Undaunted by findings on the part of the U S Maritime Commission which have been extremely favorable to the American steamship companies ser ing Alaska, Attorney General Ralph Rivers has filed another petition with the commission, asking for a cancellation of the emergency interim agreement under which the companies have been operating This agreement, drawn under Public Law 12, was to run untjl July 1, 1948, while a permanent solution was being sought. Under its terms the steamship companies are subsidized The present rates were designed to provide for an overall increase in revenue of 35 per cent over rates in effect before last July At that time the Maritime Commission was satisfied with the evidence submitted that the rates would have to be increased by 85 per cent if the operators were to secure a reasonable return under private operation To prevent such a large increase, the present interim was authorized by Congress, under which s made up by a agreement 50 per cent of the necessary increase government subsidy. . In other words, if it was not for the present interim agreement, Alaskans would be fighting rates which would be 50 per cent higher than they are now. Our Attorney General now proposes that this agreement be terminated Just what he believes should be offefed in its stead is not clear. The rate investigation recently concluded was a complete flop as far as the Territory was concerned Practically all charg made by the Territory's representatives could not be backed with facts or else were not related to the issue. The Territory charged that the steamship com- panies sent ships out light loaded, quoting a number of examples. The testimony showed that the ships of the Alaska Steamship Company, which the Terri- were too low in relation to town freight. The examin- | ers reported that are high enough to cause some lass of this business and | if “canned salmon southbo ! northbound lost inevitable that il town freight will be compelled to pay higher The latest petilion charges the carriers with the responsibility of causing the use of ordinary mechani- cal devices for loading and unloading cargo at Alaskan | ports.

All of this protesting on the part of the Territory ’ —wild assertions with no proof and it is an expensive proposition. As we pointed out | a single “expert” hired by the Territory has been paid more han $30,000 for his services, travel, ete. It is hard to imagine what the total bill will] amount to.

Good housekeepers of those days bought eggs during the summer, when prices were lower, and preserved them in a waterglass solu- | tion, for use during the high-cost periods. As we re- member, the preserved food was quite good as the fresh—but, of course, we were younger. Many people still keep their eggs in waterglass, purchasing them during the weeks of plenty Other excellent ways of preserving eggs present | themselves. On long pack trips one of our guides 1s able to serve eggs which, after weeks in the wilderness and the summer heat, seem as fresh as if they'd been “picked” the dav before. He subjects the case of 2gg: destined for the packtrip to a scalding water bath for a few seconds. The hot water cooks the layer of albumen directly beneath the inside skin of each egg, ! and thus seals put all air. When thev are broken, days or weeks later, the cooked layer adheres to the shell—and the yolk and white come out as if heat never touched them Far in the interior of China we purchased eggs from native lads along the roads and trails. Each basket presented for sale would contain some boiled and some raw egg We learned earl” how to tell the | difference without breaking them.

Boiled down to the cold facts furnisned the Government by oil men, here is the oil outlook today: America’s entire petroleum re- serves are estimated at about 22 million barrels. Ot this, less than five million can be traced to new oil fields discovered during the past decade. The balance was add- ed through “revisions of previous estimates and extensions to known fields.” In other words, recent dis- coveries account for little more than two years’ supply at the pres ent rate of consumption.
