Survivors
 Stop Here

Kodiak was the scene Monday of the first landing of the survivors of the S. s. Washington Mail, fol. lowing the disaster which ended so happily in a dramatic sea res cue in. the Gulf of Alaska.
 SO men and women aboard were transferred from the rescue ship, the MSTS vessel General Freeman, which anchored beyond the har- bor. to two waiting Navy tugs, and brought to the Naval Station. After a brief interval, they boarded a waiting PIMA Constellation for the final leg of the journey home.
 Through the cooperation of Ma val Station officials, newsnaen and photographers from the mainland, the United States and Canada were able to gain first hand ac- counts of the sea disaster and the rescue that followed. Interviews aboard the Freeman, prior to ;the survivors landing at Ko diak, brought out many details of heroic acfs, performed while the ship was slowly sinking into the turbulent ssa, of tense moments and dis play of unbelievable calm by people facing possible death.
 As the world now knows, the s. S. Washington Mail broke in two at the after part of number 3 hatch flush with the bridge. The parting of the huge ship, at 1:15 Saturday afternoon, was, in the words of the survivors, described by some like a boiler bursting. :" others like mine exploding" and by others as like "a machine gun firing" John Rego, from the Hawaiian Islands, said it went boom, boom, boom. Most of them said 1t was three blasts that were heard, and when they rushed on deck from either lying down, eat ing or playing cards, their horri fled eyes saw the fore part of the ship drifting away. Smoke hamper ed their exit, and the possibility of fire gave them.their first fright. The fires were quickly extinquish ed.
 John Kokoszenski, civil engi- neer from Los Angeles, described the scene neatly and truthfully as we confirmed later, when he said there was utter confusion. but no panic" Part of this he at- tributed to the fact that a fire drill was held the afternoon be- fore. KokoSzenski and his wife June, were on world tour plan ned years in advance, and this was the first leg of trip that was to take them to many strange ports and foreign lands. The trip seemed doomed from the beginning with KokoszenSki's wife becoming i'll, resulting in an operation, close relative dying and then the disast- CT at sea. Even to the last the hand of fate seemed to be pointing at him, for as he was being lifted up from the lifeboat to the deck of the Freeman, the rope used broke and he dropped into the sea. As he came to the surface, he found himself between the big ship and the lifeboat as it was being tossed broadside against it's side, and he just managed once more to sink down into the cold water, and later hauled back into the boat.
 High tribute was given the cap tain of the ship, Dudley A. Dur

United Fund Drive eL-oor1s

95zW " v " &$ @1s& %eW &$ @ v ~ szs& A United Fund drive looms as a . possibility for Kodiak, The. ques- ! tion, among others, was discussed at the Chamber of Commerce meet ing held Thursday at the Island Fountain.
 A committee will be set up to make study of the question. In view of the many charity drives in Kodiak every year, it was thought advisable to complete them in one big drive. . A@+. Y
 The opening up of lands in the Kalsin Bay area for homesites, as proposed by the Land Office, came in for considerable discussion. It is land next to that of ranchersin the area, and the Chamber votedsaf previous meeting to register a protest with the Land Office, with the thought in mind of protecting the cattle industry. It was felt by many that there is other land adl jacent to Kodiak much more suit able for homesites, and many of them close to town.
 ! A Land Office official was quot ed as saying he would rather make a hundred and fifty people happy, rather than just one. The object of opening the land is for the pur- pose of providing recreational property for inhabitants of this area.
 The possibility of having Col lector of Customs in Kodiak was brought before the Chamber. Mer- Till Coon, president of the body, reported that two men are avail able for the job, on a part time basis. In previous correspondence with Customs officials, it had been pointed out that no funds were available in the Department, to have collector stationed here. The question will be further pur- sued with the suggestion of using local man for the job.
 Another question receiving consid- erable attention at the Chamber meeting was that of providing ac- commodations for tourists visiting Kodiak this summer. Because of the inadequacy of the local hotel, a committee has been set up to seek out accommodations in homes. on a paid basis. Dr. A. Holmes Johnson and Rev. John Molletti were appointed by Vice-president Clarence Dizney, who acted as chairman of the meeting in the absence of Merrill Coon. Letters will be sent out to residents of Kodiak seeking registration of rooms available.
 The possibility looms for some action being taken this summer on the municipal airport. This was brought out by Bob Hall, who has conferred with CAB and other of ficials. There are no definite com mitments as yet, however.
 City Manager Charlie Truitt re- viewed the critical water situation pointing out the City is conducting a losing battle in its attempt to keep the reservoir supplied. He al- so stated arrangements are being made with Naval Station authori- ties to secure equipment needed. He urged the shutting off of fau- cets, and using as little water as possible during this critical period. Dr. Johnson, medical health officer urged the boiling of water that is
