Rules Discharge of Non
Union Radioman Violation
Of Taft-Hartley Act
SAN FRANCISCO, (JP)—A Na
tional Labor Relations Board ex
aminer ruled Saturday that the
Alaska Steamship Co. and the
American Radio Association were
in violation of the law in the dis
missal of Horace W. Underwood
as a radioman.
Trial examiner Bruce Hunt re
commended to the board that the
company be ordered to reinstate
Underwood. He also recommended
that he be reimbursed for lost in
come from the time the steamer
Alaska was returned to service
after Oct. 15, 1950.
He concluded that the firm dis
criminated against Underwood,
under pressure from the union,
because he was not a union mem
ber. Hunt held the action to be
an unfair labor practice under the
Taft-Hartley Act.
He recommended that the union
lie ordered to cease causing the
company to discriminate against
>any person for his failure to be
long to the radio association.

Report Seeing
English Loch
Ness Monster
LINCOLN, Eng., (£>) — Town
Clerk J. Harper Smith claimed he
saw the famous Loch Ness mon
ster on June 27.
Except for an errant raindrop,
Smith told a reporter, he would
have a priceless moving picture to
prove it.
“I am a reformed skeptic,” said
Smith. “The monster exists. My
son and I watched it for 15 min
utes. It looks like the long-necked
prehistoric dinosaurs reconstruc
ted by scientists from fossil
bones.”
Smith and his son, Army Lt.
Charles Smith, were on a fishing
•trip to Loch Ness at the time.
Smith said he planned to take his
I movie camera along, but at the
last moment a raindrop splattered
on the hotel window and he de
cided the weather would be un
j suitable.
Smith said he and his son spot
! ted the monster a mile from their
rowboat. He continued.
“My son said ‘That looks like a
periscope.’ Then we realized what
it really was. We were speechless
and spellbound.”

Eskimo ANG Units Record
Arrival Time First Ducks
And Geese Arctic Regions
Some of the Eskimo National
Guard units in the Bering and
Arctic Sea coastal areas recent
ly forwarded information on the
first arrival of ducks and geese in
their village areas.
* It is rather interesting to note
that ducks were first seen in the
lower Kuskokwim area from the
17th to 20th of April, moving
gradually north to the Yukon by
the 21st and 22nd. They were first
reported in the Norton Sound area
on the 28th of April and 2nd of
May.
Geese, on the other hand, ar
rived a few days later, but seemed
to move north faster. On April
21 and 22 they arrived in the
Bristol Bay and lower Kusko
kwim areas, moving north to the
upper Kuskokwim and lower Yu
kon by the 22nd and 25th. Some
arrived in Norton Sound by the
28th, but most did not show up
until the 2nd of May. A few hardy
geese arrived over the Seward
Peninsula on the 2nd and 3rd of
May. The most ambitious goose
was seen near Selawik Lake on
the Arctic Circle on the May 1.
These National Guard units re
ported the first arrival of ducks
and geese in their areas as parti
of a training problem designed to
give them practice in recording
and forwarding military informa-*
tion. “Maneuver Paddlefoot”—as
it has jokingly been called—also
gave Territorial National Guard
Headquarters a check upon the
time is takes for letters to arrive
from isolated Eskimo villages by
mail. .
We have been asked what kind
»■ * ♦a
of a gun is parked in front of
the National Guard headquarters.
We are informed that it is not
* i
a relic of Fort Davis nor is it
in use by the National Guard. It
is a 75 millimeter howitzer, and
part of the original MFAB equip
ment. It was manufactured in
1939 at the Rock Island Arsenal.
