ALASKA TRIP NOT so
EASY IN SMALL BOAT

Joe Lubin, who surrendered his
occupation of piano tuner to see
Alaska first hand, arrived in Ket-
chikan on his 16-foot boat, Diana,
completing a 35-day trip from Sc
attic says the Chronicle. Mr..
Lubin will remain in Ketchikan
for a few days repairing his boat
and before proceeding north. When
he left Seattle his goal was An
chorage, but now he is rather du-
bious about crossing the Gulf of
Alaska in his small boat, which is
powered by Ford motor.
When he left Seattle on May
81, he had a companion with him,
but when they reached Swanson
Bay, the companion obtained job
with a logging company and gave
up his desire to wander. Mr.. Lubin
proceeded to Prince Rupert where
he was held in jail for five days
until he revealed the whereabouts
of his partner.
En- route to the Canadian town
his boat was swamped three times,
resulting in his losing his provis-
ions and causing damage to the
boat. AS he lacked funds, each
swapping incident made his trav-
els more precautions, but each time
hospitable fishermen replenished
his larder.

Sparkler Bought On Credit Proves
 Unlucky For Selle
FaIsifcation of Contract Claimed - Case Continued Under Sl,OOO Bond Judge Meyer Comments or Method of Procedure in Action

$125 ring Sel1e claimed that he was employed in ~Naugatuck as elec- trician's helper and did odd jobs for a friend He gave the name of Matthew Scully as his employer, but it developed on investigation that no one knew of his connec- tions with Mir Scully. The latter will be presented in court to-mor- row morning, a continuance of one day under $1.000 bonds being or dered to investigate the youths statements.
 It was stated by the jewelry store representative that Selle had stated that he was giving the ring to a young woman acquaintance, but when he called at the girls house her mother stated that she had not seen any ring. When Selle was asked for the ring he informed the agent that he had taken few glasses of beer and started to shoot a game of crap. He lost what cash he had and then: obtained a loan on his ring. He has been un- able, he claimed. to meet the chap with the sparkler.
 Judge T. V. Meyer expressed the opinion that statements of credit customers should be investigated before they were given any valu- ables. It's a case of asking the court to close the barn door af- ter the horse had been stolen, he remarked.

By GEORGE H. BEALE United Press Staff Correspondent


 Phoenix, Ariz. Jan 26-(UP)- Mrs Arthur Lepker, 22, petite and comedy blond said to have been a party companion of Winnie Ruth Judd, was expected to tell today of threats Mrs Judd is alleged to have made against anyone "who inter- feres between me and my friend"

 Miss Samuelson and Mrs Leroi, room mates, were killed within seconds of each other and Mrs Judd may later be tried on the charge she murdered Miss Samuel son.
 Through testimony of Mrs Lep- ker and Miss Moore the state hopes to prove a jealousy motive and possible reconciliation. Mrs Lepker is not unfamiliar with murder trials here since she recently sat beside her husband former flyweight champion o1 Arizona when he was found guilty of second degree murder in the staying of Frank Edwards.
 Before the two attractive wom- en were called, County Attorney Lloyd Andrews was expected te give the jury the confession letter which he got into evidence late yesterday.
 In the nine-page message to hei husband. Mrs Judd told story o1 the slayings, claiming to have sho Miss Samuelson in self defense ant , then to have killed Mrs Leroi be- cause she would hand me ovel to the police"

 become highly probable. In the second place. by keeping watch of local indications, and also, per haps. by taking a sly look at the official weather map, the rain-

The business is about the safest gamble going. and several Ameri- can citizens have amassed con- siderable fortunes and have ac- quired wide celebrity by pretend, ing to conjure water out of the clouds.
 Some years ago the owner of q big California farm offered to pay $2,O00 for two inches of rain in three days, provided the rain-maker would put up $200 to be forfeited in case of failure. The offer was declined. though the conditions al the time were not undfavorable for rain. and showers to the extent of four inches actually fell within the next 4S hours.
