quick results.

In the 10th Rescue Squadron it
looks as if some of the boys have
turned to gold digging. A certain
two fellows are going on a fishing
trip this week. They have it all
planned out but dont know of any
place to go. Now that PT has
caught up with us, we now hear
more grunts and groans in the gym
than you hear in the county poor
house.
The members of AACS have a
few men in their present organiza
tion that served during the recent
conflict, in other parts of the
northern theater. Namely Iceland,
Greenland, Labrador, and New
foundland. Theirs is an important
communications job for the entire
Air Force. They, you might say,
are the Signal Corps of the Air
Forces. They work in close contact
with ACS and CAA, the two other
communications outfits in Nome. ,
In honor of the 135th anniver-1
sary of the Ordnance Dept., which
was Wednesday, May 14, a stag
party was held for Ordnance per

sponsored by Lt. Russell and was
a great success, well attended by
the men. Our best wishes to the
Ordnance newlyweds — Cpl. and
Mrs. Theodore J. Grotha. In the
absence of S/Sgt. Bock, T/4 Ed-1
win R. Miller is now acting 1st
Sergeant for Ordnance!
Last Monday night, while the

VOLNEY RICHMOND, JR.
DEFENDS SEATTLE
AT ROTARY LUNCHEON
At a Rotary luncheon yesterday
in the Sourdough Room of the Ne
vada Building, Volney Richmond,
Jr., general manager of the North
ern Commercial Company, with
offices in Seattle, spoke briefly
before a gathering of Rotarians.
Mr. Richmond stated definitely
that he was a resident of Seattle
but that like all businessmen of
Seattle realized the great import
ance of Alaska to Seattle.
He pointed out that the recent
agreement with the Maritime
Commission and three Seattle
shinping companies for service to
Alaska was definitely the only
possible solution to the shipping
problem, in that, an agreement j
had to be reached before June of
this year on termination of the
government operation of the ves-!
sels.
Accordingly there was nothing
else the commission could do, he
said, as there were no other com
panies requesting permission to
enter into the Alaska trade.
We realize, he stated, that the
increased costs of transportation
are going to be a terrific shock to
Alaska, but we know also that the
cost of operating the steam-hip
lines has more than doub’ed in 'he
last fev/ years, due almos' p'i1;'0
ly to labor difficulties, increased,
wages, and lower work output.
was given a suspended sentence
and placed on probation for two
years.
Mrs. Jensen pulled the fire
alarm after failing to obtain aid
from passing motorists. She was
fined $50 in magistrate’s court for
sending in a false alarm. The next
day her conviction was reversed
and the judge returned the fine.
War Criminal
Dies A Suicide
NUERNBERG, Germany, (/P>—■
Gen. Franz Boehme, indicted for
war crimes allegedly committed
during the German occupation of
Yugoslavia, died early today of a
skull fracture suffered in a sui
cide leap in Nuernberg prison.
Boehme eluded guards while
walking in a corridor in a third
floor tier of cells late Wednesday
night and hurtled over a rail. His
fall was broken by a catwalk two
tiers below.
American prison officials said

Boehme was one of the princi
pal defendants in a case prepared
by the United States against 12
German military leaders in the
Balkans and Norway. He was in
dicted May 10 on charges that he
rounded up hostages and issued
orders for their execution.
Guadalcanal
Changed Jap Plans
I —
i TOKYO, (/P)—U. S. capture of
Guadalcanal in 1942 forced the
Japanese general staff to abandon
plans which Japan was forced to
drop and which were designed to
place the U. S. and Great Britain
in a passible defense role.
Tanaka was placed on t.ie stand
by defense counsel to deny exist
ence of any plans for an offensive
against the Soviet Far East after
the outbreak of war between Rus
sia and Germany.
