Supreme Court
To Decide Alien
Exclusion Case
WASHINGTON, UR — The Su
preme Court Monday agreed to
decide an alien exclusion case
that could have a bearing on
Singer Dick Haymes’ efforts to
escape deportation.
Specifically, the high court will
review a decision that Congress
had the power to bar aliens from
returning to the United States
from an outlying American pos
session.
Haymes is contesting deporta
tion proceedings brought against
him on the grounds he was ineli
gible to re-enter the United States
after he visited Rita Hayworth in
Honolulu last June. Haymes, a
native of Argentina, and Rita
have been married. His case has
not yet reached the court stage.
The case now before the Su
preme Court involves the decision
by a special three-judge federal
court in Seattle that aliens who
leave Seattle to work in Alaska
fish canneries during the summer
may be barred under the McCar
ran-Walter immigration Act.
Constitutionality of the bar was
questioned by officers of Local 37,
International Longshoremen’s and
Warehousemen’s Union. They said
the union has more than 3,ODO
members, many of whom are
aliens.

Airlines Carry 300 Million
Ton-Miles Freight In 1953
LQS ANGELES — A record
shattering 275 to 300 million
ton-miles of air freight — more
than 21 times the volume of the
first postwar year, 1946—will be
carried by U. S. domestic air
lines during 1953, according to
an article in the current issue
of Planes, official publication of
Aircraft Industries Association.
This forecast, based on cur
rent business trends, was made
by Emery Johnson, vice presdent
and general manager of Air Car
go Inc. a veteran of 25 years in
the aviation industry.
Tonnage for the first six
months of this year exceeded
119.8 million ton miles, an excess
of 18 per cent over the 101.6
million registered in the same
period in 1952.
The fact that increasing num
bers of U. S. businessmen are
turning to air freight shipments
as an avenue to improved effi
ciency and higher profits is evi
denced by the remarkable growth
of air freight operations. In 1946,
less than 15 million ton - miles
were flown. By 1949, this figure
had increased to more than 100
million ton-miles. And last year,
it approached 225 million ton
miles. •

I can” for the bill when it reaches
the Senate floor.

Mining News
TDM October Bulletin
It has been reported that the
prospecting program in the radio
active area of the Peace River

mer because of a bulldozer break
down. It is presumed that this
work will continue next year.
The Big Hurrah gold - quartz
mine approximately 43 miles east
of Nome and which has been
flooded since 1907 has been un
watered. It was sampled and
mapped. Results from this work
have caused the ^owners to plan
on rehabilitating the camp and
putting the mine into production
this winter. Supplies are now be
ing shipped north. The operating
company is the Alaskan Associ
ates, Limited, of Portland, Ore.
The Big Hurrah property also
carries scheelite.
The Zenda Gold Mining Co. has
ceased their drilling for placer tin
near Cape Mountain for the sea
