I mercial quality but not in com
mercial quantity in its explora
tions near Point Barrow, Alaska.
It said today that drilling is
proceeding the year around with
an average of 300 workers cur

] the naval oil reserve number four.
The navy continues elose
' mouthed about its oil exploration
1 program .A year ago it told a
i House appropriations committee
i that it wanted the work kept a
■ secret and gave its report to the
| committee in confidence. It was
i not published in the report of the
j hearings on the navy appropria
tions bill.
A spokesman for the navy said
this week that the explorations in
the Arctic oil reserve, undertaken
three years ago, cannot be com
pleted this year. He said addition
al time and funds will be asked of
Congress this year.
The spokesman said that while
drilling has gone on the year
’round heavy machinery can be
moved ony in winter when the
ground is frozen. He said the num
ber of employees varied with the
season of the year.
He declined to estimate how
much will be required to complete
the project or how much already
has been spent.

police power,” by Red army
troops.

Thielen and Peter J. Kopgsak,
l were seized by Soviet troops in
Hungary January 14. They were
taken across the frontier to Vien

“U. S. Can’t Afford
To Give Away Too
Much” Says Taft
(Continued from Page One)
the condition of a lot of other peo
ple who have failed for centuries
to do the job for themsdlves.”
The Ohioan said this country
wants peace and freedom through
out the world. But, he continued,
“It is certainly not worthwhile to
adopt a foreign policy so burden
some on our people that it will de
stroy at home the very freedom
we are trying to protect.
“We can’t 'give away sums so
large that they force controls and
government regulation and high
prices and shortages which threat
en the very condition here at
home we are trying to protect,” he
said.
Taft criticized what he termed
the New Deal theory that a higher
standard of living can be produced
by “government handouts.”
He said this country instead
must “put a floor under the es
sential requirements of our lowest
income families so that extreme
hardship and poverty may be
eliminated.”
Manager Stan Parsons of the
Alaska Airlines, brought in a Pil
grim plane from Anchorage yes
terday and departed this morn
ing for Candle to pick up the ski
which was lost from his own plane
last week when taking off from
the field.
