New Southeastern
Alaska Nautical
Chart Issued
SEATTE, — Designed and
constructed in response to re
quests by the fishing industry, a
new nautical chart covering the
south coast of Alaska from Cross
Sound to Yakutat Bay, was an
nounced last week by Rear Adm
L. O. Colbert, coast and geodetic
survey director.
Hydrographic data appearing
on the chart are in greater detail
than normally shown on general
nautical charts, he said. These ad
ditional details are required by
fishermen when selecting desired
water depths and bottom types.
The fairweather ground is
shown on the chart. The blue t'nt
is carried to the 50-fathom curve.
In addition to the intensive se
lection of soundings, bottom char
acteristics are further emphasized
by depth curves in continuous
black lines, starting at the 75
fathom curve and spaced to in
clude the 100, 500, 1,000 and 1,500
fathom curves. Recent hydro
graphic and topographic surveys
by the coast and geodetic survey
> were used in compilation.
The extensive glacier areas in
the southern Alaska waters are
defined. Land areas not covered
by the glaciers are indicated by
contours at 1.000-foot intervals.
Mud flats are shown by gieen
tint.
The chart measures 32 by 40
1 inches. Copies may be obtained at
survey district offices.

silence any criticism of the admin
istration.”
The attempt to raise Bridges’
bail was made by F. Joseph Dono
hue, special assistant attorney
general. Ho cited Gerhart Eisler’s
jumping a 823,500 bond and flee
ing the United States on a Polish
ship.
Eisler. taken off ship in Eng
land, was freed Friday by a Lon
don court which rejected a United
States demand for extradition*.
Donohue said that if Eisler
could be returned he might be a
witness in the Bridges case. “He
has made certain statements un
der oath which may be pertinent
in this case.” Donohue said. “They ;
establish a fact that may be part:
of our argument.”
A former Bridges associate,
Mervyn Rathbone, disclosed he
had been a key witness in the
grand jury hearing leading to the
indictment. Rathbone said he
broke with Bridges over policy
during the war. He said he later
decided that “the only real inter
est and objective of the commun
ists in our labor unions is to pro
mote the policies of a foreign
power, the Soviet Union.”
Under modern factory methods,
40 separate operations on 40 dif
ferent machines, linked with two
miles of conveyors, are utilized
to produce a single 155 mm. pro
jectile.

that smells like violets? Or bour
bon, even?
That day may be at hand.
John Stewart, of the Ashland
Oil and Refining Co., Ashland, j
Ky., says the day of scented coal
is on its way.
He told the annual conference
of the Michigan Retail Coal mer
chants association Friday that re
search is underway on an o'l
treatment to give coal the scent of
violets, pine or tube rose.
The idea is to kill the smell of
the oil with which coal is treated
to make it dustless. Many people
object to the oil smell, Stewart
said.
And, he added, it may even be
come possible to make your win
ter supply of coal smell like bour
bon.

profits were available to the com
mission and to the public."
Of Jackson’s statement that the
commission reported its audit
showed $180,000 of the company’s
profit resulted from ship repairs
in its own yard, Skinner said:
“Our maintenance and repair
division has been operated by the
company for the past 20 years.
During the war this department
saved considerable money for the
war shipping administration, for
which we were operating agents." .
The higher profit figure men-1
tinned by Rep. Jackson included
profits obtained from the main
tenance and repair division, but
should not do so under terms ol
the operating interim agreement,
Skinner said.
The figure was also taken be
fore depreciation, which is always
allowed by the treasury depart
ment, he added.
Jackson said that Alaska Steam
'ship company reported that May
1, 1947 to Dec. 31, 1943. it made a
, profit of $678,093 before taxes
but that the maritime commis
sion’s audit set the profits at
$1,348,716.
“Congressman Jackson obv.oar
ly is not in possession of all of the
facts, which will be clearly
brought out at any investigation
to be held,” Skinner commented.
