Three years ago, when the now famed Kodiak, Alaska, King Crab Festival got its start, a featured stunt was to have been a skin div ing contest-with divers descend ing to the bottom of the boat har- Dor and coming up with live, kick ing (and screaming!) crabs.
 But horrible catch developed. Just before the May doings got un- der way, the festival committee dis covered that fresh water entering the newly-enclosed harbor had driven the crabs to saltier digs.
 What to do? The answer was ob- vious. Indulge in a little chicanery (only tell the public about it, of course) and hope for the best. So the announce cement was made. Since the screaming crabs and they really do scream-had left the har- bor, choice crabs would be placed in a pot on the harbor floor and skin divers would race to see who could bring the crabs up the quickest.
 When the day came, the specta- tors gathered, eager to see what three-foot spread of failing crab legs and claws would do to rub Der diving suit. The timer poised. The divers lined up on the dock. And the crabs sat patiently wait ing on the bottom.
 The judge gave the signal and the first diver dove in. In three minutes he returned, bearing in his outstretched arm, to keep click ing claws away from his vulnerable suit, huge wiggling screaming (You've never heard one?) King Crab
 Someone in the crowd yelled, "How much for the crab?" and on the spur of the moment the diver replied, Two dolars!" The crab was sold and from that moment on everyone got so interested in watching the free-for-all dives and in purchasing the lanky beasts that the timers forgot to time, and jud- ges forgot to judge, but the crabs were all brought up and sold, still screaming.
 That's been the shape of the an nual diving event ever since. And the vacationer who'd like a large, choice crab, fresh out of the drink for $2O0, or who'd like some won- derful truly different action film shots of divers wrestling the huge beasts to the surface, will find the Kodiak King Crab Festival tops for travel in '61 (This is for out-of- town readerS).
 The celebration this year will be May 5-7, with the skin diving event only one of many features which in clude crab shaking contest, a crab

Cecil Poole for Posts

President Kennedy an
nounced yesterday that he in
tends to appoint Philip Wilson
Bonsal, now American repre-
sentative on the Council of Or
ganization Of American States,
as Ambassador to Morocco.
Mr.. BonSal, 81, will succeed
Charles w. YoSt, who has been
named deputy United States
representative to the Security
Council of the United Nations.
The President also said he
intends to name Cecil F. Poole
Of Sacramento as United States
attorney for the Northern Dis
trict Of California.
Mr.. Poole told reporters he
has been informed that, If con-
firmed, he will be the first
Negro ever to become a United
States attorney except in the
Virgin ISlandS-"unleSS there
was such an appointment in
the Reconstruction period fol-
lowing the Civil War"
His judicial district is one of
the largest, in area and popu-
lation, in the United States.
There are now 81 assistant dis
trict attorneys in his office,
none Of them Negroes.
Questioned by newsmen on
the progress of the Kennedy
administration in bringing
Negroes into responsible fed
eral positions, Poole said he be-
neved this was a judgment
others should make, but added:
81 think the conclusion is
inescapable that. in less than
four months, President Ken
nedy has taken longer, more
giant strides in that direction
that any administration in his
tory"

An army enlisted man COL

Fake documents, forged sig
