Two Army Men Have
Close Brush With Death
On Richardson Highway
VALDEZ, !(/P) — Two military
men had a close brush with death
Friday when their car plunged
into the raging Lowe River in
Keystone Canyon.
Lt. Col. J. B. Goldsmith of the
Medical Corps had the closest call.
He is a professor in the Oklahoma
Medical School in civilian life.
His companion in the dangerous
“dunking” was a Sergeant Letson
from Ladd Field.
Their weapons carrier was com
pletely submerged in the icy tor
rent near Horsetails Falls, 14
miles north of Valdez.
Letson got out first and risked
his life by diving back twice in
an unsuccessful attempt to free
Goldsmith. The colonel finally got
free of the vehicle after what the
two men estimated was a sub
merging of at least a couple of
minutes.
Col. Goldsmith is working on a
project to determine what pre
ventative measure are possible
against the spreading of human
disease by parasites and wild ani
mals.

“I was first in our large family to own a Dodge,”
says Frank Perrotti, Woodbridge, Conn. “But once
the rest of the Perrotti family saw my Dodge,
rode in it, compared it with the cars they were
driving, they all began to swing over to Dodge.
Today my family owns 13 Dodge cars and 11
Dodge trucks . . . and that’s saying plenty for
Dodge value and dependability.”
You could pay up to $1,000 more
and not get all the extra room, riding comfort
and famous dependability of Dodge
Once \ou get a taste of Dodge roominess and
comfort . . . once you see Dodge bigger dollar*
for-dollar VALUE . . . your good judgment tells
you that here is the car for Nou and your family!
New Riding Comfort
Today you want a car that’s built to last . . .
one that saves you money mile after mile. And you
want comfort, too. You want a car that protects you
from bumps and jolts—even over back roads or
detours. With the new Dodge Oriflow Ride, bumpy
roads, ruts and chuck holes magically melt away.
Come in and judge for yourself. See if you don’t
agree that you could pay up to $1,000 more for a car
and still not get all the extra room, riding comfort,
safety and famous dependability of Dodge.
Feeling Is Believing! You sit
and ride in comfort in a
Dodge. There's loads of elbow
room, leg room, head room.
Spend Five Minutes! Let us
prove you could pay up to
$1,000 more and still not get
everything Dodge gives you!

Congressmen Protest
President’s New Plant
Dispersal Policy
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Members
of Congress from established in
dustrial areas bitterly protested
against President Truman’s new
plant dispersal policy.
Mr. Truman’s aim is to spread
out the nation’s industrial plants
to make them less vulnerable to
any enemy atomic atttacks. But
opponents argue the dispersal
will hobble rather than help de
fense preparedness by draining
vitality from existing industrial
regions and forcing costly popu
lation shifts.
As announced by Mr. Truman
Friday, the policy is to disperse
new industry and expanding in
dustry but not to interfere with
established operating units. No
part of the country is to be built
up at the expense of any other
section, the President said.

Advocates of “Wide Open”
Gambling Forced Barr
To Quit as Marshal
fAP Special Washington Service)
WASHINGTON, (JP) — One of
' Alaska’s U. S. marshals has quit
i his job, attributing his decision in
part to opposition by advocates of
“wide open” gambling.
Besides, Frank Barr wrote the
Justice Department, he has been
offered a job by a former em
ployer paying him nearly $200
more a month than his pay as
marshal of Alaska’s Division Four.
Barr said in his letter of resig
nation:
“Since taking office,.I have been
successful in keeping the gambling
closed down in this area, but there
has been an organized campaign
to discredit me by the gambling
element, aided by quite .a few
townspeople and merchants who
want a wide-open town.”
Barr said that his opponents
seemingly have been successful in
implanting “suspicion and dis
trust” in the minds of his super
iors, making it impossible for him
to continue his work.

HYMNS AND THEIR WRITERS
t
As we hum and sing the fam
iliar songs found in our hymn
books today the thought of who
wrote the hymns and under what
circumstances they were written,
perhaps never enters our minds.
The hymn lore of the Christian
Church offers a fascinating field
for study. The know the hymns
of the Christian Church is to know
something of the spiritual striv
ing of the people of God down
through the ages. Hymns are the
precious stones formed into amu
lets more potent against sorrow
and sadness than the most famous
charm of the wizard or the magi
cian.
One can name several famous
hymn writers and for an example
there is Fannie Crosby, who was
born blind and who wrote no less
| than 8,000 hymns. Her life and
many others will be related to
night by the Covenant Navigators
at 8 p.m. This plus chalk draw
ing will make a most interesting
evening.
Major Samuel Nicholas was the
first commandant of the U. S.
Marines.
