The Nome nugget., 1959-10-23

WASHINGTON, LR - Senator Ernest Gruening says Russia is making great strides in the de- velopment of public power.
 Gruening, who recently toured Russia, said in a report to his office that ''the Russians are nov ing ahead at great speed' in de- veloping the power potential of remote areas; they are moving a lot of industries across the Urals deep into Siberia; they are har- messing their power; they are creating great cities where for merly there was mere settlement or nothing at all"
 He said Russia's Siberia is like Alaska with relatively empty areas, long underdeveloped."
 If we want to compete with them in the field of industry we have got to compete in this (power) field. It is not enough to compete in the arms race" he said.
 The Senator said power pro- jects on the Volga River have an annual capacity of seven million kilowatts compared to the 1,00O,- 900 kiloWatts capacity of Grand Coulee Dam, largest in the United States.
 Gruening has been urging con- struction of a dam at Rampant on the Yukon River in Alaska which would produce about 5 mil lion kilowatts. Congress has ap- propriated $48,75O to investigate this project.
 Gruening and Senator Frank E. Moss D-Utah), chairman of a Senate public works subcommittee which inspected Russian power projects, are expected at Anchor age Saturday. The subcommittee, and power experts with it, will tour various proposed hydroelec- tric power sites in Alaska.
 They covered some 12,OOO miles in the Soviet Union and visited 10 dams. The biggest was the Bratsk plant in Siberia, which will produce Az million kiloWatt hours, more than any two Amer ican dams combined

Portland Squadron
 Wins Top Honors At Air Force Meet

TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla, tR- The 460th Fighter In- terceptor Squadron, Portland, captured the coveted F102 cham pionship of the Air Force world wide weapons competition last night
 The winning mission had all the excitement of an underdog football team scoring the winning touchdown in the final seconds of college game, and the victorious pilots received the accolade of gridiron heroes.
 When the perfect 1000 point score for their final mission went up on the giant floodlighted score board here, cheers echoed all down the flight line for Capt. Fred erick H. England Jr., St. Peters burg, Fla, and 1st It. Thomas E. Wolters, Denton, Kan.
 The squadron had snatched the victory out of the grasp of the 525th from Bitburg Air Base, Ger many, representing the U. s. Air Forces in Europe.
 The 525th had sailed into the final day of the 10-day meet with a 4,500 point total. However, It. Jack P. Bowman. SikeStOn. Md. had disappointing run and racked up only 200 of the 500 points that the final flight could have contributed. Even so, the German squadron's 4,7OO points seemed good safe margin ahead of the 46Oth's $500 points.
 Both England and Wolters found their targets in the dark, rainy night, wyith skillful direc- tion from the squadron radar con- troller on the ground, It. Robert B. Hinman, Lebanon, Ore.
 All three officers attributed the win to the outstanding mainten- ance performed by the enlisted men of the ground crews.
 Among the F102s firing Falcon missiles, the 317th, Elmendorf AFB, Alaska, also scored 1000 points in a perfect night mission to place third with 4,300 points

Cruening Reports Russians Take Lead
 In Hydroelectric Power Dam Projects

Paris Wednesday "The Russians were cooperative and cordial in giving us information"
 He said data given them on Chinese hydroelectric projects, if correct, surpassed even the rate of progress in Russia. He said he hoped to be able to go to China some day to see for himself
 Moss said the Soviets have uni fled, long-range planning. "In the States, we wait for the demand" he said. "The Russians do the op- posite. They create the power, then move the industry in, as they did in the town of KhruShchev in the Ukraine"
 Michael w. Strauss, consultant to the Senate Interior Committee and former U. s. Commissioner of Reclamation, said the Russians are exporting generators to 35' different countries.
 ''The leadership in this field has shifted to the Soviet Union, and this delegation will tell the Senate just that" he said

Ancient Antarctic Lost
 Seal Graveyard Reported By South Pole Explorers

WASHINGTON, R - Scientists have found a desolate place in Antarctica where seals apparent ly lost their way and died of star vation. Some Of the carcasses may be more than 1000 years old.
 These seal "mummies' - pre- served by the Polar climate - were collected during the 1957- 50 field season on land from a mile to 30 miles from the sea in the McMurdo Sound area.
 They have just been added to the mammal collections of the Smithsonian Institution. Dr. Troy L. Peve of the U. s. Geological Survey and the University of Alaska, and Dr. George A. Llano of the National Academy of Sci ences Committee on Polar Re search, described the find this way:
 Most of the carcasses were found Tn valley DOIlOIIlS, UldIly along the courses of ephemeral streams. Most of these streams do not drain into the sea but into small, ice-covered lakes in val leys blocked from the sea.
 We believe that the Antarctic seals which occasionally wander inland find no feed in the fresh or alkaline lakes and therefore die The cold, arid climate pre- serves their carcases an incredible length of time to attest to the animals last journey"
 Radiocarbon dating of one seal carcass showed it was between 1,60O and 2,6OO years old.

CLINTON, Mo, R Carl Sexton, driver educator instruc- tor in the Clinton schools, took two boys and two girls out for a lesson in changing tires.
 They stopped in a residential section when it was one of the girls turn to change a tire.
 While the girl toiled, there came an indignant woman's voice from a nearby house:

In Rockville
'Fairer' Law
On Drainage
Is Sought

Rockville will ask the gen.
eral assembly next year for
the power to levy storm
drainage taxes by districts.
The legislative reform was
proposed as a method of more
equitable payment for storm
drainage in the city. If passed,
the amendment to the 1855 home
rule bill would affect every
municipality in the State.
The Montgomery County
Delegation to the General AS
sembly will be asked to intro
duce the bill, which will carry
the endorsement, it is hoped, of
the Maryland Municipal League.
Basically, the new tax levy
would do this: abolish the re-
strictive frOnt-foOt benefit tax
which pnts te cost of a project
serving a whole area on just
the people whose property abuts
the project.
Also, it would stop levies of
city-wide taxes to cover debt
service on bond issues and mar.
row the field of taxation to the
specific storm drainage district
involved.
When the General Assembly
in 1855 passed the home rule
bill, it cautiously added safe
guards so small cities wouldn't
go hog-wild adding new taxes
for revenue.
One of those safeguards was
the proviso that Maryland Mu-
inequalities could not impose
new methods of taxation not
then in existence. This is the
