CAA Will Try To
Keep Sliemya Base
__________ t
WASHINGTON, (/P)—The civil
aeronautics administration says it
is trying to work out plans for
continued operation of airport fa
cilities on Shemya Island, at the
tip of the Aleutians near Attu.
Tho island has been an air force
base for the last several years and
has been used regularly as a re
fueling stop by commercial air
liners making the Anchorage
Tokyo run across the Pacific.
Deputy CAA administrator Fred
1 C. Lee said the air force will close
down this base at tho end of the
current government fiscal year,
June 30, and that it has now be
come CAA’s problem to determine
whether commercial refueling can
be continued there.
"There was no provision for
! maintenance expense at Shemya
in our current budget,” Lee said.
"We are studying the possibility
of a civilian airport facility on the
island, but unless the necessary
funds can be found, it looks like
the Shemya facility will go by the
board. However, no final decision
has been made.”
Henry Ullrich, deputy marshall
for Nome, who has been on an ex
tended vacation, returned yester
day. His family remained in the
States.

Predict Alaska’s
Population 135,000
ANCHORAGE, (/P) — Alaska’s
1950 census director predicts that
the 1950 count will show a popu
lation of 135,000 in the Territory.
The forecast was made by Ter
ritorial Rep. Clarence Keating, di
rector of the Alaska census.
Most previous estimates have
placed the likely count around
100,000. The Territory’s enumera
tion will start April 1.
Keating based his prediction on
the 1930 census, alleged oversights
in it and the increases in main
cities.
“Government reports and other
data indicate the 1930 census was
not a complete count,” he declar
ed.
“It credited Alaska with 72,524
in October, 1939.
But great numbers of Alaskans
were never counted.”
He said he knew of individual
residents who were not counted
and that he has discovered entire
tribes of natives that the census
enumerators missed.
“We can assume that the 1940
j census was about 85,000,” he said.
He estimated these gains for
! cities: 21,000 for Anchorage, 4,500
to 6,500 for Fairbanks, about 4,000
for Juneau, 3,000 for Ketchikan,
.3.000 for Seward and 4,000 for
Palmer.
He said the tight housing situa
tion in all the cities “verifies the
estimates.”
Mr. James Manning of the In
i' ternal Revenue Department, who
! has been here assisting with the
j making of income tax returns left
j for Fairbanks yesterday with his
wife.

Mrs. A. M. Hartford, wife of the
! late manager of the U. S. Smelt
j ing Co., arrived from her home in
j Seattle to close her husband’s af
I fair here.

MORLEY, Colo. (/P) — Morley
has 134 on its work list which eat
heartily every day whether the
mine operates or not. But when
they do work, these 134 mules
earn their ltf pounds of oats daily
plus all the hay they can shove
down. This is one of the few coal
mines in the country where mules
are used to haul coal cars, be
cause of gaseous conditions un
derground.
Rhodda Floyd, a former cow
boy, is the stable boss. ‘‘Mules are
a lot nicer to work with than peo
ple,” he says. ‘‘Mules can’t argue
with you.”
