At The
Primary Election, April 29th
« _
You, the taxpayers of the Second
Division, are vitally interested in
having your tax dollars put to their
most effective use by our govern
ment.
You, as voters, are also interested
in obtaining people representing you
at the Territorial Legislature who are
QUALIFIED to work and fight for
your individual interests. I want to
see the Second Division given its
proportionate -amount of tax monies
rightfully due it for the constructive
development of the economy of our
country.
In the 37 years I have lived in the
Second Division and during the 17
years I have been actively engaged
in mining as manager of Lee Broth
ers Dredging Co., I have acquired a
knowledge and understanding of the
needs of our country and our people
which, in my opinion, qualifies me
completely to assume the responsi
bilities of good legislation arid legis
lative procedure.
When you go to the polls on
April 29th ask for the Repub
lican ballot, the "Eisenhower
Parly" ballot; and please re
member, your vole for me for
representative will be appreci
ated. Thank you.

COUNCIL NEWS
By DON PERKINS
April 15, 1952
We have been reading with in
terest that “Spring is here.” It has
apparently by - passed Council.
But that is nothing new, as sched
uled planes have been doing it all
winter long.
As of late, the winds have been
stronger here than in most vil
lages down the coast and it makes
flying precarious. Some of the
pilots have had to fly with their
flaps down to stabilize their ships
due to the turbulence of the air
in our vicinity.

Charlie Gustafson arrived yes
terday with Bill Munz and ex
pects to get the mining equip
ment of Alaska Placer Company
in readiness for the summer
dredging operations. It was one
of Munz’s rare trips to Council
and most everyone in the village
turned out to greet him and
Charlie.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
April 22, 1952
I believe the following to be of
special interest to your readers
and the people of Alaska:
In the April 11 issue of U.S.
News and World Report was re
corded the progress of the Com
munist party in the United States.
According to the estimate of the
FBI for the past year, you have
the following facts:
Avowed Communists increased
in only 5 states and the Territory
of Alaka—and in Alaska avowed
Communists increased by 150 per
cent—the greatest per cent in
crease in the U.S. Alaska now
leads 13 states in total number of
Communists — and this increase
was just in the last year.
Perhaps Alaskans will heed in
stead of ridicule the charges that
there is a danger of Communism
in Alaska. It seems Alaska is be
coming a fertile field for their
activities and should watch their
movements now before the dan
ger becomes a threat.
Respectfully submitted,
A reader
arrived around -the first week o*f
May, but todate the rivers have
shown no signs of having thinner
ice and winter seems to be set.
They often land between White
Mountain and Council to rest and
feed on»last fall’s crop of berries
which are usually showing on
bare ground around early May.
The cranes will need the ingen
uity of an ice worm to dig them
this spring unless there is a rapid
warm-up.

There have been so few planes
and visitors this winter that the
children would even welcome
dentists and nurses, and the old
sters do likewise to game war
dens, marshals, and income tax
collectors.
Golden North Airways
Awarded $25,000 Verdict
Against Fairbanks Paper
FAIRBANKS, (fP) A federal
court jury has awarded the Gold
en North Airways; a non-sched
uled airline, a $25,000 verdict
against the Fairbanks News
Miner in a libel case arising out
of an editorial.
Attorneys for the newspaper
said the verdict will be appealed.
The airline charged that the
editorial, which was also pub
lished in two other Alaska news
papers, damaged its business.
Thursday, counsel for the air
line filed two more damage ac
tions. The Juneau Daily Empire
was sued for $75,000 and the An
chorage Daily News for $60,000.
The editorial was published in
all three newspapers on or about
May 1, 1950, the airline said.
U. S. Jet Crashes Into
Small English Town
KENT, Eng., </P) — A burning
U.S. Thunder jet fighter crashed
into the main street bank build
ing of this little southeast England
town Sunday, killings the Ameri
can pilot and an elderly British
couple.
The explosion collapsed the
bank structure in flames which
flashed into an adjoining home,
critically burning a housewife as
she conked her Sunday dinner.
The pilot, whose body was
hurled into a yard adjoining the
destroyed building, was identified
only as Capt. Clifford Foggarty,
29. The dead couple, found in the
ruins, were in their apartment
above the bank offices.
The plane crashed shortly after
taking off on a training flight
from the U.S. Air Force Base at
Manston, some four miles away.
