Freight Maneuvered
Abound Stuck Barge
Outbound freight for the S.S.
Nenana is being maneuvered to
day around the barge Port of
Bandon of the B & R Tug and .
Barge of Kotzebue which is ,
aground at the mouth of the river.
It is loaded with construction
equipment being shipped out and
must await higher water in order
to be pulled out of the river.
"STUCK"
The monster thing sits idle there.
In helplessness belayed,
A bigger load it tried to bear,
So now it's firmly stayed.
The citv snickers at the plight,
Of this disabled float,
As all the tugs display their might
Without a gainful note.

SOFTBALL MEETING
7:30 p.m. — TUESDAY NIGHT
NATIONAL GUARD ARMORY
Chambers Hears Visitor
From Puerto Rico
Jorge Bird, representing the
Chamber of Commerce of Puerto
Rico, spoke at Chamber luncheon
today, bringing a message from
the “smallest country to the
largest country” of the United
States of America. He explained
States of America.
He explained that Puerto Rico
has three factions: those satisfied
with commonwealth status, those
demanding statehood, and a very
small segment who wish to be no
part of the United States.
When questioned about Cuba,
Mr. Bird stated that Puerto Rico
has benefitted from the Castro
troubles in Cuba as the tourist
trade has flourished and many
new hotels have been built to
accommodate the influx of visit
ers diverted, to his country be
cause of the unsettled conditions
since the revolution.
He described Castro as a young
man with an unbalanced mind.
This is authenticated, he said, by
teachers and those close to Castro.
Mr. Bird predicted that the Cas
tro regime will be wiped out in
due time. “Castro is a sick man
. . . This man is mad and the
situation is dangerous and sad,”
he said.
Mr. Bird plans to return to Al
aska with an organized tour group
of Puerto Ricans so they may see
Alaska at first hand as a state
and make their own decisions
on what their own status shall
be.
