BLAST INJURES3
 WHEN R.R. SpEEDER.
 STOPS NEAR ROCK

ANCHORAGE Alaska, May IT, R-Three men were hospitalized yesterday-two of them Northwest residents-because an Alaska Rail- road speeder made an untimely stop alongside a huge rock which work men were trying to break with a dynamite blast.
 Most seriously injured was Earl Sargent of Benton, Wash. A piece of rock was reported hurled through his face. He was to be flown to the states for treatment.
 Also injured were Edward Lass, 36, of Anchorage, and Robert How land, 32, who has wife and four children living at Ocean Lake, Ore Rowland was expected to be re- leased today.
 Four other riders of the speeder were treated and released.
 The mishap occurred Monday night near Rainbow, about 20 miles south of here on the railroad.
 Gus Rathert, Morrison -Knudson Company project engineer, said the workmen had been unable to budge the rock with a bulldozer and had planted seven sticks of dynamite beneath it in an effort to disIodge it.
 Just as the trigger was pulled the speeder came around a curve and stopped opposite the face of the rock" Rathert said.
 There wasn't a chance to warn them. The charge threw small rocks everywhere and caught them as they were about to unload their tools."
 It was the second such accident near Rainbow in recent weeks. Three men were killed outright and an- other died later in an explosion on a portion of the giant Turnagain Arm railway-highway project re- gently. They were employed by the Max J. Kuney Construction Com pany.
 Two MIX workers were killed March 26 and IA others injured when a speeder collided with an Alaska Railroad train near Rain bow.

HUB ELECTRICIANS.
 WAhI UNION SH0p;| POWER SYSTEM SAFE

ANCHORAGE Alaska, May IT, R-Negotiations were to resume to- day toward settling the strike called by about 60 construction project workers of the International Broth erhood of Electrical Workers (AFD.
 The issues are the same as those threatening Fairbanks with a power tieup, union shop being the main demand.
 However, the city's contract with the union has not expired, so the local power system is not affected, as it is at Fairbanks.
 Lou Taylor. business agent of Local 1547, Anchorage, said the union did not plan any picket lines unless contractors start hiring non- union electricians.
 If we establish picket line l don't believe any union man would cross it." he said we don't want to halt building; we want a con- tract. No contract, no work"
 Major construction projects here and at Fort Richardson are affected. John Natures, business manager of the Puget Sound Chapter, National Electrical Contractors Association, arrived yesterday to take part in ne- gotiation talks.

JURY E SELECTED
 IN CASE OF PILOT
 OF PLANE IN CRASH

SEATTLE, May 17-R-A jury of two women and 10 men has been selected to hear Civil Aeronautics Administration charges against the pilot in an airliner crash which killed nine persons.
 The defendant is James E. Farris.
 The CAA in a complaint filed by Assistant United States Attorney Vaughn Evans charged Farris with making an instrument approach to Seattle-Tacoma airport at a time when the ceiling was below the minimum prescribed for that type of craft.
 It also charged him with making a faulty landing.
 Farris denies violating the CAA regulations, saying he was making an emergency landing. He contends that one of the engines was faulty and that the crafts brakes were imperative.
 The plane, operated by Alaska Airlines, ran off the runway, down an enbankment and crashed on the highway on Nov 30, 1947.
 The case, being heard in Federal Judge John E. BoYen's court is a civil action and involves maxi mum penalty of $l,000 on each ot the two counts.

Became acclaimed Hero Of North
. Second And Final InstalIment Of Life Story =

1908 the first race was held in
Nome with the Norwegian John
Hegnes finishing the 40S-mile
stretch from Candle to Nome
first. In subsequent years top
notchers like Scotty Allen and
Iron Man Johnson, the Finn, be-
came champions with Johnson es-
tablishing the all-time record of
"a hours and Ia minutes.
Seppala's first dog team race
was virtually won with the incom-
parable aid of raven. Seppala' S
dog team wasn't doing too good
and vigorous opponent threat
ened from behind, when the dogs
suddenly saw a black raven fly up
ahead of them. The bird spurred
them on. 1t stopped. The dogs
lurched forward with terrific force,
hoping to catch it. The bird moved
on, stopping about half a mile
ahead at different intervals as if
it wanted to tease the dogs. And
they were leased. So leased that
they covered the 42-mile stretch
first.
Seppala's entry into the Alas
kan Sweepstake races, 1914, was
dramatic even though he didn't
win. 1t could have ended with
death, for his team driven onward
by the wind, was running along
the edge of a steep cliff and was
about to go straight ahead-over
it. Seppala noticed the danger in
time. But alas, the wind was so
powerful that when he turned

Swedish Opera
Stars Make Hit
At Metropolitan

Set SVanhOlm and Blanche The
bonn for the first time assumed
the roles of "Lohengrin" and
"Ortrud' at the Metropolitan
Opera on January 10, when Wag-
ner's "Lohengrin" was given,
under the direction of Fritz Stied-
ry.
The New York Times referred to
Mr.. Svanholm and Miss Thebom
as two of the most intelligent
singing and acting members of the
(Metropolitan) company, adding
that both were outstanding.
New York Herald Tribune wrote
that the Swedish tenor invested
many of the outspokenly dramatic
passages with cleaning sounds,
sang with unfailing musical intel
ligence." OF Miss Thebom, who was
born in the United States of SWe-
dish parents, the same paper said
that she proved worthy of follow
ing in the footsteps of some of
the finest delineators of this eX-
acting role who have appeared at
