Beryl Ore Wanted By Outside Firms.

Several large United States industrial concerns have con- tacted the Alaska Development Board during the past month re- garding the availability of beryl ore in the Territory.
 Beryl, high on the list of stra- tegic and critical minerals re- quired in the national defense program, is used in the manu facture of scientific instruments and in atomic energy develop ments. The US. depends upon foreign sources for 95 per cent of it's yearly requirements.
 Demand for this mineral, if found in commercial quantities in Alaska, runs into the thou sands of tons, one firm stating that almost unlimited quantities could be absorbed by industry at the present time Another company is interested in deVel- oping beryl properties in the Territory.
 Ore containing 10 per cent BeO is worth about $500 per ton, a factor which should at tract the attention of Alaska prospectors. Because of its color white, yellow, pink and green -beryl often is mistaken for quartz.
 Although geological publica- tions report the occurrence of beryl in the Sinuk river region on Seward Peninsula, extent and grade of the deposits have not been determined. There are no official reports of beryl occur ring elsewhere in Alaska, but it has been reported unofficially in the Lemon Creek area near Juneau.
 Persons wishing to be placed in touch with interested pur- chosers should write the Alaska Development Board, Box 50, Ju- neau. Samples should be furn- ished if available.

Heol+h Department Thanks Magazine. Book Donors

A letter has been received from Dr. C. Earl Albrecht, Com missioner of Health, Alaska De- partment of Health, expressing thanks to the volunteer helpers who have been working at the Seward Sanatorium during the past year, according to Dr. Francis J. Phillips.
 The volunteer workers have been collecting and distributing magazines to the San patients, many of whom, having nothing much else to do, read vora- ciously..
 In turn, the workers thank all the Seward people who bring in magazines for distribution to the San, and especially thank those people who have made a regular weekly practice of talk ing in the current issues. The magazines are taken to the downtown stores, McMullen's in particular, and are picked up from there by the volunteer workers, who take them to the San, load them on book carts, and distribute them to the pa tients.
 It has been estimated that some of the workers have, dur ing the past year, transported at least three tons of magazines a piece.
 The women who do the vol unteer work, some regularly one or two afternoons a week, and some on a relief basis, are Mesdames Carl Ling, Eugene Skinner, John Rose, Hans Hafe- meister, Harold Jacobs, R. C.. Inglis, Earl Cass, Irwin Metcalf, Lawrence Kirch, Lewis Nasty, Clarence Johnson. Ray James, and Wayne Gillies.
 Any other Seward women who are interested in the work are urged to contact any of the above workers. .=. .:-..

Housing Bill Passed Senc*e E.asf Week

The housing bill of 1851 which passed the Senate this week provides for continuation of the direct housing loan pro- gram for veterans through June 30, 1853.
 Under the present law which is due to expire June 30 of this year, the Veterans Administra- tion has allocated S1,043, ,0OO to it's Seattle office for such loans to A Ia s k a veterans. Through February 25 of this year 58 direct loan applications from Alaska had been tenta- lively approved in the amount of S485,000 with the remainder of the S1 million plus allocation assigned to Alaska after that date.

Good MGrKea G-o. Aidsku Mica

Wanted: Mica from Alaska
 Supplies of mica on hand in this country are low as regards practically all sizes and quail ties" it was reported to the Alaska Development Board by a large US. business concern seeking mica in the Territory.
 Confronted with dwindling stockpiles, more than a dozen mica firms have asked the De- velopment Board for informa- tion regarding the availability of mica in the Territory. Seri- ousness of the situation is em- phasized by the fact the US. is dependent upon foreign sources for 97 per cent of it's annual mica needs.
 With prices ranging from 75 cents to S4.50 per pound for clear sheet mica, interest should be aroused in developing known deposits, as well as in prospect ing for new deposits in the Ter ritory, the Board believes.
 Interested persons may obtain further information regarding mica markets by writing the De- velopment Board, Box 50, Jul neau. Samples also should be furnished, the Board stated.

Keystone Auto Club
Assai|s Capital Transit
Fringe Parking Plan

The Keystone Automobile Club
today called for complete rejec-
ton of a Capital Transit Co. pro-
posal to set up fringe parking
areas.
The clubs parking committee
said the transit company's sug-
gested plan was an insult to the
intelligence of the District tax
payers" adding that any further
discussion of the plan would be
waste of time.
1T is totally inadequate and
does nothing for the motorist, but,
if accepted, would do much for the
Capital Transit Co." the club de-
clared.
The transit company suggestion
to the District Commissioners was
that fringe parking lots be ac-
quired by the city in areas away
from downtown Washington and
the motorists then transported by
bus.
The club said that under the
transit plan the District would
have to prepare the land for park
ing purposes and subsidize the
lots if the cost of operation is
found to be too high to be self
sustaining.
Chairman Of the clubs parking
committee is Fred A. Smith. Other
members are DR.. Charles Stanley
White, Mark Lansburgh and Will
liam S. Canning.

terday praised efforts being made

It warned, however, that only q

which reads in part:
eve. as leaders in the commun-

support legislation that aims to
establish laws to puniash those
who sell narcotics; secure Con-
gressional action providing for
voluntary commitment of dope
addicts to the Gallinger Hospital,
communicable disease section, for
a period of 80 days or until there
is effective cure. and urge that
more consideration be given by
the public schools to the needs

Board Will ActDec. II
On Hoover Playground
Interracia| Program

The Recreation Board will de-
eide at its meeting on December
II whether to accept the recon-
Imendation Of Milo F. Christian
sen. superintendent Of recreation.
that the Hoover playground, Sec
ond and N street S.W., be made
an interracial playground.
1t is now being maintained as q
playground for white children
only.
The board yesterday received a
report from Mr.. Christensen that
the area surrounding the play
ground is 81 per cent colored and
that attendance dropped from
118.706 in 194S to 45.320 in 1850
This section is included in the
Land Redevelopment Agency
plans and this accounts for the
fact that between 30 and 40
dwellings are unoccupied, Mr..
Christensen said. For the past
two years the white people have
been moving out Of the area.
The board invited the following
organizations to its December
meeting to discuss turning the
playground into an open one:
Southwest Citizens Association,
Southwest Neighborhood Council,
Jefferson PTA Amidon PTA, Fair
brother PTA, Greenleaf PTA,
Southwest Committee on Hoover
Playground, Southwest Civic As
sociation. S. J. Bowen PTA, Sy-
phax PTA, Randall PTA, A. j.
Bowen PTA and Bell PTA.
The Langley Playground situa-
ton will be acted on at a later
meeting. The Langley Playground
adjoins the Langley School, which
last September was changed from
white to colored pupils. 1t was a
white playground. Since that time
the Recreation Board has not op-
Grated the playground.
The board recommended that
the rentals received from the Sea-
ton School proposed parking area,
at Second and II streets NV. be
used for improvement of the play
ground when it is opened after
the new school is built. District
Budget Officer Walter L. Fowler,
who is member of the board,
said it would do no harm to sug-
gest 1t to the Commissioners, but
he said they probably will refuse
because the money must go into
the general fund.
Harry S. Wender, board chair
man, said every effort should be
made to invite servicemen and
women to recreation programs.
Where a fee is charged the service
people should be admitted free.
