“Something Wrong
With Stalin”
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (/P)—Har
old E. Stassen thinks that “some
thing serious” has happened to
Joseph Stalin.
In a talk to young Republicans
here Friday night Stassen com
mented on a recent report of a
“faked” picture of Stalin used in
Soviet Russia’s last elections.
Stassen said he saw Stalin on
his visit to Russia within the last
year and that he knew the elec
tion picture put out by the Krem
lin was “at least ten years old.”
“I know Stalin would have
voted if he could,” Stassen said,
“and if he did vote there seems to
be no reason for putting out that
picture.”
U. of A. Receives
Anonymous <iift
w
—
An anonymous gift of 100
shares of Packard Motor Company
stock h-‘s been received by the
University of Alaska, according to
Dr. Terris Moore, president.
“We are particularly grateful to
our anonymous Alaskan donor, as
this gift show a stimulating inter
est by an Alaskan in the Terri
tory’s university,” Dr. Moore
stated.
The donor’s letter of transmittal
stated that the annual earnings of
the stock shall be divided equally
between the University of Alaska
library, with special emphasis on
Alaskan material, and the scien
tific library of the Geophysical In
stitute.
Dr. Stuart L. Seaton, Director
of the Geophysical Institute, stat
ed, “This is indeed a welcome gift.
It will enable us to buy books that
we could otherwise not afford for
our Geophysicai library.”
Ina personal note to the presi
dent, the donor wrote, “I sincere
ly hope thtat this gift of income
producing stock will encourage
other Alaskans to make gifts to
the University, in keeping with
what Alaska has done for them.”
“In all universities in the States,
endowments play a large part in
i annual scholarship awards,” he
continued. “Endowments provide
monies to establish and maintain
special professorships and to fi
nance research projects. Practic
' ally every university has a memo
rial chapel, a school or college
made possible by the generosity
and public spirit of one or more
leading citizens. I hope this will
soon be true of the University of
| Alaska.”

Circus Klcpliaut
Kills 5-Ycar-()ld
SARASOTA Fla., (TP)—A little
boy feeding peanuts to circus ele
phants was killed yesterday when
one of them suddenly whipped
her trunk around him, dashed him
to the ground and stepped on his
head.
By the time attendants could
make big Dolly move her foot,
five-year-old Roger Schooley was
dead.
He had been snatched from the
side of his horror stricken parents ;
Prof, and Mrs. Elmer Schooley of
Las Vegas, N. Mex.
The Schoolcy’s had taken Rog
er and his brother David, 6, to the
winter quarters of the Ringling
Bros., Barnum and Bailey circus
for a last look at the animals be-1
fore the big top moved on to New !
York for its 1950 opening April 5.
The two youngsters were toss
ing peanuts to the chained ele
phants when one of the gentlest,
27-year-old Dolly, made the fatal
dart with her trunk.
FINDINGS PROVE ST. PETER
WAS BURIED UNDER CHURCH
VATICAN CITY, (/P) -Vatican
sources gave new details yester
day of excavations beneath St.
Peter’s Basilica. They said the
findings confirm “the historical
reality of the belief that St. Peter
was buried there.”
These sources told of the find
ing of a “loculus”—the cell of an
ancient tomb or a burial niche in
•a catacomb—bearing early Chris
tian inscriptions. One of the in
scriptions read “Ave Petre” <Hail
Peter*.
The loculus was discovered in
excavations, in progress the past
ten years, under the altar of the
confession of the Basilica.
The excavations are to be open
ed to the public late next month or
early in May, when Pope Pius XII
is expected to make a broadcast.
E. Rodenbaulh, who is doing
a series of articles for the Satur
day Evening Post magazine, made
a flight to Unalakleet where he
plans to take pictures of that vil
lage.
