ALASKA FISH
PROBE NEAR;
DIM0ND
No Objection Yet 10 Legis-
ldtive Requesf-Pds
sage Likely

Strong indications that there will
be Congressional investigation of
Alaska fisheries were voiced today
in radiogram from Alaska Dele
gate Anthony j. Dimond to Terri
torial Senator Henry Roden.
The recent session of the Terri
torial Legislature sent memorial
to Congress urging such an inveSti-
cation and three House members
and two Senate members were ap-
pointed to work with the Congress
sional committee should it be ap-
pointed.
Senator Roden is the only Senate
member on the Alaska Legislative
committee since the passing of the
late Senator Joe Holman. Represen-
tatives Smith, Davis and Walker
represent the House.
The following is the text of Di-
mond's radiogram to Roden:
Il confidently expect House Reso-
luton 1852, providing for a Congress
sional Investigation of Alaska fish
cries, to be passed by the House
within ten days.
1T is not necessary that the SEN
ate pass the resolution. 1t is i'm
possible to say when the committee
will reach Alaska, because nobody
knows when Congress will adjourn,
but it seems highly probable that
Congress will not adjourn until late
in July. Therefore, the committee
will not arrive in Alaska until early
in August, and perhaps later.
Il agree that you and other mem
bers of the Joint Committee on
Fisheries should make the fullest
preparation for the investigation as
outlined in your letter.
Il will wire you when the reso-
luton passes. AS yet no one has ex-
pressed any objection to the investi-
CATION"
Roden had said earlier that hear
ingS will be held with interested
parties before the arrival of Con-
gress committee members, to de-
termine the lines along which the
investigation shall be conducted.

HOOVER LIBRARY
WILL BE HOUSED
IMMENSE TOWER
BY SAM JACKSON
AP Feature Service Writer

PALO ALTO, Cal, June 8.-Dia-
mond drills have begun exploring
for foundation to hold a lofty $780,
900 tower which will house one Of
Uncle Sans most unusual assets
the Hoover Library on War, Revo-
luton and Peace.
1t is a collection of books, PAM
phlets, posters. newspapers n d
original manuscripts gathered by
Herbert Hoover during the World
War and the tumultuous years
that followed, and later presented
to Stanford University
In time of peace the library is a
mecca for historians, who want to
learn what went on behind tn e
scenes in the great struggle.
Valuable to Propagandists
In war this arsenal of informal
ton might play a vital role in
American strategy, particularly in
the field of propaganda.

600 posters and photographs show
ing how the military spirit was
stimulated in every nation en-
gagged in the World War = hand

country and pamphlets, books and
press releases.
Scholars say its equal does not
exist in any other country.
THE library today contains more
than 100000 separate items" says
Prof. Ralph H. Lutz, in charge.
do Not Open Until"
Some of the acquisitions are
sealed, with the proviso that they
remain unopened until some future
date, presumably because their con-
tents, if published, might have dam
aged living persons. The next of
these "time-locked" cases will be
opened in 1912 and may yield some
startling secrets on European in
trigue.
Hoover. who lives on the Stan
ford campus, is director and con-
tinues to take a keen interest in
building up the library.
The library staff likes to tell of
an American scholar who planned
book on the war, went to En-
gland and settled down for a long
period of research in the library
of the Imperial war museum
When he made his wants known
the museum sent him back to the
United States-and Stanford Uni
versity.

A. INSURANCE
No man knows whether Antarctica
now has, or ever will have, any stra-
tegic or commercial value to civilized
man.
What about aviation? Will the
Antarctic ever become a CONNER
cial aerial route linking the Am
ericas and Asia, Australia, and AT
RIGA? You never know any more
And how about the military value
of that continent? Could it ever be-
come a base for military expedi-
ton against the Americas? That
brings up the Monroe doctrine.
Furthermore, what Government
official wants to become the scape-
goat of history by sleeping on Am
erican rights anywhere?
These questions suggest to gov
eminent men the desirability of an
insurance policy for future genera
tions. That insurance policy takes
the form of an expedition. DR.. Grue-
ming has estimated it will cost about
$350,000.
1t might lead to some information
al administration of the ice-capped
bottom of the world-an admins
tration that would safeguard Ameri-
can rights. Otherwise, Congress
might wake up some morning to
find a request on its hands to rec
ognize our claims to Antarctica.

petition returns :. Norway dis

putes u. S. claimsl :. U. S. to map
coaStline! -.
So runs the headline story of the
scramble for Antarctica, the last
piece of land pie ON earth. -Four TO
five million square miles of territory,
equivalent to the United States and
Mexico combined! A continent pro-
tected from prying man by an inert,
uninhabitable ice cap, two to 200
feet thickl
Why should sovereign-and pre-
SUNDAY governments work
themselves up to geographical
lather?
Cor that's just what Uncle Sam
is about to do. Congress willing, An
expedition to map coastlines starts
this year if all goes as plannedo
There is no single answer; but
there are several reasons why the
U. S. is on the verge of action IN
the Antarctic. Here they are, one
two-t three style:
1. WHALING
Immediate world interest centers
on the fate of an industry that Is
rapidly being killed off. The Ant
arctic is the last lair of these giant
mammals, whose oil is the butter"
for Europe's tables, and the soap
for our baths. Gunners predict prac-
teal extinction Of whales in five
years if restrictions against the an
nual kill now imposed by interna-
tional treaty are not frightened up.
Japan, by the way, has not yet
signed that treaty. a,.s. sfs-
Antarctic whaling is 50-million-
dollar-a-year enterprise, shared by
half dozen nations, including the
United States. Our. Government has
noted with lifted eyebrows that rival
nations have mapped Antarctica to
include the whaling areas in the
claims. Should Uncle Sam go and
do likewise?
2. WEATHER
Argentine weather observers sta
toned regularly on Laurie Island
(off South America in the South
Orkneys) are making the worlds
only clear-accurate long range fore
casts. Other meteorological data
hints that Antarctica might be the
answer to the weather mans dream
of long distance forecasting, and if
so, Uncle Sam is more than an in
terested observer.
3. INTERNATIONAL POLICY
In the absence of an act of Con-
gress, the United States has laid no
official claims to any land not ac-
tually colonized and settled by Am
erican citizens. That is true of Ant
arctica, despite claims of Explorers
Ellsworth and Byrd.
Explorers for 165 years have as
serted Antarctic claims for their
nations. Once it was customary to
sail along a bit of Antarctic coast
line, which might have been merely
an ice shelf over the ocean, and
plant a flag here and there. Many
of those explorers claimed all ter
ritory from the "coastline" to the
pole. That's why Antarctic claims
look like pieces of pie on the map.
Claims have been made for Great
Britain, the United States. Ger
many, Norway, France, and Japan.
Great Britain long ago put chunks
of territory under some territorial
governor as dependencies"
In later years, explorers in air.
planes dropped flags or written
claims and registered them with
their governments. Byrd introduced
the aerial mapping camera in, 1885.
Norways' Christensen dropped flags
