FAIRBANKS STRIKE OVER FAIRBANKS, Alaska, June 5— (A—Members of the AFL Electrical Workers Union were back at work today on two of six gold mining operations and the city’s power plant was to be in operation by noon.

ALASKA MOTHER DIES SUDDENLY FAIRBANKS, Alaska, June 5—(® —Pioneer Mrs. Agnes Potts Hering, 75, Alaska's “outstanding mother,” died in St. Joseph’s Hospital Sat- urday. She was stricken Friddy with a sudden heart attack. Mrs. Hering, mother of nine chil- dren, was named the Territory's outstanding mother by a mother’s committee of the Golden Rule Foundation earlier this year. She was born August 7, 1874 in Ballybay, County Monoghan, Ire- land. She came to Alaska in 1889 with her husband to become one of the early pioneering families of the far north. The Herings engaged in minMhg ventures in Dawson and Doniin- fon Creek in 1906. ‘ Among survivors are a son, George Edward Hering, Davenport, Wash., four daughters and three sons in Fairbanks. Her youngest son, Lt. Cmdr. Walter Hering, was killed aboard the U. 8. . Hazel- wood off Okinawa. HOFFMAN CALLED HOME BY FATHER'S ILLNEsS Called home suddenly by the ser- ious illness of his father, David Hoffman, well-known mining engi- neer and heavy equipment repre- sentative for many years in Alaska, Fergus Hoffman, special writer for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, took off late yesterday on the delayed Pan American flight to Seattle. Young Hoffman had come nortr on the Coast Guard cutter North- wind to go into the Arctic region: with the ship. His father spent many years in the Territory, but of recent year: has lived in Seattle. The Washington Merry - Go- Round Bv DREW PEARSON t, 1950, Dy Bell Syndicate, Inc.) 'ASHINGTON .— Congressmenr are beginning to change their minds about voting income-tax for- giveness to tax defrauders whcl come in to the treasury and fess up. P Such a tax-forgiveness proposal was voted by the House Ways and Means Committee the other day at the urging of Congressman ,)Wauex Lynch, New York City Democrat. However, some consider it sig- nificant that Congressman &Lynch has the backing of Joe Nunan, ex- commissioner of Internal Revenue now handling a lucrative income- tax-law business; and that Nunan in turn has been representing Frankie Costello. Regardless of who was behind the tax-forgiveness bill, however, it is now recognized that this would chiefly benefit such big racketeers as Frankie Costello. In fact, some of the big gangsters are said to be praying that such an income- tax-forgiveness bill will pass. For that is about the only way the Federal government can catch up with them. Realizing this, several Congress- men are now changing their votes, the Whisperer, because of his bel- lowing as “tail twister” Williams is the attorney general of Alaska. He will succeed Val Poor of Doug- las as President, after the installa- tion banguet June 24. Originally, the slate for President included Williams, Clarence War- field and Harry Sperling but, at Sperling’s request, his name was re- moved. Sperling suffered a stroke last week and is in St. Ann’s hos- pital. He also has planned a two- month motor trip through the United States, so would not be able to serve until fall. Lions elected these other officers today: Carl Rusher, Al Ransome and Oscar Eliasen, first, second and third vice-presidents, respectively; Wes Overby, secretary, Al Boutin, treasurer; Peter Wood,. tail twister; Ham Hamilton, lion tamer, and Dr. Joseph O. Rude, and Arthur Hedges, to the board of directors. Eligible for membership in a “De- feated Candidates’ Club” are War- field, Martin Holm, Don McMullin, the Rev. A. B. Morgan, Warren Houston, Bob Faulkner, Bill Feero, Andy ‘Robinson, George Rogers, Bob Scott and Reinhold Brust. President Poor asked Lions to make reservations with Alva Black- erby for the installation banquet June 24, which will be a family night program. There will be no noon meeting June 26. Lions voted to accept the invita- tion of the Women of the Moose to Jjoin that group in sponsoring Car- men Mantyla in the Fourth ot July queen contest. Miss Mantayla was the Lions’ candidates last year. Supporting the action of the board, Lions voted to sponsor three performances and possibly a fourth—by Michael Cain, “magician extraordinary” whose appearances have been sponsored by Lions clubs in the Interior and in the states. The scheduled shows will be July 11, 12 and 13. Bob Scott and his Fourth of July committee will sell first-night tickets at the Lions’ con- cession during the Independence Day weekend. Ham Hamilton reported on the condition of the Douglas Com- munity Beach, a Lion-sponsored project. -The preparatory clearing has been done, but Hamilton said that much work is still needed, ana urged fellow-Lions to help. Carl Rusher is to make mechani- cal repairs on the slide, with assist- ants of his own choosing; Larry Wilcox is to measure for teeter tot- ters and have them made; George Megrath is to arrange for the burn- ing of trash or its removal, and Hamilton undertook the work at she rest shelters. He said the beach was crowded yesterday. President Poor told Lions of re- ceiving a letter from the Juneau Memorial Library Committee thank- ing theé club for fulfilling the lib- rary pledge. The Rev. P. Gordon Gould, direc- tor of Methodist Church work in Alaska, was a guest and spoke briefly about the proposed college for Alaska. He expressed apprecia- tion for thé general interest chroughout the Territory, and said that 12 communities have offered sites. Early in the meeting, Miss Judy Green urged Lions to sponsor a candidate for the Fourth of July celebration. Miss Green is chairman of the queehs’ ‘contest. FBI CATCHES MA WANTED IN ALASKA SEATTLE, June 5—{M—Lester Charles Edwards, 41, has been ar- rested in Portland after a two-year manhunt by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, J. B. Wilcox said to- day. ‘Wilcox; special agent here for the FBI, said Edwards was to have appeared as a material witness in the murder trial of Harry Weisle- man of Fairbanks, Alaska. He accepted $150 for transporta- tion and disappeared, the agent said. Edwards was on parole from McNeil Island penitentiary at the time. He had served a sentence on an Alaska conviction of polygamy.

Loveland, former Under Secretary of Agriculture, is the standard bearer in the Democratic primary for the Brannan farm plan. This is the controversial proposal by Secretary of Agriculture ‘Bran- nan’ to give farmers government production payments on perishable crops permitted to find their own market level without price supports. President Truman plugged for the plan in his recent western whistle-stop tour. If Loveland wins the nomination, politicians are betting that the President steps up his campaign for the Brannan plan. If the former federal official doesn’t do so well, less may be heard of the issue, which has split the Democrats in some areas. 45-DAY SENTENCE Justices Jackson and Clark took no part in either. The government sued for <¢ne multimillion-dollar gulf coast oil prize after winning a similar suit in 1947 for “full dominion and power” over California’s tidelanis. Douglas said the decision in the California“ case controls the gov-! ernment’s suit against Louisiana. He wrote: “We have carefully considered the extended and able argument of Louisiana in all its aspects, and have found no reason why Louis- iana stands on a better footing than California so far as the three- mile seaward belt is concerned.” PRINCESS LOUISE BRINGS 29 HERE, TAKES 14 NORTH Fourteen passengers boarded the Princess Louise when she sailed for Skagway at 11:30 p.m. Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Brown, who had been married here that evening, were given a great send-off. There had been a similar festive throwing of rice and confetti when the Louise docked at 3:30 p.m. Friends went to the boat to see Bill Carlson and his bride, who were married in the states. Carlson is assistant dis- patcher for the White Pass and Yukon Railway in Skagway. Martha and Bobby Dilg, also Richard Ramsey, were passengers to Skagway to spend the summer. Three Juneau career girls—Elinor Menter, Alice Riley and Ethel Fin- layson—boarded the Louise for the round trip. Herbert Hilscher joined his wife and year-old daughter, who had made the trip from Seattle. Their car was on board, the family was to drive to Falfbanks, where fe commisIORE they live.

Adrian Joe, native resident of Juneau, was sentenced to 45 days in Fe¥eral jail this afternoon by U. S. Commissioner Gordon Gray, after pleading guilty to stealing a small radio belonging to Chester Drake from a house owned by Peter Wood, Juneau real estate agent, near the Small Boat Harbor. The radio was reported missing Friday. The day previous, Joe had been employed by Wood to clean up the premises. In the house was the radio and other articles. En- trance had been made by forcus, a door. Deputy Marshal Walter G. Hel- lan found Joe's living quarters and heard a radio playing upon nearing the room. He recognized the le- vice from descriptions given him by Drake. Joe was charged wih petit larceny, and entered a rlea of guilty Friday afternoon before her first Alaska cruise of the 1950 season. Among the passengers is a delegaticn of 100 Rotarians and their wivaes from Waverly, N.Y.
