was an unusual though not an
unprecedented measure.
Western observers looked on
the establishment of the icefloe
bases as another move in the
Soviet-U.S. contest for supremacy
in the arctic-the shortest air
route between Russia and North
America.
The us. Air Force maintained
teams on a floating ice sheet
known as Fletcher's Island for
two years to make weather obser-
vations, but the last nine men
were withdrawn last May Is.
The Air Force, in announcing
the withdrawal, said the station
had ceased to be useful because it
had drifted to a point only go
miles from the permanent wealth
err station "Alert" on the north
ernmost top Of Ellesmere Island,
Canada. 1t was said the icefloe
might be reoccupied later.
Shortly before the station was
disbanded, Soviet transport
plane swooped low over the in
stallations and took photographs,
the Air Force said. No protest
was made.
The United States considers the
Arctic Ocean free to all, like the
open seas, and has never recog-
nized an old Soviet claim to the
region between Russia and the
North Pole.

Russia Discloses It Is Maintaining
Science Stations on Two Floating
Ice Islands North of Alaska

MOSCOW, F@1 he huSSldIlS
disclosed Saturday they are MAIN
tanning scientific stations" on
two floating ice islands in the
polar region north and northwest
of Alaska.
The Soviet news agency Tass
said teams on the icefloes are
taking depth measurements of the
Arctic Ocean, studying atrno-
spheric conditions and making
geological surveys of the seabed.
The scientists were flown to their
drifting bases last spring and are
being supplied by helicopters.
Tass said one of the stations
was located a few days ago at 88
degrees, 2 minutes North Latitude
and ISL degrees, 40 minutes West
Longitude. This would put it
north of Alaska and within 100
miles of the North Pole.
The other was pinpointed at TT
22' N. Lat. and ia 20 E. Long.
This is above Siberia and about
500 miles northwest of Point Bar
row, Alaska. It is $50 miles from
the pole.
The report said the arctic teams
are living in tents and prefabri-
Gated houses heated with coal and
gas. Fresh vegetables, letters,
packages and newspapers are be-
ing flown to them regularly.
The bases were said to be
equipped with tractors, motor
cars and windmills. Their radio
stations are keeping regular con-
tact with the Soviet mainland.
Tass said the Soviet Academy
of Science and V. Burkhanov,
chief administrator of the north
ern sea route, had taken hand in
establishing the stations, which
are under the command of two
specialists in geographical science.
So far, extensive research has
been carried on in the central
arctic near the North Pole, the
submerged Lomonosov Mountain
Range and the continental shelf of
the Chukotsk Sea, it was said.
This body of water-also known
as the Chuckchee or Chukchi Sea
lies at the north end Of the
Boring Strait. The continental
shelf forms its northern boundary.
When the drifting stations were
set up a few months ago, the first
was at So N. Lat. and 1750 As,
w. Long. The second was at rs .
49, N. Lat. and 1750 IS w. Long.
Tass' story arrived in Moscow
too late for inclusion in the agen-
cy's regular news report and the
agency's office telephoned West
ern correspondents that special

Nome Junior Police
Enjoy Minerals Talk,
Hear Baseball Plans

Nome Junior Police met Sat-
urday afternoon at the City Hall
under the leadership of G.. R..
GoShaw and were most interest
ingly entertained by Peter Sand
vik, territorial assayer and min
ing engineer, and William Barber,
Nome CAA station manager.
Mr.. Sandvik had several sam
Piles of highly mineralized ores
found in this area. He explained
each ore, what it was, and its
need. He answered questions and
invited visits and if the boys had
mineral samples he would be glad
to identify them.
Mr.. Barber, who does much for
local boy entertainment, talked
about junior baseball as a fine
sport and creating good competi-
ton. He said that by getting a
start this year, no doubt next
year there would be a junior
league with scheduled games. Mr..
Barber invited all boys to come
to the baseball field to try out
with the boys already playing.
The Junior Police were great
ly pleased by the fine letter of
thanks received from Mayor An
dersen and the City Council for
their work on the Fourth of July
If their services are required dur
ing Secretary of the Interior Nc
Kay's visit this week, the Ups
are ready.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown of The
Theater furnished ten free tick
cts to be presented to members
who performed some worth while
service during the month. One
J.P., Donald Pierce, reported a
fire, which had it not been SO
quickly reported, could have been
costly to- the owner.
The boys expressed thanks to
the Nugget and to Pete O'Brien
of AIRS for their good publicity
on the Saturday meeting.
Commander Bob Emmons of
the American Legion gave the
juniors scads of ice cream for
their cooperation on July 4th.
Junior Police Chief Robert Sum-
mers is reported going good
job of instruction and closes each
meeting by having the boys re-
peat the Junior Police Pledge,
and expressed the hope that the
pledge will be observed by each
boy.

track guages-Russia has wide
gauge track, Manchuria and China
medium gauge.
A telephone query to the Com

Honk Kong (which published
these stories) brought the follow

Kent County corn growers can
arrange for official measurement
OF their 1854 farm coFn-acreage al
lOtments prior TO planting time.
the County Agricultural StabiIiza-
tiOn and Conservation Committee
announced this week.
To get the pre-measurement SER
vice, which is being provided on a
cost basis, a corn farmer must Rle
a written request with the County
ASC Office prior to April %. 1854.
says J. L. Tarburton, committee
chairman. The rate to be charged
for each farm fors the service in
Kent County has been established
at S4.OO per farm and 10c for each
acre in the farm corn allotment.
and payment based on this rate
must be made at the time the re-
quest for measurement is filed.
The pre-measurement is purely
optional" says Mr.. Tarburton.
and is offered as a service to
growers who prefer to have on ON
clal measurement 20 use as a plant
AAA6 Sulu6.
The chairman explains that all
corn farms in the county will be
visited as soon as possible after
the corn Comes up" to determine
compliance with the acreage allot-
ment program. When compliance
is checked, the farm will be con-
sidered to be within the farm acre
age allotment if the corn is plant
ed within the pre-measured area.
The chairman emphasized that
the service will be worthwhile only
to those farmers who are interested
In price support on their 1854 corn

Local CAP Squadron
Alerted On Monday

The Milford Squadron of the
Civil Air Patrol was alerted on
Monday night after a T-SS jet pilot
was reported long overdue in his
flight from Farmingdale, Long Is
land to Langley Field, Virginia, on
Monday. Tuesday morning was
very foggy and prevented an air
search until late in the morning.
however, two planes in face of ad-
verse weather with winds up to so
miles per hour, piloted by Delbert
Mitchell and NJ. A. Keller put in a
combined time Of almost eight
hours with no clues.
This search came in the wake
OF a practice mission on SUNDAY
when the Milford Squadron put five
planes into the air 81 minutes af-
ter the alert was sounded. The
simulated airplane disaster was
located within a few miles of
BridgeVille, some evidence west of
town and some east of town. For
the most part the mission was
very successful and proved the
effectiveness of preparedness.
In keeping with the motto of the
Civil Air Patrol "Semper Vigilans"
always vigilant) the Milford
Squadron and the Whole Delaware
Wing were on duty as soon as
alerted for this recent call to duty.
The Milford Squadron, although,
not able to fly at first due to the
almost zero visibility, stood by
their shOrt-wave- radio and kept in,
constant contact with CAP head
quarters awaiting instructions. At
press time this search for the T-S3
jet pilot continues.
