Subversive Count
Dropped Against
Veteran Searadi
SEATTLE, Dec. 21—UPI—A veter
an seafarer, who once was detain
ed by the Russians in Siberia for
two years, has won a six-month
fight to clear himself of Coast
Guard charges of being a suspected
subversive.
The seafarer and soldier of for
tune, James (Jimmy) Crooks, is a
member of the Marine Firemen’s
Union (Ind). He was screened off
U. S. Merchant ships last June un
der the Coast Guard’s waterfront
security program. He appeared and
a hearing was held in Seattle in Oct
ober.
Today he displayed a letter from
the Coast Guard advising him that
he is no longer considered a security
risk and may sail on V. S. Merchant
vessels.
Crooks, an Irish-born naturalized
citizen, started to sea in 1913. In
1927, he was skipper of a trading
schooner, the Nome, which he said
was taken over by the Russians in
Siberia. Crooks and his ship were
detained two years. When he re
turned to the United States, he said,
he turned over all his maps, charts
and other information to govern
ment authorities.
“I have always opposed the Com
munists and have never been a
‘subversive’,” he said. "And I never
doubted for a moment that I would
be completely cleared of all charg
es. But I never though I would be
deprived of my livelihood for six
months while I was being cleared.”
' Crooks said he had had only five
weeks’ work on an Alaskan cannery
tender during the six months.
He declared “I am in favor of pro
per security measures” but he de
clared that a seaman charged under
the screening program “should re
ceive immediate hearing and have
the right to meet his accusers face
to face.”
Dr. Philip Moore of Mt. Edge
cumbe arrived here yesterday from
Fairbanks and is stopping at the
Baranof Hotel.

Exciting Drama
Now on Screen
At 20th Century
Paramount's "Silver City,” which
is at the 20th Century Theatre, is a
sizzling adventure drama chronic
ling the greed, treachery and vio
lence that made life in the mining
regions of the Old West so eventful.
Filmed in Technicolor in the beau
tiful High Sierras, this handsomely
mounted Nat Holt, production stars
Edmond O'Brien, Yvonne De Carlo,
Barry Fitzgerald and Richard Alien,
who respectively portray a mining
engineer with a flair for robbery, a
prospector out for revenge, a fast
shooting spitfire who bosses a min
ing crew, and a murderous old silver
tycoon.
With these, and a score of other
colorful characters, the film punches
out its exciting tale of ruthless for
tune seekers in conflict on a lawless 1
frontier. O'Brien’s piracy of silver
swag and his escape to another boom
town ignite the plot fuse. There he
is drawn into a murderous struggle
to prevent Yvonne and her father
from working a rich claim.
