The Wrangell sentinel., 1948-05-21

It was jumping week for Alaska Republicans again, They had had a similar split in Douglas in 1886 and the rupture had failed, over the years, to heal.
 This week they were at it again in Sitka. Territorial Chairman El- ton Engstrom had called the off cial convention in the Territory's first capital for Tuesday last. This is what is known among Republi- cans as the White convention due to the influence of Albert White, General Counselor of the Republi- can party in Alaska, who has been the COP boss since the Douglas split. But anti-White GOPers at tended and when some of them failed to be seated by the White convention. walked out and held a meeting elsewhere. Carrying out their previously established policy they named delegates to the Phila- delphia convention June IS and set up a Republican trump organiza- tion. They named R. E. Robertson anu SdSh SOlt Ol anu 1dNtA Clausen of Anchorage as delegates to Philadelphia and J. s. MacKin- non of Juneau as trump Territorial Chairman. They also recommended to the National Committee the ap- pointment of Cap Lathrop of Fair banks as National Committeeman and Mrs. Louise Clegg of Fairbanks as National Committeewoman. Int White convention named Labor Commissioner Henry Benson, Jane Dorsh of Fairbanks and Julius Nor. ris of Anchorage as delegates tC Philadelphia and the Republicans weren't through rumping. Some oi had a meeting called for Mckinley Park on June which they are labelling the Republican Territoria convention Whether the McKinle! meeting would endorse the rumI convention delegates named at Sit ka or elect still another set re- mained to be seen. At any rate the battle for control of the Repub- hcan party in Alaska was going or as usual.

WEATHER HALTS | SEARCH FOR SAILOR
 MISSING ON MT. JUNEAU

JUNEAU - Search for Seaman First Class Ralph Earl Mott, 20, of the cruiser Astoria who disappear eu whine climbing Mt. Juneau here last rlday, has been held up the past four days because of weather. search parties are ready to resume the hunt when conditions are con sIdered safe. The mountain has been shrouded in fog and rain, with occasional snow and rock and snow slides have been frequent
 seaman Mott was seen going up the rugged mountain Friday and it is believed he tried the descent on a face of the mountain where there is no trajl and where rock and snow slides are frequent. Search CTS believe they have traced his steps to a point just below the summit but the treacherous face of cliffs made searching slow and difficult. Planes have taken aerial views of the vicinity and they are being studied.
 Motts father, Harold Mott, is a resident of Mahaffey, Pa.
 Boy Dies On Pole
 AS a direct result of Mott's dis appearance Danny Kuntz, former Wrangell Institute lad, was elec- trocuted when he climbed a high tension tower to get better view of the searching parties on Mt. Juneau When the boys body "Iroze" to the cross arm, Earl Wat ans climbed the tower to remove II. Although the power was order ed shut off. Watkins made a pre- lautionary brush at the line with his hat to see whether it was still alive" The shock he received jared him loose and sent him plummeting to he ground 75 feet below. Hospital attendants said he would recover although he reeeiy- ed six broken ribs, fractured verte- brae, arm and hand burns and par tial paralysis of the left leg.

Seamen's Grievances
Aired al Union Farley
On Freighter al Sea
By Fred Sporks
Foreign Correspondent Of rhs Star and

ABOARD THE STEAMSHIP
AMERICAN PACKER, Nov. 25.-
They were having union meeting
on this freighter so dropped in
and listened.
About 40 men-moSt of them
younger than 30-crowded into the
crews mess. Everybody was slipping
coffee. Through the portfolios the
North Atlantic bobbed and weaved
like green jello.
A young chap with Shanghai"
tattooed on husky right forearm
stood up and said:
THE hot cakes were not fit to eat
this morning. Myself, I like a good
meal and I want to know why"
The Chinese cook took the de-
fense: IT'S not me. The baking
powder is no good"
The complaint was referred to the
proper committee-just like on Capt.
tol Hill.
Eggs Are Discussed.
Next order of business concerned
fresh eggs: "The officers are get
ting them for breakfast every morn
ing-I seen them eating them! Why
don't we?"
The Chinese cook on stage again:
"They brings own fresh eggs. Keeps.
them icebox So they don't have for
breakfast get up early,
The matter of fresh eggs stirred a
sailor wearing dirty T-shirt: Say,
what happened to the fresh eggs
laid by the chickens we had aboard
last trip? Who got the eggs? Did
the officers?"
No one knew. The mystery of the
seagoing chickens and their eggs
was turned over to proper authori-
ties.
Other Complaints.
Other matters debated concerned:
A door which keeps slamming
all night
Lack of proper foul weather"
gear for sale in the "slop chest"
or ships store
Spilling of coffee on the deck.
