SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, (i*P) —
Costa Rican troops have captured

government has everything under
Control.
The captured rebel stronghold

12-Year-Old Bride
In Tennessee
ASHLAND CITY, Tenn. (j«P)—
Tennessee has a new 12-year-old
child bride, it was disclosed today.
She is Mrs. Cozette Morris
Boyd, pretty, seventh-grade gram
mar school student who eloped 11
days ago with Elmo Boyd, 20
year-old farm hand.
They are living with her par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Dudley Morris,
and she plans to continue going to
school “at least until the end of
this term.”
The wedding took place at
Franklyn, Ky., some 30-odd miles
away on March 6.
Neither the Morrises nor Mr.
and Mrs. Clyde Boyd, Elmer’s par
ents, objected when the marriage
was revealed. Said Mrs. Morris,
who has three younger children,
“I had an idea she was going to do
that.”
Cozette looks older than her
age, but her parents vouch for her
12 years. Elmer says she can cook
and sew and is “just perfect.”

Chinese Demand
Large Ransom For
Captured Marines
f (By John Roderick)
SHANGHAI (/P)—Chinese Com
munists are reported to have de
manded $120,000 ransom for four
American marines they captured
Christmas day. ,
Navy sources yesterday refused
to discuss the report.
In Tsingtao—anchorage of the
U. S. Western Pacific fleet — a
member of Vice Adm. O. C. Bad
ger’s staff told Associated Press
photographer John Hogan there
was no reason to believe the cap
tured marines would be released
in the “near futuer.” Badger is
commander of the Western Pacific
fleet.
The Associated Press learned
authoritatively that marine and
navy officials have had a number
of meetings with Red negotiators.
Such meetings, the informant
said, are held on the beach at Hai
yang, Communist-held village 60
miles north of Tsingtao.
Five marines were captured by
the communists Christmas while
hunting north of Tsingtao. One,
wounded, died in a few days.
DR. PHILIP MOORE
BECOMES RESEARCH
DOCTOR
Dr. Philip Moore, orthopedic
surgeon at Mt. Edgecumbs, Alas
ka’s hospital for crippled children
has been singularly honored. He
has just received notice that he
will receive $30,000 worth of
streptomycin as well as an addi
tional $5,686 with which to carry
on research work in ‘‘cooperative
and clinical evaluation of strepto
mycin in bone and joint tubercu
losis.”
Dr. Moore, who has recently re
turned from a meeting of the
American Academy of Orthopedic
Surgery in Chicago says he was
appalled at the scarcity of knowl
edge concerning bone tuberculosis.
Dr. Moore’s research may well
be a history-making project. Who
knows how far-reaching may be
its results in the fight against one
of Alaska’s chief crippling condi
tions?
Those people who are suppos
ing the 1948 Easter Seal Campaign
will have added confidence that
their money will be ably adminis
tered by such a man as Dr. Moore.
Let all Alaskan’s wish him all
good luck and success in this high
adventure that he is undertaking!
