Banning Sale
Of Silver Brings
| Outcrys from Users
By Sam Dawson
NEW YORK UP) — Silver — a
commodity or a backing for
money? And what price silver?
Today the metal is under a
spotlight perhaps more intense
than at any time since the days
of Jennings Bryan’s cry for 16
to-1 status for silver.
As a commodity, silver has been
teetering on the edge of short
supply. Miners say its official
price has been too low to en
courage sufficient output. Users
wanted the price held down.
As a backing for paper money
it supports some $2 billion of
paper currency, all $1 bills and
some $2, $5 and $10 bills, known
as silver certificates, and it cir
culates as coins.
President Kennedy has order
ed the Treasury to stop selling it
at a pegged rate of 91.5 cents an
ounce. He also wants the silver
certificates replaced gradually by
federal reserve notes — now the
most widely used form of folding
money.
That makes miners happy, and
many others in states where min
ing activity may perk up. It makes
users unhappy, although many
agree it seemed inevitable.
Some silver dealers here say
the price might jump above $1
an ounce, now that the Treasury
isn’t selling it at what they call
bargain rates.
Commercial use of silver has
been growing — while production
of silver has been dropping.
It goes into jewelry and silver
ware. But use has been soaring
for photographic film and elec
tronics equipment, for use in mis
siles, in organic chemistry, even
food preservation, and for elec
trical circuits in such appliances
as TV sets and radios.
Supplies have grown tighter be
cause much silver output was
closed down, miners saying they
couldn’t operate profitably at the
legal price — 90.5 cents an ounce
— the Treasury paid for their
metal.
The gap between demand and
supply in this country has been
bridged by the U.S. Treasury
selling part of its supply. At the
start of the year the Treasury had
123.5 million ounces not tied up
as backing for currency. The
steady commercial demand has
whittled that dotorn to 22 million
ounces.
Wow commercial users must
look to the world market—where
prices seem bound to rise, even
if they fluctuate widely for a time.
American silver producers —
and those in other lands — con
tend that expected higher price
for the metal will start up pro
duction in mines now idle.
With more production, they
argue, the metal will come bade
to adequate supply and the price
will be stable.
Big users aren’t so happy. East
man Kodak uses nearly 28.5 mil
lion ounces a year to make silver
nitrate for its films. It has tried
to build up a stockpile, wishes it
could have got more.
Some users are philosophical
about it. At the rate the Treasury
stockpile was dwindling, there
wouldn’t have been much left in
it anyway, even if the President
hadn't acted.

Defense Building in
Arctic Prevents Nature’s
Icebox from Thawing
A defense building in Arctic
Alaska is built on refrigerators
with the idea of preventing na
ture’s icebox from thawing.
A pier foundation for the build
ing has built-in refrigerants de
signed to prevent, frozen ground
from thawing.
Army engineers specified piers
for the foundation of a radome
structure that stands three stories
high on a headland west of the
Eskimo town of Kotzebue located
north of the Arctic Circle on the
coast of the Chukchi Sea. The ra
dome was built this year to sup
plement facilities of the Kotze
bue Air Force Station.
The site is situated in a perma
frost area which extends over
large areas of northern Alaska.
Permafrost designates a layer of
subsoil that doesn’t thaw in the
summer as long as insulating
cover of tundra is not disturbed.
The tundra insulates the frozen
ground preventing it from thaw
ing in a way similar to the way
that sawdust-insulated ice kept
from melting in the summer at
old-fashioned icehouses. Once the
cover is removed the permafrost
thaws rapidly in the summer.
Construction in permafrost has
been hampered in the past be
cause of tiie difficulty in estab
lishing firm foundations.

Sen. Peratrovich
Gives Reasons for
Declining BIA Post
By Frit* Willi
WASHINGTON UP) — The Bu- ,
reau of Indian Affairs began j
looking yesterday for some else
to become its Alaska’s Area Di
rector after State Sen. Frank
Peratrovich of Alaska turned
down the job.
Peratrovich, President of the
Alaska Senate, said he was de
clining the offer because he found
“fundamental policy differences”
between himself and Interior De
partment officials on how Alaska
operations should be conducted.
I Philleo Nash, Commissioner of
1 Indian Affairs, confirmed that
| Peratrovich had been offered the
j job and declined. He said the Bu
r reau is now considering a number
‘ of others for the post since the
■ Alaskan decided not to take it.
Nash had no comment on the
differences referred to by Pera
trovioh, whom he termed “a very
fine and outstanding man.”
The Bureau would like to make
use of his services as a consultant
in the future, Nash added.
James Hawkins, present Area
Director stationed at Juneau is
being called to Washington for
consultations, possibly next week,
said Nash.
There will be a new Alaska
Area Director, he said, but it will
not be Hawkins, who is to be re
assigned. He declined to discuss
the other persons under con
sideration.
Peratrovich announced his de
cision through the office of Sen.
E. L,. Bartlett and then left for
Seattle, enroute to Alaska.
In Seattle, Peratrovich said he
offered a five-point program un
der which he would take the po
sition.
But he said he was told no
other area had that sort of privil
ege. so neither could Alaska.
Peratrovich said he considered
the five points necessary for suc
cessful operation of' the area of
fice. He listed them as:
The chance to fill a vacancy in
the Education Department of (he
Juneau office of the Indian Bu
reau.
Permission to appoint a gen
eral manager for Indian-operated
canneries in the capacity of a
