BIC. Has Route Ready for Pacific Great Eastern Railway to Alaska

VICTORIA, B.C., R-The pro- vincial government is waiting with route all ready should the United States decide to join Brit ish Columbia in pushing the Pa cific Great Eastern Railway north to Alaska.
 Details of the selected route, up the Rocky Mountain trench north from Prince George, were disclosed Friday.
 Possibility of extending the government-ow PGE was giv- en added impetus Thursday when President Eisenhower signed bill setting up an Alaska Interna- tional Rail and Highway Commis- sion to study the feasibility of transportation links between the US. and Alaska.
 Cost of the project is estimated at $120,000,000.
 The route would start at Fort Mcleod, on the present northern extension under construction, and travel in a northwest direction to Lower Post, Watson Lake, Daw- son, and across the Alaska boun- dary at Eagle.

Pilots May Use
 Slurry or Exotic With Right Cermet

Aircraft technology is moving so rapidly that the English lan- guage is proving inadequate for the expression of ideas. As a re- suit, new words are being coined and old ones are getting secon- dary meanings in the conversa- tions and writings of scientific aircraft personnel.
 Because the thermal barrier is proving challenge, frequently causing conventional metals to melt, engineers are seeking light weight materials which can with stand high temperatures.
 Some researchers are convinced the best solution lies in combin- ation of ceramics and metals. Thus the word "cermets" is rap- idly becoming accepted as the ex- pression for ceramic-metal mater ials.
 Similarly, researchers are work
 
 ing on fuels which can provide more thrust and take up less space in tanks. These are known as exotic" or non-hydrocarbon fuels and include such chemicals as boron, hydrogen and lithium.
 Other fuel studies involve the suspension of powdered metals in liquid solutions in an effort to produce more thrust. The mix ture of liquid and powdered met al is called "slurry."

Japanese Plans for
Alaska Pulp Mill
Get us. Backing

foxy R-The Japanese
owned Alaska Lumber and Pulp
Co. today received encouragement
from the government to set up a
pulp mill at Sitka, Alaska.
The backing came in the form
of a government decision to help
in securing funds to set up the
mill. The project is estimated to
cost between 40 and SO million
dollars.
About half of the fund is to be
raised in the US. by floating
bonds. The rest is to be raised in
Japan through loans and bond
issues.
Construction on the mill is ex-
pected to begin in 1857 and be
completed by the end of 1859.
The mill would employ about
300 persons and bring a new in
dustry to Alaska.
It would be Alaska's second big
pulp plant.
Attenuation will be fully used
to run the mill. Most of the en-
ployes will be American with only
a few Japanese technicians.
The pulp produced by the mill
will be shipped to Japan, where
there is a shortage of raw mater
ials for artificial fiber.

The notice came last night from
Gen. Thomas D. White, vice chief
of staff, in a talk before 500 guests
at a dinner marking the unwilling
of General Electric Co. plans to
build near here a $40 million ia
cility for the testing of supersonic

Already a GE engine, the JIG,
is being used for the nations

vair B-58, and for the Lockheed
supersonic fighter, the F-102,
which is believed capable of We
locities almost twice the speed of

Gen. White accused the Russian
Communists of having lied,
cheated, and stolen their way
through history"
And now, he said, the Reds
have almost closed the air power
gap In airplane after airplane
they are approaching us in quail
ity and surprising us in quantity
and presently are beating us

"But that superiority now rests
almost entirely upon our better
system of worldwide bases and
upon our better, more expert

A solution for this problem,
said White, is for private industry
to devote increasing efforts to-

WEST, NOT SOVIET
WILL HELP EGYPT
BUILD ASWAN DAM

CAIRO, Egypt, R-The West
and not the Soviet Union is going
to help Egypt build its vast high
dam on the Upper Nile River, the
biggest construction project in
Egyptian history
Egypt agreed yesterday to ac-
cept a 5000 million loan from the
World Bank to help finance the
huge construction three miles
wide and 300 feet high. With that,
the way was eased for the United
States and Britain to supply an
other $500 million in direct grants
for the project, expected to cost
a total of $1,000, 900.
Egypt will put up the rest.
Western diplomats hailed the
agreement as an important vic
tory over the Soviets in the battle
for influence in the strategic
Middle East. The Russians also
had offered to help build the big
dam at Aswan, 600 miles up the
Nile from Cairo.
