Hitchhiker’s Ride
Costs Him $100 In
Fairbanks Court
FAIRBANKS, — <JP) —A hitch
hiker’s boast that he knew a good
bargain—‘'including some gamb
ling equipment”— boomeranged I
yesterday in the court of U.S. Com
missioner Everette Smith.
! The boast was made last Satur
; day night by Edward Campbell,
who didn’t learn until yesterday
that the driver who picked him
up was U.S. Marshal Stanley J.
! Nichols.
| Nichols seized 100 sets of nice
“squeezers” — dice manufactured
to favor certain combinations —
Sunday, and deputies and military
'police trailed Campbell to the civ
iilian camp area at Ladd Field to
.break up a gambling game.
Arrested with Campbell were
Herbert Doss, Gilbert Lane and
! Vern Johnson, all employes of
civilian contractors at Ladd and
Eielson Fields. Campbell was fined
$100 and the other trio $50 each
by Commissioner Smith.
The raid was the second in less
than a week in which games were
broken up in Ladd Field latrines.
Three Fairbanks residents were
fined from $100 to $150 on their
plea of guilty to a charge of run
ning gambling games in the ear
lier raid.
The drive is part of a current
campaign prompted by the warn
ing of Brig. Gen. Dale V. Gaffney
that unless “this wide open towi}’’
; is cleaned up, he will declare the
| city off limits to troops. Gen. Gaf
fney is commanding officer of
; the Yukon Composite Wing with
Headquarters at Ladd Field.

that the blockade be lifted.

There was no indication from i
him or from the Russian embassy |
here as to when the text would be (
published or when some official
word as to the Kremlin’s reaction
would be forthcoming.
The Western Powers have al
ready intimated that a Soviet re
jection would probably cause an
appeal to be made to the United
Nations on the grounds that the
situation is a dangerous one which
requires peaceful solution.
A Soviet acceptance, on the oth
er hand, would ease the situation
at once since it would mean modi
fying or lifting the blockade.
However, best informed offi
cials have felt all along that an
end to the present crisis would
simply mean a lull until some
other incident occurred.
