May Let Present
Law Expire June 30
{Continued from Page One*
without a strike was predicted by
Stanley B. Long, counsel for the
Alaska Steamship Company and
the Northland Transporta .ion Co
i Long said disagreement over
the interpretation of the law prob
ably will be settled at conferences.
“My best information,” he ad
ded, “is there will be no strike.”
Discussing the present shipping
services, Long said the arrange
ment was a “subsidy for Alaska,”
not for the companies and was
designed to permit lower, rates
| than would be required if the
| companies purchased ships for the
; Alaska trade.
He said the companies are wil
ling, ready and have the money
to purchase the ships if that cost
is added to the base upon which
rates are determined it will cause
another increase of approximate
ly 37 1/2 per cent in rates.
Long said the steamship com
panies had agreed to a proposal,
of the House version of the ex
tension law.
He testified that his clients ob
jected to a proposal, by Gren
ville Mellen, maritime commis
sioner to give the president auth
ority to use Canadian ships to
serve Alaska in emergencies.
Malcolm Miller, counsel for Al
aska, urged the committee to put !
in an extension measure safe- j
guards which would make sure <
Alaska and not the steamship com
panies will benefit from the sub- {
sidy.
Marvin J. Coles, counsel for the
Alaska Freight Express Corpora
tion which runs a barge line to Al
aska, suggested that the subsidy
be stopped at once and let pri
vate enterprise slug it out.”
Mellen told the committee he
thinks “this type of legislation,
giving ships to the operators foi
less than nothing is unsound and
can only be justified as an interim
remedy.”
The commissioner said he ag
reed to legislation extending the
plan for 15 months. He proposed,
however, that it be permitted to
expire at the end of the month
and general agency operation of
the service to Alaska be inaug
urated by the commission until
the end of next February.
Counsel for the three steam
ship companies told Capehart they
supported the proposed House ver
sion of the extension legislation
and opposed the Alaskan version
whJch would give the interior
department veto over action of
he commission on rates and on
contracts with the carriers.
Will Try Climb
Juneau Ice Cap
By J. Clarence Moore
JUNEAU, — </P)—A party of
scientists will attempt this fall
to climb and cross the Juneau
ice cap—the second time in his
tory the hazardous feat has been
undertaken.
Edward L. Keithahn, curator
of the Territorial Museum, dis
closed plans for the assault on
the treacherous spawning grounds
of glaciers. He said scientists ad
vised him they would make the j
climb to try to determine why
Taku Glacier is advancing at the
rate of 600 feet a year while all i
other glaciers leading from the j
ice cap are receding.
The party will be led by prof.
Maynard M. Miller of Harvard,
formerly of Tacoma, Wash., who
in 1946 also led the second suc
cessful climb in history of Al
aska’s 18,008-foot Mt. St. Elias.
That peak had not been con
quered since the first conquest
in 1897 by Duke Abruzzi of Italy
although several parties had tried.
Keithahn said that the only other
person to claim a successful climb
of the Juneau ice cap is Father
Bernard Hubbard, the “Glacier
i Forest Fires Are
Under Control
SEATTLE, — (A3) —The sea
son's first forest fire warnings
came yesterday from the Forest
Service as the Weather Bureau
forecast continued high tempe -
atures for the Pacific Northwest.
H. L. Plumb, Snoqualmie Na
tional Forest supervisor, said a
series of small fires has been
brought under control on the east
slopes of the Cascades. All were
man-made and caused by care
lessness, he said. Temperatures
ranged generally in the 90’s and
high 80’s.
The Dalles, Oregon, missed the
century mark by one degree—09
—for the second straight day.
Yakima had a 97, Portland re
corded 92.
Seattle’s 88 uptown and 89 at
Boeing Field, was the highest
June 7 in history. The previous
high for the day was 85.
Priest.” Father Hubbard lost 30
pounds on the climb in the 193Cs.
Crevasses and storms are among
the dangers facing any party. T ie
climb, Keithahn said, means me e
than 30 miles of continuous haz
ards on glacial ice.
