Oil Exploration
In Alaska
To Continue
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4—(/P)—
Contracts to continue exploration
of the Navy’s Alaska oil reserve
have been awarded to three com
mercial firms. They will be aided
by the U. S. Geological Survey.
Delegate Bartlett said the Navy
informed him it had awarded the
prime contract for continuing the
exploration to Hoover, Curtis and
Ruby, general contractors, New
York. The navy previously re
ported that a well sunk on Umiat
Mountain, to a depth of nineteen
hundred feet, had penetrated five
separate oil bearing sands.
Delegate Bartlett said “I’ve been
told by an experienced oil man
that the prospect in the Navy Re
serve in Alaska surpasses any
thing he had seen and believes the
reserve eventually will develop a
field which would produce five to
ten billion barrels of oil.”
Sheep Man Asks Stories
Made Of All Wool
SALT LAKE CITY — (/P) —J.
Melvon Jones, secretary of the Na
tional Wool Growers association,
argues sheep men should tell the
world more about themselves and
their product. He asserted only
five cents is spent in advertising
for each $100 worth of wool sold,
compared with $6.06 for each $100
worth of beer, and $1.40 for ap
ples and $1 for rayon.
Metal telephone poles are used
in South Africa because the white
ants eat wooden ones.
Replacement Lack
Causes Slowup Of
Demobilization
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4— (/P) —
Lt. Gen. Laughton Collins, war
department information chief de
clared its demobilization program
would be slowed down. The rate
of return of some troops is de
layed because of difficulty in get
ting replacements for overseas
service.
He said “our overseas forces
would be dangerously under
strength in occupying hostile
countries if all eligible men were
to be returned before sufficient
replacements arrived.” Collins
added “in no case should this de
lay any man in any of the the
aters for more than three months
beyond the time he becomes eli
gible for discharge.”
