Post Office Open
Half Hour Earlier
To enable patrons to make last
minute morning mailings of in
sureds, registereds, certifieds, or
air mail parcel post the windows
at the post office will now be open
at 9 a.m. daily instead of 9:30 as
heretofore, Acting Postmaster
William H. Lamme announced
yesterday.
Such mailings should be pre
sented. between 9 and 9:15 at the
latest as the pasted closing for
letters in the drop remains at 9
o'clock, he explained, although in
all cas:es later mail is included in
4he dispatch if the volume and
pick-up time allow it.
The earlier opening is being
tried on an experimental basis in
the belief it will improve the ser
vice for patrons, he added, and
for the present the post office
will continue to remain open un
til closing time of 6 p.m. It is ex
pected that later the closing time
will be changed to 5:30 p.m. if the
experiment is successful, to con
form with ■ required regulations,
but closing will stay at 6 until
further notice.

Murderer Among
Ten Most Wanted
AngeloLuigi 'Pero, an associate
of Dominick Scialo, one of the
FBI’s' “Ten Mosted Wanted Fugi
tives,” has himself been added to
this listed of hunted men in con
nection with the brutal slaying of
a 17-year-old aspiring prize fight
er in New York City.
Scialo was added to the “Top
Ten” list on May 9, 1958.
The victim, Alexander Menditto,
badly wounded, was found in a
gutter in Brooklyn, New York, on
March 16, 1958, by a passerby who
heard his cries for help. When
the passerby, who had gone out
early to buy the Sunday news
papers, went to Menditto’s side,
the victim opened his jacket to
reveal wounds in his chest.
Hurrying to a nearby candy
store, the citizen was in the pro
cess of calling an ambulance
when he heard the morning still
ness punctured by three sharp re
ports from a gun. The citizen sped
back to the wounded man and was
told by another passerby that a
car had drawn up beside Menditto
and that, a man had leaned from
the car arid fired three shots
point-blank into Menditto’s help
less form.

Warning Issued
Against Speeding
A warning to motorists against
speeding was issued this week by
Chief of Police Roland Vickery.
“There have been numerous com
plaints of drivers speeding on
Brooklyn Avenue and Mission
Road,” he stated. “All streets are
being patrolled, and violators of
the speed limit will be given tic
kets,” he added.
Siren Cost Upped
By Station Move
An additional cost to the city of
$450 annually is expected when
the contemplated removal of the
police station to the City Hall is
completed.
This was learned when City
Manager Poland reported some
changes would be required in the
control of the Civil Defense siren
and the Civil Defense line to
Woody Island. These are at pres
ent operated over Alaska Com
munication-Service lines at no
cost, but would then be serviced
by the Kodiak Telephone Com
pany.
Wire-Chief Gordon Jensen of
the Telephone company appeared
before the council and stated the
cost of operating the former CD
facilities and the presently inop
erative fire siren on Mission road
would require three cable pairs
at $12.50 each per month.
