Sinatra Heeds ‘Voice of
Public’ to Fire Writer
Blacklisted as Communist
HOLLYWOOD, UP) — Swinging
Frank Sinatra, swayed by the
angry wind of protest, has fired
Albert Maltz as screenwriter of
the film, “The Execution of Pri
vate Slovik.”
Sintatra’s announcement Friday
night that Maltz, one of Holly
wood’s “unfriendly ten,” won’t
write the script, caught the movie
capitol by Surprise.
Klany of his friends and even
his detractors felt that the hard
headed singer-producer would re
main adamant despite criticism
by such veterarr anti-Communists
as the American Legion, John
Wayne and Ward Bond.
Sinatra, a self-described liberal
Democrat, has a reputation of
taking unpopular positions and
standing by them. At first Sinatra
refused to budge after hiring
Maltz, who was unofficially black
listed 13 years ago when he re
fused to tell a Congressional com
mittee whether he wat a Commu
nist. Maltz, a top screen writer
with such credits as “Destination
Tokyo,” went to jail for contempt
of Congress along with the other
nine unfriendly witnesses.
But Friday night he reversed
his field and announced:
“In view of the reaction of my
family, my friends and the Amer
ican public, I have instructed my
attorneys to make a settlement
with Alert Maltz and to inform
him that he will not write the
screen play for the picture.

By CLARENCE IRRIGOO
New Families
Mark Nupowhotuk and Bernice
Oyaghok, both of Gambell, were
"married Sunday, April 3, in the
Presbyterian Church by Rev. Ar
thur French, he for the second
time, she for her first. Another
marriage was performed by Rev.
French in March—Merlin Koo
nooka and Evelyn Oozeva, tooth
of Gambell and both for the first
time.
New Babies
Several new babies were born
this year, which brings the total
of Gambell population well above
300. Including those who moved
and made their homes away
from Gambell recently, would to
tal up to near 400.
Fur Market
St. Lawrence long-haired extra
white fox skins again brought
money to the trappers this winter.
Three buyers from the mainland
bought all the skins caught the
first three months of the trapping
season, and what is caught thto
rest of the season are sold to the
local buyer recently licensed to
do buying.
April Fool
April 1st 'made a good begin
ning but ended foolish April
Fool’s way. Lincoln Blassie’s boat
harpooned a whale April 1st, tout
it got away with a line and one
seal poke! It was between 8 and
9 i*i the morning. A neighbor
passed the word around but no
one believed the news, thinking
it to be just another April’s Fool.
Miscellaneous
Tommy Koonooka and his
daughter Isabel returned to their
home from Little Diomede Island
last month. Mrs. Bessie Koonooka
and another daughter remained
on the little island. Tommy told
of how the little airplanes land
there in the winter, and that they
were isolated from other parts of
the mainland of Alaska through
out the winter months. Tommy is
happy to be back and Isabel join
ed the Gambell Day School.
KICY was heard number of
times testing. Its signal strength
was real strong compared to that
of the APRS station. Radio lis
teners are waiting to hear the
new station begin its daily pro
grams. We all are hoping that the
weather broadcasts will be in
cluded preferably in the morning
hours. These weather broadcasts
help the natives when they plan
their daily hunts. Come on KICY,
speak up.
Easter Sunday Services are now
written up with the Sunrise Ser
vice at 6 a.m. Open air service is
planned if the weather is good,
which is followed by an Easter
Breakfast. Easter Cantata under
the direction of Rev. Arthur
French will be given at 1 p.m.
Easter Sunday. In the Cantata,
there are solos, duets, quartettes
and mixed choir with Scripture
readings in between music.
Happy Easter Greetings to you
all!
