Truman Choice for
Top Navy Command
WASHINGTON. Aug. 2—1.«—Adm.
William M. Fechteler, who steered
clear of the “'Admirals’ revolt”
against administration policy, is
President Truman’s choice for the
top Navy command.
The President sent to the Senate
yesterday the nomination of Fech
telcr, now commander of the Atlan
tic fleet, to be Chief of Nava! Op
erations, succeeding the late Adm.
Forrest P. Sherman who died July
22 while on a military-diplomatic
mission to Europe.
Fechteler, 55 years old and with
35 years of Navy service, has had |
wide experience in virtually every
type of warship—except submarines
and aircraft carriers.
That appeared to be one of the
reasons why Mr. Truman chose him,,
because he was not an airman and ,
thus not touched by the zeal with
which Navy airmen plunged into
the controversy with the Defense
Department and the Air Force three
years ago. There have been strong
indications in recent weeks that the
feud between the Air Force and
Navy — long-range land based
bombers vs. carrier-borne air power
—might boil to the surface again.
In choosing Fechteler, the Presi- |
dent passed by Adm. Arthur W. ;
Radford, chief of the Pacific fleet, j
senior of four-star Admirals on ac
tive duty. Radford is a Navy air
man who played a part in the old
Navy-Air Force controversy.

Great Emotional
Role for Crawicrd
At Capitol Theatre
As a strange and exciting woman
at war with everything and every
one who stands in her way, Joan
Crawford has the greatest emotional
rale of her career in Columbia Pic
tures’ “Harriet Craig,” now at the
Capitol Theatre. Wendell Corey is
co-starred in the movie which has
been hailed in many quarters as
one of the five best of the year.
Based on the celebrated Pultizer
Prize winning play, “Craig’s Wife,”
by George Kelly. "Harriet Craig”
enables Miss Crawford to give a
provocative interpretation of a type
of role that has always delighted
her fans. As a woman who has
known both hunger*and insecurity,
Miss Crawford gives an authorita
tive portrait of a fascinating crea
ture who stops at nothing to pro
tect herself in the position she had
reached. For her new role, Miss
Crawford has been outfitted in a
stunning wardrobe that enhances
the famous Crawford figure. Wear
ing a daring new hairdo that will
undoubtedly sweep the country, the
star is, if anything, more glamorous
than ever.
Defense Deparfment
Extends Deadline on
Choice of Service
The deadline permitting selec
tive service registrants between
the ages of 19 to 26 to enlist in
the branch of service of thpir
choice for immediate active ser
vice has been extended from A.ug
ust 1 to August 31 by the depart
ment of defense, according to an
announcement from John L. Mc
Cormick, Territorial director of
selective service.
The extension applies also to
those who have had their armed
forces physical examination, he
stated.
The privilege does not apply to
registrants who have received
their orders to report for indue ■
tion, he further stated, nor does
it apply to enlistments in any of
the reserve components.
Trucks Will Be
Weighed for Travel
On Alaska Roads
Truck weighing scales will be in
stalled at strategic points of en
trance to Alaska’s highways, it was
announced this morning by Gover
nor Ernest Gruening, chairman of
the Territorial Road Board.
Truck scales were the main order
of business at a meeting of the
board yesterday afternoon, attended
by Gruening, Highway Engineer
Frank Metcalf and Territorial Trea
surer Henry Roden.
It was pointed out by Gruening
that many trucks are operating over
the highways in Alaska with loads
in excess of the allowable weights.
It is planned to install scales at Val
dez, Seward, Haines, Fairbanks, An
chorage and Tok Junction. It is
expected the Alaska Road Commis
sion will furnish the scales.
Present plan is to issue tickets
to truck drivers when their trucks
are weighed. The tickets, like driv
ers’ licenses will be subject to in
spection by highway patrolmen at
any time along the highway. This
process, it was said, would discour
age any driver from “slipping by"
the scales.
Addition to the highway patrol
force will probably have to be made
to take care of the weighing, Gruen
ing said.
Metcalf reported that the Terri
torial ferry Chilkoot showed “no
money loss” in operation during
July.
FROM DES MOINES
Peter W. Janss of Des Moines.

Seattle on PAA and is stopping at

Brazil Aviatrix
Enroufe Home on
Goodwill Mission
VANCOUVER, B.C., Aug. 2——
Ada Rogato, who has seen both
jungle and tundra roll under her
plane since she left her Brazilian
home four months ago, has arrived
here on a goodwill mission that al
ready has covered 15.000 miles.
The 28-year-old aviatrix from Sao
Pauls, traveling alone, is on a tour

nated by the Brazilian government.
She started from Rio de Janeiro,
flying to the west coast of South

and she got as far as Fort Yukon
on the Arctic Circle in Alaska.
Now, Miss Rogato says, she's on
her way home, via an indirect route.
She plans to head her plane for
San Francisco today.
After a tour of the eastern states |
she'll fly down the east coast —
and home, she says.

5 Church Hikers
Killed When
Lightning Hits Tree
DRIGGS, Idaho. Aug. 2—MI—A
bolt of lightning killed five church
camp hikers and injured eight others
huddle beneath a mountain wil
derness tree yesterday.
The victims, four teen age girls
and a woman camp counsellor, all
of Idaho Falls, were part of a group
of 37 hiking through a canyon in
the Teton Peaks, about 12 miles
east of here.
A sudden thunderstorm broke
over the rugged country, driving the
group to cover under some large
trees. Fred Miller, scoutmaster from
Driggs and the only man in the
group, said he had just warned the
, party to "get away from the tree
; during the storm," when the bolt
I struck.
Miller, stunned himself, applied
; artificial respiration to six uncon
scious, but still alive, girls.
Two hysterical girls ran to the
campsite, two and one half miles
distant to get help.
The victims were identified by
state authorities as Betty Kearney, I
Carol Engstrom, Mary Severson,
Bernice Malone and Mrs. Ora Holst,
the camp leader.

VISITOR FROM WRANGELL
Mrs. Louis Paul of Wrangell is

Robinson-Turpin .
Fight Featured
At ?0!h Century
The fight picture of the recent
Robinson-Turpin bout opens tonight
at the 201 h Century Theatre. Com
panion feature will be the M-G-M
film, “Angry God."
A hungry fighter, as every old
boxer knows, is the best fighter.
Sugar Ray Robinson was not a
hungry fighter as he climbed into
the ring at Earl’s Court in London
At 29 lie was only afraid of losin
the egg in his beer or the pearl in
his oyster. By contract, Randy
Turpin, 23, who shuffled into thf
other corner wearing the shabbiest
of robe . was starved. He was an
ex-cook in the Royal Navy, the son
of a white mother and a Negro sol
dier from British Guiana, and had
earned little money or prestige in
winning 43 of his 46 fights. This
was his big chance and he lit into|
Sugar Ray as if he had never heard
of the latter’s fearsome reputation.
Two rounds went by before Rob
inson landed a solid blow. Not unti.
the sixth did Sugar Ray win fi
round. Ringside experts could
hardly believe their eyes; the world's
cleverest fighter was being suck
ered by an adversary who came in
too low and much too open. But
Robinson's footwork was leaden, his
timing frightful. In the seventh a
troublesome cut appeared over
Sugar Ray’s left eye. It was Tur
pin's head, butting him in a clinch,
that did the damage. From then
until the end of the fight Turpin
kept peppering the bad eye and had
Robinson on the verge of a knock
out in the 14th. When it was over
nobody waited for the referee tc
raise Turpin’s hand. It was obvious
that Britain had a new world cham
pion and the crowd went wild.
Alaska Cancer Group
Provides Aid for
Anchorage Child
Radium treatments for a 5-year
old Anchorage girl, who recently
had a malignant growth removed,;
are being made available through
funds of the Alaska division of the
American Cancer Society, accord
ing to Mrs. Mildred R. Hermann,
commander of the society’s Alaska
division.
This is the first substantial con
tribution the Alaska cancer group
has made to a special patient, she
said. The child is an out-patient
at a Seattle hospital. Assistance of
the Alaska society has been of great
value to the family, whose funds
were depleted by costs.
"This is a striking and dramatic
illustration of the way our service
to cancer victims operates,” Mrs.
Hermann said.
This year much of the fund was
spent on an educational program.
Value of the visit to Alaska of a
team of cancer specialists, arranged
through the Alaskfi society has
been acknowledged as far-reaching.
During their visits to Ketchikan,
Juneau, Fairbanks and Anchorage,
the cancer specialists examined over
200 patients.
"This proved to be an excellent
service to cancer victims, both real
and potential, and a valuable pro
ject in the field of professional
education,” Mrs. Hermann said.
O'Dwyer Brands
Report He Got
Million as 'Lie'
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 2—(At—U.S.
Ambassador William O'Dwyer has
branded as ‘‘an abominable lie” a
report that $1,000,009 had been
transferred to his bank account
earlier this year.
In a 250-word statement issued
yesterday, the former New York
mayor denounced as “a cowardly
and contemptible smear" the report
which he said ‘‘appears to have
emanated from the Senate Crime
Investigating committee.”
The New York Daily News pub
lished a dispatch from Washington
yesterday saying the Senate com
mittee was investigating a $1,000,000
letter of credit ‘‘reportedly trans
ferred from Mexico to a Manhattan
bank for the account of Ambas
sador William O’Dwyer a few days
before New York’s former mayor
testified before the committee last
March."
HARMON FAMILY

Harmon who is director of Public
Welfare for the Territory.
