Mr ana Mrs Carlson went to the Philippine Is lands to make their home, the 'former having accepted an opportunity in his line in that area. At the outset of the war they were taken prisoners, Mrs Carlson reportedly having been taken at Manila when she was United on hep w'ay back to the States. She was confined in the Santa Tomas prisoner camp on the islands, Mr Carlson later being sent to Japan after internment in camp number ten, having been sent there in December of 1944, according to a letter from Mrs Carlson to her sister, Mrs Ruth :Lashbrook of Gunnison, Colorado, it was revealed in a communication from the latter to a longtime friend of the Carlson family, Mrs Vern T.

A letter reevaling that Mrs Carlson was alive was received from her by Mrs (Lashbrook last month, the communication Ibeing dated February She reported plans to re6, 1945. turn to the United States before long but within a few days her sister received another communication from another relative on the islands stat ing that Mrs Carlson had been in stantly killed as the result of the biulding in which she was located being struck by a Japanese bomb.

The senate considered state :bar association bills for days and then never even gave the house a crack at them. So you'll go on electing judges in the same way, .which is probably all right. The State Publicity and Industrial Development commission will go on doing (business at the same old stand despite the violent if not valient ef forts to kill it in the senate because ot some personal animosities against its personnel. Other miscellany include the granting of funds for a statue of Brigham Young in the national statuary hall in Washington; the construction of a state hospital for child- ren suffering from crippling diseases.

SERVICE HELPER 'Labor won the earliest major fight of the session in getting industry to unite .with them on passage of amendments exending and clarifying under the the benefits extended state industrial compensation and occupational disease acts. This was the outstanding instance of opposing forces getting together on legisla-io- n for the general benefit. The representatives of the people have had their biennial opportunities to make laws. They've made a lot of them. They got mad at one another. They got mad at the governor and his administrators of state departments. They got mad at the lobbyists striving ifor special advantages. But they did also accomplish many things that will 'benefit all the people of tte state. Greatest criticism of their failures would probably be directed at their neglect of post war problems. But the war situation is not right now clear enough to tell what really is best to do. A special session can be called on the morning after that great day of peace. 1.
