MORMON CHURCH
PRESIDENT DIES
IN UTAH HOME
SALT LAKE CITY. May 15 —
Heber J. Grant often said • Work
never killed anyone.”
The colorful, white-bearded Presi
dent. cf the Latter-Day Saints
■ Mermom Church died last night
after 62 years of church service,
ne was 88.
Outspokenly opposed to retire
ment of men at the ages of 60 or
65, he himself worked long hours
daily after he passed 80. Illness
during the past five years lorced
him to slow down.
Death was attributed to causes
incident to age. His family and
church authorities were at his bed
side in the Hillside home which
overlooked the Utah Capital City
in which he was born.
Grant was appointed to the
church's Council of Twelve Apostles
—its governing body—at the age of
25. He became Council President in
1916 and Church President two
years later.
He served as president and or
ganizer cf the church’s Japanese
Mission and as President of the
European Mission.
In 1936 he authorized organiza
tion by the church of a welfare
program designed to remove Mor
mons from public relief rolls. It still
is in effect, operating farms, fac
tories and warehouses in several
western states.
Seventh president of the church,
founded in New York Slate m 1830,
Grant served longer than any other
except Brigham Young, who led the
Mormons on their trek from Illi
nois to Utah in 1847.
Noted for his witty remarks, he
once offered this marriage advice:
"First, find the girl with whom
you can live in perfect harmony
and good will. Second, let her do
as she pleases."
His widow and nine daughters
survive.

NAVY ANNOUNCES
CUTS PLANNED AS
JAPAN COLLAPSES
WASHINGTON. May 15—Tenta
tive Navy plans call for cutting
the nation's mighty battle fleet
"at least 30 per cent" after Japan's
collapse, Fleet Admiral Ernest J.
King has informed the Senate Ap
propriations Committee.
King said, however, a report of
hearings on a Naval appropriations
bill released today discloses, that
before final postwar Navy plans are
completed "we must know what the
national policy is to be for the
defense of the United States, for
the defense of the Western Hemi
sphere. and what commitments the
United States may have in respect
to the maintenance of world peace."
King told the committee that the
Navy desired to keep only those
ships "that will have real combat
value,” adding the Navy was con
cerned that it' be tailed upon to
maintain too many ships for the
postwar Navy.”
Navy Secretary James Forrestal
Indicated that the ships to be
scrapped probably would include
many which were worn out in op
erations.
Forrestal said he would "guess"
the Japanese have 4.000 effective
Planer, while King asserted the
Japanese have about 20 large de
stroyers left and not all of those
were operating. They did not tes
tily on other enemy categories.
The carabao, or water buffalo, is
-he national beast of burden in the
Philippines.

BIG CATCH OF
SEALSKINS IS
DUE THIS YEAR
WASHINGTON,' May 15 — The
United States hopes to take 75,000
or more sealskins this year ui seal
ing operations starting on the
pribilof Islands about June 25.
Dr. Ira N. Gabrielson, Director
of the Interior Department's Fish
and Wildlife Service, said today
that only 48,000 skins were taken
last year. He said that this was
due in part to the fact that many
or the seals reached their northern
rockeries too late for their pelts to
be in prime condition.
As of late August, the Pribilct
seal herd numbered slightly less
than 3,000,000 animals, more than
80 per cent of all the fur seals in
the world, the department said.
Under an international agreement
the herd is managed exclusively by
the United States and proceeds arc
apportioned between the U. S. and
Canada. The United States receives
80 per cent and Canada 20 per
cent of the furs taken.
ST. LOUIS, May 15—A 30-man
expedition to conduct sealing op
erations in the Pribilof Islands in
the Bering Sea will leave here in
June, the Fouke Fur Company has
announced.
The men will remain in the is
lands two months and all opera
tions are under the protection of
the armed forces.

HEALTH PROGRAM,
LYNN CANAL AREA,
IS NOW COMPLETED
Mobile Unit Vessel, Those
in Charge, Return to
Juneau After Trip
The Iu»t neaicn program in the
Lynn Canal district lias been com
pleted by the medical staff of the
mobile health unit vessel Hy Gene,
according to Dr. N. Berneta Block,
physician-in-ch»rge. The Hy Gene
returned to its Juneau headquarters
Sunday.
More than 100 chest X-rays were
made of the residents of Haines
and Klukwan, and a large program
:f immunizations was carried out.
At Skagway, immunizations were
given pre-school and school chil
.hildren who had not been reached
i>y previous clinics held locally.
"The program could not have
seen carried out successfully with
out the cooperation of the teachers,
:he superintendents of the mission
louses, the townspeople, the Army
personnel and those who received
iervice," Dr. Block said.
At several of the ports the staff
nembers were able to render em
Tgency medical services to persons
vho were ill or injured at the time,
they were requested to do much
nore remedial w'ork than was in
ended when the unit was estab
ished.
"It was not surprising in at least
me community that some of the
leople objected strenuously because
he staff did not stay and practice
nucli more medicine,” Dr. Block
aid.
"It is quite natural for people to
hink that with a doctor and nurses
is well as equipment in the com
nunity. that they should be avail
ible for use, and they are within
ertain limitations.
"If we were allowed to practice
nedicinc it would not only infringe
1 the practitioners who have
erved the community for some
ime, but what is more important,
nteifere with the paramount ob
ective of the unit, which is the
irevention of disease.
"The services of the staff will
lways be available to the sick and
njured persons in the community,
>ut only on an emergency basis,
Vc and they must always realize
hat prevention of disease and acci
lents is more important and
impler than cure."
