Doys Not Ended.
Ben-Gurion Soys

TEL AVN (JTA) = Israel's
"days of pioneering" have not yet
ended, Prime Minister David Ben
Gurion asserted at ceremonies
dedicating IsraePs latest "econom-
ic breakthrough," the official COM
mencement of the building of the
new town of Arad.
Standing on a bare hilltop in the
Judean desert, with his back to
the Dead Sea, the prime minister
spoke of the new town of Arad to
rise on the site-a town expected
to house 10000 people. There are
so families in Arad. But within
the next year, said Yosef Almogi,
Minister of Development, 1,200
workers will live there in new
housing.
Two thousand persons made their
way to the site of Arad through
desert roads. The town, northeast
of Beersheba, is located on the
ancient site of Tel Arad, near the
spot where the patriarch Abraham
gazed across the desert toward
Sodom and Gomorrah. A fortress
stood there in those days. Now
Arad, located near the Zohar gas
fields. will be the first Israeli set
tlement to use gas for street light
ing. cooking and heating.

Plans Made for
 Barrow Hospital

WASHINGTON R - Plans for construction at Barrow of the farthest north field hospital in this hemisphere depend on congress sional approval of needed funds, | 3 Public Health Service spokes- man said recently.
 The Services Division of h. dian Health is asking for $2.3 million in the 1962-63 budget for the 12-bed hospital and out natient clinic and for about $7O0,- 900 additional to provide 12 resi- dence quarters for doctors and nurses, total of about $3 million.
 The location, 200 miles above the Arctic Circle and not for from the spot where famed humorist Will Rogers lost his life in plan chrash with Wiley Post in the mid 1930's, is major con tributing factor to the high-cost for 12-bed hospital
 The spokesman said normally it is possible to reach nearby Point Barrow, northernmost point in the United States, by ship dur ing only few weeks in the year.
 The proposed hospital would re- place an existing facility which was declared unacceptable and fire hazard in 1852.
 The original one-story hospital at Barrow was constructed in 1930 with reported capacity of IT beds. Quonset huts have been added and there has been re- arrangement of space, with E beds currently reported available. There are no separate outpatient clinics or isolation facilities avail able.
 Barrow is one of the largest native villages in Alaska, with a native population of about 1900 within the 25, ,0o0-square-mile area served by the Barrow Health Service unit, including about 1,300 at Barrow itself.
 The existing hospital had 483
 admissions during the year ended
 June 10, 1860, not including
 births, and an average daily pa- tient census of 9, excluding new born. There were l0,052 medical outpatient visits and 3,1l1 dental outpatient visits. Those are the latest work-load figures available.

Big Land Withdrawal
 Gets Full-ScaIe Airing

JUNEAU M = A little resolu- ton over big land withdrawal got full-scale airing in the House yesterday.
 Before 1t was over, excused lawmakers on their way to lunch were hauled back under a call of the House to vote on the measure.
 The resolution protests the withdrawal of Ia million acres for the Kuskokwim National Wildlife Range, ordered in De- cember of 1860 by former Interior Secretary Fred Seaton.
 Its author, Rep. Ray Christian sen of Bethel, said the withdrawal was made despite the protests of the people of the area and asked in the resolution that the land be returned to its original status.
 The measure passed 23-17.
 The area was described by Rep. Grant Pearson, of Nenana, as one of the last great nesting grounds for black brant and cackling geese. He said under provisions of the withdrawal action, Alas kans are still permitted to hunt, fish and trap in the range.
 1T think this resolution would do more harm than. good" agreed Rep. Mark Jensen, of Douglas. Tt would point out the fact that such activities are permitted on the range"
 Rep. Morgan Reed, of Skagway, spoke in support of the measure
 T violently oppose these vast land withdrawals. I think every one of them should be protested, : Reed said.

Economic Union With us. Would Swallow Canada

VANCOUVER, BIC. tR = Canada would be swallowed without trace if it agreed to. an economic union with the Unit ed States, Vancouver economist said yesterday.
 John Davis, director of planning and research for the giant B.C Electric Public Utility, told a Chamber of Commerce luncheon that economic union would put Canada in the same position as Hawaii or Alaska--a tail unable to wag the dog.
 On the other hand he felt the European Common Market pre- sented golden opportunity for Canada. It would improve busi- ness, help in defense and leave the Canadian identity preserved.
 Western Europe now was a commercial entity as big as the US. and in position to bargain for tariff reductions. If Europe drove down US. tariffs on say chemicals, then Canada probably would get the same concessions from the US, he said.
