PAGE TWO BLITZED BLCND, COMELY BRUNETTE JOIN ANS STAFF AS SECRETARIES Two new secretaries—one blond, [ one brunette—now grace the oflice | of Ralph W. Mize, district construc- tion engineer for the Alaska Na-| tive Service. | The blond is vivacious Miss Mona Jacobsen, a former Scottish lass but more lately of Okinawa, where she was secretary to the Fx;mcr“ Wing Commander for 17 months. She arrived in Juneau via Johnston Island, Guadelan Island, Guam, Honolulu, San. Francisco and Seat- | tle. In the last city she heard of | the work here, and almost beforc she knew it, she was se! down'at the airport on Octoter 31 But before Okinawa, Miss Jacob- | sen’s travels were like a chapter out of the Argosy of Geography— | with a war’ thrown in for excite- ment and misery. After attending Glasgow Univer-| sity, she went to live in Taunton, Devonshire, England, until after| the blitz in Coventry in September, 1940. She then joined the Army Territorial Service, Intelligence Corps, of the British Army, and embarked for far-off Singapore. There she underwent her second Llitz as the Japanese stormed down on the Malayan stronghold. Taken prisoner, she was kept there nine months, when she was transferred to notorious Bilibid Prison in the Philippines. From there she was sent to Santo Tomas and Coban- towan, both in Manila. Most of th time she was imprisoned by hersell because she was British, and not allowed to mix with the American prisoners. Eventually, through eiforts the American Army, she was changed, and was sent to Canada She crossed “the line” and entered the States, enlisting in the Women's { Army Corps. Because of her know ledge of the Far East, she was ser to Gen. Douglas MacArthur's head- quarters, and attended the tribunalj trials in Manila after the su der. After being honoratly charged, she went into civil serv. on Ckinawa. She left there August 24. 2 Probably the most remarkable thing she did, from the standpoint of other recently arrived Juneau- ites, is the fact she found an apartment not only for herself, but for her co-worker, Miss Marilyn MacLeod, who arrived Tuesday to work at the next desk to her in Mize's outer office. Miss MacLeod—the brunette—at- tended Ro! elt High School in Seattle, her home, and as she put| it—"“traveled around a bit" before applying for the civil service posi- tion. While she hasn't been in Juneau long enough to form an impres- sion of the city, Miss Jacobsen de- clared it one of the most friendly| towns she has ever seen—“"and I don't say that simply because I'm in Juneau.” She said Mize and Reinholt Bms&.; ANS assistant superintendent, were now in Portland, Ore, following their visit to a health center in Battle Creek, Mich, and that they were expected here shortly. SUBMARINE TUSK IS IN COLLISION IN NORTH MANEUVERS GROTON, Conn,, Nov. 10—(P— The submarine Tusk, damaged yes- terday in a collision with the supply ship Alderbaran in maneuvers off Labrador, was proceeding under escort today to the U.S. Naval Base| at Argentina, Newfoundland. A destroyer is accompanying the damaged undersea craft, a subma- rine base spokesman said. He de- clared there had been no injuries or loss of life in the aceident. of ex- | | ROOF FOR SENATE ! specially connected with intricate equipment | |an GuineaPigsto Dial B-r-r-r-r In Cold Tests U.

They themselves will constructed hooded wear & which can measure the skin tem- perature at 38 different parts of | the body—or of a single toe. The four-man research team will headquarter at Ladd Air Force! Base in Fairbanks, and test equipment in temperatures ranging downward to 40 degrees below zero. Dr. Loren D. Carlson, Associate Profgssor of Physiology and Bio- physics, will head the expedition. He said the whole thing works something like a telephone switch- board. Dial System “If you want to know how cold a big toe is, you dial it on the machine. Over the wires from the big toe comes the answer, which 5 recorded on a graph,” he explains Ycu can get a report from points on the body, or from ainy desired number of them, and you can also record the wount of heat loss from various s of the body. 1e group also will have another e of equipment connected: with g hest panel cn the suit. It mea- ures the respira oxygen and carbon dioxide c‘(mamo of subject. Water vapor content and temperature of his exhaled air also is measured, to indicate the total heat production of his body Will Take Turns Other members of the group are Dr. Allan Young, a research sociate; Wayne Quinton, elec! engineer, and Henry Burns, con- sulting engineer. They'll take turns wearing the wired suit. All equip- | ment wjll be mounted in a mulmv laboratory. The project is sponsored by the Air Materiel Command of the Air Force. A preliminary study was| made in Alaska last winter, and the 38 as- {new equipment was designed on the | basis of needs determined then. Objectives are to find the lim-| under ex-| (its of body reactions treme cold and estimate the adap- tability of men working under those conditions. Dr. Carlson concluded. “When this is determined, should know what physical char- acteristics make man best suited for Arctic life, and we should have indication of how the body can be made more resistant to extreme cold.” TAXES BLAMED FOR LACK OF PRIVATE MINERAL SEARCH The national blamed today for lack of private mineral exploration in Alaska. The chmge was brought by S. H. Lorain, regional director for Alaska | of the U.S. Bureau of Mines, who spoke at the noon meeting of the suit | the | | all | total | the | we | tax ~situation was/| 1 ?thing in mind, the President as- THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA Chamber of Commerce in the Gold Room of the Baranof Hotel. Lorain said that mineral explora- |tion in the continental Wnited \Ct.xtos had dropped as the result |of taxes shortening profits from mining there. He said companies wouldn't invest in Alaskan ventures !when they could not afford to rxp!nro in the United States. He brought this out in speaking the development of the Bureau| of Mines in Alaska, and pointed out that mineral investigation by the Bureau is hoped to bridge the gap between prospecting and de- velopment of finds by large com- | panies. Lorain, who worked as a mining ! engineer in Alaska before joining the Bureau of Mines, said that| | prospectors who opened up Alaska | “ran over the countr and were | interested only by outstanding out- | crops. i Lack of transportation limited de- | velopment to the outstanding out- | crops, he said, and when these; | were worked out the companies left. NOT PESSIMISTIC ‘ He does not agree with the pessi- mistic view of Alaska's future® in mining. \ He descrized Alaska as “highly, mineralized,” and pointed out that} |any country which can produce »such mines as Kennecott, Latouche, | of th 280 deluxe suites, the Ho(el El Panam.. bduz built in Panama City, Canal Zone, at a cost of $5,000,000, will open next September, Alaska Treadwell and Alaska Ju-! w neau can certainly look forward to| |a future of mining after turther | exploration and development. H Lorain said the Bureau hopes to! investigate the Territory district by | district to determine possibilities for development of mining. Ex-| ploratory work will begin in areas! which are known to have promise, | he said. Meanwhile work will be carried out in the field of metallurgy, min- | ing economics and statistics, and coal field exploration and safety. MUCH WORK PLANNED H He pointed out that the region- alization of the bureau will speed, analytical work and bring Alaska’s| | mining problems to men who are | on the spot in Alaska. H | The executive board of the} | Chamber of Commerce announced | the nominations of Dr. John Clem- ents, Robert Boochever, Chris Wy- ller, Felix Toner, Jack Burford, and A. W. Blackerby for positions on the executive board. Further nominations will be accepted at the | meetings held tefore the electioh | December 8, it was announced.
