Solution May
 Be Reached on Go Hearings

OOIllllld1lueT fdul OdNOillS StdtcSi today that he agrees with Congress man Herbert Bonner that solu- ton to the problems raised at the recent Coast Guard hearings will be made to the satisfaction of the government and the people in this area, and that the solution will provide for both maritime safety and the economic development of southeast Alaska.
 Comdr. Savonis made the state ment at the c hamber of Commerce luncheon held in the Gold Room of the Baranof Hotel.
 Marine safety regulations have followed in the wake of marine dis asters and Comdr. Savonis outlined the history of the Steamboat In spection Service, which was estab- lished in 1888. The Marine Safety Cc.ie still in effect today, was ad- opted in 1871 as direct result of the Sultana disaster that occur red after the Civil War.
 The Sultana WIS certified to carry 400 passengers but when 2.000 Un- ion prisoners were released from .Conlederate prison camps they were all placed aboard to return to the north. T..-s boiler on the ship exploded and i.500 lives were lost.
 Impressed By Testimony
 Captain G. w. Callbeck of the 18th Coast Guard District told the Chamber members that he was impressed by the straight forward attitude of the men who had given testimony at the Coast Guard hear ings. He said, T am sure that your efforts will not be totally in vain"
 Robert Boochever, Fred Eastaugh, and Jerry Mckinley were given vote of thanks for their work on behalf of the Coast Guard and Bonner hearings.
 Boat Harbor Expansion
 E. w. Bowling of the Chambers boat harbor committee reported that he had talked with three repre- sentatives of the U. s. Army Corps of Engineers and that his impress sion was that either a large boat harbor would be constructed at Douglas or that a small harbor would be built at Douglas and the Juneau boat anchorage would be enlarged.
 o. F. Benecke announced that new tourist pamphlet had been written for the Juneau Chamber and would be ready for the print CTS soon. The new pamphlet will have more pictures and less wordage than the former booklet.
 Seattle businessmen at today's luncheon included William T. Beeks, maritime lawyer, Don Davis of the fishing industry, and Robert E. Landweer, custom house broker, Other guests were Paul Warbler, U. s. Post Office Dept, Anchorage, Tim Casey. FBI, Juneau, and Riggs Mcconnell, attorney of the U. s. Department of Justice.

Atting Governor
 Pledges Support To Democrats

Acting Governor Joseph Kehoe pledged his active support of the Democrat Party in years to come in an address at meeting Wednes- day night of the local Jefferson Jackson Club.
 The hope is that the party in Alaska will lead the nation to suc- cess, he said.
 The final verdict on any presi- dential administration can. not be made before the end of a genera ton, he stated. Great positive ach- ievements are then seen instead of the day to day squabbles.
 He said that Washington, Lin- coin, Wilson and F. D. Roosevelt were all criticized while in office but have been judged as good pre- sidents. "So in a sense, Truman can't complain" he said.
 "Truman's record is an impress sive and respectable one," he said.
 George Sundborg reported that the door is not closed on the pos- sibility of getting portion of the $7,000,000 of Alaska forest road funds for the Taku River road.
 Mike Haas, secretary of the Jef- ferson- Jackson Club. announced that the Moose Club will award $500 to the graduating Alaska high school senior who writes the best essay on the subject of Why State- hood for Alaskan"

U. s. Forest Service office in Ju- neau announced the awarding of the contract yesterday.
 The plant will be built, Morgan said, on the north end of the Ju- neau Lumber company property. The main building of the plywood plant will occupy an area of 8O,O00 square feet. The building will be 400 feet long by 200 feet wide.
 About 50 construction workers will be used to complete the plant on the job of about six months dura- tion.
 To Employ 200
 T think this is one of the best things to happen to Juneau in a long time," Morgan said. When the plant is in full operation. close to 200 workers will mean rather large, steady payroll for the city. The employees will be well paid, and because it g steady employment, tine workers will be permanent re- sidents here"
 Successful tests were made on veneer logs last week brought from Sitka down to the Everett Plywood Corporation at Everett, Wash, ac- cording to Morgan. The logs were of similar quality to the logs which will be brought here from the Col umbia Lumber company's newly-ac- quired timber stand on Kosiusko Island.
 Morgan said that experts from machinery and equipment firms from various points in the United States were on hand for the tests. checking the efficiency of mach ines used in the operations.
 "The tests were very successful in every respect" Morgan said.
 Organization Planned
 Morgan said the definite acqui- sition of the timber stand with it's high-quality spruce, hemlock and cedar meant that hls company could proceed with organization plans and the forming of the corporation. He said tentative arrangements had been made with the Recon struction Finance Corporation for a loan.
 AS soon as this is fully accom- plished," Morgan said, We will close purchasing arrangements for the equipment"
 The lumber company official en- phasized that Alaskans would have the first call on the plywood pro- duced at the plant. The balance, he said, would be shipped to east ern markets in the United States.
 Regular commercial shipping will probably be used for transporta- ton out of Juneau, according to Morgan. The products shipped east, he pointed out, would be shipped on a through rate on plan now being worked out with three differ ent railroad companies.
 The Forest Service sale of the timber stand provides that Col umhia Lumber must cut at least 30 million feet of logs and not more than 40 million feet during a three year period.
 Forest Service officials pointed out that the stand was only a part of the timber available on Kosiusko. They also stated that the timber is of exceptionally high quality.

Results of the performance sum-
mary showed:
Conventional natural rubber
tires, 100; conventional cold
synthetic tires, 80; winterized
tires, 1903; mud-snOw tires, 113;
WinteriZed mud-SnOW tires, 126;
tire chains on ordinary tires,
286.
On some tests, and on some
surfaces, Wilcox noted, some of
the special winter tires actually
were inferior in performance to
regular tires.
The test revealed that changing
temperatures or sunshine made a
big difference, as much as l3O per
cent, in skid distances on ice. At
four degrees below zero, for ex-
ample, tires without chains may
stop in about 10 feet: but the same
care, at the same 20 m.p.h speed,
takes about $50 feet on the same ice
at around 30 degrees above zero.
This variable has led many a driver
to disaster. He thinks he's pretty
skillful, after no trouble on near
zero ice, only to lose control little
.ater. When the sun comes out, for
example, and puts a moist film on
the ice or hard-packed snow, then
look out. This, engineers point out,
is another reason for chains. Their
performance is comparatively con-
slstent from zero to melting point
on ice or snow.
Browning chief., 1951-01-12
Other Tests Made

The special winter tires were not
tested on hard packed snow That
Will be done in official tests this
winter. Previous committee tests
showed that regular tires skid about
70 feet on traffic-packed snow at 20
m.p.h. after brakes are applied,
and tire chains about SO feet.
''The tests likewise showed,'
Wilcox said. "'that cars with
hydraulic and fluid couplings
with standard. automatic, or
sem automatic transmissions
lend themselves to better con-
troll on ice than cars with con-
ventiOn clutch and transmission.
with the conventional clutch and
transmission on wet ice, which is
very slippery. hard brake applica-
ton can lock the rear wheels lust
long enough to stall the engine,
which will hold the rear wheels in
locked condition and may cause
the car to 90 into spin This ac-
cidental stalling of the engine is not
likely to occur with a hydraulic or
fluid coupling. and if it should occur,
will not lock the rear Wheels"
In conclusion. while the perform
ancc of several of the specialized
tires used in the test showed def
mite Improvement for specific con-
dltlOn over conventional tires, their
overall Improvement is not great
enough to warrant less care or pre-
caution when driving on slippery
surfaces with these tires than with
conventional tires. AS an example,
the stopping distance on glare ice of
the best specialized tire tested is
still about eight times the normal
stopping distance on dry concrete.
And it must be stressed that ex-
cCpt for several specific and un-
usual surface conditions, tire chains
of the type used in the tests are far
superior to the best of the tires
tested on snow and ice, showing an
Improvement over conventional
natural rubber tires averaging 46
per cent in stopping ability and
4lo per cent in traction ability.
These tests by the National Safe.
ty Cocncil's committee on winter
driving hazards were made TO end
confusion over conflicting claims
which involve traffic safety during
winter months.

1000 Tests Run

Nearly 1000 individual test runs
were made to test % representative
tread designs of various tires for
stopping, "go' traction, and corner
ing ability on snow and ice. The spe-
cial winter" tires fall into three
classifications: Cd Those with spe-
cially impregnated treads containing
"breakout' material such as saw
dust, peanut shells or rock salt;
others have steel wool, chips or steel
coils embedded which is intended to
be "abrasive"; (2) surface treat
ment consisting of multiple lacera-
tlons, knife or saw cuts, and (3)
various shapes of knobs, studs, lugs
or ribs. All are supposed to give
surer footing on the variety of slick
or impossible surfaces encountered
by winter drivers.
Ross G. Wilcox. traffic en-
gineer for the National Safety
Council, in summarizing the re-
suits, said that in general. while
the performance of some of the
specialized tires showed a def
Unable improvement for some
specific conditions over regular
tires, their overall improve
ment was not great enough to
warrant less care or elimination
of tire chains when driving on
slippery surfaces.
LAS an example, the stopping dis
tance on glare ice of the best spe-
cialized tire tested is still about eight
times the stopping distance on dry
concrete" Wilcox said.
eve found that steel tire chains
of the reinforced type are far su-
perior to the best of the special
winter tires tested on snow and ice,
and show consistent Improvement
over conventional natural rubber
tires averaging 46 per cent in stop
ping ability, and ATS per cent in
tractive ability"
The tests also showed, he said,
that natural rubber is 10 per cent to
SO per cent superior to cold syn
thetic rubber in stopping and trac-
tion on snow and ice, although syn
thetic is about per cent superior
to natural rubber in corncring speed
(reslstance to side skids) on ice.
Most passenger car tires in use to-
day, and those now being manu-
factured have trcads that are all
or part "cold synthetic rubber"
which wears better. Truck tires need
and do have more natural rubber
Tests Summary
Averaging test results of all types
on both glare ice and loosely packed
snow, both for stopping, turning,
and forward traction ability, the en-
gineers established a system of
rating" the overall performance
of each type of equipment. In all
cases comparisons were made with
convention rib type tread of natu-
raj rubber, or a duplicate tread of
cold synthetic. Results of the con-
ventlonal natural rubber tread were
considered the standard or baScline
for comparative purposes and it was
rated at 100.
