ANG Men Guests
At World Premiere
Of ^Thunderbirds’
Outstanding men of National
Guard units attending annual
training in camp at Fort Richard
son were guests of honor at the
world premiere of Republic mo
tion picture “Thunderbirds, shown
for the first time to the public
anywhere at the Fourth Avenue
Theater in Anchorage Thursday
night.
In a stage program preceeding
the film Mayor Maynard Taylor
of Anchorage extended official
welcome to Guardsmen from
throughout the territory now vis
iting in the city and proclaimed
the day as Alaska National Guard
Day.
Guests from the First Scout
Battalion were Sgt. Simon Push
ruk, Sgt. Joseph Noungmook, Cpl.
Jacob Stalker and Sgt. Aruwed
Brower.
Most of last week was spent in
organization of the camp, firing
on the range, and class work, in
cluding weapons demonstrations.
This week the Guardsmen will
spend most of their time in the
field in tactical problems.
While the weather has been
cold, there has been no snow or
severe temperatures similar to
that expeperienced by Guards
men last year.
“This will probably be our last
large encampment,” Co'l. Larry
Johnson, adjutant general of the
ANG said last week. “Next year
our increased growth will allow
us to hold separate battalion
camps in various parts of the ter
ritory.”
Almost 200 tons of coal are re
quired to make the aluminum
that goes into a B-36 bomber.

Testimony Reveals
Costello Ex-“Boss”
In Tammany Hall
NEW YORK, (/P)—Reputed Un
derworld Boss Frank Costello
emerged Saturday, in state crime
commission testimony, as a man
also once known as “the boss”
around the Manhattan Democratic
organization’s Tammany Hall.
The statement was made Friday
by a former Tammany district
leader as commission witnesses
•and previously - undisclosed rec
ords spun a web of political-un
derworld intrigue stretching from
smoke-filled rooms to court-house
chambers.
I. Daniel Neustein, the former
Tammany leader, said he held the
post from 1941 until 1945 when
he was told: “The boss didn’t want
me any more.” He said “the boss”
reference presumably was to Cos
tello.
Neustein also asserted' it was
“almost common knowledge in
those days that nominations for
the (state) supreme court had to
be paid for.”
Testimony of Thomas (Three
Finger Brown) Luchese, an ex
convict who blossomed into a
wealthy New York garment man
ufacturer, also was read in a
closed session of the commission.
Luchese listed among his ac
quaintances New York City May
or Vincent R. Impellitteri, Lane,
Costello, the deported vice lord,
Charles (Lucky) Luciano, and a
score of others, including politi
cians and underworld figures.
Luchese said Changalian had
introduced him to “Judges Mur
phy and Meaney.” Later testimo
ny identified the two as Federal
Judges Thomas F. Murphy of New
York and Thomas F. Meaney of
Newark.
