JiRp SCIENTISTS < MEASURE DEPTH I OF TAkU GLACIER

Crowned and bearded after month on Taku Glacier a three man seismologist crew from the Juneau Ice Research Project was back in Juneau today waiting to return to the ice field the easy way. They will go aboard an Air Force |d0th Rescue Squadron CAT to
 make their second trip to the re- search area. The big plane is scheduled to arrive here within the next few days to make experi- mental landings on the Juneau Ice Cay" Men and equipment will be flown in to continue their seismic study in glacier ice thickness.
 pr. Thomas C. foulter, associ- ate director, Stanford Research In- stitute, pioneer in the field of seismic research, heads the group which has been using the "Poulter Method" in probing for secrets of the advancing Taku Glacier.
 Dynamite, metal stakes, seismic camera and instruments called geophones. are part of the equip ment used in making findings on how deep is the great Taku ice flow.
 Maximum thickness of ice about two miles up from the glacier front was discovered to be HOO fleet, according to Dr. Poulter, who added that at some points the
 glacier ice was only slightly more than 400 feet.
 E Explaining the method used in
 determining the ice thickness, Dr.
 Poulter said that small charge lof dynamite was attached to a
 metal stake extending several feet
 above the ice. Geophones were
 placed around the stake to pick up the sound waves sent down by the
 blast of the dynamite charge. A
 seismic camera made a record of the sound waves on bromide paper,
 which upon development in port fable darkroom gave the story for
 interpretation by the seismologists.
 The method. which was perfected by Dr. Poulter and the Stanford sResearch Institute is now in gen.
 eral usage in oil field operations
 he said. It has been accepted by the Institute of Inventive Research. s Stephen Miller and c. F. Allen,

 "Feudin', Fussin' and A-Fightin' was written by George Sherman and produced by Leonard Gold stein. The story is based on the Golfers magazine story by D. D Beauchamp, who wrote the screen play from his own piece. Joe Besser heads a large supporting cast.

fuential in our economy and thus

also, as the 80th Congress demon
strated, also influential in our poll
tics. ,,
An investigation Of lobbying ac-
tivities consequently has been pro-
posed, with President Truman's
backing, by Senator Kilgore, Demo-
crat, of West Virginia. AS a starter,
that will be very salutary.
Also salutary would be an investi-
cation into the mammoth life in
surance industry such as now pro-
posed in a resolution j,intly spon-
sored by Representative Celler,
Democrat, of New York and Senator
McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada,
'chairmen, respectively, of House
and Senate Judiciary Committees.
1t would be a joint House-Senate
inquiry conducted by a special
committee Of six, three from each
Judiciary Committee.
Almost Sacrosanct.
The insurance industry Is very
powerful because of its ramifica-
tions into our whole business and
financial structure through its in
vestment of billions in all sorts of
enterprises. 1t has great resources
at its control, and therefore great
influence. It's money comes, in the
first instance, from millions Of pol
icyholders in premiums. Because
of that, and because of its reinvest-
ment of that money elsewhere, the
industry is of great public interest
and, as the sponsors Of the resolu-
ton of inquiry said in a joint
statement, detailed information
concerning the operations of the
industry Is not only greatly lacking
but apparently difficult to secure. "
This powerful industry has been,
in fact, almost sacrosanct. It has
so many pressures available to stop
prying eyes.
There has been no investigation
of insurance since the T. N. E. c.
inquiry, so-called, conducted back
in 1889 and 1910 by a joint congress
sional committee headed by Senator
O'Mahoney, Democrat, Of Wyoming
1t is high time for another -ook.
1t is a good idea every so often for
the public to see how powerful
private institutions operate and
whether further regulation is need
ed. For the money they use belongs
to the public.
Regulation, among other things, is
a subject Of the proposed insurance
inquiry. Insurance companies are
under State regulation. When the
Justice Department brought an anti
trust suit some years ago against
Southeastern fire underwriters, the
insurance companies got busy In
Congress to get specific exemption
from the antitrust laws on grounds

Friends Say Macarthur Will Celebrate
His 10th Birthday in United States

Gus, is to have genuinely friendly
governments at the most important
strategic points - the Rhine and
Eastern Mediterranean in Europe
and North China. Manchuria ano
Japan in the Pacific.
Gen. MacArthur's advisory reports
have been read with interest but
have not been followed as far as the
Pacific is concerned. Chang was
badly let down by an improvident
and short-sighted policy in Wash
ington and now his defeat is bound
to have vital repercussions on Japan
itself.
Alone in Occupying Japan.
We are now practically alone in
occupying that country. Britain
the Commonwealth nations and
France are quietly withdrawing
The Russians, who accepted the ap-
pointment of Gen. Macarthur as
supreme commander, refused to
send any troops because they did
not want them to be under a "capi-
talist-imperialist" officer. They took
advantage of every mistake we made
on the Asiatic mainland to get their
puppets into control in Manchuria
and North China. Now they are
devoting more attention to Japan
than is good for us.
The fact that at this weeks elec-
tions the Communists did not gain
all overwhelming majority means
little in fact. No Communist gov
ernment comes into power by popu-
lar vote. If the ballot were free in
Russia and the other countries be-
hind the Iron Curtain. we would not
have the Kremlin dominating these
vast areas, with a population of
some 300,000.000 persons. Commu-
nists take over by subversive meth
DDS, and they act methodically, as
we have seen in Central and East
ern Europe.
So long as there are American
forces in Japan, their job will not
be as easy as it was in CZechoslo-
vakia and Hungary. But the Red
victories over the United States in
China have already made a suffi-
cient impression in Japan to worry
not only the Tokyo government. but
also the supreme commander him.
self.
To the propaganda value of the
Red victories in China must be
added the increasing number OF
Japanese prisoners Of war whom
the U. S. 8. r. now Is sending back
to their homeland. These men have
been carefully hand picked and in
doctrinated during their three years
of captivity in Siberia and at pres
ent are the spearhead of future
Soviet penetration in Hirohito's
empire.
Gen. MacArthur's 10000 combat
troops who are now occupying Japan
can handle the situation for the
time being. But no one can say for
certain what will happen before
this wear Is out.

THOUGHT OF THE WEEK

Every student of the Hebrew
language is aware that we have
in the conjugation of its verbs a
mood known as the Intensive
(PieD Voice, which by means of
an almost inperceptible modifi-
cation of vowel points intensifies
the meaning of the primitive root.
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1949-01-28

A similar significance seems to
attach to the Jews themselves in
connection with the people "a
mong whom they dwell. They
are the intensive form of any ma
tionality whose language und
customs they adopt.

Jews In Sports

Chicago high school hoop cir
cles are agog over the fine play |
of one Irv Bemoras of Marshall
High who recently tailed 36l
points in one contest. Irv will be
graduated by the time this col
umn hits print. Some twenty
colleges have offered the lad
basketball scholarships and it is
said he has decided on going to
Illinois.
If he took our advice he would
choose some other school where
he would not get lost in the Shut
file. Illinois brings in hundreds
of boys who never made the
grade for the simple reason that
they never get a chance. It has
been many moons since a Jewish
lad performed regularly for the
Illini. DePaul in Chicago would
be safer bet for Bemoras who
would at least play some of the
time under Coach Ray Meyer if
he entered the institution. At Ill
inois he stands little chance of
playing regularly and probably
will wind up like so many other
Jewish boys who went there.
The son of a Brooklyn High
School coach entered Illinois last
year and played some freshman
ball. This year he didn't even
try out for the varsity knowing
full well in advance that he
would be given little chance to
show his abilities. This young
ster is a pretty fair player, too.
He played with All-American
Ed Macauley in the mountains
this past summer.
Abe Saperstein is on his way
to Alaska with one Of his Globe
trotter quintets. Abe made the
trip at the request of the Army.
His club will play twelve games
for soldiers stationed all over the
country there.
The Boston Braves have ap-
preached Saperstein relative to
locating eight colored baseball
players for the Hub farm system.
Since Abe is employed by Cleve-
land to do that particular type
of scouting he has asked the
Braves to contact Bill Veeck, In
dian prexy, for permission to
handle the mission.
