Liston New Champ . . .

did the outcome of the next fight, i
He told Liston: "I pick Patterson !
to knock you out within six rounds j
with one punch." Shortly there
after. Mailer was carried from the
table, still sitting in his chair,
by detectives.
A cruel-punching strong man,
Liston, 28, slammed the door of
sudden fame on a shady past Tues
day night by exploding the long
suspected Patterson myth in 126
seconds of their hullaballoed title
match in Comiskey Park.
In the third fastest finish in
heavyweight boxing history, 2:06
of the first round, Liston crumpled
Patterson to the canvas with a
couple of ponderous left hooks.
Before a disappointing paid
crowd of 18,894 and a whopping
closed circuit television audience
had time to dig into their popcorn,
the fight had ended in stunning j
fashion.
Perhaps not so stunning, because
it long was felt that the canny Cus
D'Amato, Patterson's guiding an
gel, had wrapped his boy in cot
ton. Floyd’s championship path
mainly avoided what real punchers
were around since Patterson, then
21. first won the crown in 1956
by flattening an overstuffed Archie
Moore.
Inge m a r Johansson, whose
“toonder right" unexpectedly de
throned Patterson in 1959, best de
scribed D’Amato's boy against the
hulking Liston, who outweighed
the champion 214 to 189.
“Patterson looks like a baby
tonight," said Ingo, who may get
a shot at Liston after the new
champ has his return match with
Patterson.
Patterson, whose catastrophic
finish had been foreshadowed in !
12 knockdowns in previous title j
bouts, wants another go at Liston j
within three months.
That could be a big mistake, |
except that, financially, Patter- I
son could swell his lion’s take as
a loser by sharing a 30-30 split
of the return match receipts.
The Comiskey Park receipts
were announced as $655,420 and
tiie net $556,119,95.
The big swag comes Thursday
when the closed circuit television
reports are filed. Patterson’s take
on the basis of the live gate and
a guaranteed $2 million from tele
vision was an estimated $1,185,
253 and Liston — pegged at a
1212 per cent take of all net re
ceipts — should get a minimum
of $282,015.

CORRECTION . . .
Jim O’Sullivan, businessman of
Unalakleet who was presented
recently at the Chamber of Com
merce meeting as Mayor of Una
lakleet, has written from Unalak
leet asking for a correction, stating
that Frank Degnan is the Mayor
and he has no aspirations for the
position.
Both men are civic-minded and
leaders in the community of Una
lakleet, both are ardent supporters
for its development. It is easily
understood how the presentation
was made in error and we appre
ciate Mr. O’Sullivan’s request to
set the record straight.

didn’t specify the location but a
late r communique announcing .
signing of the Soviet-Cuban agree- |
ment said the dock and facilities
for between 115 and 130 medium
trawlers would be in Havana Bay.
It was reported in Havana So
viet. crews would instruct Cubans
in the use of Soviet trawlers and
that the fleet ultimately would
become the property of Cuba.
Many of the Soviet Union’s
3,000 trawlers are anything but
purely fishing craft. They are
known to carry radar and other
electronic equipment with which
they have monitored U.S. missile
test shots from Cape Canaveral
and have observed U.S. fleet
maneuvers.
The small flotilla of Soviet
trawlers which arrived in Havana
last summer is equipped with
electronic detection equipment.
Some military authorities said
construction of a Soviet port in
Cuba appears part of a world-wide
plan to position Soviet naval
power where it could pinch off
key allied shipping routes.

i Sen. Peratrovich
Dissatisfied \V itli
{Agenda of Native
Fishing Conference
PETERSBURG H — State Sen
i ate President Frank Peratrovich !
j says he is dissatisfied with the !
i agenda of a Native Fishing Indus
try Conference called for Juneau
Oct. 10-12.
The conference is to be called
to order by Robert Bennett, Area
Director of the Bureau of Indian
Affairs. It will start with a dis
cussion by a panel made up of
four representatives of private
salmon canning companies.
These are “the same companies
that would like to put our native
canneries out of business," Pera
trovich told the Petersburg Pre -
Monday.
The senator, a Klawock busi
nessman, is also chairman o: the !
Klawock Cooperative, which e >. r
ates a salmon cannery. Other Co-i
operative Native Canneries are at \
Angoon and Kake.
According to an announcement
from the Bureau of Indian Affairs,
Gov. Egan and U.S. Commissioner
of Indian Affairs Philleo Nash will
address the conference.
Also scheduled to appear are
representatives of state and fed
eral fisheries agencies and mana
gers of native co-op canneries.
Peratrovich says he understands I
villages have been invited to send j
delegates to the meeting.
The conference has been called !
to discuss problems and the future
of the native fishing industry and
its cooperation with regulatory
government agencies.
Peratrovich addressed a Demo
i cratic precinct dinner in Pcters
i burg Saturday night. He was ac
{ companied on a campaign trip by j
j Sen. Ernest Gruening. Both men
j seek re-election.
' Peratrovich cited the battle to
eliminate fish traps as a Demo
cratic effort. Referring to the few
native-owned traps remaining, he
said, "it is my hope that with the
help of our distinguished Secretary j
I of the Interior we’ll be rid of '
them.” I
According to recent court ac- t
tion, the question of whether the'
traps at Metlakatla operate in the j
future is up to the Secretary of j
the Interior. The Supreme Court i
banned the other native traps and i
state law as banned all others. I
In answer to criticism of Alaska !
Department of Fish and Game ,
policies, Peratrovich said the blame '
was at the local level, where the j
department's advisory boards, he i
said, were not functioning.
PTA Holds Firs{ Meeting
The PTA held its first meeting
of the year with Wallace Mclver,
vice president presiding, in the
absence of Dorothy Grant, who has
left the community.
About 100 parents and teachers
were present and the teachers
were introduced.
A nominating committee was
appointed to select names for a !
new president as well as names ;
for a new treasurer, as Dorothy j
Lee has resigned due to her work
which will keep her away from
meetings of the PTA.
The group voted to support the
milk program of the school as
heretofore.
Mrs. Earl Towner gave a PTA
calendar report.
Room count honors went to the
class of Jerry Eidem and members
of the board furnished the re
freshments.
15 MOOSE TAKEN
It is estimated that about 15
moose have been taken to date in
this area including the Kuzatrin
and Council districts.
This includes legal and illegal
kills. Illegal killing includes cows
and calves which if protected
would make up the moose popu
latino for future years. If these
are killed off illegally moose hunt
ting in the future becomes prob
lematical.

The Community Birthday Cal
endar project sponsored by the
Nome PTA has been announced a
success in its third year of 1962.
The PTA wishes to thank all who
have purchased listings, ads and

cial adds at a total of $525.
The three workers with the
highest number of listings and j
calendars are in order: Harriett :
Amundsen, Gertrude Fondell, and
Jane Frazier.
A very special thanks is ex
pressed to Helen Fagerstrom and
Fern Smith for selling the corn- j
mercial advertising, also to Bar- j
bara Samuels for typing 2,027 list
ings in record time.
Listing were also re wived from
the tillages through the adver
tising over KICV.
Because of the- very efficient
leadership of Mrs. Earl Towner,
chairman of the project, the order
for the calendars was sent out :n
time to receive a special bonus •

(iruening Says Freshmen
GOP Senators Would Be
Given Unimportant Duties
PETERSBURG (/P — Senator
Ernes* Grunning, seeking re-olee
tion, say,- freshmen Republican
senators an given unimportant
committee assignment- by the GOP
leadership in the Senat<
Speaking before the Petersburg
Democratic Club Saturday night,
Grueiiing said Sen. Curtis of
Nebraska was assignee! to the
Committc on Rules and Adminis
tration and the Joint Library Com
mittee, and Sen. davits ol New
York was given assignments on
the District of Columbia, Rules
and Administration and Joint
Planting Committees.
Noting that JaviL and Curtis
had long records ol public service
before going to the Senate, he com
mented:
"What could a freshman Repub
lican senator from Alaska, expert'.1'’
Gruening said that by contrast
he and Sen. E. L. Bartlett were
as Jgned to important committees
uch as Interior and Public Works.
Armed Services. Commerce, Gov
ernment Operations and Small
Bnsiness Administration.
Gruening also criticized the Ei
senhower administration, which he
claimed killed Public Works proj
ects, held up two Area Redevelop
ment plans and stymied funds for
Rampart Dam.
Speaking in Wrangell, the sen
ator supported Gov. Win. Egan's
road program, which calls for the
Stikine Highway out of Wrangell
and Petersburg being the first
access route to the national high
way system from Southeast Alaska.
Gruening interrupted his cam
paign trip to Kake Saturday after
i noon so his chartered plane could
j take a five-year-old boy, George
i Skeek, to the hospital. Gruening,
; who was a doctor in his early
■ career, stayed with the boy until
J he was hospitalized and turned
j over to a Petersburg physician. The
I lad is reported recovering satis
factorily from a leg infection.
Next to headaches, the most
common form of pain is caused by
backaches.
