MURDER OF LIVE FATHER
WHITESBURG, Kv. </P)—A mo
ther and three sons held on mur
der charges were released today
after a telephone call from Cin
cinnati informing that their miss
ing husband and father was alive.
Sheriff Herman Combs said that
Herman Ison, storekeeper of near
by Kingdom Come, who had been
unreported since March 5, was
known to have spent last Sunday
and Monday nights with a daugh
ter in Cincinnati.

brothers kill the 55-year-old Ison
at their country store, and bury
him.

Clark Will Still
Use Wire Tapping
WASHINGTON, (JP) —Attorney
general Clark today made it
known that the justice department
is not going to abandon the use of
wire-tapping in cases involving
national security or a matter of
life and death.
He acknowledged, however, that
he will not press for one contro
versial provision in the adminis
tration’s bill to tighten anti-espi
onage laws. That provision would
permit use in courts of informa
tion obtained from wire-tapping
by the FBI and military intelli
gence.
The two positions were disclos- j
ed as an aftermath to a flurry cre
ated yesterday by a letter sent to ‘
chairman McCarran 'D.-Nev.) of
the Senate judiciary committee. It |
was signed by representatives of
the Americans for Democratic Ac
I
tion and the American Civil Lib- i
erties Union.
Dog Wails Eleven
Months for Master
ELIZABETH, N. J. t/P>—A mon
grel dog of Eskimo strain has been
awaiting 11 months on a dock here
for a Norwegian tanker that left
him behind.
Brownie, as he is called by em
ployees of the Esso Standard Oil
company’s Bavway refinery, takes
food, but seemingly without inter
est. He crawls under a loading
platform when it rains, and he
hugged a snowbank during the
winter storms.
He ignores all offers of affec
tion.
The dog was ashore when the
tanker, the Maria Crisfne D., sail
ed from the refinery dock last
April.
Whenever a tanker docks, guard
John Socha says. Brownie walks
over to it, sniffs and returns to his
sleeping area with head hanging
low.

N. Y. Bars Reds
From Schools
_ I
ALBANY, N. Y. (JP)—A bill de
signed to weed out and bar com
munists from jobs in New York’s
public school system went to Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey yesterday for
expected approval.
The state assembly gave the
measure overwhelming final legis
lative approval Wednesday night,
over objections of some minority
Democrats.
Under terms of the bill, the
boa-d or regent must maintain a
list of organizations it finds sub
versive and set rules to prevent
members from holding jobs in the
public school system.
John Rapp, well known old
timer of Little Creek and Nome
returned from the States where he
has been all winter.

Park Service Wants
Funds To Develop
Nat’l Monuments
Alaska, we consider it important
to point out the pertinent facts.”
Drury said Glacier Bay, a 2,297,
456-acre area 45 miles west of
Juneau, is easily accessible to ex
isting steamer routes and is only
an eight-hour cruise by small boat
from Juneau.
"Glacier Bay has superlative
scenic qualities probably not sur
passed by any national park,”
Drury said.
"Acquaintance with its moun
tains, glaciers, icefields and wild
life is denied to prospective visi
tors by a lack of docking facilities,
lodgings, eating places and other
facilities.”
Drury said that during the war
the park service let the war de
partment build a first class air
field near the entrance to Glacier
Bay. Now operated by the civil
aeronautncs administration, it is a
key field in Alaska’s air naviga
tion pattern, he said.
"Weather conditions there are so
favorable tha tplanes can take off
or land when other Alaskan Fields
are closed :n,” Drury said.
"Development of facilities at
Glacier Bay would provide lor
monument visitors arriving either
by boat or plane, and for plane
passengers held there because of
bad flying condition at other
fields.”
Drury said an initial develop
ment is planned at Bartlett Cove,
fl1 4 miles from the airfield, to pro
vide the principal base for small
boat trips into the upper reaches
of Glacier Bay.
He estimated the cost of the
Bartlett Cove and supplementary
development at from $3,250,000 to
$3,000,000.
Of Alaska’s other national mon
ument Drury said:
“Kntmai is not so convenient to
reach and contains less to attract
the general run of interests.
“Principally it needs a small ad
ministrative staff and a protective
staff, now totally lacking, and the
housing and other facilities such a
staff would require.”
Filipino Vets
Try Pioneering
MANILA (/P»—Filipino veterans
who served with the American
army are being sent to the almost
untouched wilderness of Mindanao
island under U. S. Veterans Ad
ministration auspices to carve out
new lives for themselves in the
jungle.
The VA announced that the first
grou pof 24 ex-soldiers have left
from Nanila to begin on-the-farm
training. The VA will provide sub
sistence allowances. The Philip
pines is giving the soldiers home
steads. It is a pioneer undertaking.
Brig. Gen. R. B. Lovett, VA lo
cal manager said: “It will be ne
cessary for them to build houses
and roads and clear land to estab
lish their community. They are
taking farm animals, tents, car
penter tools and farm equipment.
Many are confidently taking their
families.”
Another hazard will be provided
by the presence in the nearby
mountains of a gang of holdout
Japanese straggler^ who have been
reported to have indulged in kid
napping and even some cannibal
ism.
