Pioneer Roof Garden
Date Set For Dec. 10th
The Pioneer Roof Garden,
which usually takes place during
Christmas week, is scheduled for
December 10th this year.
The earlier date was decided at
the last meeting of the Pioneer or
ganization after many written and
oral inquiries were received, in
dicating that the people of Nome
are ready and anxious for the
winter social season to begin, and
it seems apparent from the inter
est manifested in the inquiries
that the PIONEER ROOF GAR
DEN still holds the spotlight in
Nome.
Committees have already been
appointed and have been instruc
ed to spare no effort or expense to
provide the best talent obtainable,
as well as a diversified program
of events appropriate for the oc
casion.

Shoots Brother
MILAN, Mich, </P> — Law offi
cers probed further today into the
strange case of a six-year-old boy
who they said deliberately loaded
a heavy shotgun and killed his
brother with it.
Monroe county prosecutor Rob
ert Sawyer planned to talk to lit
tle blond, blue-eyed Richard Rose,
whose eight-year old brother, Glen
Leroy, was shot yesterday after a
quarrel with Richard over some
books. He died an hour later.
“Glen hit me and I got mad,”
State Police trooper Arthur Kap
ler said Richard told him.
Then the youngster convinced
officers he had fired the gun that
fatally injured his brother by
demonstrating just how he did it.

Truman Stumps
For llerh Lehman
WASHINGTON. (Ah—President
Truman jumped back into the po
litical arena Saturday night with
a brief radio appeal to the voters
of New York to back Democratic
candidates in tomorrow’s special
election.
The President returned Friday
night from what he jokingly call
ed a “bipartisan speechmaking
trip designed to be “entirely
pleasing to Minnesota Democrats.”
In his five-minute talk Satur
day Mr. Truman urged the elec
tion to the U. S. Senate of former
New York Governor Herbert H.
Lehman, and the re-election of
New York City’s Mayor William
O’Dwyer.
Lehman is fighting for the Sen
ate seat now "held by Republican
John Foster Dulles.
Fur Coat Sales
Tax Postponed
WASHINGTON (/P)_The inter
nal revenue bureau yesterday
postponed until March 1 the effec
tive date of a ruling clamping the
; 20 per cent sales tax on all-fur
I coats without exception.
The postponement was in re
i sponse to protests from manufac
turers and merchants. They claim
j ed^ they would suffer loss unfairly
l unless given time to dispose of
stocks acquired before the ruling.
The original ruling, made
known Wednesday and intended
to be immediately effective, was
designed to plug a loophole in the
law under which some all-fur
coats had gone tax free along with
fur-trimmed cloth coats.
