CHANGES IN
pRI0RITIE5
ANNOUNCED
Preference Ratings in Min
ina Extended 10 Include
Prospecting Claims

Notification has been received by
b. D. Stewart, Commissioner OF
Mines, now also serving as Emer-
gency Coordination of Mine Prior
tiles for Alaska, from Wilbur A.
Nelson, Administrator of Mining
Priorities, at Washington, D. c., of
important new privileges that have
been granted to mining enterprises
by the OPM.
BY amendments to Preference
Rating Order P-56 that were eff
fective December 2, 1941 these new
privileges have been extended to
all mining enterprises to which
serial numbers have been granted
under that order Such enterprises
in Alaska now number 81 Gold
placer mining operations which fell
under Preference Rating Order P-22
are not included among those en-
titled to the ratings granted by
Order P-56
In general the amendments cover
three main points:
l. The benefits of the order are
extended to cover (a) refractory
plants; ID approved prospecting
enterprises.
2. A rating of A-l-c is granted
to enable operators to make adj
vance provision to avert actual
breakdown. 1t should be note d
that this rating may be applied
only with the advance permission
of the Director of Priorities in each
particular case.
3. A rating of A-3 is granted for
the purchase of certain machinery
and equipment listed in a schedule
that is attached to the amended
order, and of repair parts for such
machinery and equipment. AS to
such machinery or equipm mt
Though not repair parts) advance
permission must be obtained from
the Director of Priorities in each
case before applying the rating.
So far as Alaska is concerned the
most Important benefit conferred
by these amendments is the privil-
eye OF using the ratings granted
by the amended order to approved
prospecting enterprises, Stewart
said. These benefits should serve
to stimulate the search Tor and de-
velopment Of deposits of minerals,
particularly those other than gold.
The amendment does not apply
to gold placer prospects, it was
learned today.

New Navy BIimp Base
To Rush Mast for
SaIIies Against Subs
Loss Of Ships OFF
Atlantic Coast Laid to
Negligent Operators
BY CLAUDE A. MAHONEY,
Star Staff correspondent,

! ELIZABETH CITY, N. c., April
Navy officers laid plans today
to install the portable mooring mast
that will allow the new lighter
than-air station here soon to become
q base from which blimps will go
forth to join the hunt for Axis
submarines in the Atlantic.
Even as commissioning cere-
monies we're being held yesterday
for the new base, the Navy Depart
ment in Washington announced
that American armed forces in both
oceans had bagged % Axis sub
marines since the war began. Speak
ers here said the blimp patrol has
been an effective step" in COM
batting the submarine menace.
J Ship Operators Negligent"
But guests at the simple cere-
mony on the yet unfinished site
heard these somber statements:
/. Today's submarine Scoarge is
four times as bad as it was in 1918.
2. Night searches for subs is in
efficient.
3. Merchant marine operators
have been negligent by day and
careless at night" and have per-
sistently refused to go into ports
at dusk, extinguish running lights
when out after dark, or keep to the
lanes mapped out for them by naval
authorities.
4. One-half of the number of
sinkings could have been prevented
If the ships had obeyed orders, and
failure of the operators to follow
instructions is sufficient reason for
the Navy to take over merchant
shipping and operate 1t for the
duration Of the war.
Capt. Charles E. Rosendahl, long
an advocate of the use Of lighter
than-air craft in patrol and escort
work, told the gathering that today's
losses were four times those of 1918,
and called for an about anti
submarine program that will use
every weapon possible against the
Sinking undersea vessels.
Sees Blimp in Team.
Even though he has devoted his
life to airships. he said yesterday he
did not consider the blimp anything
like "cure-all" for the sub menace,
but rather one member of a team
that would engage in the hunt.
Both in his address and in informal
conferences before the ceremony, he
said modern blimp could hold its
own with a submarine on the sur
face, and was almost uncannily &C
curate in dropping its steamlined
depth bombs, due to its ability to
hover almost motionleSs above any
point and take careful aim The
machine guns carried in the blimp
cabins are more than match Tor a
submarines deck guns, he believes.
Rear Admiral M H. Simons, COM
mandant of the 5th Naval District,
delivered the indictment of mer-
chant captains.
Admiral Simons also said that,
while the Atlantic sinkings repre-
scented blow "in very vital spot"
he could honestly assert that the
Axis has paid terrible price in
both submarines and men,"
