Seattle; and enlisted men T-4

Hinton, linemen, both from Am
chitka.
Two phones are to be install
ed—the one in town at the local
Signal Corps office, and one at
the base, in Room 130 of the
Navy administration building.
The telephone service will con
nect Kodiak and Anchorage, and
Sgt. Floyd said it is expected ser
vice will be included to Fair
banks, Seward Whittier and
other Alaska points.
The connection with Seattle
will provide long distance com
munication with practically any
place that can be called from
Seattle. For instance, a call could
be placed to England; but ironic
ally, whereas someone in Kodiak
could caM England, he could not
call hi next door neighbor, a«
Kodiak still has no local tele
phone system
Announcements of the exact
date of inauguration of the ser
vice will be announced later and
don’t appb for a call now No
reservnt'oi s tor ‘ first” calls will
be taken; after the service starts
it will be first, come first served.

‘How Come’ Ad
Action Awaited
A full page advertisement m
last week’s Mirror that asked
‘‘how come” to the fact that the
Navy had signed a contract with
the E. E. Bell dairy to p«y 4
cents above the OPA price on
milk, created wide comment and
began action that is hoped local
ly will clarify the situation.
The town has been without
milk deliveries since the OPA
set the 30 cent wholesale rate.
It was learned here that inter
ested individuals sent copies of
the advertisement to Delegate
E. L. Bartlett Walter Winchell
and Drew Pearson
Other cooies went direct to the
OPA in Washington, D. C., ask
ing for a direct statement as to
what action the OPA is taking
and a determination of the regu
lation’s application to the Navy.
It is learned that the OPA in
Juneau has gotten busy on the
matter and sent wires out seek
ing information on the set-up
that indicated they are prepar
ing to take steps in the matter.
One OPA official said the OPA
office at Juneau was “surprised”
by the Navy action and another
OTA source said an investigation
h id already started to determine
if the Navy’s action in agreeing
to a higher milk price on a spec
ifically priced item was not a vi
olation The case was described
as unlike any that has come to
their attention
A reliable source said local
Navy officials were also seeking
advice from higher up since pub
lication of the advertisement
which described the Navy action
i as “black marke buying.” and
i"«rea|so trying to determme
i.eir oosition under the specific
■ rice regulation,
j Both Captain R R. Lyon*and
E. E B. ll are currently out of
| town, Captain Lyons leaving
Monday for Seattle and the
dairy owner having left a few
weeks ago on a buying trip in
I the States
16 Women See
Man Convicted
Roy C. Jewett (originally filed
as Huitt but corrected), driver
for the Tagura Transit System,
was fined $300 ard given a 6
months suspended sentence by
U. S. Commissioner G. W. Bub
endorf Thursday morning after
being found guilty of disorderly
conduct in a jury trial.
Jewett pled not guilty at his
hearing Monday through his at
torney JVill'am H. Olsen. Mr.
Olsen withdrew from the case
before th^ trial.
The charge was disorderly con
duct, based on the use of ob
scene language directed at 16
women passengers on a bus in
which Driver Jewett was also
riding as a passenger. The wo
men, employees at the base, who
all signed the complaint, were:
Ruby Farrow, Julia Wolkoff,
Colleen Heay, Duma Hartman,
Do^a Torsen, Helen Eck. Mag
nel Lar«an. Nellie Anderson, Ag
nes l.ultin, Florence Cus ing,
Laura Larsen, Tina Chichenofif,
Alice ^holl, Rose Chiche"off,
Dora Zhai off and Agnes Frump.
No women were called for the
jury and Commissioner Buben
dorf warned women spectators
on the nature of the testimony
to be given by several of the wo
men passengers and one man
who was on the bus. None of the
vomen spectators heeded the
warning, but when the testimo
ny started two left the court
room.
The jury, which took i5 min
utes to reach a verdict, consisted
of VV. A Cannon, foreman;
Maurice Gunderson, Paul Swan
son, E. A. Pearson, iom Frost,
Sr., Jess Blinn, H. H. Lander, C.
H Gundlach, Bud Metzgar, T.
A. Horsman, M. Triplett, A. J.

Town Topics
Deputy U. S. Marshal Paul
Herring returned to Kodiak this
week after court business in An
chorage and a trip to the states
that has kept him from home
since the first of the year.
After Mrs Louise Williams
Allred was sentenced to 5 years
after pleading guilty to various
Kodiak income tax embezzle
ment counts, he took her to pris
on in West Virginia and contin
ued on to Florida, Georgia and
other southern States, where he
visited his father and other rela
tives.
In Washington, D. C. he un
dertook negotiations for a new
federal jail building, to replace
the present quarters, on which
the lease expires soon
He obtained the building,
which is promised to be erected
within a year. A man will be
sent here to obtain a site.
A utility building of the CAA
at Woody Island burned Thurs
day night, April 25, with loss es-'
t.imated at over $30,000.
The fire apparently started
from an automatic oil furnace
and because of lack of fire fight
ing equipment the building could
not be saved.
The building housed laundry
facilities, a r°creation room and
a garage Many of the employes
lost clothing left in the building
for washing and dry cleaning.
Martin L Rigsby, colored
crewman on the Her,ry Failing,
died at the naval dispensaiy at
the base An il 29 at 5 am. Death
was ascribed to pneumonia
Arrangements a>e being made
to -bin the remains to Texas
where the deceased's mother
lives.
Commander Dawson, execu
tive officer at the baje, shot a
Kodiak bear rn Uyak bay last
Saturday, the animal measuring
about. 10 feet 4 inches.
With him were Lt. B. J Lo
-M- w v ■ —
e
gan and Lt. Jack Jenkins, tk«
latter also getting a bear, mea»
uring a little over 9 feet.
Fresh vegetables, 5200 pounds
of them, are due to arrive in
Kodiak today on a special char,
tered C-54 of the Alaska Airlines
flying from Seattle to Kodiak for
Kraft’s store
Marking the first such ship,
ment ever made from Seattle,
the order of “top choice’’ prod,
uce was arranged by Ben Kraft
after several day’s negotiations.
Vegetables flown to Anchorage
under similar arrangements have
been snapped up by fresh-stuff
hungry customers, although «
ruling of the OPA that air ship,
ment charges could not be added
to the selling price stymied the
plaD briefly. In a new order is
sued this week (see elsewhere in
this issue) the extra cost can be
added on such emergency ship*,
ments.
The 5200 pound minimum
shipment arranged by Kraft's is
to be flown here at 4l cents per
pound, Mr. Kraft said.
The green stuff will be put on
sale as soon as possible on arriv
al with a possibility of the gro
cery department staying open
later this evening, depending on
time of arrival of the plane.
