Senators Watch Patterson
Johansson Bout for
Promotion Racketeering
WASHINGTON, OP) — Senate
investigators said they are watch
ing for any moves by racketeers
to cash in on the Johansson-Pat
terson heavyweight championship
bout next Monday.
Sen. Estes Kefauver told a re
porter he had authorized this
scrutiny.
Kefauver heads the Senate An
ti-trust and Monopoly Subcom
mittee now investigating under
world influence in professional
boxing. Two days of public hear
ings which ended Wednesday con
cluded the first phase of the
stuy.
Rand Dixon, the subcommittee’s
chief counsel, charged that boxing
is “rotten from top to bottom”
and needs federal regulation.
The subcommittee already had
disclosed that Ingemar Johansson,
the Swedish World Heavyweight
Champion, and Floyd Patterson,
will be witnesses in later hear
ings on alleged irregularities con
cerning the promotion side of
their first bout a year ago.

NEWS LETTER
By CLARENCE IRRIGOO
Spring, 1960
Spring hunting was short. Ice
went away with! This results in
only fair catch of walrus and
oogruks and one whale.
Village boat captains met to
discuss the number of mother
walrus and baby to be killed this
spring. The meeting was called
because some objections made by
natives about the number of wal
rus to be killed during the sea
son. The number of animals the
Game Regulation permitted each
boat to kill seemed too few. With
the population of more than 300
in Gambell plus around 800 male
mutes to feed, the authorized
amount of catch in spring is hard
ly enough to last 12 months.
Below is a personal opinion: If
the Game Regulations insist that
the rules covering that part of
Alaska inhabited by the Eskimos
and all those entirely dependent
upon Game and Fish of Bering
Sea — have relief food available
at all times, so when needed, it
can be secured without hollering
back to Washington, D. C.
U-2 and U-Boats
On May 31, unidentified subma
rine was sighted north of Gambell
which alerted our armed forces
concerned. According to the in
formation received here imme
diately before this news-print,
said the report of sighting of a
submarine was called a “false
report.” Because some detecting
equipment did not notice anything
that looked like subs, the report
was called false.
June 9, 1960 — Another sight
ing of a submarine was reported
—and seen by more than one per
son approximately in the same
area of the previous sighting. A
hunter during that night heard
some mechanical sounds right
where the people saw the sub.
These people who lived all their
lifetime watching whales can
without too much difficulty tell
between a whale and a subma
rine. So, you who are behind the
radar screens, don’t sleep. U-2 in
cident is making he U-Boats
move around!
House Committee Refuses
To Consider Increase in
U. S. Postal Rates
WASHINGTON, UP) — The Ad
ministration’s request for an in
crease in postal rates was all but
killed Thursday when the House
Post Office Committee refused to
consider it.
The committee scheduled an
other meeting for next week, but
reports of yesterday’s stormy ses
sion indicated the proposal to
raise an additional 554 million
dollars in postal revenue is dead
for this session.
