Death Ends Career
Of Marie Hudiey,
Historical Figure

A historical era, the pioneer
ing age, an age-old institution,
and the name Dutch Emma"
probably better known than that
of Seward itself, ended Monday,
Dec. 10, with the death of Mrs.
Emma Marie Hadley.
Born in Germany, Dec. %,
1881, Mrs. Hadley would have
been 50 years old this Friday.
She was the sort of person, often
found in Alaska, Of whom every
body knows, yet nobody knows
much about.
1t is known that she had been
in business in Seward for more
than 20 years, that early his
tories of the Yukon gold rush
mentioned her by a different
name. She lived for some time
in Fairbanks and was on the
scene at the beginning of the
railroad camp called Anchorage
1t is said Of her that she was
generous, would help out any
body who was in need or in a
tight spot that she was a
shrewd bargainer and a smart
financier.
Mrs. Hadley's estate has been
estimated to be from $4,000 to
$4,000, but the will has not
been found.
Funeral arrangements have
not been announced.

Don't Burn Lights
On Chrisfmcs Tree
Unfi! After Rush Hour

Because Of the critical short
age of power, Jack Jordan, man
ager of Seward Electric System,
asks that Christmas trees and
decorative lighting not be turn
ed on until after the peak load
is relieved at 700 o'clock.
A little tree burning from
so TO 100 kW's per hour does
not amount to much, Mr.. Jordan
explained, but when multiplied
by 500 it puts a tremendous
strain on the already loaded
power plant.
Plant operators are hoping
against hope that they can get
us through the winter without
a power failure, but every added
appliance increases the load to
the extent that someone is liable
to be without power before the
winter is over.
If everybody does his bit by
conserving on tree lights until
after ZOO o'clock at night, it
will be great help.
The community tree on 4th
Avenue will not be lighted until
ZOO p.n1

Coal Union Pleads Innocent In
 Contempt Charge

WASHINGTON, (P) - John L. Lewis United Mine Workers to- day pleaded innocent to contempt charges resulting from the failure of 372,000 miners to return to work under court order.
 The union waived it's right to argue it's case before a jury, and decided to let Judge Richmond B. Keech rule on the evidence as well as the law.
 The big question is whether the union is responsible for the re- fusal of the coal miners to go back to work.
 Keech issued an order Feb. II for return to work, but the min CTS have ignored it.
 The unions attorneys have con- tended that the miners are acting individually-that the union itself has nothing to do with the the present strike.
 Once the unions plea was for mally entered, the government began attempting to show that the union is responsible for keep ing the mines idle to the point of a national coal famine.

Plane Scheduled To Land At North Pole Next Summer

SEATTLE, CP)-Sometime this summer an airplane is scheduled to make the first recorded land ing at the North Pole-and among it's passengers will be the Rev. Bernard Hubbard, s. J.
 It will be a thrilling climax to 23 years of Arctic exploration for the noted "glacier priest"
 'For years I have looked for ward to conducting mass at the North Pole," he said here.
 Father Hubbard, who has GOV cred thousands of miles on foot in the Far North, climbing snow covered peaks, studying Volca- noes, and gathering a wide vari- ety of scientific data, will make the forthcoming flight in a United States air force plane.
 "The air force has made 400 flights over the Pole" he said, "but no one has landed there-at least no United States plane.
 "We plan to stay a full day. It is important to learn all we can about actual conditions on the top of the world.
 "As more planes fly over the Polar region we know some will be lost-but we want to save the men. It's to gain the information on survival there, and to perfect the rescue program, that this flight is planned"
 At the North Pole the ice at tainS a maximum thickness of about IS feet, and the tempera- ture rises considerably above zero, Father Hubbard said.
 "In fact, it rains there some times," he added.
 Among other things, the party will sound the ocean.
 ''It is reported to be l4,000 feet deep, but we want to find out for sure," he said.
 Father Hubbard, who lectured and showed his latest color mo- ton pictures of the Far North at the civic auditorium last week, said he considers the defense of Alaska is progressing satisfactor-

News of the World At 4 Glance ---
Saturday. February 25. 1850 By The Associated Prcss)

Britain's Labor government de- cided today to carry on despite its slim parliamentary majority.
 Of 625 seats in the new House of Commons, it looked as it Labor might have only a majority of nine. That is perhaps the smallest parliamentary majority in a cen tury and may prove unavoidable.
 Political experts said the regime that will carry on will be care takes government" without the strength to carry out Labor pOli- cies. They speculated that Prime Minister Attlee would attempt to get sufficient agreement in Parlla- ment to pass a budget and settle a number of emergency matters. After that he might have to ask the King to order new election.
 The Wobbly position of the government is a blow to the Mar shall Plan and Atlantic Pact arch itectS attempting to strengthen Europe. Much of the new Europe was anchored on a stable govern ment in Britain.
 In the previous parliament La Dor had a majority of 146 seats which made it one of the strongest governments in the world.
 A Labor party spokesman said a majority of 30 was the minimum with which any single-party gov ernment could effectively get through its major policies.
 The United States government announced last night the freezing of all assets held in the United States by citizens of Bulgaria, Ro- mania, and Hungary. This an nouncement, following a break in diplomatic relations with Bull garia earlier in the week, brought American relations with the three Eastern European countries to a new low.
 The justice department said the assets of the Communist-domin- ated countries weer frozen be- cause of a delay in compensating American claims in the three communist nations.
 On his way out of Bulgaria, U. s. minister Donald R. Heath, com mcnted today on the seVering of U. S.-Bulgarian diplomatic rela- tions. At Nis, Yugoslavia, he said that Bulgaria conducted "a de liberate, meticulously pla n e d campaign to creat fear and dis trust of the United States and to violate the rules not only of di- plomacy, but of civilization
 He said that despite the gov ernment's campaign the Bulgar- ian people have a basic liking for western culture and look with sympathy to the demoCracieS of the west
 Chinese communist radio broad casts said Red forces have cap tured the island of Mamoa, l90 miles from Formosa, the National ist governments island bastion. Nationalists said the landing fol- lowed an artillery barrage from the mainland and the island was only weakly defended
 The Nationalist Chinese said on Formosa today that guerrilla war fare is spreading throughout com munist China. They reported guer- rilla activity in seven provinces and predicted nationalist air raids
