NATURAL GAS
IS FOUND IN
ARCTIC AREA
Commercial Quantities Re-
ported : Discovery
Made by Navy

WASHINGTON, July 25-R-
The Navy discloses that natural
gas has been found in CONNER
cial quantities near Point Barrow,
Alaska, the Northernmost inhabited
spot on this continent.
The discovery came in the Nays
stepped up search for gas and oil
findings in the $1,000 acres Naval
Petroleum Reserve No. 4, at the
top of the world
The natural gas well, known as
South Barrow No. g." has been
drilled about six miles south OF
Point Barrow. A considerable de-
post of gas is indicated.
This discovery, plus the shows
Of oil and gas tested in wells
drilled in other parts of the reserve,
justify the careful exploration pro-
gram being conducted by the Navy
in Alaska said Com. William G..
Greenman, Director of Naval Pet.
roleum Reserves in a statement.
GOOD GAS FLOW
The new gasser is flowing in
quantities sufficient to meet the
fuel requirements of the Naval in
stallation at Point Barrow.
First unit of the annual Point
Barrow supply fleet lett Seattle
July 10. In the group are the ice
breaker Burton Island and four
LISTS danding ships, Tank.
The remainder OF the fleet will
sail from Seattle next Tuesday,
headed ey the flagship UsS George
Clymer 1t will lead four attack
cargo ships and an oiler.
Point Barrow is ice-free only
from two to four weeks in August.
Last year the expedition ran a race
against time and the shifting ice
pack to unload the supplies needed
to support the, Nays oil explora-
ton crews and native villages.
SHOWS REVEALED
All of the five deep wells drilled
so far, and two of the three now
being drilled, have revealed .shows"
which encourage belief that COM
mercial oil fields exist in TIE region,
the Navy said.
Greenman is of the opinion that
prospects look more encouraging
than at any time. He feels strongly
that exploration should continue.
Work is now being done under
$4,000, 900 appropriation through
June 1885, Additional money would
be needed for the fiscal year OF
1950-51.
To make the withdrawal of the
oil commercially profitable, Green
man said workable fields would be
capable Of producing about 100000
barrels a day from a reserve OF
from 400, 100000 to 500,00O,000 bar
relS
This is seen as necessary to war
rant building a 70O-mile pipeline
to an ice-free port and the expense
Of getting the oil out Of the frozen
ground.
The oil was described as having
a very low pour point and would
flow through the pipes even in sub
zero weather.

Sends Message 10 Con-
qress for Foreign Aid
Atlantic Pact Signed
BY JOHN M. HIGHTOwEE

WASHINGTON, Ja.y ,25.-R--
President Truman signed the his
toric North Atlantic treaty today
and Immediately asked Congress to
back it up with $1,450, 00O,0 0o
foreign arms program.
The chief executive said the
Western European members Of the
newly ratified military alliance-as
well as other nations around the
globe-must have American help to
build up their defenses against the
threat of Russian aggression.
Barely an hour before he sent a
special message to the lawmakers
pleading for swift approval of his
program to meet "the most press
ing current needs" Mr.. Truman
penned his signature to the ratif'-
cation instrume,.t of the Atlansic
Pact.
He called the treaty--ratifled Oily
last Thursday by an 80 to Is Sem
ate vote "A historic step toward
world of peace, free world, free
from fear"
Statement At Signing
But 1t is only one STEP" he said
in statement issued at the White
House signing ceremony.
I'VE must keep ourselves moral
ly and materially strong. We must
play our part in helping to
strengthen freedom everywhere"
Two Republican Senators who
have played an important part
in drafting this country's bi-parti-
san foreign policy had served adj
vance notice on the Administra-
ton that its views may not COIN
eide with theirs.
Senator vandenberg of Michigan,
ranking Republican on the Senate
Foreign Relations committee, an
nounced over the weekend he fav-
ored a "stop-gap" arms program
one to be carried out only until
grand strategy can take shape un-
der the Atlantic Pact.
Figure Too Big
And Senator Dulles of New York,
a top adviser on foreign policy
matters, fatty called the 81. 450, 000,-
600 figure too big" even before he
entered the Senate.
Actually the value OF the propos-
ed foreign arms aid would approach
$1,825, 900. oc0, the State Department
disclosed.
The extra value is in excess"
U. S. military stocks, proposed to
be sent to Americas friends
abroad with no charge other than
the cost of getting IL ready for
use, and handling.
For Eight Nations
About $450.000,O00 worth of such
material. the Department estimat-
ed, can be provided with only
about S75.000.000 in rehabilitation
costs charged against the program
Under the program, military aid
would go mainly to eight Europ-
can nations and to about half
dozen others scattered all the
way from Europe to the Pacific
Ocean,
If this program of military aid
is to succeed" Mr.. Truman said
in special message to the law
Makers" we must prosecute 1t
promptly and vigorously. Our poll
cies for peace are having the de-
sired effect We cannot afford to
lose the momentum we have al
ready gained"

TUBERCULIN AND BEG
VACCINATION PROGRAM
HINDER WAY IN EUROPl

A large-scale tuberculin testing
and BEG vaccination program has
been inaugurated in number OF
European countries as well as in
China, India and other areas in
the East. At the present time ap-
proximateIy 100000 children aIs

The joint enterprise employs
techniques and methods defined by
the WHO tuberculosis expert com
mittee and subcommittee on
tuberculin testing and BEG vac
cination. In some countries the
joint enterprise assists only with
the initiation of the pregnant; in
others, it undertakes to help until
the entire instrumentation cam
paign has been ompleted.
AS part of the WHO'S interna-
tional program of tuberculosis
control, surveys will begin soon in
Latin America and in the Eastern
Mediterranean countries to deter
mine Cd the extent of the prob
lem in each country, CD present
facilities and manner in which
they are being used, and 90 ad-

Several things have come to my
attention lately that l feel
should speak to you about.
One is that l would consider it
personal favor if you would not
call me for anything except an
emergency after 8 p. m. Any ad-
vice you ask for over the phone, or
any Misunderstanding of advice is
at your own risk.
Many times someone calls fran
tically and says, send the Doctor,
quickly, to such and such a loca-
tion,' and then hangs up. This is
neither fair to the patient nor to
me. Stay on the phene long enough
to give me a little idea of what
has happened so that l can come
prepared and arse tell You what 10
do until 1 get there.
Then, about the hospital 1t
would be a great help to the hos
pital patients and to the nurse on
duty if you would limit your calls
to the necessary ones Calling the
nurse away from the bedside every
IL minutes to advise you as to
whose baby has arrived is certain
ly more than a small nuisance
This is an appeal to your sense of
fair play as We know that you are
sincerely interested in these vital
happenings and likewise interestd
in helping the nurses give the pa
tients proper care.
The visiting hours for the hos
pital are posted in the entrance
May l ask you to conform to these
as much as is humanity possible?
