kwim.
Through the fine co-operation
of the Port Commander, Col. Leo
pold Hoffinger of the U. S. army,
and the Lomen Commercial Co.,
who furnished transportation for
setting and rigging of the shrimp
traps, several attempts were made
to get the shrimp which are
known to exist here, however for
any of several reasons the ven'ure
was not successful. Mr. Wigutoff
indicated that it might be an off
season, or the mesh of the traps
was wrong, or the bait wasn’t
right or for other reasons the
shrimp were not available at this
time.
He stated that the equipment!
has been left with the Lomen |
Commercial Co., and anyone in- j
ten ded is welcome to use the i
traps as long as a report of the1
findings is made to the depart
ment. and if shrimp are found that
frozen samples be sent to the lab
oratory.
Mr. Wigutoff, who specializes
in the marketing of fish, sees no
reason, he stated for not making
a concerted effort to catch and
market frozen King crab as a -pe
cialty item, profitably after a
method is worked out for catch
ing the crab in the winter.
Apparently the king crab exist
all the way from Diomede Island
to Shaktoolik.
Before returning to the labora
tory at Ketchikan Mr. Wigutoff
■and Mr. Carlson will visit in Fair
banks, Anchorage. Cordova and
Juneau.

Air Force Plans
Boml>er Refueling
In Arctic
(Continued from Page One*
North American continent, in
Greenland or elsewhere in the far
north. There the bomber would
"top off” its fuel tanks (fill them
to capacity*. That would carry the
intercontinental bomber to the
target and back to the staging base
or to friendly territory beyond
enemy territory.
Strategists say the advantages
of such Arctic staging bases would
include:
• A* Operation of forward air
fields with a minimum of person
nel and equipment. Only refueling
equipment would be needed.
There would be no hanger or ma
jor repair facilities. The number
of men required would be small.
»B* At no time would there.be
a concentration of big bombers at
the forward fields <as there would
be if they were major airdromes*
to present a profitable target for
any enemy air raid.
<C* The striking reach of the
smaller B-29’s and B-50’s, as well |
as the B-36. could be extended.
False Arrest Brings
Huge Damage Suit
—
LOS ANGELES, Operatic
soprano Vivian Della Chiesa hit
a high note in anger as she filed a
$500,000 damage suit charging
false arrest.
The singer, taken into custody
on a warrant obtained- by Concha
V. Savage for an alleged unpaid
debt, told the court Friday it was
the same old case of mistaken
identity.
Two years ago the singer suc
cessfully maintained in court that
she was not the Miss Della Cmiesa,
also known as Vraie Diva, to
whom Miss Savage, a former voice
teacher, loaned money 25 years
ago. She obtained a restraining
order against further prosecution.
Superior court here ruled that
any further action against Miss
Della Chiesa would be construed
as contempt of court.
She contends she was taken
from her hotel and forced to make
i
bail to -avoid being locked up in
county jail.
An old maid is like a fisherman
—they both tell about the ones
that got away.
