Navy Saves Dead Hero From Burial In POtter's Field

NEW YORK R-The Navy will provide full military honors and burial in a national cemetery for a Medal of Honor winner whose body lay unclaimed in a Brook lyn morgue for four days.
 The body of William GoWan, 72, was headed for Potter's Field until the Navy stepped in yester- day. Arrangements will be made for his interment in PinelaWn, N.Y., National Cemetery.
 Mrs. Ella Wickwire, Gowan's sister and only close surviving relative, was located yesterday in Connecticut. She gave the Navy permission to bury her brother.
 GoWan was one of the few men to win the Medal of Honor in peacetime. The nations highest decoration was presented to him by President William Howard Taft in 1909 for heroism in rescu- ing shipmates after a fire and explosion on a Navy vessel
 Gowan retired from the Navy in 1922 and went to work for Brooklyn ropemaking firm. He suffered a fatal heart attack on the job last Wednesday.

Senate Consideration of Statehood
 Bills Not Likely At This Session
 Saws Chairman of Territories Com.

nerleS.
 Alaskans, contending they have merely been trying to protect themselves from outside exploita- ton, have argued when such a proposal arose in the past it would duplicate anti-discrimina- tion guarantees already provided in the constitution.
 Jackson, whose Washington fishermen are among those fishing in Alaska's offshore waters, said he has no intention personally of proposing inclusion in the Senate bill of the amendment written in by the House subcommittee to delay 6 transfer of fish and wild life resources to the new state for five years after it's admission. He said he could not rule out, how ever, its offer by any other mem Der of the Senate body.
 The Washington senator said he believed approval of both the Alaska and Hawaii bills by the full committee would be little more than formality.
 Asked whether he would push for consideration of either or both proposals by the Senate this year, he said that would be a matter for Senate leadership to deter mine.
 He expressed the personal op- inion, however, that the best chance for admission of the two states would be for the House to pass the separate bills this year, and have them ready to be brought before the Senate in the early part of next years, session.
 Under such conditions, it would be expected that the Senate would have little other business before it, and could give the statehood bills whatever time might be required.

Dawson Awaits End Flood Crest, But With Dikes

DAWSON, VT, R-The 900 residents of this historic gold-rush town waited today for the second flood crest in the Yukon and Klondike Rivers. But this time, there will be dikes.
 Taking advantage of a slight drop in River levels, residents worked continuously for 36 week end hours to line the river banks with 14,0OO sandbags. They also piled up old gold-dredge tailings.
 It was not known exactly when the next flood crest would reach Dawson, where the Yukon and Klondike Rivers meet, but it was sure to be a big one
 Families in the lower sections of Dawson were forced from their homes by the first crest last week Essential equipment was moved from St. Mary's Hospital to an unused residence out of the flood threat zone.
 Army engineers reported the situation to be as serious at Mayo Landing, 100 miles southeast of Dawson, where the Stewart River, which flows into the Yukon, was backing up into the settlement.
 Meanwhile at Dawson there was no shortage of sandbags. Ap- proximately 23,5OO were flown here Friday by the RCAF and Canadian Pacific Airlines and army trucks brought 50,000 over the Alaska Highway from Vain wright.
 In the dike-building struggle, children as young as eight years old were credited with taking a major part. "These kids have been great" said Dawson's Mayor Comandinas. We couldn't have done it without them"

WASHINGTON, (R-The head of the Senate Territories subcom- mittee said Saturday he hopes to hand both the Alaska and Hawaii statehood bills to the full Insular Affairs Committee within the next two weeks.
 The subcommittee held hear i2gs on the two bills in March but has taken no action on either proposal since
 Its chairman, Sen. Jackson D- Wash), said he has been waiting for response from the Interior Department to several requests voiced at the earlier sessions.
 One of these, for which he said he still is waiting, was for the department to prepare an amend ment prohibiting either of the proposed states from discriminat- ing against nonresident individ- uals or businesses.
 He said the proposal is aimed principally at Alaska, where the territorial legislature has ire quently been accused of seeking to impose taxes and licenses all legedly discriminatory against non-Alaskan fishermen and can

Japanese Boys Tongue
 Sticks in Water Fountain

 Shigeyoshi Kawashima got his tongue stuck in the faucet when he tried to suck a drink from a public fountain.
 After the rescue crews had un- fastened the faucet and sent the boy to a doctor, water works official explained that the water pressure sometimes causes a sue tion when the tap is turned on. To be on the safe side, you have to wait for the water to spout out, and Shigeyoshi didn't wait.

Three Walrus Pups, Ceorgie, Carrol And Wyman, On Way To New Home In N. Y. Aquarium At Coney Island

Three baby Walrus are enroute to the New York Aquarium with Wyman Carol, big game and un- usual game hunter, babysitting enroute.
 Prior to taking the baby walrus into captivity Carol, assisted by Dr. Francis Fay of Arctic Re- search, milked a walrus COW and analysed the contents, determin- ing that it contained 43 percent butterfat. The three week old WalruS, who had not been weaned when captured, are being fed by bottle on a formula of canned milk, mixed with 40 percent Ma zola oil and five percent cod liver oil and are apparently thriving on the mixture.
 They weighed about 15O pounds when taken and they will prob ably double their weight by the time they reach New York, Car rol said.
 Roy Rogers, the cowboy star, stated Carol, will help him lasso a pair of baby belugas at Bristol

 During appearances before the rackets group, Beck refused to answer questions about his finan- cial dealings. He invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 200 times, saying his answers might tend to incriminate him.
 Previously, Beck had insisted he would seek reelection. It had been reported he hoped to win such a vote of confidence, then to resign and step out of teamster affairs.
 Beck is under federal indict- ment on charges he evaded some of his 1850 income taxes. The AFL-CIO has dropped him from two high posts with the labor fed eration on grounds he brought the labor movement into disrepute.

 The baby belugas are expected to weigh about 2,0OO pounds each and measure about IA feet in length.
 The baby Walrus, two females and a male, have been named Georgie and Carol, and the male answered to Wyman. During their stay in Nome they were in the care of MT. and Mrs. Dave Rus sell
 As soon as these animals are settled in their new home, Carrol says he is planning a trip to Madagascar where he will cap ture lemurs, fossas and aye-aye, these latter being the lowest form of primate in existence These will be for the Marlin Parker Zoo in Chicago.
 Bob Jacobs, who brought the two female walrus pups from Wales Friday evening, had them securely tied in the bush plane before taking off, However, one of them wriggled loose after take off and spent the rest of the trip to Nome examining every part of the plane it could reach, Jacobs said. He said it even laid it's head on his lap to be scratched like puppy dog.

Miller Will Not
 Endorse Alaska Tax Moratorium

WASHINGTON R-Rep. Miller R-Neb) said today he twill not endorse" a requested 2O-year tax moratorium for the Territory of Alaska.
 Miller, member of the House Interior and Insular Affairs Com mittee, said he has received a large number of letters within the past two weeks from Alaska residents asking for the morator- ium to attract new industry and population to the area.
 T am sure all of our territories as well as the 48 states would not approve such moratorium also," Miller said. 'I am sure the Con- gress is in no mood for making such grants as you have suggested in this period when we are trying to adjust a wave of economy to high budget"
 Miller said he planned to SUD- port the Alaska Statehood Bill this year and "with this in view, 1 could no more endorse an in come tax moratorium for Alaska than I could for my home state of Nebraska"
 The statehood bill now goes to the full committee.
 There is a big fight ahead" said Miller. "The Democratic leadership in the House and Sen ate has opposed the statehood idea. I look for the vote to 5e close, either way"
