Delay Blowing Up
Ice Bridge
—
FAIRBANKS, <^P)—Explosion of
a 4,000-pound TNT charge to blast
the Tanana ice bridge three miles
outside of Fairbanks was cancel
led early today by Col. Paul V.
Kane, task force frigid command
er.
Plans for the explosion, set for
today, were dropped at the re
quest of the chamber of commerce
after the latter heard Richard Ra
gle. University of Alaska geolo
gist, explain that frozen silt de
posits might transmit the shock to
the city with the effect of a heavy
earthquake.
Ragle said the force of the blast
would be almost undiminished de
spite the three mile distance if the
frozen silt layer was continuous.
i
The bridge was used by the task I
force frigid during its recent man- ^
Olivers.
Warships Seek !
Lost Seamen
HONOLULU (j*P>—A swift task!
force of 17 warships sped north on
a vast seahunt today hoping that,
12 or 13 crewmen from the wreck
ed tanker Fort Dearborn might
still be alive after a week in an
open boat on the storm-tossed Pa
cific.
Searchers had no assurance the
men even made it to a lifeboat
which they launched last Wednes
day when the tanker broke in two
during a storm, but they were un
der orders to overlook nothing.
Some of the 32 rescued survivors
of the tanker said the lifeboat
cleared the ship in the howling
gale, but in the darkness it was
uncertain whether any of the men
who leaped overboard reached it.

France Asks For
German Separation
MOSCOW, (#*)—Foreign minis
ter Georges Bidault, renewing
France’s demands for separation
of the Ruhr, the Rhineland and the
I
Saar from Germany, told the for
eign ministers council today that
allied controls must be retained
over Germany long after a peace
settlement is concluded and the
present occupation is ended.
Bidault who conferred last
night with Prime Minister Stalin,
laid down the basic French policy
on the defeated enemy, calling
primarily for rigid limitations of
the coal and steel industries. He
suggested that France replace Ger
many as the great steel-producing
nation of Europe.
Bidault withheld France’s agree
ment to American, British and
Soviet proposals for raising the
level of German industry. He said
the French view depended upon
what other controls were set up.
He rejected outright the American
sponsored plan to set up central
administrative agencies run by
the Germans pending decisions on
Germany's frontiers. He evidently
meant that decisions on the Ruhr
the Rhineland and the Saar must
be reached first.
The French minister said econo
mic unity in Germany could be
achieved with French approval
prior to fixing the frontier, by cre
ating administrative agencies run
by the Allied powers for such mat
ters as transport, communication
and trade.
He called for a speed-up in rep
arations from the western zone,
thus siding with demands made by
Soviet foreign minister Molotov, i
At the same time, however, he de
clared that in line with the British
