Show lonaos mans paradise, Alaska, since the building of the Alyeska Pipeline, has be- a land of runaway crime and union violence. come Peopled by pimps and prostitutes, Mafia fig- ures and their associates, Alaska's largest cities have developed into the criminal centers of the Far North. In Fairbanks, for example, prostitution is up 50006, assaults on police up 500, robberies up 160, drug offenses up 171, drunkenness up 4216. Fairbanks police say that they just don't have sufficient manpower to control gambling, prosti- tution and drunkenness. Teamsters Union, according to veteran Alaskan The journalists, is now controlling the state. In Anchorage, the state's largest city, the police are members of the Teamsters Union. Boss of the Teamsters is Jess Carr, was indicted some years ago by a federal grand jury in Anchorage on charges of embezzlement and extortion and several who other counts. Carr, who receives $75,000 a year, was acquitted on four counts. Two others were subsequently dropped when the government's chief witness was found in "no physical condition to at trial." testify sounds It incredible, but, according to Carr, employers in Alaska will soon be paying an estimated $500,000 a day into the Teamster trust funds or the equal of $3 an hour for every Teamster working in Alaska. How the Teamster trust funds are invested in Las Vegas, Rancho La Costa and other resorts is well to crime investigators. According to Carr, however, the Alaskan known Teamsters pension fund is invested only in Alaska and administered by re- spectable Alaskan banks. Since the Alaskan Teamsters will shortly have almost $100 million in pension funds, it is obvious that the Teamsters will exert great influence over Alaska's banks and, no doubt, politics. mo If Gerald Ford decides not to mm for the Presidency or should he be nominated and defeated in the Presidential race, he will probably retire from politics. In that event he will receive a government pension of about $90,000 a year. That sum almost is based on PETER STANSWOOD years of federal service. Ford served 3 years and 11 months in the U.S. Navy, another 24 years and 11 months in the House of Representatives, and 8 months as Vice President of the U.S. all 31 of which is worth about $30,000 a year in pension money. a former U.S. President, Ford will be eAs ntitled to a pension of $60,000 annually not including the $100,000 or more he will receive in transitional salaries and expenses. cooes rtnciCT r.lY$TBlYO:lt bizarre sex-mur- my- der steries in the history of Great Britain has been unraveled.

Navy city mouth, 65 miles south of London. Having few clues and unable to determine any motive for the murder, detectives began questioning as many residents of Portsmouth as they could. In four years they talked to more than 10,000 persons and took depositions from 2000 women. What they came up with was virtually a Kinsey Report of Portsmouth, a seaport which for cen- turies has been a base for the Royal Navy. They learned how many Navy wives spend their spare time while their husbands are at sea. In short, they play musical beds, hopping from one to another. The detectives discov ered, for example, that a group of appliance mechanics was brought into Portsmouth some time ago to convert domestic appliances from coal gas to natural gas. In the course of these conversions, dozens of the workmen ended up in the bedrooms of housewives whose husbands were on sea duty. One of these workmen was Ken Fromant, 43. one of 16 men He was Peter Stanswood' s wife. Heather, had affairs with. When Peter Stanswood was mu- his widow received insurance benefits of approximately $50,000. Did Mrs. Stanswood get her lover to kill her husband for the insurance money? It turns out that rdered, Mrs. Stanswood s best friend, Liz Thompson, had become the mistress of Ken Fromant and got him to murder Peter Stanswood. The judge sentenced Liz Thompson and Ken Fromant to life in prison, but the judge conceded that it was unlikely the court had been told the entire truth of the murder. Portsmouth, it seems, makes Peyton Place appear a quiet, sedate, puritanical village. Those British housewives really live it up. Many of them major, as the British detectives described it, in "sexual adventures." 5 |
