nELICOpIERS ADDED
TO ARMY; USED IN
LO0ISTICS

! Transport companies equipped
with helicopters designed for army
combat operations and logistical
support are being organized for use
in corps, divisions and smaller tact
ical units, it is announced by the
Department of the Army.
Each company will be equipped
with % helicopters. Two of the
aircraft will be used for command
and reconnaissance purposes. The
other helicopters will be of the light
cargo type for transport Of men,
equipment and supplies.
Organization of units with hell
copters is expected to add speed and
flexibility to army tactical oper-
ations since the aircraft may be
utilized for rapid transport and de-
scent capabilities. Ability to hover
and land or take off without pre-
pared landing areas will meet stu
ations which would not permit the
use of conventional aircraft.
Helicopter-equipped companies, 1t
is anticipated, will facilitate river
crossings and special types of oper-
ations which may be required for
arctic, amphibious, mountain and
Jungle warfare where movement of
vehicles on the ground can be ex-
tremely difficult. The use of these
aircraft for air transport in the field
of small unit tactics will also open
new concepts of operations in
ground combat since they will af-
ford greater mobility behind our
front lines in the combat zone.
In authorizing the use of hellcop-
tiers, or aircraft of similar charac-
teristics, for transport companies,
the army stated that it visuallzed
their employment somewhat as
flying jeeps" or flying two and a
half ton trucks"
Helicopters will supplement and
replace, in part, the arnys vehic-
ular transport. 1t is considered q
logical step in the modernization
and improvement of organic army
transport.
In the past, the army has employ
ed organic aircraft for reconnais-
sance and field artillery control. A
portion of funds for research and
development purposes has been ear
marked for improving rotary-swing
! aircraft and other aircraft with
similar characteristics which can be
used effectively by the army II
combat operations.

CARPENTERS UNION SAWS OFF $2oo FOR
 MEMORIAL LIBRARY

The. chips flew this morning as Dr. James c. Ryan, board member of the Juneau Memorial Library fund, opened the mail and out bug zed clear grained solid mahogany pledge for $200 from the Juneau Local 2247 of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners.
 Blueprint for the pledge was made up at the last meeting of the ap- proximately 100 members of the A. F. of L. affiliate. The pledge was signed by E. H. Hill, business agent for the local. Earl Estep is the groups president.
 This 200 board feet of timber brings the needed money down to just $2,415.19 to be collected to erect the $140,000 structure. Seventy thousand dollars is sought by pop ular subscription, to be matched by federal funds through the agency of the General Services Administra- ton.
 Dr. Ryan said there wasn't bit of sawdust in the envelope, either.
 The Juneau painters union re- gently contributed large sum to the drive, and the carpenters de- cided that in order for the painters to have something to daub, they should contribute a good-sized plank.
 The pledge was turned over to B. D. Stewart, acting chairman ot the drive in the absence in Wash ington of B. Frank Heintzleman, re- gional forester.
 The carpenters donation, brings the sum collected this week to al- most $1,0OO, Stewart said, Two months ago there was around sl4.- 900 left, and less than month be- fore that around $23000 wa, needed.
 The drive has actually gone into a nose-dive recently, with the end now just around the corner, But of course there's still $2,415.19 worth of turning to do before that corner is actually negotiated. oa

UTA GETS BOOST IN
 MINIMUM PRICES
 FOR KING SALMON

Minimum prices which will bt paid members of the United Trol- lers of Alaska for their red king salmon this season have heen peg ged two cents per pounc above last years minimums.
 This was announced today by Andy Barlow, executive secretary of Local 100, UTA, and head ot the trollers group which met VI. fish buyers in Ketchikan last week He returned to Juneau yesterday
 Terming the contract negotia- tions the most agreeable" he had ever run into, Barlow said they resulted in an increase in the min imum' price for large red kings from the 1929 price of 29 cents to 31 cents per pound. Minimum price set for small red kings was 2l cents, also a two-cent increase over last year.
 Minimum price for white king salmon has been upped from the l949 price of l9 cents to 20 cents per pound.
 The new contract, accepted by buyers and fish company agents, set the packing charge at the same figure as last year. The packing charge is the difference between on-the-grounds prices and dockside prices.
 Elton Engstrom, representing Engstrom Brothers, was first to sign the contract, Barlow said.
 It has been decided to hold contract negotiations on minimum prices for silver, or coho, salmon on July l in Juneau, Barlow said. This will mark the first time in the history of UTA that contracts for coho prices will be negotiated.
 The prices arrived at will go in- to effect with the coming of the large run of silvers July IS, Bar low said.
 A new provision in the king salmon contract win permit Hsh buyers to deduct money for union dues from fishermen wishing to join UTA and take advantage Of the unions contract with fish buyers.
 Barlow said the UTA represent atives were cheered during nego- tiations to receive telegram from the Sitka Chamber of Commerce wishing them success in securing adequate fish prices for the sea- son."

SPENCER WAS CHURCH SINGER
 WHILE STUDYING

Churches have played a signifi- cant part in the musical develop ment of Kenneth Spencer, famous basso who will appear kere tonight at 9 o'clock at the 20th Century Theatre in concert, sponsored by the Juneau Concert Association.
 As scholarship student of the Eastman School of Music, he ar rived in Rochester, NY, penniless. Calling at parsonage, he offered to sing in the church in exchange for his supper. Later, he helped support himself by tending clergy mems furnaces. During the summer months he sang in Canadian churches.
 A Methodist minister was instru- mental in helping him along his concert route and, Kenneth Spen- cer believes, he at some time sang in every little church in Iowa. At least he remembers five appear ances during the week and two on Sunday. But, he adds, he loved every minute of it and this is be- cause Spencer is sincerely interested in religion.
 Juneau audience will have the opportunity of hearing this famous voice tonight, his concert scheduled to start at 9 o'clock.

BIRD BANDS RETURN INLARGE NUMBERS TO
 SERVICE BIOLOGISTS

With more bands returning this year than ever before to Fish and Wildlife Service biologists who last year banded more than 2,600 waterfowl in Alaskan areas, pie ture is beginning to form concern ing migratory habits of these fowl, according to Urban c. Nelson, lead ing biologist for the service.
 Before 1949. less than 800 birds had been banded in the north during all the years Alaska has been under United States control, making any attempt at research hit-or-miss proposition.
 Federal aid to wildlife grants stepped up the program, with four two-man teams in the field last year to run down, capture and band 2,634 waterfowl in areas throughout the Territory.
 Most recent returns Nelson has compiled include one pintail duck shot in Tule Lake, Calf. last fall, which had been banded July 26 on the Colville River, in the high Arctic. These birds were belieA.d to have followed the midwest fly away, but with this return the second from the west coast, it might show they follow the coast line instead. Nelson said, although more bands must come in before anything can be decided for sure.
 Nelson found in his notes that he had banded the bird himself, one of three captured that day. He and his partnes worked from am. to Il pm, getting up to find frost on their tent.
 Another returned band was from a mallard duck banded IA years ago near Corvallis, Ore, and shot last fall by Miss Pauline Albert near Northway, Alaska.
 Of all birds banded, the service usually gets from to 8 per cent returns, from which they base their data.
