Mattila Meets His •
Wife In Seattle
SEATTLE, — (/P) —Lauri W.
Mattila, 63-year-old miner from
Nome, Alaska, and his wife, Tyyne
43, of Hankasalmi, Finland, were
“honeymooning" today. They were
married in Hankasalmi in Nov
ember 1946. He has been living
since then in Nome and she in
Finland.
“After we were married I had
to get back to work in Nome,
but I didn’t want her to arrive
in Alaska in the middle of the
winter.” Mattila explained. “Also
it took too long to get her a pass
port.”
But, it’s springtime in Alaska
now and Mrs. Mattila long ago
got her passport. She arrived at
Boeing Field yesterday, and was
greeted by her proud husband.
They will leave April 15 for
Nome where Mattila will resume
work with the U.S. Smelting Re
fining and Mining Company.
Their romance started in 1946
when Mattila was visiting relatives
in Hankasalmi.
“Actually, I’ve known her al
most all her life, as I lived with
her parents when I was a young
ster," Mattila said.
Mattila came to the U. S. in
1903 and has lived in Alaska for
43 years.

Thomas J. Carlin, Hudson
County commander of the CWV,
first to appear to picket, said he
would not withdraw his pickets
this time in a fight to the finish
against shipment of war-poten
tial goods to the Soviet Union.
Two gangs of stevedores of the
International Longshoremen’s As
sociation (AFL>, totaling 62 men,
respected the CWV picket lines
and did not go to work loading
the vessel.
Carlin said the pickets would
continue “until either the Red
ships leave the port or the gov
ernment does something to put an
immediate stop to these exports.”
The CWV drew nationwide at
tention to the Soviet-bound ship
