He sald Russia had obtained 10 new German submarines, four of {them of the latest wartime design. | “This type embodies both the Schorkel and high submerged speed. “This speed, combined with its deep submergence characteristics, makes it extremely effective in submarine wariare and most diffi- cult to detect ard counter-attack.” (The Schorkel is a German-de- veloped device. It is a sort of snout which can bé sent to the| surface, and permits the sub- marine’s diesel engines to operate while the sub lies submerged. Prior to its development, a submarine had to surface to recharge batter- ies by use of diesel power.) Sullivan told the committee the Russians now control four large German’ shipbuilding yards which mass-produced submarines during World War II. e, Takes Action Againsi Dis- puted ADB Pamphlet George Sundborg, Alaska Develop- the ference statements which also: alr srength of “55 combat groups"{SovleLs two years ago Threw the full welght of Arheri- is in irly good shape but at peace- He said the Commerce Depart- can préstige against General Lu- time strength, feeble in contrast to rment is handling the situation and cius D.

ASHINGTON—While the brass hats demand the drafting of men for the Army, they continue to let the big distillers pour out more and more whiskey, despite the fact that the nation’s industrial alcohol reserve remains dangerously low. Industrial alcohol was one of the most_strategic materials of the late way, being used in producing syn- thetic rubber, chemicals, insecti- cides, TNT and munitions. In fact industrial alcohol was considered so essential that more than 200,000,- 000 gallons were stockpiled in the year 1943 alone. ‘Today, however, only about 21, 000,000 gallons of industrial alcohol are stockpiled—enough to last 10 short days if war should break. ‘While the big distillers are ignor- ing Truman's pleas for voluntary rationing by adding to the already groaning supplies of whiskey in the warehouses, the Army and Navy! manitions board is doing absolute- | 1y nothing about stockpiling indus- trial alcohol for defense. Real fact is that we face a worse industrial alcohol shortage in event of an emergency, than before the last war—because at that time we had a big grain sur- plus. Now we have virtually no grain surplus, with foreign aid tak- ing about all we can spare.

The Moose and bear are do- ing fairly well, but wait when the hunting pressure really hits.” Gillham said there are only eight game agents to patrol 26,000 miles of coastline and 590,000 square miles of big-game country in Alaska. “The total money available Xor} patrol is $175000 per. year, which must be appropriated by Congress,” he added. “In the district around Fairbanks, which is the size of Tex-| as, we have one agent, and he must cover his section by foot, boat and plane.
