 Job Problem In Five Ways

A five pronged effort to secure Alaskan jobs for Alaskans has been announced by Gov. William A. Egan.
 The effort will be carried on by five statewide subcommittee of the state Advisory Committee for State Manpower Development and Training headed by Gil Johnson, state labor commissioner.
 In announcing the effort, Gov Egan said. T believe this group can perform one of the most im- portant functions of any committee we have ever had.
 '1f we do not do something about occupational training of our own people we will be falling down on job that is important to all Alas ka. This is the first statewide con- certed effort in this field" the Gov ernor said.
 The five subcommittee assigned by Chairman Johnson are:
 TRAINING PROJECTS - Chair man, Ferrall Campbell, Operating Engineers Local BOP, Juneau; F. D. Chief, RIGA Service Company, An chorage; J. A. Kornfeind, Electrical Workers Local 1547. Fairbanks; William Woodfin, State Vocational Education Director. Anchorage.

Arctic OH Pure; Like Diesel;
 Used As Fuel Right From Ground

ter the autumn freeze-up of 1863. At present, all fuel requirements for such drilling and related oil field development must either be air-lifted into Umiat from Fair banks, distance of 450 miles, or barged in from Norman Wells in Canada, thousand miles away.
 In all cases, the present cost of fuel oil at Umiat ranges from ninety three cents to one dollar and thirty cents per gallon, with the total cost for fuel oil required to drill an oil well estimated at one hundred thousand dollars per we'll"
 The Interior Department put the cost this way: 'It appears that al- though a barrel of oil sells for $3 in Anchorage, it will cost in excess of $35 in Umiat."
 The Navy contemplates that the sales-purchase contract to be bid on the Umiat crude oil would pro- vide that the purchaser take title to the oil below the surface in ex- isting wells and therefore be re- sponsible for all production costs Under such circumstances, the bill would not involve the expenditure of any additional appropriated funds, but rather would increase government venues by the amount of the bid purchase price.
 The Interior Departments re- port suggested that the legislation be amended to include an addition al limitation as to time of the authorization "to make explicit that the authority would exist only until such time as petroleum supplies are available from other sources at a price comparable to the price of petroleum supplies produced and made available under the bill"

Congress Gets Reasons For Private Use Of Navy Oil

The Defense and Interior Depart ments and the Office of Emergency Planning have reported favorably to the Senate and House Armed Services Committee on legislation to authorize the Secretary of the Navy to sell until January 1, 1869, crude oil from the Umiat Field in northern Alaska in order to make local fuel available for use in oil and gas exploration in adjacent areas.
 Introduced in May by Senator Bartlett, with co-sponsorship by Senator Gruening, and by Repre- sentative Rivers, the bills permit oil from two wells in Naval Petro- leum Reserve No. 4 to be available | only to companies having oil and gas exploration contracts with the federal government to be used on machines and equipment, for drill ing and for heating
 Tn recent Years geologists have come to believe that the Arctic slopes are rich in great resources of oil and natural gas," Senator Bartlett stated in introducing the measure. "Oil companies are explor- ing and developing these federal lands, and hopes are expressed that before too many years producing field will be reality in the Arctic"
 That the DEP holds the same be- lief was apparent in the communi- cations sent to the House and Sen- ate committees by Director Edward A. McDermott in which he said: The sale of oil for such purpose would make only slight reduction in the Umiat Fields total reserves and might contribute to the dis covery and development of reserves in the general area"
 The Navy Department, reporting in behalf of the Defense Depart ment, estimated that less than one percent of the oil in the 6.000-acrt field within the g million-acre re- serve would be used

"The crude oil at Umiat is pro- duced from re lativ ly shallow wells, completed for the most part in the permafrost," the Navy De- partment declared. Tt is of such a composition that it may be used to fuel diesel engines just as it comes out of the ground. Two ex- isting wells in the field are con- Sidered to be almost immediately capable of accomplishing the pro- duction envisioned by this bill. It is estimated that their combined productive capability during the five years that production would be authorized by this bill could ap- proximate a total of 5OO,O00 bar relS.

Stating that a "conservatively reasonable estimate of the present Director of Naval Petroleum and Oil Shale Reserves places at 50 million barrels the recoverable oil in the Umiat Field, the Navy report said that competent petroleum en- gineers have made estimates rang ing from 30 million to 122 million barrels.
 The SEABEES in 1945, during Navy exploration of Naval Petro- leum Reserve No. 4, discovered the Umiat Field, estimated to be as much as 5000 acres in size Eight successful wells were drilled in the field before exploration was sus- pended in 1854.

Fishermen Have Good Season In
 North Gulf Area

The longest and most productive odd-year season of salmon fishing in Prince William Sound ended Aug. 19 with a total catch of 6.3 million fish.
 It was estimated by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game that another 2.4 million salmon escaped to streams to reproduce their kind.
 Pink salmon composed 5.2 million of the caught fish, and 1.8 million of those that escaped. One million of the caught fish and one-half million of those that escaped were chum salmon, it was reported.
 In addition. 45,000 red salmon, of a total run of 10000 fish, were taken from the Coghill River. This fishery was first developed by the Department in 1861. Fishermen were not allowed to take red sal- mon from the Eshamy District, where a poor run was predicted. The great run of pink and c1un1 salmon in the Prince William Sound area was predicted prior to the season by the Department. This predicting service was started in 1860.
 The big run contrasted sharply with the small catch of salmon this summer in the Bristol Bay area. which has been declared an eco- homie disaster area because salmon failed to show this season.

 A man in San Francisco got suspicious when he listened to two painters inside high tank giggling for 15 minutes without stopping.
 Nothing could be that funny" he concluded and called another man who was nearby.
 The one he signaled to, a super intendent for a chlorine company, clambered into the tank only to discover the painters reeling about The combination of heat and paint fumes affected them like laughing gas. Then he giggled himself.
 An ambulance was summoned and all three men were taken to the h hospital where they were treated for gas poisoning.

Porter: What is the role of
private brands in price cutting?
NickersOn: The private
brands, which sell under the
supermarket type of philosophy
big volume. low profits, min
imum service, no frills- have
been taking a bigger share of
the market each year. There
are no national figures, but in
some markets, such as st. Louis
and Kansas City, they do about
half of the business. In De-
troit 1t is more like 20 per cent,
and in the Northeastern States
it isn't that high.
Porter: How do priva t e
brands compare on prices?
/ NickerSOn: Private bran d S
sell for a cent or more a gallon
less than the nationally adver-
tised brands, and some COM
panies have brought out So
called sub-regular grades of
gasoline to compete with them.
Porter: Since prices have
been so unfavorable to you,
how come profits have held up
so we'll?
NickersOn: The domestic oil
companies have been having a
harder time than the interna-
tional oil companies. While
prices abroad have also been
under serious competitive pres
sure, they have not dropped so
sharply.
Porter: What lies ahead for
oil companies in the Unite d
States?
NickersOn: Other industries
have learned to live with over

learn to live with it, too. The
Government import quota pro-

to import oil on a formula re-

tends to encourage overproduc-

Trend Uncertain

/ AS a gasoline consumer, you
have had a better break on
prices in recent months than
in many years particularly II
you live in a price war area.
What . causes gasoline price
wars? Where are gas prices
heading in 1868?
Here, from Albert L. Nicker-
son, chairman of the board of
Socony Mobil Oil Co., are COM
ments to these and other ques-
tions about gasoline prices.
Porter: In spite Of recent
price wars, haven't gas prices
been rising during the past few
years?
NickersOn: No. Gasolin e
prices actually have been 60
ing down, but this has been
more than counteracted by in
creasing taxes. Exclusive OF
taxes, gas prices at the pump
today are only about 3 per cent
higher than in 1851, but take!
are up over so per cent. Taxes
now average more than IL
cents a gallon-a third of the
price a customer pays.
Porter: What lies benin d
falling prices and the price
wars?
NickersOn: We have always
had a lot of competition in
this business. All of the oil
companies are very ambitious
and in recent years they have
been moving into new areas
reaching for new markets. This
has greatly stiffened the ira
ditional competition in those
markets.
