“Gorgeous Gussie— Moran, who
got an editorial spanking for
wearing black panties in an inter
national tennis tournament here
Friday, won the championship
Saturday — wearing tradition a 1
white ones.
She whipped Mrs. Heraldo
Weiss of Argentina, 6-2, 6-3, to
run her string of singles cham
pionship victories on her world
tour to four.
Gussie wore black shorts—not
regulation white—when she and
Mrs. Pat Todd won the ladies dou
bles in the Egyptian international
tennis tournament Friday.
The audience included Egypt’s
beautiful Princess Faiza, who pre
sented the cup to the winners.
The Egyptian newspaper Le
Progres called the black shorts
“shocking” and said: “Miss Moran
has proved to have very doubtful
taste. . . . We shall leave this
young player to the final judg
ment of posterity.”

j Alaska SS. Wants i
ITo Buy Freighters
■ —
SEATTLE, (#>) — The A1 a s k a
Steamship company is in the mar
ket to buy 10 more 5,000-ton |
freighters, G. W. Skinner, presi-1
dent, said last week.
Cut Skinner emphasized, the j
price must be low enough to per- j
mit operation of the vessels with
out raising rates to the Territory.
Skinner said the Alaska line is j
negotiating with the U. S. Mari-:
time Commission to work out a 1
program of ship sales to submit to
Congress as soon as possible.
The government owns numer-1
ous 5,00-ton ships of the so-called j
“Knot-type,” s i m ilar to the i
freighter Terminal Knot which
the company purchased from the
commission some time ago.
The current price tag on such
ships for sale by the commission
is $694,000. Skinner said the line
could not pay that much for addi
tional vessels without rates being I
raised.
Meanwhile, in Washington, D.
C., Rep. Thor Tollefson iR.-Wash.)
proposed that the government
build ships suitable for the Alaska
trade and make then available to
ship lines under a subsidy .ar
angement.

pills.”
The defendant had just said h(
