 Ice masses in the area apparent ly form when cracks in the earth fill with water in the spring and then freeze in winter. This in turn causes the land to settle unevenly as alternate freezing and thawing bring about shifting
 Now that studies of the Dunbar land are completed, the area will be reopened to settlement by in- dependent farmers, Wilson said.
 Further reports on the other withdrawn areas of land are ex- pected in the near future. Thomas Day, district conservationist, is now compiling figures in prepar- ation for submission of the report on the Kenai-Kasilof area. This report is expected to be made pub lie by December l.
 Surveys also are complete in the Ninilchik and Fritz Creek areas. The field crew returned from this latter location last week, where they had been collecting soils samples.

Land in the Dunbar area near Fairbanks, one of several sites withdrawn for soils classification and study, has been termed un- suitable for agriculture. it was an- nounced recently by William War ne of the Department of the h. terior. The announcement was based primarily on studies made there by the Soil Conservation Ser vice and the U. S. Geological Sur vey.
 According to those studies, it has been determined that 30 per cent of the land in the area is per manently frozen swamp. 30 per cent is mountainous and unsuited for cultivation, and 40 per cent possibly could be cultivated, pro- vided it contains no ice masses. However, of the possible 40 per cent of land suited to cultivation, at least 25 per cent appears sub- ject to ice and only 15 per cent can be definitely said to be free of possible ice
 Charles Wilson, territorial con- servationist, explained that this report did not mean that indepen- dent farming could not be carried on profitably in the Dunbar area. There's some mighty fine-looking land in there-land on which a

 The meeting was called by MT. Niemi, in an effort to determine which side roads must be kept open this winter, under the ARCS limited snow removal budget.
 There were approximately 30 local residents at the meeting. Re quests for. snow removal were based primarily on the need for traffic to and from Palmer em- ployment and businesses or on the need for children to reach one of

Liquor Distributor Charged
By FTC with Price Fixinq

The Middle Atlantic Distributors,
Inc, 100 block of Second street
NV, and its officers are charged
In a Federal Trade Commission
complaint with using unlawful
agreements to fix minimum prices
at which retailers may sell whiskies
and alcoholic beverages.
The complaint issued by the FTC
alleges that the corporation, a
wholesale dealer, has violated the
Federal Trade Commission Act by
having adopted and maintained a
system of merchandising designed
to make uniform the resale of GER
tain alcoholic products. The COM
mission charges this has been done
both through agreements and
understandings.
The effect of the corporation's S
policy Of merchandising, the FTC
charges. has been to suppress COM
petition among retail dealers and
to prevent them from selling at
such lower prices as they might
deem adequate and warranted" by
selling costs and trade conditions.
Retail dealers, the complaint
alleges, are prevented under the
agreements from selling products
distributed by Middle Atlantic at
prices less than the fixed minimum
resale prices.
Officers of the corporation who
are named as individual respond
entS are Paul H. Coughin, presi-
dent; Murdoch J. Finlayson, vice
president, and William r. Lichten-
berg, secretary. The complaint al

Under the draft it got about 3O,-

be whole lot more valuable.
What can the Army do about it?
II enlistments fall down, the prob
lem will never come up. But if en-
listments stay high the Army might
raise enlistment qualifications.
1t already has made the minimum
enlistment period three years in
stead of the present two.
This is just something to think
about, not count on. It is a pecu-
liar situation compared to that of
last summer when the Draft Act
was passed.
Possibly by next summer 1t will

men.
The next four months are tradi-
tionally low enlistment months
However. the Army is looking for
no trouble at all in keeping its
strength up to the current 677,000
Changes in this situation un-
doubtedly will develop. For in
stance, suppose enlistment figures
stay up somewhere near the 35,000-
a-month figure. In that case, the
Army may find itself in the posi-
ton of turning down good soldier

ger than 677,000 a lot of potential
three-year men may have to stay in

This could put the Army in a
tough spot. Naturally, 1t would
rather have all volunteers than some
volunteers and some draftees. Also,
it would much rather have three

More significant. though, is the new
ceiling on total Army strength
677,000, just what the Army has
now. That is more than 100000
below the figure the Eightieth Con-
gress fixed. Those 100000. most OF
them, were coming into the Army
via the draft.
A look at our total employment
figures may supply part of the an
swer to the question why enlist
ments have been running better
than expected. In July we had
81 ,6l5, 900 persons working. During
the first week in December the fig
ure was 59,434,000. 1t is natural
that people looking for jobs will

The Army says its strength today
is 677, 1000 men. The Presidents bud
get message to Congress says that
Army strength will be kept at that
figure.
So, if enlistments don't take a
drastic drop the Army won't be TAX
ing any draftees. Or so it seems.
The Army has said definitely it
will need none during February
and March. For the rest of this
month the draft will go ahead as
planned.
What is the reason for this? A
higher than expected rate of en-
listments is part of it. of course.
