‘Doug’ Doesn’t
Aspire Presidency
TOKYO, Sept. 30. </P) — Gen.
Douglas MacArthur said today he
had no presidential ambitions but
intended to “see the Japanese oc
cupation through.”
The supreme allied commander
issued a statement in reply to
news reports that Rep. A. L. Mil
ler, Republican of Nebraska, had
mentioned the possibility of his
becoming a candidate in the 1948
campaign.
“As I have repeatedly stated,”
he declared, “I have no political
ambitions, contacts or plans, and
I am not a candidate for the high
office of President of the United
No Champs In
National League
By JOE REICHLER
In a fitting climax to baseball’s
most turbulent year, the close of

the National League without a

first place.

“There are no grounds whatso
ever for statements to the con

frequently said before—that I in

Salinski Wreck
PRINCE RUPERT, B. C., Sep<t.
30. </P)—Forty-eight survivors of
the 3,000-ton American transport,
Brig-Gen. M. G. Zalinski, landed
here from the Union Steamship
Catala at midnight last night. The
Zalinski ran hard aground on Pitt
Island, in Grenville channel, 55
miles south of here early yester
day. on a trip to Whittier, Alaska,
with a full cargo of Army sup
j plies. It sank half an hour later,
its bottom torn out amidships by
rocks. There were no deaths nor
i injuries.
Deck officers reported that the
; weather was wet and windy and
visibility poor as the ship thread
ed the narrow channel. Second
engineer Carl P. Carlson of Seat
tle. said the Zalinski was going at
full speed when it struck. The pi
lot, Capt. Andrew M. Thorvik of
Seattle was on watch at the time.
Survivors said they escaped in
two lifeboats in less than 15 min
utes, and were picked up by the
cannery tender Sally S and taken
to Butedala, B. C., where they
were taken aboard the Catala.
No one was able to save more
than the clothes they wore, and
the only article of cargo taken off
was a dog consigned to Lt. Col. G.
E. Dawson, of Denver, Colo., an
American army officer at Anchor
age. The dog was rescued by
T/Sgt. Don Powell of Barberton,
Ohio, as the men took to the boats.
Skipper of the Zalinski was
Capt. Joseph H. Zardis, a veteran
of Pacific coastal waters.

Martin Varnes To
Be Brought ‘Home’
SEATTLE, Sept. 30. (/P)—Ever
since little four-year-ola Martin
Varnes came to Seattle in July he
has wanted to go back home to
Petersburg, Alaska.
Soon he’ll be on his way—with
his heartbroken parents, Mr. and
Mrs. John Varnes.
There he’ll lie in his beloved,!
native Alaskan soil. Martin died
late last week at Providence hos-:
pital of leukemia. When a Peters
burg physician diagnosed the
child’s illness last July he advised
the mother to bring him to Seattle
for treatment. Martin was in and
out of the hospital a number of
times, but finally the disease was
more than his little body could
overcome.
Now the Varnes are waiting for
the waterfront situation to be
come more settled so they can get
ship transportation to take Mar-!
tin home, at last.
