Opening Iron-Rich
Area in Alaska
WASHINGTON UPV—1The House
Territories Subcommittee today
approved a bill to open a 320
acre tract near Klukwan, Alaska,
to mining. ,
It acted after hearing Phil
Holdsworth, territorial mining
commissioner, describe the area
as having the capability of “100
years’ operation with a daily pro
duction of 5,000 tons of iron con
centrate.”
Asked if the proposed develop
er of the area was responsible,
Holdsworth replied with a smile:
“As responsible as U.S. Steel
can be.”
The tract has been closed to
entry for the last 14 years, i
Under the bill, the land would
be made part of the Klukwan In
dian village subject to lease for
mining purposes.
Delegate Bartlett said he had
introduced the bill at the request
of the village council which is
desirous of obtaining employment
for the Indians as well as mineral
royalties.
The subcommittee also ap
proved a bill to transfer title to
the territory of 64 acres inside
the City of. Anchorage. Income
from the land—appraised at
$985,000—would be earmarked
for the support of public schools.

S SCIENCE IN
YOUR LIFE
Facing The Chair
Years ago, a Boston court ruled
that a tooth was worth $1,000. On
! that basis, your teeth are valued at |
$32,000 — if you still have them all.
i Yet many people let these valu
able assets fall into a dangerous
state of.decay because they can’t
bear the thought of dentist drills
and extractions. In a few extreme
cases, patients have actually become
sick when they entered their den
tist’s office. Children are perhaps the
I worst offenders, often turning into
unruly monsters
as soon as they’re
asked to open
their mouths.
One effective
way dentists can
get around the
problem is to use
Atarax, a tran
quilizer syrup
given 15 minutes
before drilling begins. A dentist in
Larchmont, N.Y., reports that it
quickly eases jittery patients, great
ly reducing all signs of their nerv
ousness. It works wonders with
children too. They still don’t like
dentist drills, but they no longer
react with those uncontrolled tan
trums.
However, the best way to avoid
dental jitters is to prevent tooth
decay. The American Dental Asso
ciation recommends a complete den
tal examination at least twice a
year — and more often if you get
cavities easily. During these check
ups, be sure to have your teeth
cleaned thoroughly.
Don’t forget the brushing-after
each-meal routine. It is still one of
the most effective ways to guard
against dental trouble.

Contract for New Bomarc Missile
For Air Defense Announced
SEATTLE, OR—A $7,109,195
contract for Boeing Airplane Co.
production of an interceptor mis
sile that can “shoot down enemy
aircraft at a far greater distance
than any other missile presently
in use in air defense” was an
nounced yesterday.
The far-ranging weapon is the
Bomarc IM-99. The announce
ment was made jointly by the Air
Force and the company.
The Bomarc has a range of be
tween 200 and 300 miles, is super
sonic in speed and presumably is
capable of using either conven
tional or nuclear warheads.
Bomarc was described as a
THE SILENT RADIO
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., OR—It
irritated Mrs. Olympia Griego of
Albuquerque, as she sat on the
front porch, when the radio in
the living room went dead in the
middle of a program she was
hearing.
But she was more irritated a
few moments later.
She found the radio was miss
ing from its shelf. Police said a
thief made off with the instru
ment , through the back door.
Fine Job Printing al The Nugget
1 ground-to-air interceptor designed
to operate at “extreme” altitudes.
The announcement gave these
details:
“The new missile is launched
vertically by a liquid fuel rocket
motor. When it reaches a speed
suitable for ram jet operation, the
rocket cuts out as twin ram jet
engines take over to provide su
personic cruise flight. The ram
jets are slung as struts beneath
the slim, cylindrical fuselage.”
The Bomarc is about 47 feet
long—10 feet longer than the F-86
Sabre jet fighter plane. The wing
span is 18 feet 2 inches.
The University of Michigan
participated in the early stages of
development and the weapon gets
its name from the “Bo” of Boeing
and the MARC for Michigan Aer
onautical Research Center.
The Bomarc will be operated
by the Air Defense Command
from bases “where its range ca
pabilities may be fully utilized.”
