Sammy Davis Jr. Victim
Of Vicious Racial Abuse
On Streets of London
LONDON, Iff) — Negro enter
tainer Sammy Davis Jr. came
close to crying today after what
he described as “The most sav
age racial attack I have ever
come across.
He walked out of the Pigalle
Theater Restaurant into a group
of demonstrators from Sir Oswald
Mosley’s British Fascist Union
movement.
As he crossed the sidewalk to
his car, they booed, jeered and
waved banners at him saying:
“Go home, nigger.”
His chauffeur-driven car roared
away, but a Mosley truck trailed
it while a man inside hurled
abuse through a loudspeaker.
Nearly 30 Mosley men arrived
outside the restaurant shortly
before Davis’ first performance
ended. They waved banners say
ing “Sammy back to the trees,
says Mosley” and “Get divorced
first, slag.”
A slag is British slang for a
white woman who associates with
Negroes. Davis’ fiancee, Swedish
actress Mai Britt, is not due to
receive a final divorce from her
first husband until Sept. 28.

Know Your
Civil Air Patrol
By ROY A. CONKLIN
C.A.P. Information Service Officer
The new object which has of
late been shining in the Nome sky
is none other than the flaming
orange-trimmed L-20 Beaver re
cently assigned to the Nome
Squadron of the C.A.P.
We are looking forward with
much anticipation to the uses we
shall find for this aircraft, and
in support of previous articles,
we further state that we are now
more ready than ever to go to the
assistance of those travelers in
need. Be it known around Nome
as of now, that if you have a
friend who fails to show up
at his usual haunts and you are
interested in finding him, the
C.A.P. search and rescue is at
your disposal.
For the pilots in our popula
tion, let us point out that filing
of flight plans with itinerary,
time en route and point of desti
nation has numerous advantages,
among them being that the C.A.P.
can reduce by three the number
of directions to search for you. If
you are not a pilot and fail to
make your presence known for
an unreasonable length of time,
then it is reasonable to assume
that one of your relatives will
send forth the C.A.P. to search
you out. For those who have no
relatives, you can rest assured
that the C.A.P. will seek you out
at the behest of a friend. If it is
deemed to be in the interest of
humanity, the C.A.P. will disperse
parties far and wide to seek and
find, even at the request of a
creditor — this last being only
that he is genuinely concerned
with your safety.
In Nome we are at the call of
Pilots, Autoists, Small Boat Op
erators, Hikers, Berry Pickers,
Hunters (in and out of season .
Fishermen, and Tourists. In fact
there seems to be so many cate
gories that we shall suffice to say
that the only prerequisite for our
service is that you be either lost
or presumed to be lost.
Our L-20 Beaver can be seen in
the tie-down area near Munz Air
ways hangar at the FAA field,
and anyone wishing to inspect it
is welcome to do so if they wilt
first contact and be escorted by
either a C.A.P. Cadet or Senior
Member. As a prerequisite for
either flying or riding in this air
craft you must either (1) get lost
and be evacuated back to Nome
in it or (2) join the Civil Air
Patrol as a Senior Member and
(a) be a licensed pilot and (b) be
checked out by a certified C.A.P.
check pilot.
Fred Cook has reported the sad
news of the death of a brother,

years of age, and Fred had not
seen him for about 50 years. Fred

‘Red Carpet for
Tourists, Industry
SEATTLE, UPi — Alaska is
offering “red carpet” welcomes to
both tourists and industries, A. H.
Romick, the new state’s Commis
sioner of Commerce, said here
yesterday.
Visitors will find improved
hotel facilities in the state’s lead
ing cities, he said.
New industries will find the
state’s tax forgiveness legisla
tion a powerful incentive, he
continued. Exemption from state
taxes for a period of from five to
10 years is offered to new indus
tries.
A state bond issue, to be voted
upon in November, will provide
funds for highways, bridges and
ferries, benefitting both the tour
ist and industrial programs, the
Commissioner said.
Meanwhile, the state’s primary
election on August 9 will see the
future site of Alaska’s capitol de
cided. Juneau will remain the
capitol at least until 1965 and re
gardess of the uncertainty of the
issue is proceeding with an ex
tensive new housing program.
Besides being concerned with
the outcome of the capitol issue,
Juneau is deeply interested in
studies being conducted by the
Georgia-Pacific C o r p. looking
toward a large plywood, pulp and
paper operation in the Juneau
Douglas area, Romick said.
Romick was luncheon guest of
the Alaska Division of the Se
attle Chamber of Commerce.

Tokyo Leftists
Threaten Airport
Sit-Down Protest
TOKYO, UP — Radical students
yesterday threatened a sit-down
strike on the runways of Tokyo’s
International Airport June 19 in
an effort to block the arrival of
President Eisenhower for a four
day state visit.
A spokesman for a pro-Com
munist faction of the Zengakuren
Student Federation said the run
way sit-down might be employed
“depending on the circumstances.”
Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi
discussed the students’ threat at a
meeting with the National Public
Safety and army directors and the
Labor Minister. A spokesman said
“strong action” would foe taken if
necessary, including barring all
traffic from the airport before
the President’s arrival.
Kishi and Foreign Minister
Aiichiro Fujiyama again adam
antly rejected demands from the
Socialist and Communist parties,
the leftist students and leftist la
bor unions that Eisenhower’s visit
be cancelled or postponed as an
expression of Japanese opposition
to the new U. S.-Japan military
security treaty.
“I have no intention of chang
ing the schedule of the Presi
dent’s visit,” Kishi reportedly told
a cabinet meeting.
