Large Ice Pack May Cut Antarctic
 Expedition Short

Aboard USS. Mt. Olympus, Lit tie America, Delaye0-(P)-The threat of a sudden, heavy freeze may force the navy's Antarctic ex- petition to return home weeks earlier than originally planned.
 At present, ships in the expedi- tons central group are anchored ln the open water of the Bay of Whales at the edge of the South Polar ice cap. But to the north is the menacing Ross ice pack-big- ger than ever this year.
 In the event of a sudden freeze, extending the ice pack into the bay, the thin hulls of the Mt. Olympus, and the cargo ships Yan- cey and MerricK might be crushed.
 Admiral Richard Cruzen, task force commander, already has ex- pressed concern about such a pos sibility. He told reporters with the expedition that he and Admiral Richard Byrd, expedition leader aboard the carrier Philippine Sea north of the ice pack, have been considering an early start home. Original plans called for a stay here until early March.
 Working against time, Seabees have thrown up a tent town and an airport on the ice shelf above the Bay of Whales and near the Little America base established by previous Byrd expeditions.
 Fifty tents have been erected and the airstrip-Stretching for a mile between flag markers, has been smoothed out in the snow and ice. A ski-plane with a 53- foot Wing-span helped do it.
 Six transport planes from the carrier Philippine Sea, now 6Ov miles north, will use the strip later.

Alaskan Minerals In l946 Worth Eleven Million

UA) Special Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON, (P) - Alaska produced minerals valued at $ll,- l08,OOO in l946, the bureau ot mines says in preliminary report.
 This was an increase of g pc. cent from the production of $lO,- 2l8,OOO the preceding year.
 Gold production of the Territory rose from 68,ll7 ounces valued at $2,384 ,095 in l945 to 1922, 2,527 ounces worth $6,738, ,445, nearly a three fold increase.
 The bureau said the gain in l946 was due chiefly to the steady expansion of placer gold opera tions and to substantial increase in coal production which was en- couraged by the west coast ship ping strike.
 Non-metal minerals declined 86 per cent from l945.
 Silver output in the Territory last year was 29,058 fine ounces worth $23,479 compared with 9,983 fine ounces worth $7,099 in 1945.
 No production of copper, lead and zine was reported in l946, and also no antimony, chromite, iron, manganese, molybdenum, tin or Vanadium.
 Coal production in l946 was val ued at S2,324,OOO compared with $l,9O5,O00 for the year before. It consisted entirely of bituminous coal and totaled 37O,OOO short tons compared with 100000 short tons the year previous. The total value of non-metals consisting of sand, gravel, crushed stone, asbestos and jade compared with $4,573,OOO in l945. The decline followed com pletion of military facilities.

STREPTOMYCIN NOT CURE FORPULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS

Although streptOmycin is the most promising drug yet used in the treatment of tuberculosis, Doc tor Leo J. Gehrig, tuberculosis control conSultant with the Terri torlal Department of Health, pointed out that it cannot be con- Sidered a cure for pulmonary tu- berculoSiS.
 Commenting on the fact that streptomycin, a new drug devel- oped from soil fungus, is now available commercially, Doctor Gehrig warned that tuberculosis patients and their families should not expect miracles from the drug and should by no means forsake proved methods of treatment in the hope that streptomycin will bring a quick, complete cure.
 Our knowledge of the effec- tlveness of streptomycin in treat ing pulmonary tuberculosis in hu- man beings is far too limited to warrant too much optimism, he stated. More research is needed before final conclusions on it's value can be reached.
 Studies conducted so far indi- cate that streptomycin retards the progress of the disease in some se- lected cases, however, there is ire quently a re-OCcurrenCe of symp- toms and pathological findings af- ter the drug is discontinued.
 When streptomycin is used, it is always in conjunction with bed rest in a hospital or Sanatorium. It IS not advocated for patients who are making normal progress under proved methods of treatment
 Although the drug is now dis tributed through hospitals, the supply is limited and the drug re- mains a very expensive form of treatment, according to Doctor Gehrig, who pointed out that treatment usually lasts over a pe- rlod of four to six months. At the present time there is a very linn tied supply of the drug available in the Territory.
