southeastern Alaska wood pulp
resources in the near future, look

sibilities in this area with mem

agement and the Chamber of
Commerce.
Tadao Sasayama, chairman of
the board of 'Alaska Pulp, which
■was formed earlier this month in
Juneau, expressed special interest
in the territory’s oil potential.
A ready oil supply here would
be of great interest to Japan be
cause of its relative nearness to
Japanese islands, Sasayama said.
He pointed out that Japan has to
import much crude and refined
oil from the United States.
Before boarding a plane for
Tokyo, Sasayama said he now has
a good friend in Yugoslavia check

WASHINGTON — President
Dwight D. Eisenhower is a life
long military man, but this isn’t
making it easier for service chiefs
to bilk the Federal treasury. In
fact, Ike seems to know money
can be saved in the military ma
chine and shows little inclination
to be patient with rivalry among
service chiefs for more and more
money.
The President has every reason
to understand the military pro
cess. He saw the Army operate at
close quarters for many years and
watched the service chiefs’ an
nual fight in Washington (Army
versus Navy) for the biggest slice
of the appropriations pie. Now it’s
a three way fight for the money,
the Air Force actually getting
more than either of the other two
services.
Recent studies have shown the
U.S. Army requires more men be
hind the lines and in easy chairs
back home, per combat man on
the front, than any other army in
the world. While we may have a
higher standard, and give our men
better protection and equipment
and services, the ratio is still too
high.
The Navy has long maintained
duplicate facilities and airfields in
numerous places — where savings
could be effected if the services
had joined in the use and upkeep
of a joint installation. And per
sonnel cuts are in order in '.he
>r.-vy just, as in the Army — es
pecially since that service saw
little combat in the Korean con
flict, and since the Communists
possess little in the way of naval;
strength.
These cuts will be made — or
at least have been ordered — and
there is no chance that the pre
sent administration will b a. c k
down on this count. The services
will have to tighten their belts.

B-36 Is Last Piston
Engined Bomber
WASHINGTON, UFi — The air
craft industry probably will de
liver its last piston engine bomber
next year, says DeWitt C. Ram
sey, head of the U.S. Aircraft
Industry which during 1953, for
the first time, produced more jet
powered military airplanes than
the piston engine variety.
During the year, the industry
delivered its last piston engine
fighter, he said. All fighter craft
now in production are of the
speedier jet engine type.
“At least four new jet fighter
models will continue- to increase,”
Ramsey said.
“Production of jet aircraft by
year’s end may comprise 75 per
cent of the monthly military air
craft output.
“In all probability the last pis
ton engined bomber will be de
livered during 1954.”
An Air Force spokesman said
production of the only remaining
piston engine bomber, the B-36,
will gradually be closed out dur
ing 1954. The B-36 has six piston
engines and four jet ingines.
Thereafter, military piston en
gine aircraft in production will
consist of transports, trainers,
small reconnaissance planes and
helicopters.
