KIN OF SULTAN
 SPURN THRONE

Singapore, Nov. 30 - (UP)-An heir to the throne is wanted in the Federated Malay States of Selan- gor, but nobody can be found to accept the position.
 A few months ago the Sultan of Selangor and his British advisers compelled the sultan's son, Tengku MuSa Iddin, to renounce his rank and title of Raja Muda ("Young Ruler"C which carries the right of succession.
 Tengku Iddin, who now receives a pension of about SIS a week from the state excheQuer, was forced to renounce his title because of dis satisfaction with his mode of liv- ing and the heavy debts he had incurred.
 Since then the aged Sultan has tried to find one among his sons who is willing to accept the title of Raja Muda. One reason for this unwillingness is a superstition which has grown up around the title, for it is a fact that no holder of the title has ever succeeded tu the throne, having either been ie@ posed or died before succession.

 COMING SUNDAY

High Winds Move Boring Ice Out
 Woman Rescued

Under a velocity of 35 miles per hour wind, yesterday, the ice in front of Nome, and along the coast for several miles in both di- rections, moved out from shore for considerable distance.
 The south winds several days ago evidently brought in a strong tide, causing the grounded ice to become afloat, and then the strong westerly wind rapidly pushed it to sea.
 Mrs John Kost, native woman who was fishing tomcod on the Der ing Sea ice opposite the oil dock, was caught out on the ice when it moved away from shore.
 A native by the name of John Ebik who was nearby on shore quickly got his kyak into the water and padded about five hundred feet or more to the moving ice. He plac- ed the native woman inside of the kyak behind tfie paddlers position and brought her safely ashore This incident happened about pm
 It was a close shave and if it had not been for the swift efforts of Ebik it is believed she would have had long ride on the ice before res cue came Others were out on the ice yesterday but according to all reports managed to get ashore be- fore the ice broke and floated to sea. This particular season of the year is a dangerous one for that req son-the strong March winds, al most constantly keeping the ice moving.
