MINING CLAIMS ARE
FILED ON ANCHORAGE
MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
ANCHORAGE, (/P) — Mining
claims filed last February on
Merrill Field are invalid, in the
opinion of Regional Administrator
Lowell M., Puckett of the Bureau
• • *•
of Land Management.
Merrill is this city’s civilian
-airport. Puckett set forth his op
inion in the controversy yester
day.
The claims, covering approxi
mately 140 acres of the airfield,
were filed by Albert M., Betty
Jane and Lawrence Lindemuth,
and Hewitt Lounsberry, all of
Anchorage.
Puckett said the airport leas
ing act of 1928, under which the
city of Anchorage holds a lease to
the airfield until May, 1952, pre
vents legal filing of any conflict
ing claim or application for land
leased or applied for under the
•act.
Lindemuth acknowledged he
had received a letter from Puckett
%
advising that the claim was in
valid. However, he said, “To us,
nothing has happened. We knew
the city held that lease when we I
filed the claims.” He indicated
his group probably would begin
gravel recovery operations this
summer, as originally planned, on
a portion of the land away from
the landing strip.

Supreme Court Wipes Out
Communistic Designation
Of Three Organizations
WASHINGTON* (£>) — The Su
preme Court today wiped out—
pending further hearings — the
Communistic designation of three
organizations listed as subversive
under President Truman’s loyalty
program.
The high tribunal in its 5 to 3
decision did not rule on the valid
ity of the loyalty program itself.
The majority simply held that
the government had failed to give
a proper hearing to these or
ganizations before proclaiming
them to be subversive:
The Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee
Committee, .the National Council
of American-Soviet Friendship,
Inc. and the International Work
ers Order, Inc., of New York City.

Missouri Gas Explosion
Damages Dormitory
Of State College
MARYVILLE, Mo.,'(£>)—A nat
ural gas tank blew up near a
college dormitory, crumbling one
wall and sent 180 girls fleeing in
nightgowns and pajamas.
“I thought a bomb had hit us,”
said Miss Sue Hood, 18-year-old
coed, who sped barefoot out of
the burning building onto the
campus of Northwest Missouri
State College just after midnight.
Thirty girls were injured or
burned and 17 were detained in
the hospital. There were no fa
talities despite the violence of the
big blast that pitched one sheet
of steel four blocks and short
flame hundreds of feet into the
sky.
