Good News
For Hams

Amateur Radio Operators now
can talk with the Army by way Of
HAM" station in the Pentagon
Washington.
After several wartime years Of
absence from the Amateur Radie
Bands, the Army has resumed di-
rect contact with the Amateur Fra
lernity through its Ham station in
the Pentagon, K4USA, the Sigma
Corps said today.
Major General Spencer B. Akin
Chief Signal Officer Of the Army
in announcing the opening of K4-
USA, recalled that Amateur Ra1ic
Operators provide a valuable re-
serve of skilled personnel that the
Military Services can draw upon i,
event of an emergency He pointed
out that in peace time too they
frequently furnish vital communi-
cations in disaster areas where C>rl-
mercial facilities might be nopera-
tive.
The Signal Corps Chief STATED
that K4USA will operate with bot,
continuous wave and telephone ennis
sions because each has its advan-
tages, depending on circuit condi
tons and application. The day o.
the Brass Founder" is not yet pass
ed, the General asserted.
Looking to the future, however
General Akin noted that remark
able progress is being made in the
development of Teletype, Television,
Facsimile and other modern equip
ments which are both light weight
and compact. These equipments the
General said may ultimately re-
place the terminal equipment on
many of the Army facilities now in
use.
General Akin recalled that in
every theatre OF war the Amateurs
formed a hard core of radio COM
munication personnel who helped
through their own accomplishments
and through the example they set
to other operators who had not had
the advantage of long experience
and training in communications.
Similarly in the various schools OPP
Grated by the Signal Corps during
the War the Ex-Amateurs on the in
structing staffs strengthened the
whole school organization and be-
cause of their background of ex-
perience expedited the flow OF
graduating students. In Commun-
ication Manufacturing / n u st y
there exist large and small compan-
les that in many cases were started
by Amateurs. the General said. He
observed that their principal initial
market was the Amateur Fraternity
and that they served as the nucleus
for expanded Wartime production
of Communication and Radar equip
ment
K4USA will operate daily on the
3.5, 7, ID and % megacycle bands
and will contact as many Amateurs
as possible through the world.
Transmissions on IA and % mega
cycles will be by means of a Signal
Corps BC6108 transmitter installed
in the Pentagon and using dual
10 and 20 meter, three element Ro-
tary Beam Antenna. Transmitters
for the 40 and 80 meter bands are
operated remotely from the Penta-
gon and are located at the trans
uniting station of War at Battery
Cove and Fort Myer, Virginia.

MUST DREAM A WHILE
 LONGER FOR PULP MILLS

WASHINGTON - A government dream of vast paper and timber industry in Alaska apparently is doomed to remain a dream a while longer. .,.s-a -as,s
 A year ago the U. s. Forest Ser yice took steps to make it come true. IL was influenced by a short age of paper and timber products in this country and by a desire to help develop Alaska.
 It said Alaska's forests could provide 25 per cent of this cOun- try's annual newsprint needs. And it offered to sell billion cubic feet of Alaska National Forest tim Der for forestry products.
 Buyers were required to put up modern pulp and paper mills which would have cost upwards of 50 million dollars.
 But no acceptable offers were re- ceiYed when the time for placing bids on one timber lot expired late in the year. So the time was eX- tended on this lot until last week. Again the timber went begging.
 Auction of a second lot is set for next Monday, but Forestry of ficers have little hope of a suitable offer.
 Among other reasons, native h. dian claims to the timber have discouraged buyers

COACH GIVES RESUME OF BASKETBALL
 TRIP TO ANCHORAGE
By Spt. Coach Geo. Fabrioius

By Spt.-COach Geo. Fabricius
 Due to the generosity of local .eitizens limited number Of Wran- .gell Highs basketball squad was .able To make a uever-to-be-forgot- .ten trip to Anchorage last week.
 The boys felt badly at losing to Anchorage but it should be under stood that they were facing odds and were beaten by a very good team. Apart from the games, I consider the trip very much worth while The boys were treated to a series of experiences that will long remain in memory and which they may never have experienced other wise.
 For many of the boys it was their first plane ride, as well as an experience in blind flying, their first view of Juneau and Anchor age, a hehcopter and a train.
 During their stay in Anchorage time was shortened by school yis- it's, a school play, a dance, eating in a school cafeteria and being guests at a Lions Club luncheon. A highlight for all was the tour of Fort Richardson, Army personnel furnishing both transportation and guide for their tour.
 Our itinerary was as follows:
 Leaving Wrangell on Tuesday morning (March 16) We hardly had time for a good look at Jun eau before taking a cab 10 the air port and boarding a PIMA. plane for Anchorage About a half hour out of Juneau a storm front made it necessary to seek altitude and the next thing We saw was tree tops near Anchorage some five hours later No one especially ap- preciated landing in a blinding snow storm.
 The return trip began at 7:O0 a. m. last Saturday morning with all members planning To attend the Senior Ball that night. Visibility was good from Anchorage to Yak utat. Out of Yakutat visibility was poor, the air rough, much rough CT than any of us cared for. This condition continued, with snow and when only ten minutes out of Juneau the plane was forced to re- turn to Gustayus.
 From early Saturday afternoon until Monday morning all enjoyed the hospitality of Gustavus. The food was excellent and other ac- cOmmodations were such that nc one need complain but no Sen for Ball.
 On our return the boys received a rousing welcome and for this are very grateful. Such a display oi loyalty and confidence does much to atone for their disappointment in not returning victorious. It is such spirit that makes inter. scholastic competition worth while
 Your boys return happy to have had the trip, wiser in many ways and with a new appreciation for Wrangell and Southeastern Alaska
