; stated that Point Barrow is the
! permanent base and that here is
• a camp there occupied by 200
Seabees and naval engineering
| officers.
I The camp is virtually complete
i and the exploratory party expects
to leave for one oil area in Jan
uary. The admiral advised caution
in accepting reports of the entire
reserve potentials. He added that
the biggest problems will follow
the determination of the field’s
potentials.
A survey is being made to de
termine the feasibility of a pipe
line of more than 500 miles long,
to a reserve in Fairbamks.
From Fairbanks it might be
shipped to the coast by tank car
or from whence the pipeline
might be extended to an ice free
port.
The admiral is the Alaska Di
vision supervision engineer, and
the division director for the Bu
reau of Yards and Docks.
