wave engulfed them and washed
the bosun overheard. Up went
the cry, Man overboard!" Then
another huge wave struck - and
deposited the bosun back on
+ board at almost the exact spot
where he had been working.
Diners in Style. A party of ten
derfoot campers near La Grande,
Ore, was outraged when pack
rats made off with a side of bacon
which had carefully been hung
out of their reach by suspending
it from a tree limb on a rope. The
rats simply chewed through the
rope. Next night the campers used
a metal wire to hang up their re-
manning provisions, and the rats
didn't touch them. Instead, they
stole a small frying pan, a couple
of tin plates and several knives
and forks.

Wash, man made a last trip to his
summer cottage in the mountains

ported the burglary to the sheriff's
office.
When he visited the place again
the following spring. he discovered
that it had been broken into once
more. This time the loot taken
was the kitchen sink.

tOrmanceS, however, can De

divorce he made a special request.
Your Honor" he pleaded,
there are just too many good

fix it so I'll be safe for just a
while?"
The court then ordered a special

years. ROBERT fROMM

Here are twice-tOld
tales. Take the case of
the robbery victim who
went home for his gun

NREE years ago WOOuSDOIo,
IL Md, farmer working in his
barn was struck by lightning and
survived. Last July he went out to
his barn again during thunder
storm, again took on a bolt of
lightning - and once again sur
vived.
Oddly enough, the experts say
that it may not be his last such ex-
perience. The modern thunderbolt
apparently is determined to dis
prove the old adage. And, follow
ing its example, other types of out
rageous repeat performances have
been cropping up all over the
place recently.
TaiOr's Worst Part. On his way
home from work one evening an
Atlanta, Ga, citizen was stopped
by two armed holdup men and re-
lieved of his watch and $50. As
soon as they released him, the
victim dashed home, got out his
shotgun and valiantly set forth in
search. In almost no time at all he
encountered another holdup man
who relieved him of the shot
gun.
Bird Brain. A Lewiston, Ida,
motorist heard a funny noise in
his engine and drove to a garage.
There a mechanic lifted the hood
- and a robin flew out. A week
later the same motorist drove back
to the same garage to have his gas
tank filled and his oil checked.
When the mechanic lifted the
hood to check the oil, he found a
robins nest complete with three
eggs.

was caught in a bad storm off
Boston, and the crew worked
desperately to batten down the

INDIAN RESERVATIONS

The Indian Reservation question, quiet for several months now, will no doubt get renewed attention as a result of civil suit filed in Ju- neau recently.
 The Interior Department is bringing the suit against Libby, McNeill and Libby. The government alleges damages because the com- pany operated a fish trap within the area of the Hydaburg Indian Reservation last year. It seeks to restrain the company from opera ting the trap this season.
 To the layman this appears very similar to the Karluk case, which was first brought in the Fourth Di- vision District Court and later went to the Court of Appeals at Sar Francisco. The courts denied the right of the Secretary of the In terior to grant exclusive fishing privileges in Alaskan waters below mean low tide line.
 The present case will no doubt go to the Court of Appeals anc

cision. Conversations that led up to it are his business"
 Short was asked if Bradley had consulted with Mir Truman as to whether he should answer questions senators put to him yesterday about the conversations. Bradley declined at the time to answer them.
 Short said he did not know whe- ther the President had talked with Bradley. He added:
 They appear to be in complete agreement, don't they?"
 Angry Argument
 In angry argument at the Senate Macarthur hearings a Republican suggested the White House was put ting an Iron Curtain" over wit nesses and got a. sharp denial from Gen. Bradley that there was one on him.
 It was climactic moment in a session that broke off questioning of Bradley
 Finally, Bradley was excused as a witness until next Monday and the senators recessed after agreeing to have vote at noon tomorrow on whether they should insist that Bradley testify about the conversa- tions with Mir Truman.
 Sharp Exchange
 Near the end, there was a sharp exchange between Senators Know land and Fulbright.
 Knowland was the Republican who made the Iron Curtain" re- mark. Fulbright said he hoped Knowland has not decided to sabo- tage and discredit the hearings sim ply because the evidence now being

DONKEY WAR

I DONKEY WAR
 Alaskans have long been famil- far with claim jumpers, fish pirates Land souabbles over whose dog Kill ed tbe neighbor's chickens. Now a new item has been added to this catalog of troubles-a fight over, of all things foreign to Alaska, a donkey.
 The donkey, bearing the perhaps not inappropriate name of Dammit, was acquired by man named Kit Carson who lives near ketchlkan,
 According to Sid Charles Ket- ch.kan News, Carson recently ap- peared before the U. s. Commits sioner to complain that neighbor Wesley Miller, had fired a shotgun blast at Dammit. M
 Carson's story was that he then approached Miller and was threat enad with the shotgun. Carson wrested the gun from Miller and Mrs. Miller hit Carson over the head with a rock. Carson's 121 year-old daughter picked up the gun and threw it in the bay. Then Carson threw Miller in the bay and ended the argument. That was Carson's story.
 Miller had a somewhat different taje Tn the first place, he said, he didn't shoot at the donkey. He shot into the air to scare the crit ter out of his garden.
 Miller said Carson didn't take the gun away from him. They both fell into the bay while they were wrestling over the gun. And Mrs. Miller didn't hit Carson with a rock She threw a rock from the shore but missed. Then she waded out in the water and hit Carson on the head with her fist "as any other loving wife would do." Mean while, Miller said, Carson's daugh- ter hit him in the back with a three or four pound rock.
 No doubt the donkey. Dammit, greatly enjoyed the entire spec tacle. He seems to have come out Of the fracas without so much as a scratch. Maybe he wasn't even scared.
 POWER SURVEYS
 For many years the United States Forest Service, on behalf of the Federal Power Commission, has been making surveys of water power resources in Southeast AL aska. The two agencies a few years ago published Water Powers of Southeast Alaska" a sizeable vol ume giving detailed information on 200 power sites.
 A couple of years ago the U. s Bureau of Reclamation entered the field. It has made some surveys and gone over much of the same ground covered previously by the Forest Service.
 Now comes the U. s. Corps oi Engineers, which reports that il will conduct surveys of water re- sources in Southeast Alaska as { part of comprehensive report or rivers, harbors, flood control ant power development for the entir, Territory"

presented does not support Gen. Macarthur.
 Knowland said he resented the suggestion very much, and added.
 T am not trying to sabotage this hearing" ,r
 Fulbright said Knowland was ex- tremely anxious to get the investi- gation underway and now he seems to be threatening to condemn the whole hearing as a whitewash."
 Drop "Iron Curtain
 Knowland had said Bradley's stand that his talks with Mir. Tru- man were confidential, not to be testified to, raised a question whe- ther the White House was dropping an Iron Curtain about witnesses
 Bradley, apparently looking on the issue as having political implications, told the senator he was neither a Democrat nor Republican and had never voted. He added:
 Now, the statement has been made here to the effect that an Iron Curtain has been pulled down over my testimony. l do not think it has, Chairman.
 T have only declined to answer one question on a confidential basis.
 T am perfectly willing, as I say, to give what I think is pertinent, and that is the conclusions reached at those conferences with the Presi- dent) and I am perfectly willing to tell you the reasons advanced by the three Chiefs of Staff when they gave their reasons Cfor MacArthurs dismissaD to General Marshall"
