U.S. Refusal To
Extradite Draws
Italian’s Accusation
NOVARA, Italy, UP) — Trial of
two Americans in absentia on
charges , of murdering their war
time commander drew toward a
close Tuesday with an accusation
that the United States “committed
a grave error” in refusing to ex
tradite the pair.
Giuliano- Allegra, lawyer for
one of three Italians on trial with
the absent Americans, made the
accusation in a brief summation of
the case. The United States’ refus
al, Allegra said, “leads me to be
lieve that the government does not
consider the two men guilty.”
He referred to former Lt. Aldo
Icardi of Pittsburgh and former
Sgt. Carl Lo Dolce o'f Rochester,
N.Y., accused of murdering Maj.
William Holohan of New York
City behind enemy lines in north
ern Italy in 1944. They have de
nied the accusations.
Allegra, Christian Democrat
mayor of Novara and professor of
criminal law at the Catholic Uni
versity of Milan, asked aquittal
o'f all three Italians standing trial
—Aminta Migliari, Giuseppe Man
nini and Gualtieor Tozzini.
The three Italians, former par
tisans, are accused of participa
ting in Holohan’s murder, alleg
edly engineered by Icardi and
carried out by Lo Dolce. Holohan
was chief of an intelligence mis
sion charged with supplying arms
to Partisan groups in northern
Italy.

Marie Dionne, One of The
Quints, Enters A Convent
QUEBEC, UP) — Marie Dionne
Wednesday spent her first day in
silent work and prayer behind the
cloistered walls of a Roman Cath
olic religious order.
Marie, who with her four sis
ters has been in the public eye
ever since their quintuplet birth
19 years ago, turned her back on
the world Tuesday to enter the
order of Les Servantes du Tres
Saint-Sacrament (Servants of the
Blessed Sacrament) at the convent
here.
Marie will be a postulant for six
months. Then for two years she
will be in the novitiate stage, after
which she will have for three
years an annual profession of
vows—poverty, chastity and obe
dience. She may then take per
petual vows to devote the rest
of her life to the order.
There were tearful goodbyes
from Mrs. Dionne and Marie’s sis
ters as they watched her in the
severe garb of the postulant step
behind a grill to go to chapel for
benediction of the blessed sacra
ment and the start of her new
life.
Christine Jorgensen
Paid $12,500 Weekly
For Nightclub Act
LAS VEGAS, NeV., UPL-Chris
tine (erstwhile George) Jorgensen,
who professes to have undergone,
a sexual transformation from
male to female with the aid of
Danish scientists, told about her
operation Tuesday night.
It was the opening of two-weeks
engagement at the Sahara, the
hotel which cancelled her book
ing four months ago on the
grounds she wasn’t what she said
she was. The hotel has since re
lented.
Miss Jorgensen has a new act—
and a partner—in which she sings
three songs, tells a few Jorgen
sen jokes and gives a brief run
down on what happened to her
in Denmark.
For this the hotel says it’s pay
ing her $12,500 a week.

BANK OF ALASKA
NOME ALASKA
Review of Mining
Potentialities Of
Seward Peninsula
By HOWARD LYNG
Territorial Senator
The third in a series of articles
exclusive to the Nome Nugget
The present mining season wit
nessed the beginning of the end
of the moribund condition that has
gripped the Kougarok region since
the time a group of Washington,
D.C., bureaucrats arbitrarily shut
down gold mining in 1942. The
long-dormant Kougarok appears
to be in for a resumption of ex
ploration, prospecting, ihydraulic
ing, and dredging.
The one chiefly responsible and
to whom most credit is due is an
old timer, via Dawson, Fairbanks,
Ruby, Iditarod and Nome — Sam
Godfrey, Duke of the Kougarok.
Sam’s faith in the Kougarok never
faltered; instead he hung on year
after year, prospecting, drilling,
and mining on a small scale, all
the while accumulating more
ground until today he and his as
sociates have 14 miles of Kougar
ok River dredging ahead of them
together with many benches well
worth hydraulicing.
Among those associated with
Sam is the Tweet family of Teller.
This pioneer Alaskan family con
sists of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Tweet
and their sons and families. Mr.
and Mrs. Tweet came to Teller,
80 miles northwest of Nome, in
1900. There they mined and
raised their family, all Teller
born. Norman Tweet, Harold
Tweet, wife and daughter, Bill
Tweet, wife and three children,
comprise this pioneer Second Div
ision family. The oldest son, Ed
gar Tweet, passed on a number of
years ago, but his widow, the for
mer Mary Monagle of Juneau,
carries on with two trading posts,
one at Teller, the other at Lost
River.
The Tweets have spent the past
two seasons mining several of the
Kougarok River benches at Tay
lor, and removing surface over
burden for several miles ahead of
their two and a half foot bucket
pontoon dredge, formerly known
as the Keenan and Castleton
Dredge. They have been using
eight bulldozers and a number of
pumping units in these operations.
This dr'edge, one of the 25
dredges mining on Seward Penin
sula in 1942 when the ill-advised
shutdown order emminated from
Washington, D.C., has had a com
plete overhaul and will resume
digging next June. The Duke of
the Kougarok says it has many
years digging ahead.
A second Kougarok River dredge
may resume digging in the near
future. It is owned by John Vlaar,
Gus Carlson and Jack Bullock.
John Larsen and Wilson Bourdon,
for the past two seasons, have
been drilling downstream from
Henry Creek to Coarse Gold for
the owners. They still have sev
eral miles to go ahead of the
dredge, and it has not yet been
decided whether or not this will
be done before moving the dredge
upstream.
Another long-inactive dredge is
located on Harris Creek below
Taylor. Known as the North Fork
Dredge, is was operated for sev
eral years by W. R. McDonald
and Pete Reader, with Sig Wien
as an inactive partner. Pete Read
er several years ago bought out
his partners and is now sole own
er, but to date has made no an
nofmcernent of his future plans.

Coastwise Line
Starts Fresh Meat
Shipments To Alaska
SEATTLE, UP) — The Coastwise
Line inaugurated fresh-meat ship
ments to Alaska with the sailing
of the freighter Pacificus today,
E. A. Gardner, district manager,
announced in Seattle.
Most meat going to Alaska is
frozen.
Two boxes 20 by eight by eight
feet have been installed on the
deck of Pacificus. The two will
hold a total of about 30,000
pounds of fresh meat, hung in the
same way as in shore-side butcher
shops.
In the $90,000 worth of fresh
and frozen meats loaded aboard
were 15 tons of fresh-hung beef.
The shipment is an experiment,
according to Gardner, to give
Alaskans the fresh meat they have
shown they prefer over frozen
meat which now reaches them by
ocean transportation.
