Alaska Coal
Case to Jury
At Fairbanks
Lengthy, Involved Dis
cussions Revolving on ■
Marketing of Product
FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Oct. 31—
UP\—The government's case against
Alaska coal firms accused of violat
ing anti-trust laws was in the hands
of a Federal court jury today.
The jury in Judge Harry Pratt’s
courtroom received the case at 5
p.m. yesterday after nearly two
weeks of lengthy and Involved
court discussions revolving around
marketing of coal in Alaska.
Defendants were the Healy River
Coal Corp., Usibelli Coal Mines, Evan
Jones Coal Co., and Harry J. Hill
and Emil Usibelli.
During the trial, government at
torneys introduced evidence which
they said showed the defendants
had conspired in the sale of coal to
the military and other markets in
Alaska.
The defendants denied the
charge and countered with a claim
that figures the government used
as the basis of its case were in
complete and misleading.
Larry Orsini, former secretary
treasurer of the Healy company
who now operates a Fairbanks real
estate business, appeared to be the
government’s chief witness. Orsini
described a meeting of coal operat
ors held several years ago and gave
testimony which the government
contended showed collusion among
mine operators.
In rebuttal, the defense offered
Ufstifnony by Jim Dodson, a Fair
banks businessman who once was
Engaged in the Alaska coal business
and attended the meeting, that no
agreements were made there.
Court sessions have been lengthy
and involved reams of records of
coal contracts and bidding over
the past vears. Testimony moved
slowly and'at one point in the case,
the judge charged that a member
of the jury had fallen asleep. He
ordered testimony repeated for the
juror's benefit.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. Oct. 31—(jPt—
Former actress Marion Davies was
married in a surprise ceremony
early today to Horace G. Brown,
skipper of a military transport ship.
The blond, blue-eyed ex-star said
it was her first marriage and gave
her age as 45. The World Almanac,
however, lists her birth year as
1897 without giving the month or
the day.
Brown, 46, of West Los Angeles,
Calif., was divorced in 1947 from
Mrs. Grace M. Brown, former Wife
of singer Lawrence Tibbett.
The ceremony was performed at
the El Rancho Vegas Hotel by
Justice of the Peace James Down.
The couple arrived here by plane
from Los Angeles at 3:15 a.m., and
obtained a wedding license immed
iately.
The ceremony lasted only three
minutes and was witnessed by
Brown’s son, Horace O. Brown III,
Jimmie Stuart, an official of the
hotel, and Ken Frogley, of the Las
Vegas Chamber of Commerce.
At one point Justice iJown halt
ed the ceremony. Miss Davies, in
reciting the marriage vows, had
gotten ahead of him during the
"love, honor and obey” portion.
"Just a minute,” said Down. "We
don't use the word ‘obey’ in the
Nevada ceremoney.”
Miss Davies then repeated after
him the words "love, honor and
cherish.”
Hbrace Brown Jr., told newsmen
his father was an old friend of the
late William Randolph Hearst.
Miss* Davies was also a longtime
friend of Hearst and was owner
of the Beverly Hills, Calif., home

Uncle Sam Calls;

Both Death and Taxes
Now Sure for Gamblers
As New Law Is Applied
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 — —
Times were never so tough in the
house Lady Luck operates just be
yond the law.
Tomorrow all her chancy sons
have a rendezvous to keep with
their Uncle Sam’s tax collector.
And the very thought of it was
hurting, bad.
They had built their lives on a
plush two-to-one proposition — of
the two great certainties, death and
taxes, only one bothered gamblers.
Effective tomorrow, the govern
ment has added taxes.
It almost looked like a plain
tax law could do what the law of
averages never did — turn the
odds against the gamblers.
A bookie in New Orleans (who
said he’d rather his name not be
used) delared:
“This is going to put me under.
The government don’t bet it back.”
A few numbers vendors in New
Orleans applied for unemployment
relief.
The gambler’s tax is part of
the new revenue bill going into
effect tomorrow, with total annual
returns estimated at $5,691,000,003

Democrats Meet
For Election ol
New Chairman
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31— UR—'The
Democratic Party organization, with
Truman Administration forces firm
ly in control, gathered here today
to elect a new chairman and get
some "new ideas” in campaigning.
As talk of another Truman-Bark
ley ticket continued, despite rumb
lings of Southern revolt, the party's
National Committee gathered to
ratify President Truman's choice
of Frank E. McKinney, an Indian
apolis banker, to succeed the resign
ing William M. Boyle, Jr. The job
pays $35,000 a year.
The meeting was set for 11 a m.
McKinney arrived late yester
day by plane and went immediately
to party headquarters for a private
conference with Boyle. He would
not discuss with reporters any per
sonnel changes in the committee
staff. He said he wanted to be el
ected first. He added a belief that
the party’s chances in 1952 were
excellent.
Except for his presidency of the
Fidelity Trust Co., of Indianapolis,
and his radio interests, McKinney
is giving up his other business con
nections to avoid any possible charge
that he might influence any re
lations these concerns might have
with the government. One of these
j is the U. S. Pipeline Co., which has
an application pending for 100,000
tons of steel to build a pipeline
I from Texas to the east.
McKinney elected
WASHINGTON. Oct. 31 — i/PI —
i Frank E. McKinney, 47-year-old
: Indiana banker and businessman,
was elected chairman of the Demo
, Ct'iiUC lNUltOiwi-i Urfutfriwce
| Friends said he intended to
i serve without pay although the post
| in recent years has carried a salary
of $35,000 a year.
McKinney, the administration’s
choice, succeeds William M. Boyle,
Jr., of Missouri, who resigned dur
ing a Senate investigation of alleged
influences on the makin gof RFC
i loans. Boyle gave ill health as the
reason for quitting.
Frank McHale, Indiana National
I Committeeman, nominated McKin
i ney as a man of unquestioned in
i' tegrity and honesty as well as
ability. He said, too, the commit
i tee must have a chairman who
"possess character and has a re
cord that will stand inspection and
investigation.”
Apparently with the RFC investi
gation in mind, McHale said Mc
Kinney was interested in many busi
nesses, but none of them “has any
thing to do with receiving contracts
or funds or loans from the govern
ment.”
Headless Body Is
That of James
Otis Jackson
A headless body picked up by the
U. S. Coast Guard cutter Hemlock
yesterday at Rocky Pass, has been
identified as that of James Otis
Jackson of Ketchikan, according to
word received by Coast Guard
headquarters here today.
Jackson and Hank Mycoski dis
appeared October 23, 1950 while

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, UCC. tfl—i
—Two huge bull moose locked in
mortal combat before an audience
of hungry wolves were the object
of an intensive air-rescue operation
by agents of the U.S. Fish and Wild
life Service today.
The two bun moose were locked
horn-to-horn in a remote area
near the banks of the Tanana
river 20 miles south of here.
Agents said they apparently en
gaged in a battle for supremacy
cf a herd of cow moose, their horns
locked and they were unable to
pull free.
Wildlife Agent Charles Gray dis
covered the animals Monday while
flying game patrol.
He swooped low in his plane and
found the moose trapped head-to
head. One was lying on the ground
and appeared to be either seriously
Injured or dead; the other was
standing and making desperate ef
forts to pull free.
Gray said a wolf was lurking In
the brush nearby and the area
around the two animals was cov
ered with wolf tracks. The wolves
apparently were waiting until
both animals were nearly dead
before attacking.
Ray Woolford, chief Fish anti
Wildlife Agent here, flew over the
animals in a light observation
plane yesterday One moose was
still struggling to get free.
Woolford said the death battle
had attracted not only a pack of
wolves, but large flights of black
ravens which were waiting in trees
for the animals to die. and one
huge grizzly bear which he saw
npproaching from three miles
away.
The Fish and Wildlife agents, de
termined to save both moose if pos
sible loaded a cross-cut saw In the
plane and attempted to make a
landing near the animals. However,
they were unable to land the plane
in the willow's and wooded area
i-rox-1 the two moose Another a*
tempt was to~be made today.
The agents planned to saw off
the horns of one of the moose
and free him. They said the
moose that Is still standing ap
peared to be driven wild by the
scent of the wolves, so the job
is expected to be dangerous.
Meanwhile, Fish and Wildlife
planes with armed hunters aboard
patrolled the area to shoot wolves
that approached too close.
“We may even have to shoot that
grizzly," Woolford said. “When he
gets to those moose, he won’t wait
like the wolves and ravens.”
Agents said the two bulls appar
ently were fighting for the herd ol
cow's which now has wandered sev
eral miles away.
“The bulls were fighting for those
ladies but when they got In trouble
the fickle women walked right off
and left them,” Gray said.

Truce Talks
Come Closer
To Agreement
Reds' Proposal Comes
Closer on Buffer Zone;
Two Big Differences
MUNSAN, Korea, Oct. 31—;J>1—
Red truce negotiators offered to
day to create a buffer zone along
their version of the present battle
line in Korea,
They called is their “last and
best approval."
The surprise Red offer approached
demands of the United Nations
command. It brought the two sides
closer together than they ever have
been on the question.
Hopes soared in this truce camp,
nut a U.N. eommand spokesman
said there were two Important
differences between the new Red
offer and the Allied proposal:
1. The Reds want to keep Kaesong,
former truce talks site. The Allies
want to take it over.
2. The Communist version of the
battle line is two or three miles
south of where the Allies place it.
These differences were pointed
out by Col. Andrew J. Kinney, chief
U.N. liaison officer.
Kinney said there were certain
oilier things the U.N. negotiators
could not accept Immediately.
But lie added, the Communist
offer brought the buffer zone
question nearer to a solution than
at any time since truce talks first
started July 10.
Red negotiators submitted their
plan unexpectedly near the close of
Wednesday's meeting of truce sub
committees in a rain-soaked tent
it Panmunjom. The plan was out
ined on a map.
Three times, Kinney said, the
Red delegates said this was “their
last and best proposal.”
“This makes us very suspicious,”
Kinney said.
p Nevertheless, Kinney said, the
new Red proposal “is the biggest
step made on the zone question.”
Major Says He'll
Be Glad to Shew
iron! Line to Reds
EAST CENTRAL FRONT, Korea,
Oct. 31—If)—Maj. Gen. Blackshear
B. Bryan, a division commander,
said tonight he is willing to paint
signs in Chinese in his sector so
the Communists can find out ex
actly where the front line is.
The question of the pinpoint lo
cation of the line is one of the is
sues before the cease-fire negotia
tors at Panmunjom.
Both forces are in new positions
now that the October phase of the
limited allied offensive has ended.
Much no-man’s-land still separates
the two forces since the Chinese re
treated. Both sides are probing to
test the other's defenses.
"He isn't coming down here to
find out,” Briyan said. “But he’s
welcome anytime."
On the cease-fire talks them
selves, allied soldiers resting under
a bright autumn sun indicated
varying degrees of optimism and
pessimism.

Tories Elect Own
Speaker, Commons
LONDON, Oct. 31—l#l—Winston
Churchill's Conservatives elected
one of their own number as speak
er of the new House of Commons
today in the first contest for the
office since 1895.
The winner was W. S. Morrison,
58, a former Minister of Agriculture.
The outcome cut the new govern
ment's overall majority from 18 to
17, since the speaker is traditionally
neutral.
A group of Labor Party insur
gents precipitated the contest over
the speaker. The vote was 318 for
Morrison and 251 for the Labor
candidate, Maj. James Milner. Mil
ner, G2, was deputy speaker in the
old House.
The contest plainly meant that
the Labor Party intends to fight the
new government on every conceiv
able issue, just as Churchill's fol
lowers fought the Labor govern
ment when it was in power.

Former Alaskan
Facing Jury in
Shooting Case
SAN LOUIS OBISPO, Calif., Oct.
31—UFl—The manslaughter trial of
Mrs. Margaret Ryan, wealthy
former New Yorker, moved today
through the painstaking task of se
lecting a jury.
Five tentative jurors were seated
yesterday. It may take until week
end before a jury is completed.
Through the tedious questioning,
the 41-year-old defendant, who
formerly lived in Alaska, sqj straight
faced and unsmiling. She was
smartly clad.
Her lawyer, Jerry Oeisler of Los
Angeles, was asking every venire
man how he felt about shooting
in self defense.
Mrs. Ryan repeatedly has said
she killed Leonard D. Ray, Jr., last
spring when he jabbed a .22 rifle
against her abdomen. She said she
shot him with a pistol in an argu
ment after she asked him, a tres
passer, to get off her ranch.
Traffic Deaths
Mounting fo
1 Million Mark
CHICAGO, Oct. 31—TP)—Traffic
deaths on the nation’s highways
are mounting as expected, toward
the one million mark, the National
Safety Council said today.
The council announced the total
number of deaths for the first nine
months of this year—26,630—which
pushed the gratad total since the
advent of the automobile “well past
990,000.”
That leaves less than 10,000 to
go before the millionth traffic death
is recorded. The council said its
earlier estimate that the millionth
fatality would occur during the
third week of December was un
changed by the latest figures.
September alone accounted for
3,650 persons killed in traffic acci
dents. A factor in this total — the
highest for any month since Sep
tember, 1941 — was the highest
Labor Day traffic death toll on
record.
The nine-month total of 26,620
was eight percent higher than for
the same period in 1950.
