for him. She started things off
with $1,000.
IT thought that $1,000 would be
ALL" Bob said.
. But several weeks later, a rep
resentative of the Kate Smith
show-one of Bob's favorite tele-
vision programs, incidentally -
came down and showed Bob what
appeared to be a five-pound box of
candy.
Checks Total $4,000.
II thought it was candy, until
it was opened. Inside there were
checks totaling SIS, Bob said.
With the Pennsylvania Legion
fund, the Kate Smith fund, and
the hundreds of individual contri-
buttons, Bob has about $120,000-
he thinks. It probably is more.
Most was raised by the Legion. All
of it has been banked except about
$4,000 which Bob still has here and
draws on a little bit at a time to
buy the few things he needs or to
help his mother.
When she needs money, she
writes a check and signs Bob's
name. He makes an "X" below it
using the temporary right arm
hook he will soon trade for per-
manent hooks and a pair of ar
tificial hands. He can then use
either system he wishes. Artificial
legs will come later, during the five
months he expects to spend at
Walter Reed, and still more
months at Veterans Administra-
ton hospital.
How are things now with Pfc.
Smith?
I'm feeling pretty good in every
way" Bob said. The television set
is out in the dayroom, where the
rest Of the amputees at the hos
|pital can watch it. Bob doesn't
care much for reading, but watches
the twice-a-week ward movies.
Sometimes things get a little
slow. Like from 6 to 8 o'clock at
night, when the fellows are out
getting air, or going to the PIX or
to a movie in another part of the
hospital.
Has a Future to Plan.
But Bob has q future to plan, a
lot of opportunities to choose
from.
He's pretty undecided right
now. Maybe he and his brother,
Howard, %, will go in business.
Maybe he'll take a run out west"
to look into that jewelry manu-
facture offer. Maybe he'll take
the Legion job. He's not sure.
But he wants to do something.
One thing he's pretty sure Of.
He's going to accept one of those
free 1ots-probably the one in a
good residential section nearest
Middleburg-and build house, to
get the family out of the frame
seven room, single bath rented
place in downtown Middleburg.
Il want a two story place." he
said. But maybe, with my legs,
I'll have to settle for a rambler.
Unless I can install an elevator. ="
I'm get a specially fitted car,
too," he said. "A Ford, or maybe
an Oldsmobile. No convertible.
But maybe white wall tires"
II Bob's money is invested in a
trust fund, income from it and
his veterans pension will bring
him about $3.50 a month. But he
wants to talk to a lawyer before
doing anything.
That's about the extent Of his
planning now-to make sure he
knows what he's doing before he
does it.
But one thing is certain. There's
a happy future ahead for Bob
Smith.

| CAMP DUNCAN, Bethany
Beach. Del, July 10.-Anti-air-
craft artillerymen of 1t. Col.
George V. Selwyn's 304th Gun
Battalion of the District National
Guard are itching for their first
experience at firing Comm shells
at plane-towed targets.
Col. Selwn says that he hopes
to give his personnel this oppor-
tunitS beginning Thursday, but
the guns and tractors which were
loaded on fiat cars in Washing
ton last Thursday have not ar
rived here yet.
But regular army PERSONAL
from Fort Meade, Md, reached
the post to instruct and appraise
the civilian troops.
There is hope the big guns will
arrive today Or tomorrow so that
they may be set up among the
sand dunes.
This group, the only one Of the
three AAA gun battalion which
has not yet been called into Fed
eral service, formerly was an au-
tomato weapons unit. Its training
at the Armory once a week since
its conversion has been largely
class instruction in its new field
and some gun drills with the big
weapons which were only recently
received.
Study Smaller Weapons.
| Both officers and men are in a
new field which, according to
them, is quite different from their
former service as a small weapons
organization. However, one of the
smaller weapons is assigned 20
each big gun to protect the firing
and serving personnel from STRAIT
ing runs cf enemy planes.
In the absence of the big guns
the time of the personnel has
been used in instruction on the
smaller weapons, some of which
have been found to have defective
mechanisms since they arrived in
camp. Efforts are being made to
correct these troubles before the
large equipment is set up for the
target practice.
Portable radar equipment nee
essary to the effective operations
of the COS is to be set up tomor-
row to be ready to begin firing on
Thursday. The organization had
hoped to be able to test it's gun
prowess using radio controlled
drone planes, instead Of the
plane-towed targets because of
the touch of realism that would
be provided at trying to shoot
down the highly maneuverable
craft which operate with the speed
of fighters.

 Need Warehouse Space
 Last summer special marine surveyor was employed by the Fish and Wildlife Service to study the possibilities for establishing the Service vessel fleet headquarters at Juneau. About the only defect Rhode said, was lack of adequate warehouse space for housing the small craft.
 Machine shop facilities in Ju- neau are far superior to those we have in Seattle and if the problem of warehouse space can be resolved there is a good chance the move of the fleet headquarters will be made" Rhode said.
 A minimum crew of between 20 and 30 men are employed for over hauling of vessels. A number of them are permanent crew members of the larger vessels. te
 Operations Time, Extended
 Rhode said that under its con- solidation here the Fish and Wild life Service is making more use of its vessels in the winter pro- gram. The season for winter fish, cries work is growing longer each year and the fur seal patrol is now almost year round operation.
 Moving the fleet headquarters and maintenance base from Seattle to Juneau would mean we could consolidate Alaska fisheries ves- sells with those operated in the AL aska game, predator and refuge programs" said Rhode. Tt would give us a consolidated vessel op- eration for the entire Service such as we have in our aircraft opera tion and greatly facilitate the Ser vice program in Alaska"

 He said the amendment was a joker" to stir up opposition to the bill, not to help Alaska.
 The new bill eliminates the pro- vision but does not mean there would be more reservations, Per atrovich added.
 "All it means is that if the Sec retary of Interior wishes he can have Natives vote on reservations proposals, deciding in demo- cratic way whether they want them Past elections have shown some Natives want them, others do not. But if Butler had his way the statehood bill would deadlock the matter. It could remain deadlocked for years"
 Peratrovich said that after the amendment was added to the old bill the Natives made efforts to have it removed.
 They opposed the amendment but still were strong for statehood" l." he declared.
