One of Three Men Who
Drowned In Tanana Was
Well Known Dr. Kellum
SEATTLE, UP— Dr. S. M. Kel
lum of Seattle, one of three men
lost .Monday in a Tanana River
boat mishap, was a physician who
had been in many parts of Alaska.
The 54-year-old doctor has been
safety engineer with a Haines
Fairbanks pipeline construction
crew. His wife said he had prac
ticed in Ketchikan and other
places in Alaska. He was a grad
uate of Reed Medical College in
Chicago.
Mrs. Kellum, who returned two
weeks ago from a summer at the
construction camp, clung to hope
that he may have got ashore
somehow, as did four others in
the boat.
“If they got to shore, he’d
know what to do,” she said. “He’s
lived in Alaska most of his life
and is an excellent outdoor man.”
A report from Fairbanks said
a search was continuing for
some trace of Dr. Kellum and
Clyde Yenne after the body of
Sam Bulavski, 18, was found in
the river.
Alaska Steam to Increase
Freighter Capacity At
End of Passenger Service
SEATTLE, Ufi — The Alaska
Steamship Co. today announced
an increased - capacity freighter
schedule between Seattle and Al
aska, to take effect when passen
ger service is discontinued next
month.
The last passenger sailing will
be made by the Denali, which is
scheduled to leave Seattle Sept.
24 and return Oct. 6
Under the new schedule the
company will have two sailings a
week for southwestern Alaska,
with departures each Tuesday
and Friday, a sailing each Friday
for southeastern Alaska, and an,
additional vessel every three
weeks that will call at Kodiak j
Island. i
Five Knot-type and four Lib
erty ships will be employed to
maintain this service,” said W. J.
Manahan, general traffic man
ager.
This does not allow for the use
of the steamships Baranof and
Denali, which are scheduled for
conversion from passenger ships
to freighters. i
Charles Says His Last
Fight With Rocky Proved
Champ Is No Superman
MONTICELLO, N.Y., UPi-^Just
to get it over with fast, yes,
Ezzard Charles remembers the
pasting he took from Rocky Mar
ciano in their last heavyweight
championship fight.
The challenger well recalls it
and so does his manager, Tom
Tannas.
Therefore, their reasoning is
that the memory o'f the last battle
will have a bad psychological ef
fect on Ezzard, who climbs into
the Yankee Stadium ring against
Marciano in just six days.
“Only the match will disclose
that,” said Charles as he resumed
heavy drills that will keep him
busy until Monday. “I feel the
same as I did before our last
meeting. I might say even better.
I know what to expect and will
have a tetter offense and de
fense.
“I know, and I think that I
proved, that Rocky is no super
man. If it weren’t for that wild
crippling blow tO‘ the adam’s
apple in the ninth, I’m certain
my performance would have been
even better.”

Sen. Irving M. Ives
Groomed To Replace
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
NEW YORK, UR — Sen. Irving
M. Ives said Thursday he would
accept the Republican nomination
for governor if the state conven
tion names him as its choice to
succeed retiring Gov. Thomas E. }
Dewey.
Ives, whose Senate term. has
four years to run, has been en- ?
dorsed by Dewey and the Repub
lican Executive Committee. His
nomination at the Syracuse con
vention starting Sept. 2 is re
garded as virtually certain.
A number of important Demo
cratic leaders have announced
they will back Averell Harriman,
former Mutual Aid chief and once
ambassador to Soviet Russia, for
the governorship.
The Democratic state conven
tion in New York City Sept. 21-22
may face a floor fight, however,
because some elements of the
'
party still are strong for Rep.
Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr., son of
the late President.
