charging 20,000 tons of cargo.
Ranging from paper clips to
giant cranes, the cargo comprises1
the years equipment and provi-1
sions for the oil exploration force
^ on the navy’s 35,000 square mile
petroleum reserve No. 4.
The fleet of four freighters and
an LST was convoyed by two navy
bombers, flying ice patrol, and the
ice breaker Burton Island as it
groped in fog through the narrow
channel between the Polar Ice Cap
and the Arctic coa§t line yesterday
to arrive off Barrow on the sunni
est day of the year.
Assault-type barges started
speeding ashore the cargo at a
pace of 20 tons an hour. Capt. By
ron S. Anderson of Coronado,
Calif., commander of the expedi
tion which left Seattle July 31, es
timated the unloading would re
quire a week of rush work. He
said he was anxious to complete it
earlier if possible to avoid the risk
of a shift in the wind which might
send shoreward the menacing ice
bergs, which are visible from the
beach. The annual Arctic expedi
tion is regarded as one of the most
hazardous shipping runs in exist
ence. A two-week period is nor
mally the only safe span for run

Cain Advocates
Airports And
Paper Industry
WASHINGTON, (/P> — One of
this country’s prime needs. Sena
tor Cain iR.-Wash.) said today is
“adequate development of the puip
industry in Alaska.”
“The couqtrv needs paper and
Alaska needs full developmen* of
this industry,” Cain said.
Senator Cain said that he and
other legislators making an A)a.>
kan trip “will consider the advis
ability of a government airport or
so in Alaska—that is new ones to
be established.”
The Senator endorsed a “string
of airport from San Francisco up
the West Coast and into Alaska,” j
but stressed that they should be j
used for commercial purposes as
well as for defense.
After the Alaskan trip, Senator
Cain said, he will go to Europe to
look into the displaced person
problem.”
“I think we should do our share
in bringing properly qualified dis
placed persons to this country—es
| pecially those who could aid in la
bor. However, there are others who
might better be left where they
I are. We will look into that thor
oughly.”

Grtiening Inspired
By Hawaii Trip
Alaska’s Governor said upon
his return from his trip to Hawaii
that the trip was extremely bene
ficial from the point of Statehood
for the Territory. He said that he
and the Governor of Hawaii were
able to exchange ideas for the fur
therance of their common aim of
statehood for the two Pacific terri
tories. He said that Hawaii’s ac
tions, thus far, are an inspiration
to Alaska in its fight to gain equal
status with the 48 States.
The Governor also was consider
ably impressed by the Naval Re
serve Officers Corps training pro
gram which he witnessed on board
the battleship USS Iowa. The Iowa
transported him and other visiting
governors on their trip to Hawaii.
On board were 600 members of the
NROTC taking a training cruise.
