NAVY TO BEAUTIFY LSTs
WITH NAMES OF COUNTIES
SAN FRANCISCO, UP — Does
the Navy think it can make an
LST prettier by giving it a name
instead of just a number?
Many a man who traveled in
wartime aboard a Landing Ship
Tank will doubt it.
Nevertheless, the Navy is pro
moting the awkward - looking
LST, the largest of landing craft,
to a ship class bearing names of
counties.

' WASHINGTON UPU-The House
passed and sent to the Senate
Wednesday a bill, requested by
the administration, to authorize
the secretary of the interior to
spend up to $250,000 a year on in
vestigation of Alaskan water re
sources.
The House squabbled over Re
clamation Bureau spending, water
power and Alaskan and Hawaiian
statehood before finally approv
ing the authorization by voice
vote.
Money necessary for such sur
veys would be subject to separate
action each year.
In past years the House has ap
propriated between $150,000 to
$250,000 annually for the investi
gations on a year-to-year basis,
but without a continuing authori
zation for appropriations.
Chairman Engle (D-Calif) of the
Insular Affairs Committee said
the bill would give Alaska “pre
cisely what the 17 western states
have had for years” from the
Bureau of Reclamation in the way
of water surveys.
Before finally passing the bill,
the House shouted down Repub
lican-backed proposals to cut the
amount to $100,000, limit the per
iod to one year, and give the sur
vey authority exclusively either
to the Army Engineers or the
Geological Survey.
It also rejected 278-79 a motion
by Rep. Budge (R-Idaho) to send
the bill back to committee.

Senate Group Ponders
On Unneighborliness of
Two Alaska Coal Miners
WASHINGTON, UPV—What, if
anything, to do about two Alaska
coal mine operators who Under
secretary of Interior Clarence Da
vis said are showing a “lack of
neighborliness” was being pon
dered today by the Senate Terri
tories subcommittee.
The question carne before the
subcommittee Wednesday on the
petition of A. Ben Shallit of Fair
banks, owner of the Cripple Creek
Coal Co. He aked an explanation
of why the Interior Dept, sudden
ly abandoned plans to construct a
5-mile spur to the Alaska Rail- ]
road to connect with the Cripple
Creek mine.
Before the daylong hearing was
over, the question boiled down to
why Shallit’s only access across
the adjoining Usibelli Mining Co.
operation was down the bed of
the Healy River.
Shallit said it was because the
Usibelli operators objected to any
proposal of his for right-of-way
on higher ground which would
give him an all-weather road and
permit him to expand his opera
tions from 6 to 12 months a year.
Robert McCarty, special Wash
ington attorney for Usibelli, said
the river bed right-of-way was
the only one for which Shalitt
ever applied. Other suggested
rights-of-way, he said, would
damage the Usibelli operation.
Asked by Sen. Bible (D-Nev)
why it wouldn’t be possible for
Shallit and Usibelli—each of
whom is leasing public lands from
the government— to share the
j latter’s all-weather road, Mc-Car
ty said he knew of “no business
like proposition” which had ever
been presented to that end.
William I Waugaman, Usibelli
general manager, said his firm
would be willing to share the road
if Shallit would reimburse it for
half the $100,000 it cost 10 years
ago.
