Glacier Priest
Makes Reply
Alaska Pilots
In an interview with Father
Hubbard in reference to the arti
cle published in yesterday Nug
get concerning the comments of
Fairbanks pilots on Father Hub
bards story to the Associated
wherein they disagreed with his
views, the Glacier Priest has the
following to say:
“My commentary on the Bar
row-Wainwright rescue base ap
plies only to the initial stages of
rescue work when the TIME ele
ment was of life or death impor
tance to the lost Soviet fliers.
"These comments have no bear
ing whatsoever on any attempts
made now or in the future, be
cause weeks after the tragedy,
both the ice breaker Krassin and
the schooner Holmes have been
able to find an open Lead in the
ice and unload thousands of gal
lons of gasoline at Barrow, whi
ch now becomes the logical cen
ter of praiseworthy, but tardy
operations.
“It is significant that the only
practical efforts to locate Pilot
Levenes'ky and his companions
were made by heroic Jimmy
Mattern, who actually flew out
over the rough Arctic ice when
others were still planning what
to do. It is notable that he flew
from Barrow in his one brave
attempt on his own gasoline ar.d
when his supply was reduced to
the minimum of safety had to
return to the heart of interior
Alaska, because no more gasoline
for his mercy flight could be ob
tained at Barrow.
"Now that gasoline and planes
in abundance have been landed
at Barrow, I hope that the brave
men who will risk their lives ov
er the Arctic ice, wall find some
traces of the lost pilots and plane.
It is less probable than before
that the lost men are alive as so
much time has passed since their
mishap and TIME nof miles is
the essential factor.” ,
New Gas May
Upset Plans
Of All Armies
(By The Associated Press)
AMES, Iowa.(AP)—Millions of
gas masks of the armies of the
world will be useless if the new
gas of a young man at the Iowa
State College goes on the mar
ket, it was revealed ^recently.
Leon Prenm, 23-year-old chem
istry student and an officer in the
ordinance reserve, announced
through college heads that he has
perfected a gas which will des
troy gas masks as effectively as
it destroys human beings by re
moving the neutralizing soda
lime element of the mask.
The gas is a combination of
phosgene, mustard and another
element which was not named.
Whether the gas will be com
I mercialized was not revealed.
