SENATOR THOMAS GIVES VIEWS ON PACIFIC DEFENSE: TELLS OF TRIP MADE TO ALASKA; HE AND OTHERS MAINLY CONCERNED WITH INDIAN WELFARE (My Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—Aft- er a month’s tour, Senator Thom- as of Oklahoma has decided that! Alaska in a good Pacific defense,} for seals, | vseful as a safeguard rich in salmon and large scale mining, but no place for d'sheart- | ened midwestern iarmers, Thomas toured Alasxa in com- pany with Senators Frazier of North Dakota and Shipstead Minnesotz. They were concerned with Indian wel‘are. A trip to the noted project was thrown in as a sideline but turned out to be one of their most impressive experi- ences, Sees Project Folding Just how forcefu'ly Thomas can impress congress with his find- ings is problematical, but he against spending much more money on Matanuska. The project won’t work, is already folding up, he said, and is valuable only in that it showed that Alaska is not a fit country for farming, When white-haired, red-faced Senator Thomas has a subject on his mind, he recites it to inter- viewers almost as if he had pre- of! | | if ft dd | Working With Wood | Helps Cure Jitters H (By Associated Press) KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 9.—Got the jitters?

Besidcs showing a clear and at- tractive presentation of the state’s entire highway system, the map jincludes a pictorial mav of over 100 of the principal points of in-| jocrest and natural resources with- tin the borders of the state. i Inc‘uded in these are a repro- ; duction of the southernmost home {in the United States and of the open-air aquarium beth in Key West, also a picture of Fort Jef- ferson at Dry Tortugas.

Garden crops mature so fast under such a flood of sun (from seed to table in two weeks) that they are nothing much but water, Radishes are flavorless as icicles, Potatoes won’t keep. To permit storage, settlers have to hent. their potatoes, te sfeam> off some of the water and that leaves them shriveled and ugly, unmar- ketable. Oats can’t mature, the season is so short, and when cut for hay turns black, he says. The same with grass, The ground is frozen for 500 feet down, and thaws out only about 14 inches during the short summer. To an Oklahoman _ sea- soned to much heartening sun- light, that is just like farming on an iceberg. He predicts the sett!trs won't stay, once the federal govern- mcnt stops paying for the roads, schools and other civic needs. Al- ready 75 families have gone, leay- ing about 250 in the valley, The cost of providing them with homes, machinery, livestock, schools and incidenta’s hzs mounted to $14,000 a farm, Thomas says, whereas the cost was supposed to be held to; about $3,500. Feund’ No Side Line That is about all from Senator Thomas abéut Matanuska except to add that he found no side line the settlers can follow. There are no fut-bearing animals in the vi- cinity, salmon fishing requires a large investment and mining even larger. He saw a bright spot. Anyone in Alaska who wants a reindeer can go shoot one and haul it home without more ado, he says, That is easiest farther north. where there are more of them than around Matanuska. Reindeer meat is good to eat, but already the cat- tle-growing tes are enacting laws to prevent it campeting with beef. So as an industry he that, too, as limited. He would vote for an appropri- ation bil to establish an air base in Alaska as good protection against Asiatic invasion, WATER PURIFICATION METHODS STUDIED (By Associated Press) 4 CHICAGO, Dec. 9.—New water purification methods are being studied by Armour Institute of Technology scientists with a $30,- 000 filtration plant, designed to duplicate any water condition, and big enough to serve a town of 600 persons.
