Kgan Orders Lady
Landlord ‘Don’t Shoot!’
STEWART, B. C <*—An Amer
ican housewife’s shotgun blockade
shut down the Premier Silver
Mines in northern British Colum
bia for two days this week
Production was back to normal
Wednesday. But it was only after
appeals to Alaska’s Governor
Egan, the RCMP, the mining com
pany's head office and a check of
records in San Francisco.
Mrs. Jean Vickstrom, 44. whose
land is on a finger of American
territory separating Stewart from
the mines seven miles tway, took
up her stand and stopped all traf
fic on the connecting road.
The road was rebuilt recently
after flooding along the Salmon
River. Mrs. Vickstrom claimed the
new roadbed trespassed on her
property.
She put up a “No Trespassing”
sign and stood guard with her
shotgun. All Premier trucks and
staff ears were stopped. No block
ade-runners volunteered.
Finally, a records search re
vealed that the Vickstroms, while
they had bought the property in
question, did not yet have title.
Governor Egan ordered Mrs.
Vickstrom to put down her gun.
She obeyed — but says the mining
company has yet to hear the last
word.

CAB Lauds ‘Perfect'
N.W. Airlines Ditching
WASHINGTON OP — The Civil
Aeronautics Board said that condi
tions were just right for the suc
cessful emergency ditching of a
Northwest Airlines plane off the
coast of Alaska last year.
In addition to the skill of the
pilots, the CAB report on the Oct.
22 accident noted, wind and sea
conditions were virtually ideal.
ri :.e crew was familiar with ditch
ing procedures and had some 45
minutes to prepare, and the 95 mil
ary passengers aboard the char
ter flight were receptive and re
sponsive to orders.
The passengers and seven crew
members escaped from the plane
into six life rafts within five min
utes after the Douglas DC7C
landed on Sitka Sound near Biorka
Island, Alaska. Within another 20
minutes they were picked up by a
launch — just as the plane sank.
Noting that none of the 102 per
sons aboard was injured, the CAB
report said the ditching was “un
der any circumstances, an out
standing feat.”

when they resisted foot patrolmen
trying to move t em away from
outside the United Nations where
President Kennedy appeared.

The pickets hail ignored orders
to return to Ham nskjold Plaza,
where they had een demonstra

patrolmen pushed against the
front ranks of their march.
President Kennedy saw pickets

in the killing of six Negro chil
dren in Birmingham last Sunday,
four of them by a bomb.
Most of the pickets gathered in
Hammarskjold Plaza outside the
United Nations headquarters.
The signs carried slogans such
| as “Kennedy is to blame,” “Mr.
! JFK. if Caroline and John Jr.
had been among the six children
murdered, would you still be
! talking?” and “Arm Negroes for
self defense.”
