"All my life I've found it diff

can't comfortably break. So I've
taught myself to lie there and
not worry. It's getting disturbed
because you are not sleeping
that wears you out. If your mind
is at peace and your body still,
you can get considerable rest
without sleeping.
But when I'm particularly
keyed up" Miss Chase added,
Il find stretching out in warm
water is very relaxing. Some
times sitting in a comfortable
chair and slipping hot milk is
helpful. It's a great mistake"
she concluded, "to get into bed

1|ko Chase Success Brings Spark
By Lydio Lone

HOLLYWOOD. - Ilka Chase
disproves the theory that q jack
of-all-trades is a master OF none,
for she has achieved fame in
many mediums. She is well
known as an actress on the stage,
screen, radio and television. Her
novels and autobiography have
made the best-seller list and she
has lectured in almost every
State in the Union.
1t was good news to her many
friends that she was coming to
Hollywood to make q picture.
Lunching with her at Universal
international shortly before she
flew back to New York and her
attractive doctor husband, 1lka
was in a happy mood.
Miss Chase told me: II hate
to leave Hollywood but I'll be
glad to get back to my family
and my book"
She explained that she Is work
ing on the biography Of her
mother who for "a years has
been at the helm Of Vogue
magazine
"Its such fun going through
the old issues and seeing how
we used to dress" Ilka said.
But I've noticed that through
the many currents Of style. there
runs a basic stream Of fashion
which does not change. The
woman with taste looks well
regardless of the date on the
calendar. It's the classic line
which is always appealing"
I asked Miss Chase II she
thought it were possible to
develop q fashion sense.
Indeed I do. You can learn
good fashion like anything else.
Study the photographs Of we'll
dressed women, try to analyze
why they are well put together.
analyze yourself SO you know
what you want to emphasize and
what you want to conceal.
Being we'll dressed does not
mean you have to wear the
latest creations. While they may
be the newest they may also be
the worst. If the current trend
is not for you wait until 1t has
been modified. 1t always Is. It's
far preferable to be late in wear

IT never had q weight prob
lem but once in my life" she
confided. "I can comfortably
stay at 125 pounds which is
the right weight for me. But
at that particular time I was
not working. my marriage had
broken up and I was very un-
happy. I ate, not from the die
tates of my appetite but from
esS--and this is a sure
way to get fat. Many emotion
ally disturbed people have an
overweight problem. But instead
Of taking reducing pills and
damaging their health. or max
ing themselves miserable on a
starvation diet. it's far wiser to
work on Strengthening out their
lives. When they have found
a solution to thair emotional
problem. their weight problem
will take care of itself"
Most people struggle along
to make a success of one thing"
I remarked. How do you man
age to do so many things so
well?"
Success is largely a question
Of having a prepared mind. The
hope of good things is not
enough. You must be prepared.
I feel If you are well trained in
something an opportunity will
present itself for you to put into
practice what you have learned.

I've been trying to act. No one

 Airlines Discuss Possible Merger

WASHINGTON, R,-The two trade organizations of the non- scheduled airline industry, long rivals, have decided to discuss merger possibilities early next year.
 They are the Independent Mill tary Air Transport Assn. GMA- TAI, which has 13 member air lines, and Air Coach Transport Assn. oACTA), which has about 30. The smaller IMATA member ship includes, however, the half dozen largest companies in the field.
 Ramsay D. Potts Jr. IMATA president, said in an interview the decision to pursue merger ne- gotiations after Jan 1 was reached at meeting of IMATA members here last week Discussions earlier this year were truitless.
 IMATA also made public let ter from Fred B. Lee, Civil Aero nautics administrator, compli- menting the association's airlines on the fact that for more than Is months they have conducted worldwide operations without a fatal accident.
 Potts said this was accomplished largely through cooperation be- tween the carriers and the Civil Aeronautics Administration in achieving our common goal of maximum air safety"

Eisenhower Asked to
 Set Aside CAB Order Stopping Plane Service

PORTLAND, R-Senator- elect Richard L. Neuberger Tuesday made public a letter he wrote Saturday to President Eisenhower asking the President to set aside any order of the Civil Aeronautics Board that would halt service be- tween Alaska and the states by Pacific Northern and Alaska Air lines.
 Neuberger said such an order, if issued, would be "disastrously ser ious to the Northwest and to Alas ka generally
 He said his letter was based on a report the CAB had voted such a step. If so, Neuberger wrote, it would exclude the Portland area from direct trade with Alaska, re- store Seattle to its former mo- nopolistic position regarding AL askan commerce by air." and ma jor competition for Pan American and Northwest Airlines, put AL aska at the mercy of transporta- ton monopolies and give prefer ence in Alaskan service to non- Alaskan companies.
 If the SAB has made or makes such a ruling,' Neuberger asked the President to set it aside.
 The report of the possible AL aska air service ruling originated in an aviation trade publication in the east.
 Air industry observers have noted that the trade press in the past has reported several deci- sions by the board on Alaska and Pacific which have varied from the later official outcome.

Mining Boom Foreseen in Alaska
 When Industries Get Clear Titles
 To Huge Reserves of Baser Metals

Sam" PekoVich went to New York City, lined up investors, and formed the Admiralty Alaska Gold Mining Company, of which he still is the majority stock holder.
 The price' of nickel in those days was not what it is today, and MT. Pekovich ran into another large obstacle in the form of an unWarranted report by federal bureau that his property didn't contain much nickel anyhow
 Over the years he battled a suc- cession of disappointments but, eventually, his mine got the chance it needed to prove itself in the greatly increased demand for nickel in recent years.
 A federal loan of S1O8,00O was obtained for financing further ex- ploration, which has confirmed the existence of a huge body of nickel-cobalt-copper bearing ore.
 Diamond drilling and airborne magnetometer surveys have re- vealed an intrusive sill whose bulk is estimated at nearly 400,- O00,000 tons of ore-bearing rock with the possibility that many times this amount lies elsewhere nearby.
 Thanks to one mans persever- ance, therefore, this company is on the threshold of great expan- sion. Not only is it in line for further aid in the form of loans from the federal Defense Min erals Exploration Administration, but private sources stand ready to shoulder any financial burden that expansion may involve.
 It is like that in varying degrees elsewhere in Alaska - vast de- posits of minerals waiting to be unlocked but not, perhaps, without painstaking search of titles and impeccable attention to various legalities.
 A corollary to the development of large deposits of much-needed minerals in this particular area is the availability of large blocs of hydroelectric power.
 Canadian and United States en- trepreneurs have been sparring for two years over the establish ment of huge hydroelectric plant near here, whose water source lies in Canada but whose plant site must be on Alaska tidewater.
 An eventual compromise on this struggle is foreseen. When it has been achieved, there should be widespread unlocking of iron, nickel, cobalt and copper deposits in this area.

By LOUIS R. HUBER

IS being made by the mining ln- dustry in Alaska today-but if you wait just little longer the noise may be deafening
 That is the consensus here, as Investigating experts fly into and out of the territory, carrying back to their home offices re- ports in mineral deposits = to guide industrial leaders who seem about to invest hundreds of mil lions of dollars in Alaska mining ventures.
 Last year Alaska produced a paltry S24,252,O0O in minerals merely withered facsimile of mineral output in former years.
 What has been going on grad ually for 25 years. is transition from noble to base metals. The new look" in Alaska mining will not be tinged with yellow so much as with the colors of iron, nickel, copper, tungsten, cobalt and other ores.
 Our future mineral wealth has been carefully concealed by nature and it will take improved techniques, plus great financial risks, to uncover new mineral re- sources," remarked Felix E. Wormser, assistant secretary for mineral resources of the Depart ment of the Interior, after he toured Alaska last September.
 Most of the presently known deposits in Alaska were discover ed by the flood of prospectors who came north to the Klondike and Nome around the turn of the century.
 According to Phil T. Holdsworth, head of the Territorial Depart ment of Mines, many of those deposits claimed so long ago are now under cloud of title. Their development is held up when in vestors, otherwise willing, will not risk their money on claims whose owners, or heirs, cannot be found. Mr. Wormser acknowledged that mining in Alaska has spe- cial problems, one of which is a lack of tax incentives such as Canada has provided-with great stimulus to mineral output.
 In a few cases early discoveries are being rapidly brought into production in Alaska - one of these being the tin deposits of Seward Peninsula. Discovered in 1903, they have been kept alive over the years by several die hards" who insisted that one day they would be valuable.
 A similar example of readiness !, is that of a huge mineral deposit on Admiralty Island near here i This property was discovered about 1905 and was worked orig inally as a gold mine.
 In 1915 it was purchased by an alert young immigrant from Montenegro, w. S. Pekovich, who discovered that nickel, rather than gold, was the most valuable de- pSsit.
 Instead of selling out to a large mining company-the usual
