James Thurber,
Writer-Humorist Passes
NEW YORK, — James Thur
ber, writer-humorist and cartoon
ist, whose lop-eared dog drawings
put people and events in per
spective, died yesterday at the
age of €6.
Thurber died of pneumonia at
Doctors Hospital after under
going surgery a month ago for a
blood clot on the brain.
A master satirist, with what a
colleague once described as “a
firm grasp on confusion,” Thur
ber delighted millions with his
wit in his books, short stories,
fables, articles, and cartoons.
He never lost his sense of hu
mor, even when he went blind
several years ago. An accident
cost him the sight of one eye when
he was six years old. He lost the
sight of the other eye despite a
long series of cataract operations.

British Honduras to
Move Capital Inland
BHLIZE, British Honduras UP—
Twice destroyed by hurricanes in
three decades, this capital of
British Honduras will be moved
inland 44 miles from the exposed
Caribbean coast to higher ground.
The government announcement
came as the known death toll
from Hurricane Hattie rose to
151, and many more bodies were
feared buried in the mud and
wreckage left by the storm Tues
day.
The rising Belize River threat
ened floods in the city of 30,000,
which bore the brunt of the 200
mile-an-hour winds and tidal
waves that crashed in from the
Caribbean.
Belize counted €2 dead. An esti
mated 75 per cent of the build
ings in the city were destroyed
or damaged. The property de
vastation was greater than the
1931 hurricane that leveled the
city and killed more than 2,000
persons.
The federal government in the
last 8 years collected $53 billion
more in revenue than it did in
the previous 164 years — from
Geor ge Washington through
Harry S. Truman. In those same
8 years it also borrowed — and
spent—an additional $23 billion.

by fire which took one life last
Friday, goes back on the air this
weekend.
The fire, which killed Ade Carl
son, night disc jockey, burned the

tion was located and house trail
ers on either side.
Construction of the new 20 by
30 foot concrete and steel build
ing at the same location, about
seven miles south of Anchorage,
was begun last Saturday in below

had to' be done under a large
canvas “bubble” tent.
Another station, K£NI, lent
KHAR personnel a portable stu
dio trailer to use until they can
move into their new quarters.
New equipment arrived by
plane Wednesday from Camden,

observed, ’the past always lodes
better that it wasjj it’s only
pleasant because it isn't here.”
