NAVAL RESEARCH
EXPERT TO JOIN
JIRP ON ICE CAP
In line with one objective of the j
Office of Naval Research. Dr. Louis |
O. Quam of that office plans to
spend ten days observing work of j
the Juneau Icefield Research Pro- I
ject (JIRP' on the Juneau Ice Cap.
That objective, in Quam's words. |
is 'to keep in touch with the scien
tific world, know who the principal
scientists are and what they are
doing.”
The JIRP expedition sponsored
by the American Geographical Soc
iety of New York is supported
financially by O.N.R., part of the 1
•sFrentific researeff wholly or partly
financed through contracts with
scientific institutions and univer- j
sities.
The U. S. Army supplies JIRP
with equipment, the Air Force and
Navy with logistics support. ThCs,
the glacial and allied studies make j
up an all-Defense Department pro
ject, according to Dr. Quam.
Professor of geography at the
University of Virginia at Charlot
tesville, Dr. Quam was called for
O.N.R. duty in February on an in
definite assignment which will de
pend on world conditions.
The O.N.R. was set up by the j
Congress after World War II. It |
is designed as a permanent organ- ]
ization to carry on the kind of work
done by the Office of Scientific j
Research and Development, which
built the atom bomb.
Dr. Quam, who says he is really i
a physiographer, has as his special
interest glaciers and glacier top- '
ography.
“With the Arctic recognized as a
vital region,” Dr. Quam said today,
“knowledge of ice and permafrost
is essential. Arctic operations, for j
instance, need structures on ice and I
permafrost. We know very little !
about the mechanical movement of ‘
ice—what makes it move, how much
water there is at low levels, the
effects of freezing and thawing on
the whole ice mass and such ques
tions.”
Most of Dr. Quam's pre-war work
was at the University of Colorado.
His original home was Boulder,
Colo., and he was in Naval Intel
ligence during the war.
From here. Dr. Quam will go to
Point Barrow to visit the Naval
Research Laboratory which is mak
ing permafrost studies. He will re
turn directly from the Interior to
Washington, D. C.
The tall, lean young scientist had
planned to walk in to the Ice Cap.
However, he said, “I took a con
ditioning hike—a climb of Mount
Juneau—which put me out of con
dition, so now 1 11 ride up on the
ski-plane Saturday to join the other
ice flies.”
Dr. Quam looked over the Ice
Cap yesterday on a flight with
Kenneth Lokken, who was to make
several drops of mail and supplies
for a number of the 16 JIRP camps
on the ice field.
On this, his first trip to Ala.skV,
Dr. Quam arrived in Juneau Sun
day. He is stopping at the Juneau
Hotel.

TACOMA BOAT PLANT
DESTROYED BY FIRE
TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 16—A
spectacular fire virtually destroyed
the Western Boat Building and the
Marine Iron Works plants at the
east end of the llth Street bridge
here last midnight.
Martin Petrich, Sr., owner of the
boat building plant, said "I would
say the plant can’t be duplicated for
less than $2,000,000.” He said only
a small percentage of the value of
the plant was covered by insurance,
and this was based on 1942 figures.
He said the equipment in the ma
rine iron works plants was more
fully covered.
Damage estimates ranged from
half a million dollars upward.
A 100-foot tuna clipper on the boat
company ways was 20 percent de
stroyed. Several tractors at the ma
rine iron works building also were
lost.
Eleven fire companies and the
city fireboat battled the flames
which at times threatened to spread
to the nearby Northwest Door Com
pany.

SiTKA PULP MILL
EXECUTIVES HERE
Three executives of a corporation
set up to construct a rayon and
cellophane pulp mill at Sitka—
worth some $25,000,000—are in Ju
neau to talk over business matters
with the Chamber of Commerce
here and to appear at tomorrow’s
luncheon meet of that body.
They are Charles Semal and Si
mon J. Nusbaum of New York City,
vice-president and secretary-direc
tor respectively, of the Alaska In
dustrial Corp., and Roy W. John
son of Seattle, a consulting engin
eer, also a vice-president of the
lirm.
The corporation has been invest
igating the terrain around Sitka
for two years and has spent con
siderable money in preliminary
work already, although the firm is
not yet ready to begin construction
until later.
Johnson, appeared in July before
the Senate finance committee to
explain need in Alaska for tax in
centives to be made by the gov
ernment in order for industries to
get under way in the north.
He asked that Alaska be ex<
empted from corporate income
taxes, so long as income from a
venture remained here. He pointed
out the number of businesses in
British Columbia flourishing be
cause of incentives granted by the
Dominion.
The company's proposed mill
would produce daily some 225 tons
of pulp initially, to concentrate on
production of a fine grade for pro
duction of rayon and cellophane,
which requires higher quality than
paper.
The proposal is smaller than the
pending Ketchikan mill, which will
be built to produce 300 tons daily.
, The three will speak at the
Chamber’s meet tomorrow and will
answer question concerning their
project. They plan on being here
several days.
Mrs. Nusbaum and Mrs. Semal
are with their husbands. This trip
north is the first for Mr. and Mrs.
Nusbaum, both of whom < are en
thused about what they’ve seen of
Alaska.
