Norris was aboard the mother
ship which last December snatch
ed the occupants of a downed C-47
from the frozen crust of the Stew
art River in the Yukon Territory.
Capt. George Accas, New York
City, the navigator, also partici
pated in both rescue operations.
Piloting the C-54 on the mid
night flight were Capt. George
[-C. Wood, Battle Creek, Mich., and
Lt. Richard G. Lind.
Griffin told his rescuers he be
came lost, ran out of gas and then
oyned turtle in his plane in a
forced landing on the island.
The 10th rescue squadron sent
the glider-transport combination
to the scene because the Innoko
River ice was believed too thin to
support even a small rescue plane.
The island was too far from Ladd
Field here to dispatch a helicopter.

In his instructions to the jury,
Judge George W. Folta said that
neither union had been certified
by the national labor relations
board as bargaining representative |
for employees doing the barge
work.
Folta later granted the NLRB a
temporary injunction restraining
the Juneau ILWU from “further
interference with production and
shipment of lumber from the
Spruce corporation mill” pending
a June 20 hearing on an unfair la
bor charge brought against the
union.
“This injunction,” said NLRB
attorney Samuel Ross, “gives as
surance that picketing of the
Spruce corporation will not be re
sumed.”

No Lode Tin Found
On Potato Mt.
WASHINGTON, (£>)—'The bur
eau of mines described today the
war-time exporation of Alaska’s
Potato Mountain tin placer dis
trict, one of the few places on the
North American continent where
tin has ever been mined commer
cially.
The bureau report told of the
production of 1,500 tons of tin
concentrate, prior to 1920, along
Buck Creek near the tip of the
Seward Peninsula.
Production ceased in 1920, but
in June, 1943, the bureau started
further explorations with two
bulldozers and two placer drills.
From June through September,
256 drill-holes were sunk and all
the principal creeks in the dis- j
trict except Red Fox Creek were,
explored by drilling and trench- j
ing.
The bureau’s finding, No lode >
tin of commercial grade has yet i
been found in the area.

Seek Bids For
Fishing Vessel
SEATTLE, (/P) — The fish and
wildlife service Saturday issued a
new invitation to bid on the con
struction of a 93-foot wooden ex
ploratory motor fishing vessel for
use in Alaska. The bids will be
opened May 26.
The fish and wildlife service re
cently rejected as too high all bids
for construction of the vessel and
for the purchase of the 100-foot
tuna-fishing vessel Washington,
now idle at the Lake Washington

The agency said a “wooden ves
sel of the type wanted could be
built at a lower cost than any of
the bids received.”
The bids rejected ranged from
$210,000 to $416,000 and were sub
mitted by shipyards in Seattle,
Tacoma, Astoria, Ore., and Stock
ton, Calif.
