First report of the finding of the body was received here by the Al- aska Native Service, in a wire from J. E. Arnold, ANS teacher at near- by Angoon. ANS General Super- intendent'Don C.

More complete details were re- seived here today by Deputy U. S. Jarshal Walter G. Hellan, in a stter from Arnold. Arnold reported that on May 17, 1e was advised by Knute Knudsen, sitka fisherman, that Mrs. Knud- sen, while walking on the beach rear the old cemetery that day :ad noticed what she thought was +.body. At his first opportunity, on Aay 9, Arnold with a companion nvestigated and found the consid- :rably decomposed remains of what .hey are sure was a young native woman.

And as long as you refill with T5X, xt stay: clean! T5X will not corrode bearings, soltcanbeused mnnyengme Itisa tough, stable lubncant made of the finest base stocks. It won’t' break down—gives your engmes the kind of protection they need for troubh- free, dependable service. The next time you need lubricating oil for your Diesels, get the remark- able purple 0il-T5X. It’s available at all Union Oil marine stations. MOTE: The purple color of T5X comes from a special additive which helps give the oil its unusual purity and strength. UNION OIL COMPANY
