The wind was blowing so hard they couldn't use parachutes, Swanton continued, and when they dropped that stuff from 1000 feet it just blew up and splattered all over the place. We needed the tent they dropped us like anything, but the darn tent stakes ended up like toothpicks and there isn't any wood in that country for a hundred miles"
 More Supplies Dropped
 Another ship arrived that same day, piloted by Pat Bliss of the Arctic Circle Exploration Company, and dropped more supplies with better results, except for the near loss of two sleeping bags, when boxes of matches wrapped within became ignited on hitting the ground.
 That was the day on which the incident took place which would have stumped Hollywood script writers With no tent the three Arctic citizens in the Land of the Igloo" got into an argument on how to build snow house
 Getting Punchy
 That would give some people in the States a laugh Swanton said, but by golly We had to try to re- member what we'd read in our school books about these so-called Eskimo igloos. What we built sure wasn't pretty. The other fellows did most of the work while I staked out landing field We were getting kind of 'punchy' and fighting about whether to walk out or wait for help. When I came back from the field I'd laid out and started to laugh at that snow house, they pretty near killed me. They were sure insulted"

 Ferguson, completely enthusiastic over Kobuk River jade, of which he has known for 20 years, but paid little attention to until sur- veys of the deposits were made this summer by Eskil Anderson of the Territorial Department of Mines, jubilantly says With that new Waco we san make more money flying out jade at three dollars a pound to Fairbanks than we can hauling passengers.
 Ferguson will return via Juneau and Swanton will fly the new ship to Kotzebue, by way of the Interior.
 On Swanton's shopping list for his trip to the States is "one good suit of heavy underwear" E
 Everybody told me I was a sucker for wearing summer under wear" Swanton said, adding "I think they've got something!"

CONFIRMATION BILL GOES ON 10
 LOWER HOUSE
Senate Passes Measure Today by Unanimous
 Vote

Without dissenting vote, the AL aska Senate this forenoon passed Senate Bill No. 2, widening the base of the Territorial Compensa- tion Act. Following signing of the measure by President Edward D. Coffey, the bill was transmitted to the House, still in it's original form.
 Following brief remarks in sup port of the measure by Senator Joe Green, the bills author, Sem ator Allen Shattuck raised one new point for discussion before the bill was adopted.
 Senator Green declared the re- suit of passage of his bill would be to bring within scope of the Act an additional I'll per cent of the territory's workers, and that most resident workers would be included within that group, while heretofore, mainly large employers of non- resident labor had been those covered by the act.
 Senator Shattuck asked as to the sufficiency of the present fund for payment of benefits, whether it would be adequate to cover the additional group of employees to be brought within the Act in case of widespread unemployment, and whether it would not be advisable to augment the fund by provided for collection of a proportionate contribution from employees them selves?
 R. E. Sheldon, Territorial Di- rector of Unemployment Compensa- tion, was called to answer Senator Shattuck's queries. He replied to the effect that the Commission considered the present fund sound and solvent, that it should be ade- quate to cover the additional em- ployees to be brought under its benefits by Senate Bill No. 2; mainly by virtue of the fact that a large proportion of those non- resident workers on whom contri- buttons have been paid in to the fund have since left the Territory and that after they have been gone for Is months they will have no claims against the Alaska fund, but instead must bring their claims against the States in which they have since been employed.
 Regarding contributions from the employees to support the fund, Mir Sheldon said he considered that a question could well be passed by the the present, until experience under the new conditions to be created by the bill-- may have brought about a need for them Perhaps that should be brought up "in maybe a couple of years he said.
 Senator N R. Walker stated that though he had wished that the bill might have been amended ac- cording to his suggestion, he in- tended to support it as is, and called for the question. The bill was passed unanimously.
