A contention that he was mis-

yesterday by Senator Russell
Democrat of Georgia) in a tele-
gram of zeb Harris, president OF
the Anchorage Democratic Club.
Senator Russell said he favored
defense of all territories. He con-
tended his previous statement,
sharply criticized in Alaska, re-

sovereign States against encroach-
ment of Federal power"
Mr.. Harris had wired Senator
Russell that his club unanimously

The Senator replied he would
insist on defense of the territory
and people of Alaska against any
foreign foe exactly to the same
extent that 1 insist upon it for
any State of the Union and its
people"
Senator Russell's original state
ment made November 80 in the
Senate, expressed opposition to
making of new States which will
fix an obligation to defend their
rights in case of great emer-

Rise in Minerals Output
Expected in Next 5 Years
BY the Associated Press

Production of strategic and
critical minerals is expected to in
crease considerably in the next five
years, Interior Secretary Chapman
said.
The increase, he said, will be
attributable to projected new ia
cilities built and operated by the
minerals industry with assistance
of rapid tax write-off authorized
in the Internal Revenue Act OF
1850.
Iron ore facilities will add UP
gradually to 1891 500 tons of an
lnual capacity. with a total cumu-
lative increase for the 1951-55 Pc
riod of II. .438, 900 tons. The grad
Iual, increase represents the calcu-
lated gain after the new facilities
have been completed in 1886.
The Defense Minerals Admins
tration has recommended accel-
Grated tax amortization for 246
projects. So far, 102 of them have
been certified to the Treasury De-
Ipartment, and the estimated in
Icreases in the output of metals and
minerals are based on the calcu-
lated production Of the 102 new
facilities.

Rule on Secret Data

An Executive order may be
issued shortly, directing what In
formation may and may not be
released to the public by Govern
ment agencies originating or ham
ding secret data.
The proposed order has been IN
the process Of revision in recent
months.
The Job was given to an inter-
departmental committee on inter-
nal security, operating under the
National Security Council. A draft
this committee worked out has
been studied by department heads
and the White House and referred
back to it several times. A COM
mittee of newspaper editors also
was consulted.
This effort goes back several
years when preliminary draft
was circulated among Government
officials for comment. A contro-
versy developed and the draft was
shelved.
DEVELOPMENTS in the atom spy
cases are reported to have led de-
fense officials to insist on revision
of the proposed order. These Off
cials contend that civilian officials
in contact with secret information
are not properly advised on how
to protect it.
officials concerned said today
that, in working over the old or

Significant Progress
Seen in Apprentice
PROGRAM in District

Despite complications caused by
the drafts, significant progress
had been made in the IL month:
lending July / in the local appren-
lticeship program, the District Ap.
premiership Council said yester-
day.
This progress report was con-
tanned in the annual report o1
the council to the District Com
missioners.
However. the group reiterated Its
Recommendation that apprentices
In the skilled trades who are
properly registered with the coun-
1cil should be deferred by draft
boards in interest Of national
security. It said the acute short
age Of skilled craftsmen was not
being helped by drafting appren-
IticeS.
Registration Increased.
The report stated that in the
12-month period, the registration
of apprentices increased from
1925 to 2.053: that 456 certificates
of completion were issued; that
registration Of 344 apprentices
were cancelled for various reasons
and that the registrations of 81
men were suspended for entering
the armed services. The most
frequent reason for cancellation
it added. was lack OF interest OF
aptitude on the part of the appren-
ltice.
The report declared:
ITO keep a skilled labor force
Of some $4,000 craftsmen con.
stantly available to the District
industries. 1t is estimated that
local employers and unions should
be training between 2,400 anc
$500 apprentices in 100 different
trades and crafts"
1 Handicaps Are Cited.
The council said that one of ifs
major handicaps is the need OF
additional staff, equipment and
funds to conduct studies and sur
veys and prepare printed infor-
nation material. The council also
needs a conference room where
night meetings with labor and
management committees can be
held.
1t concluded:
In view of the 500 per cent
increase in registered apprentices
fln the four and one-half years OF
the councils existence, and the
fact that nearly 1000 apprentices
have completed their training un-
der certified employers, the skilled

The proper number of nails
of the proper size in the proper
places constitute one of the most
vital parts of house. They can
determine to a great extent the
strength of any wood structure.
If you are making any struc-
tural changes or additions to your
home. you will want to know
something about nails.
| When you see a carpenter put
ting rough sheathing on the
frame of a new house you'll
notice that he drives two nails
through each board at every
place it crosses a stud.
That is, he'll do it if he is fol-
lowing the best practice. If the
board is wider than eight inches
you'll probably see him use three
nails.
If the sheathing runs diagon-
ally. he'll use three nails through
each board where it joins the cor
ner post assembly. For horizontal
sheathing, he may put four nails
into the corner post end of the
board.
All this is done for storm brac-
ing.
Then when you watch him lay
the subf1ooring or attic floors,
you'll see him use two nails
through every board that is six
inches or less in width. at every
point where it crosses a floor joist.
After the subfloor is laid, you'll
notice the carpenter return to the
basement to nail the bottom ends

of the bridging-or cross pieces
between joists-that he left hang
ing. And he'll use two nails to
tasten each end.
All that is done to give you a
rigid floor that should not de-
velop squeaks.
In all of those places-the
sheathing, subf1oor and bridging
-eightpenny nails are used.
Measure of Length.
That penny system of indicat-
ing the length of nails is one of
the first things to get acquainted
with in common wire nails. The
penny term originally applied to
the price per 100 nails, but now
lit survives merely as. a measure OF

nail is expressed by it gage.
