T7—®—The government harvested a lighter- than-usual crop of seal skins in Alaska’s Pribilof Islands this year. Secretary of Interior Chapman reported today that the annual har- yest from June 10 through July 27 yielded 60,090 skins, compared with 70,891 last year and a 10-year aver- age of 66,920. About 80 percent of the world’s fur seals breed in the Pribilof Is- lands. Pelts are taken chiefly from three year old males. killed this year because of “normal fiuctuations, such as occur in all wild life populations.” MARRIAGE APPLICATION Application for a wedding license was made in the Commissioner’s Court Friday by Luther Darrell Huffman and Rosemary Elizabeth Johnson.

While a brigade of Marines and two regimental combat teams of the U.S. 25th Infantry Division forged ahead of the southern fromt, there was bitter fighting elsewhere along the 140-mile defense perimeter.

On :he central front, Communist troops crossed the Naktong river by raft, barge and power boat, but were wiped out by defending units of the U.S. 24th Division. ""VARIED," SAYS ARNOLD OF SALMON SEASON TO DATE “Varied, as usual,” is W. C. Ar- nold’s report on the salmon pack o date. Judge Arnold, Alaska Salmon In- dustry manager, in Juneau today enroute to Ketchikan from the westward, said that the Bristol Bay season was better than usual There was a good season at Cook Inlet and Kodiak to date has been fair. “Only failure so far this season has been Prince William Sound,” Arnold said. “We are anticipating a good sea- son in southeast Alaska,” was his final cheerful word before taking Chapman said fewer seals Werejthe plane today for Ketchikan.

Kawamoto of Honolulu and Marge Hulton of Atlantic City, N.J, in a dead heat, set a new world record of 3:10.2 for the 200-meter breast- stroke in the senior women’s na- tional AAU swimming champion- ships. Evelyn H The plane’s 2,000 gallons of high test gasoline spilled and fires began. The bomber carried 10 to 12 five hundred pound demolition bombs. Eye-witnesses said the bombs Ue- gan to explode in 10 to 20 min- utes. Sgt. R. H, Lewis, Clay, Ky., said one dazed man- came from the plane soon after it hit, and.. . “I could hear men shout TLe’s get of here. There' are bombs on there.”” “ The blast was felt 30 miles away. Persons 65 miles distant said they saw the giant cloud of flame. But the tragedy could have been incalculably greater. It the plane had been 100 feet to the north & would have smashed into a housing area containing 200 families. If it had been a few hundred feet to the south it would have plowed into the enlisted men’s bar- racks where several hundred slept.
