Ore-Carrying Freighter
Sinks After Collision
QUEBEC M — An early-morn
ing collision in dense fog Satur
day sent an ore carrier to the bot
tom of the St. Lawrence River
and heavily damaged a British
freighter.
Officials said at least 22 bodies
have been recovered and 16 sur
vivors, some injured, have been
picked up.
The sunken ship was the 13,000
ton Tritonica with a crew of 49
flying the Bermuda flag. She went
down so quickly she did not have
time to send a distress signal.
Only her stack could be seen
from shore at the scene of the
collision, about 55 miles northeast
of Quebec City.
The other ship, the 6,000-ton
Roonagh Head, was riding anchor
after the crash with a big hole in
its bow.

“Pvt. Burdick, stand by to report
to the ‘Old Man’ at 1200 hours

Paternity Suit Filed
Against Marlon Brando
SANTA MONICA, Calif. UP> —
A Philippine dancer has filed a
paternity suit against actor Marlon
Brando, saying he fathered her
4-month-old daughter.
Marie Cui said in the complaint
that the child, Maya Gabriella Cui
Brando was born Feb. 27 in
Manila.
Brando, hospitalized with a
kidney ailment, was not available
for comment.
Miss Cui alleges she and the
actor met in Los Angeles. When she
learned she was pregnant, Brando
referred her to his physician in
Beverly Hills, the suit said.
After the child’s birth, she said,
Brando refused to see her or to
support the baby.
The dancer asked that Brando
be required to pay temporary sup
port pending trial of the suit.
She requests $775 a month child
support, including $235 rent for a
Los Angeles apartment.
Queen Isabella of Spain is said
to have bragged she had only two
baths in her life—when she was
born and when she married.

Stabilizers For Road Safety
At left. New front Load-Leveler stabilizing unit overcomes
“sag”, greatly reduces front tire wear, helps maintain front-end
alignment. Right. Cornering is safer, surer with new front
stabilizing device, which also eliminates sidesway caused by
crosswinds or passing trucks.
Approximately 40,000,000 cars on the road today suffer from
“front end sag” — and most of their drivers don't know it.
“Front end sag” sets in when the front coil springs take a
“set”. It happens when a car is anywhere from a few months
to & year or more old. This “set” drops the front end an inch
or more, and rouis up an uie
careful calculations of the
automotive engineer who de
signed the front end parts to
fit and work together at norm
al height.
Consequently, wheels don’t
run true, tires wear out faster,
steering is harder and the ride
Is rougher.
Until recently, the only way
to restore a car to the new car
level was to replace the front
coil springs. This is a difficult,
costly job, requiring equipment
lacking in most service sta
tions and in many garages.
Some try to overcome sag
by inserting hard rubber or
metal boosters between the
spring coils. These lift the
front end all right, but can
also break springs because the
stress of spring action is cori|
centrated where the booster"
are inserted.
Now motorists can give their
car a front end lift, without
replacing coil springs or using
spring - breaking boosters, by
having a new front Load
Leveler stabilizing unit in
• tailed. Developed by the
worlds largest maker of ride
control products, the Monroe
Auto Equipment Co., this com
bination shock absorber and
coil spring unit overcomes
“froijt end sag” and the prob
lems it causes.
Front Load-Levelers replace
the conventional front shock
absorbers and provide as much
as 300 pounds of spring assist
at the front end. This lifts the
car back to normal height and
restores the front end geome
try. Front alignment is main
tained, tire wear is substan
tially reduced, and steering is
made easy again. Not only
that, but a half-million miles
of testing hras proved that it
gives a better, smoother ride,
greatly increases cornering a
bility, and even eliminates
sidesway caused by crosswinds
or passing trucks.
Best of all, the company
points out, the cost of a pair
of front Load-Levelers is con
siderably less than the cost of
replacing front springs. Instal
lation can be made by anyone
who can install shock aosor
ber3, and units are available
for practically every American
car built since 1955.
Gambell Newsletter
By Clarence Irrigo
The Morrison-Knudsen Co. is
busy building a new airfield right
on the existing steel-mat runway
which in these last ten years has
been rusting away. Fortunately,
the old runway was 1,000 feet long
enabling small airplanes to keep
on coming while the other half of
the runway is being built. Not
so-good part of the seemingly good
construction summer in Gambell is
—that local help did not attract at
tention of the MK officials. Job
seeking local residents lose hope
of getting into the airfield job
when out-of-town help was hired.
Even the few union members could
not find entrance.

Special Request . . .
What happened to the good vil
lage of Gambell when the white
whalers used to roam the Bering
Sea — is going to happen in a
very near future. It may be that
many had passed on by now who
witnessed things, and the young
people knew nothing hardly. Any
way, things were terrible in our
Eskimo villages when the “home
brew” whiskey was at its full
swing. It was a terrible and shame
ful village when homes are broken,
when people are killed and hurt.
This condition lasted until Reve
nue Cutter Bear began its annual
cruises into Eskimo villages try
ing to stop the “bad whiskey”
from being home-brewed. It took
the “Bear” several years to put
it under control.
Now, what happened then, what
brought trouble in those years is
going to happen here in Gambell
again. In fact, things like breaking
into homes, breaking BIA property,
disorderly conduct in public places
and private homes, endangering
life and limb.
Local village council with a
president—not a mayor—is not
doing anything to keep things in
order. Any disorderly conducts—
however serious—the local council
would not care.
The “dry residents’ ’ fear that
when the nights are dark and
long later this summer—things
are going to go from bad to worse,
and that since the local governing
body is not willing to help, out
side help will be needed. It would
be best if this be investigated
promptly.
