HEISEL VS. HEISEL;
BOTH WIN DIPLOMAS
Sgt. Ed Heisel. home on furlough
from the Air Force at Elmendorf
Field, decided he'd like to complete
the unfinished business of getting
his high school diploma. Through
arrangements with Dr. James Ryan
of the Territorial Education Depart
ment, young Heisel took examina
tion?. passed, and was awarded his
diploma.
It was with pride that he showed
it to his father, Walter B. Heisel,
deputy collector of Customs here.
Not to be outdone, the senior Heisel
recalled that he took one and one
half years of high school back in
Pleasant Ridge, Ohio, in 1904 but
didn’t get'a diploma.
"Can't let Ed get ahead of me,”
he muttered and hiked up to Dr.
Ryan's office where he made ar
rangements to take his examination.
He did so and received an average
of 90 in all tests. Yesterday he was
given his diploma.
After over 42 years ifc Government
service. Heisel said he might need
the diploma when he retires in a
few years and starts looking for
some permanent employment.

VANDENBERG
IS UNDER FIRE
OF SENATOR
f Continued from Page One)
Russia increases her air power and
atomic stockpile.
At another point, Vandenberg
gave his definition of what would be
"complete victory" in Korea. He
would regard it as complete victory
if there was unification of Korea
under a democratic government and
"some sort of" a Korean-Chinese
treaty.
In other high spots:
1. Vandenberg conceded under
Questioning by Senator Bridges that
some calls for F-84 fightej planes
for Korriv have gone unfilled while
deliveries of this type of craft were
made to North Atlantic Treaty na
tions. But Vandenberg said—"I
couldn't go along with the implica
tion” there were many casualties in j
the Air Force because of use of ob- ;
solescent airplanes.
2. Senator Hunt suggested "better
finesse could have been used" in j
firing MacArthur, but got no reply
from Vandenberg.
In hi: discussion of the U. S. Air
Force role in the present world sit
uation, Vandenberg harked back to
President Theodore Roosevelt’s ad
vice regarding the United States:
“Walk softly, but carry a big stick."
Then Vandenberg added:
"Tomorrow, if the Russian Air
Force has the atomic bomb and the
ability to deliver them, we have to
have an Air Force that can take the
attrition that would be necessary
to destroy that Air Force, and des
troy it promptly; and after that,
.have a sufficient Air Force left to
destroy the manufacturing potential
of Russia, and to tio what we call
policing action after that, to insure
that it was not rebuilt.

DIR. CG. SURVEY
Take About Another tOO
Years, He Says, to Chart
Alaskan Wafers
by Frank W. Vaille
WASHINGTON, May 29, — (API —
Although charts and soundings ol
Alaskan waters have been taken
spasmodically during the 84 years
of U. S. ownership, another 100
years may be required to complete
the work.
That is the estimate of Comdr.
Robert W. Knox, nominated by
President Truman as assistant dir
ector of the Coast and Geodetic
Survey.
The Seattle, Wa3h., native should
know whereof he speaks. Of his 28

years with the survey, 20 have been
spent at sea—12 of them in Alas
kan waters. His latest sea duty was
as Commander of the survey ship
Pathfinder directing survey opera
tions in the Bristol Bay area of
Alaska.
As commander of the Pathfinder,
Knox succeeded Rear Adm. Rob
ert Studds, present director of the
survey.
• Kncx’s Views
Knox’ view that it would take an
other 100 yea/s to complete the
Alaska work was brought out in
questioning by Senator Magnuson
D-Wash. when Knox appeared be
fore the Senate Commerce Commit
tee which, was considering his nom
ination.
Magnuson recalled difficulties of
the Navy in World War II. One of
his assignments as a naval offi
cer, he said, had been to find Al
aska fishermen with sufficient
knowledge of Alaskan waters to
keep the Navy from running
aground.
in f. fc.. Alaska
Knox agreed that chartings were
“spotty.Southeast Alaska waters,
he said, are “fairly well" covered,
but Bristol Bay and the Aleutians
are only “about half complete.”
Only reconnaissance surveys have
been run in Prince Willim Sound.
Farther north, except for work in
connection with the Navy’s oil op
erations at Barrow, the Arctic
waters are virtually virgin area.
The Bering Sea, he said, is the
priority project now. Knox told a
repoi ter later than many surveys
made years ago have become ob
solete because of the size of present
vessels.
“In those days a ship with a
draft cf 12 to 15 feet was a big
ship," he explained. "Now they run
to 24-25 feet.”
To illustrate the immensity of
the Alaska operation, Knox pointed
out ,that the territory has more
miles of coastline than the Pacific
and Atlantic coasts of the United
States combined.
He said chartings are proceeding
at roughly 6C0 to 700 square miles
a year. ;l
“It’s faster, of course, out' in the
Bering Sea where water is deeper
than it is in a place like Bristol
Bay,” he added. “In the deeper
water our soundings are farther
apart.”
Knox was torn in Seattle Oct. 29,
1897, and was graduated from the
University of Washington in 1923
with a Eachelor of Science degree
in Civil Engineering. He also ser
ved as technical advisor to a King
County, Wash., aerial survey.
