Golden Gate
Bridge Closed,
Result of Storm
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3——
Another storm blew into northern
California today, but less severe
than the gale which lashed the
area Saturday. That wind-whipped
downpour forced closing of the
Golden Gate bridge for three hours
Saturday night for the first time in
its 14-year histo*y.
Rain started falling late last
night from San Francisco Bay
north. High winds were expected
today as the new storm moves in
land and southward.
Golden Gate bridge engineers
said the broadside buffeting did not
damage the structure, world’s long
est single suspension span.
"It is in perfect alignment,” said
bridge general manager James E.
Rickets.
Pleasure Boat
Tossed Over Like
Cork; 6 Persons Die
SAN DIEGO, Calif., Dec. 3—Lfl1)—
Waves and currents tossed a Sun
day pleasure boat'over like a cork in
its home port entrance here and
took the lives of six of 11 persons
known aboard.
Lifeguards said they understood a
twelfth unidentified man was mis
sing, but survivors listed only 11 on
the boat.
The 40-foot “Dot,” a converted
former Navy landing craft, was hit
by heavy ground swells late yester
day as it swerved in the surge of an
| outgoing tide in the narrow Mission
Bay entrance channel.
City lifeguards, watching from a
lookout tower, were at the scene in
a few minutes. They pulled nine
from the water—four dead and five
alive.
The dead included Mrs. Dorothy
Outright, 34, only woman in the
party and the only one wearing a
“life preserver when the boat cap
sized.
That Stop Firing
Order Was Issued
Declares AP
By the Associated Press
The Associated Press supported
its contention today that what
amounted to orders for an unoffi
cial cease fire actually were issued
last week. High military com
mands and the White House
promptly denied that they had
been, although fighting suddenly
dropped off all along the front.
The AP bureau chief in Tokyo,
Robert Eunson, has filed a copy of
an order he got from a source
considered to be extremely reliable.
The order is said to have been read
to at least one battalion November
23 and signed by the Commander of
the First Army Cori* in Korea.
Presumably similar orders went
to other Allied forces.
The order says there was no ac
tual cease fire, but that Allied policy
would be to avoid casualties, main
taining present positions and fir
ing only in self defense. Patrols
would seek information only, and
raids were barred.
After a flurry caused by disclos
ure of the strange lull that settled
down over the fighting fronts, a
second order came out. It instructed
Allied troops to improve their posi
tions when they could, and to out
shoot the enemy five-to-on% ... if
he shoots first or presents an in
viting target.
J. B. Evans of Yakutat is at the
Baranof Hotel.

Elks Memorial Services
Held for Departed
Members of Past Year
Tribute was paid at the Elks Me
morial services Sunday to 21 lodge
members who died during the past
year. *
“Death is not the enemy of life
but its friend, for it is the know
ledge that our years are limited
which makes them so precious,"
Joseph A. McLean said in his eulogy
of the Elks who have passed on.
"All should take a lesson from
those who have gone on ahead. That
lesson should be of healthy minded
ness and natural piety: the writing
of our brother’s virtues in stone
and his faults in sand,” he said.
The Methodist church choir under
the direction of Mrs. Jane Mc
Mullin sang at the services. Ac
companist was Mrs. Ruth Popejoy.
