CAN YOU HELP?
(The Alaska Liner

Here's an appeal for help in
contracting the family of Capt.
Johnny Dynamite" O'Brien, COL
erful early-day Alaska Line skip
per. Mrs. Oliver M. Powell Of
Seattle told us she was aboard the
Victoria bound for Nome some
time between 1925 and 1928. Capt.
O'Brien was master of the ship.
Mrs. Powell had planned to join
her husband, who owned the us.
Smelling, Refining & Mining Co.
at Nome.
A day and a half out from
Nome Capt O'Brien told Mrs.
Powell he had just learned that
her husband was aboard the SEN
ator southbound from Nome and
when the two ships passed at Uni
max Pass he would transfer her
to the Senator. The transfer be-
tween ships was made on a small
barge and pictures were taken.
Mrs. Powell has lost her set of
pictures and wishes to obtain a
duplicate set from Capt. O'Brien's
family. Other passengers on the
Victoria at the time were Mike
Samuells of Nome, Blanche
Prince, and A. J. Mueller, a Nome
jeWeler.
Anyone who can help Mrs.
Powell should contact her at 1908
West VieWmont Way.

Dynamiter Tries to Wreck
Cadillac of Candidate
For Ohio Senator

CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio, R-A
dynamiter tried to blow up Rep.
George H. Bender's 1916 Cadillac
early Saturday while the Repub-
lican candidate for Ohio senator
was asleep in this home.
Bender's wife, Edna, found a
seven-inch, half pound stick of
dynamite-broken in half but
otherwise intact-on the rear floor
of the car Saturday morning.
Only the decorator cap, said
police, had exploded, showering
the car with corrugated brown
paper used for wrapping the
bomb
About a month ago, Bender
conducted a House subcommittee
investigation here into purported
Cleveland labor racketeering, but
Bender said he did not know
whether the car incident was nee
essarily connected with the inves-.
tigation.

Wickersham Calls For
Increased Air Force Pay
Plus Fringe Benefits

WASHINGTON, R-Rep. Wick
ersham (D-Okla) said today Air
Force personnel pay should be
increased at least rs per cent and
fringe benefits restored.
"This would establish the Air
Force as a worthwhile career and
reduce the number of men leav-
/ ing the SERVICE" Wickersham said
a statement.
when that happens, we can
save billions of dollars alone by
reducing the size of the vast
training establishment we must
have to replace those who seek
discharge"

Newspapers Still
Leader Influencing
Public Opinion

LONDON, R-NeWspapers still
set the pace for creating and in
fluencing public opinion, DR..
Cyril Garbett, the archbishop OF
York, says.
The press, he says, leaves a
deeper impression than either ra-
dio Or television.
81 sometimes hear that the press
no longer has the influence il
once possessed" he recently told
the Royal Commission on the
Press. 81 am doubtful about this.
The written word makes a deeper
impression on the mind than what
is heard.
DR.. Garbett, Britain's second
ranking Anglican churchman, ex-
planned:
THE wireless Cradio) is listened
to by millions, but only a minority
are trained listeners who could
report accurately or give even an
ineligible account of what they
had heard only two hours previ-
ously.
What is printed makes far
deeper impression. The written
word which can be read and re-
read at leisure helps to form the
opinion of the more intelligent
citizens who will become leaders
in their locality or in the nation
and" he added, 81 am afraid
that too much television gazing
will leave only superficial and
fleeting impressions"

Britain's StrikingDockmen
End Paralyzing Stoppage
After 27-Day WalkOut

LONDON, R-Britaln's striking
dockmen voted Saturday to GO
back to work today and end the
paralyzing waterfront stoppage
which has brought this maritime
nations trade to virtual stand
still.
The 27-day-old walkout of 49,
600 men ended in compromise,
with the promise of final settle
ment to be hammered out within
a month.
Vic Marney, strike leader,
told mass meeting of lockers
outside London's idle Wharves:
eve have won a glorious victory"
The back-to- work vote was
taken at series of mass meetings
up and down the country. The
London men voted first to go
back. Within minutes the rest of
Britain's major ports followed
their example.
The London men agreed to re-
turn to work on condition that
overtime work should be on
voluntary basis and men who re-
fused to work overtime would not
be disciplined.

Sc Alaska TB Patients
To Get Treatment Soon
In Seattle Institutions

SEATTLE, R-Another group
of Alaskans will arrive here by
chartered plane within a few days
for treatment for tuberculosis.
Sixty-eight patients, most of
them Eskimos and a few Indians,
are already undergoing such
treatment in two Seattle institu-
tons.
A total of 200 will receive the
treatment under contract signed
by the Washington State Health
Department and private hospitals
with the Alaska Native Service.
An appropriation of $1,700,000 by
Congress last summer is financing
the work.

Cork Native of Spain

Cork is the thick, soft, porous
outer bark of the cork oak, which
is an evergreen tree of the oak
family native to Portugal, Spain,
North Africa and most other
countries bordering on the Medi.
terranean. The cork of COM
merce is not the true bark of the
cork oak through which the sap
circulates, but a layer of spongy,
elastic, tough and impervious cell
lular tissue that forms outside
the true bark. If the true or in
ner bark of the cork oak is dam
aged, the tree will die; but the
outer layer of cork, which is
light because composed of the
walls of dead cells filled with air,
may be removed.

However, the S55.000,000 raised
will carry the program through
1854. I'VE now are entering the
evaluation phase of the vaccine
trials. Surely no American would
be a party to slowing this hope
full venture because m on ey is
needed to care for patients. And
who could sanction cutting down
on patient aid in a year that al
ready gives signs of heavy polio
incidence? II know the American
public does not want to see the
vital program it has supported
through 16 March of Dimes drives
jeopardized in this year of chal-
lenge. I feel certain they viii sup
port the Emergency M arc h of
Dimes, to make sure that the
prevention program, rehabilitation
and aid for patients. research and
professional education CO n tinue
for as long as necessary"
Number New Cases Large
Mr.. O'Connor explained tn a t
$26, 100000 was needed for the
vaccine and GG programs alone,
plus $4,000, 900 for patient aid if
1854 polio incidence is comparable
to 1858, when almost $4,000
cases were reported. There are
signs, however, that 1854 may be
an even heavier incidence year.
The number Of new cases report
ed by the us. Public Health Ser
vice during the first % weeks of
this year is the largest reported
for any similar period in recorded
history, ne said. In a d di I'll o n,
there are $1,000 holdover cases
from previous years, who still re-
quire help from the Nati o ma !
Foundation and its Chapters. Be-
yond all these costs, another S19,-
100000 is needed for continued
research into polio prevention and
treatmet, for professional educa-
ton, for medical and community
services and for administration.
Must Not Fail
Mr.. O'Connor expressed graft
tude to the millions of volunteers
who raised the $4,000, 900 in
January, and to the $4,000, 900
Americans who .contri bu t e
when they realize that more
money is needed to insure CON-
pletion of the vaccine evaluation,
provision of gam m globulin,
medical care and research and for
the care and rehabilitation of
thousands of current and future
polio patients, they will want tc

any of these obligations. If every

POLIO-FIGHT
FUNDS NEEDED
An Emergency March of
Dimes Scheduled for
August 16 Thru 81
s75,OOO,OOO NEEDED

Americans contributed nearly
SIS, ,o00,0 to the March of
Dimes last January-more than
in any previous year-yet the
sum fell short by S20,0O0,000 of
meeting the current years needs,
Basil O'Connor, president of the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis, reported today. AS a
result, he said, it will be neces-
sary to seek the additions a
amount through an Emergency
March Of Dim e scheduled for
August 16 through 81. The deci-
sion to hold the emergency appeal
for polio-fighting funds was made
late last week at a meeting of
the National Foundations Board
of Trustees, he disclosed. This
year." Mr.. o'Connor said, "con-
fronts us with the greatest chal-
lenge of any in the history of the
fight against polio, with commit
ments for Polio Prevention
Program of staggering size and
the necessity of providing aid to
a record number of polio patti
ents.'
S75,O00,0OO Needed
Mr.. O'Connor said estimates
last fall were that $4,000, 900
would be needed to finance the
polio vaccine trials, the purchase
of increased quantities of gamma
gioubulin, the search for improv-
ed preventive and treatment tech
niques, the support of profession
al education, and the provision Of
financial assistance for polio pa
TENTS who need it. ".This is still
a very realistic figure in terms
of our obligations and commit
ments," Mr.. O'Connor explained.
"It was certainly not because of
any lack of effort by our volun-
teers that we failed to meet it.
March of Dimes workers did a
remarkable job. r ipt s went
ahead more than 61a per cent.

munity, among your own neigh
bors. there may be such a case.
For them the promise of polio
vaccine is too late. They, and
thousands of others who are seri-
ously disabled, depend upon their
fellow Americans generosity even
while rapid progress is being
made toward final polio preven-
ton"

TOO ZIG A HURRY

We are kindly asking the local
presidents TO please take time off
and read the application blanks be-
fore filling them out. We have one
form that is used for new members
only, one kind for duplicate policies.
one kind for renewals for the cur
rent Quarter and another kind for
back renewals. By Back" we mean
members who have been out of the
Association ninety days and more.
1t is really expensive to have to
write two and three times to a local
president about matter that could
have De adjusted in the first
place, had the president taken time
to read the blank before filling it
out, think the proper thing to do
is to have a few of each kind of ap-
plication blanks on hand.
1t is nothing new to fill out re-
newal blanks for members who fail
to pay on or before the date of the
Board, but we have some presidents
who invariably send in the names of
the applicants and the money and
when we send the blanks back to
them to fill out, they will not return
them I am sure if some of the local
presidents knew the tremendous a.
mount of unnecessary work that
some of them cause us in the office
that they would stop right now and
make a New Years Resolution to do
better in 1854.
Some of you complain about the
trouble you have with your mem-l
bers, but you have not seen anything
yet. If you were to work one day
in the office, you would become a.

dent, Mr. G. D. Cotton, who assisted

you are in so big hurry to do what

time and especially so when filling
out your report blanks. If you were
to have your Secretary or someone

IMPORTANT NOTICE
TO PRESIDENTS
Dear Presidents

This article is Intended to assist
you in keeping your local records
up to par in order that you will not
be embarrassed at some future date.
For the past fifteen years or more
It has been the policy of the office
to write you shortly after the close
Of the Quarterly Board informing
you as to the members of your lodge
who failed to pay that particular
quarterly assessment.
We find that some of the local
secretaries fail to put all of the mem
bers names on the report blank.
thereby causing errors to be made.
1t is the duty of the local presi-
dent to have the secretary of the
local lodge to put all of the mem
becs' names on the report blank as
soon as it is received from the office
and as the members pay, check them
up When the president gets ready
to leave TO rthe Board, if he has
members who failed to pay before
his report blank was mailed, he
should have all Of those names on
his supplementary report blank and
make that report the day Of the
board IF this is done. it helps the
