Ordeal in Arctic
Fastness Shewing
At Capitol Theatre
Alone and afoot in the stark, frigid
stretches of the Far North, driving
himself across the silent, uncharted
wastes of ice and snow, the hero in
Plymouth Productions’ presentation.
• Arctic Fury," enacts a tense and
thrilling story of an unconquerable
spirit.
The play is now showing at the
Capitol Theatre.
Dr. Thomas Barlow, the only
physician in a 1,000-mile area of
the Arctic, is about to leave his iso
lated dispensary when he receives
word of a plague that is decimating
remote Eskimo tribes. He immedi
ately takes off to them in his am
phibious plane, but is wrecked
against an iceberg. The plane ex
plodes and burns. The doctor escapes
from the plane and from thousands
of tons of falling ice, evades a men
acing polar bear, and finds refuge in
a cave.
With only the clothing he wears,
a cigarette lighter and a penknife,
the doctor sets out on the long, des
perate journey homeward through
the 20-hour long Arctic nights, sub
sisting on roots and grasses and
small game caught with his bare
hands. Accompanied by two bear
cubs he has adopted, he discovers
he is being trailed by the mother
bear, that appears in time to scare
off a herd of musk oxen that has
treed him.
House Overrides
Veto on Veteran
Pension Bill
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17—OB—The
House today passed over President
Truman’s veto a bill providing $120
monthly pensions to certain veter
ans disabled from causes not con
nected with their military service.
It applies only to veterans whose
condition requires that they have
the services of an attendant. The I
present pensions for these veterans |
range from $60 to $72 monthly.
The roll-call vote was 318 for pass
ing the bill again and 45 against.
This was 76 more than the two
thirds needed to override a veto.
Senate action still is required. If
the Senate repassed the bill, it, be
comes law regardless of the Presi
dent’s objections.
President Truman vetoed the bill
on Aug. 7 with a message sharply
criticizing both the principle of i:
and the prospective cost.

Researcher
Questioned
In 2 Deaths
'Human Guinea Pigs'
Die Because of Wrong
Sedative Dosage
VERMILLION, S. D, Aug. 17—
UP>—A 28-year-old medical school
researcher laced new questioning
today after admitting a drug he
administered by mistake caused
the deaths of two ' human guinea
pigs” in a sedative experiment.
Dr. Louis F. Michalek, of the
South Dakota Medical Schc ji staff,
told a coroner’s inquest yesterday
he gave methadon instead of
demerol in the test Tuesday.
Jack Clifford, 30, a technician,
and Mrs. Ardys Pearson, 20, sec
retary in the University's pharm
acology and physiology depart
ment, died in a hospital 24 hours
alter the drug was injected.
Dr. Michalek told jurors the
normal dose of demerol is 100
150 milligrams, of methadon only
10 milligrams. He explained that
he mistakenly gave each of the
two victims 100 milligrams of
methadon.
"tyere the bottles labeled?” he
was asked by Martin Weeks, Jr.,
Clay county state’s attorney.
‘Yes,’’ the doctor replied.
“Did you read them?”
■Yes.”
“Then how do you account for
this mistake?”
“It's one of those things you
can’t account for. You check it,
and then you just don’t know how
to account for it.”
Dr. Michalek said he discovered
the error within five minutes.
Margery Stuvland, another secre
tary in the department, was to
have been the third subject for
the experiment. Methadon was to
have been used on her.
“I went to check the vials again
to make sure I had the right j
one,” the young doctor continued, i
”1 picked t.p the vial and realized ,
that I Lad already used the drug. |
I went for antidotes immediatelv ” '

Pearl Peterson
Retires from
Forest Service
After nearly 29 years with the
U. S. Forest Service in Juneau,
Miss Pearl Peterson retired this
month and left yesterday for a
two-month stay in California. Her
retirement was effective Aug. 15.
I Miss Peterson came to Juneau
in December of 1922 from the San
i Francisco office of the service.
Shi was secretary to Charles H.
Flory, then regional forester, and
later to B. Frank Heintzleman
when in 1937, he was promoted to
that positic::. At the time of her
retirement Miss Peterson was ad
mini trative assistant, which she
has been since 1946.
Of the esteem in which Miss
Peterson was held in every de
partment of the Forest Service,
Heintzleman .said today:
“11 perfect equality of oppor
tunity between men and women
were fully observed in our ag
enev, Pearl might be occupying
almost any one of our execu
tive positions from forest ranger
to regional forester. She cer
tainly knows enough about the
acti\ities to qualify.
High Esteem
“However, she has been well
situated to contribute to the work
over a long period of years, and
has done so magnificently. Her
co-workers in the office and field
hold her in as higli esteem as a
friend as she has been held of
ficially, and all of them are pleas
ed that she plans to continue to
live in Juneau after her retire
ment from an active career."
During her long residence in
Juneau Miss Peterson has made
countless friends. She has been
especially interested in the Jun
eau Concert Association and ser
ved as its vice-president until
this year. She was also prominent
in the National Federation of
Federal Employees.
The past two weeks or more
Miss Peterson has been honor
guest at numerous luncheons and
dinners given in her honor by
her friends. Among them was a
dinner given Sunday evening by
Mr. and Mrs. Clay Scudcjer as a
combination farewell and birthday
observance.
Miss Peterson flew south via
Fan American plane. After spend
ing a few days in Seattle she will
go to Oakland and Concord, Cal
if., to visit relatives, planning to
return to Juneau around Nov. 1.
