Alternative Products
Adequately Fill Alaska’s
Milk Need, Survey Shows
WASHINGTON, W — A gov
ernment report said Saturday
Alaska appears to be adequately
supplied with milk despite its
dairy production and supply prob
lems.
The Agricultural Marketing
Service said the new state is su
plied with fresh milk as well as
milk in such forms as recombined,
concentrated, evaporated and dry
milk.
Made in 1957, the survey found
that less than half the milk con
sumed here was in the fresh
form. Some of this was imported
from Seattle. The survey was
made under a program of research
to improve the marketing of farm
products.
Part of the fresh supply in Ju
neau, Fairbanks and Kodiak, and
all of it in Anchorage, was ob
tained from Alaska dairy farms.
“The Alaska market appeared
to be adequately supplied with
milk, although this adequacy was
dependent upon consumer accep
tance of alternative products
with which to satisfy their re
quirements,” the report said.
“There are opportunities for
increased local production and
processing, if costs can be held
in line with possible returns, if
the availability of alternative sup
plies from Seattle is taken into
account, and if local production
can be equated seasonally with
consumption requirements.
“Acceptance of alternative pro
ducts by Alaska indicates the po
tential of long-distance movement
of fresh milk and the possibility
of marketing, in markets with
high production costs, alternative
milk products from supply areas
where production costs are low,”
it said.
[Alaska Constitution Gets
I Final Signature
JUNEAU, ue> — For the first
time since it was completed in
1956, the Alaska Constitution
bears the signatures of all 55 dele
gates to the Constitutional Con
vention.
R. E. Robertson, only delegate
to the convention who did not
sign the document, affixed his sig
nature to three copies of the Con
stitution last week. Two copies
will be displayed in the State His
torical Museum in the Alaska Cap
itol Building here. The third was
a personal copy owned by Rep.
Dora Sweeney of Juneau, one of
the convention delegates.
Several legislators took time
during the noon recess to watch
the Juneau attorney add his name
to the 54 already on the docu
ments. Robertson, 74, has been ill
and confined to his home in re
cent weeks.

Air Force Orders
Bomarc Cutback
WASHINGTON, UPI — The Air
Force has ordered a drastic cut
back in its program for the Bo
marc B, an antiaircraft missile
that so far has been unsuccessful
in seven firing attempts.
The half a billion dollars saved
will be put into more inerconti
nental missiles, the Ballistic Early
Warning System and speeding up
work on the Midas satellite, which
will spy enemy missiles almost as
soon as they are launched.
The Air Force also said it is
cancelling some combat control
centers in the SAGE system.
SAGE stands for Semi-Automatic
Ground Environment, and is an
electronic system for detecting
enemy attackers and deploying
U. S. defense forces. An effective
SAGE system will be completed.
The House Appropriations Com
mittee last summer accused the
Air Force of waste and extrava
gance for continuing the Bomarc
B program. At the time the Air
Force was wrangling with the
Army about the respective merits
of the Bomarc B and the Army’s
Nike-Hercules, a n operational
missile with a shorter range.
In addition to beefing up Atlas
ICBMs, Midas and the land-based
warning system, the Air Force an
nounced these objectives:
1. Improvement of the super
sonic jet fighter system and mod
ernization of the present radar
system.
2. Development of “an advanced
fire control and missile system”
for interceptor planes.
3. A speedup in development of
the Minuteman solid-fuel inter
continental missile, which can
stand ready i n underground
launching tubes or be moved
around on railroad cars.
Atlas squadrons now have 10
missiles each. The Air Force is
considering upping this to 15 by
1962.
The Boeing Airplane Co., which
produces the Bomarc B, said in
New York the cutback would have
a serious impact on the company.
The Defense Department said
the reduction in total Bomarc
strength will not affect Bomarc
squadrons programmed for the
Royal Canadian Air Force. Cana
dian Defense Minister George
■Pearkes said in Ottawa his govern
ment still intends to install two
Bomarc bases in Canada as
planned.
Pearkes said two weeks ago in
an interview that the United
States would pay for the Bomarc
B missiles and launchers to be
installed in Canada, while Canada
would finance preparation of the
sites.. Costs of the missiles and
launchers was estimated at 72 mil
lion dollars. The sites, 15 million
dollars.
X-Ray Pioneer, 85,
Dies A Victim of
Own Experiments
CHICAGO, UR — Dr. Emil H.
Grubbe, pioneer in the- field of
X-Ray and radiation treatment,
died Saturday, a victim of his own
scientific experiments.
The 85-year-old physician suc
cumbed at Swedish Covenant
Hospital.
Burned by X-Rays in the fall
of 1895, Dr. Grubbe was the earli
est known victim of man-made
radiation. He later said that his
radiation rays, which crippled and
disfigured him, provided the idea
of using radiation for therapeutic
purposes.
In 1896, Dr. Grubbe, as a 20
year-old physicist, used a beam of
B-rays to treat a woman cancer
patient. Late in life, he generally
was credited as the father of X
Ray treatment.
Death came to him after years
of painful treatment of cancer
brought on by constant exposure
to X-Rays. He underwent 93 op
erations and lost most of both
hands and several sections of his
face.
Despite his affliction, he con
tinued in -his work and outlived
all -but one of the doctors who
treated him.
Last year, Dr. Grubbe turned
over most of his assets to the
University of Chicago Cancer Re
search Foundation. The value of
his gift was appraised at $157,
992.23. >

WASHINGTON, (Jt — Alaska
and Hawaii senators were told
Friday that first class air mail
should start traveling to and from

ported.
Aides said the CAB order sets
space-available rates for first class
mail as follows:
For Alaska — via Seattle, Ket
chikan, Juneau, Cordova, Yakutat,
Kodiak, Anchorage and Fairbanks.
Details of the rate order were
not immediately available.
The senators were told the Post
Office would put the air service
ino operation “as soon as arrange
ments can be made.” It will speed
up considerably movement of first
class mail which usually traveled
by ship to and from the new
states.
The new arrangement was an
nounced by the offices of Senators
