our plan to keep the Pa cific fleet as strong as we can within the total forces we have '' Sherman said. "As you know, we have made minor adjustments in that direction"
 In response to questions, Sher- man also said he believes that American naval forces in the western Pacific are equipped and deployed to cope with any threat from Soviet Russian submarine strength.

Chief "Stumper'' May Try To Save Fair Deal Program
(BY Ernest B. Vaccaro)

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman may try to rescue his Fair Deal' program by a pre-ad- journment stumping tour aimed at bringing voter pressure on Con gross.
 The President himself gave i'm petus to such speculation by dis closing that he is considering a spring trip to the northwest com plete with "whistle stops" going and coming back.
 The trip under consideration would have for it's avOWed pur- pose participation in the dedica- ton of the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington State.
 The President told his news conference that he had been in Vited and was considering mak- ing the trip. If he went, he said, there probably would be some whistle stops going and coming.
 In view of his previously an nounced decision to stay out of Democratic primaries except in his own state of Missouri, the President likely would concen- trate on opponents of his legisla- tive program, especially Republi- cans, but leave enough implica- tions to whip some Democratic re- calcitrantS in line.
 Republicans generally viewed the spring tour as a part of Tru- man campaign to get his sort of Democrat elected to Congress Presidents Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt both made some ef- forts in that direction, and Sena- tor Brewster R-Me0 said he did not believe MT. Truman could succeed where those two failed.

 first deadline, Staples pointed out, virtually all states and territories anXiOusly sought to get under the wire by urging commitment of their pending Title sos applica- tions. Because applications in pro cess exceeded the available insur- ance authorization by almost four to one, disappointment was inevi- table for many. Alaska, in re- ceiving one hundred percent com mitment of all applications, real ized more favorable treatment than perhaps any other jurisdic- tion," Staples stated.
 MT. Staples paid tribute to the effective assistance of Governor Gruening and Delegate E. L. Bart lett in bringing the matter to a successful conclusion. He express ed appreciation as well for the eff forts of Raymond M. Foley, ad- ministrator of housing and home finance, Franklin D. Richards, commissioner of federal housing, and M. J. Cassidy, zone commits sioner for Alaska. But for their recognition of Alaska'S problem, as voiced repeatedly by Delegate Bartlett and Governor Greuning, we could not have received one hundred per cent commitment of our applications in so competitive a situation" MT. Staples declared.
 With respect to prospective ap- plicants who were unable to file applications under Title sos, Mir. Staples noted that section POT of the National Housing Act is now in process of amendment to re- place sos. While it is unlikely that action in this respect will accur in time for utilization in 1850, there seems every assurance FILA insurance provisions comparable to sos will be available to private builders against next year.

Care of Natives
 Assumed by Dr. Ham; Hygiene Transferred

Calling here recently on what is expected to be her last trip to Valdez, the Motorship Hygiene, operated by the territorial depart ment of health, took aboard Dr. Kenneth Ham to visit the native village of Tatilek on Prince Will liam Sound. The Hygiene is to be transferred to medical duty in southeastern Alaskan waters and Dr. Ham will assume medical care of the native villages on the Prince William Sound.
 z The recent trip was made to acquaint Dr. Ham with the medic al needs of village residents.
 This change in medical service is expected to effect a consider able saving for the department of public health, and to provide more frequent medical contacts with the natives. The Hygiene has proved expensive to operate and has not been able to call at the Sounds scattered villages, more often than once each year. pr. Ham hopes to make calls at the villages once each month.
 The doctor said this week that his plans for the service to be of fered still are being formulated. However he is considering the purchase of boat for his travels along the shores of Prince William Sound. .....-.
 Dr. Ham plans his next trip to Tatilek for the weekend of Sept. 29, when he will complete the inn munization series for the villag- CTS.
