ALASKANS HOLD
WORLD RECORD FOR
TALKING ON PHONE
NEW YORK, [ffi — Maybe you
think your teen - age daughter
holds the record for talking on
the telephone? You’re probably
j wrong—unless you live in Alaska.
Alaskans have displaced Ha
waiians as the talkingest people
in the world as far as the phone
is concerned.
Alaska averaged 630 conversa
tions per person last year to lead
the yak-yak list, according to
“World’s Telephones,” an annual
survey released yesterday by the
American Telephone & Telegraph
Co.
Hawaii, first the year before,
was second with an average of
531 conversations per inhabitant.
Canada had 481, Sweden 455 and
the United States 426. The world
average was 51.

Airman Awarded
$187,000 as Result
Of Jet Crash
SAN FRANCISCO UP)—The U.S.
government settled for $187,000
Wednesday an $800,000 suit that
was brought by an Air Force ser
geant and his family as the result
of a jet fighters crash in Alaska
which killed three relatives.
The settlement includes $37,000
for attorney fees and awards
$150,000 to T. Sgt. William F.
Fimple, McClelland Air Force
Base, Sacramento, Calif.; his wife
Ethel, 24, and two minor children.
All four suffered critical and
disfiguring burns when the plane
crashed near their quarters at Ei
elson Air Force Base near Fair
banks Nov. 29, 1955.
The Fimple’s triplet sons, 11
months old. were all fatally
burned when the plane fell near
their home.
Total casualties of the crash
were 14 dead, including the pilot,
and 8 injured.
The compromise stipulated that
none of the money was to go to
Fimple himself because his in
juries came off duty and the U.S.
was not liable for them in a civil
action.

increase in shipping rates to and

This was indicated yesterday as
the Federal Maritime Board be
gan consideration of the request
of Alaska Steamship Co. and
other shippers for an emergency
increase of up to 12Ws percent.
Timing of the board’s action
may depend on a decision wheth
er to act on the request in the
absence of Chairman Clarence G.
Morse. He was to leave yesterday
for the west coast and is not ex
