Legislators Wire Wash. DC Urging Alaska Statehood

JUNEAU, R Six Republican and three Democratic representa- tives joined in weekend wires to Washington in support of immed- fate Alaska statehood.
 They sent three wires after the Territorial House Saturday tabled a proposal that the House should send the telegrams.
 The wires went to Rep. Saylor R-Pa in support of his statehood bill, and to Interior Secretary Me Kay and Alaska gubernatorial nominee B. Frank Heintzleman asking support of Saylor's bill.
 The wires were signed by Re publicans Howard w. Pollock, Leo Mckinley, Herald Stringer, Lloyd C. Olsen and Carl Rentschler of Anchorage; and Frank G. John son, Rake; also by Democrats Ted Duffield of Nome; Richard Greuel of Fairbanks and Wendell Kay of Anchorage.
 Meanhwile, Mckay said in Washington that it is his "guess" the present Congress will give statehood to Hawaii but ''I think Alaska will have to wait it's turn" :"

Anti-American MObs Stone US. Cars and Homes In Tehran

TERRAIN, Iran, R-Mobs shout ing anti-American slogans, stoned US. cars and homes Monday as riots continued in Trans capital. Premier Mohammed Mossadegh's s supporters appeared to be gaining the upper hand in the demonstra- tions which have alternately as- sailed and defended the aged Ma tionalist leader.
 Crowds hurled rocks at Ameri- can homes on Roosevelt Avenue, at the US. embassy's administra- tive counselor Laurence C. Frank, and at cars driven by embassy attache Warren Silver and by a secretary, Betty White. None of them was hurt.
 Mossadegh, meanwhile, moved to re-establish his hold on the governments reins after the mob attack on his home e Saturday which sent him dashing in pa jamas for the traditional sanct- uary of the Parliament buildings.
 The government arrested 70 army officerS-65 retired and five on the active list and accused them of melting the demonstrators against the government.
 Replacing the weekend cry of death or the Shah," the mass outpouring of pro- Mossadegh demonstrators around the parlia- ment building today screamed death or Mossadegh"-the same battlecry which has helped avert previous threats to the premier's hold on the government reins.

Barge Service Between Alaska And St. Louis To Start April 15

ST. LOUIS, RARegular 30-day towboat-barge shipments between St. Louis and ports in Alaska and Western Canada are scheduled to begin April IS.
 Frank J. McDevitt, president of the St. Louis Board of Public Ser vice, said Alaska Freight Lines, Inc, will use the municipal docks for initial shipments expected to total only 1000 to 2,00O tons monthly.
 McDevitt urged quick action on two proposed bond issues for con- struction of new docks and inn provement of existing facilities on the Mississippi River here.
 It was announced previously a Dutch shipping firm plans to start regular service between St. Louis and Caribbean ports within about two months.
 An official of Alaska Freight Lines said barge shipments will be at regular 30-day intervals at first but will be stepped up to twice month as soon as possible.

Three Mining Men
 Report Fabulously Rich Copper Deposit In B.C.

PRINCE RUPERT, B. C., R - Three mining m en returning from a helicopter expedition into the mountains of northern British Columbia say they and a rival group have staked claims on a fabulously rich copper deposit.
 The trio reported Saturday they have staked 72 claims on an ice covered, 7,OOO-foot peak known as Leduc Glacier for FrobiSher, Ltd, a large Canadian concern with headquarters at Montreal, and ian amalgamation of other large eastern mining interests"
 And they told of what they described as a claim stalking race with Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelling and Power Co.,, Ltd,
 The mining men, enroute to Victoria for talks with the pro- vincial government after spending 10 days on the wind-swept ice, are Bill Richardson, Wendell Daw- son and Howard Fowler, a former Alaska government mining engi- neer.
 The reported copper strike is in the rlIgoed Alaska -RC h0rder- land territory. Its location was given as about 25 miles north west of Premier, B.C., the near est settlement, and 800 miles northeast of Ketchikan.
 First word of the reported find came more than a week ago, when an Alaska newspaper quoted a pilot as saying he was shown a "solid mountain" of copper.

Attorney Gen. Believes States Have Mineral Rights to Submerged Land

WASHINGTON, R-Atty. Gen. BroWnell told the Senate Monday he believes the states should get the mineral resources in sub- merged coastal areas but that he would not give them quitclaim title to the territory.
 The tidelands issue figured pro- minently in last years presiden- tial campaign. President Eisen- hover supported the claim by some states that title to the land should be vested in the states. Adlai Stew enson, his Democratic opponent, held that the U. $. government owns paramount rights in the region.
 Brownell said his view was aimed as minimizing if not elim- mating altogether the constitu- tional point raised by the wit nesses before this committee"
 q do not thereby intend to cast any doubt upon the consti- tutionality of the so-called quit claim statute"
 By quitclaim, Brownell meant action by Congress which would have the effect of the federal government abandoning-or quit ting TT claim to title to the sub merged regions.
 Former President Truman twice vetoed such legislation.

Japanese House Threatens Overthrow Premier For Stupid Idiot" Remark

TOKYO, R - T h Japanese House today threatened to over throw Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida's staunchly pro-American government because the aging but peppery statesman called a pol itical rival a stupid idiot"
 The House, in a move unprece- dented in Japanese politics, sent to a censure committee a motion to reprimand the "A year old prime minister.
 If the committee recommends severe censure m and Yoshida loses the ensuing vote in the House-he almost certainly would be forced to resign.
 Yoshida dismissed Agriculture Minister Kozen Hirokawa Mon day night on grounds he had been uncooperative. Hirokawa is a leader of one of the factions threatening to split the Liberal party. He led a group of 30 dis sident Liberals who boycotted Monday mornings vote on cen sure and thus assured it's being sent to committee.

President Lines To Talk Wages with Striking Union

SAN FRANCISCO, R-Ameri- can President Lines will talk wages with the AFL Masters, Mates and Pilots Union today or tomorrow, a company spokesman announced today.
 Scheduling of negotiations fol lowed a partial withdrawal by the APL and Pacific Far East Lines from the Pacific Maritime Asso- ciation. The union, asking a 9.5 per cent wage increase, is threat ening a strike against all PIMA member ships in West Coast ports.
 Union officials, asserting the wage demand would bring pay levels up to those of East Coast and Gulf Port deck officers, had warned the maritime group that it's members would not man mer- chant vessels unless given the in- creasel.

Rep. Dimock To Protest Jap Fishing g Off Alaska Waters

JUNEAU, R-An Alaskan leg islator prepared an appeal to US. government heads today concern ing a reported Japanese trend to send large scale fishing expedi- tions into Boring Sea waters off Alaska's west coast.
 Rep. Barbara Dimock, R-An- chorage) said she was basing the appeal on a report, through of ficial channels, that the Japanese are sending a cannery ship and dozen catcher boats with enough nets and gear to stretch out 4,000 miles.
 She described the reported Japa- nese plans as ''new and ominous threat to American interests which pursue giant king crabs along the American side of the Boring Sea.
 Rep. Dimock said she was bas- ing the appeal on reports of ad- vices from the US. embassy in Tokyo to Washington on the size of the Japanese operation.
 She said the embassy report carried these figures:
 The expedition hopes to get over a million crabs between late April and September which would make 5O,000 cases; the 5,000-ton mother ship, Tekei Maru, would have two cannery lines aboard and total crew member of all ves- sels would exceed 400.
 A fishing treaty with Japan for bids fishing for salmon, halibut, or herring near the Alaska main- land but crabs and other shellfish and bottom fish are not included.
 The Dimock memorial asks the government to take immediate and positive action to investigate and prevent threatened ravish- ment and destruction" of fisheries of the West Coast of Alaska.
 It urges immediate steps to re- wise terms of the existing treaty or that new agreement be en- tered to protect American fishing resources" which are described as vital to Alaska's economy.
 The protest is reminiscent of bitter pre- war protests against Japanese fishing operations out side the Western Alaska three mile limit.

None's Dream Theater
 Destroyed By Fire

The Dream Theater was com pletely destroyed by fire Saturday afternoon, but all the adjoining buildings were saved due to the fine cooperation of local and mili- tary fire fighting groups, the fact that the theater was com- pletely sheathed in sheet iron and the abundance of water that was available.
 Manager Gordon Osborne states that he was in the apartment in the south end of the theater build ing doing his laundry when he heard someone shout ''Fire!"
 He rushed to the basement of the building, where the heating plant was located and finding everything in order there rushed upstairs to the second floor. Upon reaching the unused third floor room he found the fire, he states, well under way, already into the attic the full length of the theater.
 Although the Fire Department arrived immediately the firemen were unable to fight the fire from the front of the building due to smoke.
 The law office of Jim von der Heydt which was on Skids to the east of the theater was quickly pulled away, leaving room to fight the fire and protect the North Star Grill.
 The Breakers Bar was evacu- ated quickly, but due to the gall vanized iron wall of the theater and the skillful fire fighting the building was saved.
 The big diesel pump of the Fire Department was put to use, the department states, and six powerful streams of water cov- cred the fire on all sides of the building as well as four more hoses from Nome Field which pumped water from the water tank trucks.
 The Dream Theater was built in 1884 after being destroyed by fire and replaced one of the old est theaters in the territory. The owner, Charles Code, is one of two brothers who brought the theater to Nome in the gold rush days and put on shows on the leg itimate stage until movies were introduced.
 MT. Code is retired and now lives in Seattle with his wife.
 Gordon Osborne lost all but a few of his personal effects.
 Osborne states that only weeks supply of film is kept in the theater and strangely enough that was still in the proJection room in its cases and not burned.
 w. w. Laws, fire chief, missed the fire Saturday as he was in the hospital recovering from the "flu."
The Nome nugget., 1953-03-02

Word was received this morn ing from the Dream Theater owner. MT. Charles Code. in- 1icating that he was interested in rebuilding the theater.
