Sigurd Wallstedt left: Juneau on the Princess Alice for Mooseheart, Tllinois, where he was to afiend ‘the annual convention on August 20 as a delegate from the Juneau lodge Miss Mary Young, proprietor of the Arcade Cafe, took passage for the South to spend several weeks vacationing. At a quarter to 5 the following afternoon the fire alarm was to be sounded by Fire Chief J.

That much was made clear by Mr. Davis when he said that the “question of what constituted aid and comfort to the enemy in the way of information” was to be up to the decision of the armed forces. It has been all too easy for Army and Navy authorities to lead themselves to believe that prac- tically all military news gives aid and comfort to the enemy. Even when there is only a remote pos- sibility, the Army or Navy censor is in a position to play the game safe. By releasing practically no military news, the military authorities may be cer- tain that no vital information is reaching the enemy. enemy. But at the same time, if this is the people’s war, the people aren’t going to fight it unless they know something about it There seems to be an attitude among censors and others in on the “know” that the people haven't any right to know what's going on. A member of Con- gress who recently gave a speech in Juneau ex- pressed this point of view when he said “there are a lot of things going on that the people don't know anything about and haven’t any damned right to | seers declare.

Alaska Benefitting By Sireamlining of U.S. Bureau of Mines g 8 the preliminary testing of deposits Under a new U. S. Bureau of Mines program to develop all strate- gic and critical minerals for the war | machine, the . Alaska mining in- dustry seems destined to receive a huge boost as a result of the war. The Bureau of Mines, under the direction of District Engineer Rob-\ ert 8. Sanford, now has nine proj- ects in Alaska for exploring and developing strategic minerals in- | cluding tungsten, nickel, molybde- num, copper, chorme, antimony, mercury and tin, Sanford announced today. This is part of the work being done throughout the United States and its Territories as a result of the recent streamlining of the Bureau of Mines to speed the expanded pro- gram of providing strategic and critical minerals for the nation’s war needs. Under the reorganization, three | regional offices were set up in the States and district engineers assign- ed to separate States and regions. Sanford is in complete charge of all of the Bureau of Mines work in Alaska. From his office in the Fed- eral Building in Juneau, formerly only the headguarters for an ex- ploration division, Sanford has tak- en over for Alaska all of the func- tions and duties in the field prev- iously assigned to the Mining, Met- allurgical an® Nonmetals divisions | of the Technologic branch. All func- | tions of the supervising engineer’s ' office and other duties formerly performed in Washington, D. C., have been transferred to Alaska under Sanford to speed the work of the bureau. Complete Charge As a result, the Alaska office now is responsible all the way from the preliminary selection of projects be- ing explored and developed through | and testing of milling possibilities, all the way to providing a product that can be sold and used in the | war effort. In this connection, Sanford urges all efforts ot be put forth at present to prevent the scrapping of still use- ful mining machinery in view of the needs for this machinery in the development of minerals and the necessity to making the machinery available to small operators. Part of the work being done in Alaska now is financed out of the regular appropriation of the Bureau of Mines, and part by a special ap- propriation made by the War Pro- duction Board. Gov. Ernest Gruen- ing was influential in gaining the WPB appropriation with which to supplement the work which was | carried on before the WPB’s support on Bureau of Mines funds Many Engineers Here The bureau now has 12 engineers in the field with crews, and two more engineers are on their way to the Territory. There are four mem- bers of the Bureau of Mines staff engaged in work in the Juneau office and two more on ' their way here. The rapidly expanding activities of the bureau has necessitated larger | office space, and the staff under Sanford soon will move to larger quarters, formerly occupied by the National Resources Planning Board regional office. Due to the nature of the explora- tion and development of mining properties with strategic minerals involved in a time of war, the loca~ tions of such projects may not yet be revealed. e Voting in El Sulvpdor is compul- sory for men, optional for women.
