SPECIAL MEETING OF THE
SEWARD CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE
Continued from page I •
45 minutes. Mr. Urbach question
ed him about Statehood—Mr
Sunborg said he felt it was a
must for Alaska, but did not
think it could be obtained during
the present session of Congress.
A pertinent fact brought out by
Mr. Sunborg was in connection
with the sum of money which
the Alaska Road Commission had
received here in Alaska during
its history. This sum amounted’ to
approximately $25,000,000. If we
bad been under the Hi-way Act
(as a state) we would have re
ceived almost 200 millions,
ice best by telling of the marine
Leo Douglas discussed the need
of R.E.A. in this area, and Mr.
Sunborg said that development
would follow electricity.
Mr. Sunborg sain* that his of
fice will be open to Seward at all
times and would give whatever
aid they could. He felt that, we
would best be able to procure a
Coast Guard Cutter for Seward
if we would get enough people
to write letters to the Comman
dant of the U. S. Coast Guard in
Washington, D. C. A further aio'
would be to secure the help of
Anchorage. We could get his not
disasters, the loss of commore,
and the loss of life because we
lacked adequate marine protection
in the nature of a Coast Guard
vessel.
In closing. Mr. Sunborg slated
that he felt our best prospect for
the future lay in three things: the
development of fisheries, small in
dustries, and a care for the tour
ist trade. Following ths ai motion
was maa'e and seconded that the
meeting be adjourned. The mo
tion carried.

Scientists On Mountain
Seek Cosmic Rav Secret
Italians in Alpine Hut Hope lor
Answer to Some Universal
Puzzles
By JOSEPH J. BAICICH
United Press Staff Correspondent

TURIN. Italy (UP)—Four Dali
an physicists have closed them
selves in a cube-like laboratory
atop Mount Cervino in the Alps
for a stua'y of cosmic rays.
The squat building nestles on
thi' rocky peak of Testa Grigia at
12,000 feet above sea level. Geig
er meters, Wilson chambers and
other strange instruments sur
round the four men. They keep
in constant radio communication
with their Rome headquarters to
report on their work, which is af
filiated with the United Nations.
When the new laboratory was
established, state officials and It
alian and foreign scientists strug
gled to ho^d their footing against
a wiekeo* wind screaming across
tiie highest peak of the Alps.
Scores of cables held the lab
oratory to the mountain top and
snow drifts had piled Up around
the little building before the
scientists entered. Officials of the
central physics institute said the
men might remain in the obser
vation laboratory for two months
before their first experiments are
concluded.
Answers Sought
The answers to the fundament
al problems of moc'ern physics
are what these men seek. They
may be found in the cosmic rays
which constitute a sort of mist
like rain falling upon the earth.
, The origin of this‘'“rain" of cos
; mic rays is not yet established,
but it is formed of the same par
ticles found in the atoms and
' nuclei of which matter is com
posed.
It has been found that the rad
iation—or at least a good part ol
it is absorbed in various meas
ure' by tiie atmosphere. Hence at
extreme heights, cosmic ray part
icles of great r energy and in
greater number can be found. By
stuc'ying such particles the scien
tists hope to reach the laws that
govern the formation of atomic i
nuclei.
Already several international
physicists have expressed their
wish to carry out research at the
Testa Grigia laboratory. Accom
odations for fore fen scientists are
planned in the nearby town of
Cervinia. to provide for an his- I
toric international co-operation
for this important work.
Best Equipped
The Testa Grigia laboratory is
the third in Europe and the best
equipped of its kind. The other
two are on tin* Jungfrau Mount
ain and on the Pie dll Mio'i in the
Pyrenees.
Under the joint direction of Ed- ]
oardo Arnaldi and Gilberto Ber
nardini. the huge rectangular pre
fabricated cabin, made with dou
ble walls of cork, phaesite and’
aluminum, was set up on a ce
ment base under tremendous dif
ficulties. All material had to be
brought up on sleds and on an
improvised funicular under the
lashing of cold wind and the first
snows. >
On stormy days the laboratory
will he cut off from the world*.
It is supplied with food and med
ical equipment sufficient to last
for la days. On bad days, only
well-trained skiiers can reach the
town of Cervini lower down the
granite peak. The four Italian
physicists who have begun their
exile to further the progress of
science have no fear of being cut
off from all help in case of any
storms, however—each is an ex
cellent skiier.
