Eligibility of
Gruening to Run
i Questioned
ANCHORAGE, lift—An Anchor
age accountant Friday asked the
Federal District Court to declare
former Gov. Ernest Gruening in
eligible to run for senator on the
grounds he is not a bone fide resi
dent of the territory.
The action was started by A.
Van Seventer, who atlts a declar
atory judgment or an injunction
to prevent Gruening from seeking
the office under the Ala~ka-Ten
nessee Plan. Gruening is the Dem
ocratic nominee under the plan
which would send a senator to
Washington to take office wnen
and if the territory is admitted to
statehood.
Van Seventer’s action contends
Gruening could not be a legal
resident because he obtained gov
ernment travel pay and expenses
from Juneau “to his home in
Washington, D.C.” when his term
expired as governor.
The suit also claims Gruening
since that time has been compen
sated for travel to Alaska “from j
his home in Washington, D.C.”
While in Alaska, Van Seventer
maintains, Gruening “resided for
the most part in hotels or other
temporary lodging.”

Burned Out Switch Is
Cause of Power Failure
As everyone is probably aware
Nome suffered a power failure
today at 1:15 that lasted until
5:30 p.m.
A conduit at the city power
sprung a leak and allowed rain
to flow down the conduit into a
very critical switch causing it
to burn out. That particular
switch is the one which permits
the switching in of mining com
pany power, so the city was
without electricity until the
switch and wiring were repaired.
A few streets in the norteast
section of town had power all
the time.
When the power was turned on
again at about 5:30, one sec
tion along '’Front Street lost its
power again almost immediately.
This was caused by on overload
when the business houses on this
section had left their heavy cur
rent switches on and the sudden
load threw out the circuit break
ers. As luck would have it the
Nugget was on this line so we {
are later than ever.

Jimmy Durante, 65,
Announces Engagement
To Margie Little, ,35
HOLLYWOOD, (**—Comedian
(Jimmy Durante, 63, and his 35
■ year-old fiancee have returned to
! Hollywood, a little astonished at
| all the fuss.
I News of the comic's engage
ment to Margie Little, an actress
from Scotch Plains, N.J., was dis
closed Saturday night at the open
ing of a tennis eltib in Phoenix.
"Why, we’ve been going, to
gether for 10 or 11 years,” the
Schnozzola said upon returning
here last night.
He said they plan to be mar
ried “sometime next year.”
Durante was married in 1916 to
the former Jeanne Olsen. She
died in 1943.
Hollywood has long guessed he
referred to Miss Little when he
signed off his radio and television
shows with “Goodnight, Mrs. Cal
abash, wherever you are.”
