Heart Attack Kills
Idaho U. S. Senator |
WASHINGTON, (JPy-U. S. Sen- |
ator Bert Henry Miller, 70, Idaho
Democrat, died of a heart attack
at his home here at 8 a.m. Satur
day.
Miller was elected to the Senate
last November in the sweep that
saw the Democrats recapture con
trol of Congress and elect Presi
dent Truman.
His defeat of Republican Sena
tor C. Dworshak helped to give
the Democrats the 54 to 42 edge
they held in the Senate at the be
ginning of this session. Since then
the margin has been cut to 53 to
43 through the resignation of Sen
ator Wagner <D.-N. Y.) and the
appointment of John Foster Dul
les, a Republican to succeed him.
Presumably Miller’s death will
mean the loss of another seat for
his party since Idaho’s Gov. C. A.
Robins, who will name a succes
sor, is a Republican. This would
LOMEN CO. COMPLETING
WAREHOUSE ADDITION
The Lomen Commercial Co. is
this week completing an addition
to their lighterage warehouse fa- j
cilities. This new warehouse will
add 2400 square feet of unob
structed floor space and will great
ly relieve the congestion in the
handling of shipments of grocer
ies and general cargo. The new
addition is west of the other ware
house facing the Snak River revet
ment.
A large portion of the materials
used in this new warehouse was
salvaged last year from the freight
warehouse at the old lighterage
site at the east end of town, near
the Northern Light and Power
plant. This material has served
well the people of Nome for some
40 years and will continue to do
so in its new structure and loca
tion. j

Small Sandwiches, Big Flavor
Cheese spread and almond sandwiches can be cut into dainty
finger sandwiches and still keep their man-sized flavor. That’s because
the cheese spread itself, one of a large family of cheese spreads which
come in attractive five-ounce glasses, has a satisfyingly sharp flavor.
Almonds and chopped sweet pickles provide interesting texture. Make
this spread for both hearty and dainty sandwiches. Collect the glasses
for cheerful breakfast service.

1 5-oz. elass sharp cheese *4 cup chopped sweet pickles
sp.ea 14 cup mayonnaise
14 cup chopped blanched
almonds 12 slices bread, crusts trimmed

each sandwich, spread a generous portion of this mixture between two

on a chop plate.

Airlift Los Angeles
To Alaska
LOS ANGELES (/P)—A military
airlift between Seattle and strate
gic points in Alaska is being oper
ated “on paper” by a group of na
tionally-known air transport spe
cialists in Los Angeles.
This was disclosed Saturday by
Col. E. M. Ellingson, chief of staff
of the western experimental divi
sion, military air transport serv
ice, who said that the division is
setting up, complete to the last de
tail, a theoretical transport opera
tion in the Northern Pacific area
as a research problem.
Historic at inception as the first
joint air force-navy reserve pro
ject in the nation, the western ex
perimental division of MATS was
formed voluntarily several months
ago, by outstanding reservists in
civil aviation who during the war
held top posts in the air transport
command and naval air transport
service, and today wish to con
tinue to serve the nation with
their experience.
Progress of the western division
was praised Fr dvianight by Maj.
Gen. Lawrence S. Kuter, com
manding general of MATS, who
inspected the headquarters and
staff here during a brief visit from
Washington. D. C.
Commanding the voluntary re
serve group, at its request, is one
of the world's leading experts in
air supply—Lt. Gen. Harold L.
George, wartime chief of the air
force’s far-flung air transport
command, and now general man
ager of Hugher Aircraft Co.. Cul
ver City.
The transport operation being
blueprinted by the division ex
tends from Seattle to Fairbanks,
and on to Anchorage. Nome, Point
Barrow, Kodiak, and other vital
Alaskan points. Basing its studies
on utilization of latest vital trans
port aircraft the headquarters
staff is analyzing and solving in
detail each problem of operations,
traffic supply, maintenance and
personnel. Cumulative experience
of the specialists in the group pro
vides technical data as required.
Complete solutions of the prob
lems involved in the Northern Pa
cific operation will be turned over
to MATS for possible future use
as required. Crystallizing its na
tional security value, the plan
calls for first flight checks over
the route to be accomplished by
“M-Da.v plus 14." with first sched
uled operations to begin “M-Day
plus 17.”

Sherman Minton
Becomes Supreme
Court Justice
WASHINGTON, iff9) — Backed
by topheavy Senate approval,
Judgse Sherman Minton took his
oath promptly as a member of
the United States Supreme Court.
The lawmakers approved his
appointment by a vote of 48 to 16
after batting down a motion to
send the nomination back to the
judiciary committee.
Minton, who will be 59 years
old October 20, was named by
President Truman to succeed the
late Justice Wiley B. Rutledge. He
takes to the court an eight-year
record as a judge of the seventh
circuit court of appeals.
Minton’s confirmation came af
te Senator Morse 'R.-OreJ failed
on a 45 to 21 vote to send the ap
pointment back to committee with
instructions to require testimony
from the nominee.
Senators Ferguson < R.-Mich.)
i an dDonnell 'R.-Mo.) had sought
the chance to ask Minton about
i the views he expressed on public
questions while he was serving as
l a Senator from Indian on the new
deal’s Hey-day from 1935 to 1941.
The committee at first ordered
Minton to appeal. It withdrew
that order when Minton wrote the
group that he thought such action
raised ‘‘a serious question of pro
priety, particularly when I might
be required to express my views
on highly controversial and liti
gous issues affecting the court.”
The committee then voted 9 to 2
approval of the nomination.
Morse told his colleagues they
were sowing the seeds of bad pre
cedent by letting a Supreme Court
nominee refuse to testify before
the judiciary committee. They re
called how the late Senators Borah
of Idaho and Lafollette of Wiscon
sin had grilled the late chief jus
tice Charles Evans Hughes.
Minton is President Truman’s
fourth appointee to the nine-man
