Midshipman Elliott Mozee, U. S.
N. R., son of Mr. and Mrs. B. B.
Mozee of Nome, Alaska, a sopho

scheduled to disembark from the
destroyer USS Rupertus at San
Francisco, Calif., today, after par
picipating in the six-week Naval
Reserve Officers Training Corps
Senior-Sophomore Cruise to Ha
waii and San Diego.
During the cruise the midship
men received practical experience
and instructions in all phases of
shipboard work usually perform
ed by officers and enlisted men of
the Regular Navy. The highlight
of the training program took place
in Southern California waters
during the last week when the
midshipment manned and fired
all guns of the ship.
During the ship’s visit to Pearl
Harbor, Hawaii and San Diego,
Calif., training was conducted on
a modified basis to permit attend
ance of midshipmen at social
functions arranged for their en
tertainment and to allow visits to
places of interest ashore.

Fuel For Planes
Arrives at Formosa
TAIPEI, Formosa, (/P)—'The U.
S. navy tanker Cimarron arrived
at the Formosan port of Keelung
Saturday, under escort of three
American warships, bringing a
full load of fuel for planes guard
ing against a communist invasion
of Formosa.
There was much speculation as
to whether the gasoline was in
tended for American or Chinese
Nationalist war planes. General
MacArthur said he would supply
fuel for both. Six American jet
fighters arrived Friday.
The cruiser Juneau arrived at
Keelung with the Cimarron and
anchored in the harbor. Two U. S.
destroyers stood guard outside.
While the Cimarron began un
loading, work went ahead on ex
tending airfields on this Nation
alist island for use by American
war planes.

son said, he thinks steps should be
taken at once to put in uniform as
many Japanese as want to serve in
defense of their homeland.
“We would have a pool of at
least a half million trained men
to draw from,” he observed.
Under the Magnuson proposal,
Japanese who enlisted would be
paid up to half the rate of Ameri
can troops. They would not be
made eligible either for American
citizenship or for veterans bene
fits.
The Washington Senator said
chairman Tydings (D.-Md.) had
promised an early hearing by the
armed services committee on the
proposal, with the observation
that the group would explore at
the same time the possibility of
making the same sort of opportun
ity available to German war vet
erans.
Senator Lodge, a foreign rela
tions committee member, told a
reporter he doesn’t like the idea
of creating a foreign legion with
in the American armed forces.

"I'm so glad I was able to see

my husband all about it.
Eugene W. King, her husband,
is a Thlinget Indian, a bag bailer
in the St. Regis paper plant at
Seattle. He is nearly blind, but has
“object perception.”
“He can see you come into the
room, but he doesn’t know who
yau are until you speak,” she ex
plained.
Married six years, they are buy
ing • their home, and own their
furniture. She weaves afghans,
neckties and mats in spare home
time to augment the family purse.
She does the family marketing.
They have a garden, and raise
fruits and vegetables.
They like to fish, read and play
cards in braille, hike, dance, listen
to the movies and the radio. Both
had second world war jobs—she
as recording device operator for
the investigations division of the
U. S. Civil Service, and he in the
Port of Embarkation.
It is a life nobody would have
dreamed possible 30 years ago for
the little Eskimo child, triply han
dicapped by blindness, poverty
and primitive origin.
A government school teacher,
adopted little Melba and 3 other
native children and spent several
years in Nome with them, giving
all of them good educations. When
j they were grown she is reported
to have adopted two more. She
will be remembered here as Mrs.
Corrine Call, a fine motherly wo
man with a big heart. Another of
her daughters married in Nome,
becoming Mrs. Roy Synder.
The teacher, obtained govern
ment aid for the child and sent
her to schools for the blind in the
State of Washington. There Melba
won a scholarship to the Perkins
Institute at Watertown, Mass.
Next came her teaching certificate.
Back to Alaska she went, to
teach Eskimos and Indians at
j Eklutna, near Anchorage, and to

I ings to go on with her own col
