DONKEY WAR Alaskans have long been famil- far with claim-jumpers, fish pirates and squabbles over whose dog kill- ed the neighbor’s chickens. Now a new item has been added to this of troubles—a fight over, of all things foreign to Alaska, a donkex | " The donkey, bearing the perhaps | not inappropriate name of Dammit, was acquired by a man named Kn Carson who lives hear Ketchikan. According to Sid Charles’ Ket- chikan News, Carson recently ap- peared before the U. S." Commis- sioner to complain that & neighbor Wesley Miller, had fired a shotgun ast at Dammit. ened with the shotgun. _Carson] wrested the gun from Millen and Mrs. Miller hit Carson over the ead with a rock. Carson's 12- year-old daughter picked up the gun and threw it in the bay. Then Qarson threw Miller in the bay and ended the argument. That was Carson’s story. Miller had a somewhat different tale. In the first place, he said, he didn’t shoot at the donkey. He shot into the air to scare the crit- ter out of his garden. Miller said Carson didn't take the gun away from him. They both fell into the bay while they were wrestling over the gun. And Mrs. Miller didn’t hit Carson with a rock. She threw a rock from' the shore but missed. Then she waded out in the water and hit Carson lon the head with her fist “as any other loving wife would do.” Mean~ while, Miller said, Carson’s daugh- ter hit him in the back with a three or four pound rock. No doubt the donkey, Dammit, greatly enjoyed the entire spec- tacle. He seems to have come out 6f the fracas without so much as a scratch. Maybe he wasn't even scared. POWER SURVEYS For many years the United States Federal Power Commission, has been making surveys of water power resources in Southeast Al- aska. The two agencies a few years ago published “Water Powers of Southeast Alaska,” a sizeable vol- ume giving detailed information on 200 power sites. A couple of years ago the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation entered the field. It has made some surveys and gone aver much of the same ground covered previously by the Forest Service. Now comes the U. S. Corps of Engineers, which reports that it “will conduct surveys of water re- sources in Southeast Alaska as a part of a comprehensive repert dn riyers, harbors, flood control and power development for the entire Territory.” Who's next?

Conversations that led up to it are his business.” Shoert was asked 'if Bradley had consulted with Mr. Truman as to whether he should answer questions senators put to him yesterday about the conversations. Bradley declined at the time to answer them. Short said he did not know whe- ther the President had talked with Bradley. He added: “They appear to be in complete agreement, don’t they?” Angry Argument In angry argument at the Senate MacArthur hearings a Republican suggested the White House was put- ting an “Iron Curtain” over wit- nesses and got a sharp denial from Gen, Bradley that there was one on him. It was a climactic moment in a session that broke off questioning of Bradley. Finally, Bradley was excused as a witness until next Monday and the senators recessed after agreeing to have a vote at noon tomorrow on whether they should insist that Bradley testify about the conversa- tions with Mr. Truman. Sharp Exchange Near the end, there was a sharp exchange between Senators Know- land and Fulbright. Knowland was the Republican who made the “Iron Curtain” re- mark. Fulbright said he hoped Knowland “has not decided to sabo- tage and discredit the hearings sim- ply because the evidence now being Calls ¢The thinking fellow S PHON 22 OR 14 FOR A YELLOW CAB All Deliveries except those from the Drug Stores are 50¢ a YELLOW* presented does not MacAthur. Knowland said he resented the | )sugge.suun very much, and added: “I am not trying to sabotage this hearing.” Fulbright said Knowland was ex- tremely anxious to get the investi- gation underway “and now. he seems to be threatening to condemn the whole hearing as a whitewash.” support Gen. Drop “Iron Curiain” Knowland ' had ' said Bradley's stand that his talks with Mr. Tru- man were confidential, not to be testified to, raised a qnmlmn whe- ther the White House whs ‘dropping an “Iron Curtain” about witnesses. Bradley, apparently looking on the issue as having political implications, told the senator he was neither a Democrat nor a Republican and had never voted. He added: “Now, the statement has been made here to the effect that an Tron Curtain’ has been pulled down over my testimony. I do not think it has, Chairman. “I have only declined to answer one question on a confidential basis “I am pmfccth willing, as I say. to give what I 'think is pertinent and that is the conclusions reached at those conferences (with the Presi- dent) and I am_ perfectly willing to tell you the reasons advanced by the three Chiefs of Staff when they gave their reasons (for MéacArthur’s dismissal) to General Marshall.” DOUGLAS NEWS GRADUATION THURSDAY The Senior Class of the -Douglas High School announces its Com- mencement - Exercises tomorrow, Thursday evening, May 17 at 8 slearing needs to be done also. aasium.
