Charles
R.
Settlemeir,
74,
one
of
the
most
widely
known
newspapermen
in
Alaska
and
Yukon,
was
found
dead
In
a
hotel
room
here,
from
heart
attack,
It
Is
assumed.
He
was
Designate
GENTAL
AND
DEBONAIR
Byron
I.
Johnston,
57-year-old
Victoria-born
native
son
of
British
Columbia,
by
the
scantiest
margin
of
delegates'
votes,
has
been
elected
to
the
leadership
of
the
British
Columbia
Liberal
party
in
succession
to
Premier
John
Hart
who
will
submit
his
formal
resignation
as
head
of
the
government
to
the
Lieutenant-Governor
next
week.
The
new
leader
is
also
expected
to
succeed
to
the
Premiership
of
the
Ljberal-Pro-gressive-Conservativo
coalition
government
formed
by
Mr.
Hart
in
15)41.
Mr.
Hart
has
already
stated
that
he
will
present
Mr.
Johnston
to
the
.
Lieutenant-Governor
as
the
Premier-Designate.
The
result
of
the
convention
voting
yesterday-came
as
surprise
to
many
and,
undoubtedly,
as
a
disappointment
to
some.
Numerous
observers
had
thought
that
Mr.
Wismer
would
be
elected
and
some
of
his
supporters
were
exti-emely
confident.
However,
that
is
all
over
now
and,
in
the
best
interests
not
only
of
party
but
of
good
government
in
this
provine'e,
the
loser
and
his
supporters
now
fall
in
line.
The
'choice
has
been
made
along
democratic
lines
after
a
fair
if
keen
campaign
and
the
thing
now
is
to
bet
back
in
step
together
since,
after
all,
support
ami
'Maintenance
of
good
government
is
"
the
consideration
of
prime
importance.
The
untried,
popuiar
and
yet
urbane
Mr.
Johnston
has
been
chosen
over
the
seasoned,
experienced
and
hard-hitting
Mr.
Wismer.
Discussion
of
the
whys
and
wherefors
of
the
choice
of
the
convention
is
neither
appropriate
or
necessary
at
this
time.
The
fact
that
the
vote
was
so
close
and
the
preference
of
the
rank
and
file
of
the
party
so
evenly
divided
makes
it
all
the
more
important
that
they
should
bury
their
differences
now
and
proceed
ahead
together
that
the
Liberal
party
may
continue
in
stature
contributing
its
part
to
a
continuation
of
good
government
in
British
Columbia.
Mr.
Johnston
succeeds

More

Improvements
Considered
i;y
Executive
The
possibility
of
erecting
more
buildings
at
the
Kinsmen
Kiddie
Kamp
at
Lakelse
Lake
was
discussed
by
the
club's
executive
last
night
during
their
regular
meeting,
and
with
the
approval
of
those
present,
President
R.
O.
Moore
asked
the
camp
committee,
consisting
of
George
Dlbb,
R.
E.
Montadori
and
Herbert
Young,
to
prepare
j
a
map
of
the
property
and
to
propose
a
layout
plan
for
the
grounds.
A
letter
from
the
Kinsmen
Club
of
Terrace
gave
assurance
of
co-operation
in
meeting
the
operating
costs
of
the
camp
and
in
supplying
a
certain
amount
of
labor
If
the
need
should
arise.
Questioned
as
to
the
possibility
of
the
road
being
com
pleted
to
the
camp
by
next
summer,
George
Dibb
expressed
his
doubts
although
he
had
been
informed
that
a
trail
had
been
bulldozed
through.
Plans
for
the
initiation
of
two
new
club
members,
Russell
Cameron
and
Bill
Smith,
were
discussed
at
the
meeting.
As
the
next
general
meeting
is
the
legular
evening
of
entertainment,
Sgt.
L.
Potterton
has
been
invited
to
show
the
club
his
ex-cellent
movies
taken
in

area.
Pinal
arrangements
were
made
for
the
Kinsmen

party
to
be
held
in
the

on
December
23.
It
is
expected
that

GRIGGS
CLEARS
UP
A
MYSTERY
-
The
mystery
of
John
Griggs,
'
supposedly
the
author
of
a
Paris
newspaper
report
that
th,e
Russians
had
exploded
a
small
atom
bomb
In
Siberia,
was
more
or
less
solved
by
none
other
than
the
author
himself.
John
Griggs
(above),
was
the
official
"Voice
of
America"
for
the
office
of
war
information
for
five
years
and
who
five
times
daily
broadcast
to
Europe
by
short
wave
transmitters
and
by
transmitters
of
the
British
government's'
BBC,
said
that
since
the
people
of
Europe
knew
his
name
as
an
American
author,
It
would
be
easy
for
the
Russians
to
use
his
name
to
attract
readers
to
a
story
that
they
would
like
the
world
to
believe.
Hence,
they
attached
his
name
to
the
"A"
bomb
report.
