much like the family refrigerator. They freeze the piling back into the surrounding permafrost in a few days.
 With the foundations in as solid as ice, construction can proceed. There is another change from nor nal procedure, however, in erect ing outlying Arctic station build ings. The first floor is raised about four feet above the tundra 'to allow free movement of winter cold over the ground and avoid any thawing by heat from the buildings.
 Tn estimating the effectiveness of the specialized procedures, Col. Carl Farrell, the Army's Alaska District chief, expressed confid- ence "this method will provide the stability imperative to main tain permanent defense stations in the Arctic and sub-Arctic.
 Editors Note: Dr. Casagrande was in Nome Wednesday with a group of foundation specialists for the Army Engineers, and includ-  ing John Ireton, formerly of Nome They visited the site of the Nome School addition, which has been held up due to the failure of refrigeration to freeze the ground under the foundation footings be- fore concrete was poured. It was reported unofficially today that the concensus of opinion among the specialists was that the build ing should have a refrigerated post foundation.
 However, whether the group had authority to recommend such change to the APW was not known here.

Foundation Experts Recommend
 Thirty-Foot Refrigerated Filings
 For Building On Arctic Permafrost

ANCHORAGE, R-A refriger- ation system is being used to as- sure firm footing for military buildings in the Arctic.
 It sounds like an engineering version of the old saw about sell ing refrigerators to Eskimos, but it conforms to the experts form ula:
 Don't thaw it; freeze it!
 Keep the permafrost frozen solid and foundations will stay solid" said pr. Arthur Casa grande, consultant to the chief of US. Army Engineers.
 Permafrost is the perpetually frozen earth that lies from one foot to hundreds of feet deep under the tundra covering above the Arctic Circle, where exten- sive defense construction is under  way. The problem that arose in early Arctic work was that heat entered the ground after the tun- dra was broken, the permafrost melted and foundations would slump. As a result, this system has been developed for perma- frost work where Dr. Casagrande described it as like trying to build firm foundations on a dirty cake of ice"
 Thirty-foot billings are set in holes drilled through the tundra covering. Piped cooling coils are placed around each piling. They are connected to-a freezing system

Public Health Service Says Polio Apparently Has Passed Its Peak

WASHINGTON, tR - Polio ap- parently has passed it's peak for 1855, the Public Health Service said today.
 The Services weekly report on polio cases listed by the states showed 2,033 in the week ended Sept. 3, with no figures in from Nebraska and Montana. In the comparable 1854 week there were 2,101 cases.
 The cases reported last week represented a drop of 256 from the week ended Aug. 27, or a drop of PAP if Nebraska and Mon tana were excluded.
 ''This would appear to indic- ate that. he peak of incidence for the country as a whole was reached in the week ended Aug. 27," the weekly report said.

A.T.&T. Will Build Twin Submarine Cable Between The U. s. And Hawaii

WASHINGTON, R-The Am erican Telephone and Telegraph Co. revealed plans today to build and operate twin submarine cables between the United States and Hawaii.
 In authorizing the 35 million dollar project, the Communica- tions Commission said the Office of Defense Mobilization had de- scribed it as vital to the sup port of our national defense" The commission itself said such needs are "of paramount importance" and outweigh any other consid- erations."
 The more than 2,O00 mile span will make it the worlds longest telegraph cable, exceeding in length either of the two other A. T. & T. cables now being con- structed. These cables are be- tween Newfoundland and Scot land and between Port Angeles, Wash, and Ketchikan, Alaska.

whether that illness will force
Mrs. Hobby. as she told the Pres

Mr.. Hagerty said this was the
situation as it exists up to $40

He told reporters he had talked
with both Mr.. Eisenhower and
Mrs. Hobby in checking on re-
ports published in morning news
papers today that her resigna-

One of those reports, pub

Italy.
Another, published by the New

Secretary of Health, Education
and Welfare, had been selected
as her successor.
Both stories are wrong" Mr..
Hagerty said.
The Daily News story also was
denied by Mrs. Luce in Rome.
Mr.. Hagerty recalled that the
President told a questioner at

Mrs. Hobby had placed him on

conditions might arise that
would compel her to leave the

added then that if she had to
