The order prescribes a heavy penalty for violation of these regulations.
 The present unloading opera tion is an exception to the stop order on Alaskan ports. Unusual precautions are being taken, unusual in this port for this and subsequent unloading of ex- plosives. An explosion such as those in New Jersey and Texas ports in the past, would cause inestimable damage to the fa- cilities, and perhaps the resi- dents of this city.
 Some grumbling is heard on the score that We've handled explosives for many years and never had any trouble" In view of the careful security screening and regulations in force at this time, however, and the possi- bility of sabotage to vital mater ials, residents, for the most part, are expressing qualification over the presence of the BittersWeet and it's complement as guard and supervisor.
 Notice has been given that only those employed in the oper- ation of unloading the ship, or those with official business, will be allowed on the dock. No sightseers, and no curiosity seekers will be permitted to approach the ship until the ex- plosives have been discharged. Local longshoremen of unques- toned loyalty are being selected for the work.

NEGRO MARRIES white
WEALTHY DIVORCEE

April 18 that Bill and I began to
talk seriously. We both agreed it
would have to be marriage or
nothing.
"We fought it but it was
too strong for us. Last June 8,
my birthday, we became en-
gagged"
Asked whether she expects her
white friends to break off with
her, Mrs. Tibbs said, "Time will
tell. / believe the real ones will
be there but right now I cannot
say"
It was learned that her daugh-
ter, Eileen, "a, who lives with her
father, rushed home from a Eur
opean trip last summer in an eff
fort to discourage the marriage.
Her son, Harry, 26, is married and
in business with the elder Stahl,
who repeatedly made a $1,000, 900
settlement on his wife at the time
of their divorce.

The happiest man al,ve +. this
is what Louis Jordan says about
Ivory Joe Hunter, who with his
band will play at Soldier Center
333 E. Washington, Saturday
night Oct. 7th.
The reason I say that is be-
cause Ivory Joe is one of those
entertainers who comes out on
the stage or night-club floor and
just makes you want to stomp and
sing, Louis Jordan says. He's the
happiest man alive when he sits
down to the piano. And when he
sings, be it hot, lowdown or boo
gle, just feel like I'm with him
all the way.
The first time I ever saw Ivory
Joe, he was tickling set of keys
in a little club in Houston, Texas,
eight years ago. He didn't even
have outside billing, but we weren't
sitting at the table more than a
few minutes, when that piano got
hold of me. Then he started to
sing and from that moment on I
was all for Ivory Joe Hunter"
Just in case you didn't know,
Ivory Joe is big guy. He's six
foot three, good-looking and al
ways dressed like he had just
stepped out of a mans clothing
ad in Esquire.
How did he get the name Ivory
Joe? Well, his parents, Anna and
Dave Hunter, were musicians all
their lives. When their first boy
arrived they decided that he
wasn't ever going to forget his
mission in life to be great
piano player. He was christened
Ivory Joe.
I only heard little bit about
Ivory Joe during the next six
years. The war came along and
you just couldn't keep track OF
! anyone in show business.
Earlier this year, I stopped in
Oakland, California, for a few
days, I had a night off and wan
dered down a little street spotted
with small cafes and intimate
| little night clubs. Outside OF one
of the clubs, crowd of people
had gathered and they were all
jumpin' and rockin'. Pushing my
way up to the front, I got a look
see through the door. Yep, you
guessed it. It was the happiest man
alive, Ivory Joe Hunter, and he
was bigger and better than ever.

"In a real sense, the task per-
formed in Palestine was a CO.
operative achievement, carried out
by a highly competent team OF
more than 700 military observers
and international civil servants of
many nationalities.
"At this moment I cannot for
get that Count Bernadotte and ten
other members of our team gave
their lives in the effort to restore
peace to Palestine"
The first report of the award
came to DR.. Bunche as he was
seated in the delegates dining room
at Lake Success last Friday after
noon. His secretary, Mrs. Doreen
Daughton, walked in at 2:15 pm.
and told him that he had won
the award. DR.. Bunche did not be-
lieve it and took it as jest.
Later Wilder Foote, director of
the press section of the UN De-
partment of Public Information,
confirmed the report, but DR..
Bunche was not convinced until an
official cable from Oslo was hand
ed to him at Sis pm.
Meanwhile the word had begun
to spread throughout the sprawl
ing Sperry Gyroscope Company
plant which is the temporary head
quarters of the UN Secretariat. A
deluge of congratulatory mes
sages began to pour in from his
colleagues at Lake Success and
others throughout the world.
Mr.. Lie said the UN was proud
that a member of it's secretariat
had been chosen for the Noble
Peace Prize and declared that DR..
Bunche had fully merited the
honor.
Moshe Sharett, Foreign Minister
of Israel, praised DR.. Bunche for
his "herculean efforts to put an
end to the fighting in Palestine,
his inexhaustable patience, re-
source and ingenuity in the COM
plex armistice negotiations be-
tween Israel and her four neigh
bors."
The award is "a fitting tribute
to a great servant of the United
Nations and gives a renewed
strength to faith in it's causes, "
Mr.. Sharett said.
Among the messages was tel
ephone call from DR.. Bunche's
wife, Ruth, who was in Boston
helping to enroll their daughter,
Jane, in Radcliffe College. The
Bunches have another daughter,
Joan, who is sophomore at Vas
sar, and a son, Ralph Bunche, Jr.
who is Z.
