SEE OIL INDUSTRY GROWTH

Alaska's petroleum industry wit
messed major increase in both ex-
ploratory drilling and geophysical
activity in 1861, according to the
annual report recently released by
the State Department of Natural
Resources, Division of Mines and
Minerals.
Twelve companies, compared with
18 in 1860, participated in surface
mapping in nine Alaska basins.
Major emphasis last year was di-
rected to the Brooks Range-Arctic
slope, Gulf of Alaska and Cook In
let area with less attention given to
the Copper River Basin, Alaska
Peninsula, Nushagak Basin, Porcu-
pine-Kandik area, Middle Tanana
Basin and the Alexander Archi-
pelago.
About 90 exploratory wells were
drilled or drilling at the close of
the year; two of these resulted in
new gas field discoveries, two in
new gas zone discoveries, and four
as extensions of existing production.
Here in the Fairbanks-Nen
area, described as the Middle Tana-
ma Basin, the report, as previously
announced, refers to the Union Oil
of California intention to drill a
photographic test early this year,
1862. This area in 1861 became the
center of land play involving
approximately 100000 acres.
The Brooks Range-Arctic Slope
led all others for. total humber of
field parties. Ten parties represents
ing five oil companies completed
26.5 party months in 1861. Geophysi-
cal operations may commence this
year and perhaps one we'll will be
drilled.

Alaska Legionaires
To Lead Parade
At Nat. Convention

The Alaska American Legion, this
year winner of the Bodenhamer
Trophy, has been designated to lead
the Legion's National Convention
Parade, Monday, October 9Th, in
Las Vegas.
The Bodenhamer Trophy is
awarded to the department having
the highest percentage of its prev
ious four year average as of mid
night on May l, 1862.
According to Department Com
mander c. Russell Huber, the AM
erican Legion of Alaska not only
will lead the national parade, but
will have preference in seating at
the convention hall and in housing
assignments. A goodly number of
Alaskans are expected to attend the
convention.

Bradley Lake OKd
By Budget Bureau

The Bureau of the Budget last
week approved a proposal by the
Corps of Engineers for the construc-
ton of a $4,000 XIV power plant
and dam on Bradley Lake on the
Kenai Peninsula, near Homer. The
dam, which would help to alleviate
the existing power shortages in the
Observation-Disclosures Val
ley, would cost an estimated $45,-
10000, and would have an annual
operation and maintenance cost of
$258,O00.
The dam would be built by the
Corps of Engineers and the power
marketed by the Interior Depart
ment.

nomination for representative IN
Congress in the primary election,

are now facing could have been
avoided. He suggested that in the
future. such projects be given more
publicity and hearings. rather than
attempting to ram them down the
lecks of the people.
Financial Report?
81 still think it's little high s. :.
it should be reduced" said .LaDessa
Nordale, another property owner in
the area. She went on to say she
would like to see a financial report
of the city, such as the school board
gives out, so people could see how
many bonds have been voted for
and how many have been issued
eff we had had financial report,
maybe we would all feel little
better about it."
The Council action came Mon
day night after public hearing on
the project, which had been stopped
when over so per cent of the af-
fected property owners filed pro-
tests against the project.
Protest Story
The protests were based on the
share of the project they had to pay
and the length of time they had to
pay it.
William Green told the Council
that this was the first time many of
these people had ever said no
to the City but "some time the poor
old taxpayer has to. call a halt to
what he can pull out of his pocket
every year" -.
Following Green, various other
property owners of the area raised
their objections.
At the conclusion of the hearing
the Council voted to reduce the
property owners share to one half
and to extend the payment period
to 20 years.
City Manager Robert Crow stated
that such a cut might mean either
an increase in next years tax levy
or cut in the City's programs for
next year.
The resolution is now open for
protests for Is days. If less than so
per cent of the property owners in
the area do not object to the cur
rent resolution, it is anticipated that
preparatory work on the project
may begin in July, although it is
unlikely that very much actual
paving wil1>be done this year.

The Norfolk correspondent of

quoted in The Star Of Feb

inexpressible sorrow I an

The news that Theodore Wiprud

his own reelection as Chancellor that
he would step down from the office in
1963-approximately two years before
new general elections will be due. AS
the larger party in the coalition, the
CDU expects to name this interim sue
cessor from its own ranks but the intra-
party factionalism that has developed
over the years and the likelihood that
the Free Democrats may demand new
rewards for remaining in the coalition
leave many uncertainties.
With all this, DR.. Adenauer still is
far from out of command in either his
party or his governmental post. Despite
his age and increasingly frequent minor
illnesses-he has had two attacks of
grippe or influenza since his visit here
last October-he still displays the great
est skill and influence on the West
German political scene. It is likely that
he will continue to do so until he fixes
his own precise date for retirement.

Evolution in Bonn

DR.. Konrad Adenauer's reluctant
withdrawal from the role Of absolute
leadership of West Germany's long
dominant Christian Democratic Union
is indicated in reports from Bonn that
he has agreed to appointment of an
executive chairman of the national
political party. While the 86-year-old
Chancellor of the Federal Republic will
retain his own title of chairman of the
party which he helped organize in 1916,
the new executive office will outrank
those of four deputy chairmen and
presumably will take from Dr. AIDE
nauers hands large share of the purely
political authority and management.
Josef Dufhues, now Minister of Interior
in the State of North Rhine Westphalia,
has been identified as the choice for the
new post with party ratification of the
plan expected at a convention in the
spring.
Accompanying word on this partial
shift of party responsibility to younger
hands was speculation that the CDU
convention also will name another
"uuderStudy" to DR.. Adenauer, namely,
its choice of successor to the post of
Chancellor of the government. After
the Christian Democrats lost their ma
jority in the Bundestag n the general
election of last September, DIR. Adenauer
promised as a part of the agreement on
setting up Christian Democratic-Free

Bubblehedded

AS one-time ardent collector of
and dealer in pictures of big league ball
players, we take very dim view Of the
Federal Trade Commissions breakdown
on Brooklyn concern trading as Tops
Chewing Gum, Inc.
Some so years ago, as we remember
1t, these pictures came with a certain
brand OF cigaretteS-an item that was
strictly forbidden by higher authority
in the household. Nevertheless, under
the then-prevailing free enterprise sys-
tenn, 1t was possible for resourceful
youngster to more or less corner the To-
cal market, and the trading rights which
went along with this monopoly were not
to be sneezed at.
Consequently, even after all these
years, our sympathy goes out to Tops,
which deals in bubble gum. It seems
that Tops has signed up virtually all
Of the big league ball players, present
and prospective, throwing in a photo
graph OF Roger Maris or a Wally Moon
with each package of its product. And
1t comes as no surprise to us to learn
that the current younger generation is
definitely not interested in other brands
Of bubble gum.
But times have changed, and Big
Brother, meaning the Federal Govern
ment, has moved in. The Federal Trade
Commission, solemnly declaring that
Tops Chewing Gum, Inc, has created
a monopoly ito the detriment of free
and open competition in the bubble gum
and picture card industries" charges
that the law of the land has been vio-
lated. We have but two comments.
First, life was better in the good old
days. Second, we should think that the
ETC would have more important things
to do with the taxpayers dollar.

Spy EXCHANGE

The immediate reaction to the news
that Francis Gary Powers has been re-
leased, in exchange for a convicted
Soviet spy, will be one of very real graft
fication.
1t Is true, Of course, that Capt.
Powers chose to accept the risk of flying
his U-2 plane on an espionage mission
deep into RUSSIA risk for which he
was we'll paid as compared to the earn
1ngS OF regular military pilots. But 1t Is
also true that his narrowing experience,
not to mention his sentence to serve 10
years in a Russian jail, aroused the COM
passion of whole Nation. We are glad,
and we are sure all Americans are glad,
that Capt. Powers is back home.
The exchange Git is not officially
described as Such) sends Col. Rudolf I.
Abel back to the Soviets, and clso brings
about the release Of an American stu
dent who had been detained in East
Germany for undisclosed reasons since
last August. The case of COL Abel is
interesting Convicted as master spy"
he was serving a 30-year penitentiary
sentence. Ordinarily Russian espionage
agent, II caught, is simply ignored by
the Soviet authorities. They pretend that
he never existed. For some reason, how
ever, they evidently want Col. Abel back
perhaps to have something to exhibit
as quid pro quo for the release of Capt.
Powers, possibly to deal with him in
their own fashion for bungling his as
signment. In any event, his release can
hardly prejudice the United States, for
Col, Abel's career as spy is over.
There remains the Soviet assertion
that Capt. Powers was released because
of the pleas of his relatives and also be-
cause Of "desire for an improvement
in relations between the USSR and the
USA." This last cannot be dismissed out
of hand. We hope it is true. But the
words will have to be supplemented by
more than this one deed before it will be
safe to assume that new and better
day is dawning.

OAS and Cuba

Let me congratulate you
upon your extensive coverage
of the Cuban situation, and
your Illuminating editorials
on the subject.
In regard to the recent
conference at Punta del Este,
we Americans must be happy
to know that 20 out of the 81
nations forming the GAS, de-
clared the Cuban regime as
incompatible with the inter-
American system.
Such a unanimity is a total
victory against communism,
and a solid front against the
penetration Of Marxism-
Leninism in our hemisphere.
The fact that six nations
disagreed with the majority
in regard to the proper pro-
cedure to expel Cuba from
the GAS, should be inter-
preted as secondary, since the
same six nations gave their
votes in the main declara-
ton on incompatibility.
The GAS and its secretary
general must be congratulated
for the work performed in
this conference.
Punta del Este is a symbol
of spiritual strength in the
Americas, and its conse-
quences are placing Fidel
Castro in a very difficult
situation before his own
people, now awakening from
a three-year-old nightmare.

Agitation for creation of
a building to house the Ma
tons vital records was re-
newed so years ago. The need
for a National Archives
Building had been an issue
off and on since 1878. Funds
for it were not voted by
Congress until 1925 and it
was not opened until 1885.
The Star of February IL,
1912, said tor Miles
Poindexter, of Washington,
had introduced a bill direct
ing the Secretary of the
Treasury to prepare designs
and estimate costs of an
archives structure. "Presi-
