Pair Restued After Being Stranded in
 Stream All hiqhI

Two men stranded on sandbar after being lost all night at the junction of the Big Boulder and Klehini Rivers near Klukwan, were rescued yesterday after being spot ted from an Alaska Coastal Airlines plane.
 The pair were Charles Smith and Martin Kulju, cook shack employees of Lytle and Green, construction firm doing paving work on the Haines Cutoff.
 Smith and Kulju left their camp at 35 Mile at 2 pm. Saturday on a large inflated inner tube from a road machine, planning to float down river a few miles and then hitch-hike back the highway to camp Several days before this had been done by several other camp workers.
 The inner tube upset, however about half-mile downstream, stranding the pair on stump pro- truding from sandbar. After hol- lering at the top of their lungs sev- eral hours trying to get attention from the camp. they gave up and at tempted to reach shore by leaping from .sandbar to sandbar, going three miles upstream in the process.
 Unable to reach safety after wan dering all night. they went back to their original sandbar and sat down to await rescue.
 Sunday morning Al Lyon of the construction firm called the airline to charter a search plane.
 Carl Bloomquist, AGA pilot, was ordered to leave his regular Haines- Skagway-Juneau run and search for the men. He picked up Ira Powell. the company's Haines agent, and Red Kerns, Lytle and Green super intendent, and after thirty minutes of searching the river, ran onto the pair clinging to the stump.
 After Bloomquist landed the men at the Haines airport. Kerns and Al Lubke, Alaska Highway patrol man, went to the 35-mile post. and waded out to where they could throw a line to the stranded pair, and brought them to camp, unin- jured, but tired and hoarse from hollering, plus being scared.

Hail! THE QUEENS OF YESTERYEARS..

Let us draw back the curtain OF
the years and get glimpse OF the
recent past!
For in days not so far back, jubl-
liant voices were also raised, as we
raise the same sweet noise today,
for the glory of their favorite
queens from year to year.
Records show that the first Seat
tie Community queen was Neny
Encarnacion who reigned over the
Rial Day commemoration pro-
gram of Dec. 80, 1926.
There were years when commu-
nifty gala days were without queens.
Ten years later, Angelica Floresca
was elected queen over the cele-
bration of the first anniversary OF
the Philippine Commonwealth.
Phyllis Florendo was queen in
1898. and she was the first Filipino
queen to participate in the Fourth
of July parade.
In 1910 we had two queens: a
''Miss Philippines" and a Miss
America" Gloria Aurelio occupied
the first role and the second was
won by Barbara Cole, a pretty
Wenatchee girl.
When Philippine independence
was granted in 1916 the first In
dependence Day queen was Do
lores Mallori. In 1947 Anita Osias
Villar won the same honor, and
Dorothy Laigo copied the title in
1948.
Filipino forum. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1928-196?, 1950-07-01

There was no queen in 1949.
The distinction of getting the
highest number of votes so far goes
to Anita Osias Villar, who regis
tered 408,633 votes. This record
stands unbeaten to date. Second
place goes to Dolores Mallori who
won with $4,000 votes.
Nevertheless these beauties =
every inch a queen-upheld the
prestige of the Filipino Community
of Seattle in their respective time.

Siders Seek
$4,000 War Chest

CHICAGO (ANP)-A drive to
raise a $4,000 war chest to fight
illegal operation Of "jitney" cabs
along South Parkway was launch
ed here Thursday by the South
Parkway Residents committee.
First attack will be against the
city's plan to run the cabs and
buses in the outer lanes of the
parkway, instead of in the inner
or boulevard" portion.
gssir
The street is made up of two
three-lane strupe, two 30-foot
wide grassy parkways and a six
lane center strip. The latter is
currently being used by the cabs
and buses.
The committee points out that
the use of two three-lane outer
strips would create a hazard to
the lives of pedestrians and of
children who use the outer strips
to get to the play area on the
erased parkway.

Ask For Safety in
Solitary Death
Cell

CHICAGO (ANP)- Sidney
Johnson, 17-year-old prisoner in
county Jail, petitioned the warden
here last week for a transfer to
a solitary death cell because he
was afraid other prisoners would
attack him. Johnson is awaiting
execution for the murder of a
white policeman.
Johnson said he was being
blamed by fellow prisoners for
the discovery of a butcher knife
in his mattress earlier. This find
had led to a search of all cells
and uncovered indications of an
escape plot. Johnson claims the

While the whole fight world is
still talking about Joe Louis con-
templated return to the ring, this
ringsider is thinging about what
should be the best fight of the
year : Sandy Saddler VS.. Willie
Pep for the featherweight champ
ionship of the World.
The date is Spet. 6 in New
York with Pep to get As percent
ofthe gate and Saddler, Is per-
cent. Lou Norris and the Interna-
tional Boxing club expect a gate
of at least 100000 for this
scorcher of a bout.
During September the Saddler-
Pep battle will have as competi-
ton the Louis Ezzard Charles
heavyweight title bout and pro-
baby the Ray Robinscon-Jake LIE
Motta middleweight crown fight.
Both of these fights should be
good, but this corner still takes
the Saddler-Pep affair. Let us an
alyze.
Any fight with Joe Louis in it
is bound to be dramatic because
everyone expects his brown bomb
ers to explode in the jaw of the
opponent. This fight figures to be
one in which Louis will stalk
Charles, and the champ will dart
in and out, not getting in too
close.
If Joe is not too old to catch
up with him it probably will be a
kayo in the latter rounds with
Louis looking bad through most
of the fight.
Sadler will stalk Pep, too, and
Pep will dart in and out. But in
this case Sadler moves faster and
than Louis, and he will move. Pep
is slicker and more artistic than
Charles.
LaMotto and Robinson have
fought five times with LaMotta
winning only one. 1t is almost a
cinch that Jake, a declining fight
er, will lose this one to a fighter
who has run out of competition
in the welterweight division and
is likely to do the same in 160
pound warfare.
Saddler will stalk Pep, too, and
before, too, but in their case there
is not much difference between
the two. In the first bout Saddler
started Pep and the boxing world
with a great four-round kayo of
the great champ.
Not too long afterwards, how
ever, they fought a return bout.
Saddler again butchered Pep, but
this time the fight went the Ii
nit and Pep regained his crown.
Since then Pep has been more ell
usive with the pen than even he
was in the ring. Both men have

Mike Jacobs To Help Promote
Louis Fight
Mike Jacobs is reported to be
returning to the ring wars to help
the international Boxing club pro-
mote Joe Louis attempt to regain
his heavyweight championship.
This means that the glorious
past of the '3O's and '4O's will be
revived once more maybe for
one night and maybe for longer.
Mike Jacobs and Joe Louis will
be together again reviving that old
championship team that drove all
rival promoters under cover on
one hand and all heavyweight
fighters to early showers on the
other.
Uncle Mike :. He has been away
the ring wars officially for
two years now, but like Louis, he
had a loophole to allow for a
comeback. His loophole was a con-
tact with the IBC.
When he sold the goth Century
Sporting club and Madison Square
Garden to the IBC for about a
quarter of a million dollars he al
so maintained an interest in any
future fight that Joe Louis might
fight. In the words of Uncle Mike:
81 got a contract that runs a
long time. 1t runs forever"
The aged promoter appears to
be in good shape better than
he was in at the time of his SELL
out to the IBC. He estimates that
the Charles-Louis bout will draw
$4,000 or $5O0,O0O.
If Uncle Mike can work this
fight up into that much money
you will know he has made a sue
cessful comeback. With the war
and two other championship bouts
both better naturals than this one
Mike will have quite a job to &C
complish.

Football World
Series In
September
By Alvin E. White

By Alvin E. White
NEW YORK (ANP)- Before
the baseball world series in play
ed, football fans will be treated
to a game which takes on the as
poets of a football world series.
And don't think fans haven't be-
gun to wake up to the thrills that
game in Philadelphia next month
which pits the Cleveland Browns,
four time champions of the ALL
American Conference, against the
Philadelphia Eagles, twice champs
Of the National Football League.
Negroes are keenly interested
in this game because the Browns
feature the greatest fullback in
the game, Marion Motley, 240
pounds of bonecrushing bronze,
who works with the quarter back
ing wizard Otto Graham, to wreak
havoc on opposing teams.
The Browns also have that big
fellow, Bill Willis, in their cham
pionship lines every year since
they started, and Horace Gillom,
a Negro end, one Of the games
greatest toe artists.
To these stars, the Browns have
added half-back Jimmy Joe Robin
son, who made Pittsburghers re-
member the golden days of Jock
Sutherland's Panthers and a sleep
err fullback in Emerson Cole. Cole,
they say, will fill Motley's brogans
when he hangs up his cleats.
Cleveland is invading Philadel-
phia for this game : = bringing
the fight right into the MI
champs back yard. What will
Steve Van Buren, and his cohorts
do against the clever versatile
other prisoners might seek repri-
sails on him for the discovery.
However, the warden said the
request would be denied because
he did not have extra guard to
watch Johnson in a death cell. He
added he did not believe the prison
er was in danger.
Investigation of the escape plot
is still in progress. The warden
has ordered lie detector tests for
27 Jail officials, on the premise
that one or more of them might
have been involved in the plot.
