1t is dangerous to write with
too much f1nality about arena the
ater, theater = in the round, or
whatever label is attached to the
suddenly popular intimate drama.
Not dangerous to life or health. of
course; just to the writer's reputa-
ton for accuracy.
Take us, for example, writing
SO cocksurely not long ago about
the Edison Hotel project in New
York being Gotham's pioneer
arena theater project.
The words had not begun to
wither on the newsprint before
there was a letter from Ted St.
Antoine of Arlington pointing out
that the Edison was merely the
first professional arena theater
in the New York area. The first
one. pro or amateur, was at Ford
ham, where they have not even
used professional Cor endowed)
football players for years.
Then there was Brooks Atkin-
son of the New York Times, who
wrote that arena theater in this
country was launched at the Uni
versity of Washington, Seattle
Mr.. Atkinson, who never has been
wrong before about anything, not
to this departments knowledge
came along some time later to
give credit to Gilmore Brown OF
the Pasadena, Calf, Playhouse
Mr.. Brown. it seems, was round
theater- minded as far back as
1924. y
Any further corrections any one
would like to make?

lLWU Charges Discrimination Against U. s. Firms

SEATTLE, (P)-The Seattle To- cal of the International Long shoremen's and Warehousemen'S union charged Wednesday that the army had discrim i n e d against U. s. manufacturers in a recent call for bids for 120,000 barrels of cement at Whittier, Alaska.
 William Gettings, regional di- rector for the union, said the local had wired protest to the entire Washington Congressional dele gation.
 He said the Whittier call pro- vided that all American contrac- tors would be bound by rules of specifications but that foreign competitions would be exempt from certain clauses.
 These, he said, provide a ban on convict labor, adherence to the eight-hour day, 40-hour week

EXPLOSION AND FIRE WREcY DREAMER DAIRY BUILDING

FAIRBANKS, (P An explo. sion caused a $10,OO0 fire and ruined 308 gallons of expensive and hard-to-get bottled milk ready for delivery at Creamer's Dairy yesterday.
 Owner Charlie Creamer said fumes from spray paint rocked his new $l7,OO0 combination milk storage and garage building. The blast shook awake some dairy hands sleeping in quarters some few hundred feet distant.
 Origin of the blaze was unde- termined, but Creamer said it could have started from a cigar cite or faulty wiring.
 Carpenters and painters who had been working in the building had stepped outside and the build ing was empty when the explo- sion struck.

law, and require the use of Amer ican raw materials.
 Gettings said a Bellingham firm, manufacturing cement, re- gently closed down because of shipments of Japanese cement into Seattle. He added that 42,000 barrels of cement have been ship ped from Japan to Whittier, Alas ka.
 Army sources here, however, said they were unaware of any call for bids to furnish cement at Whittier. They said, however, that such a bid call might have been issued by a post officer at the scene.
 Occasional exemptions to the specification rules are permitted, they said, but only on the action of a high-ranking official.
 A number of offers to furnish foreign made products, including prefabricated houses from Swe- den, for Alaska have been reject ed here, it was said.

Bristol Bayites To Protest Power Boat Fishing

ANCHORAGE, (P) - A repre- sentative of the Alaska Salmon Industry says residents of the Bristol Bay area will join the h. dustry in opposition to a proposal to open the Bay to power boat fishing.
 Elmer Harris. of the Industry, said residents will join the Indus try in opposition at a fish and wildlife service hearing today in Seattle.
 Federal regulations keep power boats from fishing in Bristol Bay at present. A bill aimed at forcing repeal of the federal rule passed the House of the Alaska Legisla- ture in 1949 but failed in the Sen ate
 "The residents are vigorous in their opposition and they have many reasons" Harris said heer. "The residents have no power boats to use and the Industry does not plan to buy any"
 He said that would mean out siders twill bring in their boats and take the fishing away from the residents"
 He said the Industry is opposed to power boats because of the prospect of having the season shortened and a big share of the catch taken by boats equipped with freezing facilities, which could take the fish back to the States for canning.

Alaska, Monday, November 6, 1850


Time Magazine in it's November 9th issue received in town this week give candid two page summary of the Alaskan defenses they see it today
 A large map explains clearly how completely out of the picture of defense Nome and the entire Boring Sea coast is 500 miles out in front of the U S. defen- sive position.
 It quotes General Kepner in explaining the concen- traton of air power the other side of the Alaska Range-"Alaska is shot deal" That, says Time be the big risk of concentration and any poten tal enemy could easily hit and wipe out the entire U S. strength in one darting surprise.
 This information is not to Alaskans who have been saying the thing and oyer again for the past year and that is that coastal defenses mpera tive to back up the heartand defenses That is why they have depored the closing of the only air base the coast, which is at NOme at such crucial time in the face of the international situation as it exists today.
 Time mazagine is to be complinented in the thorough way they have sized up the situaton and portrayed it to it's readers
 More people should know that twelve thousand good Americans are outside the line of defense and expend able in of war; and that is not the American way of life as know 1t
 More members of Congress should be made to real- ize that Alaskans willing defend their country the front line of defense if they feel they have sufficient military support
 Alaskans know the military defense weakness, Hearst papers have spread the it's readers Time Magazine it up again. How long will it be be- fore the military leaders begin to admit they have weak link in their strategy, will it be-too late?

SiciIian Takes Big Fortune
From Salt Water Annually

TRAPANI, SICILY.-Many are
the schemes and dreams of taking
treasure out of the sea-but there
is one man who is making the ocean
provide him with a fortune.
He is Rocco Ricevuto, owner and
manager of the Trapani salt marsh
es from which he is taking about
one million dollars a year. The
marshes yield about 200, 1000 tons OF
salt annually for which Ricevuto
receives an average of S. a ton.
Water from the salt = laden
Mediterranean is pumped into dry
ing basins where the hot italian
sun evaporates the water and
leaves the salt in a growing pile.
In 1943 fleeing Germans destroyed
all the plants in the salt marshes
because they could have been OF
use to the American troops" Rice
vuto said he still wonders how the
Americans could have used the
salt marsh plants for war purposes.
OBSTRUCTION "a carefully plan
ned and faithfully carried out"
Ricevuto said. when I came back
after the Nazi-Fascists evacuated
Trapani, I found that nothing re-
manned Of the plants my father
had built with loving care through
so years Of hard work.
"For a year I came here every
morning, and studied how much
of the rubble could be s~alvaged.
lone day, that was in 1914, l de-
cided that l must do something to
make the plants work again. We
always had a group of more than
500 men working in the salt
marshes. l called them to a big
meeting in the place where the old
silos were built and asked them to
help me out.
SIN two years I got my plants
running again.
Little by little we recovered our
business. Ships come here now at
an average Of n every week or
two loading salt for eastern and
northern countries.
'Trapani's salt is good for indus
trial use, so Norwegians and jap
anese come here to buy it.
"After years of loading the ships
by hand, with men carrying the
heavy baskets of salt on their
shoulders, I now have my new
chain system rolling again."
