INTERRUPTS SERVICE
TEMPORARILY
* SEATTLE—Communications fa
cilities of the U.S: Army Alaska
Communication System were in
terrupted Saturday as the result
of a fault in the submarine cable
system in the vicinity of Peters

is presently making preparation
for the repair.
The exact time of restoration
cannot be determined now, altho
limited long distance telephone
facilities will be available.
The public is urged to limit
their calls to the U.S. to those of
urgent nature. Telegraph facili

public is urged to use telegrams
rather than long distance phone
calls during the period of tem

en thruout the afternoon and eve
ning. A sigh of resignation arose
from the crowd of workmen.
There were muffled sobs.
Thank God we found them,”
someone murmured.
The parents, Mr. and Mrs. John
Gurnsey, keeping an anxious
sleepless vigil during the 2Vfc-day
search, had been urged to go to
their trailer home a half mile
away to get some rest and were
not present when the dogged
search ended.

make a forced landing.
The plane, a two-engine C-119,
was enroute from California to

landing could be made at Key
i Air Force Base here.

(two 1,090-pound bombs were
| among the cargo jettisoned. The |
I bombs were not equipped with

I boxes of rockets should handle
I them with care. A violent jar

| detonated when they landed in an
i area north and west of here.
