PRINCE RUPERT, B. C.-(/P)—
No cargo from Alaska diverted
from strikebound United States
ports is being handled here, em
ployer and employee representa
tives said.
The statement came in reply to
a report that the bulk of the
Southeastern Alaska canned sal
mon pack which normally moves
through Seattle, would be diverted
to Prince Rupert.
Considerable salmon and lumber
is being handled here, but it has
all been normally booked for ship
ment. It is definitely not “divert

Seattle that only salmon actually
consigned to Canadian ports will
be handled by affiliated longshore
men.

Plane Flies To
Pieces at 600 M.P.H.
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif., (/P)
Imagine flying nearly 600 miles
an hour, having your plane sim
ply disintegrate around you and
coming out of it with only a
scratch on the ear!
That’s what happened to Capt.
R. M. Barnes of Shaw air force
base, Sumter S. C., Friday.
He was flying an F-84 Republic
Thunder Jet in a simulated race
with an F-80 Lockheed Shooting
Star as a feature of an air force
day celebration at San Bernardino
air base. They were neck and
neck, hitting more than 570 miles
an hour at 800 feet past the re
viewing stand and 8,000 spectators.
Suddenly Capt. Barnes’ plane
flew to pieces. Parts landed two
miles away before the horrified
crowd discovered the pilot was
floating down in a parachute.
He landed at the edge of the
field unhurt except for that
scratch.
The Mirow residence on First
Ave. West, which has been vacant
for the past two years, has Been
leased by Mr. and Mrs. L. W. F.
Jones, it was reported today. Mr.
Jones is an employee of the U. S.
Smelting Company.
