New Geology Course
Aimed to Meet Territorial
And Government Needs
The University of Alaska has
established a new course of study
in geology aimed to meet terri
torial needs and to train gradu
ates for employment in various
branches of the subject, especially
with mining companies and in
various state and federal egencies,
according to a recent announce
ment made by Earl Beistline, dean
of the School of Mines.
The new curriculum will lead to
the degree of Bachelor of Science
in Geology and will qualify the
student who completes it to begin
a career as a professional geolo
gist. It requires a student to take
43 hours in geology and support
ing courses in such subjects as
mathematics, chemistry, physics,
mining, surveying, and engineer
ing drawing.
It is expected that any student
completing this course will be able
to pass the Federal Civil Service
examination, Dean Beistline ex
plained. This examination is re
quired for employment with such
agencies as the U.S. Geological
Survey, the U.S. Bureau of Mines,
the Reclamation Service, the Soil
Conservation Service, and the U.S.
Army Engineers.
Lord Ismay Accepts Job of
Secretary-Gen. of NATO

dy of Prime Minister Churchill,

terday.
He accepted the civilian com
mand — secretary general of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza
tion — after a string of other

The 64-year-old general, quit
ting as Britain’s secretary of state
for Commonwealth relations, will
start wTork alongside Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower next month at Par
is headquarters.

Air Force Contract
Boosts Program
For Atomic Flight
WASHINGTON, (/P) — The Air
Force disclosed Thursday it has
boosted its program for develop
ment of fantastically fast atomic
powered flight with a new con
tract to Boeing Airplane Co. of
Seattle.
It is the second of its type to
be announced by the Air Force
and indicates the program of
atomic flight is well into its sec
ond phase—that of blueprinting
and experimental production.
Atomic power could give an
airplane almost limitless range—
80 times around the globe on one
pound of uranium “fuel,” some
experts say—and speeds of 2,500
miles an hour and up.
%
But most experts say it’s still
a long-time project, with the first
flyable atomic plane a matter of
years—and many millions orf dol
lars away.
One said it probably would take
“somewhat longer” than the esti
mated two or three years needed
to complete the nuclear-powered
submarine which the Navy has
announced it is building.
Boeing is working presumably
on the airframe, or shell, of a
plane, to be fitted around an
atomic engine now being devel
oped by Pratt & Whitney Air
craft Co., East Hartford, Conn.
The Pratt & Whitney contract was
announced last December.
