Anchorage Tot Fatally
Burned While Playing
Near Trash Fire
ANCHORAGE, UP)—Despite the
desperate efforts of his mother to
save him, 4-year-old Jimmy Lee
was burned fatally Sunday when
his clothes caught fire while he
was playing too near some burn
ing trash.
The youngster was the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Keith Lee, who lives
in the suburban Sand Lake area.
Mrs. Lee burned her hands se
verely in beating out the flames
enveloping her son. But it was
too late. He died an hour later in
an Anchorage hospital.
The distraught mother, still
unable to give a coherent account
of what happened, said she had
started a trash fire and then went
around the house to hang up a
wash, leaving Jimmy to play with
two older brothers.
She heard screams, dashed back
and found her son afire beside
the burning trash.
Mrs. Keith is the former Emma
Davidovic of Kotzebue.

businessmen from Alaska an

tallest apartment house in sunny
Hawaii.

cated in tourist-crowded Waikiki.

been made to feel very much at
home.”

project were P.A. Johnson, presi
dent of the Bank of Fairbanks;
C. M. Wells, president of the All
Alaska Chamber of Commerce; R.
O. Hoitt, Wilbur Walker and

Americans Asked
To Aid E. Germans
With Clothes Gifts
WASHINGTON, UR —President
Eisenhower asked the American
people today to contribute winter
clothing through private organiza
tions for the people of Soviet
occupied East Germany.
The move follows up the Presi
dent’s earlier gift of food for the
East Germans.
The White House made public
■an exchange of letters between
Eisenhower and Chancellor Aden
auer of West Germany.
Adenauer’s letter, dated Aug.
30, appealed to the United States
for warm clothing for the popu
lation of East Berlin and the re
mainder of Eastern Germany.
Eisenhower replied in a letter
dated Monday that he would
bring the Chancellor’s appeal to
the attention of the American
people “knowing that they will
contribute generously to the or
ganizations which will undertake
to provide such clothing and other
required and related items.”
Anchorage Bankers
Expect Good Business For
Several Years, At Least
WASHINGTON, UR — Alaskans
expect good business for several
years at least, Mrs. W. C. Cuddy,
member of the board and former
secretary of the First National
Bank, Anchorage, said on arriving
here this week for the American
Bankers’ Association convention.
“We have observed some tight
ening of credit,” she aded, “but
in our community it is offset by
steady growth of population. Re
tail business is booming and con
struction is strong. We are con
tinuing to gain by leaps and
bounds, principally because of the
two big military installations, El
mendorf Air Force Base and Fort
Richardson.
“We figure we will continue to
grow as we have for at least sev
eral years more. So business will
remain good.”
Eisenhower Urges Bankers
To Seek Policies “Sound
For All Americans”
WASHINGTON, UPl— President
Eisenhower urged the American
Bankers Association Tuesday to
seek policies that are “sound for
all Americans—not for just one
class, group or segment, but for
all.”
The President received a tre
mendous ovation of applause,
whistles, and cheers from the
3,800 bankers and their wives who
filled Constitution Hall for his
brief message of welcome to their
convention.
He thanked them for “splendid
work in helping to sell and dis
tribute the government’s savings
bonds to all people.”
“With more than 40 million peo
ple owning more than 50 billion
dollars worth of bonds, we know
there is still an incentive and a
determination to save—an incen
tive that is responsible for so
many good things we enjoy,” Eis
enhower said.

What would happen
after you struck oil?
This. Anyone who’s ever owned a piece of prop
erty has day-drehmed about striking oil. It
could happen—and if it did, what next? Do
you go shopping for yachts? Not if you want
to develop your well into an oil field by your
self. You’d have to stake your commodore’s
hat and plenty more to build up a producing
field. It’s a tough and risky job even for
Standard Oil Company of California. Only one
wildcat well out of every 44 ever develops into
a commercial oil field ... and the cost of finding
out can rim into millions of dollars. Standard
is able to do this because it is owned by more
than 115,000 shareholders, each of whom bears
part of the cost. Both small and large com
panies are essential to the oil business, but
companies like Standard bring together the
money, manpower and skill required to find
and build up a big oil field. In developing one
field Standard invested years of time and mil
lions of dollars in drilling, production, con
struction, maintenance teams—and the work
is still going on. Indeed, your dream-well could
lead to a yacht...
But first, here’s part of the bill for bringing an
oil field into production. It’s a good example of
how a big oil company works for you. Over the
years, Standard has invested in more than 200
such fields to bring you the oil you need. Ques
tions or comments about our Company are wel
come. Write: Standard Oil Company of California,
