COACH DALBERG ARRIVED
MONDAY FOR COMING
HOOP SEASON
Coach Don Dalberg returned
to Seward Monday night ready
to begin the season's basketball
lineup. He will have a few hold
overs from last year’s team but
most of the new players have
had little or no experience
against out-of-town teams. There
is good material in both the
eighth and ninth grade as was
shown by their work at the end
of last season.
Mr. Dalberg drove over the
Alaska Highway. He had no
trouble he said, except a three
day layover at Burwash, Cana
da where a bridge was flooded
out. Mr. and Mrs. Connelly, the
principal of the Kenai school
were held up at the same place,
so the two cars waited together
and camped out until the bridge
was reopened.
The coach attended school
during his vacation at Moscow,
Idaho, which is also his home.

REAL FLYING SAUCERS
UNDER TEST BY ARMY
Washington (^.P) — The
Army is experimenting with
flying saucers—yes, flying sau
cers—to supply troops in the
field with water, gasoline and
other liquids.
It announced yesterday that
disc-shaped containers made of
synthetic rubber have been
dropped from altitudes of 400
to 2.000 feet without bursting or
spilling their five gallon con
tents of liquids.
When they hit the ground, the
Army said, they stretch to al
most double their normal size,
bound back into the air and then
settle down near the point of
contact.
Tests have shown the con
tainers, made in cooperation
with the General Tire and Rub
ber Co., may be dropped many
times without damage.
The Army de^ .rib. d these
ho'nest-to-goodness junior sized
flying saucers as looking like in
flated pancakes, about two feet
across and weighing five pounds.

To Inspect Alaska
Construction
Washington, (AP) — The De
fense Department has embarked
on a long-ranged $1,000,000,000
military construction program
in Alaska, it was learned today.
Nearly $400,000,000 has already
been earmarked for the pro
gram.
A special House Committee
plans to leave Friday by plane
for a ten-day on-the-spot check
on progress and plans.
An authorized spokesman for
the House Armed Services Com
mittee, asking not to be named
said the Defense Department has
been asking the committee for
authorization for its Alaskan
program—necessary before it
can ask Congress for the money
—in piecemeal style.
For example, contained in the
$5,768,000,000 global military
construction bill, approved Aug.
14 by the House and now pend
ing in the Senate Armed Service
Committee, is nearly $250,000,
000 in projects for Alaska alone.
During closed hearings, the
Committee learned this amount
is an installment on work al
ready started and on more re
quests later.
Chairman Vinson (D-Ga.) de
cided to send an investigating
subcommittee to Alaska to check
on progress.
The seven-man group is
headed by Rep. Price (D-Ill.).
E. L. Bartlett, Alaskan Delegate
in Congress probably will ac
company the group.
The congressional group will
spend the night of Aug. 31 at
Great Falls, Mont., and arrive
at Anchorage Sept. 1. Because
of the shortage of time, the
group will divide into two sec
tions. One section will concen
trate on projects around Anchor
age and the oih.r on the Fair
banks area. Projects in and
around Kodiak, Nome, Whittier,
Haines and Juneau will also be
visited.

ALASKA "NAVY"
AGAIN IN OPERATION
Juneau (AP) — Alaska’s
“Navy” got off its reef yester
day. Territorial Auditor Neil
Moore nudged it free by ap
proving two vouchers which he
had disallowed Aug. 15.
The “Navy” is the Ferry
Chilkoot that runs between Jun
eau and Haines, with some stops
at Skagway. It is operated by
the Highway Department. It was
a former Navy LSM (a type of
landing ship).
Moore had refused two weeks
ago to honor a voucher for a
$2,800 insurance premium pay
ment another for a $600 fine
levied by the Coast Guard. The
fine was imposed because freight
was hauled on the ferry on a
trip north from Seattle after a
certificate had been disallowed
by the Coast Guard.
On the S600 fine, “Admiral”
Henry Roden, Commissioner of
Finance, showed the Auditor
that the purchase, agreement
provided that the Territory
would pay it. Moore found that
the purchase price was lowered
by that amount.
