Disastrous Brooklyn Fire
Said To Be Caused by
Acetylene Torch Sparks
NEW YORK, OP—Fire Commis
sioner Edward F. Cavanagh Jr.
says Brooklyn’s disastrous pier
explosion last Monday was caused
by acetylene torch sparks starting
a fire which touched off over 18
tons of detonating fuses.
Cavanagh said Friday night
sparks from the torches of ship
riggers, making repairs on the
roof of the big pier, fired burlap
wrapped foam rubber stored on
the pier and then spread to car
goes of alcohol, lacquer and var
nish.
Ten persons were killed and
247 injured in the fire and blast.
Damage has been estimated at
$15 million.
U.S. FISCAL YEAR ENDS
WITH $1,625,553,403 SURPLUS
WASHINGTON, Mt—For the
record, the United States ended
■the fiscal year last June with a
surplus of $1,625,553,403.69.
The Treasury Department an
nounced the final figure Friday,
after taking into account all re
ceipts and expenditures.
The total was nearly a million
dollars below that estimated last
July, when the figure was put at
$1,754,000,000.
U.S. and Russia Will
Map North Polar Region
Separately Next Year
WASHINGTON WV—The United
States and Russia will conduct
separate aerial photo-mapping op
erations in their sectors of the
North Polar region next year.
The Soviets Friday turned down
an American proposal for a joint
project which originally was sug
gested by Soviet scientists.
In a note made public by the
State Department, the Russians
said in effect they didn’t want
Americans making aerial photos
over Soviet territory in the Arctic
Ocean. But they indicated they
would be willing to have Russian
planes undertake photo missions
over U.S. polar areas.
The joint project had been pro
posed as part of the International
Geophysical Year, a worldwide
scientific research effort aimed at
finding out more about the earth
and the air around it.

New Armory...
(Continued from Page One)
or additions which better adapt it
to the special needs of the unit
and the community.
According to Col. Elvis M. Far
mer, acting adjutant general of
the Alaska National Guard, the
need for armories or even ade
quate armories has seriously im
paired the operation of the terri
tory’s National Guard and now
threatens its very existence which
is dependent mainly on realistic
territorial support in return for
federal recognition and the vast
amounts of money, supplies,
equipment and other support
coming into over 60 Alaska com
munities each year from the fed
eral government.
“Inadequate financing for the
operation of the Military Depart
ment and the lack of armories,”
says Col. Farmer, “have ham
strung recruiting, administration,
training, and supply control to a
point where we have not been
meeting the standards required of
us by federal inspectors.”
The Nome and Bethel structures
can be built at a cost of about
$1,550,000 together, with the fed
eral share of the post amounting
to about $906,000. The overall ter
ritorial share for the two armor
ies, including the 100 percent ter
ritorial extras, would amount to
about $644,000.
Other armory-community cen
ters planned for Fairbanks, An
chorage, Homer, Kodiak, Juneau
and Ketchikan can be matched
with federal funds on what
amounts to a 60-40 basis.
The Legislature will be asked
to bond the territory to the
amount of $1,400,000 to cover the
construction of all 6ight armories
before the federal matching pro
gram expires.
The Nome and Bethel armories
will each have approximately 12-,
000 square feet of floor space and
will include a drill hall, class
rooms, offices, rifle range, kitchen
supply rooms, shower and locker
rooms, and housing space for full
time battalion personnel.
Certain portions of the armory
will be available to the commu
nity for meetings, sport and rec
reational events and other public
purposes.
Another National Guard facili
ty, a $123,000 shop-hangar, will
also be built at Nome, but it will
have 100 percent federal funding.
It will house the National Guard
aircraft and provide office space
for battalion advisdr and detach
ment personnel.
