it's men to the Arctic and sub
Arctic regions to experiment
with constructions that may
permit our armed forces to
fight over the snow and in the

A construction program is

pad of material not susceptible
to freezing.
An underground pipeline
can thaw the permafrost so
that it shifts and snaps the
pipe. Army Engineers solved
this problem by carefully in
sulating the metal if it goes
underground and laying the
pipe on supports high above
the ground. An outstanding
example of this work is a
pipeline that goes 621 miles
between HaineS and Fair
banks, Alaska, across noun
tains, rivers, canyons and
through permafrost.
Even finding your way in
vast fields of snow is a major
difficulty. The standard COM
pass is useless that close to
the magnetic pole. Expert
ments are being carried out
on a Observation-Disclosures which

what direction his vehicle has

road and grow faint as he
moved of the course.
Huge crevaSSes, some 100
feet deep, are covered with
soft snow bridges in the Arctic.
Engineers are experimenting
with radar to detect these
chasms in advance of a NOV

For 200 years there has been
scientific interest in the
Arctic. Now Army Engineers
from Belvoir are conducting
year-around research into
hundreds of special problems
unique to those frozen lands

necessary, fight where weather

lapsed when the surface
thawed. One method used to
stop this was to place piles in
the ground to a depth below
the thaw. These were put
butt-end down, instead of the
small end, so refreezing would
not push them out of the
ground.
On the Greenland icecap
which is 100000 miles square
and 10000 feet deep, any
building is buried by blowing
snow and icecap movement.
Here the Engineers designed
a building without a founda-
ton. Constructed of 18-foot
culvertS, they are designed to
be buried at the rate of sew
eral feet a year. Personnel
living in these buildings get
in and out through escape
matches in the roofs which
are heightened as the struc-
ture sinks.
Power in the Arctic, where
oil costs as much as $42 a
barrel, would be a tremendous
problem in war time. At Fort
Belvoir, through co-ordina-
tion with the Atomic Energy
Commission, a transportable
nuclear power plant is being
built. One planeload of nu-
clear fuel will operate a plant
for three or four years in the
Arctic. Experiments in solar
radiation and other power
sources in the frozen lands
are also being carried out.
Air fields must be available
in war time. RunwayS of
leveled and compacted snow,
first pulverized, then slightly
melted and refrozen to give a
hard surface, are being used.
In other places, the Engineers
have excavated 9 feet and

NEW YORK, Aug. Is (P.-
Alvin Dark, star shortstop and

fractured rib as the result of a
collision with Ted KlusEewski
and will be out Of action for four
weeks.
Dark was examined today at
the New York Medical Center,
and x-rays showed that the
third rib on the left side was
injured. Dark played briefly in
yesterdays first game of a dou-
Ible-header with Pittsburgh, and
then retired. The Giants said no
plans have been made as yet
concerning any replacement.
The injury occurred when
Dark was trying to avoid a play
at first base. KlusZewSki finally
managed to tag him. At first it
was believed Dark's rib was only

GRAHAM MAY HAVE TO RETURN
Court Forbids Browns
To Use Bobby Freeman

CLEVELAND. Aug. Is R.-
Federal Judge Paul Jones today
granted an injunction forbidding
Bobby Freeman and Jack Lock-
lear to play with the Browns.
The injunction was sought by
the Winnipeg Blue Bombers Of
the Canadian Football League,
with whom Freeman. a quarter
back, and Locklear, a center, had
signed 1855 contracts before
| joining the Browns.
Winnipeg, in its suit, said its
team was badly crippled by the
loss of the two former Auburn
College stars. The club acknowl-
edged that it did not expect
Freeman and Locklear to return
and play for Canada, but con-
tended they should not be al
lowed to play for any American
club, either.
The ruling left the Browns
with only one quarterback
George Ratterman, who is start
ing his first season as the first
string quarterback. There is o
possibility, however, that Otto
Graham may come out of retire

Browns, the two players said
their draft status was a factor
in their decision. They said a
draft board official had told
them their best chance for de-
ferment from military service
was to enroll in a university.
1t was more feasible to play
football in America and enroll
in an American university than
to attempt to study in Canada,
they said.
Coach Paul Brown, comment
ing on the decision, said he
would leave it up 10 his lawyers

Brown was asked whether he
was considering calling Graham

to put him against such speedy
