didn't have enough ammunition
was not so unusual in itself -
because it has become a truism
in the Army that no field comman-
der lever. has enough" The man
doing the fighting always wants
more of everything - more men,
more guns, more ammunition,
more transport, and more of this
and that.
Senators are well aware of this,
but they aren't brushing off Van
Fleets inSiStent complaints of an
ammunition shortage as just an
other case of commander want
ing too much.
Chairman Saltonstall (R-Mass)
of the Senate Armed Services
Committee, a man not addicted to
impulsive statements, has said:
There is no question that our
troops in Korea were limited on
ammunition. There unqueStionably
were shortages. They are now less
than they were"
Testimony by Van Fleet and
others clearly indicates the plan
ners for Korea Just didn't antici-
pate the amount of shooting that
would be done there. Shortages
developed especially in los and 1885,
millimeter gunS-and according to
Van Fleet even in hand grenades.
One obvious reason is that the
war developed into stalemate-
"sitd0wn" in Van Fleets words.
And in such situation artillery
fire always becomes heavier.
But, over the years, there has
been a growing demand by infan-
trymen for more and more artil-
lery support and it has reached
its present peak in Korea.
Some military men will argue
the American Army shoots too
much, pumps explosives without
even seeing a target, and is waste
full of its ammunition.
But the man doing the fighting
doesn't take time out for academic
discussion as to whether he's
wasteful or not. The man in the
line wants artillery pouring into
suspicious activity in the enemy
lines even il an attack doesn't
develop.
A platoon wants the artillery
to help to pull back from a raid.
Line commanders want those en-
envy guns silenced which are firing
on their men. They call for artil-
lery to help them in attacking
And some want explosives dumped
onto the enemy held hills just for
the hell of it and to keep the en-
envy jumpy.
Add up all these demands, des-
perately important to the soldier
in combat, and 1t means a vast
amount Of ammunition.
once ammunition production
gets rolling, then--as someone has
said,-it will be running out of
our ears" The problem will be
where to store it and have it handy
for use. And Secretary Wilson'S
remarks would indicate that time
isn't far off.
But in any investigation Of am
mutton shortages, a congressional
committee viii face the question:
What is a shortaee?" That's an
other way of asking: "How much
ammunition should an army shoot
in attacking the enemy and de-
Tending itself?"
An obvious answer Is: Enough
TO do the job" But enough for the
job apparently means one thing to
Gen. Van Fleet and quite another
thing to Gen. Collins from their
different points Of perspective.
That's why Congress will have a
tough time finding all the answers.

Fairbanks Winter Carnival is Alaska's Mardi Gras
By HELEN SLIFER Jessens Weekly Correspondent

In Fairbanks, March first will begin a week of carnival, rival ling in spirit the famous Mardi Gras of New Orleans but conduc- ted on a throne of "gold camp to metropolis" in the Land of the Midnight Sun.
 This Winter Carnival combines the old with the new, with winter sports, indoor sports, dances, par ades, and exhibitions. And of course there will be the inevitable beauty contest with seven lovely girls wing for the honor of reign ing as Queen of the Winter Carni- val and representing Alaska in the national Miss Universe" beauty pageant to be held in Long Beach, Calif., later this year.
 The North American Dog Mush- CTS Championship races will take place, with entries from all over the northland competing for the top prize money and the title of Champion Dog Musher of Amer ica." This event is looked forward to by all of Alaska in this day of waning importance of the dog team as means of transportation and the increased use of the plane.
 In addition to the oldtime sports of square and folk dancing, spell ing bees, cribbage and curling tournaments which have been the winter life of Fairbanks residents in the past, such newer activities as a ping pong tournament, photo and art exhibits, hockey games, skiing and ski jumping contests will take place.
 There will be baseball game on SnoWshoes, reindeer races, demonstrations by the military forces, and Eskimos from the Arc tic coast will perform their fla nous ceremonial dances and play the traditional blanket-to game.

Give Tidelands to States, Says Mckay

WASHINGTON, R- Secretary ;of the Interior Douglas Mckay recommended Tuesday that Con- gress enact legislation promptly giving the states clear title to the submerged coastal lands. Some of the lands are rich in oil and their ownership long has been in con- 'troversy.
 \ Setting forth the Eisenhower administration views, Mckay told the Senate Interior Commit tee he was not indorsing any specific bill.
 But he said there should be prompt enactment of legislation dealing not only with the lands beneath the marginal seas but also in the continental shelf out beyond the states seaward bound aries.
 Mckay did not state any spec the mileage, but it is generally argued that these offshore state boundaries are three miles out to sea in all states except Texas and the gulf coast of Florida. Those states claim 1912 miles because of the conditions under which they joined the Union.

Destructive Wind Proves Value of Vapor Seals
 In Building Construction

The old adage "It's an ill wind that blows nobody good" was re- emphasized at the Palmer Agri- cultural Research Laboratory dur ing the stiff blow which started January 25.
 To determine which of the ex- perimental cabins were maintain ing the desired 700 F., observa- tions were made during one of the most windy periods of the "blow." 7"
 Only one of the four log cabins built in the usual manner was up to 32' F. inside temperature. Four similar cabins to which air-and moisture-tight seals had been ap- piled on the interior surface of the logs were all 500 F. or warmer. Identical heating units were used.
 Methods of using native mater ial more effectively in Alaskan structures are being studied by MT. Branton, agricultural engin- ger of the Alaska Experiment Sta ton, as part of the expanded Az ricu1tural Research Laboratory in Palmer, Alaska.

Cost of Getting Married Now Runs to $19.sO
 Just to Start, That Isl

JUNEAU, IT, Have you checked up lately on the cost of getting married?
 Or are you one of those people of experience who isn't concerned because this is one field in which you don't cater to the old theory of initial costs being the highestO
 Sen. Doris Barnes of Wrangell looked into the situation in con- nection with a bill she and Sen. Mike Stepovich of Fairbanks in troduced for $1.50 increase in the long-standing $1 charge for recording of marriage documents.
 This is the way the bookkeeping turned out:
 Pre-marital exam for two .... $6.00 Filing and recording ............ 100 Marriage by commissioner. 1000
 TOTAL ....................... S19.5O
 But the report Mrs. Barnes re- ceived from a territorial bureau carried this comforting anti-infla- tionary footnote:
 ''The above cost would be re- duced to $3.50 in cases where no doctor is available and the US. commissioner issues a waiver of pre-marital examination; and if the parties can find clergyman who will marry them with no charge"

Robert v. Fleming, council

A plan to take two inspection
bureaus from the Health Depart
ment and place them in a new
department of licenses and in
spection met bitter opposition
from Health Director Daniel L.
Seckinger.
Another proposal to eliminate
the present Department of Vehi-

functions between the new Ii
censing department and a new
department of highways and
traffic drew objections from
Traffic Director George E. Ke-
neipp, among others.

Two challenges of the member
ship of the board, already de-

give a fair and impartial trial.
The Commissioners were then
challenged on the ground they
