All-Alaska Phone
Directory to Be
Published Scon
An nil-Alaska telephone directory
is in the process of preparation, Paul'
Rossiter, sales supervisor of the
General Telephone Directory Co., of
Long Beach, Calif., announced upon
his arrival here.
■'This directory Will cover more
area than any single telephone di
rectory in the world," he said.
Hi company publishes telephone
directories in 27 states servicing over
4 000 telephone companies.
The all-Alaska directory is being
published under contract for the
Alaska Telephone Corporation which
is formally opening a headquarters
office here in the Baranof Hotel
today.
I is expected that the new direc
tory will be ready for distribution
by February, Rossiter stated.
The name of every person who
has a telephone in Alaska will be
listed alphabetically by name, town
and phone number. A classified
business directory of all the State
side companies doing business in
A!a:ka will be included, Rossiter
said. "However, in case where the
company has an Alaska representa
tive his name will be listed.”
Two pages will be devoted to the
Alaska Communications System and
its operation.
Directory Distribution
Enough directories will be printed
to provide a free copy for every
Alaska telephone.
Outside distribution will be to
over 6,000 telephone companies
throughout the United States and
copies will be sold to other in
terested persons and companies, it
was indicated.
Because of the unusual features
of the Alaska publication, Rossiter's
trip will be pictorialized in the com-!
pany's house organ which has wide
distribution throughout the States.
He expects to spend two months in
the Territory gathering the neces
sary information.
Western Union
Convicted on
Bet Charge
BRIDGETON, N.J., Nov. 2—OP)—A
jury has convicted the Western
Union Telegraph Co., and its local j
office manager of maintaining a
disorderly house where persons
placed bets.
The huge communications firm
issued a statement immediately
after its conviction yesterday that
it would appeal the decision, which
may affect laws governing the in
terstate transmission of messages.
It took the seven-man, five
woman Cumberland county jury
six and one-half hours to find
the company and its Bridgeton
office manager, Charles II. Frake,
guilty of the charges.
Western Union faces a possible
maximum fine of $1,000, and Frake
a $1,000 fine or three years in pri
son, or both.
Each of the jurors, polled separ
ately by County Judge David L.
Horuvitz, issued a guilty verdict.
The jurist set Nov. 16 as the date
for sentencing.
Western Union contended
throughout the 25-day trial that it
is required, under its franchise, to
send all messages provided they are
not indecent or libelous.
Judge Horuvitz, in delivering a
50-minute charge to the jury before
it retired, said Western Union must
serve all "legitimate customers
without discrimination, but it is not
required by its license to serve those
using its facilites for illegal serv
ices.’’

Cold Wave
Extensive
In States
By the Associated Press
Winter weather's two-ply punch,
snow and cold, hit wide areas of
the country today, snapping a spell
of mid-autumn mildness.
There was lots of snow — in
the northeast, the midwest, the
Kocky Mountain region, and even
in Texas. Fails in some areas
were the heaviest on record for so
early in the season.
Freezing rains added to the dis
comfort and made motor travel
hazardous in many areas. Winter
.season’s official start is seven weeks
away.
The cold weather was extensive—
from the Rockies to the New Eng
land states and south into Texas.
Not much warming was in prospect
immediately. Blizzard warnings
were issued last night by the
weather bureau to motorists and
stockmen in northeastern New
Mexico.
|
Northern Texas areas shivered
and sloshed in below freezing and
snow. The mercury stayed be
low freezing all day yesterday in
Amarillo, reaching a high of 27.
Heavy snowfalls struck over the
Oklahoma-Texas panhandle.
Five persons were killed on high
ways in accidents attributed to the
weather—three in New York state
and two in Colorado.
A snow storm which moved across
the border from Canada left six
inches of light snow at Denver. It
was -2 at Denver.

Appeal Too Late
For Strikers io
Unload Nickel
■ NEW YORK, Nov. 2—(ypi—The
i government today appealed—too
1 Late—for striking stevedores to un
! load a defense-critical cargo of
nickel. But there were indications

defense shipments.
Strike leaders said they didn't have j
time to act on an appeal from the
I National Production Authority to i
I remove 60 tons of nickel from the
I Norwegian liner Stavangerfjord be
! fore the vessel sailed.
John J. Sampson, chief leader
oi the wildcat strike which has tied
up the vast waterfront for the long
est period in port history, was re
ported willing to order work on
such cargoes.
A state mediation spokesman
aid Sampson was "responding
very cooperatively” in arranging
to call strike leaders to meet with
NPA officials on handling defense
needed shipments of copper and
cobalt.
The spokesman said there" ap
parently was a little more time"
to get the copper and cobalt unload
ed from ships before they sailed.
He said the NPA had termed the
material esesntial to the defense
program.
"They combed the world to bring
it here/’ he said.
Two previous post-war strikes
crippled this port for 18- days each
hut none has hung on as long as
the current walkout, which started
as a small-scale revolt against a
new contract and mushroomed all
through the port and to Boston.
The New York Board of Trade,
deploring the “silence” of Mayor
Vincent Impellitteri on the situa
tion, urged him to take a hand in
getting a settlement .
A state fact-finding panel also
was planned to seek peace.
