PAGE SIX SPECIAL WAIVER SOUGHT ON ISSUE OVER EXPLOSIVES A special subcommittee of the Iiouse Merchant Marine Commit- tee is now considering the advisa- bility of a special waiver from Coast Quard regulations in the unload- ing of expjosives at Alaska ports, following a recent hearing on the subject. Witnesses testifying were Vice Admiral Merlin O'Neill, Command- ant of the Coast Guard; Rear Ad- miral Alfred C. Richmond, ist- ant Commandant; Colonel John R Noyes Commissioner of Roads for Alaska; and M. Wilfred Goding, Acting Chief, Alaska Division of the Offiee of Territories in the In- terior Department. Delegate Bart- lett, a member of the House Mer- chant Marine and Fisheries Com- mittee was especially invited to sit in with the subcommittee In view of recommendations made by the Merchant Marine Fisheries Committee following the investigation after the South Am-} boy, New Jersey, explosion, where 31 men lost their lives and hundreds of persons were injured, the Coast Guard set up certain regulations limiting the amount of exp]nslvesl which can move over docks in the United States. These regulations as applied to the port of Seward have, according to officials concerned, been detri- mental to the construction program | in the Territory. At the subcommit- tee hearing it was pointed out that the hazard of unloading explosives at Valdez and Homer and trucking them long distances over the high- ways are probably much greater than using existing facilities at Seward. Although the recommendations made by the Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee in connection = The Want Ad Section in The Empire is YOUR marketplace. Ad is your best way to sell or buy .

This accounts for the effort being made to obtain | committee assent before granting a | waiver or waivers. | SECOND LARGEST LOAD | FROZEN FISH SHIPPED BY COLD STORAGE (0. Loaded out on the freighter Lu- cidor yesterday and today from Cold Storage were 750,000 pounds | of frozen fish for the Polar Fish- eries, Chicago, and the John Hagel Co., Boston.

Tobin of Ketchikan has been granted an award of an| Honor Medal by the Freedoms Foun- dation for his “significant work in the American Way of Life.” The| award was announced by General| Omar N. Bradley on Washington’s Birthday at Valley Forge, New York, when he personally presen- ted the highest awards in special ceremonies at the historic battle ground. The award to Editor Tobin was | one of seventy under the “Editor-| ials” classification and was for a| “Letter to the Editor” of the Ket-| chikan Daily News published in this | newspaper in 1950. It was the only award for such a letter and really 'with the South Amboy explosion | was a “letter from an Editor to an Editor.” It concerned danger to istic influences in the Pacific Coast Maritime Unions. The award of the medal was or-. dered by a distinguished jury after review of a massive number of entries in the editorial category. Presention of the medal - wiil be made through a West Coast Uni- versity, the date of presentation to be announced in March. Tobin’s award was the only one to a resitdent of Alaska. A total of $100,000 i:. cash awards will be made.

MISS STURGEON JOINS FWS OFFICE STAFF HERE Miss Mary Sturgeon arrived in Juneau over the weekend from Washington, D. C., and yesterday took over her desk as secretary in the office of the Fish and Wildlife Service Fisheries Management Divi- sion. Miss Sturgeon had been in the State Department in Washington some time but, hearing so much about Alaska in the capital these days, provoked an interest to come to the north and see the country first hand. So far she has been favorably impressed with all she has seen “And I know the more I see the more I am going to like” she de- el :nthusiastically, this morn- ing. Miss Sturgeon solved the housing problem almost immediately after her arrival and has taken an apart- ment at the Prouty residence on Gold Belt Avenue.
