01. ! year. He said much of the delay
I 1 • due to the “late availability of
j money, but it also was caused by
unstable labor conditions.”
A bid call for many projects was
delayed for months hoping wage
rates would be set, Seeman said, and
this year contracts totalling about
i 170,000,000 are to be awarded ir.
the next five months.
Full Capacity Job
Seeman said the construction
program will tax all the building
facilities of Alaska continually —
ports, railroad, unloading docks,
etc. — and all "must work at full
capacity.”
He added that if there was any
interruption causing these facilities
to lie idle even a short time, the
entire program would be retarded
and “we won’t be able to catch up.”
J. P. Johnson, manager of the
Alaska Railroad, said the line’s re
habilitation program was only 65
percent complete and added that
“we must undertake river boat
service rehabilitation this summer”
because of military installations de
pending on them for such service.
Government representatives will |
sit separately with contractors and !
union groups to study mutual prob
lems and try to find a way of
avoiding work interruptions.
Then all parties will be assembled
in another meeting to hear reports,
a procedure that may take several j
days.
TENTATIVE RULES SET
CAPITAL-TO-CAPITAL
CRUISER RACE, 1951
The major change in tentative
| rules set up for the fourth running
j of the 1951 Capital - to - Capital
| Cruiser race ending in Juneau,
Saturday, June 23. at 1 p. m. is
that a contestant may amend his
predictions on either of the two legs
of the race by air-mailing one copy
of his prediction change to the
finish and giving the other copy
to his observer.
These amendments can apply only
to portions of the course that the
contestant has nbt already run and
will apply only from control point
to control point. The purpose of
this rule change is to allow for
weather or breakdown holding up
a contestant for several hours and
thus replanning the contestant’s
race making the race more scienti
fic instead of a guessing contest.
Control points have been added
on the Prince Rupert to Juneau leg
over the number used on the last
race in 1949. The complete list of
control points for this portion of
;the race now are Tree Point Light,
Spire Island Light, McHenry Ledge
Light, Wrangell Breakwater Light,
Buoy 46 at Petersburg, Five Fingers
Light and Midway Island Light. The
reason for the extra control point'
in this portion of the race is to
make it a little more difficult on
the racers.
Any contestant may set up a
different course where the control
points would match with the Inter
national Power Boat Association,
sponsoring the race, setting up the
special control points for the con
testant.
The second male?' change in the
tentative rules is the elimination
of the first of two British Columbia
legs used in the 1949 race with only
the two legs used in this year’s
race—Bremerton to Prince Rupert
and Prince Rupert to Juneau.
Twenty-four hours lay over time
are given the contestants on the
first leg and 12 hours on the last
leg. The contestants may use the
lay over time for any purpose but
they cannot leave the course during
the lay over time.
No time pieces are allowed at any
time except at the control points,
and then only to check the arrival
and departure time. Entrance fee
has been raised from $5 to $10 for
this race. Observers aboard the
cruisers will be exchanged at Prince
Rupert.
Trophies are offered for both legs
and the overall Bremerton to
Juneau race. On the Prince Rupert
leg, first, second and third place
winners will be awarded perpetual
trophies as presented by the Prince
Rupert Yacht Club. First, second
and third place plaques will be
awarded for the Prince Rupert to
Juneau leg by the Juneau Yacht
Club.
Over all awards for the first three
places are as follows: First place

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23 — '.T> —
The National Production Authority
has ordered tungsten under allo
cation on March 1 and limited non
essential uses of the steel-alloying
material. The agency also tightened
up its entire steel regulation.
NPA Administrator William II.
Harrison aid the curtailment of
tungsten supplies from China and
Korea, both important producers,
indicates that industry will receive
this year “considerably less than
normal requirements” of tungsten.
After March 1 NPA will allocate
all tungsten except ores and scrap
according to the essentiality of the
products being made. No person will
be permitted to use in any three
month period more than 50 pounds
of tungsten in making grinding
wheels, printing and lithographic
inks or pigments of any type, color
ing material for wall paper or other
products.
The Navy is insuring that all of
its personnel on active duty have
in their possession metal indentifi
cation tags. This is to make certain
that personnel will be able to wear
the tags when they enter an area
where conditions demand such
wearing. The requirements that the
tags be worn is, at the present time,
left to the discretion of the local
commanders in zones outside the
United States.
The tags are attached to a chain
worn around the neck and are light
enough not to cause discomfort
Impressed into the surface of the
tags are the person’s first, second
and last names, file or serial num
ber, branch of service, religious af
filiation and blood-type.
The use of identification tag?

DEMPSEY BOOK HA!
GOOD RING READING
By FRANK ECK
(AP Newsfeatures Sports Editor)
NEW YORK—UP)—You can’t lean
! to fight from a book but if yoi
I read Jack Dempsey’s tome on fisti
| cuffs you could learn a lot abou
the manly art of self-defense.
The Manassa Mauler’s book
“ChampionshipFighting” (Prentice
WANTED
Recent Model
Standard
i TYPEWRITER
I Phone: Black 564
Hall $3), is a straight-froni-the
shoulder opus.
Exclusive of a couple of come-1
backs for exhibition purposes in j
the early Thirties and again some
ten years ago, Dempsey's ring ex- i
perience covers 13 years. His book
covers every possible phase of the |
game.
Featuring explosive punching and
aggressive defensive tactics, the j
2C2-page book with illustrations |
covers the difference between fight- :
ing and boxing, the power line,!
stance, footwork, hooking, uppercuts,
feinting and blocking.
One cf the most interesting chap
ters is the one on ‘ How to Watch
a Fight.”
“The big secret of correct fight- ,
watching is to keep your eyes and
your attention focused on both men
—not just one,” writes Dempsey.
It might be to the advantage of
some fight judges and referees to
read the book. Maybe there woulf?
be fewer split decisions.

1950 hunting season hau Its zany

volved Piene Perry, the former
French boxer who came west to
seareh for uranium.
He took a day off to go deer
hunting. Pierre lugged his rifle all
day without success. Then he trad
ed it for a slingshot to hunt chick
en hawk.
That’s when a 165-pound buck
appeared. Pierre brought it down
with a ball bearing fired from his
sling. A hunting companion, Fred
C. Clemorc, swears this happened.

Ktoper, a 15-year-old high school
athlete. A large pheasant cock
took to the air, soared about nine
feet off the ground and headed for
Richard. The lad leaped, caught
the bird by the neck, and held on.
A deputy game warden witnessed
this flying bird tackle.
Then there was the Utah farmer,
Walt Summers, who wanted to find
cut if hunters could tell a mounted
bird frotr. the real thing.
They couldn't. Summers said 50
shots were fired at his stuffed
pheasant.
