Sweden Nabs
Gold Smuggler
GOTTEBORG. Sweden, UP) —
A Frenchman is behind bars here
because of the bars — 28 gold ones
worth $300,800 — welded into his
automobile.
Henri Szeinolinger, 46, was
charged with smuggling. Police
told a story of intrigue behind a
chase a half way around the
world:
An international syndicate
bought the gold in Switzerland
last spring and rigged a 1956
American car to smuggle the met
al to a buyer in India. Szeinolin
ger was hired to make the deliv
ery. ^
With the car, the Frenchman
sailed from Genoa in July — and
then disappeared. The syndicate
sent agents to search for him.
Szeinolinger ran short of mo
ney and contacted a friend in
Paris to help bring the car back
from India. The limousine was
put on a Ship bound for Europe
and Szeinolinger took a plane.
When the ship arrived in Lon
don, he arranged for transfer of
the car with its valuable cargo to
another ship bound for Sweden.
But Swedish customs had been
tipped off and seized the car on
arrival. Szeinolinger was arrested.
The gold was locked up in the
Bank of Sweden pending the dis
position of the case.

Nome’s Social Season
Opens Saturday With The
Pioneer Roof Garden
What the Mardi Gras is to New
Orleans, the Pioneer Roof Garden
is to Nome, the great annual social
event of the year. It has been
celebrated in Nome for half a
century, and this being its Golden
Anniversary it is claiming state
wide attention.
Plane reservations from various
towns in Alaska, and some from
the States indicate unusual inter
est this year in this important
social event.
Axel Edman, president of Igloo
No. 1, under whose auspices, com
bined with the Ladies Auxiliary,
this grand celebration is being
conducted, advises that all com
mittee^ are working diligently and
giving unsparingly of their time
and efforts to make this golden
anniversary one long to be re
membered. This is especially true
of the committee in charge of the
play which is being directed by
Russell Hermann, who. we are
told, is going to present a one
act melodrama with a local cast
which will be typical of early
life in Alaska when Nome was iso
lated during the long winter sea
son. There will be many sur
prises, impersonations, etc., in
connection with this play.
The diversified entertainment
prepared for the evening includes
games of chance, some so unique
that eeryone old arid young can
participate and win prizes. Danc
ing of the old and new variety
with music furnished by Nome's
own orchestra will continue
throughout the evening. Refresh
ments will be served in the "Road
house," where you can indulge
in genuine Alaskan hospitality.
ALL FOR FREE.

Drugged ‘Super Dog’
Leads Long Chase
ST. LOUIS, Mo., UP) — A pen
chant for hanging around taverns
and a “snoozeburger” helped bring
about the downfall of Rocky the
recalcitrant police dog trainee.
Rocky ran away from his train
ing quarters three days ago. Ap
parently enjoying freedom from
boring drills, he resisted all ef
forts to lure him back.
But he began frequenting a tav
ern. So trainer Joe Wood fixed up
the “snoozeburger” — ground
beef loaded with a sedative. Rocky
downed it yesterday.
Wood figured it would be about
15 minutes before the drug took
effect. So when Rocky took off,
Wood followed confidently. It was
three hours, many hills, many
weed patches and a golf course
later before Rocky finally col
lapsed and fell asleep.
“That’s a super dog,” gasped
Wood.
