evident that she would have to
move. We went in through less than
an inch of water in the front
lawn and when the moving van ar

to wade nearly knee deep to get

Oil Prospecting Picks Up Speed In Alaska

TULSA, Okla, R-Leasing for oil operations in Alaska has sub- sided but actual drilling is picking up speed and petroleum explorers are infiltrating the territory in ever increasing numbers.
 That's the report of the Oil and Gas Journal, which described ge- ologists, seismograph crews and drillers working there this sum mer as the forerunners of small army" of technicians who in the next few years will test the areas possibilities.
 In the past four years, the mag azine said, oil companies and indi- viduaIs have claimed more than five million acres, mostly in the Katala- Yakataka district along the east coast of the Gulf of Alaska, on the Kenai Peninsula around Cook Inlet and on parts of the AL aska Peninsula.
 Lesser activity has put acreage in central Alaska north of the Yukon and on the Canadian bor- der under lease.
 Phillips Petroleum Co., the prin- cipal leaseholder, has drilled two tests in the Katala- -Yakataka area. One was abandoned as dry. The other, the Journal said, found good oil sands at about 8,700 feet but they were not considered to be commercial Phillips is prepar- ing third test.
 Other big companies with leases include Standard Oil Go. of Cali fornia, Richfield Oil Corp, Union Oil Co.,, Standard Oil Co. of Ohio, Shell Oil Co.,, General Petroleum Corp, and Sunray Mid-Co'ltlnent Oil Co.

pilots alone could save the terri tory of Alaska about million a year" (presumably by eliminating mail subsidies).
 Paul Hansen of Pacific Pali- sades, Calif., said he would return to aviation in Alaska if it were possible to operate without bounding by complaints originat- ing because of" regulations.
 Hawley Evans of Fairbanks said lair taxi operators are need ed and badly in Alaska.
 "The air taxis could fly the bush mail runs in a much more businesslike manner than the present operations" he said "The pilot-owner is granted nothing .. there is no enforcement agency to protect the pilot-owner from ei- ther the greed of the airliner or the uncertificated pilots"
 R. K. Dyment of Fairbanks de- clared that present regulations strangle our operations to the point where it is absolutely inn possible to make a bare living without violating some one Of the many regulations that surround us"
 As to hearings planned in the investigation, Dyment said: "I fully realize that our small indi- vidual voices will be lost in the forthcoming hassle. The airiires will have batteries of attorneys with bulging brief cases contain ing stacks of statistics proving to their own satisfaction that we should be further restricted in stead of given more freedom" !"

CAB Gets Bitter Criticism From
 Alaska Bush Pilots on Restrictions

w WNAoAAAANG O1N, h b u s n pilots in Alaska, a rugged lot, have some definite ideas about what should be done to improve air service in the territory.
 The Civil Aeronautics Board, looking for such improvement, in- vited comment from pilots who own and fly planes for hire in Alaska. Replies show the pilot owners are bitter about regula- tions which prohibit them from competing with airlines and from hiring other pilots to fly their planes.
 Thor Skulstad of Wrangell wrote: "Yes, there are lot of issues relating to the pilot-own- CTS that should be revised to conform to the needs of the public instead of the monopoly that exists here in Alaska.
 here in Southeastern Alaska the public cannot get on train or bus and in most cases cannot use a boat. This leaves only one mode of transportation, the airplane.
 the restriction keeping us from hiring pilots belongs in Russia and not Alaska run ming Alaska from a desk in Wash ington, DC, is one of the reasons it is being sold down the drain. l will say, come to Alaska and see what the score is, as you cer- tainly don't know back there. What little you know is one sided"
 Daniel l.. Smith of McGrath wrote: II don't think it is fair to give a subsidized airline an iron clad monopoly on all the traffic. I'm not afraid of competition. But it certainly isn't in line with the American way of life to have to give up without a struggle and let an outfit like Alaska Airlines take over completely.
 T fail to see the reasoning be- hind the regulation stating that the pilot-owner must do his own flying in his own airplaneS. Taking the rule literally means that as soon as the pilot-owner can't pass his annual physical he may as well die since there is no possible way to stay in business" :"
 Nelson Walker of Kotzebue said he wanted to bid on bush mail run as would have been per mitted years ago before the Communist form of government came and tried to take the bush pilots bread out of his mouth. "
 He added:
