The 20-year-old soldier, Ferdi

lighted an after-lunch cigarette
for the president. He grinned hap
pily when his flint lighter, worked
on'the first try.
Norse Gets Attention
Another member of the armed
forces singled out by the presi
dent during the day for special
notice was a navy nurse. She was
Lt (jg) Margaret Richards, whose
family, formerly of Baltimore,
now. lives at Woodside, Long
Island, NY. " f
Mr. Roosevelt stopped the line
of inspection tour automobiles in
front of the : .navy .dispensary,
where the blue-uniformed nurses
stood at attention with other offi
cers and men of the hospital unit
Lt Richards, called to the. side
of the president's automobile, an
swered questions concerning oper
ation of the dispensary.
She's Happr There
The president asked her it she
was happy here and she said she
was..
Mr. Roosevelt and his party,
which included Adm. William D.
Leahy, chief of staff to the commander-in-chief,
came north in
one of the navy's cruisers.
The presidential party, in addi
tion to Adm. Leahy, included Vice
Adm. Ross T. Mclntire, the presi
dent's physician; Maj. Gen. Zdwin
U. Watson, military aide, and Rear
Adm. Wilson Brown, naval aide.'
Wears Grey Salt
Mr. Roosevelt, wearing a gray
suit and tan shirt and sweater with
black navy tie, came ashore short
ly, after tugs had brought the crui
ser alongside the dock. His brown
edora hat was turned up in front.
His black Scotch terrier, Fala,
was along.
The Aleutians gave the visitors
sample of weather as usual, of
the milder sort common at this
season fog and rain, driven by
shifting winds and williwaw gusts,
with occasional fleeting sunshine
and ghmpses of blue sky.
rsaed Fereea Tawm Oat
Ignoring the rain and the mud
underfoot, the armed forces turn
ed out in the biggest dress-up day,
of navy blue and army brown, in
the history of the base.
Officially th president's visit
was a secret. But soldiers and sail
ors, instructed to polka up their
areas, guessed ' several days ago
that some one of unusual import
ance was coming.
Some speculated it would be
Mrs. Roosevelt. . .
The doubt was removed far the
thousands of soldiers, sailors, ma

lined the -roads and watched the

Declaring that military men have
shown "unjustified" opposition to
use of surplus materials for civil

(D, NY) announced today a sen

inquiry to determine whether a
scarcity of war materials exists.
In a statement addressed to the
senate, he agreed with the view
expressed Monday by former
Chairman Truman (D, Mo), that
resumption of production of vital
civilian articles had been disap
pointing because of the develop

cause of the vehement objections
of the military."
Mead said the nation does lack

Move Started
To a r GI
yotingLaws
WASHINGTON, Aug: VL-ikt-K
congressional move was started to
day to clarify the soldier voting
law to permit freer circulation of
news, pictures and speeches among
thej troops. - i: iv'l- "
Work was begun on an amend
ment designed to give army and
navy authorities wider discretion.
Under mterpretations f -present
law, the circulation of various
newspapers,' movies, books and
other material is restricted.
In the newest application of the
law, . several hundred thousand
copies of the "Official Guide to the
Army Air Force were banned
from sale at post exchanges. 1 The
ban! was ordered, because the
guides contained a pen portrait of
President l Roosevelt captioned
"Cnmmander in Chief of fee Army
and Navy. ;. - f
"There is a question sat to
whether the-picture violates title
V (of the soldier vote law now
that the president is a candidate,''
said Mat. Gen. Alexander tt. Sur-
les,: chief of army public relations.
As it now stands, rifle V carries
a prohibition against federal dis
tribution of propaganda bearing
on a national election,' and Sartesr
said it was 'difficult for the army
to ibierpret this section. ;
Quick congressional dariflcatian
appeared likely after a conference
among Sen. Taft (R-Ohio, Sen.
Green (D-RI), and army and navy
officers. Green and Taft agreed
on sn. amendment which they said
should overcome all the difficul-
ties thus far encountered.
Under the arnendment the only
limitation to be imposed on" the
circulation of newspapers, maga
zines, books, etc, is that whenever
transportation or other problems
interfere with full distribution, the
choice of publications is to be
made impartially by army-navy
methods. V. I
Otherwise, said Green and Taft,
there is no limit on the number or
kind of newspapers and publica
tions of -general circulation. Brit
ish 1 newspapers, when -available,
could be read by i overseas
men and women, they said,!

Abe Davidson of Port Angeles

He suspected a shark. Howard took
over the line and Davidson gunned

one brief look at the seal as It
surfaced and dived.
The motor couldn't keep up. with
the seaL which towed the boat into
the Dungeness river's' mouth, then

up the fight for the fish and they
