Iron Lung Arrives
Late At Barrow
FAIRBANKS, (/P) — An iron
lung was rushed to the continent’s
northernmost village—Point Bar
row—on Friday to try to save the
life o*f a 17-year-old Eskimo, an
expectant mother.
It arrived too late. She died af
ter contracting poliomye 1.11 i s
Thursday. It was the fifth death
from polio in Alaska within two
months. Meanwhile there were 15
polio cases here in Fairbanks.
City health officer Robert P.
Gorman paid tribute to volunteer
nurses who have offered their
services in the epidemic. He said
many were mothers of small chil-,
dren.
“Their prompt and unselfish
response to a call for nurses has
resulted in saving the life of at
least one child and in efficient
care and treatment of many other
patients,” he said.
Volunteer nurses here consult
ed with Louis M. Suchomel, or
thopedic consultant from the joint
orthopedic nursing advisory serv
ices on modern techniques and
procedures.
Dr. C. Earl Albrecht, Territor
ial health commissioner, has been
in telephone and telegraph com
munication here since Monday
with the national foundation for
infantile paralysis, and has coor
dinated the supply and demand
for respirators (iron lungs) nurses
and equipment.
He was to leave shortly for An
chorage with Miss Suchomel to
consult with doctors and nurses
there over the disease.
Peggy's popular eating place of
the summer, has closed up for the
winter. It is not known if the res
taurant will re-open again next
spring.

4th Infantry Now
158 Years Old
September 30, 1950, soldiers of
the 4th Infantry Regiment now
stationed in Alaska, celebated i
their 158th birthday.
The regiment, presently com
manded by Colonel Max H. Goo
ler, was first organized as the In
fantry of the Fourth Sub-Legion
in 1792, only three years after the
adoption of the Federal Constitu
tion.
1940 saw the 4th commence its
vital work in Alaska. It was the
first organization of its size to ar
rive in Alaska and formed the nu
cleus for the Alaska Defense Com
mand. The Regiment was busily
engaged in helping build Fort
j Richardson in 1941-42 when it
entered upon a more active part
in World War II.
The troops maneuvered in wea
ther from 20 to 35 degrees below
zero. They had none of the elab
: orate footwear provided by the
; army and air force today to pro
• tect they from this type of wea
' ther.
Soldiers of the 4th Infantry saw
their bloodiest action on Attu Is
land. Major John D. O’Reilly of
Seattle, a commander of a battal
1 ion of the 4th, who was later to
receive a battlefield promotion to
Lieutenant Colonel for outstand
| ing leadership, reported to Maj.
Gen. Eugene Landrum, carrying
extra rations and ammunition.
The troops weer marched direct
I ly to the battle sector and engag
ed the enemy in less than 24
hours after landing.
After being packed away in
| “mothballs” for 21 months, the
; Regiment was again activated at
I Fort Lewis, Washington, on Octo
bre 1, 1948, as the main compon
ent of the 4th Infantry Regiment,
is back in its old stamping ground
in Alaska.
The eagle which crowns the 4th
Infantry Regiment’s colors is
, perched atop streamers which
represent the 4th’s brilliant and
colorful past record. The expres
sion on the eagle’s visage is not,
: however, one of content. It is
more of an expectant look, a look
1 to the future of the 4th. There is
| only one path for the 4th to take
and that is on to' further glorious
achievements for the Uni ted
States of America.
“Million A Year
Protection** Deal
NEW YORK, UP) New York
City’s • gambling graft probers
reached out Friday to tag three
police officials and “a prominent
public figure” as grand jury wit
nesses.
The ‘figure” was not identified,
but was widely believed to be for
mer Mayor William O’Dwyer,
who resigned five weeks ago' to
become American Ambassador to
Mexico. He now is vacationing in
California.
The new moves followed fast on
a series of early morning raids
ordered by Brooklyn district at
torney Miles F. McDonald on the
homes of eight policemen.
The raiders turned up four tele
vision sets that McDonald said
were gifts from bookmaker Harry
Gross, head of a reported $20,000,
000 gambling empire. ,1
Gross, now in jail as a material
witness, has admitted paying one:
million dollars a year for police
protection.

Review Court Mar
tial Death Sentence
WASHINGTON, <£>>—The first
death sentence imposed on an
American servicemen in the Ko
rean war is under review by the
army’s top legal authorities.
Adjutant General E. M. Bran
non said Friday that he had re
ceived the court martial case of
First Lieutenant Leon A. Gilbert,
\ork, Pa., Negro who was found
guilty of “misbehaving himself
before the enemy by refusing to
advance with his command.”
Gilbert’s wife, Mrs. Kay Gil
bert, 27, asked President Truman
two weeks ago to overrule the
death sentence, which has seldom
been carried out in modern times.
Her request was turned over to
the Judge Advocate General of
the army.
Mrs. Gilbert said that her hus
band had been under tremendous
strain. And his company “had
gone 13 days without food and
water” adding:
“Leon cracked up and disobey
ed a command of the geenral.”
The commanding officer’s re
port of the case, said Gilbert had
refused to return to his post dur
ing front line fighting, explain
ing that he had “a wife and child
ren to consider.”
