Tru- What actually happencd was tha Congressman M:xGuire, a Der crat, called at the White House with other Commerce Committee, and after- ward stayed behind to talk to the President about sending an ambas- to the Vatican. Mr. Truman had this under consider some time but has been under orous political pressure Protestants on one side and Cath- olics on the other. The President listened carefully to McGuire, then j iy remar that when he did appoint an Am-| bassador to the Vatican he would give McGuire the Rosary conces- sion. McGuire was amused and repeat- ed the remark to several peopl among them journalist Al Stein- berg, who was doing a series of | magazine articles on the White House. While at the White House preparing his series, Steinberg mentioned the remark to a Presi- dential assistant whec both pooh- poohed the story and almost hit the ceiling. It was after this, and apparently | to cover up any misinterpretation that might be given to his remark, that the President was urged by hi. aides to write a letter to Congress- man McGuire, which read: “Dear John: Your suggestion | about a representative at the Vat- ican and a good business in rosar. ies gave me a good laugh.” Note—President Truman, a Bap- tist, has been criticized by some Protestants for appointing more Catholics to the cabinet than other President in histo ney General Howard McGra retary of Labor Maurice Tobin, Secretary of Navy Francis M: thews.

By contaminating y objectives with radioact- it would be possible to an objective without Kkill- conguer ing a single person or destroying a single building. The radioactive dose could be made as deadly as desired. In other words, the dose could be made light enough so that it would | have to be absorbed by the civilian pulation for three or four days before causing death. This would give enemy civilians- plenty of time to clear out, and the advancing army could move in as soon as the radioactivity wore ‘oif. Radioactive contamination could | also be used to halt a ground at- | tack down a narrow neck of land, | such as Korea. This could be ac- | complished by spreading & stronger \dose and creating a radioactive | no-man’s land into which no sol- dier could advance withoui certain death, Processes have already been de- veloped to produce these radioac- |tive rays independent of the at- omic bomb. However, the same ef- | fect could also e achieved by ex- | ploding an atomic bomb under- ground. This would contaminate | the ground, and create a radioac- tive no-man’s land. The effect *|would be that of an atomic mine {which, if exploded in the face of an advancing army, should be able ! |to halt the advance cold. \ To test this principle, under- (ground atomic explosions are al- ready scheduled on the barren Al- eutian Islands. Texas Lawyer It is a rare thing for a Texan! to admit of an inferiority complex in any form. However, Mastin G. White, the solicitor of the Interior | Department, coqfesses to a slight iuneas‘ness every time he enters a certain office building in Washing- ton. White, a native of Tyler, Texas, | has a close friend, Norman Morri- sson, formerly of El Paso, whose | law offices are in the Union Trust Building. Once, when Morrisson's wife and young daughter, Mary | Helen, were taking the elevator to his ofiice, Mary Helen suddenly ex- claimed: “Mother, do you know that Mr. White can't visit daddy in this building?” | “Nonsense.” said Mrs. Morrisson. i“Why not?” Pointing to a sign in the elevator, the little girl replies Well, it says very plainly there—'No solicitors al- lowed.

DEMAND,- HIGH PRICES SPUR 10O ASBESTOS MiNING _Current national demand and ac- companying high market prices should spur further exploration and development work on chysotile and tremolite asbestos deposits in the Kobuk river region anrc elsewhere in the Territory, it is reported by the Alaska Development Board. More than 30 large asbestos man- ufacturing concerns, interested in developing new sources of supply, have contacted the Board during the past month regarding possibil- ities of purchasing asbestos or de- veloping deposits in the Territory. A New Jersey company now is considering plans to explore exten- sively the Kobuk river region from which has come the only commer- cial production of asbestos in Al- aska. Small shipments, aggregating about 45 tons, were made from the region in 1944-45, bringing prices which ranged as high as $1000 per\ ton. Occurances of asbestos also have been noted in the Salcha and Tol- ovana districts, the Timber Creck region near Tok Junction, the Mnl’-l o o AR e R b I o o ol Sl A S S THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA MAY 19, 1931 e SATURDAY, N MOUNT JU AU I JCOND and FOURTH | Monday of each month |in Scottish Rite Te beginning at 7:30 p. e Thb (e = [ _‘3’ w LLI.;‘RS Secrehry‘ . . : MrsM';mep e b Canners in Icy Straits, Cross Sound and Chatham Straits areas q‘; .

The author is Knud Mogen- | sen, a Copenhagen anthropologist, ; who has been working on the book for two years to make it possible for all English-speaking people to learn the most necessary Danish words. The book contains 3,000 Danish words, in three chapters, each of 1,000 words. A foreigner can easily get along in Denmark if he masters the first chapter. If he can learn 2,000 words he can carry on a con- versation with an average Dane. Ithe thumb and forefinger. at the Arcade Cafe and a trip to the glacier, on the midnight ferry.
