EXPLORATION FOR OIL TN ALASKA

The Navy Department believes that evidence so far found in con- nection with their exploration for oil in the Barrow, Alaska, reserve warrants continuation of this pro- jcct on a civilian contract basis, according to information given Delegate Bartlett by John L. Sul- livan, Acting Secretary of the Navy.
 Since the spring of 1914 naval officers and enlisted men have been on the reserve to determine whether enough oil existed in commercial quantities. Now that the war is over and most of the experienced naval men will be re- leased from service, qualified per- sonnel from the petroleum indus try will have to be called upon for continuation of the work. All geo. logical work will be undertaken by the Geological Survey, and a contract will be negotiated with a contractor from the oil industry to undertake the geophysical work as well as the drilling of the wells and maintenance of all facilities and equipment. The Navy will contribute all supplies and equip ment now on the reserve and pro- vide air and water transportation

ALASKA MARINE RATE HEARINGS

Although officials of the Mari time Commission insisted that the Alaska marine rate hearing be held in Seattle on November 27, they have agreed to Delegate Bartletts request that further hearings be conducted in Alaska and in Washington, D. C.
 In a conference with Admiral Land, Chairman of the Maritime Commission. Delegate Bartlett urged that the hearings be post poned until all individuals and territorial and federal agencies would have time to compile data for presentation at any hearing, Admiral Land assured Delegate Bartlett that the hearing on No vember 27 would be entirely pre- liminary in nature.
 In line with his belief that the government should SubSidize the Alaska service if passenger and freight rates are increased, Dele gate Bartlett has introduced bill in the House giving The Alaska Railroad authority to operate steamships in the Alaska trade. In long speech on the floor of the House the day he introduced the measure, Delegate Bartlett said, in part, "I do so with some degree of reluctance. By and large I am not in favor of extending govern ment operations to a field previ- ously and traditionally served by private capital. In this case how ever, it seems not only desirable but highly essential. Alaska is now threatened by an increase in the already high and almost intoler- able rates which are charged for both freight and passenger traf- fife. If these increases are allowed, or if any increases at all are al- lowed, the result will be economic

death for Alaska"
 The terms of the bill provide that The Alaska Railroad would engage in the business of operat- ing oceangoing vessels between Alaska and the States, as well as within the Territory, including the right to purchase or otherwise ac- quire vessels, and to repair and maintain them. The Alaska Rail road would operate the vessels di- rectly or by contract with any in dividual, company, firm or cor pOratiOn under Q schedule of rates, terms and conditions as the government, acting through it's agency The Alaska Railroad, would deem proper and necessary.
 This measure has been referred to the House Committee on Terri tories for action.

ALASKA SERVICEMEN

Following an increasing number of complaints from Alaskans now in the army as to the manner of their discharge, Delgeate Bartlett has urged the Adjutant General to take steps to improve separation procedure.
 Delegate Bartlett has requested that the local post commander in the States be directed to deal di- rectly with the Alaskan Depart ment and thereby facilitate dis charge of men eligible for separa- tion, rather than awaiting instruc- tions from the Adjutant General, which takes, in many cases, from three to eight weeks.
 Delegate Bartlett has also urged that military aircraft be utilized in carrying men from the Seattle Port of Embarkation to their sep aration centers in Alaska, when available, to save time in the sep aration process and to save money because the Army is required to pay for every man shipped north from Seattle by steamship.

OPPORTUNITY IN ALASKA
(DailY Alaska Empire)


 George Sundborg, former Juneau resident and one time member of The Empire staff has written book on Alaska which even with in contradictions IS one or the best in recent years Facts concerning the Territory gained during his research work an economist for the National Resources Planning Board well presented along with some opinions that many AlaskanS won | like.
 Alaska he contends, is the least taxed political entity under the American Flag and our governmental serV- ices "WhOly inadequate While the writer fails to produce facts support this contention, he does intro duce from time to time facts which would tend to prove that he is wrong. These include:
 'he willingness of Alaska to bear the cost of good school system is indicated by the expenditure per pupil in average daily attendance ranging from $141 to $l96 in the 1940 year, as compared with a United States average of $1O5" The Alaska figure would be higher due to increase in teachers salaries.
 Aaskas availabe medical and hospital services are remarkably good" says Sundborg.
 The Alaska Territorial Department of Health carries on comprehensive program of public health and med ical services, says the author.
 Tn general the health of Alaskans not so bad as is sometimes represented" he continues
 "The average monthly old-age-assistance payment in Alaska in 1941 amounted to $2917, in contrast to the United States average of $2126 Sundborg reports In 1943 this figure for Alaska $30O2 and it has become increasingly higher.
 Alaska provides Pioneers Home for aged and needy residents he states The establishment of this home an act of the First Territorial Legislature in 1915.
 Alaska also provides for neglected children and other needy and pays unemployment compensation benefits, he continues
 He points out also that high cost of living in Alaska eats up the income.
 But again Sundborg says that mot very much is col lected in taxes but less is returned in the way tax benefits"
 It would be interesting to see how Alaska's average per head Territorial tax compares with those of the 48 States We know that it is twice high the State of Oklahoma and believe it is probably above the national average per head for all States
 We fail to see how Sundborg lambast our made quate taxes and the time applaud the results as above national average It looks if Governor Err nest Gruenng has written than the foreword to Opportunity in Alaska"
 The factless tax discussion mars otherwise good factual book.

past.
 Exploration on the reserve at the present time, according to the
 Information given Delegate Bart lett, has been limited to the east ern third of the reserve. Tho re- connaiSsance field work is almost completed on this third and d3;a and maps are now being prepared for the use of surface geological parties next summer. Acting Sec
 retary Sullivan has stated that the
 geological work in the southern section of the area and the geo. physical investigation in the
 northern section have progressed
 satisfactorily" One structure fav- orable to the accumulation of oil has been located at Umiat Noun tain on the southeastern border and test we'll is now being drilled.
 In addition, preliminary pipe line survey has been completed for construction and use if oil is found in sufficient quantities to warrant the installation of a pipe line.
 The well at Umiat Mountain is now approximately 1900 feet deep Acting Secretary Sullivan stated. Already five separate oil bearing sands have been encoun- tered and although none proved to be of commercial value. their discovery indicates beyond ques- tion that drilling is being carried out in an Oil-bearing country"
 A principal camp was estab- lished at Point Barrow with sec Ondary camps at Umiat Mountain and Cape Simpson. Supplies and equipment, totalling approximate ly 26,000 tons have been landed at Point Barrow by ship during the last two summers. Land fields were constructed at Point Barrow, Umiat Mountain and Cape Simp- son with emergency strips mid way between Fairbanks and Point Barrow, and Point Barrow and Umiat. Plans for this winter call for the movement of additional supplies and equipment from Point Barrow to the Umiat Noun tain and Cape Simpson camps in order to complete the airfield at Umiat and to continue drilling op- sratiOns at Umiat Mountain in the spring, and to have on hand at Cape Simpson sufficient equip nent to continue the geophysical work next spring.
 Future plans call for the eXplo- ration of the remaining two sec Lions of the reserve in much the same manner as has been followed in the eastern section.

By the Way
BETH BLAlNF

This Is the second letter to be
published on this page from .
Washington boy now overseas In
the European theatersof combat.
Like the first published In yester-
days Star 1t Is exactly Ike it was
written. The author Is 40.
November II.
Dearest Nom:
BY this time you,l have prob
ably heard that we're fighting ut
Metz In Patton's Third Army.
Needless to say. we're very proud
to be with Patton-in later letters
I'll tell you a little Of what he
said to us when We joined him
several weeks ago.
But what we're really proud of
damn proud Offs our infantry.
Nom, they're fighting their heads
on, and 1t isn't easy lighting
the Germans are dug in. fortified,
and well equipped. I can't tell
you about the various battles
that will have to wait-but can
tell you about individual feats Of
heroism-not the Congressional
Medal kind-but Just of men do
ing their job. For instance. we've
got q sergeant who only laughs
when he shoots a German-he
laughed all yesterday morning.
There was mortarman who, on
the night of the initial attack,
kept at his loading job for IL
straight hours-by morning his
arm was burnt from elbow to fin
gers-the heat of the barrel.
We've got second lieutenant in
our outfit who volunteered to 60
by himself and observe fire on a
German counterattack. Then a
general and couple of colonels
who grabbed rifles and went out
as doughboys wnen another Ger
man counter got close. The cooks
and clerks fighting in the fox
notes.-the doughboys living on
one K ration a day-the wounded
lying for two days on q Stag pile
in the rain and snow, dressed
only in field jackets-simply be-
cause the Germans were snoot-
ing the litter bearers when they
went out to get EN-. And the
medics are the heroes-and
they're getting shot at-the Ger
mans recognize no code of NOR
ais. There are more stories-lots
more-but they all add up to the
fact that the doughboy is unbe-
lievable.
I know lots of those boys-you
know what they were. You re-
member the baby-faced kids in
the blue braid. Some are still
eighteen-I remember our Basic
Ones up at Westminster-the
girls looked down on them be-
cause they were so young-now
they are out there in hell with
the rest. Kids doing a mans job.
I'm lucky, Mommy, so darned
lucky. My stories have all been
second hand. We sit back here
and bite our fingernails-we can
only hope. Sure, We have the
mud, the lack of sleep, ETC., but
nobody's shooting at us-we eat
three hot meals a day, we sleep
warmly and under cover. We
can only fire when we're asked,
and there's nothing we'd rather
