Violent Storm
Lashes Southeast
i
era Alaska Coast
—
JUNEAU, (d5) — A violent week
end storm lashed the Alaskan
coast from Cordova to Ketchikan,
buffeting ships -at sea and tearing
small crafts from their moorings
in port.
Coast guard headquarters said it
recorded gale winds of 52-60 miles
an hour.
Army, civilian and coast guard
vessels joined in bringing aid to
the 72-foot fishing boat Eek, which
sent out a distress call she was in
trouble battling heavy seas 10
miles off Cape St. Elias in the
Gulf of Alaska.
The seiner, en route from Beth
el, Alaska, to Seattle with seven
persons aboard, was located by
the Alaska Steamship company’s |
S. S. Denali with the use of radar.!
A coat guard PBY flying boat also j
spotted the Eek as the cutter Bit- j
tersweet and army transport Fred
erick Funston raced to the scene.
The Bittersweet radioed yester
day she had reached the fish boat I
and was escorting her to a nearby
harbor to ride out the storm.
A number of small boats an
chored here were swept into Gas
teneau Channel when their moor
ing lines snapped. All were picked
up later and taken to safe anchor
age. Several others were damaged
as the storm pounded them against
docks to which they were tied.
Torrential rains fo rthe past 24
hours caused a slide here that j
pushed the five-room home of
Robert Light from its foundation
last night and carried it 15 feet ,
down a hillside. Neither Light nor
his wife was injured, but were
badly unnerved by the accident.
Tenants of a nearby apartment j
house weer evacuated by police.
They were permitted to return
this morning after an inspection
had shown there was no danger of
further slides.
Other slides were reported
along the Glacier Highway and in
the Gold Creek Basin area, with
little or no property damage.
The storm also blocked week
end efforts to salvage the fish and
wildlife service vessel Scoter
which was holed on the rocks Fri
day near Cape Fanshaw. 50 miles
to the south.
The cutter Hemlock was forced
to seek shelter at Port Johnson, on
the southeast side of Prince of
Wales Island.

Pribilof Natives
Most Temperate Of
Alaskan Natives
WASHINGTON, l^)-An interi
or department survey group said
Saturday that natives in the Aleu
tian Islands and some other parts
of Alaska are drinking themselves
to death.
It said that by contrast the Prib
ilof Islands, north of the Aleutians
have no destitute families, no ne
glected welfare cases and no crime
or liquor problem “with the ex
ception of home brew.”
There is absolutely no basis, it
said, for charges that Pribilof na
tives—custodians of the govern
ment-owned fur-seal herds that
summer or) the islands—are “held
in slavery, bondage or peonage.”
Statements that the Pribilof Is
landers are held in “peonage”
have been made in recent months
by various individuals and groups.
Miss Fredericka Martin, a former
Alaska resident now living in
New York City, gave testimony ot
that effect before the Senate inte
rior committee.
The report by the interior de
partment survey group said the
Pribilof inhabitants are better off
than any other Alaskan natives,
with the possible exception of
those at Metlakatala. However, it
added:
“Along he Aleutian chain the
natives are on the decline through
disease and impoverishment, much
(it it brought on by the unbridled
and excessive use of liquor.”
For the entire Territory, the re
port said, “the most deplorable
conditions among the natives ex
ists in those communities and vil
lages where liquor is available.”
The three-week survey, recom
mended by the interior depart
ment’s advisory committee on In
dian affairs, was completed early
this month.
The survey group included Dr.
Mark A. Dawber, New York City,
executive secretary of the Home
Missions Council; Dr. L. T. Old
royd, extension director for the
University of Alaska; Albert M.
Day, director of the fish and wild
Identifying Azores
< Victims
PONTA DELGADA, Sao Miguel,
The Azores, (/P)—Rescue workers
Saturday began identifying the
burned and broken bodies of 48
victims killed in the crash of an
Air France Constellation.
The plane plunged into a moun
tain side Friday. It was bound
j from Paris to New York.
A French technical mission also
was at work, trying to determine
the cause of the crash. Boxer
Marcel Cerdan, violinist Genette
Neveau and painter Bernard Bou
tet de Monvel were among those
killed. There were no survivors.
The body of 28-year-old Miss Ne
veau, one of France’s greatest wo
man musicians, was one of those
so far identified.
Mother—How do you like the
' naw maid, Son?
Son—I don’t like her at all. I’d
' like to grab her and bite her in
>he back of the neck like daddy
[ does.

life service and Indian commis
sioner John R. Nichols.
The report said that since Prib
ilof Islanders get cash compensa
tion ranging from $265 to $923 a
year, plus free food, shelter, fuel,
clothing and other necessities, ‘hev
“enjoy an economic security on a
par with the highest income group
of any native people in all Alas
ka.”
It said hospitals and medical fa
cilities at the Pribilofs are ade
quate, school systems on both is
lands compare with the best na
tive schools in Alaska, and hous
ing is better than that found in
many white communities.
Oldroyd and Dawber signed the
main report and filed a supple
mentary concurring report “so
there may be no charge of our be
ing in any way limited or influ
enced by the other members of the
commission or its consultants who
are employed officials of the gov
ernment or who are in any way
involved in the present adminis
tratoin of Alaska.”
