Seismograph Work
Completed Oliver
inset by Engineer
The first refractive type of geo
physical underground exploration in
Alaska has been completed by
James Leonard seismologist from
the Seattle U. S. Engineers office.
Leonard returned from Oliver In
let where ire carried on his work to
determine the depth of bedrock
between the heads of Oliver Inlet
and Seymour Canal, a distance of
about a mile. The explara i> 1 i. a|
part of a comprehen ive cl
rivers, harbors, and ivat :• power
now being canicii on l.i Southeast
Ala:;Kn.
The object of the exploration is
to determine the economic feari
Lility of digging a connecting chan
ncl that would permit fishing ves
sels to save time and distance as
well as avoid exposure to Taku
winds in season.
Five cases of dynamite were used
in tlie shooting that involved eight
stations 900 feet apart. Leonard has
not completed plotting the under
ground profile of the bedrock. Indi
cations are that it varies between
20 and 45 feet below muskeg and
tide flats.
The advantage of this type of ex
ploration is that this ,iob cost about
$2,000 whereas drilling of a series
of test holes would run around
$15,000 to acquire the same informa
tion.
The surface surveys are going for
ward by a Juneau crew and are
due for completion in two weeks.
Leonard has nothing but praise for
Terry Robbins, party chief; John
Monagle, Bill Graves and Harry
Johnson. He said that the crew
caught on to the seismo work and
in two days were as efficient as
crews he'd had in the field for six
months.

subjects of business were acting on
the Douglas Independent School
Districts budget and making fur
ther plans for July Fourth.
The School budget this year calls
lor in excess of $65,000. of which
over $13,000 will be contributed by
the Douglas School District, with
the City contributing something
over $9,200 of this amount. The
budget is well up over last year
because of additional teachers on
the school staff.
The tax rate was set at 10 mills
lor the school share again this
year, as it was last year, because of
additional revenues to be gained
due to added construction within
the city. The Council, with the
Fourth of July Committee approved
a similar Fourth of July program as

race at 11 o'clock, soft ball game

a show during the Fourth of July
;boat races, according to Joe Mc
Lean. Practices will take place at
the seaplane float in the small boat

participants will demonstrate in a
istyle worthy of the beaches at Cat
jalina Island.
1 Several speedboats are associa
| ted with this demonstration in or
| der to provide maximum safety and
(at the same time to give necessary
speed for proper maneuvering.
Those participating .will be Shir
ley Meuwissen, Lee Webstei, Dave
lEvanson, Jack Stennett, Howard
] Weed, Jim Vuille, Bob Pasquan and
Stu Houston.
Many Juneauites are familiar with

group at the small boat harbor dur

ALEUTIAN DUE SUNDAY
The Aleutian Is due sometime
Sunday a m. and will sail in the
afternoon and stop at Petersburg
enroute south.
FROM SMOG TO FOG
IS ONE MAN'S TRIP
TO THEJERRITORY
When the Aleutian docked here
Monday midnight it brought not
only the official delegation of the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce
Good-will Trade group, but inclu
ded in the passenger list was Mel
vin Wach (pronounced like “walk’''
who had decided he would prefer
fog to smog.
Because Wach had lived and
worked in Swissvale, at the edge of
Pittsburgh, known for a number of
years as “the Smoky City” until
the city dads there did something
about 4t.
Melvin wrote to mutual friends
awhile ago and found there would
be room in Juneau for an exper
ienced hardware man. That lead
him to sever his connections with
the Swissvale Hardware and Heat
ing Company, where he had worked
for 31 years.
A graduate of the public schools
of Swissvale, Wach is now a mem
ber of the staff of employees at
Juneau Young Hardware Company.
Three daughters and a son re
main with Mrst Wach. back in the
"Smoggy City” until circumstances
here enable Melvin's folks to join
their father and husband.
Anyone who knows, knows that
the clear sparkling days we do have
make up for the days of fog, char
acteristic of Southeastern Alaska’s
temperamental weather, and that
both are more invigorating than
the smog of the great steel center
of America.
SENATE INQUIRY
ON MAC ARTHUR
APPEARS ENDED
WASHINGTON, June 28 —UP)—
The stormy Senate inquiry into the
ouster of Gen. Douglas MacArthur
appears ended, but debate contin
ued almost as hot as ever today
over who was right — President
Truman or MacArthur.
Here is an example of the sharp
division in the Senate Armed Serv
ices and Foreign Relations commit
tees which conducted the 42-day
investigation:
Senator McMahon: “The MacAr
thur-ites have lost their case.”
Senator Brewster: "The record of
the hearings pretty completely de
vastates the Truman administra
tion’s case.”
The indications are some of the
other 24 members of the inquiry
panel will line up with McMahon,
some with Brewster, while others
probably will take position some
where in between.
The lengthy investigation — it
started May 3 — came yesterday to
what most members regard as a
permanent halt so far as oral testi
mony is concerned.
The jpint committee will meet to
morrow or Thursday to discuss plans
for reports on the investigation and
to arrange for possible submission
of written statements from some
persons who did not testify.
