Road Commission Continues Care
 Of Palmer Streets

The Alaska Road commission. realizing the problems confront ing a newly incorporated city. will continue to maintain the roads through the city of Palmer for the remainder of the summer season."
 That is the assurance. backed up by daily performance, ad- dressed to Mayor Carl H. Mier by A. F. Ghiglione, chief engineer of the road commission.
 Temporarily, it relieves one of the many worries of the new and first city council on street main tenance.
 Ghiglione's letter continues; "This will enable you to acquire necessary equipment to perform this work. Your attention is par tlcularly invited to winter main tenance in order that you will be prepared to undertake the type of work this winter. Problems. of snow removal are sometimes quite within the area of the city of Palmer"
 Streets Graded
 Meanwhile, Palmer's main street has been levelled and dragged. Road commission equip ment has changed it from deep ruts and wallows into as smooth a gravelled roadway as can be found short of black-topped or concreted highway. Machines

Alaska Steamship Rate Increases
 Held Up By Board

Rate increases sought by the Alaska Steamship company have been suspended by the Federal Maritime Board subject to a pub lie hearing.
 Increased rates scheduled to go into effect between May 21 and June l would have affected all parts of Alaska and such com modities as ore and concentrates. fisheries products and livestock. Passenger rates to both south eastern and southwestern Alaska also would have gone up.
 The Alaska Steamship Co. said increased costs and union de- mands for higher wages made the up in rates necessary, and indi' cated passenger rates during win ter months would not be in- creased.
 Analysis of the tariff filed with the Federal Maritime Board showed increases ranging from 20 to B 1-3 percent on groceries and from 19 to A percent on general merchandise.
 The board in it's order held that rates and fares may be unjust or unreasonable to the detriment of the shipping public"
 While no date has been set for the hearing the board deferred six tariffs containing the in- creases until September 2l unless otherwise ordered by the board.

Reads News Of Her Death
BY the Associated Press

FREEPORT, N. Y, Aug. A.
Funeral arrangements, messages
of sympathy, and an obituary
went for naught today when rela-
tives learned they had mistakenly
identified a hit-run victim as their
wife and mother.
The obituary was read by the
supposed corpse, Mrs. Elizabeth
O'Brien, in a paper as she lay re-
covering from minor injuries in
Meadowbrook Hospital.
She had been missing since
Wednesday when, she said, she
was hurt in an automobile acci-
dent.
Her husband, Thomas O'Brien,
her son. Corpl. William O'Brien,
and son-in-law, Daniel June, went
to Kings County morgue yester-
day and identified the body of a
woman who fitted Mrs. O'Brien's
description.
The doctor who was filling out
the death certificate today re-
ferred to the woman's natural
teeth.
MY wife had false teeth" Mr..
O'Brien exclaimed.
Meanwhile, Mrs. O'Brien read
her own obituary. and informed
police of the mistake.
The dead woman remains un-
identified.

BOMBAY, India, Aug. 4.-The
Tucson Victory arrived from the
United States today with the first
shipload of American wheat
granted India to stave off famine.
1t carried 9,450 tons of grain, a
small fraction of the 2 million
tons approved by Congress in
June.
The Tucson Victory sailed from
Galveston, Tex, % days ago. AL
though it reached here first, that
honor had been reserved originally
for another Liberty ship. the John
Chester Kendall, which collided
with a Danish ship in the Suez
Canal and pulled up for repairs.
Indian officials said they expect
the steady flow of wheat to reach
5000 tons a month. the most
their ports can handle.
The Tucson Victory will dock
Monday and a formal ceremony
marking the coming Of the first
fooG G-loan wheat is set for Tuesday.

Pentagon. II never for a minute

to pen little bit of Communist
propaganda. but he did so with
the, knowledge that his wife would
realize it was a lot Of malarkey
and she did.
Here I am at last with a little
line for you," wrote the rough and
ready sergeant, veteran of 13 years
Army service.

Sergt. Briere, evidently at the
behest of his captors, wrote what
almost sounds like a postscript toI
be sure his letter got home.
II don't see any sense in this
war;" he wrote, "for I think the
United States is butting its nose
into something that they have no
business in"
He added that he hoped the
people of the United States would
see the futility of expecting vic
tory in Korea and would end the
fighting so he could come home
soon.
Il wonder what they did to
him to make him write that" said
his wife.
Sergt. Briere and his wife have
been married since 1916. They
came to Washington in l947 when
ne was assigned to Fort Belyoir.
