Rubber-Tired Trains May
Solve Transport Problems
In Far North Mining Areas
ST. LOUIS (/PI — A Canadian
mining engineer says l'ubber
tired trackless trains may solve
the transportation problem in the
development of Canada’s far
north mining areas.
Emil Dubnie of Ottawa made
the remark in a closing session of
the 90th annual convention of
he American Institute of Mining,
Metallurgical and Petroleum
Engineers (AIME> here yesterday.
He is senior technologist of the
Mineral Resources Division of the
Canadian Department of Mines
and Technical Surveys.
Dubnie said during the past 30
years air, water, road and rail
transportation have served as an
adequate but costly means of
transportation for the far north.
He said rubber-tired trains
“would be more flexible in nego
tiating grades and curves and
would have lower initial construc
tion costs than railroads. It may
be the transportation of the north
in time to come.”
DON FOSTER

Don Foster, manager of the
local branch of Jonas Bros, and
who assisted in the Anchorage
store during the Rendezvous is
now in Kotzebue where the com
pany has opened up a receiving

Flying Surgeon Puts
The Blame on Pilots
For Aviation Accidents
WASHINGTON W — A flying
surgeon has blamed “the pilots”
lack of knowledge and profici
ency for most of the general
| aviation accidents which cost 835
| lives last year.
Dr. William Requarth of De
, catur. 111., who gave the testi
mony in the Senate’s Air Safety
Investigation, is President of the
National Pilots Assn. He said he
| was not speaking for the organi
I zation, however, but was giving
l the “best thinking of several of
our members who are well quali
fied to comment.”
General aviation embraces pri
vate and other civilian flying
other than airlines and the com
mercial air taxi services. Deaths
from air line accidents numbered
an additional 499 in 1960.
The Senate Aviation Subcom
mittee conducting the hearings
received testimony last week that
i 20 fatal accidents are caused by
pilot error in general aviation for
every one in commercial flying.
Requarth said he flies to Chi
cago at least once a week to con
duct classes at the University of
Chicago Medical School.
"About 83 per cent of our fa
talities can be prevented,” Re
quarth said. “Most are caused by
the pilot’s lack of knowledge and
proficiency.”
NERVES OF IRON
BERLIN — Soviet scientists
claim they have succeeded in
giving dogs “iron nerves.”
The East German news agency
ADN said in the Moscow experi
ments pieces of the dogs nerves
as long as two inches were re
moved and replaced by metal
electrodes.
