NAT L LEAGUE
HOCKEY
• By The Associated Press*
Montreal’s Maurice <The Rock
et* Richard, the only player ever
to score as many as 50 goals in a
single national hockey league sea
son is up to his old tricks again.
The great rightwinger of the
Canadiens failed to dent the twine
in the Canadiens’ initial three
games but he fired home three
goals over the week end to help
his mates gain two victories and
a first place deadlock with the
Boston Bruins.
Richard, who picked up four as
sists in Montreal’s first three
games, rifled home his initial goal
of the season Saturday night as
the flying Frenchmen blanked the
Bruins. 5-0.
Last night, he sank two markers
in the Canadien’s 4-2 conquest of
the Red Wings of Detroit.
The Bruins rebounded from
their Montreal whitewashing by
scoring a 3-2 win over the haples
Chicago Blackhawks witfy Joe
Carveth sending in the payoff goal
early in the third period.
The Hawks, who dropped a 5-1
decision to the Toronto Maple
Leafs Saturday haven’t won a
game in four starts.
Navy Brings
Prosperity To
Barrow Natives
SEWARD (/P)—The white man's
••prosperity” has waved its wand
over Point Barrow, Alaska’s most
fartherly north point.
Capt. Charles Salenjus of the
North Star, veteran Alaska native
service boat now returning from
its' annual trip north, said today
that the company’s natives, num
bering almost 600, have almost
forsaken traditional fishing and
whaling to work for the U. S.
Navy freighting supplies to the in
land base where the navy is soek
' ing oil.
The natives, who formerly
owned only -kins and fish, now
earn $20 a day—cash, Salenjus
said.
“One native told me he had
earned $5,700 in the last year,” the
captain related.
The North Star, in addition to
its cargo of several hundred rein
deer carcasses, had as passengers
21 young Eskimoes en route to
schools at Sitka and Wrangell.
The vessel has made seven trips
in Alaskan waters this summer:
five to Sitka, one to Atka, and an
other to Barrow. It probably will

Convicted Of
Krutal War Crimes
GUAM, (#*>—A U. S. military
commission yesterday convicted
Rear Adm. Shimpei Osano and
five subordinates of wartime
atrocities against captured Amer
ican filers on Truk Atoll.
Attention at their month-long
trial centered on surgeon com
mander Chisato Ueno, who per
formed a brutal operation on the
body of an injured American flier.
After the “experiment” was com
pleted. the American was behead
ed by Lt. <jg> Taeshi Eriguchi, an
other defendant.
Another flier was tied to a
wooden cross and stabbed to
death by petty officer Sueta Ta
naka.
Asano, a fleet surgeon, and Lt.
Cmdr. Shohichi Nakase were con
victed for neglecting their duty by
permitting subordinates to prac
tice inhuman acts on prisoners of
war. Found guilty of participating
in the atrocities was surgeon
Ens. Kazumi Kobayashi.
The Japanese were expected to
be sentenced today.

Vet Sues Govt.
For Towel Left In
i
His Stomach
—
BALTIMORE, </P>—A $100,000
damage suit against the United
States, filed by an ex-soldier who
contends an army surgeon left a
towel inside him after an opera
tion, was still pending Saturday
after the government failed to
have it dismissed.
Attorneys for the government1
contend the “Tort Claims Act,”
which waives the government’s
constitutional immunity from
damage suits in certain cases, was
not intended to authorize suits for i
injuries due to negligence of other
persons on military duty. How- j
ever federal judge W. Calvin I
Chesnut said he would not make ■
any preliminary decision modify
ing “the broad and comprehen
sive language of the act.”
Arthur K. Jefferson, of Joppa,,
Md., said a hand towel marked
“U. S. Medical Department” got
into his abodmen surgery at Ft.
Belvoir, Va., in l‘J45, and that a
second operation was necessary to
remove it.
The plaintiff, who draws $188
monthly in disability compensa
tion, contended he was perman- j
ently injured.
No date has been set for trial.
