IN APPRECIATION

The Empire is proud that the late John w Troy, it's publisher for many years, has been honored by the Board on Geographic Names and mountain peak has been named for him.
 On Douglas Island, almost above the Douglas Bridge is the peak-"a nice little mountain is the way it has been described d--that is now Mt. Troy.
 For their consideration thank Dr. Meredith F. Barrill, Executive Secretary of the Board on Geo. graphic Names E. L. Kethahn, Executive Secretary of the Advisory Committee on Names in Alaska, and B. Frank Hentzleman, regional forester whose idea we believe, of Mt. Troy resulted in the naming of the peak
 The ceremony week ago which named the mountain planned by MT. Keithahn, Dr. l. J. Montgomery, local mountaineer, and Charles Burdick the Forest Service. For their part in procaimng the honor accorded its publisher the Empire thanks these men, the Rev. H. E. Beyers who spoke during the ceremony, the club members who climbed to the top of Mt Troy; also Alaska Coastal Airline managers Alex Holden and Shell Simmons who arranged sched- ules so of the companys planes could fly over the peak to drop a wreath the climax to the dedication.

As a result, the Army now has corner on 300,- 000 young men, while the Air Force is running short of recruits. So Anna Rosenberg, the Assistant Sec retary of Defense in charge of man. power, has ordered the Army to release its priority on. the 100000 Idraftees for 30 days, and give the Air Force a crack at recruiting them.

 5. Ike has no political organ ization, and no one is author ized to say he is Eisenhower's pol itical agent
 1. As of today, Ike has enough COP delegate votes to make an impressive response on the first Iol call-upwards of 150 votes.
 AS is well known, the President and Eisenhower are warm friends, and Truman feels grateful to Ike fer many reasons. Mutual friends who have talked to Truman, there fore, believe he has made no de- cision about running. He has told clo3e friends he will do whatever he thinks will contribute most to world peace. Personally the Pres- iCenf does not want to run, and Mrs. Truman is adamantly opposed. Ii the COP would nominate Tatt and write an isolationist platform, Truman might well nominate Els enhoWer.
 The President would definitely oprose Sen. Paul Douglas of Illin- ois. who, for some strange quirk, he does not like. If neither he nor Ike are the Democratic candidat- es. then the President would prob ably try to draft Chief Justice Ninson.

OF Pension Boost Bill
BY 31S-to-45 Vote
Measure Aids Veterans
Needing Attendants for
Non-Service Disability
BY the Associoted Press

The House today passed over
President Truman's veto a bill
providing $120 monthly pensions
to certain veterans disabled from
causes not connected with their
military service.
The vote was 318 to AS. which
was rs more than the two-thirds
margin required to override veto
The Senate has not acted on the
veto.
The bill applies only to veteran:
whose condition requires that the!
have the services of an attendant
The present pensions for these vet
Grams range from $50 to 81:
monthly.
/ The President vetoed the bill
on August Z after it cleared both
| the Senate and the House without
opposition.
The bill provides that veterans
of World Wars I and II and OF
the Korean fighting shall be paid
S120 month if they are so dis
abled as to require full time aid
from another person.
Single veterans with annual in
come of $1,000 or more and mar
ried veterans with income of $4,000
or more are not eligible.
In Vetoing the bill. the President
emphasized that it does not affect
veterans with disabilities incurred
in service But, he said, it would
"aggravate an already existing
disparity in the Governments S
treatment of non-veterans and
veterans whose disabilities are in
no way connected with military
service"
Veterans legislation, the Presi-
dent said, should be limited to
meeting problems resulting di-
rectly from military service. The
other needs of veterans, he in
sisted, should be met through
comprehensive programs for vet
Grams and non-veterans alike"
