Alaska Appropria
tions Not Cut In
Budget Reduction
M/P) Special Washington Service*
WASHINGTON. I/P)—Only two
State and Alaska escaped a cut
back in their federal-aid hospital
construction programs as a result
of a $75,000,000 budget reduction.
Most states took a cut of slight
ly more than 50 per cent in feder
al allocations to assist in building
hospitals and health centers un
der the Hill-Burton Act.
Congress authorized a SI 50,
000,000 federal-aid program for
the twelve months ending June
30, 1951. The budget bureau
halved the figure yesterday in ap
portioning spending cuts required
by the general appropriation bill.
Alaska, Delaware and Nevada,
each apportioned the $200,000
minimum under the proposed
$150,000,000 program, were not
reduced.

Navy Discovers
2 More Oil Fields
Near Barrow
FAIRBANKS, (JP) — The navy
has discovered two more oil fields'
in its vast Point Barrow reserve
at the top of the continent.
Cmdr. Millard Aubey, officer in
of construction in what is known
as “Pet Four”—naval petroleum j
reserve number four—made the
disclosure here last week.
He said one field was in the
northern part of the 35,000 square
mile reserve on the Arctic Coast,
and the other on the southeastern
[ border.
Aubey emphasized that produc
tive capacity of the wells has not |
been determined. He said the
navy has not made any major |
discovery of petroleum in cpm
mercial quantity which would be!
economically feasible to produce'
and transport from the remote
areas in which they were found.
The last find reported by the
navy in “Pet Four” was a gas well
completed in April, 1949. Navyj
spokesmen have been pesistentlyj
denying rumors of gushers in the
reserve ever since the project
started in August, 1944.
Preliminary surveys in the re
serve have indicated that produc
tion of 100,000 barrels of crude
oil a day would sustain the field
commercially, but formida b 1 e
problems presented by inaccessi
bility of the oil fields have pre
vented full-scale deevlopment of
what some experts said held
promise of being the largest un
tapped oil field in the world.
The recent discoveries added
new zest to that promise.

One Things Leads
To Another
f> m
FAIRBANKS, (#*)—It was one
of those chain reaction things, so
the said story of Jack Courtney
might as well start from the be
ginning to enumerate:
1 He stopped his jeep by an
empty cabin about 47 miles from
here on the Richardson Highway.
2. He drained the watery gaso
line out of the jeep and put it
into cans he found in the cabin.
3. He lighted a cigarette.
5. He tossed them to the ground
4. His gloves caught fire,
where they ignited a small pool
of spilled gasoline.
6. The gas and glove flames
spread to the tires of his jeep and
set them afire.
7. Two Fairbanks firemen on
their day off drove up, stopped,
and prepared to launch into some
off-duty fire-fighting.
8. One hopped into the jeep to
drive it away from the house—
then discovered the jeep was out
of gas.
9. The other fireman dashed to
his automobile to get a fire extin
guished—and discovered he was
out of fire extinguishers.
10. The flames meanwhile con
sumed to jeep, then devoured the
cabin right down to the last log.
11. Courtney hitch-hiked a ride
back to town.
