Alaska Miners
Can Use Help,
Saarela Says
The importance of aiding the Al
askan miner was stressed by Leo
H. Saarela, commissioner of mines,
upon his return from Fairbanks
where he attended the anti-trust
trials of the Interior coal operat
ors.
Saarela said that most miners at
the meeting of the Alaska Miners
Association, which he also attended,
felt that some effort should be
made by the federal government to
encourage Alaskan producers of
strategic metals and ores.
The Miners association passed a
resolution to investigate what might
be done to aid in the reestablish
ment of base metals purchasing de
pots in the Territory.
"Various programs that are be
ing carried out by government agen
cies are helpful but as there is no
Alaskan program of taking the pro
duct off the producers’ hands, there
is little incentive to mine," Saar
ela stated.
Miners Busy
The mines commissioners said that
most miners are too busy trying to
make a living to bother with the
marketing of a base metal or strate
gic mineral. He said it should be
up to the government to encourage
these individuals by paying them
on the spot for their efforts.
"After all," he said, "that is whAt
made the gold mining attractive in
the early days and there was no
marketing problem.”
Saarela reports an adequate sup
ply of coal is now available in the
Tanana Valley region and that the
consumer market there is in good
condition. But he says the operators
in the Matanuska area are being
hard pressed to fill the needs of
the rapidly expanding Anchorage
area.
He emphasized the needs at Al
aska coal mines for an extensive
safety instruction program. A study
is being made which may begin a
program of safety and first aid by
the Department of Mines.
Saarela gave credit to uniA safe
ty committee inspections at mine
properties for the excellent safety
record of the past several years.

Fleet Can Deliver
Atomic Attack
By Associated Press
The U. S. Chief of Naval Opera

doesn't have the A-bomb. But it |
does have — as Admiral William

When a newsman in Naples, Italy,
wanted to know how fast the fleet!
could get an A-bomb, the admiral
remarked that the other side of the

that, too.

the Oregon State College Beaver.;

Neither team is in the running for

starting falling in Seattle shortly
after midnight. The kickoff is set
for 1:30 p.m., PST.

'Moving Into Time
Of Atomic Plenty,'
Says Air Secretary
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3—'W—Air
Secretary Finletter said today the
United States is “moving into a
time of atomic plenty" which will
make nuclear weapons available for
the battlefield.
He told a news conference that
it is, therefore, very important
to make sure that our air plans
keep up with the increased num
ber and changed types of weapons
that will be carried.”
Finletter, who returned recently
fiom a series of conferences with
U. S. and allied military officials
in Europe, including General Eisen
hower, said he "was glad to find
that all those that I have talked
to were very alert to this matter
of the importance of air power” in
Europe.
Finletter added he thought there
was a “general recognition that
while it is absolutely necessary to
have the proper number of divisions
to hold the line, we must have pre
dominate air power to gain air sup
eqority and to keep an enemy off
the back of our troops.”
