Secretary Gordon G has ordered all field commanders to put qualified Novmr\ in white combat units. This is in line with Defense Secretary Johnson's lorder of last April, based on the advice of a civilian committee appointed by the President. All men in | uniform, Johnson had said, were to be assigned to duties “without regard for race.” | ‘The Air Force announced a non-segregation policy in May. The Navy made a similar announcement in June. But Army leaders thought an exception should be made of their branch.

Ben Eielson, had been located February 13. Slipenov said Borland had undoubtedly been killed in- stantly. The body was found in the tundra in five feet of snow, four feet from the engine, which was more than 100 feet from the fuselage The remains were removed to a tent, to be taken later to the schooner Nanuk. Nineteen men working at the scene were to continue thefr operations, expecting to locate Eielson's body shortly. E. D. Roberts, of the local U. 8.

Mother and infant were doing fine, and another little girl, the Roberts’ first-born, was helping the proud father in his housekeeplng duties. 3 The masquerade given by the Women of the Mooseheart Legion was a great succ Harry Davidson won the door prize, and awards for costumes went to Mrs. Sigurd Olsen, Mrs, Clara Minert and John Green.

She had suffered .a paralytic stroke of which news had been broadcast by both KFIU of Juneau and KOMO, Seattle, in the hope that some listener would get word to Secrest. Mrs. Strong, wife of Capt. William Strong of Eaton, heard the KOMO broadcast February 8. Her messenger arrived at the A-J camp at midnight the same night after mushing 1% miles through Coming in, four men had volunteered to break trail through the 8-foot snow for Secrest, who was a novice at snowshoeing. They made the exhausting march of eight miles between daybreak the next day and 9:15 that night, then were stormbound in a Wet Hill refuge cabin for two days, due to a furious Taku wind. This further delayed | them after they reached, first Oscar Olson’s cabin 10 miles away, then that of Ben Bullard.

MODERN ETIQUEITE Roperra LEE b -'Q. If one is staying at a small resort hotel, should one make special efforts to become acquainted with the other guests? A. It would be better not to “push” or intrude yourself on others. Speak to the guests you meet. A pleasant “good morning” or “good evening” is in best taste, and often this leads into further conversa- | tion, later ripening into friendship. Q. What is a good toast to propose to the bridegroom at a wedding reception? A. “Here's a cordial toast to that nervous, fidgety, restless, patient, uncomfortable, but enviable fellow—the groom.” Q. When invited to attend a christening, is it necessary for a guest im- to send a gift? It is not obligatory, but it is quite often done. A. LOOK and I.EARN T C. GORDON 1.
