Divér?i nds Sunken Wheel 0f MS Forester Youthful Coast Guardsman Finds Propellor in Four Fathoms Almost four fathoms down in murky water, tangled in submerged lines and in a leaking suit, John Paris, 19-year-old diver of the Coast Guard cutter Haida this morn- ing stumbled over the object for | which he and two other navy div- ers_had been seeking for two days |—a 240-pound propeller from the charter boat Forester. | Paris, second diver to go down I today in scarch' of the lost wheel, | had been beneath the surface for |45 minutes when he stumbled over ;a partially buried brass blade.

Diving operations started yester- day with the return of the Haida from Wrangell. Kinky Bayers, own- ér of theé de-propellered Forester, got the permission and the coop- dration' of the commander of the Coast Guard cutter, and a diving squad of three men, Ensign John Prichard in charge, was sent to the Juneau Ferry Float. | Three Dives Yesterday Paris first went down yesterday afternoon and was followed after an hour's search by seaman George Titus. Both Titus’ and Paris’ search proved fruitless and Ensign Prich- ard went down for an hour, No trace was found of the propeller Early this morning Titus donned the héavy suit again and groped his way along the bottom. After an hour, he was brought to the sur- face, having covered more distance than any of the other dives. Paris was sent down and told to work underneath the Wanderer and in that direction. It was not much later that the diver reported by phone to Ensign Prichard that he could sée the blade of the lost propeller. Faulty Propeller Said Kinky Bayers, “I can see now what made the wheel drop off when I shoved the Forester into reverse. The propeller was defec- tive and the brazing near the shaft broke.” Bayers expressed his gratitude fo the Haida divers and to Comman- der Jewell for his cooperation. “They're sure a fine bunch of fel- lows,” he said. The Forester, after its accident of several weeks ago, has been fit- ted with another propeller and will make a charter trip fot salmon derby fans to lower Stephens Pas- sage. e gyear it Visitors.

His father’s family had come from England in the 17th century, his mother’s from Ire- land in the 19th, His grandfa- ther, who founded the newspa=- per where young'Tom worked as printer’s devil, was a second cousin of the Admiral Dewey who took Manila.

Two years later he left a 55(_).000~a- year private practice to take a $16,695 job as special New York City rackets prosecutor. He fought fear with fear, scaring small - time hoodlums into squealing on the big shots. By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE AP Feature Service Writer WASHINGTON. —Thomas E. Dewey may be riding for a fall in the Philadelphia sweepstakes, but he’s coming down the stretch as neutral observers here were rating | the 38-year-old cket-smasher as the man to beat.” Now they figure that anxiety over the war may | have slowed Dewey’s drive. This| is assuming that several Republi- | can leaders fear Dewey's inexperi- | ence in international problems might be a liability. | Non-partisan observers give this summary of Dewey’s political equip- ment: Pro—Crusade against crime made him a national hero; name better known to man in strect than any Republican with pessible exception of Hoover. Con — Many old heads in party consider him too young; unseasoned in governmental af- fairs. Pro — Preconvention speeches show him to be a potent cam- | paigner with one of country’s | | | best radio voices and tech- niques. Con—Rip-snorting, prosecut- ing-attorney type of campaign may not go so well if interna- tional situation overshadows do- | mestic troubles Pro—His glamour as a battler of criminhals appeals especially | (o0 youth, longed regarded as a | Roosevelt bulwark. Con—If his opponent were a comparatively conservative vet- eran, like Cordell Hull, a size- | able bloc of business men might | vote Democratic. The capital's non-partisan view is that Dewey may have a fairly good chance to win in_a band- wagon rush at the Philadélphia convention, June 24, but if he fails to get a majority in the first four or five ballots his prospects will| fade quickly. It is said several Re-! publican leaders would prefer. Dew- | ey and his campaign “oomph” as| second fiddle to a more seasoned standard bearer. Here are some Dewey opinions, as he has expressed them in his | campaign: } SOCIAL SECURITY—"It is no se-| curity unless backed by eco-| nomic security which in a pre-| dominantly industrial economy | like ours requires the release of all productive energies.” , , , Fa-| vors adequate “non-political” re- | lief for the jobless; unemploy- ment insurance administered in the interest of all workers; old age insurance to provide a rea- sonable standard of living and 2 continuing survey of possibi ;.ties of extending social insur- ance. | BUSINESS AID — Stop govern- ment policies that ‘“discourage | Jjob-making business life of the nation.” Put ‘“experience, ability and fair play” in SEC and | other regulatory bodies. . . .

Jackson, Acting Com- missioner of the Bureau of Fish- | eries, said.today that for the first| time the Wardens of the various Alaska fishing districts have com- piléd interpretations of thé regula- tions governing the commercial sheries of Alaska for each district in smiplified language. The purpose of these interpreta- tions is to make it less difficult to readily understand them. These in- terpretations, of course, represent the views of the local District War- den and it must be understood that if there is any variance between these interpretations and the of- ficial regulations, the’official regu- lations must be adhered to. Jackson said that the selection of the Alaska personnel has been completed for the present season! and that most of the Wardens are COUNTRY BOY WITH A VOICE SUCCEEDS AS BIG CITY While studying voice in a Chi- cago studio, on a_scholarship, Dewey reasoned it would be smart to have something to fall back on if his vocal chords gave out.
