The second Grand Prix was
awarded to two engineers, Sven
Swallert and Arne Ekstrand, for a
new method of storing large guam
titles of gasoline. The liquid is
lowered to the bottom of the sea
in a gigantic container of plastic
and rubber, which a hose connects
with the surface. When a crane
is opened the water pressure
causes the gasoline to gush, and
it can thus easily be pumped into,
for instance, the holds Of tankers.
A testing unit has been set up at
the Swedish port of Nynashamn,
near Stockholm. If it proves sue
cessful, Sweden could use the new
method on a large scale, instead
of blasting expensive rock cham
bers for the storage of liquid fuel.
In addition, Mr.. Swallert received
a gold medal for his invention of
a pump for high-speed change of
oil in automobiles. A versatile de-
vice it can also be used, for ex-
ample. on polio patients and for
the administering of artificial res
piration.

Pinay, Premier Of France In 1852. To Form Cabinet

PARIS, LR nm Antoine Pinay, a Conservative who once said he would never go back into that bear cage" sought support today for his second term as French premier.
 The 63-year-old owner of a small-town tannery agreed last night to try to form Frances 21st postwar government, succeeding the cabinet of Pierre Mendes- France. Pinay told newsmen he hoped to have his list of pros pective ministers ready by Thurs day.
 One of the longer lived of Frances numerous postwar pre- miers, Pinay headed the govern ment for 912 months in 1852. He won considerable personal popu- larity with his Conservative Save the Franc" fiscal policy which checked rising prices though it did not solve Frances basic economic ills. Facing three confidence votes and considered certain to. lose all of them, he re- signed Dec. B, 1852, and vowed meyer again.
 Tn Bonn, meanwhile, West Ger man Chancellor Konrad Ade- nauer told meeting of his Chris tion Democratic party's district leaders that any new French gov ernment could continue Mendes- Frances support of the Paris treaties but that French ratifica- ton would be delayed. He urged his followers to push ahead with German approval of the pacts.

By SPENCER MOOSA and FRED HAMPSON

TAIPEH, Formosa, Rl - The evacuation of the Tachens sped forward today under the protec- ton of the mighty US. 7th Fleet, whose carrier pilots said they there fired on by Red antiair- craft guns.
 Red torpedo boats cruised IT miles away but made no attempt to interfere with the huge and dangerous task of bringing off 30,O00 Nationalist soldiers and civilians A patrol party of US. Marines went ashore to help with the operation.
 First to leave the imperiled Ia chens were civilians, most of whom are on lower Tachen, the southern island of the group.
 Ut. Gen. Liu Lien Nj, com mander of the Tachen garrison, declared he still had no orders from President 'Chiang Kai-Shek to quit the islands.
 US. pilots reported seeing ex- plosions on Yikiangshan, eight miles to the north of the Ia chens, but the Reds made no move to interfere. It was spec ulated the explosions came from demolition work on Yikiangshan
 Nationalist sources reported that an advance guard of US. and Nationalist forces got the evacu- ation under way last night, while ships of the US. 7th Fleet were still some distance away from the threatened islands.
 (The Navy in Washington said the task force of 75 ships in cluded six carriers with some 800 planes, two cruisers, 36 destroy CTS and other warships).

Legislature Enters Its Third Week
By JIM HUTCHINSON

JUNEAU, R-AlaSka'S leglSla- ture swung into their third weeks work today.
 Legislation on m or issues such as the budget, taxation and bolstering the employment secur- ity fund has begun to take shape. Equally encouraging, proposed ways by which the yawning gap of 12 million dollars between es- timated revenue and requested appropriations can be drastically sliced are before the lawmakers.
 Committees of both branches have swung into conferences with various departments and agencies to decide on the final appropria- tions they will get. There's little chance many will get what they asked.
 Tn the week just past, Governor Heintzleman'S budget expert lent helping hand. Welding a sharp knife, he pared the big budget requests at the top and then went to work at the bottom to recom- mend what specific increases could be justified over 1854.
 Tonight Henry Harmon, direc- tor of the Department of Public Welfare, will outline his requests at an open hearing of the House Ways and Means and Health and Welfare Committees.
 The first order of business in the Senate was to be continuance of a hearing and debate on whe- ther the legislature should ask the governor to apply immediate ly for a federal loan to bolster the dwindling Employment Security Benefits fund.
 On Saturday the Senate match ed previous House action in ap- proving a memorial to the fed eral government designed to ob- tain profits for the territory from mining land leases, as in the states.
 The measure said each state gets 90 per cent of the profits leasing of coal or other mineral lands within it's borders. It asks enactment by Congress of reso- lutiOn now before it to end such discrimination against Alaska.
 A half dozen new measures were also introduced.
 In turn, they would do these things:
 Repeal completely the territor- ial law against outdoor advertis- ing along highways.
 Set up new law to examine and license dentists under the territory's dental board (by Reps. Ray Hummer, Lester Bronson, Burke Riley and Warren Taylor). Among other things the measure would set up reciprocity by which dentists practicing in the States could start work in the territory without taking a beginners ex- animation.

Statehood not
 included by Democrats

ANCHORAGE (P) The De mocratic leadership in the sem ate has failed to include state hood for Alaska in it's prelinlin- ary agenda for the coming ses- sion, Senator William F. Know land revealed in an interview here Monday.
 However, Senator Knowland explained the agenda may have not included all the DemoTa- tic objectives.
 Sen KnoWland said in check ing over the proposals of Demo cratic majority leader Sen. Lyn don Johnson of Texas, he found no mention of statehood.
 II do not even know how he feels on the question: Know land said.
 Knowland continued the sta tehood issue further with a proclamation he will do every thing within his power for sta- tehood for both Alaska and Hawaii.
 When questioned on Presi- dent Eisenhower's statehood views for the territory, Know land said he does not believe the president objects" to sta tehood but is very interes ed in the national defense portion of the proposal.
 The question in the eyes of the president appears to be how much of Alaska should be with in the boundaries of state, Knowland said.
 After speaking to an Anch- orage high school assembly in the morning. Knowland left for oF't. Greedy & Fairbanks with L.. Gen. Joseph Atkinson, com mander of all Alaska military installations and forces.

 worries delegates yesterday

FAIRBANKS lP) The sum of $3.98 and the matter of proper grammar were the worries of the Alaska convention delegat- es Monday as they launched their fourth week of proceed irtgs.
 Herb Hilscher, delegate from Anchorage, suggested the mon ey be spent on asking musician Fred Waring by telegram if he would do a rendition of the Al -aska Flag Song and have it re- corded.
 The convention approved the idea but wondered if the ex- pense would be setting pre- cedent.
 After some ten delegates had their say, the delegates approv- ed Hilscher's proposal by a voice vote.
 The thorny woe of grammar popped up when a sugges ed draft of style was presented to the delegates by committee on style and drafting. It propo- sed that the constitution be written in the presen. tense, not the future perfect as in the case in other like documents Ralph Rivers of Fairbanks urg ed against what he termed 8 hopeless editing ask He sup ported the pattern set by oth- CT constl utional framers. w. o. Smith of Ketchikan ev en resorted to reading 'tlhe de finition of shall" from a law dictionary, and Mildred Her mann Of Juneau declared that the present tense would give the constitution greater dig nj y.
 The roll call vote to return the suggested draft to the com mi tee on style failed by 34- 19 vote.
 1 A report from the resolutions committee branded Homer de- legate Yule Kilcher's proposal asking for the remaining of Mt. Mckinley as mo business of the convention" Kilcher then withdrew his proposal.
