each question costing up to

lying down and letting the steam ship companies have whatever the Maritime Commission lets them take away from the public. It would put the Attorney General in the position of doublecroSSing the public by letting its case be lost by default. It would also put the Attorney General in the posi- tion of pleading with Congress each year for higher steamship subsidies to support the carriers uneconomical operations on a cost-plus basis so that rates could be lowered sufficiently to encour- age Alaska'S development. Such a picture would be ludicrous, and to follow such advice would be trai- torous, especially in view of the fact that removal of discrimina- tion against Alaska under the Jones Act would enable the Terri tory to get along without sub sidy. Then if the carriers needed higher subsidies to stay in com petition with foreign ships, they could fight the Congressional ap- propriations battle each year on their own behalf, while the Terri tory went ahead in the world"

U. s. Hockey
 Teams Banned From Olympics

ST. NORTH, Switzerland, P) Dr. Alebrt Mayer, member of the international Olympic committee and the Swiss organizing commit tee, announced yesterday that the LOG. voted 16 to 10 to ban both U. s. hockey teams from the win ter Olympics and added that the Swiss would reject the decision.
 Mayer made the statement to an Associated Press reporter as he left a meeting of the international committee at which he said the vote was taken.
 The executive board of the in- ternational committee had ordered the banning of both teams We'd nesday in a decision which the Swiss also rejected. Swiss officials in charge of the games accepted the entry of the amateur hockey association as the official United States representative, resulting in bitter protest by the U. S. Olym- pic committee, which has entered team of its own.

Petition recently filed by the Attorney General (which does not call for another steamship inves- tigation because it is a mere fol- low-up on the recent Seattle hear ing) asks for cancellation of the present contract because of breach es thereof, and institution of new arrangements. The commission well knows after just hearing Alaska Transportation compa n y charges against Alaska Steam Northland, in which case the At torney General backed up Alaska Transportation company, that new arrangements could consist of consolidation of jointly owned Alaska Steam-Northland for elim- ination of one overhead, and real. location of ships on that basis vii permission to Alaska Transporta- ton company to compete all the way to the Westward.

Exercise Yukon" Teaches Army
 Many Arctic Facts

BIG DELTA, (P)-Training in Alaska has dispelled the "fear of the Arctic" in the mind of the av- craze soldier, Brig. Gen. Henry J. D. Meyer, second division artill- cry commander, told 250 men of Exercise Yukon on their return here Monday after a five-day problem at Galena, 300 miles east.
 The general and men returned here in C-82 Flying Boxcars". In- cluded in the group were 60 artil- lerymen and 30 medical corpsmen who will finish "A days of Arctic training here this week.
 "All of us have become one third sourdough," the general said. "We lived in the field and used nothing not considered as standard ordnance"
 Gen. Meyer said the general health of the men is excellent" ."
 More than anywhere else the ground soldier in the Arctic must become foot conscious" the gen. eral said. ''It's a must up here"
 The buddy" system in which two soldiers team up for mutual protection also is an Arctic ne- cessity, he said.
 Speaking frankly of problems still facing the ground forces in combating sub-zero weather, the general said there is need to de- velop system of evacuation for wounded to "cut down radically the time lapse from the wound to the time the man is brought to a heated shelter"
 He criticized footwear, stating that "felt shoes won't stand up mukluks wear out, and shoe packs sometimes leak at the seams"
 The sleeping bag and five-men tent used on the problem proved satisfactory, Meyer said. The tent is similar to the Yukon tent with the stove adapted to gasoline.
 The general said he doubts the sufficiency of either snowshoes or skis as a method of travel. The army's cross-country skis are too narrow, he explained. The man. drawn sled also was described as impractical for military use.
 Either a motor or animal drawn vehicle would be prefer able, Meyer suggested.
 Although telephone equipment performed satisfactorily on the five-day problem, the general said the battery radio was of little use in the extreme cold.
 "As the temperature goes down, transportation develops more and more trouble" Meyer said. Forty degrees below zero was tabbed as the critical" temperature "for borth vehicle and airplane en- zines"
