Congress Is Urged
To Project Witnesses
By the Associofed Press

BOSTON. May 6.-A resolu-
tion urging that remedial meas
ures" be adopted to protect per-
sons when testifying before con-
gressional committees has been
passed by more than 500 clergy
and lady delegates at the 169th
convention of the Protestant
Episcopal Diocese of Massachu-
sets.
The resolution, which criti-
cized the methods of investi-
eating committees. was adopted
last night without debate and
with only two dissenting votes.
Earlier. Bishop Henry Knox
Sheriff., presiding bishop of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in
North America, warned of some
of the speeches that might be
delivered at the convention of
the World Council of Churches
in Evanston, ILL.,. next August.
He said: Some of the dele
gates are coming from a back
ground of socialistic government,
some from behind the Iron Cur
tain, and nobody knows what
they are going to say.
But this is one of the great
contributions that the Council of
Churches can make: to bring
these people of divergent back
grounds together.
II don't care what they say.
We're certainly strong enough to
listen to a few speeches."

the new test at a session yester-

Briefly. the test consists Of
placing a blood sample from a

with polio virus and other sub

placed in an incubator for seven
days. If the mixture turns from

AMM 0NIUM NITRATE DISCUSSED AT
 CHAMBER MEETING

Matanuska Valley Chamber of Commerce members heard about ammonium nitrate manufactur- ing possibilities and discussed the Palmer Airport at their August 4 meeting.
 Dr. Allan Mick of the Experi- ment Station told members of the visit this week of a Depart ment of Commerce official who was Investigating the possibilities of commercial manufacture of am- monum nitrate in Alaska.
 In bringing chamber members up to date, Mick told them am- monium nitrate is classified as an explosive and has been diff ficult to obtain in Alaska. This past season, he pointed out, Fred Zieke, then general manager of the Coop, negotiated for ship ments at S154 a ton, about $50 a ton less than estimated by the Alaska Steamship Company. This figure was compared with the lower cost of $88 a ton to farm CTS in the States.
 The cost of producing ammoni- um nitrate is dependent upon available power, other natural in- gradients are available in Alaska. The visiting officials tour in- cluded visits to the coal fields.
 Up to a few years ago produc- irg ammonium nitrate was con sidered a big operation. Today because of the demand, research has been made possible and small CT plants are now possible.
 The shortage of ammonium nj trate is a worldwide problem. Dr. Mick pointed out, with sales allocated by manufacturers. The shipment received in the territory this past season was 100 tons less than requested.

All Camp is Cancelled As Precautionary Measure

Because of an anticipated small attendance and an ap- preciable need for discretion in encouraging large gather ings, the All camp, planned at Kings Lake next week will not be held, it was announced this
 week by Dr. Allan Mick, direc-
 tor of Extension Service.
 The decision was made after conferring with various phy- sicians locally and in the An
 chorage area. Dr. Robert Will kins, Anchorage health officer, recommended strange group
 ings be avoided at this time.
 One of the most frequent sug-
 gestons offered by the National Foundation for Infantile Par alysis is that children avoid contact with strange groups. Inasmuch as All members would be attending from many different cities and towns, it
 was felt adviseable to cancell this week of camping.
