There was one rne woman in Seward, Alaska Nellie Long. That woman wouldn't turn away any body who needed something to eat. She was a wonderful little person. She wrote book about her life in Alaska that read while it was still in long hand. Once she come up to my cabin on Long 'Crick' and she wasn't there a min- ute before she started to cook. She thought we needed some meat so she went up on the ridge and shot moose. She packed out lot of it too-She could pack sixty to seventy pounds on her back.
 Dangerous experiences? We'll, once I went down to lake to drag up moose my partner and I had killed. A big brown bear came along and I climbed the first tree l could reach. My little dog sat at the bottom of the tree wishing he could climb too. I shouted to that bear to go away and he just looked at me, but he finally went away. 1 roped yearling moose once and tried to take him across a little glacier 'crick' to my cabin. chok- ed it up and it fell on the ice. When it got up it was the fighting est animal you have ever seen, and dangerous. I had to let him go"
 Jake Blanc came to Kodiak on March II, 1940, managed the long shoremen for about nine years, spent some time trapping fox and weasel, owned a rooming house which he recently sold, and finally, about seven years ago moved to IsthmuS Cove.
 He built temporary cabin at first on the site of the new wood shed, then the permanent one about five years ago. His dog, Roscoe, half cocker, half spaniel follows him around at his various gardening and housekeeping activ- tiles Roscoe is totally blind. It happened overnight last November and the only explanation is that dogs can have strokes the same as humans. He was wonderful hunter when he could see. Let me show you my private duck hunting lake" Not far from the cabin, in what was once a lagoon, is a marshy pond where ducks gather by the hundreds in the fall. 'I sit at the window and wait until the ducks settle down; then it's only short walk and an easy shot for my dinner. Cooking? Yes I like that. Up until four or five years ago I cooked for hunting parties.

HAIFA. Israel. Dec. 81 (AP)
DIR. Robert Servatius, German
defense lawyer for Adolf Eich-

Nazi will admit the facts but
plead not guilty to charges Of
the mass killing Of Jews in
World War II. Eichmann in

Editorial
SUSPENSION, FOR PERFORMING DUTY?
H LINE BETWEEN duty and abuse Of duty is
SO fine that it is often difficult to detect. That being the
case, great care must be taken in drawing conclusions as
to when public officer has overreached himself or over
stepped his bounds.
SUCH CASE seems to have occurred this very
month in the recall Of a patrolman who, in the normal
exercise Of his duty, proceeded to hand out tickets to
those who, as he understood it, were ~violators. Absent
further facts, it would seem that an officer would be
commended for performing his duty. But the whole
story is not known, and anything beyond that point
would be conjecture, and thus change the picture COM
pletely.
YET, il VERY officer, no doubt to his great SUR
prise, found himself on the suspended list, temporary
though It turned out to be. Was he suspended because
he did his duty? Did he exceed his duty as such? In ex-
ercising his duty as he knew it, did he fail to exercise
discretion so that even though he did his duty, the very
doing Of that duty created other, more vexing situa-
tions? Who knows? What is certain is that he was sus-
pended and sent back to st. Thomas.
THE TROUBLE WITH these situations is that they
are left unexplained, which is worse than the situation
itself because with no explanation, which is due the pub
le conjecture and rumor run wild. One Of the great as
sets Of any administration is good public relations. With
out being expert in the field Of public relations, it is safe
to say that good relations are p~redicated on favorable
information. This the Administration has every oppor-
tunity of doing. @
VIII THESE situations, which Of necessity arise
from time to time are unavoidable, their sharp edge can
be dulled by fortnight action, and clear statement. It
would be tragic indeed if an officer, in the exercise Of
his duty, had to work under a cloud which could des-
cend upon him at any time, without warning. Big or lit
tie, important or not, that is not q wholesome atmosphere
in which to work. Either these public servants will be-
come callous, or suffer such fear that they can scarcely
perform their duty with any degree of efficiency.

Former President Harry
Truman treated hundreds of
local Democrats to 20 min
utes Of his invigorating
presence last night at a party
given by the National Capital
Democratic Club.
Held in the club head
quarters at the Sheraton
Carlton Hotel, the reception
was scheduled for 6 to 8
o'clock and many of the
guests came on time.
But it didn't really begin
until $40, when Mr.. Truman
appeared.
And the heart went out of
it at Z, when he left.
Making what was probably
planned as a surreptitious
entrance through a French
door at the side of the hotel,
the former Chief Executive
sailed in, pink-cheeked and
cheerful, on a blast of fresh
cold air. He found a large
semi-circle of admirers wait
ing Just inside to welcome
him.
well, I declare. Look
who's here" said Mr.. Tru-
man, catching sight of
Senator John Sparkman in
the front ranks.
The crowd held back for
a minute, taking in the hero,
then surged forward for a
closer look. Mr.. Truman, led
by Mr.. Henry Fowler, presi-
dent of the NCDC, had to
force his way to the receiv-
ing line a couple of rooms in,
and a frustrated photographer
observed. "It's as bad as the
Khrushchev visit"
Calls Him "Sweetie"
Mr.. Truman stopped along
the way to shake hands with
his old friend Leslie Biffle
and with Senator Theodore
Green. When he got to the
receiving line Mrs. Katie

of the Democratic National

Hello, sweetie!"
Anytime I can stand next
to you, it's all right" she,
said, apparently referring to
the lack of space as she
squeezed over to make room
for him.
The line, situated at the
narrow entrance (also the
only exit, to the clubroom,
included former Secretary Of
State Dean Acheson, looking
spruce; Democratic National
Committee Chairman Paul
Butler, looking solemn; Mr..
Martin Friedman, a member
Of the clubs board Of gov
ernors, and, for a time,
Speaker of the House Sam
Rayburn.
Mr.. Truman was ready,
as usual, with bits of advice.
When Mr.. Rayburn "a bache-
lor) submitted to a welcoming
kiss on the cheek from Mrs.
Louchbeim. the former Presi-
dent chided him, Don't do
that"
And when a photographer
asked Mr.. Truman to whisper
in Senator Green's ear again,
he counseled cheerfully. IF
you want to get a picture,
you ought to be a little
quicker"
Out and in Again
Everybody wanted to shake
the honor guests hand.
Many of those who arrived
early went out into the lobby
and came in again just to
do so, which accounted in
part for the congestion at
the entrance. 70
A few minutes before 6.
former Republican National
Committee Chairman Leon
ard Hall turned up in the
hotel lobby. He asked two
Democrat friends about to
go into the reception, II Won
der if I could get in there?"
"Oh, I am sure you'd be well
come" he was told. -
The event honored, in ad-
dition to Mr.. Truman, all
Democratic members of Con-
gress and the 100 national
committeeman and commit
teewomen here for a special
meeting yesterday and the
campaign kickoff dinner to-
night.
Among the other guests
were former Attorney Cen
eral (under TrumanO James
P. McGranery, and special
advisers during the Truman
administration John Steel
man and Donald Dawson.
According to Mr.. Fowler,
the National Capital Demo-
cratic Club grew out of a
small luncheon group called
by its members-Democrats
who had served under Tru-
man the "Out-but-Happy.
Club" The NCDC now has
about 1000 members. -.
Earlier yesterday the DEM
ocratic national committee
men and women were enter
tained by Senator and Mrs.
John Kennedy at a reception
in their Georgetown home.
Only a few other guests were
invited to this party.
