Portland-Alaska Lines To Lose Certificates Portland (U.R) A. G. Woodley, president of Pacific Northern Airlines, said late yes terday the Civil Aeronautics board has voted to eliminate the temporary certificates of two airlines serving Alaska from Portland. Woodley said a decision by the CAB made earlier this month means that both the flights of his firm's aircraft and SPORTS those of Alaska would be halted if President Eisenhower accept ed the board's current recom mendation. Woodley asked support of the Chamber of Commerce and oth er organized groups to protest the action which would give Seattle a monopoly on air trade with Alaska. He said there was some hope the decision may have been "leaked" as a "trial balloon" and still could be reversed. Ed Furgol Gets B.

INC, BOSTON CKicago Tidal Wave Fails To SKow Up; Prophet To Make No More Predictions Chicago (U.R) Dr. Charles Laughead, whose predicted tidal wave didn't show up, clos ed up shop as a prophet today and went looking for a job. Laughead credited an 11th hour reprieve by the "general" in outer space with saving Chi cago from the tidal wave that was supposed to engulf it yester day. He said he would have "nothing specific" to forecast henceforth. To Look for Job The 44-year-old physician, who was fired from his job at Michigan State College because of his gloomy predictions, said he would spend Christmas with his family at East Lansing, Mich. ' Then, he said, he will start looking for a new job, but he wasn't worried about finding one.' " "I feel bigger things are in store for me," Laughead said. "I'm not worried about a job." Laughead ' was reluctant to claim that the earthquake that hit California yesterday con firmed his forecast of "cataoyls mic" events to accompany the Chicago tidal wave. - However, Mrs. Dorothy Mar tin, who claims to be in contact with other-world informants, said she had been told that "seis matic disturbance's would ac company world wide destruc tion' Not Given Authority Mrs. Martin, in whose home Laughhead has been a guest since his buster by Michigan State, said the West Coast earth quake "bore out" her prediction. She said she would like to re veal more but that the prophets "have not given me authority to do so I must abide by their de cision." 'Laughead insisted that there had been-no mistake in his and Mrs. Martin's forecast of a tidal wave and earthquakes. "There was no error on her part," he said. "She got the mes sages right. It was just that the general you may call him a god changed strategy at :the last moment." Dead line for Sunday Classified Is at noon Saturday.
