 Senator O'Mahoney tD-Wyo) told the Senate today the United States is acquiring fantastic in struments by which man now con- quers the atmosphere itself"
 He gave no further clue as to the nature of such contrivances. He spoke of them in opening Sen- ate debats on the $6l JOS, ,865 .030 military appropriation bill.
 A few minutes earlier he had mentioned that new bombing planes operate two and half times as fast and at two and a half times the altitude of World War II types. He said the radar-type bomb sights with which these planes are equip ped cost $250.000 each in contrast to the $6,000 cost of the now ob- solete Norden sight.
 Earlier O'Mahoney indicated the United States now has about 1884, GOO in it's fighting forces in the Korean war theater.
 He did this in praising the mili- tary medical scientists for keeping more men fit and on duty.
 Senate leaders knew of no op- position to the big military spend ing measure and hoped for final passage by nightfall.

Moore Takes Exception 10 $12,o00 Salary

The recent appointment ,of George Sundborg to General Man. ager of the Alaska Development Board, at salary of $12,000 per year has raised a question on pay ment of the salary in the Office of the Territorial Auditor
 Auditor Moore today revealed a letter lie had written -Sundborg. in answer to one received by him from Sundborg wherein Sundborg informed the Auditor of his ap- pointment and amount of salary
 In answer Moore cited Chapter 122 of the 1949 legislature which set the development board man. ager's salary at $7,500.
 The 1851 legislature passed a law which raised all Territorial salaries eight per cent Provided, however, that such increases shall not be applied to any personnel whose salaries are established al s5,OOO or more per annum."
 Moore said that he could not honor a salary voucher in excess of s625 per month until he has an opinion from the Attorney General on whether the Development Board has the power to raise the salary over the figure set by the leglsia- ture.
 Since there was no one appoln- ted as general manager during the last biennium," Moore's letter sta- ted. it may be argued thai you do not come under Section 5, Chapter 134 SLA f951. but the fact of the matter is that the leg islature did establish a maximum salary for the manager of the board"
 The Attorney Generals office said that J. Gerald Williams, at torney general, was due home to- day from Anchorage where mas been on business for his office.

SkiIIfuI PiIoting Saves Grew

full piloting by a veteran of the Berlin airlift helped save the crew of a falling B-l7 bomber which crash-landed 150 miles south O. here after an aerial explosion, two members of a medic rescue team said today.
 One man was killed but six
 others survived the emergency setdown Monday in dense forest
 between Summit and Talkeetna.
 Staff Sgts. R. F. Whirlow and
 H. w. Rushing, the first two
 para -medics to reach the wrecked
 B-l7. said expert maneuvering by
 the pilot, identified by the Air
 Force last night as Capt. Fred
 Grindle, Jr.. Berlin airlift vet
 eran, and the courage of badly
 burned crewmen prevented ad- ditiOnal casualties.
 Whirlow and Rushing, of Flight D, Tenth Rescue Squadron at Ladd Air Force base, baled out of a rescue plane when the B-l7 was sighted
 The para -medics said the injured crew literally saved themselves when the bombers No. 3 engine exploded and the plane nosed in- to dive.
 "They told us the plane was flying along normally when sud- denly an engine exploded with a terrific blast and burst the side of the ship, killing one man," WhirIow and Rushing said. "'The pilot called to us to put on
 our parachutes, they quoted the survivors, but suddenly the in- terior of the plane filled with dense smoke and flames came from the wing. Then the plane went into a steep dive. We tried to don our parachutes, but it was hopeless " The para -medics said the men told them Grindle stayed doggedly with the controls and finally pull
 ed the plane out of its dive close to the earth. pns Il hae too late for the men to jump.
 "The pilot brought the plane down into the trees in won-
 derful landing" the survivors
 said. "No one was hurt by the | crash landing but the flames i had burned some of us" When the plane stopped careen- ing, the men aboard who were able dragged their comrades out | of the ship. Most of them were | burned, some seriously. However. every man was pulled clear and then the least injured gave the | others treatment.
 Whirlow and Rushing assisted he injured, then helped in evac- uating them to a nearby area where a helicopter could land. Elmendorf Air Force base at An 1 chorage identified the survivors. n addition to Grindle, as: First Lieut.. John E. Raher, 34,

Construction of the Taku River nigflway bStweuii JuieaLs a1-A f,-. lin was approved unanimously by the Associated Boards of Trade of Gen. tral British Columbia and the Affil- lated Chambers of Southeast AL aska at it's annual meeting held last week in Prince Rupert. The road resolution presented by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce asked that Canada and the United States join together for early construction of the road. Only Alaska delegate at the convention was Susy Vim, who represented the Juneau Chamber Of Commerce and the Daily Alaska Elm pire at the three-day meeting.
 First concrete action on the road will be meeting in Vancouver on Sept. 20 when representatives from Alaska, United States. Canada, and British Columbia will meet with the Honorable E. c. Carson, Minister of Public Works for British Colum- bia to discuss construction of the road
 COMPANIES INTERESTED
 TWO British Columbia mining companies operating in the Tulse- quah and Cassiar mining districts will have representatives at the meeting according to c. N. Moore, engineer for the Consolidated Min ing and Smelling Company. Moore, who opened branch office in Prince Rupert this year, said that his com pany is actively supporting the construction of the road which will enable them to haul ore by road to deep sea location on the Taku. The company's Polaris-Taku mine was the largest gold producer in northern British Columbia last year with total production of 35,9O4 ounces. This year Consolidated ex- banded it's operations to mine for lead, copper, and zinc.
 Newest mining venture in British Columbia is the development work being done by the Conwest Explora- ton Company on high-grade asbes- tos ore claims on McDame Creek in the Cassiar area. The McDame claims were staked in 1949 by four prospectors and this year were sold 70 Conwest for $125. .000 plus 16 per cent of the capital shares when the asbestos company is formed. Me Dame Creek is located on the Dease River, which flows into the Stikine River, east of TulSequah.
 NEW ROUTE SUGGESTED
 MT. Moore stated that the Con- west representatives at the Vancou- yer meeting will ask for a different routing of the Taku River Valley road. Instead of terminus at At lin, the Conwest people will ask for an easterly routing which would connect their properties by road to the Alaska Highway. If this routing is used it would shorten the Juneau highway to the States as it would eliminate the necessity of going north to Whitehorse before starting down the Alaska Highway.
 OTHER RESOLUTIONS
 Four other Alaska resolutions were approved at the Associated Boards of Trade meeting. A Prince George Chamber of Commerce resolution re- quested that a railway be construct ed to link the Pacific Eastern Rail- way at Prince George with the AL aska Railroad at Fairbanks. The

 The situation had seemed to have simmered down in recent months, with little heard of 1t.
 Williams supporters have at- tributed the custer move to the rift between Governor Gruen- ing and Williams. One of W.T. Hams main jobs is as acting governor while Governor Gruen- ing is out of the Territory.
