The paragraphs are as follows: Harry Truman's experience of going broke as a haberdasher and paying off his debts for 20 years now influences his decisions as President of the United § States. This was revealed at a White House confer- ence called to-discuss the defense of Alaska—the place which any Russian invasion might hit first. Military advisers were trying to get the President to O. K. a plan for public housing and utilities in Alaska to be paid'for over a 35-year perfod. Housing for troops in the bitter cold winters happens to be what Alaska needs most Mr. Truman listened carefully and then said: “No, I'm not going to approve that. I spent 20 years of my life with a heavy debt hanging over my head, and I'm not going to burden the people of Alaska with | that kind of worry. Every year I paid $1,000 on the‘ debt when my clothing store went under. It wasn't all paid until the year I was nominated for Vice- President.” Philosophically, Mr. Truman continued: “I don’t want my children or children’s children. paying off the debts for mistakes I could make in the White of England when medical service!

KEPNER MAKES HIS FIRST VISIT T0 JUNEAU Lt. Gen. William E. Kepner, Com- mander-in-Chief of Alaskan forces made his first trip to Juneau to speak at the Alaska American Leg- ion convention here. He had expect- ed to come here to participate in the Golden North Salmon ' Derby last July but events at that time did not permit. He hopes to make it next year, he said. Gen. Kepner regards his Alaska assignment as a “fortunate one,” likes the country and the people although he is fully aware of its importance. Alaska was not new to him when he assumed command last July. For two years previously he had made frequent trips to Al- aska in connection with the Cold Weather Testing Station at Fair- banks. He is an outdoorsman and hopes to get in some hunting this fall. “Of course, he said with a twinkle in his eye, “I'll be glad to pay my non-resident license fee. I've flown over the mountain sheep country and it looks like rugged hunting but I may be able to go moose hunt- ing. Mrs. Kepner will join his in Oct- ober. The General was accompanied by Maj. J. K. Bryan (Texas), public information officer; Donegan (Colo.); Co-pilot Tom Auberry (Fla.); Staff Sgt. Charles E. \Drew and Tech Sgt. George H, Rountree (NO). 2 g o I SRR S L 00 0 8 Ml I s e S~ S S, e S5l = NSO s > A el SO o8 Sl TGS 0 SRS ER EN A SR S P e ARSI N il = i S B e s FLAMINGO OVERDUE .The Flamingo, a 50-foot seiner owned by Dan'Wright of Junéau‘was | ‘reponed overdue from a fishing' | trip today, according to informa- tion received at the U.

First, there was a opening day Septemzer 3; then Douglas Day—September 5 was Bay Day. Highlight to date was the Indian tribal dance festival, Colorful and varied entertainment programs were featured, as well as elaborate amateur displays of agriculture, sewing, cooking, canning, flowers, photography, education and curios, also striking commercial exhibits. School was dismissed at noon in Douglas, so that youngsters could attend the fair. Sale of the Arctic Brotherhood Hall on Third Street near Main, to John E. Green, proprietor of the Bergmann Hotel, was announced by John Reck, President of the First National Bank, which owned the; property. After a three-week business trip to Southern California, Joseph L. George of George Brothers, returned home accompanied by Arthur Judson, member of the George Brothers Grocery staff. Dr. Robert Simpson and William Demany returned in their open boat from a hunting trip near the boundary line up the Taku River, where they had bagged a bull moose weighing 800 pounds. Arriving from Skagway, the steamship Dorothy Alexander of the Admiral Line remained until noon, then left for Seattle. Among pas-| sengers boarding here was Miss Aleece Graves for Seattle. Mr. and Mrs. E. C.
