disappointed office-seeker on
July 2, 1881 while entering the

Railroad station located on
the present site of the National

hanged.
William Mckinley was shot
down by Leon Czolgosz, an an
archist, on September 6, 1901,
during the Pan American Ex-

Warren G. Harding became

Franklin D. Roosevelt died
Of a cerebral hemorrhage at
Warm Springs, Ca, on April
12 1945, shortly after his re-
turn from the Yalta confer
ence.
Assassination attempts have
figured in American history as
far back as 1885. Andrew Jack
son was the first President
whose life was endangered in
office.
President Jackson was walk
ing through the rotunda of the
Capitol on January 80, 1885,
at the head of a funeral pro-
cesSion for a Congressman
when a young man standing in
the crowd only eight feet away
aimed pistol at him.
Pistol Misfired
The cap exploded but the
pistol misfired. AS the would
be assassin tried to fire again,
the President rushed at him
with appraised cane. A Navy
lieutenant knocked the man |
down.
President Theodore Roose- /
welt was the first to be given |
Secret Service protection. In
later years, when he had left
the presidency and was cam
paigning in Milwaukee, Wis, |
for a return to office, he was
shot by John Schrank on Oc-
tober IA, 1912. The bullet
lodged in his chest but missed
his lung.
President Franklin Roosevelt
narrowly missed death less
than three weeks before he was
to be inaugurated for the first |
time in March, 1888. AS preSi-
dent-elect, he had addressed !
a crowd in a Miami (Fla.O park
and was about to drive away
when Giuseppe Zangara started
firing.
A woman standing next to
zangara grabbed his arm and
the shots went wild. Five 9TH
ers were wounded, among them
Mayor Anton Cermak of Chi
cago. Mayor Cermak died on
March 6 and Zangara was cleo
trocuted.

after finding a '38 caliber re-
volver and ammunition in his
Washington room. Best told
agents he had loitered in La
fayette Park for days, hoping
that the President would drive
near enough to be shot. At the
time, the President was out
Of the city. Best was sent to st
Elizabeths Hospital.
The attempt on President
Truman's life was made by two
Puerto Rican Nationalist who
attempted to storm Blair House
where the President was liv-
ing during the renovation of
the White House.

Kennedy Was Fourth President
Shot Down By Assassin's Bullets

e5ohn +. Kennedy Is the fourth
American President feIled by
IN assaSsin's bullets and the
eighth to die in office.
TfiHis death continues the odd
coincidence that Presidents
elected at 20-year intervals In
6ero-number years have died
while serving as Chief Execu-
tives.
Mr., Kennedy was the first
President to be killed since the
Secret Service was assigned to
prptect the American chief
Of state.
President Abraham Lincoln
approved the establishment Of
the Secret Service to protect
the currency against counter
feiters, but he and two other
Presidents were slain before
Congress extended the duties of
the Secret Service to guarding
the President.
In the more than six decades
that followed, every attempt at
assassination was fooled until
Friday. Some of the attempts
have come close and the num-
Der has increased.
None Against Eisenhower
In recent years, only Dwight
d. Eisenhower was free Of
direct attempt on his life.
Two plots against Mr.. Eli
senhower were uncovered,
however. Both were traced to
the Nationalist Party of Puerto
Rico. Neither attempt came
off and no one was arrested.
As President-elect, both Mr..
Kennedy and President Frank
lin D. Roosevelt we're the tar
gets of assassination attempts
Only once has an attempt
been made on the life Of the
President in the vicinity Of the
White House. The intended VIC
tim was President Harry S.
Truman.
Over the years, every aSsas-
sin has been captured.
Mr.. Kennedy was the young
est President to die in office.
The second youngest was Pres
ident James Garfield. a victim
of assassination when he was
40.

The village of Nondalton last week received the first award ever presented in Alaska for outstand- ing service in the protection of valuable resources from fire on the Public Lands of the United States. This was the se6oflsi such award in the whole Nation.
 The appreciation award was presented to the president of the village council, Nick Balluta, by James W Scott, Fire Control Officer for the Bur eau of Land Management, and Dennis E. Hess, Chief, Branch of Protection.
 Accompanying the framed cer- tificate was a letter from ELM State Director Roger R. Robinson, which stated in part; "Under the leadership of Gabriel Trefon and successive village chiefs, the men and women of Nondalton have, on numerous occasions during the past Is years, fought wildfire with exceptional skill, aggression and courage. Furthermore, no man-eaused fires have occurred on lands occupied by Nondalton people. This record is noteworthy evidence of their continued efforts to prevent wildfire."
 NondaitOn IS a clean, pictures que fishing village occupied by some 24O Athabascan Indians. The village nestles on the northeast shore of Sixmile Lake between lllamna Lake and Lake Clark across Cook Inlet from the Kenai Peninsula. The only access is by boat or plane.
 In presenting the award, Scott commended the village on it's neat appearance, progressive attitude. and fine spirit of cooperation. 1t IS one of the best kept villages in Alaska, Scott said.
 To allow for future growth and development, Nondalton has filed for a 16O-acre townsite from the Bureau of Land Management. Ac- cording to George Gustafson, townsite trustee for ELM, the vil- lage residents will receive full title to the land as soon as pro- per surveys have been completed.
 Although many of the dwellings, are log cabins built in the 1940,s. the village has an exceptionally good school house built last sum- mer by the. Bureau of Indian Al fairs. About 50 students attend

One Of the most insignificant

when absent than when properly
used, as John Emmerling Of
Milwaukee points out. He sends

Opening lead: King Of spades.
Imagine you're South. You
take the ace Of spades, cash
the ace Of hearts and plan to-
reach dummy and discard a
spade on the king Of hearts.
For this purpose you draw
trumps with the ace, the queen
and the jack. That draws all of
the missing trumps and gives
you a feeling Of security. Now
you cash the king Of hearts to
get rid Of a spade and lead the
queen Of diamonds to force out
the ace.
Back comes a spade, and you
must ruff with your last trump.
What's more, all of your lovely
aces have gone. You cannot
lead to the jack of diamonds
and then get back to your hand.
Only Chance
Your only chance is to lead
the king of diamonds, overtak-
ing dummy's jack. This will
work out well If the diamonds
break go, as they should about
two-thirds of the time. You will
then be able to capture all Of
the diamonds with the king
and 10.
AS it happens, the diamonds
break Al. You cannot run the
suit, and you wind up going
down two. Get ready to send a
letter to your Senator.
Don't be surprised If your
Senator tells you that you
should have played the hand
better. The correct line is to
draw only two rounds of trumps
before cashing the king Of
hearts and leading the queen of
diamonds from dummy.
When a spade comes back,
you ruff; but you still have a
trump left in your hand. You
can lead a diamond to dummy's
jack and still get back with
your high trump to draw Vests
last trump and run all of the
diamonds.
Suppose that second diamond
gets ruffed? That won't happen
if the diamonds break 80. It
also won't happen if the player
with one diamond started with
only two trumps. This is the
extra possibility that you get as
a free bonus by drawing only
two rounds Of trumpS.
Daily Question

mond, and the next player
passes. You hold:

Answer: Bid one spade. With

first in the higher suit. If both
