Soils Classification Analysis of Anchorage
 Area WEI Begin Under Survey Crew on Monday

The summer work of the Alas ka Soil Conservation District of- ficially gets under way next Mon day, when a survey party of five men under Thomas Day, of the Palmer headquarters office, be- gins a preliminary inspection of the Anchorage area. The first job facing the crew, made up of college students and soil con- servation personnel transferred from the states, is the land clas- sification of the Anchorage area.
 This work, done at the request of the Alaska district, will rate all the land west of the Chugach mountains, except the military reservation and the urban area of Anchorage, according to it's agri- cultural capacity. The prelimin- ary work starts Monday and the actual field work will begin on June 5.
 MT. Day estimates that the An chorage job will take his crew about one month to finish. When the Anchorage area is classified, the crew will transfer to Fair banks for similar chore.
 Men who will make up the survey crew include University If Alaska students Phil Stege-

SOUTH AFRICA BUILDING UP SECRET URANIUM INDUSTRY

PRETORIA, Union of South Af- riCa, tiP)-South Africa is build ing up to a highly secret uranium industry in her rich gold fields.
 The union government has launched a production project de- signed to extract uranium from previously wasted by-produCts of the Unions gold production. If South African expectations are fulfilled, the output may keep the west supreme in production of atomic encrby.
 Top secret experiments are un- derWay in a number of pilot plants along the rich WitWatelS Rand gold reef, the deposit which extends south and west of Pre- toria to Johannesburg.
 Successful production, persons connected with the project said. could make South Africa the worlds largest supplier of ura- nium, an essential atomic energy raw material of which the earth offers a limited known supply.
 Already the Union government has offered to sell her potential uranium output to the United States and Britain.
 The 10 to 90 mines along the Witwatcrs Rand last year pro- duced some 57,0G0,OOO tons of gold one.

US. "POint FOur'' Program Desired By 60 Countries

WASHINGTON, (P)-About 60 countries and dependent areas want to share in the Point Four" program of US. help provided for the foreign aid authorization now passed by congress.
 State department officials re- ported this following the Senate's 47 to 27 vote of approval for the S3,l20, ,550,000 aid bill.
 The vote gave president Tru- man his first major victory of the year in the field of foreign policy.
 Republican Senate leaders fought unsuccessfully to block if nal action on the bill with an at tack on the $35,OOO,OOO Point Four plan to benefit backward areas ot the world with American techni- cal aid.
 The Senate voted to accept a Senate-House conference agree ment on the foreign aid measure. This action sent the authorization bill to the White House for MT. Truman's expected signature.
 Congress must still act on an appropriations bill supplying the money. In this connection, the ec- onomic cooperation administration ECA), which administers the aid program, reported it would have $277,000,00O left over from the current fiscal year ending June 30.

Alaskan Peat Moss Is Good InsuIatOr
Anchorage Times

Soon AlaskanS may be living in homes insulated with peat moss from their own vast areas of mus keg and marsh, thanks to the in ventive mind of John B. Huff of Anchorage.
 At small plant on Potter Road five miles from Anchorage, Huff is experimenting with insulation block made of the lightweight, highly-resilient material. Afraid of premature announcements he kept his work a partial secret during years of experiments. But last winter, after living in a house insulated with his own product, he felt the insulation had passed its test.
 Huff'S experiments first began in Goodnews Bay, where he owns a small gold mine. He studied the native construction of sod igloCs and was convinced that turf could be cut and formed for commercial insulation. He cut thick sod blocks from the peat moss fields of the Sea Coast and dried them.
 The blocks were resilient, easy to handle, and inexpensive. They weigh two-thirds as much as sim liar cork insulation and can be treated for fire resistance.
 "The fields of peat moss are un- limited Huff states. "It is inex- pensive 10 produce as insulation. call if heatherite. Getting the right sod is important and selec- lion is not easy. After if is cut there is the matter of control"

Pan Ans
 Fares Reduced

Pan American World AirWays> 17-year history of service to Alas ka passed another milestone to- day with the announcement of a sharp reduction in regular all- year fares between Nome and Se- attle.
 James Walsh, PAA district traf- fife manager here, said the new one-way fare between Nome and Seattle will be S13O. The present one-way fare is Sl60.
 The new rates have been filed with and are subject to approval by the Civil Aeronautics Board If approved, they will go into eff feet on June 1.
 ''Pan Americans constant eff fCrt to reduce the cost of trans pOrtation in Alaska can be seen in the record # the past ten years," Walsh said. He pointed cut that in 194O it cost S234 to fly from Nome to Seattle. After 1945, the fare was cut to $2O0, and after a short time at $170, the rate, went down to $160. Twelve days from now it will drop to S130- slightly more than half of the fare charged between 194O and 1945.
 The new round-trip fare oe- tween Home and Seattle will be. $234-exactiy what one way ticket cost five years ago. The present round-trip rate IS S288.
 All fares are subject to the l5co federal transportation tax.

Western Powers TOCive Arms

WASHINGTON, (P)-The Uni ted States, Britain and France have announced a joint agreement to supply arms to the middle eaSt-for defense alone. President Truman hailed it as a move to stimulate increased confidence in future security" in that area.
 The president expressed this view in a statement commertirg 2 on the three-power accord reach ed at London during the foreign ministers conference early this month.
 Under the agreement, arms can be sent to both the Arab nations and Israel if they giv, assurances they will not use the military equipment "to undertake any act of aggression against another state"
 The agreement marked an end

House Votes For Year Extension
 Of Rent Controls

WASHINGTON, (P), The House banking committee voted 13 to 4 for another year of federal rent control.
 The bill provides, however, that controls will end December 31 in cities that do not vote to continue them until June 30, 1851.
 The present rent control law ex- pires at the end of next month.
 The committees action sends it's bill to the House. The measure, sponsored by chairman Spence O.-Ky0. has these main provi- sionS:
 1. Continuation of the federal rent control powers to June 30, 1851.
 2. Increased local option" pro- visions whereby localities can de- termine whether they want fur ther controls. A city would have the power at any time to vote out controls. Once taken off, no rent ceilings could be re-imposed in a particular locality.
 3. Rent controls to end auto matically December in all locali- ties where the local governing body or the people in referendum do not decide to continue the con- trols to June 30, 1851.
 Governors of the various States would have no authority to veto the action of cities taking them selves out from under the federal rent ceilings.
 President Truman asked for a renewal of the rent law in a spe- cial message to Congress April 21. He said Ca sudden and cimultane- ous removal of rent controls on a national scale would precipitate a wave of exorbitant rent increas- es."
 Labor groups also campaigned strongly for continuation of con- trols. Spokesmen for the CIO and AFL told the committee that if controls were dropped labor cer- tainly would ask for a new round of wage increases.

Latest Scientific" Fishing Boat Soon To Locate Fish
By Rowland Evans, Jr.

WASHINGTON, May 18, (P)- The last word in experimental fishing boast will leave Seattle, Wash, in about two weeks to search out new tuna grounds in North Pacific Alaskan waters.
 And if the brand new, $225,000 "John N. Cobb" has the luck of some of it's predecessors, say com mercial fisheries experts in the department of inteUor, south eastern Alaskans may find them selves an off-season industry.
 R. T. Whitdeather, assistant chief of the commercial fisheries branch, said in an interview that the new, 250-ton boat will be out fitted with every conceivable fish-locating device, including a bathythermagraph, which auto matically records water tempera- lures at specific intervals all the way down to the bottom, and supersonic depth recorders, by located at practically any depth. which large schools of fish can be

 Scouting out the places where tuna and other fish can be caught and pin-pointing them for development by commercial oper- ators is a relatively new field of operations, Whiteleather said. But it has been "very successful in some areas" he added.
 Tn 194O, for instance, the gov- ernment's first fishery explora- ton in the Boring sea was made.

 The best king crab grounds dis covered so far are off Amuk Is- places.
