Fairbanks Jobless
Reach Record High
(Continued from Page One^
skilled or semi-skilled workers,
but several skilled workers and
craftsmen also are on the list.
Further deterioration of the job
situation is seen in the threatened
strike of Fairbanks mine workers
against the U. S. Smelting Com
pany, scheduled to come off Jul;
1. Although the union claims
about 200 members, it is estim
ated that double that number
would be thrown out of work.
Union members will vote to
night whether to accept an agree
ment, reached by union officers
and Fairbanks city officials, t
keep the mining company power
plant operating at sufficient capa
city to prevent! interruption of the
city’s electric service. Fairbanks
is partially dependent on the out
put of mining corcerns for its do
mestic power supply.
If the union membership fails
to ratify the agreement, all but a
small business area of the city
will be without electricity. How
ever, Frank Angerman, union or

Search For Plane;
Undercarriage Lost
In Stunting
ANCHORAGE, 0*)—An old yel
low’ Waco biplane which lost its
under-carriage colliding with a
ship in the Kenai river was sought
through stormy skies by 10th res
cue squadron aircraft today.
The plane was piloted by Tom
Maloney, Jr.. 26, of Anchorage,
whose father is w'ell known in the
Territory as the Alaska Steamship
Co., agent here.
Young Maloney, a Kenai can
nery employee, left Kenai at 10
p.m., Monday bound for Anchor
age. Stunting, he collided with
the ship, then soared away. He
had one passenger aboard.
The Anchorage police and fire
department stood by at Merrill
Field late Monday after being
alerted by the civil aeronautics
a d m i nistration that Maloney’s
plane was damaged and a crash
landing was imminent. The CAA
also wired that Maloney had taken
off without tower clearance.
The plane reportedly carried a
90-minute fuel supply and last
was seen heading for Anchorage.
When the plane did not arrive,
the 10th rescue squadron sent a
plane aloft for four hours, and at
3:30 a.m.. two others relieved it
on its return. Search was ham
pered by poor flying weather and
limited visibility.
