him into submission in a wild
seventh round last night at Civic
Auditorium. Norkus weighed 1913
pounds while Powell. who halls
from San Diego. came In at 212.
Norkus had scored an eight
count knockdown before the bout
was halted in 2:10 of the seventh
round.
Referee Rules 1t TKO.
Ringsiders first thought Referee
Frankie Carter called it knock
out. The official, however. said
afterward he ruled it a TKO.
He said he had not finished the
count and stopped the fight when
Powell started to crawl up from
the canvas.
Powell shot over a short right
to the jaw in the first round that
put Norkus on the canvas. There
was no count and Referee Carter
said it was not a knockdown.
In his dressing room after the
battle Norkus said: Certainly I
was knocked down. 1t was a
good stiff right and I went down
from it,"
Powell's Hand Hurt.
Powell, former San Francisco
Forty-Niners football player en-
gaging in his 18th fight, hurt his
right hand in the second round.
DR.. Don Lastreto, State Athletic
Commission doctor. said Powell
had dislocated a knuckle of the
middle finger of his right hand
and there was evidence of a frac-
ture.
Norkus, who knocked out
Danny Nardico in Miami last
February when the latter was
being considered for title shot
against Rocky Marciano, was
behind on the score cards of the
referee and two judges when he
exploded in the seventh. The
California scoring system is
based on IL points to the round.
Marciano, who refereed one
of the preliminaries. congratu-
lated Norkus in his dressing
room. The champion also said
he was surprised at the ability
shown by Powell with such brief
experience.
Gross gate receipts were S.
295.50.
AL WE'LL, Marciano's manager,
said before the fight he would
consider the winner a contender
for the title fight next summer.

communications channels may one day be sorely needed.
 Although the Northwest Passage along Canada's island-studded nor- thern coast was discovered in the middle of the nineteenth century, little attempt has ever been made to send commercial vessels along this route, or to establish indus tries other than the whaling of 50 years ago in it's vicinity.
 Last summer, however, HMCS Labrador, Canada's newest and fin. est patrol ship, of 1000 tons, eros. sed. from the Atlantic to the Pac- fife Ocean along this route; and two United States icebreakers- the Navy's Burton Island and the Coast Guards Northwind-explor- ed the western reaches of this historic passage.
 Nothing very definite is known about mineral deposits; however, uranium already is being mined in Northwestern Canada and the US. Navy has found oil in Northern Alaska.
 Obstacles to be overcome in de. veloping the American Arctic and in making regular use of the North west Passage are on the same

COLLEGE, Alaska.-Soviet Russia is years ahead of America in mak- ing use of the Arctic Ocean as a shipping route, as well as in de- veloping industry in Arctic latit- udes.
 That is the gist of study made public at the University of Alaska here recently by Dr. Terence Arm. strong, natural scientist of the Scott Polar Research Institute at Cambridge. England.
 A recognized world authority on the Soviet Arctic, Dr. Armstrong is author of the book, "The North ern Sea Route: Soviet Exploration of the Northwest Passage"
 Russian success in sending cargo ships along the coast of northern Siberia regularly is "undeniably a great achievement, and one which contrasts sharply with correspond. ing development in the western hemisphere" he said.
 This raises the question, he in. dicated, of whether the United States and Canada may not be passing up development of a re- zion whose economic value and

order as those the Russians have vercome-except that Siberia has more large rivers emptying into the Arctic Ocean.
 "The Siberian waters are ice. bound and impossible at least sev- en months of the year-in some parts for eight, nine or ten. In the remainder there is plenty of ice about, and this in turn causes fog which tend to be most frequent in the months when there is least ice," said Dr. Armstrong.
 A large number of Russian seR vices-icebreakers, meteorological stations, Photographic operations and large staff of natural scien- tists-undoubtedly were used in the Siberian effort, he said.
 Strict secrecy is enforced, how ever, on all Russian activities in the Arctic-economic as we'll as military.
 Something is known about the timber traffic arross the Kara Sea, however, because foreign vessels are permitted to follow this route in carrying these Soviet exports to world lumber markets.
 Foreign vessels first, call at Murmansk, the eastern-Arctic port to which so many American freight conveys sailed during World War Two. Russian officials board tn e,s e ships, seal up all cameras, and ac- company the vessels across the Kara Sea to the mouth of the Yen esei River. This artery is then

SOO icebergs were visible on tho radar screen. At other times, he said, helicopters secuted the course through the ice, and then sat down" on ice foes while waiting for the Labrador to catch up with them.
 If these services were available to vessels during the "open" sea son it would make the Northwest Passage well worth using. Captain Robertson said.

followed for 400 miles to the south to obtain the timber.
 The Yenesei River valley was opened to world trade briefly, in- cidently, just before World War I by company organized in Eng land and in the Scandinavian coun- tries by Jonas Lied, Norwegian.
 That war, and seizing of power in Russia by the Communists, put stop to the venture. It lasted long enough to reveal, however, that the Yenesei and other Siber- ian river valleys contain wealth of resources.
 The same kind of resources may lie across the Arctic Ocean in this hemisphere, Dr. Armstrong believ- es; and, besides, there may be valuable shipping econ m ies through use of the Northwest Pas sage: it would shorten the dis tance from Europe to the Far East considerably.
 In Victoria, British Columbia, the Canadian port at which HMCS Labrador ended her Atlantic-Pac- fife voyage, Capt. Owen Robert son predicted that within a few years freighters will be making regular trips through the North. west Passage.
 The use of radar and helicopters removes the uncertainty that dog. ged navigators of an earlier day, he explained.
 At one time his vessel proceeded in dense fog at 15 knots, although
