Cannery Is Robbed

The Ace Trading Company, a G. I. veteran owned salmon canning company on Danger Bay, may be forced to delay it's operation this season.
 On arriving at the cannery this week from Seattle, L. A. Patton and Jack O'Donnell, who head the organization, found many vital pieces of machinery missing.
 An inspection revealed that a portable light plant, a start CT generator from a Buda en- zine, three gill nets, a purse seine, an exciter motor from the steam plant and a A. wheel conveyor truck were gone.
 Patton notified U. s. Deputy Marshal Clarence Dizney of the theft and a complaint charging a person or persons, unknown, with larceny and possession of stolen property was filed.
 ''The missing equipment and parts are a vital part of the plant, :" Patton told Diz- ney "and it will be necessary to order replacements from the states.
 A current strike and picket ing of all Alaskan bound can- nery supplies is now in effect in Seattle.
 The Ace Trading Company also owns the Reefer Clipper, a reconverted sub chaser, which is familiar in Kodiak.
 The company began canning operations last season at Dan ger Bay on Afognak Island. Several employees and partners in the company arrived from Seattle this week to begin putting the plant in operation.

Much Rain, No Water

Despite . week of rainy weather, Kodiak ran out of water Thursday afternoon.
 An excessive amount of water pressure in a six inch wooden main at the city docK blew a cap around 2 pm Thursday and within 9 matter of hours, the equalization plant near the reservoir was almost dry.
 The wooden main was carry ing an extra load because ear Her Wednesday a six-inch steel elbow on the line from the former army tank above the city dock had broken. Mil Vokacek, city water superin- tendent, had put the water users, customarily on the army line, on the line from the city tank.
 A check of the city equal;za- tion tank at 1:30 pm Thursday revealed it to be full of water. Vokacek left for the base to thread some six inch pipe to repair the steel pipe. While he was gone, the wooden main broke.
 Numerous calls from local residents, and the dwindling supply of water at the Whiz Halferty clam canning plant, which forced suspension of operation for an hour sent city workmen searching for the leak. The hospital also had no water during the afternoon.
 The leak was not discovered until around 4 pm and by then the supply at the city tank had dropped 16 feet.
 The break was immediately plugged and by yesterday morning, the supply had in creased to normal. Both tanks were again in use.

Statehood Chance Good -- Bartlett

Washington (R) Alaska's chance of winning statehood in this session of congress is brightening, in the opinion of Delegate E. l.. Bartlett.
 "I feel that there is a dis tinct trend in the senate to- ward approval of legislation already passed by the house, !" Bartlett said. The bill is now before the Senate Insular Af- fairs committee.
 Juneau (P)-Senate com mittee revision of the Alaska Statehood Bill was described in Washington as a tentative work sheet''. The revision provides for control of A. laska's commercial fisheries to remain with the federal agencies if the bill gains state hood.
 The proposed measure is be- ing redrafted by Senate In- sular Affairs Committee. A copy of the redrafted bill has been received by Territorial Senator Howard Lyng, Nome Democratic national com mitteeman.
 Lyng also said it was ten tative work sheet and not of- -ficial.
 Mrs. John Sellers, mother-of Mrs. Eugene Hahn, will leave today to return to her home Ill Philadelphia. For the past six months she has made her home at the base with It. and Mrs. Hahn.

Brannan Asks Boost
In 1851 Germ Crop 10
Assure Plenty Of Feed
Bv the Associotsd Press

The Government today asked
farmers to produce more corn
next year to assure plenty of
feed for abundant" production
of livestock.
Secretary of Agriculture Bran
nan, in making the call, said all
indications point to an even
greater demand for meat in 1851
than this year.
He said there will be no con-
trolls on corn production except
on voluntary acreage planting al
lotments. The allotments will be
larger than this year, but the ex-
tent will be determined later.
Rigid Quotas Permitted.
Farm law permits use of rigid
marketing quotas when supplies
are excessive. But quotas have
never been applied to corn. Grow
ers must comply with planting
allotments in order to be eligible
for Government price supports.
However, they may plant more
than their allotments if they do
not need or desire price sup
port aid. s.
Today's announcement had been
anticipated for several months,
because corn supplies. while large, |
are being used at a heavy rate
under a livestock expansion pro-
gram. Several weeks ago, Mr..
Brannan suspended all controls
on cotton next year because of a
very short crop. Peanuts and to-
bacco are likely to be the only
crops subject to marketing quotas
next year.
Corn is an important feed for
hogs, cattle and poultry.
To Be Announced Later.
Mr.. Brannan said his announce
ment should make it possible for
farmers to go ahead with plans
for breeding an increased num-
Der of sows and for preparing their
land for corn in those areas where
this is done in the fall"
Specific corn planting allot-
ments. which will apply only in
designated commercial producing
areas, will be announced later inl
the winter. Secretary Brannan
apparently wants to wait little
longer to get a later appraisal of
possible needs for the year ahead.
Corn is not planted until the
spring.

| NPA and Industry
Study Means TO Get
Alcohol for Defense
BY the Assoeioted Press

The National Production Au-
thority and industry leaders today
tackled the problem of getting
more alcohol for the defense ef-
fort-eSpecially for the making of
synthetic rubber.
Members of the NPA's indus
trial alcohol industry advisory
committee came in for their first
meeting.
On another front in the defense
drive, the new Economic Stabiliza-
ton Agency yesterday took in an
other official in its gradual expan-
sion. ESA Administrator Alan
Valentine appointed G. Griffith
johnson to be assistant admin
istrator for economic policy. Mr..
johnson has served in the war
time OPA, the National Security
Resources Board. and the Budget
Bureau.
Priorities Broadened.
Today, the NPA broadened its
priority regulations to cover pro-
grams that are connected closely
with National defense. but are
sponsored by Government agen-
cies other than the Defense De-
partment and the Atomic Energy
Commission.
Up to new those two agencies
were the only ones granted au-
thority by the NPA to mark or
ders DO" defense order) and
thereby require contractors to give
them preference. From now on,
the Defense Department also may
give DO" ratings with respect to
programs sponsored by other
agencies. and may delegate the
authority to those agencies them
selves.
The agencies and the program
involved were not named in to-
days order.
2 Plants Reopening.
In the industrial alcohol pic
ture, the most urgent trouble spots
are two Government-owned buta-
diene plants at Louisville, KY.
and Kobuta. Pa, now being re-
opened after spell of peacetime
slumber. Butadiene is a key in
gredient Of synthetic rubber.
Most butadiene is made from
petroleum, but the plants at
Louisville and Kobuta make buta-
dine from alcohol, and they will
consume alcohol at the rate Of
at least 120 million gallons a year.
The entire output of the Nations
industrial alcohol plants in the
year ended last June 80 was 1853
million gallons, though the in
dustry has a capacity of $40 mil
lion gallons year.
