Permafrost Expert Will
Head Research Lab At
Barrow This Summer
FAIRBANKS, US—Dr. Ernest N.
Patty, University of Alaska presi
dent, announced the appointment
of Max C. Brewer as director of
the Arctic Research Laboratory at
Point Barrow.
The University operates the
laboratory under contract with
the Office of Naval Restarch. The
facilities attract from many parts
of the nation scientists who are
interested in Arctic research.
The new director will assume
his duties in September, approxi
mately one month before Dr. Ira
Wiggins, present director, returns
to Stanford University where he
is a professor of biology and dir
ector of the Natural History Mu
seum.
Brewer is with the geophysics
branch of the United States Geo
logical Survey at Menlo Park,
Calif. He first came to Alaska in
1948 to make geophysical studies
on permafrost. For several years
at Barrow he was project chief
of the Arctic ice-permafrost proj
ect of the geophysics branch of
the U.S.G.S.
Early automobiles frightened so
many horses and created so many
runaways that one manufacturer
mounted a dummy horse’s head at
the front of his vehicle to fool
old Dobbin.

27 Cars Derailed |
On Alaska R.R.
ANCHORAGE, UP>—Rail traffic
has been restored on the Alaska
Railroad between Anchorage and
Fairbanks after a derailment of
27 cars one half mile south of
Talkeetna which caused damage
of from $250,000 to $500,000
“We believe the derailment was
caused by a broken wheel,” Dick
Bruce, superintendent of opera
tions of the road said. “We found
some broken wheels and some
marks on the ties indicating the
possibility that this was the
cause,” he said.
The derailment occurred at 5:49
a.m. Tuesday.
Seven 10,000 gallon military
tankers carrying jet fuel piled up
on top of each other and on top
of several cars carrying new auto
mobiles. All the fuel in the upset
tankers was drained and Bruce
said all of the automobiles were
“beyond repair.”
Fifteen lengths of track were
torn up. Three carloads of radar
towers were involved in the acci
dent although most of them will
be salvaged and put into operating
condition.
The Germans were the first I
people to use gunpowder in war
fare in 1338.
