Return Of Antarctic Expedition
Discounts RUmors of Uranium

Observation-Disclosures is not
likely to be the scene of a "uran-
ium rush" or any other kind of in
ternational scramble for mineral
wealth, at least in the immediate
future.
Commodore Gerald l.. Ketchum,
leader of the navy's two-ship 1947-48
Antarctic expedition which has just
returned after five months "down
UNDER" said that mo minerals of
any commercial value" had been
found at any point on the coast.
And the expedition worked its
way along the shores of the worlds
southernmost continent through
more than half its perimeter.
More than two tons of mineral
specimens were brought back by
DR.. Earl T. APPEL, of Syracuse uni
versity, geologist of the expedition,
but they are "just rocks"
They do have considerable scien-
tific interest, for by analyzing them
DR.. APPEL hopes to get some idea of
the geologic age of the continent.
In one area there were quantities
of garnets, left by the disintegration
of granite rock; but these again
are without commercial value.

u. S. Treasurer
Has Signature
On " Billions

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Meet the
Treasurer of the United States, Will
liam Alexander Julian. He's been
on the job since 1888.
Ever hear of him? Lots of people
haven't.
If you haven't, it's because you
don't read your paper money-any
paper money-down in the left hand
corner.
There it is, his signature: w. A..
Julian, treasurer of the United
States. He's not secretary of the
treasury. That's John w. Snyder.
Julian is the big bookkeeper on all
the money the government collects
and spends. He has a staff of 1,600
people. His. salary: $4,000 a year.
Snyder, as secretary of the treas
ury, has a different job. He doesn't
have to worry about the bookkeep-
ing. He sets money policies, such
as on government loans.
Snyder's signature is on all the
paper money printed since he be-
came secretary a couple of years
ago. It's down in the right hand
III opposite J%ulian's.
Name Is on All Currency
But Julian's is on all the paper
money printed since 1888, when he
became treasurer, opposite the
anne of all the treasury secre-
taries since then: William H. Wood
in, Henry Morgenthau, jr., Fred A.
Vinson, and Snyder.
In short, Julian's name is on paper
money worth about 274s billion dol
lars. His office is part of the treas
ury department under Snyder.
Back around 1923 Julian retired
from business. He was reported
then to be a millionaire.
He had been a shoe salesman.
Then, as a shoe manufacturer, he
built up the fortune he is reported
to have.
He was also president of a trust
company in Cincinnati, Ohio, and
director of other banks. When he
quit making shoes, he kept his bank
directorships.
Meanwhile, he was a Democrat.
Rumor said he was one of the
CANCELS" of the Democratic party in
Ohio. Then President Roosevelt and
the new deal" came along in 1888.
Roosevelt Appoints Him
Roosevelt appointed Julian treas
urer of the United States.
If Julian retired from business in
1923 and became treasurer in 1888,
how old was he in 1888?
In 1888 friends guessed he was
about SO years old. Newspaper files
don't show his age. The story OF
his life, but not his age, is in Who's
Who in America.
Julian himself has been shy about
his age. One of his top assistants,
asked about it, said: .
1.-THE only ones who know the an
to Julian's age are God and
I should think he's in his
late seventies"
But if he was SO in 1888, he must
be 83 now. Asked directly, Julian
said: "I'm old enough to know bet
won't you tell, just for the rec
mo. Why should II"

demand for an enlarged and COM
petitive merchant marine and full

At the conclusion of his talk Gov
and Mrs. Warren were presented

The Californian, somewhat taken
aback by the gesture, made slip

II years ago" he began, stopping In
confusion as his wife smiled and
the crowd laughed.
Il mean % years ago." he
corrected himself.
Then smiling broadly he added

as I was"
Wants Resources Developed.
In his talk Gov. Warren called for
q merchant marine able to make
an honorable bid for its share Of
the worlds commerce" and full de-
velopment of the Far Vests natural
resources with special emphasis on
hydro-electric power.
"It is about time" he said Of
American shipping, "for us to re-
member that a well balanced mer-
chant marine program is a peace
time need as vital to our industrial
welfare as it Is vital for our defense
In wartime"
Gov. Warren's merchant marine
statement was made in the only

There appears to be considerable misundei
proposal of Pan American Always to serve St. Croix
The Examiner of the Civil Aeronautics Board who
officially recommended that Pan Americans propos
local operations of Caribbean Atlantic AirlineS.
In order that our many friends in St. Croix who
may understand our position in this matter, we are t
of Pan Americans proposal.
/. In endorsing Pan Americans proposal the
people Of St. Croix have assumed that Pan Ameri-
can would not compete with Caribbean Atlantic
for the local traffic between St. Croix and St.
Thomas and between St. Croix and San Juan and
that Pan Americans service would be limited to
the carriage of through traffic between St. Croix
and the United States. THIS ASSUMPTION is
INCORRECT. At the hearings in San Juan, Pan
Americans witnesses testified specifically that Pan
American would not be willing to accept any res
friction which would prevent it from duplicating
Caribbean Atlanticis local service and would not
be willing to serve St. Croix if it were limited only
to the carriage of through passengers (page 375 Of
the Official Transcript( Accordingly, if Pan Amer
lean is allowed to serve ST. Croix it will be able
to parallel Caribbean Atlantic's entire route from
San Juan to St. Thomas and St. Croix and would
expose to ruinous competition approximately so
per cent of Caribbean Atlantic's total traffic and
total passenger revenues. Obviously, Caribbean
Atlantic cannot afford to compete with Pan Amer
lean, the worlds largest airline, for this local traf-

Atlantic, the pioneer in air. transportation to St.
