MR. ZIP . . .
*J^TOW THAT WE’VE all become Social Security numbers to the
Internal Revenuers and Zip numbers to the post office we are
doubtless entering the hey-day of people-who-can't-remember
nanies — when we will just be called "hey” bv people-who-can’t
rem ember-numbers.
"Ashes to ashes (tie'll he singing), and dust to dust.
Names are so deceptive, In numbers tie'll trust."
This will be the day — when all post offices are automated
so that there can be no human error in sorting mail — when the
post office makes no errors in assigning numbers and handling
address changes of those who move — and when everyone who
writes to us knows our number — and gets it right.
The Zip number for Mr. Zip, by the way, is 20269.
HITS HARDER THAN SOUND !
CONGRESS WAS TOLD the other day by Congressman Robert
Hemphill, Democrat of South Carolina, that "the commen
tators who broadcast editorials sometimes don't know what they're
talking about.” For that reason, he would stop "abusive editorial
izing over the airways.” Flattering comment, whether true or
false, is OK, no doubt.
But Rep. Lionel Van Deerlin, a Democrat from California
and one-time radio-TV commentator, thinks there should be more
of it . . . and we expect there will be.
We think Van Deerlin’s right. Besides, a printed editorial
hits harder than sound !

Japanese Halibut
Fleet Quits Fishing
In Bering Sea
SEATTLE OF — Most of the
-Japanese halibut fleet has given
up fishing in the Eastern Bering
Sea, a Seattle newspaper reported
Tuesday.
The Post-Intelligencer said the
Japanese have left their designated
area in the Bering Sea without
filling their quota, set by the In
ternational North Pacific Fisheries
treaty.
Catches were running 75,000
pounds a day when Japanese boats
moved into the “triangle area”
last spring, the paper reported.
The past 15 day catches have been
negligible.
F. Howard Bell, Director of the
International Pacific Halibut Com
mission, said it is too early yet
to tell whether the international
fleets of U.S., Canadian and Japan
ese boats over-fished the area.
“It will require close examina
tion to determine,” Bell said. “It
is now the responsibility of the
three nations to see that halibut
of this area is utilized on a sound,
conservation basis.”
With admission of Japan in early
May, an 11-million-pound quota
was set for the area.
I Catch figures by nations were
reported as: Canada, 4,uub,uuu
pounds; Japan, 3,291,000; and U.S.,
3,141,000. The U.S. and Canadian
fleets mover farther south after
admission of the Japanese fleets.
The “triangle area” was opened
to the Japanese this year after
they contended American and
Canadian fishermen were not mak
ing full use of halibut stocks
there
U.S. Track Team
Termed as ‘Very Nervous’
By Russian Coach
MOSCOW UFi — Russia’s head
track coach said Tuesday he never
saw such a nervous bunch of
American athletes as the U.S. team
that competed here last weekend.
Gavril Korobkov, writing in the
newspaper Pravda, told Russian
sports fans:
“I first saw hOw nervous Amer
ican track and field athletes get
at the 17th Olympic Games. But
what I saw July 20-21 in Moscow
was worse than anything I saw
in Rome.
“The calmness, poise and resolu
tion of the majority of the USSR
team was a sharp contrast with
the nervousness and unsureness
... of many of the American
athletes.”
Korobkov credited the Russians’
superior performance to “the
moral resolution” of the athletes
and their “advanced system of
training.”
The youth newspaper Komso
molskaya Pravda celebrated the
Soviets 189-147 over-all team vie
tory over the Americans in a
front-page story.
“If you tell the truth, you don’t
have to remember anything.”

Ellen Mulvihill Tells
Chamber of Related
Travels in Europe
“Travelling in Europe is not as
expensive as you expect it to be,
stated Mrs. Ellen Mulvihill at the
Chamber luncheon Monday, when
she reported on her recent trip to
Europe via the North Pole. She
stated that she and her daughter
kept a complete accounting of the
expenses of the trip and found that
their housing and their meals cost
them only $4.53 cents a day. They
covered five countries enjoying
both the people and the scenery.
Mrs. Mulvihill was especially im
pressed with the Berlin Wall which
she feels that no amount of de
scription can adequately portray
the difference that exists between
East and West Berlin.
Their traffic problems were re
duced with the aid of Angelo Buf
fas, son of Angelo Buffas of Nome
who is in the armed service in
Germany and whose assistance
they really appreciated. They also
enjoyed visiting with the mother
of Mrs. Wm. Posey while in Ger
many.
Kenneth Koovak of Barrow was
introduced by Sen. Pearse Walsh
and he told something of the work
of the Arctic Research Institute
where he is employed and the re
search boat “Natchik” which wint
ered here and which is enroute
back to Barrow.
Ernie Hanson of KICY intro
duced a new staff member, Miss
Alice Johnson, who will be the
new secretary of the staff.
Elsie Mae Smith introduced
Henrietta Krantz, who heads the
education for the Deaf and Blind
Dept, of the Dept, of Health and
Welfare. Miss Krantz stressed the
importance of training Alaskans to
teach the deaf and blind as the
Vancouver school to which Alas
kans have been going is no longer
available to Alaskans.
Sen. Lester Bronson reported on
his recent trip to Barrow, the de
tails of which have already been
published in Monday’s issue.
Sen. Pearse Walsh, spoke with
regret on the transfer of Judge
and Mrs. Hugh Gilbert to Anchor
age. because of their sincere and
conscientious work for the com
munity and all of Northwestern

Douglas Fairbanks
Is Linked with
Britain’s Scandal
LONDON tP — Marilyn Mandy
Rice-Davis, 18, testified as a vice
trial witness Tuesday that former
actor Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and
Viscount Astor had been among
her lovers.
But the blonde call girl declared
the man on trial. Dr. Stephen T.
Ward, never got any money out of
it.
Ward, 50, a society osteopath
and artist, is charged with living
on the immoral earnings of a
stable of prostitutes.
Asked wrhy she brought in the
name of Fairbanks, she respond
ed: “Because I do not like him.”
Fairbanks, 53, is the son of the
late silent film star. He himself
made 75 movies and is a close
friend of the British royal family.
Once a motion picture producer,
Fairbanks now is the director of or
officer of 17 corporations dealing
with affairs ranging from tools to
hotels.
Fairbanks is married and the
father of three daughters. His wife
is the former Mary Lee Epling of
Bluefield, W. Va.
Mandy took the stand on the
second day of Ward’s trial, marked
Monday by the testimony of Chris
tine Keeler.
Earlier in the Old Bailey Court,
two young women testified that
Ward seduced them in the week
end cottage he rented on Lord
Astor's Clivedon estate. There
was no suggestion, however, that
he turned them to prostitution.
Mandy testified that Ward in
troduced her to Lord Astor, 53,
son of the Virginia-bom Nancy
Lady Astor, and that Astor paid
the rent on an apartment she
shared with Christine from early
January 1961 until March 28, 1961.
But she said she did not have
sexual intercourse with him until
two years later.
In New York Douglas Fairbanks
Jr. issued a vigorous denial of any
sexual relationship with blonde
Mandy Rice-Davis.
Fairbanks talked through a New
York spokesman because, he said,
he is prevented under the British
law from speaking directly from
London. The statement made pub
lic in New York said:
“I was shocked to hear a re
port about what I remember was
a perfectly innocuous acquaint
anceship. My meeting with both
Miss Christine Keeler and Miss
Rice-Davis occurred as a result of
their wanting an opportunity in
films in which, as I was no longer
producing, I could not really assist
them. I suggested agents and others
they might contact.
“Whereas I at no time was in
volved in the matter stated in
court, I can say I am not only
astonished at the statement but
| vigorously deny it.”
