May Have New
Oil Deposits
SEATTLE. i.-P)—Possibility that
Alaska’s Iniskin Peninsula may
have petroleum deposits was in
dicated yesterday by the United
States geological survey.
The service has conducted a pe
troleum survey of the peninsula
and the results are contained in a
map published this week. The
area is 150 miles southwest of An
chorage.
The service said rock forma
\
lions on the peninsula are of a
type that offer traps for petroleum
accumulation.
Seepages of high-gravity oil
have been found or^ the peninsula
over the past 50 years and traces
of gas and oil have been found in
wells drilled there.

No Additional
Money For Roads
In Alaska Forests
WASHINGTON (/V), The House j
appropriations committee turned;
thumbs down today on a forest
service request for money to build
roads in national forests in Alaska
to serve three cities where paper
mills are planned.
The funds were requested in the
second deficiency appropriations
bill, which the committee sent to
the House.
The budget bureau had approv
ed a request for $2,653,000 cash and
contract authorization not to ex
ceed $6,406,000 for constructing
the roads in Southeast Alaska. The
committee said “No.”
Thomas H. MacDonald, commis
sioner of the public roads admin
istration, in testimony the commit
tee made public, said the money |
was needed for roads to serve “the
population that will come into this
area by reason of the development
of the pulpwood industry.”
Frank Heintzleman, regional
forester for Alaska, said the roads
were planned for construction at
Ketchikaij. Juneau and Sitka.
The committee said it does not
feel that the expenditure of “some
thing over 710,000.000 for con
struction of roads at a cost in ex
cess of $180,000 per mile to serve
approximately 10.000 inhabitants
can be justified either at this time
or in the near future.”
WASHINGTON. i/P) — Delegate
Bartlett introduced a bill yester
day to authorize the governor of
Alaska to dispose of royalty pay
ments received on the literary
work entitled “Alaska: A Guide to
the Last Frontier,” published by (
the MacMillan Co.. New York.
The money would be used to re- 1
vise and bring the work Up to1
date.
Bartlett also introduced q mea
sure to increase from $25,000 to
$75,000 the amount of federal aid
for wild life restoration in Alaska.
The same measure would increase
the present $10,000 appropriation
for such work in Hawaii to $25,000.

Kodiak Students
Picket School
KODIAK, (/P)—Parades twice a
day for the rest of the week was
the program mapped today by 25
striking school students.
They're protesting failure of the
school board to rehire Supt. L. T.
Utterback. The superintendent
said yesterday afternoon:
“The students are demonstrate
ing in support of the present ad
ministration but without my sanc
tion or approval.”
Six-week examinations were
postponed because of the strike.
Lorraine Magnusen. leader of the
strikers, said “We won’t lose our
credits because of the strike.” but
did not elaborate.
The school board had no com
ment either on the strike or re
newal of the superintendent’s con
tract.
Striking students refused to
speak or associate with non
strikers. One 15-year-old was jerk
ed from the picket line by an irate
parent and returned tearfully to
her classes.
The board previously refused to
yield to two appeals. One was a
wire from the basketball team
while it was in Anchorage for the
Fur Rendezvous tournament; the
other was a petition signed bv 200
residents.
Launch Traffic
Safely Campaign
Elmondorf Air Force Base—An
intensive month-long traffic safe
ty campaign was launched at all
military bases in Alaska on April
1, it was announced by Lt. Gen.
Nathan F. Twining, commander
in-chief, Alaska. Timed to make
military personnel accident-con
scious in advance of the traffic in
crease expected with the coming
of summer, the drive will stress
awareness by drivers of traffic
dangers,
“Records show that most acci
dents are caused by poor driving.”
General Twining said. “So-called
good drivers who become careless
are just as guilty as inexperienced
drivers. Only a very small per
centage of automobile accidents
are due to mechanical defects in
the vehicle itself.”
Improvements in traffic safety
depends greatly upon the personal
pride of drivers in skillful opera
tion of their automobiles, safety
authorities believe. The April
campaign will be designed to ap
peal to individuals of all groups,
encouraging them to look upon
driving as an art in which the div
idends of skill are high.
“Every effort will be made to
bring this campaign to the atten
tion of all military personnel in
Alaska,” stated General Twining.
“To this end, the Armed Forces
Radio Service broadcasting sta
tions, and service newspapers, will
be . widely used.”
It is expected that the campaign
will include awards of prizes to
safe drivers selected by special ob
servers of traffic on military posts.
Posters and displays, as well as
literature setting forth safety rules
for pedestrians, will be distributed
at military installations through
out the Territory.
It doesn’t breathe
It doesn’t smell
It doesn’t feel
So very well.
It drips by day
It’s tight by night
I’m so disgusted with
my nose,
The only thing it
does is BLOWS. _
