Merchants Charter Assn. of Ketchikan Protest Fines Levied By Coast Guard

WASHINGTON, R - A federal judge refused yesterday to en- join the Coast Guard from assess ing fines against the Ketchikan Merchants Charter Assn, in con- nection with the operation of cargo vessels between Seattle and Southeastern Alaska.
 The complaint said the Coast Guard already has fined the Association S1,5OO on the ground that several vessels chartered by its members were carrying freight for hire without a certificate on certain voyages. The complaint added the Coast Guard has threat ened to assess additional fines of $500 each for each of six sail ings monthly, in both directions or total of $6,OOO a month.
 The Association said it is com posed of 500 members in Seattle and Southeastern Alaska, and de- nied it is a carrier of freight for hire. The Association said it is cooperative non-profit organiza- tion which performs various ser vices for it's members in the role of managing agent of private vessels.
 Unless the Coast Guard is re- strained from assessing additional fines the Association said, it will be impossible to continue it's oper- alton and schedule future sail ings. No other service is avail able at many small ports in Alaska, the Associ- alton said.

Alaska Steam Celebrates
 6Oth Year In Alaska Trade

SEATTLE, R-With a bow to the past and an eye on the future, Alaska Steamship Co. tomorrow will celebrate the end of it's 6Oth year in the Alaska trade.
 Announcing the milestone this week, company spokesmen re- called:
 Organized in the rough and tumble nineties, Alaska Steam ship Co. served Alaska through the gold rush. It carried cargo to SkagWay before the White Pass and Yukon route was constructed, to Seward before the Alaska Rail- road came into being, and into Valdez when the Richardson Highway was a trail"
 Charles E. Peabody, Capt Geo. Roberts, c. H. and c. E. Taylor set the firm in 1895, and March 3, their first vessel, the 450-ton steamer WilIapa, sailed north from Puget Sound.
 The gold rush gave Alaska Steam it's early prosperity, but copper kept it going. From 1908 until the copper mines were ex- hausted in 1888, copper from Kennecot and Latouche provided the only substantial year round traffic from Alaska.
 In 1914, Seattle's Skinner and Eddy Corp. bought the line from Kennecott Copper Corp, and the local men set about after World War II to revive their war-wrack- ed industry (Of 42 ships taken over by the government at the wars start, only six were return ed at close of government opera ton in 1943D

CAMPBELL NEWS
By CLARENCE IRRIGoo

Exaggerated stories about food shortage on St. Lawrence Island made big headlines in several newspapers. The truth about it will be told right away
 It was on Feb. 3 when Alaska Airlines' DC-3 plane, piloted by Capt John A. Horning, taxied to a stop on the parking lot at Gam bell Municipal Airport. The door swung open and Grace Crosson, public health nurse who had been away on leave since before Christmas, stepped out. She was greeted by many.
 After the freight was unloaded, some unusual load remained in the plane, packed in gunny sacks.
 When the crew of the plane worked strenuously on the door, I asked what's the idea. One said:
 we are going to remove this door. We are going to drop food stuff at Savoonga on our way back"
 The plane took off with door removed and a half-inch rope strung several times across the doorway, possibly to keep the crew from falling off during op- seration.
 The above is the eyewitness report of the writer The follow ing comes from those who wit messed the drop. They said that everything was intact when ex- amined. Praise goes to the pilot who completed the mission with out any loss.
 Savoonga is about 40 miles east of Gambell and is peopled by all EskimoS. A traveller who hap pened to be in Savoonga when the food was dropped heard the store manager say he was sur prised to receive the food he had never ordered.
 Food is very low. Never had more than enough since last spring. The three or four walrus killed in January did not last very long. Some of it went to Savoon- ga, and most of it went to the dogs plagued by hydatid worms.
 We are not starving yet. How ever. food has become so low that we have alerted proper authori- ties in Juneau which, in turn, made possible the relief food to be flown by chartered planes.
 Feb. 24-First good day for a long time Rough shore ice broke up the day before. Several boats set out late this morning with dog to pull. New ice was inviting to the hunters.
 Two polar bears were seen earl fer this morning, but strong nov ing current prevented hunters from chasing them.
 When boats returned, several seals, two oogruks and polar bear were brought home. Vernon Slwooko's boat had shot the bear.
