Builders Develop Permafrost Science After 2 Years Alaskan Experience

of the monuments to modern con- structlon in permafrost. The multi story structure has foundations that rest on gravel fill placed after 20- foot strata of permafrost was ex- cavated.
 The military station at Bethel is located on field of permafrost that Is deeper and warmer than usual It is called marginal perma- frost because it's temperature is only a degree or two below freez- ing. Excavation not being prac- tical. the engineers decided on pihng foundations.
 The wood and steel piling was set in drilled holes and mechanic ally frozen in place during the cold winter months of 1856. Attached to each was a device to refreeZe the ground if it starts thaWing. Thus the stability of the foundations was guaranteed.
 Each project presented different problems. At Barter Island the per mafrost is frozen water Doubtless ly the island would dissolve if thaWed. Kotzebue permafrost is kind of ice about the consistency of ice cream under a layer of tundra. The Texans who claimed Alaska would be smaller than the Lone Star State if it thaWed were wrong. The thaWing would lop off a few land masses the size of Tex. as counties but would leave enough to make two of Texas and a bit left over the size of Rhode Island.
 The study of permafrost is be- coming of major importance to scientists of the free world who foresee the time when cities the size of Seattle are built on the cold, cold ground of Arctic Alaska and Canada. The work of Army En- glneers has proven it can be done and that research pays.

GVEA Blames REA for
 Canceling Nuclear Plant

FAIRBANKS LR - The Golden Valley Electrical Association - with criticism tossed at the Rural Identification Administration - revealed Saturday it has dropped plans for a nuclear generating plant
 The GVEA said it was doing so because the General Electric Go. was abandoning the small nuclear pant business.
 GE, in a letter to GVEA, said it was withdrawing from the field because of the lack of demand for the small plants. GE indicated this was due to obstacles raised by REA.
 "The tactics of delay and un- reasonable design and guarantee requirement by the REA Washing ton, DC, office has at last borne the bitter fruit of arrested Alas kan development" the GVEA charged
 The association said it plans to construct $5O0,0OO coal-fired mine-mouth plant in the Healy area.

GOLD BILL ADVANCES

Wf..5HINCTON in - Legisla- tion to subsidize domestic gold mining and increase mineral re- search was approved by Senate Interior subcommittee last week.
 One bill would authorize the federal government to support a portion of the cost of mining do- mestic gold. Mining firms would be compensated for the increase in production costs over those of 194O, the year in which American gold mining hit its production peak. The price of gold. begged at $35 an ounce, would be unchanged.

Government Looks for
 New ShOrt-Haul Plane

A proposed government-industry program to stimulate the develop ment and production of an eco- nomlcally-feasible, short-haul, pas senger-cargo aircraft was an- nounced last week by N. E. Halaby, Administrator of the Federal Avia- ton Agency.
 The aircraft would be designed primarily to meet the needs of United States local service airlines and the short-haul operations of other airlines in this country and abroad. This market presently is domlnated by the DC-3, an aircraft which dates back 27 years.
 Concurrently, FAA also proposes to undertake an economic analysis to better illuminate the potential market for the short-haul trans port. Current estimates range from 700 aircraft to more than 1000.
 The aircraft should carry 14 to A persons and be capable of converting to partial or all cargo operations in a few minutes.
 Grew should consist of pilot and co-pilot.
 Additional payload should be between 800 pounds.
 The non-refueled range should include four 100-mile segment! with adequate fuel reserves for in srument operations and provi sion for optional added tankage
 Aircraft should be able te operate from airports with 3,00t foot runways.
 Cruise speed should be al least 200 miles per hour.
 The propulsion system should consist of at least two turbine en- zines of minimum size.

SMALL TRACTS NO LONGER AVAILABLE ON UNCLASSIFIED ALASKA LANDS

It was announced last week, by the Bureau of Land Management that the public can no longer file small tract applications on un- classified public domain lands. This order became effective Mo- vember 1, 1863. This is another step in the Bureaus policy of updating the public land laws The small tract closure has no effect on the other land laws such as homesteads, homesites, trade and manufacturing sites and head quarters sites.
 Areas which are suitable for small tract development will be so classified by the authorized of ficer of the Bureau of Land Man agement. Notice of these openings will be published in the Federal Register and will also be posted in the Land Office. Upon publica- tion in the Federal Register, the classified lands will be open for small tract applications.

IelHldIfOSt or cold earth con- structlon is the type done in ma Jor portion of Alaska where the frost does not leave in seasonal thaWs.
 A budding permafrost science is emerging from 23 years experi- ence building in Alaska. During this period beginning prior to World War II, military defense establishment was built mainly un- der supervision of the US. Army Engineer District, Alaska. The de- fense construction was the first large coordinated effort in the fire world to build in permafrost, The cold hard facts of permafrost all had to be learned, often pain fully.
 The permanently frozen or cold earth is a legacy Of the prehis- toric ice ages. The great ice sheets have retreated from much of the land they once covered but the chilled earth, frozen to depths of | 1,50O feet in some places in Alas ka, still is frozen.
 Short summer seasons in arctic Alaska thaW the tundra that cov- CTS permafrOst areas to depths that 
 vary from Is inches to six feet from the surface Beyond that, the ground doesn't thaW except under unusual conditions that pre- vail on construction project where the insulating mat of tundra has been removed, exposing frozen ground to thawing.
 Early work on the Alcan High way by Army Engineers was frus- trated by the rapid thaW of per mafrost after the bulldozers had cleared the right for the 1,6OO mile road The clearing promptly became bottomless hog baths of mud and water. The en- glneers, then very new to the task, sought to firm up the roadbeds With fill when available. or with trees taken from the right-of-Way, but they soon learned that the GUS tomary way of making good road beds wouldn't work in permafrost. l The ultimate solution was to leave the tundra cover intact and build | on top. This method succeeded in lowering costs and speeding con structlon of the Alcan. The meth cd IS still followed by roadbuilders on Alaska and Canada permafrost.
 After the war, it was not always possible to set heavy construction like a cup on a tablecloth. The problem of foundations has been the object of practical research by the Alaska District for the last l| years, when the military bases were being built at Fairbanks. The hospital at Fort Wainwright is one

NEW DELHI.-The Chinese
attack in November and the en-
suing upheaval precipitated the
first real political crisis that
India has known in is years
since independence.
The danger from the north
that united the Indian people
and rekindled a new sense Of
nationalism had a different
meaning for the political lead
ers. 1t ended once and for all
the undisputed rule of Prime
Minister Jawaharial Nehru and
for a time seemed likely to un-
seat him altogether.
The crisis from the begin
ming was strictly a family af-
fair. After the early defeats,
the ruling Congress Party was
badly in need of a scapegoat.
The logical target was Mr..
Nehru's old friend and closest
confidant. Defense Minister
v. K. Krishna Menon, whose
military policies al d left-lean-
ing sympathies had aroused
deep antagonism among the
party conservatives
The showdown came at a

group, however, % had pledged
themselves beforehand to vote
against Mr.. Nehru himself If
he forced the issue. In the end,
the Prime Minister capitulated
and an era of Indian political
history came to an end.
At the time, many leaders of
the party we're convinced that
sooner or later Mr.. Nehru also
would have to go. At 73, they
argued, he was too old and too
closely identified with India's
pacifist past to assume the role
of a wartime leader. The time
had come to replace him with
a younger, more vigorous man,
The politicians. however. had
reckoned without public opin-
ion. It quickly became evident
