Leaves for Greece
PARIS IjP)—Secretary of state
George C. Marshall left Saturday
morning for A.hens, a U.S. spokes
man said he will check on Ameri

Greece has asked further Amer
ican aid to maintain an army
large enough to beat rebel forces
operating along the Yugoslav and

This will be Marshall’s first

Passengers Ride
i Free To Seattle
I
FAIRBANKS, (/P) — Alaska’s
non-schedule airlines’ rate-cutting
war has hit rock bottom.
Fifteen passengers boarded a
Lavery Airway plane Friday for
a fight to Seattle—free.
The company advertised free
; transportation for the first 15
travelers arriving at its office. La
very officials said “the unusually
low rate” Fairbanks-Sea’tle rates
j of rival lines, from a fairly uni
form tariff around $100 plus tax
to as low as $60, caused the offer.
Lavery isn’t figuring on making
a habit of free passage.

Swiss Freeze Wages
And Living Costs
BERN, (/P)—The Swiss govern
ment has adopted the principle
that there shall be no living costs
and salary increases before the
end of October, 1948.
The action was intended to ar
rest an inflationary tendency.
Among a series of exceptions
was one that permitted wage in
creases in cases where it was nec
essary, to re-establish the pre-war
■ real wages in relation to the cost
i of living.

Displays Watches
In Seattle
SEATTLE (/P)—Walter D. “Doc”
Thompson of Nome, Alaska, has
all kinds of time on his hands.
“Doc” appeared in Seattle yes
terday with his fabulous watch
collection, which he has been
showing at fairs in California on
his first sta'eside visit in 28 years.
Thompson, 49, displayed 43
unique watches. He had one that
was made in Dublin in 1700, an
other from Nueremberg, Germany,
dated 1710. Both were running.
Another watch flew over the north
pole in Edmundson’s dirigible. He
had a Swiss Tiffany, made before
that company shifted its headquar
ters to New York.
In short, “Doc” had every kind
of watch down to the garden vari
ety of Ingersoll.
It is a hobby with him. By trade
“Doc” is a Nome store owner and
"optician to the Eskimos.” He
makes eye glasses for "every na
tive north of Nome.”
"Doc” will leave Seattle soon
for his northland home, where he
l intends to dog team in to Jade
Mountain, some 240 miles north
east of Kojtzebue.
