SEATTLE, (#>—A third iron

Charles A. Fowler,
Kuskokwim Pioneer,
Dies At Sitka “Home”
The Pioneers Home lost one of
its most highly respected and well
loved residents when Charles A.
Fowler passed away on August 1,
at the age of 81 years.
He was born in Gilroy, Calif.,
on May 2, 1873, and came to Alas
ka in 1900. For several years he
prospected in the Nome and Kus
kokwim area, and in 1908 estab
lished a trading post on the site
of the present village of Takotna.
Here he traded with the prospec
tors and miners as they left the
Takotna River to push over the
trail to Ophir where the big strike
had been made.
His was the interesting and ex
citing life of a true Pioneer, and
his name is closely connected with
the history and development of
the Kuskokwim area. Although
he was 80 years of age when he
entered the Home, he was very
alert and spent many happy hours
entertaining residents and guests
of the Home with tales of the
early gold rush days.

Employment Security
Group Have Odd Number
Witness Recommends
KETCHIKAN, UPI—A witness
recommended Friday at a hearing
of a divisional committee of the
Alaska Legislative Council that
the membership of the Employ
ment Security Commission be
changed to an odd number, in
stead of the present four, to pre
vent tie votes.
Victor Guns, Ketchikan city
manager, said the present system
is detrimental to present and fu
ture industries in Alaska. He
asked that the legislature also fix
a formula by which the commis
sion would determine the season
ality question.
Guns also recommended crea
tion of an office of territorial fire
marshal and enabling legislation
to create port authorities without
fiscal independence.
Proposing the cities be given
some jurisdiction over juveniles,
Guns told the committee the pres
ent disposition of offenses by the
Territorial Welfare Department is
ineffective. He also Advocated
several smaller detention homes
in the territory rather than the
one large institution which has
been suggested.
90 Russian Subs
In Pacific Area,
Admiral Estimates
TOKYO, UR—The Russian Navy
may have as many as 90 submar
ines in the Pacific area, ViceAdm.
William Callaghan, commander of
U.S. Naval forces in the Far East,
estimated last week. '
“These submarnies definitely
would be a threat to maintaining
sea lines of communication,” said
the tall, grey-haired admiral,
whose job would be to fight them
in the event of war with the So
viets.
“Russia has a total of 375 sub
marines,” Callaghan said in an
interview, “and we feel it would
be reasonable to expect that one
quarter of them are in the Paci
fic.”
He estimated the Russian Paci
fic fleet also has 50 destroyers
and two cruisers, but no aircraft
carriers or battleships.
