M/S KOTZEBUE RETURNS
AFTER HAZARDOUS TRIP
The M/S Kotzebue, long over
due, arrived in the roadstead yes
terday after a hazardous and
gruelling trip—one which Capt.
Jack Bullock will long remember.
The Kotzebue was frozen in
Snake River for the winter and
left the harbor this spring as soon
as navigation was open, to pick
up three barges of oil at Dutch
Harbor to be delivered to several
stations north of Nome.
Ordinarily the weather is good
during the period when the ice is
leaving Bering Sea, and calm seas
prevail. However, the Kotzebue
ran into foul weather all along
the way and was battered con
tinuously from the time it took on
its tow. One barge was lost it is
reported and the other two are in
bad condition.
U. S. Commissioner Ted Duf
field advises that 1950 hunting
and fishing licenses are now avail
able at his office.

Nears Completion
SEATTLE, oP)—The new motor
vessel North Star, destined for the
Alaska Native Service, is nearing
completion at Todd Shipyards

Coastal Rider, will replace the

cargo for the Point Barrow expe

Native Service.
Capt. Charles H. Salenjus and
the old North Star crew will take
over the new vessel. Conversion
of the Coastal Rider began May
26 at a coast of around S750,000.i

Ex-Premier Of
Spain Passes On
MADRID, Spain i/P>—Alejandro
Lerroux, 113. five times premier of
Republican Spain, died early this
morning.
The family announced that Ler
roux, who had proclaimed his ag
nosticism throughout his life, re
turned to the Catholic Church and
received the sacrement on his
deathbed. He will be buried in
Madrid’s Catholic cemetery.
Lerroux was reported ill in Lis
bon, Portugal, in 1941. He had
been in exile there since the civil
war. In 1947 Generalissimo Fran
co gave him permission to return
to Spain. A life-long Republican
he had been exiled several time>
by King Alfonso XIII. Each time
he returned, his power as chief of
the radical Republican party grew
greater.
Lerroux was as strongly oppos
ed to socialism and communism
as he was to the monarchy, and
for this reason left-wing groups
prevented his election as president
of the Republic after the throne
was overturned in 1931.
