Further Action Is Promised
In NYC Waterfront Probe
RY EUcENE LEVIN

NEW 1Onh vi - n plOSCSuloA
talk of further criminal action in
the state waterfront probe echoed
along the city docks today follow
ing the arrest of the AFL long
shoremen'S boss in Lower Man.
haitian.
Dist. Atty. Frank S. Hogan using
New York State Crime Commits
sion testimony to help chart his
way through the maze of rackets
which cost the seven billion dol
lar shipping industry here an eS-
timated $50 millions annually.
Hogan sailed into the waterfront
racketS tempest yesterday with
his announcement of the arrest on
extortion charges Of Michael Glenn
ente, a 44-year-old ex-convict Off
cial of the AFL International Long
shoremen's Association and often
described as the '1ord" of Down
town Manhattan's docks.
Arrested with Clemente was one
of his union associates, Alexander
Cosmos, 43, of Rutherford, N. ].
The arrests were the second and
third related to the current in
quiry by the State Crime Commits
sion, and the fifth and sixth in the
past few months as a result of
action by a New York county
(Manhattan) Grand Jury.
Clemente'S arrest yesterday
stirred the most interest of all, for
it was the first move against a
man escribed as a power over a
large section of piers in the Port
of New York, the worlds greatest
harbOr.
Hogan said Clemente ran a "do-
main" covering miles of docks on
the East River, around the tip of
Manhattan, and a short distance
up the Hudson River. The prose-
cutor also said Clemente's friends
include ''the biggest and the littleSt
people in the underworld"
A grand jury indictment accused
Clemente and Cosmos of extorting
81, 500 from the John W. Nc Grath
Crop, a stevedoring firm, between
July 1 and Dec. Is, by threaten
ing trouble" if Nc Grath did not
employ a hiring boss of their
choosing. Both were charged with
extortion, coercion and conspiracy.
During the State Crime Com
missions public hearings on the
waterfront, Clemente was nemed
in testimony by an official of an
other stevedoring company as the
recipient of $11, 200 to help pay
the coosts of a Biltmore Hotel
wedding party for Clemente's
daughter in September, 1851. Tes-
timony showed repayment of the
money was neither asked nor
made.
The State Crime Commission re-
cessed its waterfront hearings last
Friday until next month.
Hogan, announcing the Clemente
and Cosmos arrests yesterday, said
the grand jury has been extended
to March, 1853, and that his of
flee is reviewing public and pri-
vate testimony before the Crime
Commission. The prosecutor said
a search also was being made for
as much additional information "as
we can get our hands on"
Clemente and Cosmos, who are
officials in liza Local 856, were
held in bail of $4,000 each for
arraignment today in General
Sessions. Conviction on the charges
could mean prison sentences of 712
to IS years.
Next week Cleanente is sched-
uled to face trial in Federal Court
on charge of making false and
fraudulent statements in an offer
to compromise on an income tax
suit.

sored during the 1851 Matanuska Valley Fair.
 The bridegroom was born in Moose Lake, Minnesota and came to the Valley with his parents in 1885 when, as original colonists, they settled in the Butte area. In 1947 he was chosen as the All representative and attended the All Congress in Chicago. Again in 1949 he attended the Congress when he accompanied his brother Kent who was winner that year. Educated in the Palmer schools, he graduated in 1949 and went on to the Walla Walla College for a short course. He entered the service in October, 1851 and has been stationed at Eilsen Air Force Base. The couple will make their home in Fairbanks after Septem- Der 8.
 An informal open-house will be held in honor of the couple Satur- day evening, September 6 at the home of MT. and Mrs. l. M. Sand vik. All friends and neighbors are invited to attend the gathering, scheduled for eight o'clock.

In an afternoon ceremony held in the Base Chapel at Eilsen Field, Fairbanks, Miss Patricia Josephine Kirsch, daughter of Eugene Kirsch of Palmer became the bride of PFC Lynn Sandvik, son of MT. and Mrs. I. M. Sand vik of Palmer, August 31.
 The couple were attended by Miss Mary Morin and Cpl. Archie Buchanan, both of Fairbanks. Base Chaplain, Major Myer per formed the double ring ceremony.
 The bride came to the Territory in l946 with her father and set tied in Fairbanks, moving to. Pal mer in 1850 when MT. Kirsch ac- cepted employment as instructor to on-farm trainees.
 Mrs. Sandvik attended the Pal. mer High School and was a can. didate in the queen contest spon-

 The Cheechako Club, the 12:30 Club, the Anchorage Homemakers Council, the new Gold Busters Club, the Butte Homemakers the Homesteaders, the Glacier View Club, the Nugget Club, and the Palmasilla Club all had excep- tionally fine exhibits.
 Many Fair visitors expressed the opinion that the Homemakers' and All Club booths were the biggest attractions of the Fair.

her division, more spacious quart CTS which permitted the best pos sible display of canning artistry.
 Flower Exhibit
 The flower exhibit in the Fair Administration building served as the reception center for the entire Fair. Over 1900 signed the guest book and it was estimated that six or seven times that hur- ried on past the book in their en- thusiaSm to see the lovely flow CTS beyond. People from every single state in the union and Hawaii signed the guest book; there were also signatures of people from at least dozen foreign countries. Helping Super intendent Maud Hosler during the three days of the Fair were Mrs. M. D. Snodgrass, Mrs. Marjorie Hoskins, Mrs. Barbara Caruthers, Mrs. Margaret Mccartney, Mrs, Loretta Talcott, Mrs. Gertrude Felzien, Mrs. Dorothy Getsgo, and Mrs. Edith Benson.
 Judges were Mrs. Earl Curtis, Mrs. Harold Simmons, and Mrs. Gerald Kempton-ail of Anchor age. U. S. Commissioner Rose Walsh of Anchorage hunted them up to have them report for duty. Superintendent Hosler said that the judges from Anchorage and even one of the judges for the recent Anchorage Flower Show were most lavish in their praise of the entries exhibited at this years Fair. Although there were not nearly as many entries as in previous years, the rain was blamed rather than the lack of exceptional blooms in the Val ley. Blue ribbons were very much in evidence. Outstanding were Mrs. Neil Miller's arrangement of Rhugosa roses, Mrs. l. M. Sand vik's sweet peas, Mrs. Loren Me Kechnie's stock, Mrs. Max Sher- rods snapdragons, Mrs. Don IT, wins perennial monkehood and Carpathian harebells, and the rock gardens by Gary and Kristie Farrel. Many Anchorage blooms were exhibited, including the first prize dahlia.. Perennials exhibited such as columbine, Iceland pop pies. shasta daisies, violas and lady-in-white were objects of much wide-eyed amazement on the part of Outside visitors who found it difficult to believe that such beautiful flowers could bloom year after year in Alaska.
 Several fine entries were dis qualified for prize consideration either because they were not re- cived in time or because the eX- hibitors did not read their Fair Premium Book carefully. Some exhibited five or seven blooms where six were specified or failed otherwise to observe the stipula- tions. All entries were judged ac- cording to the Handbook for Flower Shows put out by the Ma tional Council of State Garden Clubs.
 Art Exhibits
The frontiersman., 1952-09-04

ported a tremendous interest in children's art displayed by visit ors and exhibitors alike. So great was the unsolicited response from youthful Valley artists, that Rusty is determined to have special class for children's art next year. She says there's un- believable talent in the Valley, talent that must be encouraged.
 Outstanding exhibits of the art show were the water colors by Fred Machetanz, which were not entered in competition. These, the ceramics exhibit, and the many excellent entries in oil, water color, pastel, and black and white stirred up much interest in art this year; indications are that many more entries will be ex- hibited next year. Ruth Trues- dale and Mrs. Earl Graves were judges for this years entries.
 All Exh1blfS
 All Club exhibits were the backbone of the Fair this year Garden, poultry, livestock, cloth ing and culinary entries exhibited side by side with adult entries in the same categories lent added credit to the youthful exhibitors and said much for the develop ment of skills and pride of accom- plishment in the Valley. All clothing and baking exhibits were judged by Audrey Davies, home demonstration agent from Anchorage, and Mrs. Frances Hol- brook, who was formerly home demonstration agent.
 Mrs. Marylou Rideout, All club worker expressed .satisfac- ton with this years exhibits. Clothing entries, the first year items in particular, were unusual ly good this year. Vegetable en- tries were outstanding in quan- tity and quality. There were also many. All canning entries, all though Joyce Dinkel made the only individual canning display.
 Ingenuity displayed in all of the many All Club booths this year made it difficult to choose between them, but Mrs. Rideout thought the FairvieW Farmers safety exhibit was the most start ling and thought provoking.
 Homemakers' Booths
 Competition among the Home makers Clubs in their booth ex- hibits was particularly keen this year, with nearly all of them out for the $50 first prize. It went to the Riverbend Club for Our Homemakers' Calendar" where in individual tableaux depicted the main point of interest for all meetings of the year. Second prize went to the Sourdough Club, the oldest Homemaker Club in the Valley, for it's Progress of Valley Homemakers from 193O- 1852" Third Prize went to the

Unusually attractive awards for the scheduled Chicken Style Show failed to produce any en- tries for the Sunday show and only one pair was shown on Mon day.
 Handwork
 Handwork exhibits from the Valley made a wonderful display of individual skills, but again the prevalence of prize ribbons mostly blue-revealed an un- healthy state of competition.
 Superintendent Eloise Hudgins of the Handicraft department had many unusual items to display, put the variety didn't begin to exhaust the possibilities outlined in the premium book. Superin- .endent Karla Duff of the needle work department thought the ex- cellence and variety of the en- tries exhibited outweighed the poverty in numbers. She called particular attention to fine ex- amples of crocheting, embroidered table linens, and cut work. Mrs. Justine Parks handsome banquet cloth was outstanding in the lat ter category. In the dressmaking department, of which Mrs. Carl MieIke was superintendent, every entry got a prize ribbon and most of them were blues. The examples were excellent, but in many cases there was only one to class.
 Thrift department entries were also few, but there was a sur prising number of sewing and cooking entries exhibited by Val ley moppets ten-years of age and under. Mrs. John Mcdonald was superintendent for these classes,
 Judges for departments and classes in the handwork division were Mrs. Lydia Fohn-Hansen, in charge of Home Demonstration work for the University of Alaska Extension Service and a Valley visitor named Mrs. Charles Stick ney, who has had considerable experience in judging at fairs in Minnesota. These two women also judged the culinary exhibits, All Club exhibits and the Homemak- CTS Clubs club exhibits.
 Culinary Exhibits
 Mrs. Neil Miller, attendant for the culinary division exhibits, ob- served that the interest displayed in the baked goods was ample proof that the women of today are letting their men down. She said the men fairly drooled as they looked yearningly at the yummy goodies behind the wire screen. Although the entries were few. the exhibits drew crowds of men who seemed loath to go and leave it all behind. Mrs. Lila Newville was superintendent ot this division.
 Home Canning
 Mrs. Fannie Werner, superln- tendent of the home canning dlvl- sion expressed satisfaction both with the number of entries and the quality. She was particularly pleased with the new quarters for

OUTSTANDING EXHIBITS OF HOMEMAKERS AND 4-H CLUBS C0MPENSAT TIE FOR PAUCITY OF AGRIGUL LTURAL ENTRIES IN '52 FAIR
Exhibits

Exhibits
 An honest comment on the pre- mlum exhibits at the Matanuska Valley Fair for 1852 would have to take note of the general lack ot adult entries, but the excel Hence of those entries that were exhibited and the enthusiasm portrayed in exhibits of Home makers Clubs and All Clubs suc- ceeded in making the 1852 Pre- mium exhibits outstanding.
 Vegetables and Grasses
 In the vegetables and grasses division the empty space was con- spicuous and prevalence of prize ribbons was mute evidence of un- interesting competition. Superin- tendent George Crowther, al- though disappointed because there weren't many exhibits, blamed the lack of them on Fri days rainy weather. He said there were many favorable comments on Valley potatoes, which were exhibited in quantity, and on the outsize vegetables, although in many cases only one of kind was on display. Max Sherrod's entries, he said, were consistently outstanding. Dr. Curtis Dearborn and Roscoe Taylor, horticulturist and agronomist from the Alaska Experiment Station, were judges.
 Individual Farm Displays
 Considering the prize incentive ($1OO, $75, $50, $25) the three. in- dividual farm displays were dis appointing from a competition standpoint, but those exhibited measured up well with the best of previous years when competi- ton was more keen. The first prize was won by Earl and Mary Combs of Wasilla. Mrs. Combs also won the first prize last year for her individual farm display. The Combs exhibit of metlcul- ously prepared farm products and home crafts was set off this year by a unique sampler, mural in size, and it's farm scene design ex- ecuted entirely in petals of flow CTS, miniature vegetables, stems of grain, and bits of evergreen.
 Displays by MT. and Mrs. liar old Dinkel and MT. and Mrs. Robert Lincoln-also of the Was fila area-were outstanding as second and third prize winners. Wasilla pride in the Matanuska Valley Fair was further demon strated by Wasilla Grange farm display.
 Livestock Exhibits
 Paucity of livestock exhibits was probably the biggest disap- pointment of the entire Fair. Not a single COW was exhibited. Only eight calves were present to rep resent the heart of Alaska's grow ing dairy industry. Outside ot two horses and a pig procured for the greased pig contest, there were no other animal exhibits. .Superln- tendent Pat Hemmer was delect- ed.
 Poultry and Rabbits
 Veteran poultry exhibitor Alba Brooks, superintendent ot the poultry and rabbit division re, ported about the same number or exhibits as last year. Again how ever, lack of interest on the part of adult exhibitors was apparent; about 90 percent of the entries were by children, many ot them for All work. Brooks paid special tribute to Emil LaWalters as be- ing one of the very few adults to exhibit year after year for the past several years and to L. F. Fetrow of Chugiak, the other adult exhibitor who has shown entries for two years in a row.
