Report Mysterious Explosions Near Big Diomede

ANCHORAGE, P)-Recent un- explained explosions on or near Russian-owned Big Diomede is land in the Boring Strait were re- ported here last Saturday.
 MT and Mrs. Frank Morgan, of Anchorage, returned Friday with the report from Little Diomede Is- land, owned by the United States and only three miles from the Soviet Far East island outpost.
 The Morgans said that several times during a four-months stay on Little Diomede they heard loud noises at sea. They believed the noises may have been from a survey ship taking soundings or from the Siberian mainland. Fog prevented them from locating the sources.
 The Morgans expreshed doubt that the Russians are bolstering Big Diomede as Eskimos reported that only one Soviet plane was on the island last winter.
 The natives also reported that the Russian island was strangely inactive, Morgan said. Last spring, tourists said the island was being evacuated of its residents as the Russians prepared to construct a large base on Big Diomede. No large construction is evident there, Morgan said.

LOCAL ELk5 ARE
 AHEAD IN BOWL
 WITH SkAGWAY

Juneau Elks' top ten bowlers have been able to keep Skagway's main task force from getting into the trophy case, at least as far as Fri day night bowling was concerned The last ball tossed found the Ju- neau Elks ahead by 1252 pin mar gin
 Today will find the Skagway boys putting into play all their heavy stuff and the Juneau Elks are look ing for replacemerts as the top ten, although ahead, appear to be breaking under the strain.
 All in all, Friday found many ex- cellent shots being made and spec tators more than once stood with tenseness written on their faces as the fifth or sixth strike in a roll faced the bowler.
 The Skagway bowlers are wonder ful sports and have never for one moment allowed Juneau to rest on any margin. Today should be as interesting in Juneau as the big ABC tournament.

Yeah, but I got Joe Pagel" That has been Casey StengepS stock reply in nearly every discus sion concerning the relative merits of his New York Yankees and the power-laden Boston Red Sox.

LICENSE OF SANDER REVOKED, MONTHS; PROBE IS INDICATED
By the Associated Press

Dr. Hermann Sanders license to practice medicine in New Hamp- shire has been revoked for at least the next two months. The state board of registration in medicine announced the decision after, long study of the case of the doctor acquitted last month on a so-called mercy murder charge.
 The five-doctor board said it had found unanimously that pr. Sand CTS character is such as to re- quife revocation of his license un- der the law. The ruling noted hat it was not proved in court that an air injection the doctor admitted giving Mrs. Abhie c. Bor- roto killed her. But it said he still had committed an act that could not have helped his dying cancer patient.
 Immediately after the state boards ruling was announced. a member of the New Hampshire legislature announced he would seek an investigation by that body. State Representative George My haver says he wants to find out why, in his words, "the State Med ical Board revoked pr. Sanders license when he had already been acquitted by court
 The board hinted that Dr. San der might apply for reinstatement in two months. A line in it's deci- sion said: No application for re- instatement by Dr. Sander would be entertained prior to June 10. 1950."

The Chrysler strike is the only

citation yesterday at a luncheon
in the Lee House, Fifteenth and
L streets NV.
But I don't mean that tomor-
row morning something else may
not break out" he added. ~
Mr.. Ching made only an oblique
reference to the threatening mari
time strike. He said it was un-
fortunate so much attention
became centered on coal and mari
time situations. The public lost
sight, he said, of "the hundreds of
thousands of labor contracts ne
gotiated every year where you hear
nothing about it,"
He reminded the group that the
Nations big-scale experience with
collective bargaining the Wagner
Act is only Is years old. He
said that brought so many un-
disciplined labor organizers with
out experience in labor relations,
together with so many anti-union
employers with no experience in
labor relations, that it is a wonder
there was not an explosion"
