turbed by what they say or write

Not Comparing Self
Starting with George Washing
ton, Mr.. Truman said "the Presi-
dents of the United States who
have apparently had the most
trouble and who have been most
viciously attacked in the public
prints are those whom we class
as the great Presidents"
He also mentioned Abraham
Lincoln, Grover Cleveland and
Woodrow Wilson as Presidents
who were misrepresented and mis-
treated, but he made it clear he
was not comparing himself with
them.
you should go down to the
Library of Congress some time
and get out the papers in New
York and New Orleans and other
places all over the country and
read the things that were said
about George Washington" Mr..
Truman told his fellow Democrats.
Jackson Didn't Care"
"They were terrific and terrible.
The same thing was said about

PETERSBURG MAN
 NOT IMPRESSED
 BY CITY, SEATTLE

Just like Juneau, only bigger"
 With these words, Cpl. William A. Anderson, Jr., son of MT. and Mrs. William A. Anderson of Petersburg, summed up his first impression of Seattle after reporting for duty with the Alaska Communication System in the Federal Building.
 Born in Petersburg in 1928, Cpl. Anderson's arrival in Seattle marked 5he first time he had been out q the territory. He enlisted in the Army in 1948 and was assigned to the Alaska Communication System after receiving his basic training at Kodiak. Then followed service at Juneau and at Adak.
 Cpl. Anderson was not too im- pressed with Seattle's 42-story Smith Tower, either. He explained that Juneau had few tall buildings too. For instance, a new 12 story apart ment is being constructed here.
 Not only that" said young An derson, Juneau has the Baranof Hotel, which is a tall building too AS for office buildings, well the Goldstein Building is five stories high, and that's big in our town" Anderson's only complaint about his early experiences in Seattle was that his feet we're getting sore from so much walking up and down hills He did venture a mild complaint, too, about Seattle's night life-it's not very exciting he declared after visiting several places.
 The young Alaskan expects 50 day furlough to be forthcoming which will permit him to take an extended sightseeing trip around the states before returning to duty in Seattle. He intends to visit Cali fornia and then go as far east as time and money allows.
 Cpl. Anderson is a graduate o1 Petersburg High School where he was active in the school band. The elder Anderson is a well known engineer of many years resi- dence in Petersburg.

Republican, hit the ceiling when
he came across an item of $765

S765 worth of furniture per nurse.
Taber noted that the furniture for
a bachelor officers room was
listed at $40. And he wanted to
know why the nurses should get
seven times as much furniture, or
seven times as nice.
An Army spokesman cleared
his throat politely and said there
is shortage of nurses. The Sur

enough nurses unless we make
things attractive for the girls. But
the army still insists that it is not
