WHO’S TELLING WHOM ?
On Sunday, June 27th, according to announcement
from Moscow by the Soviet Council of Ministers, a
5,000-kilowatt atomic power station went into opera
tion in Russia (never mind just where) and is now
furnishing electricity to industry and agriculture in
adjacent areas.
The report stated that this is “the first industrial
electric station utilizing atomic energy,” which would
be true if there is such a plant and if it is turning out
kw’s competitively with water-power, coal or oil.
And if true, it makes paragraph four of the Eisen
hower-Churchill Policy Statement (issued June 29th)
sound a little silly. This says, in part: “It will be
our persevering resolve to promote conditions in which
the prodigious neuclear forces now in human hands
can be used to enrich and not to destroy mankind.”
TOWARD FREE ENTERPRISE
U.S. News & World Report has printed an article
on the recent improvement in British living conditions.
In the course of it this was said: “The end of food
rationing, set for July 3, will bring a further expansion
of private trading. Then merchants will deal competi
tively in meat much as they are doing now with fats
and cheese, just freed of government control.
“The British housewife is getting access to adver
tised grades of butter and brands of margerine that
she had almost forgotten, yet prices have not changed
much since decontrol.”
In other words, after years of iron-clad, socialistic
controls, Britain has found that the way to a better
life for the people lies in the direction of free competi
tive enterprise, where retailers must compete for busi
ness and consumers have the right to pick and choose.
Pretty girls are not more deserving necessarily;
they just seem so on the spur of the moment.
Standard Oil Co.
To Start Search
For Oil on Kenai
WASHINGTON, ItfL^Standard
Oil Co. of California will spend a
half million dollars in a hunt for
oil and gas on Alaska’s Kenai
Peninsula under a contract with
the Interior Department.
Lewis E. Ho'ffman, chief of the
division of minerals in the Bureau
of Land Management, said the
agreement, signed by Secretary of
Interior McKay, provides for the
company to spend at least $150,
000 for drilling operations in the
first year, and at least $100,000
each year thereafter up to $450,
000.
The ten year contract calls for
exploration of 750,000 acres, but
the company may control no more
than 250,000 acres at any one
time. If it explores one area and
finds it unworthy of development,
it may give up its control there
and move on to another area.
Hoffman said the company had
already started geophysical work,
and may start drilling operations
this summer.
Hoffman, back from a tour of
Alaska, said the Phillips Petrol
eum Co. is moving ahead rapidly
on its two million dollar contract
for exploration of a million acres
of potential gas and oil land near
the Naval reserve in the Point
Barrow region, which is about
ready to be opened for private
development. He said it is likely
that McKay will announce the
opening within 60 days.

Chance for Hawaii
Statehood Better
Than Month Ago
WASHINGTON, (AT—Gov. Sam
uel Wilder King of Hawaii con
ferred Tuesday with House
Speaker Martin (R-Mass) and re
ported that Martin is “not at all
pessimistic” about the chances for
Hawaii statehood.
King said Martin told him he
believes the outlook is better now
than a month ago, despite the
drive for adjournment of Con
gress by the end of this month
and the threat of a filibuster in
the Senate.
The governor told reporters
that Martin said he thought the
pressure building up for Hawaii
statehood is accumulating and in
creasing.”
“He gave me his blessing to go
to members of the rules commit
tee and ask for a rule to send
statehood bill to conference,”
King said.
“He said he felt that if a rule
is granted, the House would . . .
send the bill to' conference.”
King said he followed up Mar
tin’s advice by calling on two
rules committee members, who
both said they were ready to vote
for a rule whenever Chairman
Allen (R-Ill) brings it up.
MERCHANTS PRAISE
UNITIZED SHIPPING
The new unitized shipping cribs
which are being used experimen
tally for case goods and other pro
duce have proven themselves very
successful, stated Agent Walter
Sipprell, and will be used to
some extent on the last boat, on
cargo that can be emptied readily
so that the cribs can go out again
on the boat.
Larry Galvin was high in his
praise of this method of shipping,
stating that it was the first time j
that a complete shipment of mel
ons had arrived in perfect condi
tion without breakage.
This system also eliminates pil- |
ferage along the way and other
shipping losses when small cases
are handled many times in trans
it. These cribs contain 60 cubic
feet.
