Washington State
Educator Wins
$10 000 Suit
WALLA WALLA, Wash., UP —
A Supreme Court jury decided
last night that Mrs. Pearl A.
Wanamaker, former state super
intendent of public instruction,
suffered $10,000 damage in a
newscast over radio station KUJ
Jan. 6, 1956.
The 12-man jury awarded Mrs.
Wanamaker that amount for re
marks made by commentator
Fulton Lewis Jr. She had sued
for $175,000.
The suit against KUJ was one
of a series brought by the onetime
head of the state school system
over the Lewis broadcast. She
contended she was libeled and
her reputation irreparably dam
aged by a mistake Lewis made in
identities, his reference to her
role in the 1955 White House
Conference on Education and his
statement she appeared “to be
soft on anti-anticommunists.”
The network commentator ad
mitted publicly he had erred in
confusing Mrs. Wanamaker with
Mrs. Margaret Jean Schudda
kopf. former Tacoma school coun
selor who had refused to answer
questions about Communism at
a House Un-American Activities
Subcommittee hearing in Seattle.
During final arguments, Mrs.
Wanamaker’s attorney hammered
hard at the contention Lewis’
apology and admission of error
did not touch “on the real libel”
the lawyer said was contained in
other parts of the broadcast.
Defense attorneys indicated
they would file an appeal.
Superior judge Albert N. Brad
ford had ruled the Lewis broad
cast was in itself libelous and the
jury must determine whether
Mrs. Wanamaker had been dam
aged and, if so, how much.
The suit was the second tried
in connection with the news
cast. The Federal Court jury
deadlocked in a Baltimore trial
earlier this year on Mrs. Wana
maker’s $500,000 damage claim
against three Maryland radio
stations.

REINDEER MAN IN TOWN
Johnnie Kakaruk of the Igloo
and Teller Kakaruk reindeer herd
is in town for a few days on
business. He says that fawning is
in progress at his herd and that
though the weather has been very
cold for this time of year, indica
tions point to a good increase.
He said that while he intended
to butcher some deer at the end
of Highway 97 last September,
he was unable to do so. This
year, he said, he intends to make
a special effort to butcher some
time in the fall, before the freeze
up so that Nome may get a chance
to try range-butchered deer.

Airplane Involved
In Hit And Skip
Accident With Steer
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Iff) — A hit
skip accident took on a new twist
just north of here Friday—an
airplane swooped down and
knocked over a steer.
Sheriff’s Deputy Bob Connor
said six persons saw the incident,
but none of them got the license
of the plane.
The witnesses said the single
engine plane came low over a
farm after nearly hitting a house.
It suddenly dipped down where
five steers were grazing, hitting
and knocking one over on its
back..
* Several persons helped the
startled animal back onto its
feet and the steer, a little wobbly,
resumed grazing.
The State Highway Patrol and
the Civil Aeronautics Board are
investigating the accident.

WE WILL BUILD NOME WITH YOU
SEATTLE - FAIRBANKS - NOME SERVICE
Beginning May 1st, Nome will be receiving belter service
than ever before. Better in that Nome will have five direct
