“Only Kremlin
Cheers 3rd Party”
W
TACOMA, (iP)—James Roose
velt says “the only cheering for
the third party comes from the
Kremlin.”
The eldest son of the late Presi
dent paid his respects to Henry
Wallace’s third party movement at
the Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner
of Pierce County Democrats Sat
urday night.
Roosevelt csaid “the biggest fak
ery expounded by the third party
is that there is no difference be
tween Mr. Truman and Mr. Taft.”
He asserted that Wallace and
his backers claim they are the sole
inheritors of the policies of Frank
lin D. Roosevelt. But, he declared,
most of the Wallace supporters
wouldn’t back the Roosevelt poli
cies if they saw one.
Roosevelt expressed a belief
that Hugh Delacy of Seattle, for
mer first district congressman, no
longer spoke for Democratic party
leaders. He said he supported De
lacy in 1946 because of his liberal
voting record.

“Huckleberry Finn”
This Friday Night
“Huckleberry Finn,” which will
be presented at Nome High school
on March 19, has been more wide
ly read than any other of Samuel

never been any controversy over
the fact that this is the greatest
American tale ever penned. All of
the many friends whom “Huck”

ever played pranks and exhibited
boyish charm. For “Huck” is that
most lovable of all humans, a typi
cal American lad, brave and cour
ageous in times of adversity, loyal
and sincere ot those who have be
friended him. The play contains;
all the human qualities that have
endeared “Huck.” Imagine the
thrill you will ge t from seeing all
of the well-known characters of
the novel step before your eyes in
the flesh! And this is not a play
only for children. Running
through it is a romance that will
interest adults.
The members of the cast are:
Aunt Polly (Mariah Watson) who
is “so nervous,” Bertha Bjornstad;
Ruth Watson, her sister, June
Dunbar; Mary Jane, their young
niece, Alice Miller; Fred Ray
mond, in love with Ruth, Jack
Dowd; Melba White, colored maid
at the Watson’s, Olga Hay; Clara
Woppinger, Deaconess of the
church, Ellen Waldheim; Amy
Woppinger, her irrepressible niece,
Juanita Fagerstrom; Huckleberry
Finn, who loves to play pranks,
Glenn Mazen; John Finn, his
father, Dean Bronson; Tom Saw

the time of the airliner’s last re
port to the Gulkana station Friday
night.
The airline reported members ol
the plane’s crew included: Capt.
Robert Petry, pilot; John Stickel,
co-pilot, and a navigator named
Worsley, all of St. Paul-Minneap
olis, and Robert Hazlet, Seattle,
purser.
Northwest’s SJ. Paul headquar
ters reported the passengers wer
seamen employed by California
and Texas Oil companies. They
had taken an oil tanker from New
York to Shanghai and were being
flown back to New York.
It is the first disaster for a
Northwest Airlines plane since the
firm inaugurated its service to the
Orient by the great circle route.
The line started chartered flights
over the route in January, 1947,
and has been making regular pas
senger airliner flights three times
a week, each way since last July.
BAYONNE, N. J. (/P)—The ex
paratrooper brother of one of
eight New Jersey men lost in the
Alaskan air crash, volunteered
yesterday to “jump in” for a res
cue attempt.
He was Norman Davidson, 29
year-old paratroop veteran, who
said he wanted to make the jump
on the possibility that his brother
still was alive. Then, he said, he’d
“figure a way to get out.”
The possibility that he’d be per
mitted to make the rescue attempt
appeared slight, however. Alaskan
authorities said the area was so
inaccessible that the bodies might
never be brought out. They said
they had no hope of finding any
of the plane’s occupants alive.
The Eastern Stars are looking
forward to a pleasant social eve
ning this evening at the Masonic
Temple as the gentlemen of the
order are in charge of the party
and usually have a surprise or two
for the ladies.
