Liberty Launch
Sinks; 15 Drown
HYERES, France i/P)—A liberty
launch carrying a party of U. S.
sailors from the Riviera to the
Carrier Midway was swamped
yesterday, and French sources
said up to 15 men were reported
drowned.
• The French press agency said
15 bodies had been recovered.
(In London, the U. S. navy said
eight men were "unaccounted for"
in figures still subject to revision*.
The accident occurred as the
sailors were returning from a r;v
iera party to their ship, anchored
near one of the Hyeres Islands off
the southern coast of France, mid
way between Marseille and Can
nes. Heyeres is 10 miles east of
Toulon.
The Midway, which the United
States has maintained in the Med
iterranean for several months, was
paying a courtesy call to the
French Riviera.
The navy department in Wash
ington announced last month that
the Midway was to be withdrawn |
from Mediterranean duty about
March 15 and replaced by the,
27,000-ton carrier Philippine Sea.
The Midway, the announcement
said, is to undergo extensive al
terations, including strengthening
of their flight deck to accommo
date heavier planes.
It was from the Midway last
September that a 15-ton V-2 rock
et was fired—the first such
launching from aboard a ship.

Fairbanks Looks
For Tourist Boom
SEATTLE (/P)—Fairbanks, bust
ling city in the "golden heart of
Alaska,” will see a bigger tourist
boom this summer than ever be
fore.
Frank B. Camp, veteran Alaska
newspaperman, advertis ng man
ager of Jessen’s Weekly at Fair
banks, believes.
‘‘I’ll admit that it takes money
to get started,” Campbell said yes
terday, "but I still say Alaska of
fers a greater opportunity to a
young man now than ever before
in its history.
“The tourist trade is just an ex
ample—you could mention a’most
any kind of business—but it’s a
good example. Why, already, a
single airline is preparing to fly
10,000 tourists from Great Falls,
Mont., to Fairbanks this summer.
"There’ll be thousands of others
coming by auto.”
Mrs. John Muller and four chil
dren arrived from Teller to make
their home in Nome, and to enter
the children in the Nome school.

and the enforcement of regula
tions set up by the Territorial
Board of Liquor Control” and for
mulation of additional City Ordin
ances to cope with the liquor sit
uation in Nome.
The resolution also asks that
the Nome City Council should in
dicate to the licensed retail liquor
establishments involved “that it
existing conditions do not im
prove, an enraged citizenry may
resort to petitioning the Territori
al Board of Liquor Control for a
referendum to vote on local op
tion.”
It is stated in the resolution that
the action was deemed necessary
when it was learned that 'Colum
bia Broadcasting Co. made record
ings last week on the subject, for
