Disney turned it out in 2 1-2 wecks, and delivered it to the treasury for distribution more than ten days ahead of schedule.| There is, though, this little sLonL behind it. In confgrence with| Treasury Secretary enry Mor- cnthau, Jr., Disney agreed to make the picture for cost. He set down a column of figures and ran through them hurriedly. The total was amazingly low and would have counded like chicken feed to even a minor treasury ofiicial. “That's fine, that’s wonderful,” said Mr. Morgenthau. Then the brow of the man who juggles America's billions furrowed, and he added: “But where are we go- ing to get the money?” = Disney—or Donald Duck ~-told him. e Treasury Department, by the is going Hollywood in some other ways than getting its taxes publicized by Disney shorts.

Part of the staff immediately set about putting out the fire in the smoke-filled | rcom while at the same time a call was placed for the Juneau Vol- unteer Fire Department. The blaze was quickly put out 'nd the firemen assisted in clear- out the charred bedding and r burned furnishings. Mr. Morton received slight burns in his attempt to put the fire out before caliing for help. Because of the fire proof build- ing the blaze was confined entirely | 0 Mr. Morton’s room.
