Rivers, the Territory’s Attorney General, said todav that a proposed amendment to aviation regulations would eliminate all pas- senger carrying by charter airlines to and from Alaska. He was referring to a proposed CAB classification called “Non-Certified indirect cargo carriers” and allowance of exemp- tion of air carriers which engage in air transportation of property only between Alaska and the U. S. Rivers argued that all companies should be permitted to haul pas- sengers because that would other- wise cut down air passenger service to the Territory and would deprive the air cargo lines from a back haul of passengers. His objections were forwarded to the CAB in Washing- | ton, D. C.

District Court against Robert Patrick Town- send on grounds of incompatibility. They were married April 13, 1946 at Douglas and there are no chil- dren or property right involved.

NEW MACHINE GIVING EARTH REAL JITTERS Philadelphia—Giving the earth “the jitter: s the latest step in con- verting sandy ground and marsh- lands into land firm enough to sup- port construction This is done by a mechanism known as the “vibroflotation mach-| ine” which utilizes powerful vibra- tions and jets of water. An unbal-| anced weight revolving in the 13- fcot long shaft at 1,800 revolutions per minute produces the violent vi- brations. The machine, which weighs 2500 pounds, is suspended from a con- struction crane and bores into the soft ground as it ‘is lowered. During | the boring, the vibrations break up | |loose particles of earth which are| |then packed by jets of water fed| |through the machine’s head near the vibrator unit. Richard H. Demott, vice president | of the SKF Industries, Inc., report- ing on the performance of anti- {friction bearings during the first | U.S. tests of the device, said that an \arm of 100 square feet can be packed |to any required depth up to 100 fest with each application of the| machine Demott explained that the mach- ine, originally built and tested in Europe, was constructed by the Ealdwin Locomotive Works at Ed- dystonc, Pa He said that the machine can re- claim loose, sandy soil or earth so | that it will support large buildings,’ airport runways and water retaining |dams," and will be valuable in reg) | claiming sandy ground and marsh-} |land.
