WHEREAS, on September 17, 1787, the Consti
tution of the United States was adopted by the Consti
tution Convention and ultimately became the funda
mental law of the land; and
WHEREAS, as our nation grew and became great,
and as new problems came into being, certain additions
were made to our Constitution, notwithstanding which
the basic document has remained unchanged and un
shaken and there has thereunder been maintained a
government “of the people, by the people, and for the
people,” “to preserve justice, safeguard domestic
tranquillity, promote the general welfare, and glorify
the blessings of liberty”; and
WHEREAS, today, 164 years after it was adopted,
the Constitution of the United States is still the great
hope of Freedom-loving people the world over:
Now, therefore, I, Ernest Gruening, Governor of
the Territory of Alaska, by virtue of the authority in
me vested, do hereby proclaim Monday, September 17,
1951, as CONSTITUTION DAY and urge all churches,
schools, civic and patriotic organizations and all citi

greater respect for the gifts of liberty, equality, and
justice granted us by the Constitution.
In witness hereof, I have hereunto set my handj
and caused the Seal of the Territory of Alaska to be

Stunting Plane
Falls Into Crowd
Killing 20 Persons
FLAGLER, Colo., (IP) — A Civil
Aeronautics Board official says
v
CAA regulations obviously were
violated in an air show plane
crash which killed 20 persons.
Seventeen persons were in
jured. A stunt plane plunged into
closely parked cars and specta
tors during the air show in this
small farming town Saturday.
Regional CAB chief R. P. Par
shall, directing the probe today,
said:
“It was obvious the pilot was
too close to the crowd.”
He described the crash as “the
worst tragedy involving a small
aircraft in this country’s aviation
history.”
The 20, including the pilot, were
killed or fatally injured as a low
wing stunt monoplane crashed
and scattered over 150 yards
packed with rows of parked cars
and spectators at an air show
highlighting the Flagler fall fes
tival.
The wing of the plane snagged
on wheat stubble as the pilot,
First Lt. Norman L. Jones, a stu
dent at the Lowry Air Force Base
Photo School on temporary duty
from Davis-Monthan base at Tuc
son, Ariz., did a barrel-roll in
the civilian craft.
The plane cartwheeled into the
crowd and practically disinteg
rated, dealing out death, suffer
ing and anguish.

In Ft. Louis Loan
I
WASHINGTON, (TP)—A Recon- |
structon Finance Corporation of
ficial testified Saturday the RFC’s
usual reviewing procedure was
completely by-passed for a $645,
000 loan granted a St. Louis print
ing firm in 1949.
Ernest B. Howard, RFC employe
for 19 years and chief of its busi
ness loans branch in 1949, ap
peared before the Senate Investi
gating subcommittee probing
three RFC loans totaling $645,000
to the American Lithofold Corp.,
of St. Louis. The big government
lending agency had turned down
the firm’s first three loan applica
tions before it reversed itself.
The subcommitttee has received
sworn testimony that Democratic
National Chairman William M.
Boyle, Jr., helped promote the
RFC loans. Boyle has denied the
charge.
Howard, in his testimony, con
firmed one portion of testimony
by James E. Toole, former Litho
fold treasurer, whose thick, black
diary has been a key document in
the investigation. Toole said he
learned from Howard that the
$645,000 loan, the second made to
the St. Louis firm, was processed
“up there” in the high RFC eche
lons without going through usual
channels.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Ryan are
the parents of a daughter, who
has been named Linda Jane.
Mr. and Mrs. Ryan are from
Unalakleet.
During their period of maxi
mum growth, young birds con
sume more than their own weight
in food every day, says the Na
tional Geographic Society. If a
growing boy ate like that, he
could eat two or three lambs a
day.

GOPs Launch Campaign
To Nominate Eisenhower
In ’52 Presidential Election
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Support
ers have launched a campaign
to convince Republicans that Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower is a mem
ber of their party and that he is
available for the GOP presiden
tial nomination.
This preliminary campaign was
agreed upon by Gov. Thomas E. \
Dewey of New York and other |
Eisenhower backers at confer- j
ences here, according to some of j
fhose who took part.
The general’s chief rooters also j
were said to have agreed that j
when the time comes — possibly
later this year — to bring the
Eisenhower candidacy out into
full public view, the impetus will
come from Kansas.

PRO FOOTBALL TEAM
LOSES IN 59TH MINUTE
CLEVELAND, (/P) — Nobody j
would blame Joe Stydahar much j
if he wanted to play 59-minute
football games against the Cleve
land Browns.
Twice the coach has seen the 1
national pro football league !
champs trim his Los Angeles
Rams in the last minute.
Last December in the champ
ionship game Lou Gro’za booted a
field goal in the last 20 seconds.
That gave Cleveland a 30-28 win
over the Rams.
Last night it was only an exhi
bition but the Rams had the
Browns 6-0 with 42 seconds left
to play. Then Otto Graham tossed
a touchdown pass to Horace Gil
lom and Groza toed the conversion
for a 7-6 win.

Speaking of dental work, the
inlay does not hurt as much as
the outlay.
