JUNEAU AFFECTED
BY REGULATIONS
ON EXPLOSIVES
(Continued from Page One)
A formal request Is being made
by Colonel Noyes, he said for the
immediate reopening of the pert
of Seward which, he pointed out
is one of the most important ports
for the discharging of explosive,
in Alaska. Unloading has been dont
at the ocean dock. A military waiver
or exception was granted to allow
unloading to December 1, 1950, with
the understanding the exception
was seasonal. Noyes will request
that the exception or waiver, be
extended for a period of 12 months.
Ho said the same request would be
made for the port of Valdez pend
ing a final solution of the problem.
.Amounts Vary
Admiral Greenspun pointed out
that allocations have been made
to allow larger amounts of explo
sives than the 500 pound limit
where it is considered dangerous to
human habitation is negligible. This
is true at Ketchikan, Cordova, Val
dez and Anchorage where amounts
vary from 6.000 to 50,000 pounds
allocated.
Juneau Affected
Juneau and Seward are the two
ports most seriously affected by the
new regulations inasmuch as nei
ther has proper dock facilities or
means of handling explosives by
lighterage and barge in an accept
able economic operation that would
meet the requirements set forth
by the Coast Guard.
Juneau is limited to 500 pounds
of explosives to be unloaded at one
time.
Norman Banfield. Juneau attor
ney, representing interests in Ju
neau and its outlying localities told
Admiral Greenspun that after a
survey by a committee named for
the purpose it had been determined
that Juneau has no dock suitable
for unloading of explosives in ac
cordance with present regulations.
Use of the du Pont Powder com
pany holding six miles south of Ju
neau on Gastineau Channel would
be impracticable as it would in
volve the present problem of un
loading in Juneau. Rehabilitation
of the dock and buildings at du
Pont and maintenance of a watch
man would be costly, he said.
Discharging by barge and lighter
age operation at Auk Bay or Tee
Harbor would not be feasible, he
said. Neither location is favorable
for operation from a large vessel,
operations would be costly involving
the hiring of unloading crews, and
schedule depending on arrival of
ships or weather conditions. Both
locations he said are in the midst
of human habitation as permanent
and summer homes line the beaches.
The floats in Auk Bay are used at
all times by small vessels.
Banfield said he did not believe
the use of the American Table of
Distances to be practical. He said
his committee believe that 20.000
pounds of explosives is a reasonable
request for an allocation at the
port of Juneau. He said it would be
desirable to have the job of un
loading ships be supervised by an
officer of the Coast Guard. Amounts
of from three to four thousand
tons of explosives could be removed
from the dock before more was un
loaded, he pointed out.
It is estimated that approximately
100 tons of explosives will be used
in the Juneau area in the next
year as far as knowm. As magazines
on the ships transporting explo
sives hold 11 tons the regulations
prohibiting the opening of maga
zines on ships to discharge small
amounts make it almost impossible
to get explosives into Juneau in
small lots.
FWS FISH TICKETS
ARE NOW AVAILABLE
The Fish and Wildlife Service is
now distributing fish tickets to fish
buyers in Southeast Alaska, it was
announced today. These tickets are
issued to fishermen by fish buyers,
dealers and canneries in Alaska
and are used instead of the private
tickets previously given out by the
individual purchasers of fish.
In this manner the FWS is able
to keep an official government re
cord of fish caught, from which
areas and wrhat kinds, officials ex
plained. These will be of value in
research work.

Past Season
SOUTH BEND. Ind., Jan. 4—MV
Frank Leahy, whose 1950 Notre
jDnme football team was voted "flop”
lof the year, admitted today that “we
I didn’t exactly set the world on
I fire.”
“I’m sorry about the season and
| I’m sorry about, that new title,”
the Irish coach said. “We seem to

• very low. We'll simply try hard to
do better in the future.”

failed to win back his once-retired
I heavyweight crown from Ezzard
I Charles, was runnerup in the pol!
l with 18 first place votes.

I pre-season AP poll the Irish v/ere
j picked as probable national cham
! pious. The previous year they were
j named “team of the year.”
Third in the poll was the Boston
Red Sox baseball team, with 15
first place votes and a total of 123
points.
i The top 10 flop.'; with first place
land total votes also included: St
i Louis Cardinals, baseball (9-76);
