Defense Minerals
Approves 2 Loans
For Alaska Work
Two loans have been approved
by the Defense Minerals Adminis
tration for exploration work on
strategic minerals in Alaska.
The Admiralty Alaska Gold Mi
ning Company at Finite • has re
ceived a loan of $120 000 to develop
the Mertie lode conta ring nickd,
copper and cobalt. Government
participation in the loan is 90 per
cent of $108,000 with the company
contributing the balance of $12,000.
Sam Peckovich of Juneau is
manager of the company.
A small amount of v.ork prior to
the loan has been completed on
the claims consisting of diamond
drilling and a short tunnel, accor d
ing to S. H. Lorain, one of the two
members of the Defence Minerals
Administration field team for Al
aska.
The work indicates the presence
of several hundred thousand tons
of nickel-copper ore, he said. The
project is designed to develop U.
S. sources of nickel ore which at
prerjpnt must be imported almost
entirely from foreign sources, chief
ly eastern Canada.
The Zenda Gold Mining Com
pany received a loan of $60,000 for
exploration work on tin deposits
on the Seward Peninsula. The
company's claims are a fev, miles
northeast of Tin City.
The federal government also
participates 90 per cent in this
loan with the company contribut
ing the balance. Norman C. Stines
of Seattle is manager for the com
pany.
Tin bearing placers on several
creeks will be tested by this com
pany. The only producing tin prop
erties in North America are lo
cated on Seward Peninsula, accord
ing to Lorain.
Fur many years Alaska has been
a small but regular producer of
tin, according to U. S. Bureau of
Mines publications. In the course
of nearly 50 years since tin min
erals were discovered on the pen
insula, the Territory has shipped
tin worth more than $1,700,000.
Alaskan deposits have furnished
by far the largest quantity of tin
that has been produced anywhere
within the limits of the U. S. or
its possessions, it is stated in the
publications.
Wafer Problems Are
Acute in Interior
Albrecht Reports
Dr. C. Earl Albrecht returned
Tuesday from thV westward and in
terior where he. had been to attend
the Alaska Science ccnfercnce early
this month and consult on water and
sanitation problems at Anchorage,
Palmer, Fairbanks and Seward.
“•The water situation in those
cities is extremely acute,” he said
today. "With the i rapid growth of
Palmer due to the Eklutna hydro
electric project near there, the need
for additional water is great.”
He consulted wtah the town's of
ficials regarding ' water sources,
treatment and distribution. He con
ferred with the Palmer hospital
board.
In Anchorage the water problem
is also acute. There are over 4,000
children in school there, which is
the count of the city’s population in
1940, he said.
"Polio is not as bad as it was last
year,” Albrecht stated, “with only
a few mild cases.”
He was enthusiastic about the
success of the Alaska Science Con
ference held Sept. 4 through 8 at
Mt. McKinley National Park. He
said that about 200 persons attended,
representing 12 universities of both
Canada and the United States, as
well as officials of many Territorial
and Federal gencies. Ninety-three
papers were given during the con
ference.
“Those attending the conference
were impressed with the vast amount
of research that had been accom
plished and the need for continued
arctic and sub-arctic studies,” Al
brecht said.
Double-Cross
Loses Parole
For Gambler
NEW YORK, Sept. 20—Wl—Gam
bler Harry Gross, whose brazen re
fusal to testify .shattered the state’s
bribery case against 18 policemen,
today lost his parole and must re
main in jail.
A three-judge special sessions
court revoked the parole, which had
been granted six months ago while
Gross awaited sentencing on gambl
ing charges.
District Attorney Miles F. McDon
ald. whom the dapper gambler had
double-crossed in backing down on
his original agreement to talk at
the trial, asked that the parole be j
thrown out.
"I am no longer able to guarantee
to produce this witness when he is
wanted,” McDonald said.

Claims Jessup Said
Recognition of Red
China 'Imminent'
Ex-Officer Tells Senators
Stafemenfs Made in
Tokyo in January
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20—TP)—A
retired far eastern army Intelligence
officer testified today that early
last year Ambassador-at-Large Phil
ip C. Jessup told him U. S. recogni
tion of Communist China was im
minent.
Brig. Gen. Louis J. Fortier said the
conversation took place in Tokyo
in January, 1950, and quoted Jessup
as saying that recognition would
not mean approval of the nature
or character of the Red regime.
Fortier testified at a nearing
of the Senate Internal Security
subcom nitlee which is proving
for anv subversive influences on
IT. S. poHeies in the Pacific.
He said that Jessup arrived in
Tokyo “about the time we had got
word that Great Britain had recog
nized Communist China.” and For
tier related ho asked Jessup when
this country was going to recognize
the Red regime of Mao tse-Tunp.
“Jessup said, ‘well in about two or
three weeks’,” Fortier testified, add
ing that he was not attempting to
use Jessup's exact words.
“Was it a categorical statement?”
asked Robert Morris, the subcom
mittee’s counsel.
Fortier said he had difficulty
in recalling Jessup“s precise words
but he added that he remembered
that “I picked up the statement
and argued that it would be a
grave error.”
Jessup wgs renominated about a
week ago b'y President Truman to
be a U. S. delegate to the United
Nations. Some Republican Senators
have indicated they may try to block
the appointment.
Senator McCarthy (R-Wis), who
has accused Jessup of having “an
affinity for Communist causes,” al
ready has asked to be heard on the
nomination. Jessup has denied Mc
Carthy's charge.

Juneau School
Enrollment Up 96
Over Opening Day
Ninety-six additional students
have been added to the enrollment
of Juneau’s schools since opening
day of the semester. Sept. 4.
This was revealed in records in
the office of Sterling Sears, super
intendent of schools.
When school opened 716 children
reported for grade school and 238 in
the high school. Today the enroll
ment for the grade school is 797
and high school 253. This makes a
total of 1050 pupils.
Sears said this was not the highest
high school enrollment the school
has had. In 1939 it was 255 and in
1940 there were 254 pupils, but he
added that those figures were bas
ed on an end of the school year
count.
“We generally increase our enroll
ment by 15 to 20 during the year,”
he said. “If that holds true this
year, we should surpass that of
any other year.”
Sears said that the recent fresh
man initiation was a real success.
It was carried out in the school au
ditorium with “stunts” put on by the
freshmen, at demand from the soph
omores, during the day and a party
in the evening. He expressed appre
ciation to parents and children alike
for the splendid cooperation extend
ed in making the annual hazing of
the freshmen an enjoyable and well
managed affair.
