GRIM BATTLE. IS FOUGHT ON BOARD VESSEL

PETERSBURG, Alaska, Jan. 19. -tRl-A grim battle for survival was enacted in and on the cold waters of Peril Straits near Morris Reef at 1:30 Sunday afternoon in which one man was thrown over board and two other nearly suf- fered the same fate The motor boat Acme was towing the APO p en route from Sitka to Seattle, with Skipper Harold Hofstad, First Mate Frank Johnson, Seamen Jack Sny- der and George Jones. When near ing Morris Reef, Seaman Jones, who had shipped at Sitka for the trip, called Johnson to the side to see something in the distance
 Johnson, straining his eyes for whatever seemed invisible, was seiz- cd by Jones and thrown overheard. Then Jones summoned Snyder to come out of the pilot house. As Snyder came out he perceived Johnson overheard. and hollered at Hofstad Johnson overheard" Hofstad stopped the tug at once and started to launch a skiff as Jones grabbed him from behind and tried to throw him overheard.
 Hofstad grabbed the stays and asked Snyder to hit Jones, which he did with the side of fire axe and beat him to the deck.
 Hofstad then put skiff over the side and went to the rescue of Johnson who had been in the water Is minutes.
 On return to the Acme, Hofstad heard Snyder, who had been left to guard Jones, calling for help. On getting back to the tug Hofstad climbed aboard and found Jones trying to throw Snyder overheard. Hofstad beat Jones to uncon- sciousness with a pipe wrench and tied him up.
 They then proceeded to New England cannery at Chatham where the watchman made an emergency call and passing Alaska Coastal Airlines plane stopped and offer ed to take Jones to Sitka where he is now in the hospital. The Acme will leave Petersburg today to con- tint1p thn trin tn Snottlo
 Much more could be added to this grim tale of the heroic rescue of Johnson by Hofstad as the skiff which he used was nearly swamp ed, and with failing strength he was barely able to haul the semi conscious Johnson aboard, only to hear the frantic cries of Snyder calling for help.

HOOPER BAY E NOW
 ADVANCED VILLAGE

The Eskimo village of Hooper Bay has been greatly mislatled accord ing to Bob Druxman, Juneau public relations counsel who recently made an inspection of Arctic conditions for the Alaska Native Service.
 Don c. Foster, ANS General Sup erintendent revealed today that Druxman found many indications, during his visit there. that Hooper Bay is an advanced village contain ing many modern improvements.
 Most of the Hooper Bay inhabi- tants speak and understand the English language more fluently than in some Villages visited on the tour. Many homes have electric lights and radios and many have moved out of the sod igloo type of con- struction in favor of more modern frame and log homes.
 Druxman denied that Hooper Bay is primitive or the so-called Jump ing off place" of Alaska. He said the people are friendly, ambitious, industrious and willing to advance toward further benefits of civilza- ton.
 The majority of Hooper Bay cit izens are in better than average financial condition due to summer employment at Bristol Bay canner- ies.
 The advancement of the Hooper Bay village to the work and leader ship given, over a period of years is attributed by Alaska Native Serv- ice personnel and Catholic priests who have also been stationed there
 The village is located on the bay of the same name about 200 miles south of Nome on the Boring Sea coast

SUSPENSE DRAMA ONLY TONIGHT AT
 CAPITOL THEATRE

Secret Beyond the Door" said to be an unusual suspense drama. is the feature at the Capitol theatre for tonight only. It stars Joan Ben nett and Michael Redgrave, Eng fish actor making his American film debut.
 Redgrave, one of the top ten stars of the English screen. is perfectly cast as the architectural editor who as a hobcy collects rooms in which murders have been committed and adds them as wings to his ancestral mansion. There he brings Miss Ben nett as the bride he wooed and won in d whirlwind courtship in Old Mexico, where the picture opens
 Miss Bennett is not long installed in her husbands home when a suc- cession of ugly incidents arise to plague her and test the marriage vows so recently uttered. She learns that her husband is a dangerous schizophrenic, that he is under the dominance of an older sister, that he is suspect in the death of his first wife, that he has a secretary who was planning to marry him, and an adolescent son he had neglected to mention.
 Believing that love will find a way, the harried bride does some mental probing that finally bares and then corrects the alteration be- setting the husband.
 Anne Revere, Academy Award winner for National Velvet" plays the sister; Barbara O'Neil is equally delft as the sinister secretary, while Natalie Schafer in a comedy role lends a touch of lightness most welcome at points where tension reaches precipitation pitch.

Gen. Vaughan Surprised His Sketch Lands in Art Show

The art Of Presidential Aide
Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan is
going on exhibit in New York-a

wife.

first offense as an artist-and
probably my last"
The sketch, which an imagi-
native soul has entitled Path of
Investigation" shows two pump
kin heads seated at a table by
the side of a road leading uphill
toward scrawled question mark.
The general rejects all claims to
the title.
In fact. he thought the picture,
drawn as result of a waggish
wager, was in the wastebasket."

submitted by Agriculture Secre-
tary Brannan and two members

this: /
A mutual friend brought

one day and conversation de-
veloped the fact the stranger was
an artist of Sorts-impressionistic

| New Jerseys gubernatorial cleo
ton pits Gov. Alfred E. Driscoll
Republican. against State Senator
Elmer H. Wene. Democrat. who
earlier served three terms in the
House. There the Republicans
seem to be in line for victory
although the Democrats deny it.
New Jersey was a banner Repub-
lican State last year, and if it
should go Democratic on Tuesday,
Republican morale would suffer
a jolt throughout the country.
Hague Backing Hurts Wene.
The Democrats are counting ON
Republican OBJECTIONS and lack of
interest in Gov. Driscoll by more
conservative Republicans of the
type of former Senator Hawkes..
The Republicans, for their part,
view with satisfaction the issue
of "Hagueism' which is splitting
the Democrats. part of whom wish
to see former Mayor Frank Hague
! of Jersey City-chief supporter of
Mr.. Wene-sunk without trace.
Gov. Driscoll won in 1916 by
200. 900 votes. If he wins. he will
be the first New Jersey Governor
to be reelected for two consecu-
tive terms. The State constitu-
ton was changed since his first
as Republican, he won both the
succeed himself. and the guberna-
torial term was increased from
three to four years.
The only other gubernatorlal
election this year is in Virginia
where Democratic victory is the
regular thing. John S. Battle,
who won the Democratic nomina-
ton with the support of the Byrd
organization over Francis Perkens
Miller by about $4,000 votes. is
opposed by Walter johnson. Re-

Democratic District.
While the late Representative
WEIGH of California served for a
/ quarter of a century in the House
as Republican. he won both the
Democratic and Republican nomi-
nations in his district. a part of
San Francisco. Democratic regis
tration in the district in 1948 was
1853. l52 compared to 1885 for the
Republicans. Each assembly dis

will be held for city controller, city

all these offices by pluralities
ranging from 10000 to 10000. In
Scranton. Democratic Mayor
James T. Hanlon is seeking re-
election. He won in l945 by 588
votes, the first Democratic mayor
in "a years.
Curley Opposition Split.
Municipal elections are being
held in 81 Massachusetts cities
principal among them Boston.
Mayor James M. Curley. veteran
Democrat, is seeking reelection
in Boston against a dozen other
candidates. The fact that the
field is so divided is expected to
result In the reelection of Mr..
Curley. although John B. Hynes,
city clerk. is putting up a strong
fight for the Office.
Louisville is electing a Mayor
and other city officials. The pres
ent city administration is Demo-
cratic. but the last mayoralty
election in 1945 was won by only
22l votes in more than $4,000
cast.
OF considerable interest are the
municipal elections in Connecti-
cut cities, because the State next
year will elect two Senators and
a Governor. Among the cities
which will choose mayors are
Bridgeport. where Jasper McLevy,
Socialist. is seeking his ninth con-
secutive two-year term: New
Haven. where the Mayor is q
Republican, and Waterbury,
which also has a Republican
Mayor.
