Seattle C. of C. Requests Fuel Plant

The departments of Interior and Defense will be urgently requested by the Seattle Chamber of Com .lerce to establish a commercial fuel plant within the Territory of Alaska

Barge Still
 Held by Sand Awaiting Aid

The latest radio report received yesterday was that the Alaska Railroad Barge 738 was still aground at Fern Harbor near Cape Spencer. Efforts to pull her off had been futile so far, but the two tugs from Seattle would soon be on the scene.
 The report said that the barge was not exposed to any severe weather, and was resting securely in place. At the time there was no apparent damage to the vessel, and if it had been injured at all, the damage was still hidden.
 No date was mentioned yester- day for the arrival of the wooden motor ship North Star.

Cement Plant Gets Boost In Report

The first of a series of reports on 37 potential Alaska industries came through this week. The Sal isbury report is a 6l-page treatise entitled Alaska Cement" and is backed up by geological surveys, complete with charts and maps.
 The proposed site for the cement plant is between Windy and Can't well, and has been recommended after month long job of core drilling. The work was done by Jesse Snyder of Churchville, Vir- ginia, Jack Herman of Cantwell, and Chris Soudet of Juneau, who are diamond core drillers from the Bureau of Mines.
 The plant would have a capacity of 1900 barrels a day. and would have the advantage of location so that both production and trans portation would be economical. The need for inexpensive building material in Alaska is quite ob- vious, the report said. Nature has lavishly strewn mat erials for cement making through out Alaska, but the best location along the railbelt is between Windy and Cantwell. Limestone, clay, gypsum and coal are all found in this vicinity, and the railbelt is in a position to handle the materials economically from this point. ... The creation of a single cement plant would result in a monopoly
 For this reason. it was recom- mended that the plant be owned
 by the government so the price would be subject to control. {

Airport Improvement Looms As Mayor Gets Assurance
 Of Government Cooperation

In letter received yesterday by Mayor Gene Lanier full SUD- port for improvement of the Sew ard airport has been promised by the Department of the Interior The news was released yesterday by Mayor Gene Lanier through an interview in which he said Sew ard must get down to business and decide exactly what it wants for the airport
 There must be a definite pro- gram for the improvement of the airport, even though it is not all we could desire, the mayor said. Without program in mind, we don't know, ourselves, what to ask for
 It was a lengthy letter from the Department of the Interior. but the main idea is carried in the fol- lowing excerpt from the second paragraph:
 "The suggestion has been made, however, that the Seward City Council should make a request of the Delegate that such funds as are necessary should be provided in special bill authorizing inn provement of the Seward field. You may be certain that if you are able to prevail upon Delegate i Bartlett to introduce suck legis lation, it will have the full support of the Department"
 The letter was signed py wm. s. Warne, Assistant Secretary of the Interior, and was addressed to Honorable Eugene Lanier, Mayor of Seward.
 It has been an acknowledged fact for a long time that the Sew ard airport has been quite made quate, and many plans have been proposed. Planes as large as DC 3's have landed at times, but even with favorable weather the land ing of such a plane calls for great care and skill.

vERMICULITE PLASTER

J. N. writes: "Is this new vermicu-
lite that is used in plaster in place
in place of sand as good as washed
sand? Can a sand float finish be
made with it? I have been told that
it is less likely to crack and that it
has considerable insulating value"
While I have not used this myself,
I hear very good reports as to its
value. A friend who is a lumber
dealer used it on his new home
about three years ago and considers
it by far the best plaster he has ever
seen. His was the first time it was
used in that town and he had some
trouble getting the plasterers to put
it on; but now they prefer it.

ing its place. 1t may be used in both
the brown and finish coats so as to
leave a sand-float like finish; or
the vermiculite can be used for the
heavy first coat, and a hard skim
coat put on for the finish.
1t is claimed to give a consider
able amount of insulation due to the
millions of tiny air cells trapped in
the vermiculite grains. Also that it
is much less likely to crack with
wide changes of temperature be-
cause of its more porous nature.
Also to be many pounds lighter per
square yard because the puffed up
grains are so very light as COM
pared with sand. I feel sure you
will be well satisfied.

WAX FOR SCREW THREADS

H. W. M. writes: Here is a handy
hint I have been using for some
time. If when setting wood screws
I find they turn hard, I take out the
screw and rub some floor wax on
the threads. This will make the
screw turn easily and will also pre-
vent the threads from rusting fast"

CAB HEARING AT ANCHORAGE WILL
 OPEN (,N MONDAY
Purposes Of Session Four. Fold Governor is 10
 Present Arguments

ANCHORAGE = Gov. Ernest Cruening, the Anchorage Cham Ter of Commerce, and the Alaska Development Board will appear at the Civil Aeronautics Board hear ing Monday, October g, to argue that the present air transportation between the territory and the United States is not adequate.
 The Anchorage phase of the :, hearing is to start Monday in District Court for the convenience of two territorial carriers, Mt. Me Kinley Airways and the Wien Alaska AiIlines. The second part of the hearings is to be held with in one week of the Anchorage session in Washington, D. c.
 The hearing VIII have a four fold purpose: GJ to determine whether the present cargo service between the territory and the Estates is adequate; @ whether or not proposed new routes are required; (3) to inspect the quallfi- cations of the carriers applying for additional routes, and t4) to de- termine, should the board rule that additional carriers are ne-es- sary. which carris-s could best qualify for the service.
 Mt. Mcr1lll.5y l-irways and the Wien Airways are the only two carriers expected to present their case in full before the board at the Anchorage session. Partial cases will be' aired by United States Airlines. Inc, Alaska Transporta- ton Co, Northern Airlines, Inc, Alaska Airlines, Pacific Northern Airlines, Pan American Airways, Northwest Airlines and Pacific Overseas Airlines. The latter two certified carriers are expected to present arguments showing that air >tlansp portati0n between the States and Alaska is adequate and suffi- cient to meet the demands of the air traffic
 Governor C,zusning will lead the l.s5 ol agencies and private per- sclls who are to appear before the board. Tine cities of Chicago, Ju- ncau, Ketchikan, and the auditor of the City of Portland have desig- nated their intentions of appearing at either the Anchorage or the Washington hearings In addition, the Great Falls, Mont. Chamber of Commerce, Northern Consolidated Airlines and the Department of the Interior are scheduled to give tes- timony at the hearing.
 Both hearings are to be presld- ed over by William F. Cusick, Washington examiner. Robert J. Benes, public counsel, will conduct most of the questioning.
 The Alaska and the Pacific Northern Airlines are expected to introduce industrial witnesses at the Anchorage hearing. Both air Zines plan to present their main case in Washington.
