RUSSA REPORTED
EYEING ALASKA
Russia wants to regain its one
time possession, Alaska. That, ac
cording to Matt Kuzmanich, is
one of the reasons voiced in Yu
goslavia for the pact between the
Soviet and Hitler.
Kumamch, a United States cit
izen for 20 years, is a native of
Yugoslavia, one of the Balkan na
tions and recently returned from
Europe after war was declared.
In Yugoslavia, he said, the people
believe the Russo-German pact
was signed with the ultimate end'
that the Soviet and the Nazis will
conquer the world and out of this
Russa expects to get Alaska,
which lies near Siberia.
News was released in Yugoslav
ia that war had been declared
and Kumanich, his wife and son
lost no time in leaving the coun
try. Four days later they were
on the Italian Rex bound for
home. Although he was in Italy
only a ,few days it was long
enough for him to see that the
Italian people do not like Hitler
and want to stay out of the war,
Kumanich said.
FRANK SCULLY,
SALESMAN, DIES

WHALE OF A STORY ANYWAY
BALTIMORE, March 18 Skep
tics snorted it was a whale of a
story. But crew members and
waterfront workers swore up and
down the Baltimore docks that a
whale came into port, impaled
on the bow of the tanker New
Orleans.
They claimed the mammal was
a whopper. According to various
eye-witness accounts the whale
measured from 40 to 70 feet long
and weighed 3,000 pounds.
Members of the New Orleans
crew said the tanker struck the
whale whiL steaming up the
coast of Florida. The vessel re
versed but failed to di. ’ Ige the
I
cumbersome body of the whale,
so the tanker sailed to Baltimore
with the whale still speared on
the bow.
As the tanker was warped to
its Baltimore deck, the animal
was knocked off and sank to the
harboi b .ttom. Howe; r. marine
experts assured the skeptics that
the odiferous whale will rise to
the surface within a couple of
days.
Beginning with March, toe
Northland Transportation com
pany will start a direct line from
Seattle to Kodiak, via Sitka, ac
cording to word received at Ko
diak. First boat will be a 2oi)0
ton steamer and the scheduled
run will take five days, including
stops, so says the story. There is
further understanding that as the
summer advance, another boat
will be added. While there is just
one boat on the run it will make
a trip to Kodiak every three
weeks.
