| U. 5. Rejects Low Bid
By British Firm for
Generator Equipment
BY the Associcted Press

The Defense Department says
the Army has rejected a low
bid by a British firm to supply
four large generators and 10
transformers for the Chief Jo-
seph Dam near Brewster, Wash.
All other bids also were turned
down.
A spokesman said the Army
gave no explanation for its de-
cision, but he recalled that under
policies laid down by the former
administration foreign low bids
could be considered if it was de-
termined that the national in
tereSt was served.
Joseph c. HarSch, Washington
staff writer for the Christian
Science Monitor. said in a dis
patch to his paper that the de-
cision was the result of two
cabinet sessions. He continued:
"The result of the decision
raises . question about the
ability of President Eisenhower
to implement his program Of
trade not aid as a substitute
for the dole method of foreign
aid" He also said the American
taxpayer loses as result of the
decision.
The low bids were submitted
by the English Export and Trad
ing Co., Ltd. It bid $4.406, ,493
to supply the generators and
1881, $50 for the transformers.
The Westinghouse Electric
Corp. was the second lowest bid
for the generators, with a figure
of So, ,996,363. The Maloney Elec-
trio Co. of st. Louis submitted
the lowest American bid for the
transformers, $2.204,086.
The Army is considering call
ing for new bids.

Statistics Show Home Fires Up

Residential fires are on the increase.
 In making this announcement the National Board of Fire Un- derWriters urged householders to eliminate home fire hazards dur ing Fire Preve ion Week, October 4-10. The Board cited statistics for 1852, which list 300,566 residential fires in cities of 2,500 and over-6,790 more than during 1851.
 Pointing out that careless use of matches and smoking mate rials continues to be the leading cause of fires, the National Board stressed the importance of taking the following precautions:
 l. Provide plenty of large ash trays. and be sure they are used.
 2. When emptYing ashtraYs. be sure every match and butt is cold.
 3. Never toss a lighted match or cigarette into wastebasket.
 4. Before going out or going 10 bed. be sure no butts are burning on tables CT under sofa cushions.
 5. Never smoke in bed!
 While there are many other specific rules for home fire safe ty, basically fire prevention is simply a matter of keeping the three elements of fire-heat, fuel and oxygen-apart. This means seeing that actual and potential sources of heat (flames, sparks, electric wiring and appliances, furnaces and heaters) never come in contact with combus- tible materials (wood, paper, flammable fabrics and liquids). Or, if the source of heat and the combustible material are already in contact Gas in the case of oil soaked rags, which can ignite spontaneously, it means cutting off the supply of oxygen (keep- ing the rags in tightly covered metal container.
 The National Board suggests that every householder make a thorough check of his home and his habits with this basic fire prevention principle-in mind.

SEWARD ONLY LOGICAL PORT"

Seward people who met Frank Kalbaugh last Tuesday were de- lighted with the new general manager of The Alaska Rail- road. "Affable, jolly and pleas ant were terms used to describe the impression made on people here.
 MT. Kalbaugh made an un- announced visit to SeWa ard. Word was received in the morn ing but not in time to announce his arrival publicly. The Cham Der of Commerce asked MT. Malin to arrange for a gathering in the afternoon. Telephone calls and word of mouth invitations went out. Ladies prepared beautiful tea table and a good crowd was present to meet and become acquainted with him upon his arrival at about 5:3O.
 A few months ago, Seward showered Secretary of Interior Mckay with letters and tele- grams demanding a real rail roader" for general manager of the government owned railroad. The concenSus of opinion at the tea Tuesday afternoon was that their request has been granted.
 In fact, Kalbaugh stated that he is not politician but a rail roadman. But" he declared, "I am here to make the railroad pay!"
 The route to Seward was over the track from Portage which has been declared so many times to be in particularly bad con dition. This track HAS to be completely rehabilitated, Kal- baugh declared.
 He also stated that there is no other logical place to unload freight but in Seward. Although it has not been decided yet where the dock will be built, it is now quite clear that there will be one, and that the need for a new dock is obvious, Kal- baugh declared. Much thought is going into the survey and plans for the kind of dock which would be best
 The new manager is leaving this week for Washington for a conference with Secretary Mckay. He will try to persuade the Secretary to make a visit to Alaska before Congress con venes, but at any rate, MT. Kal- baugh assured the people of Seward, he, will ask for an ap- propriation of over $9 million for rehabilitation and dock con struction.

 Phil Durant was elected vice president; Mabel Lewis, secre- tary, and Sylvia Sexton, treasur- CT, a position she has held for several years.

He suggested the passing of a reso- lution to that effect to be passed through channels for legislation.

Former SeWord Boy, Richord Bornes,
 Aboard 'HiGWa+hd'

Among the five survivors of the wreck of the fishing boat HiaWatha a week ago was Is year old Richard Barnes, who lived in Seward four or five years ago with his grandmother, Minnie Barnes,
 The boy, now staying with MT. and Mrs. Fred Kielcheski, lost all his clothes and papers in the wreck.
 In telling of his experience he said the boat ran into a storm on the way to Ketchikan. The boat began to leak and the pumps could not keep ahead of the water accommodating in the hold. It finally killed the en- zine, Richard said.
 They put back to Hinchin- brook, but about 10 miles from Hinchenbrook Light the crew was forced to take to the boats A handful of potatoes, some onions and a haunch of bear meat, with a few blankets, were all the men were able to take ashore. They built a crude Shel- ter of blankets and huddled around the fire for two days During the night, the man Bur dette McGill walked off a cliff and was killed.
 The Coast Guard Cutter Clo- yer brought the survivors and McGills body in to Seward. At the time no one was certain of the mans name, but US. Com missioner Southard reported to- day that he was identified from papers on the body as Burdette McGill, single and unattached alcoholic He will be buried here next week.

New School Board Members Seated Wednesday Night

Mrs. Elsie Whitmore and Leon Lewis, newly elected and reelected members to Seward School Board, were seated off cially Wednesday night. They took the oath of office in the aft ernoon from Mrs. Sigrid Stearns, city clerk.
 The annual reorganization of the Board and election of olti- cers was also accomplished at the meeting, with Mrs. Beryl Wagner being named president. Thos. Howell was reelected treasurer and Leon Lewis was made clerk of the five-mcmber board.
 After examining the bills, amounting to some $500, they were passed for payment. The Board then discussed hot lunches for children in Bayview School. It was decided finally to put a bus on at noon to bring those children in to the cafeteria at school, as there are not adequate facilities in the Bayview build ing to prepare lunch there. All school lunches will be increased five cents in cost as of next Mon day. That means that childr n up to the fourth grade will now pay 30 cents, and all over that grade will pay 35 cents per meal. This is still the lowest cost lunch program in Alaska.
 The Board then witnessed a demonstration of automatic fire detection equipment and asked for bids on the cost of installing the device in the Bayview build- ing as we'll as in the central school structure.
 Other subjects discussed were housing for the new buses, mann tenance of the buses, and driv- CTS. These subjects were tabled for later date for final decision.
 Carl R. Carlson, superintend- ent, was authorized to attend the Territorial conference of school superintendents at Juneau later in the month, and the meeting adjoured at II pm,
