PAYOFF PUNCH
CHAMPAIGN. Inn., </P> — The
dignity of the Champaign County
circuit court was momentarily up
set at the conclusion of a divorce
trial .
C. E. Tate, attorney for the wife
seeking a divorce, had concluded
arguments and Judge Grover W.
Watson began to prepare the de
cree.

her estranged husband to her side.

sound punch: “That’s one I’ve
owed you a long time.”

Filipino Complaint
Not True
MANILA. (/P)— Rear Adm. H. H.
Good, commander of the Philip
pine sea frontier, issued a state
ment that Filipino civilians’ com
plaints that they were abused at
Olongapo naval base are “with
out foundation.”
Lt. Col. John P. Stafford, U. S.
M. C., who headed a board of in
quiry, reported “No evidence, rec
ord or indication was found of
physical mistreatment of any
prisoner and no mistreatment of
citizens.” A Filipino newspaper
had alleged treatment as bad as
under the Japanese.
Good said the investigation of
military-civilian relations in Olon
gapo indicated such relations were
on a firm, friendly footing. He
said the investigators found a few
isolated “anomolies” but immedi
ate steps were taken to prevent a
* i * • • V
recurrence.
I
Te said the anomolies included
detention of prisoners an average
of two days without filing charges.1
Philippine law specifies a maxi
mum of six hours. The board re
ported a convicted prostitute re-1
turned surreptitiously to the base
and civil affairs police undertook
to clip her hair when a naval reg
ulation applying to prisoners. She
fainted and the clipping was aban
doned.

Ask Republicans
To Restore
Alaskan Trade
ANCHORAGE, (A*)—An urgent
telegram asking assistance of the
Republican party in restoring;
Alaskan trade and commerce
“which completely collapsed un
der Democratic leadership,” was
dispatched to Senator Robert A.
Taft Saturday by the Anchorage
chamber of commerce directors.
The telegram, signed by cham-j
ber president Edward V. Davis,
who remarked, “I’ll probably lose
caste with the Democrats since
I’ve been one for many years,”!
said in part:
“A plea is being made to Re
publicans after repeated pleas to
government officials from Presi
dent Truman on down failed to
bring even encouraging replies.
“Alaska is being held hostage
by warring steamship operators!
and unions at Seattle. Both sides
are using the Territory’s plight to
force the other to yield. Alaskans
are suffering from lack of food,
and many payrolls have disap
peared, abrogating the means of
livelihood of good American fam
ilies.
“Even a relief ship is unable to
leave Seattle because the operators
and unions cannot agree on selec
tion of engineers.
“Will the Republican party;
make it possible for us to sur-j
vive?”
