Barrow Report
Work is progressing rapidly on
the new REA system. A quonset
type building has been erected to
house the power units, which con
sist of three Hercules diesel en
gines, each coupled to a General
Electric j‘20 kw. generator. Pole
setting will begin shortly, and
drilling equipment is being read
ied for this phase of the operation.
In connection with the REA
power lines, streets have to be
straightened. This means that
many buildings must be moved.
The relocation has already started.
One of the first to travel is
Brower’s Store. Owned by Thomas
Brower, the establishment was be
gun in 1884, and has been pointed
out as one of the oldest general
merchandising firms along the Arc
tic Coast. Fortunately, it was neces
sary to move the building only a
few dozen feet, and business is
being conducted as usual.
The ocean off Barrow has be
come very rough, though there is
little wind. Heavy surf makes the
launching of boats difficult, so
there is no travel up or down the
coast. White-capped seas with no
wind occurs every year about this
time, but the reason for it is vague.
Some say the turbulence is caused
by storms far out at sea. beyond
sight and sound of Barrow. This
seems to be as good a reason as
i any, and better than most.
Observations: Ducks are skim
ming south in great flocks daily.
Ice is forming on the lakes and
lagoons. It is already solid enough
for skating, and the kids are having
a ball. ,
Conclusion: The time of good
sledding is nearly here.

Interior Would Apply
Pribilof Rents to Budget
WASHINGTON — A bill to
make a technical change in the
administration of the Pribilof Is
lands fur seal reservation was in
troduced in the Senate yesterday
by Sen. Warren G. Magnuson.
The change, requested by the In
terior Department, would permit
the department to credit to its ap
propriation cash received from
Aleut native employes for rent,
food and other supplies and serv
ices provided by the department.
Previously, the department
withheld pay to cover the cost of
groceries and other services, but
now the jobs arc being converted
to Civil Service status and wage
board positions.
Unless the cash receipts can be
used to replenish stocks in the
government depots instead of go
; ing directly to the Treasury, the
department would be forced to
seek additional appropriations, the
department said.

Space Chief Suggests
Picking Moon Site
HOUSTON, Tex. UP) — U.S.
Space Chief James E. Webb sug
gested today that as a first step
in a joint effort at reaching the
moon, the United States and Rus
sial could co-operate on choosing
a lunar landing site and base of
exploration.
In a speech before the Texas
Midcontinent Oil and Gas Asso
ciation. Webb said President Ken
nedy’s call for a joint moon ven
ture was not a change in U.S.
policy.
Kennedy’s proposal at the
United Nations last Friday for
the United States to join the Soviet
Union in an expedition to the moon
raised some speculation that the
President was drawing back from
the goal of a U.S. moon-landing
in this decade.
The speculation centered on
the attempts to reduce spending
and delays in the moon program
time-table.
At a news conference Tuesday
night Webb said “Americans are
too sophisticated to put off a suc
cessful program where 90 per cent
Of the work is already under
contract.”
He told newsmen that a joint
U.S.-Russian moon shot effort
i would not necessarily mean as
tronauts and cosmonauts would
ride in the same space ships.
