Canada Reveals Term!

BY the Assoeioied Press

OTTAWA, Nov. Canada Of

foundland into the Federal union on
terms described by Prime Minister
w. L. Mackenzie King as "the best
possible under the circumstances
The prime minister emphasized
that no change in the terms, re-
leased simultaneously here and in
St. Johns, could be contemplated
which would impose further finan-
cial burdens" on the dominion. He
said the final decision on acceptance
or rejection of the terms would have
to be made by the islands population
of $4,000.
Newfoundland voluntarily re-
linquished its status as a self-govern-

U. S. Intends to Free Land
Along the Alaskan HIGHWAY

WASHINGTON.-The interior de-
partment is preparing to open land
along the Alaskan highway to set
tlement.
The war department has relin-
pushed the strip of land through
Alaska upon which it built the road,
thus returning the land to interior
department jurisdiction.
Assistant Secretary of the Interior
Warne said the department is work.
ing on plans for establishment of
communities along the road, which
now is so thinly settled as to be I'M
suitable for tourist use.
The army withdrew from public
use a land route 20 miles wide upon
which to build the road.
Later the width of the strip was
reduced to five miles. The most
recent action returns all of the land
to the interior department.
The interior department is expect
ed to make attractive sites in Alas
ka available to builders of hotels,
stores, garages and other proper
ties.
The road extends for 1870 miles
from Dawson Creek, B. c., to Fair
banks, Alaska.

WHIP OF PROGRESS

Most of us think that the "boomtown" days of the oil in
dustry ended many years ago, and that the industry can now
take it easy and supply the pubics needs with it's present
facilities.
The truth is that oil is engaged in a tremendous and dra-
matte race to bring output up to the enormous civilian demand
that came after the war.
The biologists and widcatters are searching for new oil
reserves in every corner of this country-and in a long list of
ias can be bought, they are sinking new wells and charging
their refineres. The laboratory technicians are seeking new
methods of getting more oil products out of each barrel of crude,
and for producing oil from sources which so far have been I'M
touched. Never in history was so much oil needed as now
and never in history was so much knowledge, money and sheer
drive given to producing it.
Competition within the industry is extremely keen, both
in obtaining supplies of crude and in seeking public favor with
ready-to-use oil products. That in itself is the best guarantee
that the demand will be met with a minimum of shortages
and that the price charged will be as low as current costs allow.
Oil isn't standing still. The whip of progress is keeping it on
the run.

Tells Of Huge
Research Base
Navy Has California Plant
For Development Of New
War Weapons.

NYOKERN, CALIF.-One Of the
frs. targets an enemy power plan
ming to A-bomb the United States
might select would be the naval re-
search center at Inyokern for devel-
opment of new naval weapons.
This is not a military secret. Any
potentially hostile nation knows the
Importance of this experimental
station in development of new
weapons. Strangely enough, most
Americans who know of it think of
it mainly as a place where the navy
tests rockets.
Capt. James B. Sykes, command
ing officer of the research center,
doesn't believe this is good psychol-
ogy. AS a result, he has disclosed
for the first time the full scheme of
operations at Inyokern.
Public Now May Know.
During the war a high classii-
cation of secrecy was necessary"
says Captain Sykes. "But the war is
over. The public is entitled to know
as much as we can tell them about
Inyokern-without violating the Sc
crecy necessarily shrouding some
Of projects"
The installation already has cost
more than 100 million dollars, and
has a payroll Of more than one mil
lion dollars a month.
About the size of the state Of
Rhode Island, the station covers
more than 1000. square miles.
Nearly $4,000 persons, naval and
civilian workers and their families,
live on the base.
Several others have to live in
trailer areas outside the station be-
cause of an acute housing shortage.
A good-sized city has sprung up
among the cactus and sagebrush Is
miles off the highway, since 1913.
Cover Many Things.
Rocket research is only a part of
the stations work. Here also are
developed:
New and secret high-power explo-
sives for warheads.
Radio electronic systems for con
trolling the projection from aircraft
of rockets, bombs, gun projectiles
and torpedoes. This is the key to
aerial warfare of the future. Ex-
actly what is being done cannot be
told, but several hundred sci
entists, including some of the
worlds best, either live on the base
or work in close association.
Guided missiles. Captain Sykes
says, "We are developing weapons
potentially far superior to the Ger
man w bomb. Eventually our new
ram-jet should have better control
and carry a heavier payload."
The Ram-jet's advantage is in its
to ram air through its nose
under compression, thus eliminat-
ing the necessity of carrying oxy-
gen inside the weapon, as in the
w.
"The principle of the w." says
Captain Sykes, "is as stupid as the
idea of a transcontinental bus load
up at the start with all the fuel
necessary for the entire trip"
