ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Oct. 29.-- Reinsurance troubles apparently have brought an end to the emer- gency barge service to Kodiak, the islands life line" during the mari time strike.
 Mayor Lee Bettinger of Kodiak reported here that the island city's hopes for supplies were killed by word from Seattle that no insur- ance is available to cover shipment of $200,0O0 worth of merchandise aboard a chartered barge.
 Bettinger was informed the insur- ance was cancelled because of the loss of the self-propelled barge Skarstone in the Gulf of Alaska last week. Four of the five men aboard perished. The Skarstone was operating under a private charter.
 Bettinger said cancelling. of the charter left Kodiak without any prospect of relief from a serious shortage of food items and other staples.
 We have 10 sugar, salt, shorten ing, flour or canned milk in Ko- diak," he declared We have to draw emergency supplies from the Naval base
 The Mayor said the chartered barge was scheduled to sail this week from Seattle with 300 tons of supplies, adding: Kodiak mer- chants had orders ready for de- livery to the docks when it twas learned all insurance had been can celled as a result of the $2000 000 loss on the Skarstone.
 Besides needed staples. mer- chants are trying to get Christ mas merchandise and other sup plies to the island. It will be a blank Christmas if all we can have is salt drawn from the Navy"
 They agreed, however. that the rates on the self-propelled barge type of craft was sharply higher during the winter season for travel across the stormy gulf of Alaska. Spokesmen for two major marine
