GEOLOGICAL MAPPING
OF GLACIER BAY AREA
NEARLY COMPLETED

Completing his second and last
season of studying and gathering
rock specimens in the quadrangle
of the Glacier Bay area, James
Seitz returns to the Alaska Section
office of the Geological Survey, San
Francisco.
The rock specimens are gathered
for the purpose of determining
which areas are favorable for stra-
tegic materials with long range
view. The quadrangle in which the
geology was studied extends from
Geikie Inlet of Glacier Bay to the
Brady Glacier and Hugh Miller
Inlet. Typical samples or speci-
mems are, now being packed for
shipment to San Francisco for the
purpose of closer inspection this
winter.
During the winters study, the
area is mapped from which the
rock specimens are taken. In this
manner, when minerals of strategic
value are found, they can be INF
mediately located when needed.
Part of the summer was spent
living on the Geological Survey
boat, the -Par-Lit, while the rest
of the time was spent on Brady
Glacier. Kermit Bengston and
Du,joht Cromdoy, uhn assisted SeitZ
have already returned to the states.
The work of the three men has
been completed for the Glacier Bay
area.

CHANCE OF GL0BAL
WAR MAKES ARMY
BOOST TOO SHORT

WASHINGTON. July Is - R -
Rep. Vinson (D-Ga) said today "a
global war is real, distinct posi-
bility at any time" and American
forces must be built, up for that
possibility.
Vinson, chairman of the Armed
Services Committee, made the state
ment in speech prepared for House
delivery in support of bill that
would add year to the service per-
iod of enlisted men now in the
Armed Forces.
A House vote was expected later
in the day.
The enlistment freeze" already
has passed the Senate.
The House also expected to take
a vote later on legislation to lift
all limits from the size of the
Armed Forces.
On speed up schedule, it may
vote next week on giving the Armed
Forces the $10,486, 976. 900 in addi-
tional money asked for them by
President Truman.
Vinson said the United States is
seriously short" at present in
standing military strength" and he
questioned whether the expansion
program the administration has be-
gun will be enough.
He said he is not satisfied with
the plans for increasing the size of
the Navy and the Air Force for I
believe there is too much conserva-
tism in the program"
Vinson said Russia out numbers
the United States to in tanks,
more than II to l in military man
power and has almost 300 subma-
rines and "a vast air force"
On the us. side of the military
ledger, he said there are these
assets:
"Goyernmentally, We are far
stronger than our potential enemies
in any long term effort our sys-
tenn can outlast and surpass the die
tated, regimented system of the
Communists. Our industrial poten-
tial is the envy of the world.
Our seapower is vastly greater
than that of Russia and her satel-
lites. Our strategic air power is
unmatched anywhere in the world.
We are still far ahead in the atomic
arms effort and will probably stay
ahead for some years in the future. 81"

Even Critics Urge Higher
Taxes : Sawyer Says
We Can Stand Il

WASHINGTON, July Is - ZAP -
Secretary of Commerce Sawyer said
today the economic control powers
the administration is asking may
not be enough. He declared greater
powers will be needed if military
spending is increased further.
Sawyer was before the Senate
Banking Committee to urge that
Congress quickly give President
Truman the controls he has asked.
These include powers to parcel out
scarce materials to industries, to
say how these materials shall be
used, to stop production of any item,
and to fix the terms of credit sales.
Some members of Congress al
ready are baking at such a grant of
power. At the same time there has
oeen growing sentiment for a sharp
increase in taxes with the idea that
this would % put defense costs on
pay as you go basis, and 90 hold
down the inflationary pressures,
iessening the need for controls.
A rise in taxes appears certain
since the ADMINISTRATORS well as
some critics of it's controls program
is urging higher taxes.
There also is some sentiment for
an even bigger military expansion

The Interior Departments advisory
committee on Indian affairs has

The section would provide that

In telegram signed by nine of

CITY TO CLOSE
SATURDAY FOR
SALMON DERBY

This weekend, starting with the
first day of the Salmon Derby on
Friday. July %, will take on the
aspects of Fourth of July holiday.
Saturday, July 20, the business Of
the city will virtually close up for
the big event. Housewives are
warned that most stores will be
closed and if the family wants to
eat something besides fish. buying
should be done on Friday.
Among those closing Saturday all
day will be-: Case Lot Grocery,
Bert's, goth Century. California
Market. Home Grocery, Behrend's
Grocery, both bakeries, Thomas and
Juneau Young Hardware stores, all
transfer companies. Doubtless others
will be added to the list by the end
of the week.
Reason for closing is to give en-
ployees an opportunity to partake
in the big annual salmon event Ju-
neau puts on each year. Their civic
minded cooperation helps to make
the big event even bigger.
So, Thursday and Friday will be
the busy days at the stores, filling
orders for housewives and Saturday
will find the town practically closed
up-with everyone out dangling a
herring and hoping to snare that
"big one" to get in on the list of
awards for his effort.

PRIMARIES

(By the Associated Press)

10y tne Associated PreSS)
Democrats in four Southern states
are holding primaries today, with
national interest centered primarily
on Senatorial race in Oklahoma.
There, Senator Elmer Thomas,
chairman of the Senate Agriculture
Committee and a veteran of the
Washington scene since 1927 is try
ing to hold off the bid of Rep.
Mike Monroney, who has been in
the us. House IL years.
Monroney led Thomas in the Sen
atorial primary July but lacked a
clear majority because the total
vote was split by other candidates
then in the field. This time it is
strictly Monroney-vs-Thomas
Monroney has campaigned in the
second go-around with the argu-
ment that Thomas, as chairman of
the Senate Appropriations subcom-
mittee handling military appropri-
ations, is partly responsible for the
plight of US. forces in Korea.
The other states, in brief:
Arkansas - There is a national
angle in the race for the nomina-
ton for Governor, between Gov.
Sid McMath and former Gov. Ben
Laney. Laney is a leader of anti
Truman Democrats while McMath
has supported much of the Truman
program.
LouiSiana-The main race here is
for the Senate, between Senator
Russell Long, son of the late Huey
P. Long, and two opponents.
South Carolina Most statewide
races were settled in a first primary
July II but two Congressional dis
trict nominations are being decided.

WASHINGTON = A significant,
off-the-record meeting took place
in the office of the Secretary of
Defense on the morning President
Truman sent his re-armament pro-
gram to Congress.
Secretary Louis johnson, who had
previously hacked billions from the
armament estimates of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff. called in his most
vigorous opponent, Rep. Carl Vim
son Of Georgia, and said quietly:
Il need your help, Congressman.
You were right"
Vinson, the powerful chairman
of the House Armed Services Com
mittee, replied: We'll let bygones
be bygones, Mr.. Secretary. The
thing is that we all work
together to get the kind of de-
tense we need to win a war"
When Johnson explained the
plans for an enlarged Army, Navy,
and Air Force, they were virtually
identical to the demands Vinson
has been making like a modern
jeremiah ever since the end of
World War II.
A year and half ago, in de-
Tending a joint chiefs estimate of

SIZE, ARMED
FORCES, IS
GIVEN LIFT
All Military EnIisfments
Also Frozen-Measures
Passed by House

WASHINGTON, July Is - R -
The House today passed bills lifting
the ceiling on size of the Armed
Forces and freezing all military en-
listments for one year beyond their
normal expiration date.
Both bills were passed by voice
vote without opposition.
President Truman asked for
prompt action on the measures in a
special message to Congress last
week.
The enlistment-freeze bill was
passed by the Senate last week. 1t
now goes to the White House for
Mr.. Truman's signature to make it
law.
The measure lifting the lid on
military manpower still needs Sem
ate approval. 1t removes all Con-
gressional limits on size of the
Armed Forces, now fixed by law at
zoos 1892.
Mr.. Truman's request for $10.-
500.O00,000 of new defense money
provides for a manpower increase OF
100000 This would bring the Armed
Forces to about 100000 over the pre-
sent authorized ceiling.
Freezing Dill
The House voted first on the
enlistment freezing bill.
The legislation extends the term
of service for nearly 100000 men
now in the Armed Services whose
enlistments are due to expire in the
coming IL months.
Chairman Vinson (D-Ga) of the
House Armed Services Committee.
estimates it will affect 145,000 men
in the Army, $4,000 in the Navy.
and $4,000 in the Air Force.
Size Of Force
Another bill before the House
would lift the lid on the size of the
Armed Forces.
Before passage of the enlistments
measure, Republicans sounded en-
Uttered demands for an accounting
of responsibility for US. reverses
in Korea. They also called for
"house cleaning" in the State and
Defense Departments.
Rep. Short (R-Mo). ranking COP
member of the House Armed Serv-
ices Committee, bitterly assailed the
dust settling" policy of the State
Department and what he called the

by Defense Secretary johnson.
who's responsible for all this?"
he demanded.
We've appropriated $4,000, 00O,-
600 for defense in the last four
years. What have we got to show
for it?"
Earlier Rep. Vinson (D-GD called
for the House to get down to bust
ness" adding that the grim and
unpleasant truth is that global
war is a real and distinct possibility
at any time"

SCHOOL DISTRICTS
SHY so OF FUNDS
FOR COMING YEAR
Rising Costs, Increased En-.
roIImenf, New Districts
Throw Estimates Off

Alaska's 26 incorporated school
districts will be deprived Of at least
5 percent of their funds this COM
ing year unless the coming legis-
lature passes a deficiency appro-
priation of more than 100000, 1t
was announced today by Dr. James
c. Ryan, commissioner of educa-
ton.
The shortage is in the refund
granted each district by the Ter
ritory for operation OF its schools,
ranging from rs to IS percent OF
The total cost, depending on the
number of pupils enrolled.
Juneau itself will be shy $8,522.26,
DR.. Ryan estimated
If the legislature turns down kis
request for more money to keep the
schools operating as they were
planned to operate when the BIZ
enniel budget was made out, each
district must pare expenses by
approximately S percent or dig up
the extra money themselves.
The education =, commissioner
pointed out the shortage is by no
means the fault of the 1949 as
sembly. because it granted every
cent DR.. Ryan asked for-and DR..
Ryan in turn had presented every
cent each district had asked him
for.
Three reasons were given for
the deficiency:
l. Costs have risen beyond ex-
pectation.
2. Great increase in enrolment
has been reported almost every
where
3. Several communities have in
corporated since the legislature met,
and were not included in the esti-
mate.
Transport Funds
At the same time, the same thing
has happened in regard to school
transportation, he ss4d. A great
influx of families adjacent to towns,
plus added costs in contracts. AIS
piled up large deficit, approx
mating some $4,000 for the coming
year,
This too was no fault of the
legislature, DR.. Ryan said, because
they gave him what he asked
100000 for the biennium. The
first year alone, however, saw $178,-
035.16 spent in contracts, leaving
only S121 ,964.84 for the coming year.
He estimates it will take $3.50, 900
to see the children transported
next year, making the shortage
about $4,000.
Again, if the assembly turns down
his request for deficiency appro-
priation, districts must cancel out
certain routes, or shorten them, in
order to keep within their allot-
