N.Y. Senate Leader To
Resign Post In Compliance
With Demand by Dewey
ALBANY, N.Y., UP) — Acting Lt.
Gov. Arthur H. Wicks Wednesday
was on his way out as Senate
leader—-but under circumstances
view as a serious blow to Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey’s political pres
tige.
Wicks agreed to resign in the
near future as majority leader
and temporary president oT the
senate, in return for a promise
from his Republican colleagues
not to comply with Dewey’s de
mand that he be ousted.
Wicks will submit his resigna
tion before the 1954 session of
the legislature begins in January.
He will continue as a senator.
The Dewey camp hailed the
outcome as a victory for the gov
ernor, who had insisted that
Wicks, because of his Sing Sing
prison visits to labor extortionist
Joseph S. Fay, quit or else be
stripped of his leadership at the
special session of the legislature.

Carnegie Medal Sought for
Sailor Who Saved Life Of
Shipmate In Bering Sea
SEATTLE, UP) — A seaman who
jumped into the icy Bering Sea
to save a shipmate from drown
ing last June 13 has been recom
mended for the Carnegie Hero’s
Medal, the Coast and Geodetic
Survey announced Monday.
The government agency said it
asked that John L. Strandberg,
Seattle, be considered f or the
award.
Strandberg, a fireman first class
aboard the Survey ship Explorer,
saved the life of Coxswain Wm.
C. Stevens, Newport, N.Y., near
Kanaga Island in the Aleutian
chain.
Stevens, who could not swim,
fell from a motor launch and had
been swept 50 feet away when
Strandberg dived in fully clothed,
swam to him, and held his head
above water until a skiff could
rescue them.
The New York man had been
in the water about 4 minutes and
his head had sunk below the
surface when Strandberg reached
him. The survey estimated that 6
minutes was the maximum sur
vival time in waters that cold.
About 28 percent of U.S. public
school children ride in school
busses.
Lomen Commercials Lose
To Nanooks When Fouls
Reduce Squad To Four
The Nome Nanooks had to fight
from behind last evening as they
edged the Lomen Commercials
52-51 in a heart stopper affair.
The Nome Merchants remained
undefeated in the first game when
they applied clincher to the win
less Air Force Five 35-28.
Lomens had the game well in
hand at the close of the third
period when Jack Unwin fouled
out and coach Sam Mogg had no
sub to replace him. The remain
ing four players tried vainly to
stem the Nanook rush and just
about pulled the game out of the
fire in the closing seconds with a
couple of dramatic baskets, only
to have the high school hit for
two of their own, with the win
ning shot coming about seven
seconds before the end of play.
The Commercials held a com
manding 13-5 quarter score and
rolled up a 28-17 count by half
time. At the third quarter it was
in their favor 37-29, but they got
beat 52-51 in the end.
Buzzy Swanberg paced the
game with 22, Sam Mogg, Jr., 10,
Bob Herman 8, Dave Bell and
Korky Kost 6 each. For Lomens,
Jack Unwin checked in with 18,
Johnny Schellenbach 14, Vince
Ahkolik 11, Ray Kangas 6, and
Perry Kagoona 2.
The Air Force Five made a
fight of it for two and a half
quarters before falling victim to
the Merchants. Steady playing
and shooting on the part of Geo.
Bell, who hit several spectacular
shots, and Arnie Castell’s fire
ball play, paid off for the winners.
The Merchants led 9-7 in the
first quarter, but the two teams
tied at 18-18 at the half. In the
third period, the winners hit for
10 while holding the opposition
to 5 and won going away in the
] final quarter 35-28.
For the Merchants, George Bell
13, Castell 10, Nershak 5, Harold
Bell 4, Gary Longley 2, and Roy
Luke 1. For the Airmen, Beals 12,
Goodgame, O’Brien and Kegler 4
each, Hamilton and Novak 2 each.
The Friday doubleheader pits
the Lomen Commercials against
the Air Force Five in the first
game, to be followed by the De
tachment 23rd meeting the Nome
Nanooks at 8:15.

Kidnapers’ 36-Page
Confession Made Public
KANSAS CITY, WW—The grim
story of how Carl Austin Hall
shot and killed little Bobby
Greenlease as he struggled for his
life was told Tuesday in the ex
convict’s confession.
The confession was made public
for the first time when it was
read at the federal trial of Hall
and Bonnie Brown Heady before
a jury called to determine whe
ther they shall die for their crime.
Hall, the 34-year-old playboy
who turned to crime when his in
herited fortune was squandered,
showed little signs of emotion as
the 36 pages of gruesome detail
was read.
Robert C. Greenlease, the multi
millionaire father of the little boy,
sat just inside the court railing.
He was less than eight feet from
Hall at the defendant’s table.

Unauthorized Scientific
Activity In Greenland By
U.S.A.F. Peeves Danes
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, UB—
The Danish government was re
ported Monday night to have won
an assurance from a top U.S. Air
Force general that Americans will
desist from unauthorized scienti
fic activity on U. S. bases in
Greenland.
The Danes were reported peeved
that “certain scientific investiga
tions” had been carried out by the
Americans without approval.
U.S. Air Force Gen. Charles T.
Myers, chief of the Northeast
Command, embracing all U. S.
military activities in Greenland
and certain northern Canadian
points, left Copenhagen after three
days of talks with Danish offi
cials.
He was said to have been
“called on the carpet” and given
a dressing down for an alleged
breach of the 1951 agreement with
Denmark giving the United States
permission to use the bases.
Take A Lesson From History?
WASHINGTON, (tf) — A high
light of Tuesday in history:
On this day in 1891, Alaska
asked for a territorial form of
government.
PS: It didn’t make it until
Aug. 24, 1912.
It is almost impossible to swim
in the Dead Sea because arms and
legs protrude from the thick, oily
water.

mav likely enjoy such wonderful relief as many others have re
