CARS CAN BE HISTORY
By ROBERT F. S. JONES
AP Newsfeatures
LONDON — A massive, dilapi
dated gray-greeh auto that once
trailed terror behind it is standing
forlornly in a London back street
car mart. Hermann Goerring once
owned it.
Its paintwork scratched and
dirty, its cushions and upholstery
ripped and torn, a mobile fortress
with steel plating covering the
doors and floor, it was bought for
around $3,000 by 44-year-old Ray
mond Way, London car dealer who
makes a hobby of collecting cars
infamous and famous and show
ing them for charity.
Way started buying history in
cars last summer, with the pala
tial Canadian-built Buick used by
the Duke of Windsor at the time
of his abdication 15 years ago.
He bought that for $1,200 and
has raised over $11,000 for charity
with it.
His collection includes a car
once owned by Winston Churchill
when he was boss of the Admiral
ty at the beginning of World War
II, the runabout owned by miss
ing foreign office diplomat Don
ald MacLean, and a car which
once belonged to Eva Eraun.
Way calls the Windsor car the
I
Way seated in Windsor Buick
cream of the bunch. In almost per
fect condition, the cur is crammed
with gadgets which include -a
hand microphone for communica
ting with the driver, a sound
proof rear compartment, button
controlled blinds, a picnic outfit,
makeup box and a writing desk.

Two Wrangell Lumber
Mills Experience
Tax Problems
WRANGELL, UP) — Two Wran
gell lumber mills were hit by tax
j problems last week.
Bureau of Internal Revenue
agents seized the property of the
Alaska Power and Metals Com
pany sawmill at Mill Creek for
back taxes and the town of Wran
gell began advertising the Alaska
Wrangell Mill, Inc. property on
its delinquent tax roll.
The Alaska Wrangell Mills
were bought by C. T. Takahshi, of
Seattle, from a government re
ceiver after World War II. The
mill ran only a week about a
year ago. It has been standing
idle most of the rest of the time
except for installation of new
boilers two years ago and clean
ing up the mill yard.
The town lists part of the pro
perty as tax delinquent as far
back as 1947, with the total tax
bill, including penalties and in
terest, amounting to $7,397.74. The
sum of $2000 was paid on the
tax bill six months ago.
The Alaska Power and Metals
Company, located six miles from
Wrangell will be sold at public
auction May 12. It ran last fall
helping supply contractors build
ing the new Ketchikan pulp mill
until weather forced a shutdown.

Federal Housing Interest
Rates Boosted to 4%%
WASHINGTON, MB — The gov
ernment Saturday boosted inter
est rates to 4V4 per cent on most
home loans insured by the Fed
eral Housing Administration and
guaranteed by the Veterans Ad
ministration.
That means a Vi per cent in
crease on FHA-insured loans on
single dwellings, and a Vz per
cent boost on VA loans and larger
projects insured by the FHA.
The increases apply only on
new loans. Mortgages already in
effect are not affected.
The general increase in rates is
in line with the Eisenhower Ad
ministration’s new “hard money”
policy.
Veteran’s Administrator Carl R.
Gray, Jr., said the VA increase
was ordered “reluctantly and only
as a last resort.”
Gray said that general increases
in interest rates “have resulted
in a drying-up of the supply of
4 per cent money, making it in
creasingly difficult for veterans to
secure homes on that basis.”
Territory Moves to
Protect School Lands Filed
On As Sand, Gravel Mines
ANCHORAGE, UP) — The terri
tory has taken steps to protect its
interest in school lands near Mer
rill Field that are claimed by
three firms on the basis of gravel
discovery claims.
Motions were filed in District
Court for dismissal of actions o'f
two of the firms to obtain clear
title to the 640 acres.
Thomas B. Steward, assistant
attorney general, contended that
discovery of sand and gravel is
not a legal basis for a claim under
the federal mining laws.
The contest for the valuable
lands adjacent to Anchorage be
gan in 1950 when the claims were
filed.
Two Gold Camp Workers
From Alaska To Cruise
Around World in Sailboat
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., (A
— Two bachelors working at a
gold mining camp in Alaska de
cided to make a world cruise.
George Karl, 30, Boone, la., and
Jim Robertson, 26, San Antonio,
Tex., went to Seattle and bought
a two-masted, 34-foot yawl for
about $8,000.
They sailed her here on a 23
day shakedown cruise—and Fri
day they set sail on a leisurely
’round-the-world voyage.
Inexperienced sailors, they
have several books on navigation
and sailing, but no radio trans
mitter. They explained: “If Col
umbus could sail without one, we
can too.”
They’ve enough food for six
months but will reprovision at
Acapulco, Mex., and any other
port that intrigues them. If they
run out of money, they’ll stop
and work.
How long will the voyage take?
What will it cost? They’ve no
idea.
