vaIdez C Says
 No Freight Iieup On Highway

VALDEZ, Alaska, oct. 8-P-The Valdez Chamber Of Commerce got it's dander up today over published reports of piled up cargoes and con- fusion on the waterfront here.
 It isn't so, said the Chamber. The report also was branded as false by R. D. Kelsey, the Valdez dock company owner, and heads of trucking firms here.
 The Chamber said five heavily laden ships have called at the port recently and that loading of north tound trucks has been normal. It said its checkup showed several hundred tons of cargo from the ships has been delivered to the northern consignees.
 Valdez is the port terminus Of the Richardson Highway, which runs north to Fairbarh.

Many years ago patient and inquisi-
tive man took thousands Of photographs
of snow crystals.
He found every single one OF them
based on the number s.
No one would suspect this, looking at
the snow; one wonders why patterns are
based on the number 6, and no other.
Everyone has favorite number. Per-
haps 6 is as good as any. There are
many queer books based on so-called
science Of numbers, but, like astrology,
these will strike the conservative reader
as perfectly unreliable.
BY combining numbers based on the
letters in ones name, one Is supposed to
be able to find out all sorts OF things and
to predict even more.
Fortunately for sanity's sake, the aver
age person will be able to accept the
numbers as merely mathematical. Yet
there can be no gainsaying that probably
every one has his likes and dislikes in
this respect. One will like even numbers,
and another the odd numbers.
The number 8 and the number 7 have
for centuries been regarded as mystical
numbers.
X
Consider one Of the most famous Of
all numbers, 13.
Most regard it as unlucky and perhaps
90 out Of hundred persons would refuse
to sit at table with that number
present.
Yet there are many persons who re-
gard 10 a. their personal lucky number.

This and That

They are always delighted when it hap
pens to turn up in their lives.
Every now and then some celebrated
case crops up in which mans birth,
street number, telephone, and so on turn
out to be 13 or some combination.
We knew one man with such delight
full series, but it unfortunately broke
down when he failed in business exactly
13 years after he started.
To get back to the snow crystals
Who ordained that each crystal, no
matter how shaped, should have just the
number sides, etc?
Thousands of patterns were photo
graphed and each one in some way or
other had the number in its pattern.
These photographs were printed in
book, unfortunately too expensive for the
great average person who might have
enjoyed it the most. It's price confined
it's sale to designers of patterns for
women's dress goods and related matters.
There is no reason why this volume
could not be revived and sold in a
cheaper edition for all who love the
snow.
While snow is nuisance in modern
city, it is still a great wonder, and the
infinite number of patterns in the crys-
tails make one realize it.
Sometimes an observer is fortunate
enough to catch perfect snow crystal
on window SILL If the light is good
and the specimen large enough he can
even see the number pattern.
When crystals are photographed they
are caught on black velvet. Their pic

T Asst WEEK. for the fourth time since
IL l941, hearing on the st. Law
renee seaway opened before the House
Public Works Committee. AS usual. the
proceedings were stage-managed by
Joseph II. McGann. clerk Of the COM
mittee and its faithful servant for 49
years. Once all the relevant documents
were on each members desk and all the
witnesses and spectators herded in, he
sat down at his desk in front Of the
chairman and began to take a few
selective notes in the Pittman shorthand
he learned so long ago in his native
town Of Cleveland, Ohio.
Man and boy. Mr.. McGann has been
listening to the pros and cons of the
st. Lawrence scheme, and could prob
ably pinch-hit for any Of the witnesses
on either side. An inland-waterways
man from way back. he's been wonder
ing about 1t since the days he worked
for the Great Lakes Steamers in Cleve-
land.
It was during the eight weeks off,
season in the office. when the Lakes
were frozen over. that Mr.. McGann.
then 20, was prevailed upon by Repre-
sentative Burton, Republican, OF Ohio
to come down to Washington and give
him q hand temporarily with the work
of the Rivers and Harbors Committee.
of which Mr.. Burton was then chair
man. Mr. McGann was reluctant. but
he finally agreed. Like almost every one
else who ever came to Washington
temporarily" he stayed on. Now, at
70, he has rolled up the longest record
of uninterrupted service in congressional
annals.
A spry, neat. dry little man. Mr..
McGann looks back over lifetime
of hard work and considerable change
in the congressional world he knows
like the palm Of his hand. One OF
those dedicated, anonymous Govern
ment workers whose job has become his
life. he is better at figures than at
names. But he can reel OF the nine
committee chairmen he has served with
out moments hesitation.
lis memory goes back to q more in
convenient. informal era in Congress.
when the House had only 357 members.

Czechoslovakia to capitalism and cooperation
with the West-"the camp of imperialism"
So DR.. Clements presumably will now be
placed on trial" for treason" in which case
in all similar trials" behind the Iron Curtain
he probably will confess" cry out his shame"
Of himself, sing the praises of the Great stalin"
and inform the court" that he realizes he
deserves to be shot or sent to the gallows.
Anyhow, that is what good" Communist
is supposed to do when he is found guilty" of
having loved his own country more than the
Soviet Union-the crime of patriotism, the crime
Of wanting national independence
Fantastic as all this may seem to Western
minds it is stark reality behind the Iron
Curtain. Thus, as Czech Red committee has
declared in venting its fury on Dr. Clements,
all are criminal pariahs except "those who in
the most holy manner love the Soviet Union,
the Communist Party of Bolshevks and Com
rade Stain" There could hardly be a more
sickening or more eloquent commentary on how
the Kremlin operates to hold It's tyrannized
empire together.

Earthquakes and Water Wells

The Geological Survey has announced its
discovery that earthquakes in Asia have a dis
turbing influence upon water wells in America.
Water in wells in Texas and Florida rose and
fell in relation to the tremors reported from
Burma, China and Tibet last August This fact
strengthens the theory that the earth is much
more single geological unit than some scientists
previously had believed. Water in the ground
is sensitive to- any shaking that may occur in its
vicinity. Recorder charts show that even the
passing of a railroad train will cause fluctuations.
Naturally 1t had been supposed that such vibra-
tions and reactions were local in character. Now,
however, 1t definitely is indicated that they are
global.
Perhaps the gradual increase of the heat of
the sun as felt upon our planet has something to
do with the case. Smithsonian Institution OBJ
say that the climate of the earth is getting
warmer. But part of the explanation of this
phenomenon traces back to radioactive materials
in the crust of the globe. The two forces are
working together to melt polar ice fields and the
glaciers of mountains like those of Switzerland
and Alaska Water released from those reserves
may move to very distant levels. Inevitably the
oceans will rise. That involves changes in the
volume and in the behavior of the volume of
water wells wherever they may be. The rising
and falling checked by the Geological Survey
in the two States mentioned probably was dupli
Gated in many other areas.
Volcanic activity in New Zealand, for
example, may have been promoted by water
penetrating the hot core of North Island, with
Ruapehu, Ngauruhoe and Tongariro constituting
"chimneys" for the escape of steam, smoke,
flames, ashes and burning rocks The same
theory has been put forward to account for the
explosion of Mount Lamington in New Guinea
more recently Mutations in weather have fol-
lowed these incidents. Exceptionally heavy
snowfals in Spain and heavy transforms In
California conceivably may have been promoted
by atmospheric agitation starting in the Pacific
hemisphere. 1t seems logical that pressure
waves however caused, have power to touch their
environment near and far, and 1t also seems
logical to take into account the secondary effects
and influences of all movements In the earth
and in its atmospheric environment.
