ABB. Asks Restoration
Of Barrow Petroleum
Reserve to Public Domain

JUNEAU - Restoration of the
40 millionaire Naval Petroleum
Reserve of northern Alaska to the
public domain@has been proposed
by the Alaska Development Board
in the wake of the Nays de-
cision, announced last week, to
discontinue oil explorations in the
area.
The Development Board, in a
letter to Secretary of the Navy
Robert B. Anderson, stated that
interest in Alaska's petroleum
production possibilities is such
that it is likely development in
the area would be carried forward
by private enterprise if the gov
eminent reservation should be re-
voked.
The Board also requested that
data from the Navy's oil investi-
cations of the past nine years be
made available to the public and
that permission be granted to
pipe natural gas to Fairbanks
from the Umiat area where it is
understood to have been discov-
cred in quantity.
"That natural gas the Board
wrote, may have sufficient value
for industrial and domestic heat
ing purposes to justify construc-
ton of a pipeline to Fairbanks.
Our Board has done some prelim-
mary work on such proposal
Development of natural gas would
give considerable impetus to the
economy of Interior Alaska and
by so doing would, we feel,
strengthen this vital area from a
security standpoint"
Naval Petroleum Reserve No.
4 alone contains more than half
of the ga million acres of land
reserved by the Federal Govern
ment in Alaska.

FLYNN'S FORMER

BY JAMES BACON

HOLLYWOOD R-David Niven,
never known as Hollywood wolf,
is making sure he is an expert one
for "The Moon Is Blue"
He's got Enrol Flynn's former
press agent working for him.
Niven won't say whether the hir-
ing Of Flynn's press agent is any
more than pure coincidence but adj
mitS that it's nice to get pointers
from one who has watched the
master at work.
"You know" commented Niven,

''Soon my tailor, butcher and
paker were on the phone, all
screaming, Where's that 20 bucks
you've owed me for six months?'
Thus ended one of the shortest
publicity campaigns in Hollywood
history"
Besides hiring Flynn's ex.publi-
cist, Niven prepped for his role of
the wolf in the movie version of the
Broadway hit by touring in the
West Coast company Of the play.
Otto Preminger, the producer-di.
rector of both the play and the
movie, and +. Hugh Herbert, the
author, wanted Niven to tour with
the play with the idea of playing
the same role in the movie later
on.
They apparently didn't eonsid-

There's a million good reasons

German actors are used"
Preminger, formerly of Vienna,
directs both versions.
The German movie title is 1.-THE
Virgin on the Roof" most descrip-
tive of the plays context.
Much of the spicy dialogue of the
play is retained in the movie
script.
"Preminger and Herbert are
confident that it will be passed by
the censors," Niven said. AFTER
all, it would be passed on televi-

In 1884 he began a 15-year asso-

Niven, who was mustered out as a
colonel, had the longest war rec
ord of any Hollywood star.
Niyen said his first picture with
Goldwyn in 1884 earned him a re-
view in the Detroit Free Press
which he has saved to this day. It
read:

a rules change at the opening of

made in joint telegram received
from Senator'S Irving Ives, New

''The vital issue before tho Sen

statement read bv Mr.. White at
the dinner on behalf of the Leader
ship Conference said "is whether
or not the commonly accepted rules
and procedures which characterize
democratic institutions shall pre-
vail in the United States Senate.
Basically, these democratic pre-
cepts impose upon each new legis-
lative body the obligation of adopt
ing its own rules of conduct"
The conference called upon "the
members of the Senate to support
the effort to adopt a new set of
rules for this new Senate, includ-
ng a rule which will provide for

lority vote after full and free de-
bate"

Senator Taft expressed disagree

Gilman Theodore Berry cf Cincin-
natl that the Republican Party by
adopting new rules under Taft's
leadership had an opportunity to
stop bargaining with the Dixiecrats
and make liberal record free of

that the southerners did not al

not expect their support for his
welfare program.

holding that the Senate is not a
continuing body, challenged Sena-

at the opening of each new Con-
