Resolution Calls For
Polaris Sub Base in Alaska
JUNEAU UR — A resolution
urging the state’s congressional
delegation to promote Alaskan
areas as sites for Polaris nuclear
submarine bases was introduced
in the Senate Saturday by Sen.
Howard Pollock, CR-Anchorage).
The resolution said there were
many places in Alaska ideally
suited, by reason of accessibility,
natural harbors and relative dis
tance from large centers of popu
lation, for the establishment of
OPolaris sub bases.
The resolution mentioned Chat
ham Strait in Southeast Alaska,
Prince William Sound near Cor
dova, Resurrection Bay near
Seward, Kodiak Island, Afognak
Island and Adak.
In an accompanying statement,
Pollock said the base won’t be of
fered to Alaska on a silver platter
and he said Alaska’s congression
al delegation “must be prodded
into action before we lose it by
default.”

Underground Blasts
Leave Big Depressions
LAS VEGAS, Nev. OR — Mam
moth depressions have formed in
the earth over the area where
four of the current series of un
derground nuclear test explosion
were conducted, officials said yes
terday.
The Atomic Energy Commis
sion revealed the ground on the
Nevada test site sank up to 50
feet in areas up to several hun
dred feet wide.
The depressions developed 15
to 25 minutes after the blasts.
All detonations involved devices
fired at the bottom of vertical
shafts drilled into the earth and
refiled prior to firing.
AEC theorized the surface col
lapsed after underground cavities
were formed toy the force of ex
panding nuclear fireballs.
There was no marked increase
in radiation around the depres
sions, the AEC said.

Alaskan Pilots to Meet
In Anchorage April 18
Alaskan pilots will have an
other opportunity to air their
views of the regulations under
which they operate, according to
the Federal Aviation Agency
which has scheduled a general
aviation meeting in Anchorage
April 48.
The meeting will be one of
eight to be held throughout the
United States during the month
and will be the second time pilots
have gathered with FAA officials
to discuss proposed revision of
general aviation operating pro
cedures. Last October initial dis
cussion took place when nearly
8,000 airmen gathered at 88 Air
Share meetings across the coun
try. They commented on the cur
rent Part 43 of the Civil Air Regu
lations—which cover flight rules
for the general aviation—and sug
gested changes. These comments
are now being anaylzed and the
FAA will present the changes it
recommends at the April session.
Similar meetings will be held
at Kansas City, Kan.; Atlanta,
Washington, Honolulu, Ft. Worth,
Van Nuys, Calif.; and Harisburg,
Pa.
The senes of meetings is part
of a concerted drive launched last
year by FAA Administrator N. E.
Halaby to establish better, closer
relations with the “grass roots”
of the aviation community. It is
an effort aimed at the widest pos
sible direct discussion with air
men of FAA programs and poli
cies so they will be clearly under
stood—and so they can be changed
where appropriate to be more re
sponsive to aviation’s needs, but
still not compromise safety in any
way, FAA officials pointed out.
