WASHINGTON, .(/P) — Anchor
age, largest city in Alaska, can as
sure itself of a plentiful water
supply by damming Ship Creek
which runs through it, the geolog
ical survey said yesterday.
Ship Creek “is not a glacier
fed stream and thus is free from
glacial silt, offering a good source
of water,” .the survey reported.
At present the natural flow of
the river is sufficient to supply
the immediate demands of both
Anchorage and Fort Richardson.
But storage is required for most
effective use. There is no natural
storage in the basin.”
The agency said either of two
suggested dam sites could supply
enough good water for all the mu
nicipal and industrial needs of
Anchorage.
It said the site farthest up
stream was the more favorable of
the two. At that site a 260-foot
dam would provide 69,000 acre
feet of water and could develop
7,500 horsepower of electricity
continuously.

Col. Balchen Tries
To Reach Crash
JUNEAU, (/P)--Col. Bernt Bal
chen, famed Arctic explorer and
head of the 10th Air Rescue
Squadron, took personal command
yesterday of the weather-bogged
efforts to reach the wreckage of a
C-54 transport plane.
The craft crashed last Saturday
on 15,900-foot Mt. Crillon, 90 miles
west of here in the Brabazon
Range. There has been no sign of
its six crewmen.
Balchen took off Wednesday
during the first clear weather in
two days in an attempt to fly over
the crash scene but was forced
\
back after reaching Cape Spencer.
The Air Force, correcting pre
vious reports that a ground party
was already near the scene, said
Balchen would make reconnais
sance flights in a ski plane to see
if it is feasible to land a trail crew
on Brady Glacier near the foot of
Mt. Crillon.

was delayed for the second
straight day while representatives
of the firm and maritime unions
continued in a closed conference
beyond 10 a.m., the sailing time.
The steward department per
sonnel refused Tuesday to sign
aboard the steamer Alaska unless
assured that their sea papers
would not be scrutinized by coast
guard screening officers.
The security progra m was
agreed upon last week in Wash
ington, D. C., during a conference
attended by a majority of the
maritime unions. The mar i n e
cooks and stewards was not one
of the participating groups.
Company officials set today
forenoon as the Alaska’s tentative
departure time after the stewards’
action stymied yesterday’s sched
uled sailing, The 179 passengers,
mostly round-trip tourists, slept
board ship last night and were
taken uptown by buses for their
meals.
There was a possibility also
that the dispute might spread be
fore tonight. The compa n y ’ s
steamer Baranof is to sign on its
crew today: A similar refusal by
its steward personnel might delay
its scheduled sailing with 200 pas
sengers at 11 a.m. Saturday.
The company’s dismissal order
came several hours after 250
members of the Sailors’ Union of
the Pacific held a special meeting
Marines See North
Koreans Who Flee
j . . ,
With the Marines in South Ko
rea, (JF)—The Marines made their
first combat contact today with
what may have been the enemy—
visual contact, that is.
A small probing patrol led by
Capt. Kenneth Houghton of San
Francisco, spotted armed Kore
ans on a huge hill overlooking a *
Marine position. The Koreans had
two radios .and they were scat
tered in seven different position.
The Koreans may have been ob
servers detailed to watch a main
supply route. It is visible from
their hilltop position from which
flashing lights were observed at j
night.
A larger group of Marines ar
rived shortly at spots where
Houghton’s patrol had sighted the
Koreans only to find they had left.
and refused to sail unless all crew
men aboard the Alaska underwent
a scrutiny check.
“We are not going to risk the
danger of sabotage,” said Maxie
Weisbarth, Seattle port agent for
the SUP.
Where the company planned to
obtain steward department per
sonnel was not disclosed. The in
dependent Pacific Marine Stew
ards’ Union offered to fill any va
cancies left by firing the CIO
men.
Such a course of action, how
ever, conceivably would leave the
company open for retaliatory un
loading problems in Alaska.
