FANNY MAY RETURNS
(Daily Alaska Empire)
The. restoration of the Federal National Mortgage
Association service to Alaska should give a tremendous
boost to home building throughout the territory. This
is an important development which will assure contin
ued expansion of the home construction industry.
The return of Fanny May, as it is more commonly
known, should give encouragement to those who have
been stymied in their plans to purchase new homes.
Without this service, Alaska banks have been unable to
make home loans because of their limited capitalization.
Home building ground* to a stop when Fanny May was
withdrawn last year; now it should begin picking up
speed again.
The return of Fanny May will encourage people
to stake their future here. This is good. Alaska needs
not so much more people as it does more permanent
residents. Nothing is more permanent than the family
which owns its own home.
The return of Fanny May should encourage those
who plan big things in the way of industrial develop
ment here. The knowledge that Fanny May paves the
way for a stabilized labor force will encourage capital
to make the plunge.
Governor Heirrtzleman deserves loads of credit
for the return of Fanny May. He worked long and hard
while in Washington this year to overcome the resis
tance which had sprung up to restoring this service.
But the governor demonstrated persistence and courage
in fighting for what he wanted, spurred on by the
knowledge of how important home building is to devel
opment in this country.
Now that Fanny May is back, let us hope Alaskans
.avail themselves of the service. Let us look for a new
spurt in home construction.
UNLIMITED PROGRESS—IF!
In the view of Clem D. Johnston, president of the
United States Chamber of Commerce, pioneering is
just beginning in America. As an example, he pointed
out that American enterprise is spending nearly $4,000,
000 a year on research, and said that this is providing
today’s young people with opportunities “far greater
than the western frontier ever provided for oUr grand
parents.”
He then added a warning—that, if we are to fulfill
our potential, we must “rid ourselves of this welfare
state philosophy of giving everyone, regardless of how
much work he does or how well he does it, an equal
share of everything.”
There can be no progress, material or otherwise,
unless men can reap and enjoy the fruits of achieve
ment.
TIME—FOR DEFENSE
Switzerland now has about 83 percent of the Am
erican watch market. The top military people have
warned that, in the interest of national defense, what
remains of our own watch industry must be preserved
and protected. Secretary of Defense Wilson recently
said a study showed that “the entire horological indus
try was essential to the mobilization base.”
The reason is that the precision parts we find in
watches also are required in the manufacture of timing
devices used in modern weapons—A-bombs, Nikes,
fighting planes, and so on. One B-36 has 3,000 jeweled
bearings in its instruments.
All of us would do well to think of this when we
buy watches. It’s vital that we keep our watchmakers
at their benches.

Men Bitten by Big Snake
And Black Widow Spider
ASHEVILLE, N.C., LTV—A black
widow spider and a boa constric
tor got in their licks against the
human race Sunday, sending two
men to an Asheville hospital in
separate cases.
Cecil B. Pettitt said he was
washing his car barefooted when
a black widow spider bit his toe.
A doctor rushed 80 miles an hour
with a police escort to treat Pet
titt, who v/ill be in the hospital
three days.
Kenneth Sexton, an employe of
the Parkway Zoo near here, was
bitten by the boa constrictor,!
which usually hugs its victims
into submission. Sexton said he
was holding the snake when a boy
squeezed the snake’s tail. The boa
reacted by biting Sexton three
times on the hand. Doctors said
the bites weren’t serious.

Alert Cop Spots “Most
Wanted” Person Working
As Ambulance Attendant
NEW YORK, Uf) — A 56-year
old Ohio murderer, who strolled
away from an honor dormitory at
the Columbus penitentiary last
November, was recaptured here
last night because a sharp-eyed
cop thought his face seemed fam
iliar.
The fugitive, Patrick Eugene
McDermott, had been working as
an ambulance attendant at Jew
ish Memorial Hospital under the
name “Steve Garish.”
Several times since his peni
tentiary escape McDermott had
been jailed on minor offenses.
No suspicion about his true
identity was aroused until last
Monday when Patrolman Harold
Pogeweit happened to accompany
McDermott’s ambulance to the
hospital in connection with a case.
Something about the amulance
attendant’s face kept haunting the
officer. Finally he went to his
stationhouse and started looking
thrugh the “wanted” circulars.
In short order he confirmed his
suspicions, for McDermott was on
the FBI’s list of the 10 “most
wanted” persons.
Arraigned on a fugitive charge
in magistrate’s court today, Mc
Dermott said through court-ap
pointed counsel that he would
fight attempts to take him back
to Ohio.
