Alaska's Huge Ice Knob
 Is NOu Reuealed
Region Where A'Pdnhdndle" Joins Upper Peninsula Was First to Be Discovered and One of Lost to Be Explored
 and Mapped

it's head in those attitudes. Farther inland towers Mount Logan, 19,850 feet high, the second loftiest moun- tain of North America.
 The crescent 5 coastline is made spectacular with a few large bays and a great many mammoth glac- iers against a perpetual backdrop of white-capped peaks. Formerly landmarks for ventureSome marin CTS, it's coastal features now enter tain summer travellers on estab- lished steamship routes: Icy Strait and Cross Sound, where the placid Inside Passage empties its traffic into the sea lanes of the Gulf of Alaska; Yakutat Bay, the only spot where man has a firm foothold in this area; Malaspina Glacier, a veritable lake of ice fed by a dozen glaciers, the most extensive outside the polar regions; Icy Bay, which vanishes and reappears to the be- wilderment of navigators; and Ber- ing Glacier, a single ice giant sur passed in size only by the compos- ite ice mass of it's neighbor the Malaspina.
 Knowledge of the area, however, progressed no farther inland than the eye could see from the coast. with few notable exceptions, until the airplane gave wings and speed to exploration. The discoveries of the Harvard University National Geographic Society Alaska Expedi- tion, which circled Mounts Logan and St. Elias in the air and photo graphed previously unseen ridges, explain why. Most of the region is sheathed in living ice, from which project the two- and three-mile high peaks of barren rock ridges Abundant rainfall, which supports dense vegetation even farther north in the Matanuska River valley, here is frozen into huge masses.
 Birthplace of Glaciers
 The expedition led by MT. Wash burn reveals the presence of a giant ice field blanketing the area, filling great valleys at an altitude of 5000 to 1000 feet, gouging open ings between the shoulders of lofty peaks and pushing slowly down. ward in all directions through glaciers which grip the region in a paralysis by ice.
 The newly photographed Chug- ach-St. Elias ice blanket spreads it's white solitude almost unbroken from the Miles Glacier, which thrusts an icy tongue into the canyon of the Copper River, to the valley of the Alsek River, approximately 235 miles eastward. It spills over the rim of the coastal range and sends ice seaward in the Hubbard Glacier, which in turn plops icebergs into Yakutat Bay; in the huge Seward Glacier, largest tributary of the vast Malasplna; and in the gigantic Bering Glacier

 Alaska, for seventy years, has challenged the curiosity and pio- neering spirit of it's foster mother land, the United States. Gold and muskeg, oversize strawberries and partial starvation have fitted into the same picture.
 A tentative etching of shoreline was the best portrait of Stewards Folly" when Secretary of State Seward wheedled the infant Ter ritory from it's Russian guardians in 1867 depositing it on the north western doorstep of a somewhat reluctant Uncle Sam. The map por- trait was gradually decorated with a widening selvage of known coun- try around the coastline. Today a slightly larger percentage of the total area of Alaska has been sur veyed and mapped than of the United States.
 One area oi our largest posses sion. however, remained blank, all though explorers and settlers suc- ceeded in erasing the Unknown" label all around it. It was high land crescent. where the pan handle" joins the upper peninsula.
 Not Far from Alaska's Capital
 To the southeast of it, the raw Territory's capital prospered until Juneau came to be written in large letters across the Alaskan pan handle. To the east, railroad from Skagway penetrated inland to Whitehorse in Canada. To the west, growing population built the railroad that, from Cordova inland, skirted the untouched noun tain preserve to reach the town Of Kennecott. With a ring of life and transportation drawing closer around it, this icy wilderness still to a large extent defeated efforts to penerate it's secrets. The Harvard University National Geographic So- ciety Alaska Expedition, under the leadership of Bradford Washburn, is now returning to this country with aerial photographs, taken this summer, which will reveal the con- tours and intricate topography of the hitherto unknown fastnesses of the Chugach and St. Elias ranges.
 This was the area first sighted by Boring, thereafter acclaimed as the discoverer of Alaska It would seem the logical place to map first. Yet it has been the last large region on the southern coast to yield to exploration.
 Backdrop of White Peaks
 This little-known mountain cres- cent, paradoxically enough, con- tains some of the best known fea- lures of Alaska. Mount St. Elias, so lofty that it is visible from the coast. was the landfall of Boring in TAI, after he had sailed east ward from Russia to confirm re- ports that great continent reared

ANOTHER IOWA TEST

One man with whom we talked cited Iowa as a possible example. Iowa was predominantly Repub- lican state until 1882. It had a rowing progressive vote which had been COP so long that it was con- sidered party property. In 1882 it swung heavily to Roosevelt and again in 1886 to such degree that veteran Republican Senator, Lou is J. Dickinson, was defeated.
 This year Dickinson is opposing Senator Guy Gillette who won the
