Hartley law. With all mines to
close for a 10-day vacation start

of adding to the stockpiles.
Steel mills have curtailed oper
ations and there were layoffs of
some railroaders. In Detroit

plans to lay off 28,500 workers be
cause of horU.ge o' s cel.
Officials of the CIO marine and
shipbuilding workers union pre
dicted a tie-up of all Atlantic and

“Alaska Is Muchly
w
Over-Advertised”
PORTLAND. Ore., (A*) — Co!.
John P. Johnson, general manager
of the Alaska Railroad, thinks
Alaska has been over-advertised.
“The Territory is cerfa nly our
last frontier,” he told the Portland
chamber of commerce foreign
trade and shipping department
last night, “but I am of the opin
ion that it has been over-adver
tised.
“There are as many as 300 per
sons a day coming in, many of
them not equipped or prepared for
what they meet. Some are selling
their furniture to get by, and I am
afraid that some of them may
freeze to death next winter be
cause of the serious lack of hous
ing.”

Seek Re-Opening
Of Native Schools
i -
JUNEAU, (/P)—The chamber of
Commerce unanimously approved
a resolution yesterday urging the
superintendent of the Alaska Na
tive service to instigate proceed
ings to reopen the service’s schools
throughout the Territory.
The resolution said that the
present crowded conditions of
Territorial schools makes it im
possible to provide facilities for
additional students, and that Ter
ritory and cities have no way of
meeting the increased costs should
the natives be enrolled.

SEATTLE;, </P) — The recent
Bradford Washburn expedition
which climbed $20,270-foot M u v
McKinley left ‘tremendous caches’
of supplies on the peak’s slopes,
Robert W. Craig, 22, un'versily of
Washington student, said today.
“We either had to bring all the
army gear we took along with us
for experimental purposes back
to Wright Field, or destroy it,” he
explained. “We buried terrific
quantites of it.’
As for food—
“You can’t imagine the amounts
we left behind.”
Craig, a philosophy student, re
turned here Wednesday but Wash
burn, director of the New England
museum of natural history, is still
in Alaska.
One camp at the 18-000-foot
level on the peak is still occupied
by three expedition members
working on cosmic ray experi
ments w’hich should be completed
today and tomorrow.
Explaining the over-supplies, he
said the party had to “provide a
wide margin of safety.” He re
called that he fell into a crevasse
and was an hour and three-quar
ters working his way out. alth >ugh
roped to others in the party. It
never got colder than 30 below be
cause it was a mild spring and as
for difficulties he said “there are
more difficult climbs.”
