As reported in this Bulletin j
earlier, the First State Legisla
ture passed a law authorizing the '
construction of roads into and j
I within areas of the State believed
| to contain mineral resources of
i commercial importance. The in
| tent of the Legislature is to open
inaccessible areas of mineral
promise whether any operators
are active in the areas or not,
and the intent is not to benefit any
one operator. The State Public
Works Dpartment is to do the j
, engineering on such roads, but |
the Divsion of Mines and Min- J
erals must determine priorities j
among proposed roads and make J
recommendations to Public Works. ’
At present, there is an appropria

under the Act. Future appropria

Clyde Eben Participates
In Army’s West German
Mock Warfare Tactics
BERLIN, (ATHNC) — Army]
Pic Clyde J. Eben, 22, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Wayne Eben, Unalak
leet, recently returned with his
unit to its permanent location in
Berlin after having completed an
nual infantry training in Wild
flicken, West Germany.
Eben and other members of
the 6th Infantry’s Company C
journeyed through Soviet-con
trolled East Germany to Wild
flecken, where tactical maneuvers
were conducted under simulated
combat conditions.
The Berlin Command, organ
ized at the end of World War II,
is an 31-square-mile area in the
southwest portion of the four
power city.
Eben, a rifleman, entered the
Army in August, 1958, and com
pleted basic training at Fort Ord,
Calif., before arriving overseas in
January.
He was graduated from Cove
nant High School in 1958.

Air Force Cancels
Program for Super
Plane Engines
WASHINGTON, iffi — The Air
Force has canceled a lGO-million
dollar program for an advanced
aircraft engine using high-energy
chemical fuel.
It appeared to be another step
in the switch from manned air
craft to rocket missiles as the
chief instrument, of modern war
fare.
The Defense Department has
been under heavy criticism for
continuing developmnt of expen
sive new manned aircraft pro
grams instead of concentrating on
missiles.
The contract canceled Monday
was for development of the Gen
eral Electric Co.’s J93-5 engine.
The action also knocks out of
operation a new 45-million dol
lar chemical plant built by the
Olin Mathieson Chemical Corp.
near Buffalo, N. Y., which was to
produce the fuel.
The J93-5 engine was an im
proved version of the J9-3. Both
engines were slated for the B-70
bomber and the F108 Rapier
fighter-interceptor. These planes
are designd to fly 2.000 miles an
hour at altitudes of 70,000 feet.
An Air Force spokesman said
the prototypes of these planes
will not be affected by the can
cellation. They will use the earlier
J93-3 engine and still attain the
planned speeds, he said.
The advanced turbo-jet engine
had an afterburner that would
use boron fuel to give additional
bursts of speed. Boron is a non
metallic chemical element.
The F-108 is to be completed
in 1960, with the B-70 slated for
production 18 months later.
THIS IS NO BULL
LISBON, Portugal, Uf) — A
bullfight promoter was killed
and two companions were gored
Sunday when they leaped into
■the ring to escape a rampaging
bull and encountered three other
beasts just let loose. The pro
moter was talking with the other
men when a bull escaped from
his pen into the corridor adja
cent to the ring. The trio jumped
the fence into the ring and en
countered the other bulls.
