70-Year-Old Couple
Survive Emergency Trip
Down Alaska River Rapids
FAIRBANKS, UP) — A 70-year- J
old Alaska couple told Saturday |
of a harrowing, 90 - mile journey !
down the turbulent Forty Mile
and Yukon Rivers on an impro
vised raft of oil barrels and can
vas.
Mrs. Ed Janeau suffered a
stroke at their isolated mining
■ camp on Smith Creek, 30 miles
up Forty Mile River. The stroke i
caused paralysis of her left side, j
Janeau put out emergency |
signs in the hopes of attracting j
the attention of passing aircraft
but the signs went unnoticed.
In desperation he constructed
the flimsy raft and with Mrs.1
Janeau shot the dangerous Forty
Mile rapids with the river higher
than it had been in many years.
They floated down the Forty
Mile to- its mouth and from there
50 miles down the Yukon to
Eagle, where they were picked up
by a Wien Airlines plane. They
arrived here Saturday and Mrs.
Janeau was taken to a Fairbanks
hospital.
Janeau and his wife have
mined in Alaska for the past 40
years.
Gov. Prefers All of Alaska
As A State To Partition
ANCHORAGE, UP) — Governor
Heintzleman had no comment
Saturday about a recent proposal
by chairman Miller (R-Neb) of
the House Interior Committee
which might delay further state
hood action for Alaska at least
two years.
“I haven’t made any suggestions
about delaying action,” Heintzle
man said. “As I have told many
people many times, I prefer to see
the entire territory taken in as
a state. I am for an alternate plan
for partition only as a second
choice, allowing us to get as much
as we can.”

X-Ray Camera Loaded
With Radioactive Stuff
Stolen From Pipeline Job
ANCHORAGE. (PP\ — Twentieth
century atomic living seems to
have caught up with the far north.
Territorial police all over Al
aska were relaying a warning to
day to this effect:
Last Friday an X-ray camera
was stolen at Mile 1150 on the
Alaska Highway. This stoleJi
camera, used for checking oil
pipeline welds, is loaded with a
powerful substance, similar to
radium and if the shutter should
be opened, the rays would be ex
tremely dangerous.
About one in every 16 people
in the United States has some
form of heart or blood vessel
disease.
Heavyweight Held
On Charges of
Fixing Fight
NEW YORK, UP — Clarence
Henry, 27-year-old former heavy
weight contender, was ordered
held on $50,000 bail Saturday
after arraignment on charges of
trying to “fix” Friday’s fight at
Madison Square Garden.
Henry appeared before Magis
trate Thomas Cullen to answer
charges that he offered a $15,000
bribe to middleweight Bobby
Jones of Oakland, Calif., to throw
his fight to Joey Giardello of
Philadelphia.
The Negro heavyweight, once
rated No. 3 in his division, was
arrested Friday after Jones had
told authorities he had been twice
approached with bribe offers.
Henry steadfastly denied the
charge.
The alleged attempt to bribe
Jones, an underdo'g in the Giar
dello fight, provided one of the
most bizarre cases in New York
ring history.
While experts scratched their
heads, wondering why Henry
would try to fix the 2-1 underdog,
the former title contender assert
ed his innocence.
“This is all a mistake,” he said.
“I went to see Bobby because I
always see him when we’re in
town. We’re friends. They had to
get somebody and I was the
chosen party.”
He did not say who “they” were.
Just about everyone involved in
the case was annoyed at someone
with the possible exception of
Jones, a fair fighter, but regarded
as no match for the rugged Giar
dello.
District Attorney Frank Hogan
was irked because the story was
broken before he was ready to
move in. He said he had intended
to try to round up the “whole
mob” just before the fight.
For his part, Giardello said he
“ought to be insulted.”
“A guy who would want to pay
Jones to throw the fight can’t be
thinking much of me as a fighter,”
he added. “The way I feel about
it, Jones is in for a beating with
out taking any bribes.”
Before Henry made the $15,000
offer, Jones had received two
other offers, each for $5,000 from
strangers—one last Saturday and
the other last Tuesday.
Measurements have been made
so accurate as to record the dis
tortion of a -bar of steel when a
housefly lights on it.
New hit with millions!

Alaska Labor Hits
Military on Use of
Troops at Naknek
ANCHORAGE, Uft—A sharp con
troversy between the military in
Alaska and local labor and indus
trial leaders over the use of troop
labor broke out into the open Fri
day.
A1 Owen of the Alaska Building
Trades Council started the row
recently when he charged the Air
Force was paving a substantial
area and doing other construction
work at Naknek Air Force Base,
with all work being done with
troop labor.
Owen said a directive issued in
1952 orders that all military con
struction work be done by civilian
labor when possible. He said the
Naknek work was being done at
the expense of civilian construc
tion workers.
Owen said both the Building
Trades Council and the Associa
tion of General Contractors had
protested to the Pentagon through
their Washington representatives.
The public information office of
the Alaska Air Command retorted
Friday the work at Naknek—on
an airstrip—is being done “strictly
in accordance with the training
program for aviation engineers ...
and financed by funds appropri
ated by Congress for the particu
lar purpose of training.”
“In order for these men to per
form their jobs adequately,” a
strongly-worded Air Force state
ment said, “they have to be
trained and the only way to train
them is to put them on the jobs—
exactly the assignment they have
at Naknek and other locations.”
