IVERSEN IN LINE FOR 25 CUPBOARD

With the commercial trollers looking green-eyed, Barney IVersen landed 8 47 pound 12 ounce king salmon at the Elephants Nose early Thursday morning on sport tackle to take the lead in Wran- gell's second annual king salmon derby. Fishing with partner Dick Stokes, Iversen found the right pot hole" and brought in a total of eight fish.
 Iversen's fish gives him a three and a half pound edge over former leader Art Nelson and an edge for the grand prize of a 25 h.p. John son outboard.
 Lots of Big Ones
 In comparison to last year when Freddie Angerman won the derby on a 45-pounder, many bigger fish are being landed.
 Dan Roberts, using his sports gear to troll commercially one ev- ening two weeks ago, landed a 52- pound king. He couldn't enter it in the derby as he had two poles in the water when he hooked it. Com mitteeman Art Nelson said, ''in the regulations. Anyway, Rob- erts couldn't enter it. If he had been able to enter it it would have topped all salmon derbys as even Ketchikan has only a 51-pounder in the lead Other derbys are well behind Wrangell and Ketchikan.
 Nelson caught his big one only after his seyen-year-old son, Doug las, landed a 41-pounder the night before. Douglas was barely as long as the fish and only a few pounds heavier
 Emil Churchill is high for the kids entered in the derby as Doug las didn't have a ticket. Emil weighed one in a 2S pounds 12, while his commercial-trolling dad, looked on.
 Leads Women
 Bride-to-be Jean Mccormack leads the women's division with a 31- pound six ounce king A special special prize will be given the high fisherwoman.

WRANGELL INSTITUTE NEWS
sss sss aa By J. Lester hinner

For a few weeks now there have been some deer around the school grounds at the Wrangell Institute. They are seen mostly in the morn ing or at night. They are usually in the back Of the dorm or by the Staff House.
 Last summer they used to eat the boys flowers and the boys would drive them away, but they used to stay on our lawn through the sum- mer.
 The children like to watch the deer when they come out of tha woods. The deer are the children's pets and everybody loves them. 1yen when We chase them out of the flower beds we like them the best of everything.

  the other three had found better pastures but last week they knew differently.
 The green skin of doe. freshly butchered, was found near the mouth Of the creek on the Govern ment Game Reserve.
 How heartless and brutal can human being get?

 On the following day the seventh grade Home Economies class pre- pared a similar banquet which was, in turn. served by eighth grade girls.
 The work done in Wrangell h. stitute by upper grade girls in the art of homemaking Is outstanding. It will compare fayorably with that done in the largest high schools of the Territory. Here, as elsewhere that outstanding results occur, the young people learn by doing mead full tasks really well.

Sheppard's Lawyers To Seek
New Trial After Tues. Verdict

waiting for a policeman to bring
Sam Sheppard into court.
1t was 20 minutes before the
accused man came into the court
room. He sat down between two of
his lawyers, William J. Corrigan
and Arthur Petersilge. He talked
to them for a brief instant, then
leaned back in his chair. His eyes
were closed. He was clenching his
hands so tightly that his knuckles
turned white.
Jury Returns
In another moment, the jury
filed into their seats. None of them
so much as peeked at him.
Then Judge Edward Blythin took
the bench. His first words were to
caution against any demonstra-
tions. Then he asked the jurors if
they had arrived at verdict. The
foreman said they had. A bailiff
collected five sheets of paper, each
containing a possible sentence -
First-degree murder, first-degree
murder with recommendation for
manslaughter and acquittal.
Blythin went through the slips
until he found the one that was
signed. 1t read:
"We, the members of the jury,
find the defendant not guilty of
first-degree murder"
A gasp. a rustic of sound, arose
from spectators in the jam-pscked
back benches. The Judge paused
momentarily, apparently inter-
rupted, and shot a sharp glance
to" arc he back of the room. Then,
j ae fin.shed the sentence - s.souli
guilty of second d-degree murder. .
Sheppard had opened his eyes. He
closed them again.
Maintains Innocence
The Judge ordered him to rise
and stand before the high bench.
And he asked if he had anything
to say before sentence was pro-
nounce. Sheppard said: 81 would
like to say here that / am not
guilty and l feel there has been
proof presented that has definite
ly proved l could not have per-
formed this crime"
Corrigan, defiant and aggressive
as always, said he would file no.

Friday. The judge set Dec. 80 for
the hearing on it.
Mrs. Richard Sheppard's face
was bathed in tears. Stephen and
Betty Sheppard quickly left the
courtroom. Richard said, "a great
injustice has been done"
Sam Shepard was manacled and
led back to his cell before any
one else could talk to him. Later,
bailiff said Sheppard himself
told his fellow prisoners about the
verdict. They found me guilty in
the second degree" Still later an
official said, Hes back to nor

board to inquire into the painting
job.
Dean said the committee made
thorough investigation in view
of the publicity given the Bahia
Honda controversy.
"Unquestionably there was a
basis in fact for most of the stuff
carried by the newspapers but
some things were exaggerated, :"
Dean told the board.
Minor Irregularities
''There were minor Irregular
ties. such as using 400 gallons of
cheaper paint than called for by
the specifications, using paint of a
different color and failing to pre-
heat the steel to be painted" Dean
said.
He added that the committee felt
that the integrity of the job was
not seriously impaired"
The committee spokesman said
the three engineers agreed that
Taper should be paid ST, ,26O for
work already done-about IS per
cent of the entire workout that
SS,857 should be deducted for the
unauthorized variations from spec
ificationS by the contractor.
Dean said he had discussed the
matter with Taper and he was
agreeable to proceeding under
conditions outlined.
Other members of the commit
tee were chief engineer Robert T.
Gupton and maintenance engineer
Robrt Bannerman.
Start Of Controversy
The controversy arose when
Winston Carlton, district engineer
at Fort Lauderdale, refused to ap-
prove vouchers submitted by Tap
per for work already done on the
ground that he had not followed
specifically, particularly with ref
erence to sand blasting.
Gupton, as chief engineer, over
ruled Carlton and approved the
vouchers. He said Taper was cor.
rect in sand blasting only the bare
areas of the steel.
Taper asked cancellation of the
contract and also cancellation OF
his prime II million dollar con,
tract to paint the Seven Mile
Bridge contract stands.

Brennan, along with other
government engineers, gave
the project a final inspec-
tion Tuesday.
Earlier, the sewer project had
been given final approval by the
Public Health Administration, the
other federal agency participating
In the two-year-old program.
Varied Phases
The PHA inspection covered the
disposal and treatment phase of the
project, while the HHFA was res

was well designed and the work.
manShip was of a high standard.
One indication of the quality of
the design and workmanship, said
Brennan, is that during the eve-
ming hours when there is only a
small amount of sewage entering
the system, only one small pump
In the main collection is in opera
ton. indicating that there is a very
slight amount of infiltration Of
ground water in the sewer system.
Little lnfiItrafion
Brennan added that what infiI-
tration there is, probably occurs
in the small portion of the old
WPA-built sewer line still connect
ed to the new sewer.
Brennan also expressed the Opin-
ion that the new sewer will take
care of the city'S needs for a long
time to come.
He pointed out that the seven
pumping stations are equipped with
pumps large enough to take care
! of future additions to the sewer
system as the city grows.
Pavement Program
While the sewerage phase of the
program has been completed, Bren-
nan pointed out that his agency
will continue to supervise the huge
pavement replacement project slat-
ed to get under way shortly.
The street program is being fl
nanced partially with money left
over from sewer constructor funds.
Federal engineers, who main
tanned a close check - about every
two weeks - on the job, also said
that every penny spent on the pro-
Ject had been accounted for.
The government agencies made
an outright grant to the city of
SS7l,914 for the project, and gave
second lien mortgage for an add
ltlonal 100000. The city then float
ed a 100000 revenue bond issue
as It's share of the financing.

Gets
us Books AS
Special

The Key West Woman's
Club library has received a
gift of IT'S books from the
State of Rhode Island and
the Providence Plantations
through the Rhode Island
State Library's book pool for
the Armed Forces.
Receipt of the gift was announc-
ed by Mrs. J. Edgar Willing at
the clubs Christmas meeting held
Tuesday.
Nearly half of the books are
brand new fiction and the remain
der are from the book pool.
Librarians Interest
The gift was the result Of the
interest of DR.. Grace M. Sherwood,
Rhode Island State Librarian, who
visited Mrs. Willing here last year.
She became interested in the To-
cal library and the fact that there
was no municipal library in the
city.
The present library, housed in
the Woman's Club at 319 Duval
Street, has long been a project of
the club and for many years de-
rived its entire support from that
group.
In recent years they have re-
ceived help from the city and from
the service clubs of Key West.
DR.. Sherwood was able to send
the books to the Key West library
becase of the number of service
personnel who use its facilities.

Probe Into
Divers Death
Ends Today
Investigation
Board To Evaluate
And Study Facts

The Navy board probing
the death of Paul M. Sweat,
28-year-old diver, to d a y
concluded it's hearings.
This Mornings witness
was 1t. CAD Austin, Navy
doctor who perfortned the
autopsy on Sweat.
Sweat died Dec. IA in the re-
compression chamber of the SUBJ
marine rescue vessel Penguin af-
ter a routine dive to 265 feet.
Further Action
Cdr. James M. Hingson, Com
mander Submarine Division 122
and who heads the board of inves-
tigation, said the board will study
the testimony of the 10 men in
terviewed and the statements of
"five or six" others who were a.
board the Penguin at the time.
1T make take four or five days
to tabulate and study all the facts, p"
Cdr. Hingson said. "Then we will
be ready with our opinion
Briefly, DR.. Austin's autopsy
findings were:
That Sweat died under pressure,
there were gas bubbles Throughout
the body but not predominately in
any part, there was congestion in
all the large organs as would be
expected in severe case of the
bends, there was no evidence OF
damage to the brain, a small area
in the right lung was ruptured
but DR.. Austin said he has found
this condition in other autopsies
where air was not present.
Report on Record
The autopsy report was placed
In the records of the investigation.
Cdr. Hingson said Sweat's death
was the second since diving with
helium oxygen mixture first
was used in 1895.
The first diving death with the
mixture was in Washington in 1945.
Cdr. HingSon said that both Eng
land and France were closely
watching the U. S. Navy's work
with helium and oxygen for deep
Sc diving.
The record depth with the mix
ture is SCI feet.
This board" Cdr. Hingson add
ed, has a great responsibility in
determining any contributing cause
of the DEATH"
The Penguin was anchored off
Pelican Shoals on a diver training
exercise when Sweat, a diver first
class, made his last dive.
He was conscious when hoisted
to the deck but collapsed about one
minute later.
