Plane, Boat Join To Save Two

Donnie Fenner, IF, and the Rev. John Dech were saved from drifting out to sea Mon day night through the efforts of Vince Daly, pilot for Collins Air Service, and a Canadian halibut boat.
 Fenner and Dech, three hours overdue afner going out to the end of Long Island to check their halibut gear, were spotted drifting toward the open sea in their dead-engine dory by Daly who was search ing for them in his plane.
 Daly, accompanied by A. l.. Fenner, father of Donnie, found the drifting boat and circled it until the Canadian halibut boat Kent Falls of Vic- toria, skippered by Andrew Sunde, took the two drifters aboard and brought them to the Donnelley and Acheson dock.
 Daly and Fenner started searching for the overdue pair around 1O:3O pm. They were supposed to have return ed around 9.
 After checking the halibut gear the two fishermen could not get their outboard motor started and attempted to row to Long Island. The current was against them and they were steadily being swept to the open sea when they were picked up.
 On seeing the plane circling overhead, Sunde, who had just left Kodiak, turned off his course and searched the area which Daly's plane was circling.
 After bringing the Kodiak ians to town, the Kent Falls remained overnight and left Tuesday.

city's Census Is 1,635,
 Double 1940 Population

The official population of the City of Kodiak is 1,635 persons, James D. BrowHr thir d division census director. disclosed yesterday.
 William H. Lamme, who guessed the population as 1583 in his entry in Contest-Nose- Count, came closest to the official figure and wins the S25 U. s. Savings Bond put up by the Bank of Kodiak.
 A total of 45 guesses in the contest, jointly sponsored by the Bank and the Kodiak MIRROR, ranged from JG06 to 1902, but none was in the 16eG bracket.
 Lamme, who as editor of the Kodiak MIRROR used to run contests and let the winners wait until Saturday to find out their luck, will first know he is the winner of Contest-Nose- Count when he reads this. He must have had an idea, though, that he might, for the paper on which his entry IS printed says: Here is my winning entry" It was.
 The figure for the Kodiak Recording District, which will include the island, part of the mainland, and the navy base has not yet been released. BilE Poland, who is doing the count, has not yet completed the peninsula or the Mission Rd. area which lies outside the city limits.
 The population of Kodiak has almost doubled in the past ten years. In 1940 the popula- tion was 864, Brown said.
 He added that "this figure is believed to be subs tantiaily correct but is sub ct to re- vision after non-residents have been credited to their proper locality and other routine checks have been made. !" The official announcement of the census will be made at a later date by the Director. Bureau of the Census, III Washington, Brown added.

Habeas Corpus Writ Denied

A writ of habeas corpus, in the matter of the imprison- ment of Richard Washington Huff, was dismissed in U. s. Commissioners Court Tues day on the recommendation of assistant U. s. attorney, Ralph E. Moody.
 The writ, prepared by at- torney Talmage L. Smith, and a petition signed by Albert Norris, were allegedly served on U. s. deputy marsh al Clarence Dizney early Mon day morning, demanding the release of Huff, who had been taken to the marshaPs office for questioning.
 Meanwhile Huff had board ed a plane at NOE enroute to the states.
 Moody wired the commits sioner, in answer to a tele- gram sent him requesting in- structions, that the writ was invalid as Huff is now at. liber- ty.
 After the hearing Tuesday, Smith contended that Huff had not been permitted to see his wife or friends and was forced to board the plane. Smith also said, "The man (Huff) was not given a hear ing and the marshal did not recognize the writ. y
 Dizney said that Huff had been given an opportunity to talk to his friends and that he boarded the plane for the states voluntarily. He declined to tell the court what Huff was questioned about.
 Smith claimed that Huff was under surveillance by a naval officer during the time he was on the plane going outside.
 Norris told the court he would protest the decision of the commissioner in dismiss sing the writ, and asked how to go about it.
 Commissioner A. M. Voka- eek told him to place the mat ter before the next session of the grand jury or take it to the Third District Court.

 The letter was circulated Wednesday and Thursday and was signed by a few local bus inessmen and several Negroes.

 Huff, Negro citizen and prop
 erty owner, have incensed the community here as have no
 other event in recent years. <"
 Bearing among others, the !; signature of Talmage l.. Smith, attorney for Huff, the letter continued, Huff
 was arrested at his home. |.
 by Dizney on suspicion of pos session of narcotics. At 6 am
 June 11th, Huff was placed on 1 a Navy plane under guard of
 Marshal Dizney and his assist ants without having been charged for any crime nor sentenced by a Judge or court"
 The letter also charged that a writ of habeas corpus was
 ignored by the officer and that
 Huff was denied permission to
 talk to his wife or lawyer.
 We realize that is just such
 seedsof unfairness, /" the letter
 added, land prejudices, that,
 if allowed to grow in a com
 munity, will ripen into fu-
 ture disasters, race riots and
 unwholesome racial relation ships.
 ! In closing, the letter asked
