Stuart Ran1stad. Pilot. Survives
 Five Zero Days

efOP NTF ID - Pv d0inn everything right, a young Anchor age pilot managed te survive five days in zero weather in the Lake Clark area after jumping from his busnino plane.
 Stuart G. Ramstad, g, was found Wednesday by search plane after walking 15 miles from an abandoned .trapper's cabin.
 An experienced pilot who has participated in dozens of Civil Air Patrol search missions. Rarqstad was transporting gas in the Two Iakes-Telequana area, some 40 miles west of Anchorage last Fri day when his ski-equipped single engine plane burst into flames
 Bringing the plane 10 the ground from an altitude of $500 feet. Ram stad started throwing out the pas cans while the craft was still moving
 ssThen one (gas cam blew uo and I just bailed out the door, re- called Ramstad, who had also man aged to throw his fire damaged but still usable shotgun from the plane. The plane was still moving and slsidded another 300 feet before it exploded.
 The wings fell off. It just laid down and died,' Ramstad said showing a sense of humor in re- lating his story That's okay was standing there to watch
 Ramstad knew his location Little Mulchatna Lake where he plans to build cabin. He walked to an abandoned trapper's cabin which had only two walls standing He tore the walls down with hi. bare hands to keep the fire goin9 for almost six days
 Although the pilot had beer singed by the fire, his injuries dit not bother him. He had bee, dressed for the weather with downfilled jacket and white car vas mukluks for which he had make soles from a gas can. Tn original mukluks were burne while he was escaping from tn plane
 , For food, Ramstad ate carlbo, moss which he claims is "prett, good stuff," although not too nour ishing. He claims, too, that it take ''healthy looking pile" to satisf, the appetite
 Although Ramstad saw foul caribou, they were not in range O his shotgun. He also saw a duck but missed it despite three shots
 Wood for one night remained when Ramstad early Wednesday decided to walk to the Lake Clark cabin of pilot Babe Alsworth
 Six days and nobody comes around. You kind of wonder he said in explaining his decision to move on.
 Ramstad knew that Tex Dolfelt, a trapper at Two Lakes knew ex- actly where he was going last Fri day when he took off with his first load of gas for Little Null chatna Lake. And Dolfelt remem- bered for he was flying with Jack Culhane Wednesday when they spotted Ramstad shortly before noon, only few hours after the CAP search had gotten under way. A total of IA planes were looking for Ramstad at the time.
 Returned to Anchorage looking like chimney sweep" with his soot covered clothing, Ramstad surprised many by his condition His return was celebrated Wednes- day night with a belated Christ. mas celebration with his wife ano year-old son.

 The tension in the states ex- ecutlve offices in Juneau the night of last April IA was almost un- bearable
 Gov. Wm. Egan sat at his desk, eyeing the silent telephone and worrying the nub end of an in- expensive pen, as he is prone to do.
 Other top state officials in the room did their best to act calm, although stiffly = and, it seems m retrospect, almost apprehen- slvely - aware of the significance of the events about to occur.
 Shortlv. before midnight. Egan's vigil ended when the phone rang, "a shrill elattering in q still room.
 After hanging up, Egan an- nounced calmly that state agents had boarded Japanese catcher boat, the Ohtori Maru Mo- 5, off Uganik Bay, in Shelikof Strait, and had taken possession of the boat
 Before the weekend. was over. state agents boarded and seized another Jap catcher boat and boarded the 172-ton herring fleet mothership Banshu Maru and ar rested it's captain
 It was story which dominated front pages and newseasts in Alas ka for days and which received prominent display throughout the United States and Japan.
 Because of it's impact and con- tinuing interest, the story was voted Thursday by the neWsmen of Alaska as the top state story of the year.
 The story is not yet complete. Various charges against the cap tains of the two catcher boats, which were subsequently released, and the skipper of the Banshu Maru are still pending in Third District Superior Court
 The three Japanese are charged, variously, with fishing for herring in state waters without a state gear license, with violation of Alas ka's territorial waters and with fishing commercially without hav- ing obtained a state license. Two Other Fish Stories
 Two other stories involving foreign fishermen received high priority among state newsmen for the Alaska Story of the Year.
 A Russian trawler invasion of American king crab fishing waters off Kodiak Island, with result ant heavy loss of American gear, was designated the No. 4 story of the year.
 And the International North Pacific Fisheries Commissions rec ommendation that Japanese fisher men be permitted to enter the rich eastern Boring Sea halibut grounds was rated No. 8.
 Capital Relocation Was No. 2
 The No. 2 story was the long, bitter capital relocation fight, which eliminated Nov. in voter re- lection of an initiative to move the capital from Juneau to Vest ern Alaska.

SUPREME COURT RULES AIRPORTS ARE LIABLE TO SUIT FOR NOISE

WASHINGTON R - The Su-
 preme Court has ruled a property
 owner near an airport is entitled to compensation if the noise ard vibration from low-flying planes
 make his home unlivable. The nine justices were unani-
 nous in this view which may open the way for millions of dollars in suits involving many airports throughout the nation.
 They split 7-2, however, on the question of who should pay the compensation.
 The majority, in an opinion de- livered by Justice Douglas, held the compensation was due from the operators of the airport. Justice Black, in dissent ioin- ed by Justice Frankfurter, con- tended the federal government should pay. He argued an airport is part of national transporta- ton system of advantage to the whole nation in time of peace and war.
 The case before the high court was claim of Thomas Briggs for compensation from Allegheny County Pa.), owner and operator
 of the Greater Pittsburgh Airport. Griggs said planes zoomed over his house as low as 1I.36 feet above the roof, shook plaster from ceilings and walls, and made con- versation in the house impossible. He said occupants were unable to sleep "even with ear plugs and
 sleeping pills" and in fear for their lives, finally moved away. A board of review, set up un- der Pennsylvania law, awarded
 Griggs SIP 2,690 against the county.
 That was set aside, however, by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. It ruled there had not been an unconstitutional taking by the county of the airspace above the Griggs property. It suggested
 Griggs press trespass suits against
 owners or operators of aircraft.
 Griggs appealed to the US. Su-
 preme Court, asking that the
 county be held liable for compen- sation.
