\ NORTHERN NOTEBOOK
By BOB DE ARMcND

ium, for example, impart canary yellow color to the rock-the imple- ment most needed for uranium ore prospecting is a Geiger counter. This is the most sensitive instru- ment yet devised for the detection of radioactivity and a good one for field use costs around S1o0
 Not all radioactive ores are sources of uranium. Thorium, for instance, is very widespread and highly radioactive, but it does not produce uranium. Thorium, how ever, may be very useful to the uranium prospector for checking his Geiger counter. It is used in the mantles for Coleman lamps and a mantle, either unburned CT burned, will give approximately the same Gieger count as uranium bearing ore containing one percent of ur- anium, a sufficiently high percent- age to make it very interesting.
 The House of Representatives of the Territorial Legislature has vo- ted to match the Atomic Energy Commissions $10,000 bonus for the discovery and production of 20 short tons of uranium bearing ores or mechanical concentrates assay ing 20 percent uranium, and at current prices that quantity of ore would be worth another $GS.000.
 To assist the uranium prospector in Alaska, Saarelas department is now preparing pamphlet on ur- anium ores and how best to look for them, and the pamphlet will be available in a couple of months now.

DENNIS WYNN K ENROUTE SOUTH
 FROM PR!BIL0FS

Returning from the Pr bilof Is- lands after carrying full load Of freight for the Fish and Wildlife Service operation and residents there the Service ship Dennis Vim, Capt. Pop" Dell, arrived in Juneau late yesterday afternoon and left enroute to Seattle. The Dennis Vim made the trip in place of the vessel Penguin, now in drydock in Seattle, usually assigned to the run.
 On it's return to Seattle the ship crew will prepare for it's annual assignment to Bristol Bay in May.
 Capt. Dan Drotning, skipper of the Penguin is First Mate on the Dennis Vim for the present trip.
 Passengers for Seattle on the Dennis Vim were Mrs. Florence Gronholdt from Sand Point and MT. and Mrs. Blake Kinnear and their little son from Juneau.
 FWS officials said in Juneau to- day that advices have been re- ceived from Director Albert M. Day that the Dennis Vim will continue to headquarter at Seattle when the Service fleet moves to Juneau. This is due to the fact that the ship is used to transport freight from Seattle and would necessarily make several trips g year to that port and to the fact that loca' facilities are inadequate for hauling the big ship out for over,loul.

airy tendency. One is the imposi-
ton of direct ceilings on prices
and wages and the other is through
measures to hold down purchasing
power by increasing taxes and saw
ings and restrict credit. In this
country, both methods are being
used but whether they will be suf-
ficient to withstand the strain of
the next two years, when defense
spending and war production will
be in full gear, is doubtful.
We do not pose as an economic
expert but we are quite sure that
the experience of the nation, dur
ing World War III and thereafter.
makes it good sense to make it
possible to avoid excessive price in
creases. Price controls seem to be
necessary and, despite the COM
plants of those affected by the
regulations, play a vital part in
preventing the spready of infla-
tionary dangers.

eighty cents a ton-mile. depending
on the character of services rem
dered. The low rate would apply
to the large domestic carriers, OPP
Grating in metropolitan areas, with
heavy traffic potentials. More
over. they are the more prosper
Gus domestic carriers and no
longer require a subsidy.
Other carriers serve communities
that need air mail facilities but, be-
cause of limited loads available,
they would be given sixty-three
cents ton-mile and eighty cents
for local or feeder services. Be-
cause of standby" expense, the
smaller lines, serving less-patron-
lied routes, would be paid for one
hundred pounds of mail on each
leg of the authorized route. This
would assure a minimum payment
of Az per airplane mile, or slightly
less than the revenue for carrying
one passenger.
We think that the bill proposed
by Senator Johnson, or one similar
in effect, should be passed by Con-
gress. The Postoffice Department
should not be required to subsidize
airlines by paying sums which are
well above reasonable charges for
such service. If the airlines must
be subsidized, the appropriation
should come from Congress as
direct act and not show up in the
Postoffice Department as part of
a deficit.
Controls Vital To
Prevent Initiation
Nearly everybody in the United
States, from President Truman
down, is in agreement that the
welfare Of the people of this coun-
try is threatened by the danger of |
Initiation and that if a runaway
dollar wrecks our economy, the |
communists would win the whole |
world" without firing a shot"
The President recently spoke to
the people of the nation, calling at
tention to the fact that the Defense
Production Act, major anti-infla-
ton control, expires on June 3Oth.
In April, the Chief Executive had
sent Congress his proposals for
new legislation on the subject, pro-
posing an extension of the Act,
with some amendments to streng-
then it.
The proposals went to the Bank
ing Committees of the two Houses,
which held six weeks of hearings,
taking testimony from more than
one hundred witnesses. No great .
hurry was evident and the proba- I
bility is that stop-gap legislation
will extend the existing program
until Congress can complete action
on the matter.
So far, according to the econo-
mists, we have had only a fore
taste of initiation. The psycholo- /
gical upsure of last autumn has
run its course, largely because de- |
tense plants were in the tooling-
up stage and serious civilian short
ages had not appeared.
The situation will be much more
severe this fall, with factories get
ting into mass production and
civilian supplies reduced. With
more money in circulation, as the
government pours out its defense
spending, there will be a natural
tendency to bid for available sup
plies, which means higher prices.
AS prices increase, the cost of liv-
ing goes up and cycle of advances
runs up the price of everything,
what the government is
buying for defense.
Two methods may be USED 10

mendation of the Commission. He
points out that if the Postoffice
had paid basic fixed rates for do
nestle air mail transport, it would
have saved over $40,OOO,OOO in
1949. This, of course, represents
the contribution" that the Gov
eminent made to the airlines of
the nation.
The bill proposed by Senator
Johnson would fix rates at forty
two cents, sixty-three cents and

DAIRY FARMING

The Agriculture Department re-
ports that beef is being given
preference over milk and dairy
products in the nations food pur-
chases. 1t points out that milk
production averages less for each
consumer than at any time since
the agency began keeping records
in 1880. The reason behind the
switch of farmers from dairy herds
to beef production is seen in the
high prices being received for beef
cattle as compared with the prices
received for milk and dairy prod
ucts.

JUNEAU. ALASKA
(Fronn A. J. W., Juneau.J

tOtfe <As - W ., VUftOUW@
The above clipping, from The
Evening Star. was sent to my sis
ter with the suggestion that
might like to help the lady on
Juneau. Alaska.
I came to Juneau in May Of
1850, having accepted an appoint
ment with the Government to re-
main In their service for not less
than one year. Just prior to com
ing up, ! attempted to read any,
thing and everything that was
printed on Alaska. since the little
! knew (and it was nightly little.
I must admit was only what I'd
had In grade school history. I
then decided the only thing to do
was to look upon the trip as a new
adventure, and it was just that.
I sincerely hope you will be able
to come, up from Seattle via
steamship rather than by air as
the boat ride this time of year
is one of the most scenic trips
imaginable. If you are in position
to make choice. / strongly urge
you to choose the boat trip. Only
in crossing Queen Charlotte Sound
is the trip rough and that lasts
but two hours. /
It wasn't until we had reached
the dock In Juneau that I had
any misgivings about having ac-
cepted the appointment. Looking
down 1 at all those strange faces |
of the people who were meeting /
the boat CBaranof was stricken
with the most horrible feeling Of |
"aloneness" and suddenly home"
seemed so far. far away. But al
most Immediately Juneau became |
"home." People are very friendly, |
as they are in every small town.
And Juneau is just that-small
town-which has adopted many Of |
the ways and habits of "big city,
It's completely surrounded by
mountains. even now, all / have
to do is look up straight ahead
(out of the Office windows) and
can see the mountains-or to the
right-and more mountains (snow-
capped at the present.. Really,
it's very lovely country.
For the past two weeks we've
been enjoying continuous sun
shine. tJuneauites tell me it's
unusual-the continuous" part
of it-but it's been as bright and
clear as can be.) The sky is over
cast today. but it's definitely
spring in Juneau. Spring is a |
lovely season most any place, but
it's exceptionally nice here. The
temperature was 81 degrees yes
terday, which is really very COM
Portable and isn't much below that
today. Most everybody has been
wearing spring clothes for at least
three weeks now.
Yes, we do have a rainy season.
I worried about that before I came
to Juneau, but it wasn't long be-
fore I was accustomed to it. You
see it's. not the heavy downpour
type of rain-nor are there ever
any storms-it's just a nice quieb |
fall Of rain. Most of the buildings
in the downtown area have projec-
tions which serve as shelters from
the rain while one is walking down
the street. I would definitely
advise a raincoat and rubbers (the
rubber boot is most practical and
everybody wears 'em).
And, yes, the summers (even
the spring. are warm enough to
wear cottons and rayons Cat least
last summer waS). The ther-
mometer was up in the 80s last
summer-not any higher. The
summer season of 1850 was one
of the incest I have ever had. It's
