FIELD COMMITTEE
REVISES WATER CODE;
PROTESTS FUND CUT
I
The proposed Alaska water code
came up for discussion and modi
fication at a meeting of the Al
aska Field Committee at Sitka thus
week, Kenneth Kadow, chairman,
said today. ‘‘Representatives of the
Health Department, the Alaska De
partment of Fisheries and the Wat
er Pollution Board were in at
tendance to make recommendations
most of which will be incorporated
into the code when it is rewrit
ten. Members of other departments
also suggested changes,” Kadow
said.
"The code is based on the con
cept of water use for the greatest
! public good and takes existing pro
perty rights into consideration. It
is designated to protect fisheries, re
duce any special privileges of water
use by government, exempts the
small water user and does not make
any recommendation as to who
should administer the code,” he
stated.
The revised proposed bill provides
(hat the Fish and Wildlife Ser
vice, or whatever agency administ
ers the fisheries under statehood,
will have to pass on water use pet
itions for the protection of fish
eries.
"The revised draft should be
ready in a month or six weeks and
will be available to anyone who is
interested,” Kadow said.
Among other matters coming be
fore the committee were the prob
lems in connection with road rights
of-way. It will be suggested to the
Secretary of Interior that easements i
be established which will reduce1
survey work, and costs, and simplify
homesteading problems as relating
to passage of roads through home
stead. The easements would revert
back to the property owner in case
of non-use or realinement of roads.
Tlie Field Committee is protesting
to Washington against the cut in j
public works funds which will ham
per many projects of both military ;
and civilian importance in Al- |
aska.
The Committee met with Sitka
city officials and discussed the ur- -
gent need for a hospital there. They
also went into the problems created
by the extra load thrown on the
Sitka schools by the children of the
Mt. Edgecumbe staff, as well as the
local power difficulties. These mat
ters are being taken under study
and being referred to the proper
officials for action.
Sixteen officials representing 12
I Department of Interior agencies in
'Alaska were in attendance. A spec
ial meeting will be held in Juneau
| in about a month.

RUSS PERIODICAL
TAKES BLAST AT
WAKE ISLE MEET
MOSCOW, Oct, 21—(<fl—The Lit
| erary Gazette said today President
'Truman's recent meeting with Gen.
I MacArthur on Wake Island showed
that "imperialists intend to broad
en their aggression in Asia.”
The Russian periodical described
the President as being under the
thumb ol the military and as show
ing that "for the sake of speeding
up preparations for war he is pre
pared at any time to travel a thou
sand kilometers.”
"Truman meekly reported and
his majesty MacArthur confirmed,"
the magazine said. "Never before
has the control of the military
over the entire White House been
so clearly demonstrated as during
the meeting on Wake.”
Mess Willed
Money by Man Who
Never Met Here
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21—(^7—
Actress Ann Sheridan has been
willed $1594 by a man who never
met her.
But the man, a lonely longshore
man named David Johnson saw her i
often on the screen and plastered
his waterfront hotel room with her
pictures.
He died at Christmastime last
year. His will, approved in Superior
Court yesterday, stated simply:
“I leave everything to my be
loved Ann Sherridan picture star
(and no one else).”

LA STARZA SEEKS
RETURN BOUT WITH
ROCKY MARCIANO
NEW YORK, Oct. 21—UT>—Hand
some Roland La Starza has yelled
for a return shot at Rocky Marciano.
The 23-year-old New York heavy
weight contender clamored for the
bout after he had batted a 10-0
shutout over Italy’s Duilio Spag
nolo in the St. Nicholas arena last
night.
All three officials voted for the
ex-GI by the same 10-0 score. It
may have been a record. No one
could recall such a one-sided
count at a main bout here before.
La Starza, who outweighed the
4-to-l long shot, 190'i to 184, hit
Spagnolo with everything but the
water bottle, but he couldn’t floor
the game Italian.
It was Rollie’s 41st victory against
one defeat. Marciano, unbeaten
Brockton, Mass., slugger, handed
La Starza his only loss last March
24. It was a split decision.

Author and critic H. L. Mencken
remains gravely ill in Johns Hop

a comfortable night. But his general
condition has not changed, and
death is expected at any moment.
Harold S'tassen says he’s still
waiting for Soviet Premier Stalin
to give a direct answer to his re.'
quest for a face-to-face peace talk.
The official Russian newspaper
"Pravda” has brushed off Stassen
by calling him a “shameless war
monger with a thirst for self-adver
tisement.
CHICAGO — Former Mayor Ed
ward J. Kelly, 74, Democratic Na

died today.
The government is preparing an
order which will limit the amounts
of rubber which can be used by tire
makers, and other users of rubber.
Government authorities have said
repeatedly that they expect there
will be plenty of tires. The order
will be designed to conserve large
amounts of natural rubber for de
fense.

IS BILL DAWSON HERE?
Although her son was last known
to be in McGrath and Fairbanks,
Mrs. Irene Dawson of Cottage
Grove, Ore., has written the U.S.
Marshal here, hoping to learn of his
whereabouts.
She has had no word from her
' son, J. W. (Bill) Dawson for two
years, although they had corre
sponded regularly until then.
Dawson has been mining in
Alaska a number of years. From
McGrath, he acted as guide for
CAA parties locating new airfields,
she thought. Since then, he was
believed to have gone to Fairbanks.
