Ford Pleads
For United Fund

Advantages Of combining COM

today by Benson Ford at a rally
of business leaders participating
in the 1855 Red Feather drive
for 50 million in Metropolitan
Washington.
The vice president Of the Ford
Motor Co. said united giving Il
not only good business for all
concerned, but Is a boon to civic
spirit and helps improve labor
management relations.
In a luncheon address at
Hotel Statler, Mr.. Ford described
the Community Chest as the
closest thing to united giving
but he expressed hope that
Washington next year will come
even closer to a campaign in
which the people can give once

Describes Detroit's Success
The industrialist, who heads
the United Foundation of De-
troft, told the business leaders
the phenomenal success story of
the one-campaign policy in his
city and elsewhere.
"In the six years since the De-
troit Fund was put into effect, "
he said, "the practice has spread
like wildfire until today about
712 communities have united
funds. Nearly half of all the
money contributed last year went
to united funds.
That's quite a record. par
ticularly when YOU consider that
the united fund is a local activ-

national united fund organiza-

waite problems by private means"
United Drive Demanded
Mr.. Ford said the 1855 Wash

particular significance in view of
the fact that many local business
and civic groups are demanding
united drives.

arrived at Little America to find
many old landmarks changed or
gone.
Just eight years ago, Sullivan
and this writer were there togeth-
er on the 1946-47 expedition. The
ultimate death Of Little America
shipping to sea as fantastic
iceberg-was apparent then.
The explanation is simple be-
cause Little America is just part
of the seward edge Of the Ross
Ice Shelf. The shelf is a gigantic
icecube formed by glaciers spill
ing down from the 10,000-foot
polar plateau, 400 miles to the
south.
The glaciers keep pushing north
ward toward the sea, and contin-
ual SHOWS make it a flat-top ice
cube.
This moving shelf grinds over
Roosevelt Island, buried deep be
meath the ice The grinding mo-
ton twists part of the shelf SO It
turns to flow westward.
This part Of the shelf formed
the eastern cape or edge of the
Bay of Whales. The western cape,
however, keeps moving north to
form the other icy jaw of the bay.
Both jaws moved about four
feet a day. The Little America
jaw moved westward to press
against the western jaw.
At some time since 1948 the
two jaws met and battled.
When Titans meet something
has to give.
Adm. Byrd in an interview last
month said he though the Little
America jaw was strong enough
to win. He apparently was right
The western cape has gone tc
sea. A great triangular section
extending is miles southwark to-
ward the pole has crashed into
the sea, Sullivan reports.

THE ECONOMIC FUTURE

joint congressional committee recently released
its conclusion after making prolonged study of the
economic future of the United States. The joint
mittee says the future of the country most promising
Among other things, the committee predicted that
by 1865 the nations population will have grown to
100 000 900 and that taxes will be lower, work hours
shorter and wages higher.
The report, entitled the Potential Economic
Growth Of the United States During the Next Decade
takes into consideration the fact that the warbaby
of the 1940s will swell the countrys population consid
erably very soon now
Although many people do not realize it, the crop
of college graduates and therefore the number of
families appearing in this country, IS now much
lower than it will be a few years hence
The very large baby crops of the late Thirties and
the huge crops in the early 1940s will make them
selves felt In another five years, for instance the
babies born in 941 and 1912 will be eighteen years old
Some of them will have already entered the job market
and others will be about ready to marry The resulting
number Of families WILL therefore, be much larger
This, and the steadily growing population Of the
country plus other factors seems insure vigorous
and expanding economy in country for decades

Merchants, Army Bruins
Beat Jets, School Nanooks
In Friday Night Games

Last Friday evening in the local
gym the Nome Merchants won
over the Air Force Jets by the
score of So to 58.
The victors led all the way
with most of their players making
the scoring column by three or
four baskets.
High-point men for the Mer-
chants were George Bell, Harold
Bell and George Kost with III, IL,
and III respectively.
In the second game the Army
Bruins downed the High School
Nanooks by the score of SIS to 80.
The much shorter Nanook team
had trouble holding down the tall
Bruin men and lost the game on
tip-offs under the basket.
For the winners Keiser and
Roberts made % and 18 points
respectively; for the Nanooks,
Herman and Dave Bell made IL
and 10 points respectively.
The game was rebroadcast over
AIRS later in the evening. The
sportcaSters' running commentary
of the court action gave listeners
a realistic picture of what went

With no solution for Alaska's

last session Of Congress, Alaska's
Delegate Bartlett has placed bill

alton by the new Congress which

Bartlett's bill would transfer
the care of Alaska's mentally i'll

It would continue federal re-
Sponsibility for care and treat
ment, and would provide modern

Next summer, due to the rapid
expansion Of tourist trade gener-
ally, Alaska should be able to
look forward to a rich tourist bus
mess but the thousands of people
who formerly Travelled to Alaska
by water must now 60 by air."
Ellsworth wrote.
If the scheduled air SER
vice is reduced the Territory of
Alaska will be in a sad state in
deed SO far as transportation is
concerned"
Ellsworth's letter resulted from
reports the board is ready to rec
ommend elimination of Pacific
Northern and Alaska Airlines
from the States-Alaska service,
leaving the field to Northwest
Airlines and Pan-American World
Always. 1t followed shortly
similar letter from the entire
Washington-Alaska congressional
delegation to President Eisenhow-
er and the board urging retention
of all four carriers and present
route structures.
Ellsworth tied the case into two
portions Of the Presidents State
Of the Union message
One was the Presidents sugges-
ton statehood for the territory be
delayed until its complex prob
lens" are solved.
Surely the curtailment Of
transportation service to Alaska
can only serve to further compli-
cate the problems Of the territory
and might, in fact, reasonably be
interpreted as in direct opposition
to the expression Of the Presi-
dent" Ellsworth wrote.
He noted the President also re-
ferred to a thorough examination
of existing transportation policies
now under way by cabinet com
mittee, and asked:
"Will the Civil Aeronautics
Board be acting wisely and in CO
operation with the President and
the administration if it now, be-
fore the Presidents committee
has an opportunity to study the
situation and offer its suggestions,
proceed to make drastic modifica-
tons of our federal transportation
policy so far as the Territory Of

Friday.
Only prisoners with terms of
less than a year and those con-
victed of misdemeanors will be
lodged at the camp. Those serving
terms for serious crimes will be
confined in the States, as in the
past.
Plans for the camp were worked
out by Roy V. Casey, superinten-
dent of the Alaska Jail System,
and Col. Horace D. Aynesworth,
base commander.
Prisoners will be used for work
on Elmendorf details" but Casey
said they will not replace employ
able labor in any jobs, and they
will do mental tasks where they
will not be in contact with mill
tary personnel
The new camp, complete with
living quarters, dining hall and
recreational facilities, will han
die As to so prisoners the first few

It is similar to one operating at

FOLEY, Fla. Up At the end

left here will be a church, postoff-

stores and service stations.
No homes.
Foley is 26 years old and at one
time had a population of about L.

The Buckeye Cellulose Corp.
bought the townsite and other pro-

which went into operation last year.
Then it began selling the homes to
it's employees on condition they find
new sites for them.
Most of the houses are being

are being taken farther away.

remaining is still a question. The
