CAMBELL NEWS
By Clarence Irrigoo, Sr.
April was a good month this
year for whale hunting with skin
boats. Ten or more boats started
out real early in the morning
and made signs that they saw
black monsters in the area. Within
two hours, one boat struck a big
one which immediately headed for
the ice. All afternoon the boats
chased around through the ice and
water. Finally after fighting for
hours, one boat got close enough
and struck a darting gun into the
body of the whale and the explo
sive powder in the bomb and the
big thing died like a little seal.
We call ‘this a red letter day.
Dogteams from Savoonga came
for black meat (muktuk) day and
night. Some of this good meat
even made trips across to Nome
to friends, Howard Slwooko,
Hilda Tungiyan, and Flora Omauk
and some went to Unalakleet to
Mr. and Mrs. Irving Ungudruk.
To natives who use blubber oil,
there is plenty here, maybe you
would like to trade.

Willie McGee Dies
In Electric Chair
LAUREL, Miss., (/P) — Willie
McGee, who fought a long, losing
fight against being put to death
as a rapist, died in the electric
chair early Tuesday.
Political issues colored the final
1 months of the legal battles on be
half of the Negro convicted of
. raping a white woman five and
a half years ago.
The case attracted world-wide
! attention.
Up until the final hour, sup
porters sought a stay of execu
tion from every possible source.
The Supreme Court had refused
to review the case three times.
Gov. Fielding Wright had once be
fore declined executive clemency
asked by members of the Civil
Rights Congress.
Political demonstrations at
Jackson, Miss., and Washington,
D. C., marked the final efforts
made this past week-end to save i
McGee. Monday, about 25 persons
picketing the White House carried
signs saying “Old Soldiers Never
Die—But Lynch Victim Do” and
“You Fired Mac Arthur—Now Fire
Jim Crow.”
McGee, a sLight 37-vear-old gro
cery truck driver, was reprieved
once only four hours before he
was scheduled to die.

SYDNEY, Australia, (/P)— A

the sea at Kemp Beach, near Rock

screaming “Crocodile!” Other
swimmers followed.
Tungsten, Required For
Defense, Sought in Alaska
Needed to toughen the hides of
tanks, ships and armor, tungsten
ore is being sought by defense in
dustries in the Territory, it is re
ported by the Alaska Develop
ment Board.
The nation is in a bad way
tungsten-wise, imports to’ meet in
dustrial requirement having in
creased from 53 to 80 per cent
during the past 10 years. More
over, in some instances large for
eign sources have been cut off■
altogether. These include China
and Korea which accounted for a
sizeable percentage of the imports.
Internal troubles in Bolivia also
have tended to reduce the supply.
The only tungsten production in
Alaska during 1950 came from
the Riverside mine near Hyder.
Tungsten also is known to occur
near Fairbanks, Anchorage and
on Seward Peninsula.
Claim holders wishing to be
placed in touch with U. S. com
panies interested in obtaining
tungsten from Alaska should write
the Alaska Development Board,
Box 50, Juneau, giving details
about their properties.
