NLRB Finds Alaska SS Co, Violates Taft-Hartly Act

SEATTLE, (P) - The National Labor Relations Board Friday af- firmed a trial examiners report of unfair labor practice charges filed against the Alaska Steam ship Co. and the CIO American Radio Association.
 The examiner, A. Bruce Hunt, found that the company, abiding by a contract with the union, vio- lated the Taft Hartley law by denying Horace w. Underwood, a radio operator, employment May 5, 1850, on the steamship Alaska.
 The company, member of the Pacific Maritime Association, was governed by contract which gave preference on employment to union members.
 The NLRB directed the com pany and the union to make up any losses in wages incurred by Underwood.

King George VI Is Laid To Rest

WINDSOR, Eng, (P--Britain said farewell to George VI today in a great outpouring of sorrow full grandeur, and buried him here at Windsor with a hymn of tri- mphant faith.
 Elizabeth II, queen at 25, led the nations final homage to her father.
 The queen, tight-lipped but composed, sprinkled earth on her fathers coffin as it sank from sight beneath storied St. Georges chapel in Windsor Castle.
 The kings mother, Mary, stayed in London with the weight of her 84 years, and waved fare we'll from a window of Marl- borough House.
 But the widowed Queen mother Elizabeth was here with the Princess Margaret to hear the choir sing the hymn she and the new queen had chosen-a hymn of victory, often sung at Easter:
 "The strike is OCT, the battle done; Now is the victor's tri- umph won :"
 A slab of stone had been laid aside in the floor, and the oak coffin was lowered slowly to the side of the body of the kings brother, the first Duke of Kent, killed in wartime air crash.
 Representatives of n Ii s around the globe joined royalty, nobles and lords in the funeral at St. Georges chapel.
 There was the Duke of Windsor, who was king himself when he laid George V to rest here 16 years ago.
 There was Winston Churchill,
  the servant of four sovereigns; there were seven sovereigns from other countries, Secretary of State Acheson representing President Truman; the ambassador of the Soviet Union. There also, was Gen. Eisenhower, who led Britons as we'll as Americans against the Nazis while George VI stood un- flinching beside his people in this island Hitler coveted.
 And by the turn of time, the dignitaries invited to the funeral included the chancellor of a new Germany.

EVERYONE SHOULD COOPERATE

W####M#8
EVERYONE SHOULD COOPERATE
o MUCH Too long st. Croix has suffered, and more
seriously than it thinks, because there are those on both ends
who insist upon tanning the town to town flame. Just why
these people refuse to see and know that in unity there isl
strength is a wonder to us all. It will not require much think
ing to recall that funds for a project were returned because
W. bickered over where it should be located, or that we lost
because we failed to present a united front on a number Of
matters.
TIE WOMEN LEAGUE Of St. Croix, realizing that
Christmas is as good a time as any to begin a worthwhile pro-
iect, set up the Old Fashioned Christmas idea, with the hopeI
that it may be a start towards the type Of cooperation we sol
badly need. Ordinarily, it seemed a most commendable pro-
iect, and one with which practically everybody would agree
But unfortunately, there are an isolated few who, either bel
cause they want to be different, or because they insist onI
living in the past, think they want to oppose.
AS OF WRITING the idea is moving along nicely
Plans have been set and members Of the Committee from
both towns meet frequently il working out details.
THE PROGRAM, as planned, calls for al. troupes from
Christiansted to Join with Frederiksted Or. Friday, December
26 for a grand time in the town Of Fredeiksted and on Thurs
day, January l., the Frederiksted troupes with Join with Chris
tiansted for a similar celebration in the town Of ChriStianstedl
THE IDEA OF an oldfashioned Christmas is a good
one. Time was when there seemed to be much harmony, and
people lived more eobely and understandingly. Christmas
was a time Of warmth, cheer was everywhere, and there was
merriment OF course, life might not have been as advanced
but with the advancement has come a number Of other prob
lens and the need for closer relations between people.
AIN OLD FASHIONED Christmas, in spirit, as much as
in what goes on throughout the season, may well be the be
ginning Of finer, closer and easier relationships betweenI
people all over the island, and that may be worth much more

MAYOR AND 5 COUNCIL MEMBERS SWORN IN AS NEW CITY OFFICERS

Mayor Carl Meier and four members of Palmer first City Council were present at the Co., Op Club Room Monday evening to turn over the reins of Palmer's government to the newly elected officers.
 U. s. Commissioner Dorothy Saxton administered the oaths of office to the new mayor, A. V. Hagen, and to five members of the new City Council. One of the newly elected councilmen was not present to take the oath of office. Bob Bettine, councilman for a one-year term was still unconscious from an accident that took place two days after the day he was elected.
 City Attorney Harold Butcher took advantage of the occasion marking the end of the first Coun- cil's term of office and the be- ginning of the new Councils term to review the progress that had been made since the attempts to incorporate the city of Palmer were begun in January of 1851. He described the uphill fight fac ing the first Council in the first few months after the men had taken office. Faced with a critical emergency, the Councilmen had no money even to send a tele-

ELKS LEASE CLUB 49
 FOR THEIR NEW HOME AND CLUB QUARTERS

Members of the local Elks Lodge have leased the business establishment known as Club 49 complete with all it's equipment for their new temporary home and club quarters.
 Final arrangements for the one year lease were agreed upon last Thursday by the owners, Harold and Jan Koslosky and Matt Onkka, Exalted ruler of BPOE No. 1842, and the lodges board of trustees, acting for the mem bership.
 The move from the outgrown temporary quarters in the Fair administration building came just before the young lodge ob- served it's first birthday. Institu- ton of the local Elks Lodge took place October 2, 1851. Forty eight Elks members who transferred their membership to the new lodge and 72 new candidates who were initiated that day became charter members of the new or ganization. Since then the group has grown from 120 to I'll mem- bers.
 Members of BPOE No. 1842 have plans to build their own home and club quarters which they hope will be near completion a year from now. The architects plans, being drawn up by James Scott, are just about completed.
 Meanwhile the Elks have plan ned a calendar of activities that will make them thoroughly at home in their new temporary

Local Gambling Raid Brings Convictions And S52O in Fines

4 Friendly little game" in the back of the T and T Sourdough Bar last Friday night turned out to be an expensive pastime for four local participants and the operator of the establishment.
 It was about 12:30 am. early Saturday morning when Deputy U. s. Marshal Ivan Blood raided the place and found the men play ing a game of stud" poker with poker chips.
 When the local men were ar raigned early that morning in U. s. Commissioners Court here, three were charged with gambl- ing, one with conducting gambl- ing game, and one with operating an establishment where gaming and gambling was carried on. John Van Ryn pleaded guilty to the first charge, and John F. Will Hams and D'Wayne Forester pleaded not guilty on the same charge. Ralph Horton, charged with conducting a gambling game, and Arthur Thompson, operator of the Sourdough Bar, claimed their rights to obtain an attorney.
 Testimony was heard from the complaining witness on the three gambling charges, but the yer diets were postponed until We'd nesday afternoon, October 15, when Thompson and Horton were asked to return with their lawyers to answer charges.
 Yesterday, the five local men returned to the court, and Deputy Marshals Blood and Willis were again present to give testimony. Thompson and Horton at this time waived rights to an attorney, but pleaded not guilty on being advised that a guilty plea would deprive them of right to appeal.
 According to Deputy Marshal Blood's testimony, Willis and a member of the 39th Air Depot Police had been told last Friday night to find a game going on and sit in on it. A little later Willis informed Blood that they were sitting in on a game at the Sour dough Bar. Fifteen minutes later Deputy Marshal Blood entered the establishment and arrested the participants. Willis testified

Contract Awarded
 For Construction of SiX-CIossroom School

Stock and Grove Construction Company of Anchorage was awarded the contract for con- tructon of the six-room elemen- tary school in North Palmer last Saturday by the Palmer Indepen- dent School District Board.
 The Stock and Grove low bid at the bid opening early last month was for S216,795 for the six-room building. Awarding of the con- tract was delayed for the maxi mum period allowed to give the School Board an opportunity to try to raise another $24,000 above the federal funds under Public Law 815 available for construc- ton. Under this law, $197000 was allocated to the Palmer school project last spring.
 An alternate in the contractors s oid provided for construction of l four-classroom building at a price $24,000 less than the base bid of $$216,795. However, it was felt that the school district never again would be able to build two :lassrooms for $12,000 each. Price Ter classroom under the base bid figures out to $36,133; under the four-classroom bid, to $48,111.
 During the interim between the bid opening and the contract award the School Board made a request for additional funds un- der PL SIS to permit construction

BOB BETTINE STILL UNCONSCIOUS AND ON CRITICAL LIST

Robert Bettine, who was in- jured last Thursday in a 60-foot fall down Goat Mountain after he had been charged by moose, was removed from Valley Hos pita last evening and taken to the Air Force Hospital at Elmen- dorf Air Force Base for further treatment. Although there has been some improveemnt, he is still unconscious and his condition remains critical, according to Dr. C. C. Bailey's statement this morning.
 Many versions regarding the accident have been current in the Valley during the past week. From the Eklutna Project head quarters comes the following story drawn from accounts of two witnesses, Al Suess and Dean Jennings:
 A moose was tangled up in some electric wires high up on the face of Goat Mountain over looking the highway. Bettine of- fered to climb up and cut the moose loose with some pliers. To get to the spot, he had to climb a rope 60 feet above the access road that leads to the Eklutna tunnel entrance. Watching from the access road, the witnesses ob- served that the moose charged at Bettine just after he had cut the last wire imprisoning the ami nal. They couldn't tell whether the moose knocked Bettine down or whether he threw himself to the ground to get out of the ami mals way. The moose appeared to try to brace himself before loosen ed rock and earth sent him plung- ing over the cliff Bettine was seen plumeting over the cliff immedi- ately afterward. The hillside ter rain was very rough and bumpy. Bettine landed once on his stom- ach, but momentum from the steep fall kept him going until he landed on the access road from which he had started his climb This time Bettine landed on his head. The Eklutna Project work CTS, coming to Bettine's assistance, also found the moose knocked out but not dead. Having no other weapon at hand they started to give the coup de grace to the in- Jured animal with a hatchet. The moose reused and started thrash ing around. In the scuffle he again fell, this time off the nar- row ledge of the access road for a sheer 300-foot drop. From the
