to the Sand Spit Friday evening
to put out a fire in an unoccupied

mattresses.

John Marvik, Chief of Police
Atom Scientists
Here to Reassure
Native Population
Members of the Chamber of i
Commerce and other interested;
citizens met informally with three |
representatives of the U.S. Atom- j
ic Energy Commission Saturday ]
morning for further discussion on ,
Project Chariot.
The three men, Rod Southwick, j
Dr. Robert Rausch of Arctic:
Health Research, and Russell Ball,
manager for technical operations, !
answered questions freely, stat- |
ing that the project is not classi
fied and when the excavation
takes place after continuing stu
dies which will take it into 1962
or 1963 at least, there will be in
ternational observers on this ap
plication for peaceful use of
atomic energy.
Ball stated that the scientists
are confident that so little of the
debris will reach the surface that
no harmful effects will' result but
that the studies will continue by
specialists in many fields for
some time before the blast will
be made.
When asked if it were possible
to have an atomic blast at Cape
Nome for a harbor, it was ex
plained that only after an experi
ment of this kind is made will it
be possible to plan for future use
of this energy for such a project.
Mr. Southwick announced that
there would be a new project
manager at Cape Thompson this
summer—Myrle Smith from Al
buquerque, New Mexico.
The party left for Shishmaref,
Wales and Deering and after that
will cover the more northerly vil
lages, Barrow, Noatak, Kiana,
Selawik, Pt. Lay, Wainwright and
places in between where they will
meet with the village councils and
explain as well as educate the
population on the importance of
the project as well as give assur
ances that nothing will be done
should the continuing studies in
dicate any harm might be done
to people or wildlife.
They stated that for 15 years
experiments have been going on
in Nevada and there has been no
one hurt and no need for evacuat
ing the population.
