By Jack Daum

Fairbanks News Miner Staff Writer (Written for the Associated Press
 FISHWEEL, Alaska, Oct. 27.-R Residents of this gold-secking tent village represent a fairly ac- curate cross-section of Alaska natives, old timers, cheechakos and business men,
 The old-timers are a quiet group going about their business with the calm efficiency born of many years of experience in the north. Their entire equipment for a months stay in this treacherous wilderness is carried in a large pack. A tent, a collapsible stove, a few pounds of dehydrated vegetables and dried meat, an axe and gun are all these redoubtable .charac- 5ers require.
 But the. cheechakos-Indian for newcomers-arrive like motion pie tuce stars on an ocean voyage. Huge bundles of clothing, canned .ood, fancy lanterns, heavy stoves and many small comfort items are piled on the river hank in hurried disorder.

No Fate on Barroom Floor in Fairbanks;
 Bonanza Unheard of

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Oct. 27-R As the first gold strike" excite ment was subsiding, some old AL aska hands threw cold water today on gold prospects of the new min ing claim area at Fishwheel.
 At the same time, air lines here said reports of plane loads of gold rushers flying in from the states were not suhstantiated. Pan Am erican Airways, Alaska Airlines and Golden North Airways said there was no increase in passenger traf- fife from outside. The report of several plane loads arriving came from Washington, DC, yesterday. One of the bluntest 'scold water reports came today from Tom Will son. a steamfitter who returned from the Yukon River gold rush scene.
 There is no gold in Flshwheel," 1" he satl. He said he had talked to 20 men who staked claims but ,ound no gold.
 Its a shame to get those poor devils up there who don't know anything about this Arctic wealth er," he declared-"poor cheechakos in plain stateside overcoats; no heat; no food, no nothing but hope that apparently has sprung from somebody's dream"
 Residents of this city, closest to the Yukon River rush area 16O miles away were amused at tales of an influx of prostitutes n d gamblers. Persons returning from the scene said there was none of either and the existing conditions weren't conducive to them.
 In fact, the old-time gold rush. CTS would hardly recognize Fair banks as the over-grown settlement they once knew.
 Gambling is under official ban :lere. Even slot machines and punch boards are imperative. The only open card games are pan, indulged in by some of the old | timers.

piNEAppLE BARGE
 UNL0ADED; ARMED !. GUARDS AT DOCK

THE DALLES, Ore. Oct. 27--tR "A pineapple barge, cause of river front violence here month ago. was being unloaded today under protection of shotgun guards and court order.
 It was resumption of riot-halted work, coming swiftly on the heels of a restraining order issued late yesterday by Circuit Judge Malcolm w. Wilkinson against CIO longshoremien.
 The order was served on the pickets this morning and they left.
 A non-union unloading crew, hired by the Port of The Dalles, then went to work. The first sling load of the canned pineapple, des- tined for San Jose. Calif.. can- nery, was moved to boxcar standing on spur track teside the terminal.
 Sheriff's deputies-some of them farmers dressed in work clothes stood by with shotguns over their arms.

PILOTS HIT NUGGETS BUT DON'T BELIEVE 6TRIkE WILL PAN OUT

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Oct. 27-- R-Several wouldbe Anchorage prospectors have returned, con- vinced that Fishwheel, thesboom- Ing tent town up on the Yukon Hates near the Arctic Circle, is hot gold country.
 Amateurs and professionals are pretty well convinced, but they're afraid to leave for fear they'll miss something" Bill Lund, Alaska Air Lines pilot, said on his return from Fishwheel.
 Lund, with Robert Stevenson, Northern Consolidated Airlines pi- lot, went to the Yukon area over the weekend and came up with two of the few nuggets. he said had been found at the river.
 we made hole in the ice on the edge of the main stream right near Discovery Stevenson said. We pushed our axe down into the muck and dug out some of the stream bed. It froze right in our hands
 T was all set to throw it all away but Lund kept banning it. That's when he found the first nugget W
 They dug a second hole a n Lund again banned a nugget in his first pan.
 But we didn't get thing in the next 200 or 300 shovels full," Stew enson said glumly. He said the pilots showed the nuggets to a prospector named Gaylord.
 Lord, he shouted the news to everyone in sight. They grabbed all their tools and lit out in every direction. Even the old-timers got excited"
 Asked about the value of the gold he banned, Lund shrugged.
 Its worth about 60 cents l guess. From my experience it seems the gold is at the grassroots. It hasn't travelled far yet. The near est hill is over a score of miles away It is surface gold, but I can't imagine where it came from.
 Everyone is getting colors (small flashes of gold) such as you might find anywhere. But I didn't see any nuggets besides my own and Car rolls
 Clifton Carroll started the stam- pede when he found nuggets the size of peas" stuck to the muck on the axle of his fishwheel, after which the boomtown has been named That was two weeks ago.
 Lund and Stevenson did not file claims.

BIG PURGE STARTED ON
 tI0 UNIONS

CLEVELAND, Oct. 27.-R-- The CLOS confident right-wing majority planned today to expell at least three-or maybe all 12- unions whose leaders have shown pro-Ccmmunist sympathy.
 A resolutions committee under the United Auto Workers head, Walter P Reuther, stood ready to fight it out on the floor of next weeks convention if necessary
 It is determined to oust the three unions most critical of Philip Mur- rays leadership, the Electrical Workers, with nearly 100000 mem- bcrs, the Farm Equipment Workers with about 50,000, and the Mine Mill and Shelter Workers numb. ering around 100000.
 The plan of action decided upon by the powerful right-wing faction but subject to plenty of pressure before it can be put into effect calls for kicking out the three un- ions next Wednesday.
 A big question mark is what would happen to Harry Bridges of the Longshoremen and Ben Gold Of the Fur and Leather Workers if the rightist coup succeeds. Bridg- es lcng has srearheaded the left wing criticism Of Murray in the CIO and Geld admits he is member of the Communist Party.

Burning Holes Nearing Rotk;; Outcome Hangs in Balance as
 Newcomers Pour in by Plane

 FISHWHEEL, Alaska, Oct 27- R-The future of Fishwheel bal anced on a knife edge today. On one side is fame, fortune and riches; on the other-disillusion- nent and despair
 We should know in a few days whether the pea-sized nuggets of old found ty Clifton Carroll last week touched off a boom or a just.
 Prospect holes now being sunk have reached coarse sand at about six feet. Sand usually covers the gravel which lies on top of the all-important bedrock. If gold is here, it will be on the bedrock.
 The holes are dug by burnine fire on top of the ground for about six hours. This thaws the ground about foot down and the prospector digs out the moist earth and starts another fire. It's a slow, torturous process but the only possible method here where no heavy equipment is to be had.
 Ed Farrell, veteran of the Dawson gold rush, has been pro- specting the streams of Alaska since 19C0. He has his hole down five feet and should hit bedrock in about two days.
 A BREEZE NOW
 Why this is nothing" said Ed as we walked away from the hole where he had just lit new fire. Tn the Dawson rush there was a line of holes two miles long with fire and smoke coming out of each one. In those days a man didn't mind a little work
 Farrell thinks the modern pro- spector is lazy-"expects to have the gold jump up and hit him in the face"
 He also remained optimistic de- spite the absence of even an ounce of gold in commercial quantities.
 That doesn't indicate thing, Tn the Fairbanks strike years ago there weren't one-terith the indi- cations shown here so far" he ex- plained. We are finding color consistently and a few nuggets have been taken out-that's enough to warrant a few days working and burning out hole"
 Meanwhile, dozens of newcom- CTS are pouring in each day Three planes landed on Magoffin Field before am. yesterday. The field "a quarter mile stretch of river sufficiently frozen to support 450 horsepower planes = was named after Jim Magoffin, first bush pi- lot to land on it.
