Joan Crawford Weds
Pepsi-Cola President—
His 2nd, Her 4th
LAS VEGAS, Nev., U&—Movie
Queen Joan Crawford made a fly
ing trip to Las Vegas and was
married in a surprise ceremony
early yesterday to Alfred N.
Steele, president of the Pepsi-Cola
Company.
The 47-year-old star wore a
black and gold dinner dress for
the wedding, attended by just a
few friends. She was in a gay
mood and after the ceremony said:
This is the happiest moment of
my life.”
Miss Crawford and Steele flew
into Las Vegas Monday night in
the business executive’s private
plan?.
Steele, recently divorced, is
from New York City.
For Miss Crawford, a veteran of
more than 25 years in movies, this
was the fourth marriage. She was
married to Douglas Fairbanks Jr.,
in 1929 and they divorced in 1933.
Her marriage to Actor Franchot
Tone in 1935 ended in divorce in
1939. Three years later she and
Philip Terry were married, and
were divorced in 1946.
After the 1946 divorce she told
reporters: “I’ll never go through
this again.”
Fine Job Printing al The Nugget
FORT ST. JOHN, B.C., UR—A
dying Indian mother sat by the
Alaska Highway for more than 12
hours, sheltering her six-day-old
baby as cars and trucks rolled past
her.
When a truck finally stopped, it
was too late. Mrs. Louis Wolf died
shortly after admittance to Provi
dence Hospital here.
Reports reaching this British
Columbia town near the Alberta
border told how she set out on
horseback from Half Way River.
She headed for the highway
where, she had been told, she
would be able to get a ride for
herself and baby to the hospital.
She rode 30 miles and intersected
the road near Mile 100, where
I she sat down to wait.
Huddled in her blanket, she
watched cars and trucks pass by
until, at eight o’clock in the morn
ing, an unidentified truck driver
offered her a lift.
He was going the wrong way.
Twelve hours later, the trucker
was wheeling his heavy, gasoline
laden vehicle back down the high
way from Fort Nelson, B.C.
Mrs. Wolf was still there.
He lifted the mother and baby
into the cab and drove for the
hospital. He made it, but the
mother died shortly afterward.
Hospital authorities said they
were told Mrs. Wolf had been
ill for some time, but had refused
to go to the hospital to have her
baby.
There is no doctor in the 250
miles between Fort St. John and
Fort Nelson and spring mud on
the roads hampers the movement
of B.C. public health officials.
Women’s organizations here have
demanded an inquiry into why the
mother was allowed to sit by the
road to the north, dying.
Daughter Born To Floyd Hills
Sgt. and Mrs. Floyd Hill of ACS
are the parents of a daughter,
Sharon Arlene, born Monday eve
ning at the MMM Hospital, and
weighing 6 pounds, 6 ounces.

Magnuson Hopes Canada
Railway Will Extend to
Alaska Some Day
VANCOUVER, B.C., UTV—Senator
Magnuson (D-Wash) commended
British Columbia in an address
here Monday for its work in de
veloping the Pacific Great Eastern
Railway, saying he hopes the line
will one day go to Alaska.
The chairman of the U.S. Sen
ate’s committee on interstate and
foreign commerce told the Pacific
Northwest Trade Assn, he is glad
to see the route is being extended
both at its northern and southern
ends.
He also said there now is before
the Foreign Relations Committee
in Washington a bill aimed at
granting a study of a proposed
railway from the U.S. up through
the Rocky Mountain Trench to
Alaska.
This would be the counterpart
of a railway which the Russians
are understood to be building out
to the Bering Sea, he said.
The senator also suggested the
possibility of a bridge linking \he
Vancouver Island with the U.S.
