AFL ORGANIZER SAYS ELECTION ARTICLE iS 2
 WRONG 0N SATURDAY

The article in last Saturdays Empire on the election for sal- mon industry workers in the Ju- neau area was in error, according to Kenneth R. Bowman, AFL organizer for Alaska.
 The CIO 1949 contract states that "the contract is for FTA-CIO itself and on behalf of it's locals"
 The sample ballot of the one to be used in this election also reads: This ballot is to determine the collective bargaining representative, if any, for the unit in which you are employed. Do you wish to be represented for purposes of collec- tive bargaining by AFL yes or no."
 Bowman states, No one received any hourly increase except class e workers who are moved up to class B. Contract then guarantees the same seasonal guaranty for all classes of resident CIO cannery workers. No protection is afforded under the CIO contract for other than CIO members. Therefore, 1t is not truly an exclusive contract covering all workers in Southeast Alaska fishing industries"

JAMES 4. L0YD
 I5 FOUND DEAD

As James Allan Lloyd, who had not been seen since Friday eve- ming, did not make an appearance by Sunda) morning. attendants at the Scandinavian Rooms entered his locked room where they dis covered the body of the 50-year old workman.
 Lloyd apparently had been read- ing just before his death, as he was lying down with a book beside him.
 He was painter by trade, cut had done miscellaneous work since coming to Juneau. Little more is known of him. except that he was Catholic and that he served in World War I for nearly four years, including service in the Vosges and Mouse -Argonne sectors and with the Army of Occupation.
 He was born November 4, 1899 in San Francisco, where his brother John H. Lloyd now lives. Lloyd also is survived by sister, Mrs. Otto P. Walter of Windsor, Calif., and his daughters, Norma and Phyllis who make their home with her. The remains were taken to the Charles w. Carter Mortuary. Fun ,eral arrangements will be an nounced later

glacier surface from their near est neighbors.
 Animal Matter
 The collection includes a surpris- ing variety of spiders, moths, but terflies and insects, but unfortun- ately lacks a rock rabbit specimen These small animals, sometimes known as coneys, were commonly seen in 1948, but for some unex- plained reason have been totally unobserved this year.
 Recently the Project was visited by Professor William c. Steere head of the department of botany University of Michigan He col lected 60 species of Towering plants, shrubs, moses and lichens from three small nunataks at the base of Mt Vancouver.
 This collection will be helpful in studies currently being undertaken to understand the recolorizstion of areas which have, unt-1 ~ccently, been covered with ice.
 Ice Worms
 Not the least spectacular discov- cry has been that of the "skepti- cally considered" glacier or ice worm.
 Some members of Snow Cor nice' with long standing records of mountain exploration, had their illusions dashed in this respect when migrating mass of ice worms was discovered recently. A migrating mass of ice worms was discovered apparently making head way from a meltwater pool on the glacier surface to another such pool some 100 yards away
 To make the scene almost un- believable, one of the pools disclos- ed a shore bird, probably a Phal- arope, calmly swimming about and feeding on the ice worms,
 Although it would have been possible to collect hundreds of the worms, there were no immediate possibilities to preserve them.
 Specimens Obtained
 The discovery was made at a

camp some 30 miles away from the base camp. Eight specimens were flown back as quickly as possible, but in the process, four of them died. The remainder thrived until immersed in alcohol for eventual study by the American Museum of Natural History, New York, and the University Of British Columbia, Vancouver
 With the season fast elapsing, Snow Cornice" plans to bring an end to its researches on September 1.
 At that time, as in 1948, the h. stitute's semi-permanent hut atop Indian Head Nunatak" will be bat tened down for the winter. In it will be stored scientific equip ment intended for future work. The minimum thermometer will be set in the weather shelter and last takeoff will follow.

TRAENING COURSE FOR
 BOY SCOUT HEADERS STARTS TONIGHT, 7::30

Troop and Patrol Program Plan ming" and Patrol Method of Troop Operation" will be the subjects of the first evening meeting tonight of a Scoutmaster's training course be- ing offered to adult Scout leaders of Juneau and Douglas, Curtis Shattuck, Scout district chairman, said today.
 Designed to present the necessary information needed by Scout masters, the training meetings will ce highlighted by sound film de- signed for use in the course.
 Shattuck emphasized that Scout leaders who can attend only one meeting of the course should do so, as each evenings session is com plete and covers a separate sub jeet, certificates will be issued to those who complete the entire course, however.
 The basement of the Methodist church is being utilized, and the sessions start at 7:30 pm. and are completed by 9:30 pm.
 The entire training course is be- ing conducted by Field Executive Russ Apple, Fairbanks, who is en- route to join Scout Executive Maurice Powers, Juneau, and the Ketchikan and Anchorage Field Executives in Salem, Oregon, for an executives training conference.

Snow Corniee" Finds Legendary Ice Worms on
 Glacier = Specimens

Among the wide variety of studies being undertaken by Project Snow Cornice" of the Arctic Institute of North America on Seward Glacier this summer, few are proving more significant or more successful than the application of seismic sounding to depth of ice determination.
 Such work has been under way for more than month under the direction of pr. R. P. Sharp of the California Institute of Tech nology. Under his supervision is a team of technicians from the h. stitute representing a wide field of scientific interests.
 While it is possible to study the characteristics of snow and ice and their relation to the active history of a glacier without penetrating far beneath the surface, little can be deduced as to the volume of ice concerned in given moving mass unless the contour of the glacier bottom is known.
 Determination of this contour is the objective of Norman Domenico and John R. Reese through the application of seismic techniques. While some work has been done in the past on depth measurement in pure ice, Domenico and Reese are faced with the problem of pene- trating a medium which varies ni density from the surface down wards.
 Thus a sound impulse travels at an ever changing speed Until this velocity has been determined for the specific conditions at hand, no accurate solution to the problem of

plumbing the glacier IS possible.
 I7SO Feet Ice Depth

This difficulty however, has been overcome by Domenico and Reese. To date ice depths to 1,780 feet have been determined. Still great CT depths will be attained before the conclusion of the field season.
 It has been determined by gray ity surveys that the point at which depth of l730 feet was recorded is on the sloping bottom of the glacier. The maximum depth will be determined some miles to the westward of the test site.
 It is impossible to predict the maximum depth which will be at tained, but results of 2,000 to 2,500 feet are expected.
 In connection with the overall glacier stpdies program, a visit was made in July to the entrance of the Seward Gap. This gap is in effect comparable to the entrance of a pipe or a funnel All of the accumulated millions of tons of ice comprising the Seward basin reser- voir eventually discharge through the Gap" to the Malaspina Gla- cier
 The purpose of this trip was to determine the speed at which the surface layers of glacier ice are moving sea-ward.
 Stakes Dropped
 Once the party was established at the margin of the Gap" the projects Norseman aircraft flew over the glacier and dropped four eight foot weighted stakes at even- ly spaced intervals across the d. rection of flow.
 These stakes. designed to be sighted upon with precision instru- ments from the margin, all stood neatly erect. Thus, it was unneces- 1 sary for members of the party to cross the confusion of crevasses and chaos of crushed ice to place | them.
 During the ensuing 43 hours, ai- , most continuous observations were | made on the stakes with the result | that it is possible for the first time | to say that the Seward Glacier | ice at the points observed is mov- ing at a rate of l6 feet per day.
 Tn the realm of natural history, | the season is proving particularly productive.

Southeast state you would have all the buildings and we would have to go about building our own
 McCutcheon suggested the people should have a vote on where the statehood capital should be. He declared: Tt never should have been located at Juneau.
 Fights For Juneau
 Mrs. Amelia Gundersen took up the cudgels for Southeast Alaska and Juneau.
 Rep. Warren Taylor recommended decentralization of government de- partments whether or not the capi- Jal ever is moved He said that such departments as public health, taxation and highway would better be located in Anchorage or Fair banks, closer to where ,x,ost of their work is centered.
 Rep. Percy Ipalook, rom chilly Wales, commented that Fairbanks is too cold for me-" and suggested i've all know Juneau will be the capital for another 25 years" Rep. Chester Carlson also remarked on Fairbanks weather: When it gets so cold you have to figure on get ting your water by the ton, it isn't a very hospitable spot for capi- tal."
 Governor Gruening finally was called to the stand to testify to the acute need for extra offic e space-but he steered away from the controversy over a site. He said efforts to get the Federal Government to provide it's own space for federal agencies had been futile.
