FWS Explores AbaIone Resources for AIosk0 Off-Seoson Fishing

New information on the occur ence and extent of abalone re- sources in southeastern Alaska will be obtained from exploratory fishing operations which the Fish and Wildlife Service is undertak- ing currently. It is hoped that the work will indicate some possibili- ty Sr a new off-season fishery in Alaska for abalone.
 Since it is believed that the main beds of the shellfish lie well below the surface, deep-sea div ing is being tried. The services of w. E. Walker, an experienced diver of Ketchikan, his boat, the Lady Bess, and a tender, Bob Cawthon of Ketchikan, have been chartered for the work. Robert Livingstone, fishery engineer, ex- ploratory fishing and gear devel- opment section, Fish and Wild life Service, Seattle, is in charge of the investigation.

Dear Friends in Palmer:
 By the time you read this, I'll be back at good old Oklahoma A & M college for another year of study.
 I'd like to take this means of saying thanks" to all the friend ly folks I've met in Palmer this summer for making my vacation in Alaska such a pleasant one. It's been fun knowing you in one way or another-working with the Wiggins gang-living at the dornitory, putting in a few spare hours over at the Palmer Drug store, etc.
 Barring unforeseen circumstan- ces, I'll be back again next sum-

Letters 10 the Editor

Athletics in Palmer need our support-aS was in evidence this past season. There was consider able baseball activity during the early season and gave some prom ise of good games for the Fair. The Juniors kept up their prac- ice, but the promise of uniforms and equipment did not material ize, due to the fact that orders were placed too late for delivery this year.
 Junior league and the Pee-Wee Little Leaguers teams of Anchor age and military organizations had an active tournament this past year, and Palmer and Wa silla should have a part in next years tournament.
 Parents should support us in getting our youngsters organized tand in training for foot racing, bicycling and all track activities. Field day next year should see a big event here in Palmer.
 We need a new grandstand, one that could accommodate 2,0O0 people; when we can seat that number of people, we can make athletic sports carry all necessary expenses. We could make three ball diamonds and three tennis courts on the Fairgrounds to care for practice games and thereby assure wonderful sport features next fall.
 Now is the time to plan these sports and I am sure the Fair Association will be glad to CO., operate with any and all organiz- ations interested.
 The Grange, Moose, Elks, Am erican Legion, Veterans of For eign Wars and local business firms should join in and work out a program. What say?
 M. D. Snodgrass.
 Editors Comment: Just for the record, we'd like to point out that the local Moose and Coach Jack Leek. in particular, did creditable job in organizing Little League baseball in Pal mer this past summer. Without a doubt. they need plenty of cooperation on inc part of other organizations and parents in making their efforts more suc- cessful next year. One of their qreatest needs last summer was for more boys to PLAY BALL.

Peculiar Problems of
 Alaskan Construction Solved After 4 Years


 tractors for Corps of Engineer construction contracts in Alaska is the purpose of Gil Pearson. Technical Information Officer, at the Alaska District Engineers Of flee here.
 Proposed construction plans for the 1952-1953 season soon to be revealed in detail are suffici- ently broad in scope to interest most types of contractors, here and throughout the states" Pear son said today. "Stateside con- tractors should understand that most construction problems, pe- culiar to Alaska by reason of eli matic conditions, have been solv- ed during the past four years of the current building program. Many facilities to contractors are available on the Alaskan Corps of Engineer projects. These and other details appear in the 1852 1858 Prospectus of Construction, now being prepared for release"
 The Technical Information Of flee method of reaching prospec- tive bidders is to disseminate last minute construction information through Is Alaskan newspapers, 8 Alaskan radio stations, Seattle newspapers, the United Press, the Associated Press and 63 contrac- tor and engineer stateside maga- zines. Locally, latest Alaskan Corps of Engineers news is fea- tured daily over radio station KENI in Anchorage on the pro- gram DAILY CONSTRUCTION NEWS each weekday morning at 7:25 am.
 Pearson has just concluded a field trip through most of the con- struction projects in the Territory for the purpose of developing copy for stateside publication. At close hand he analysed multiple construction at Whittier Ladd and Eielson Air Force Bases, Fort Richardson and Elmendorf AFB. He was escorting Douglas Mac Rae, field photo-writer for the Pacific Builder and Engineer, a construction magazine with na- tionwide leadership. MacRae will author a series of articles illus trating design and method. Ot the trip, MacRae said:
 'This recent battle-ground ob- servation of construction methods and working conditions clearly indicates that contractors in AL aska are not confronted with in- surmountable construction prob lens. It is obvious that early ob- stacles have been admirably over come and that the facilities now available to the contractor are sufficient to assure him that com pleting contract in Alaska is nc more of a trick than it is in the . states"

Truman vefoes Bill
To Extend Car Grants
To More Veterans

President Truman yesterday
vetoed legislation to give 81, 800
toward the purchase of an au-
tomobile to more than 9.400 World
War II veterans and q "substan-
tial number" of Korean veterans
who have scrvice-connected dis
abilities Of the upper extremities
or seriously impaired vision.
The legislation is along the
President disapproved two years
ago.
In effect it would extend cover
age Of automobile grant legisla-
tion. which now applies to World
War II veterans who have lost
one or both legs. The new bill
would have provided for those
losing the use of one or both
hands or feet or for defective
sight 'to a prescribed degree"
In citing his objection to the
measure. the President said:
"The factor of materially dimin-
ished mobility. which was an un-
derlying basis of the original pro-
gram of automobiles for disabled
World War II veterans with an in
| jury or loss Of lower limbs, would
be largely disregarded in the cases
Of the relatively large group of
veterans with disabilities Of the
upper extremities who would be
brought In by this bill. In addi-
ton. this proposal would dispense
with the requirement of the orig
inal program that the veteran
must be able to drive the vehicle.
The President added that the
question of policy involved here
should certainly be determined
on a more solid basis than the
theory that the proposed benefit
lis a desirable convenience. The
proper test is whether 1t would be
a necessary, sound and substantial
part OF the program of rehabilita-
tion and readjuStment which the
Government is obligated to pro-
vide for veterans seriously dis
abled in the service"
Mr.. Truman said the earlier pro-
gram was based on the idea of
helping a disabled veteran in a
way that best equips him to over
come service disability. The pres
ent measure does not carry on
that policy, he said,
