Hungry Horse Drilling
Is Progressing

Reports from the Hungry Horse dam
project office in Kalispell indicate that
drilling of the pre-glacia1 Abbot Gorge
has been satisfactorily concluded
Drilling of the dam-site in the canyon
of the South Fork of the Flathead
according to Project Engineer Paul
Jones, will probably start within the
next two weeks, contingent on the dis
mantling, moving and setting up of
drilling equipment.
Although the trail to the dam-site
has been completed to the extent that
trucks and station wagons can be oper-
ated to and from the dam-site, the
snow is still too deep to allow easy
access for survey crews. For the last
three months crews have been operat-
ing on snowshoes. Shortage of engi-
neering and automotive equipment,
which has been holding back opera
tions. is expected to be relieved soon.
Fifty pre-fabricated houses have been

The new law provides penalties
of up to years Imprisonment and
a $1,000 fine for compelling or at

ally need, pay money for services
not performed, pay unions for using
phonograph records, pay again for

The speeded-up rehabilitation
schedule contemplates the release OF

officers on inactive duty so their
terminal leave will have been COM
pleted by June 30, the Coast Guard
said.
AS of yesterday, points needed for
release were reduced from 80 to "a
for male enlisted personnel, except
yeomen, storekeepers and pharma-
cist's mates, whose score remained
at "a. Points needed for release OF
SPARS were reduced from 20 to 49,
with the same groups excepted and
requiring a score of % points.
After May the point scores will
be dropped and all enlisted personnel
will be eligible for release.
The drastic need for trained per-
sonnel to man ships and to operate
separation centers may keep some
reserves on duty beyond the dates
established" the service said.
1t said that since VI day it has
released more than III, 700 men and
